Another argument in favor of woman euflrage is handed in by a friend to the effect that ft young lady at Oillton a few days ago administered a thrashing to m man who had previously slapped her futhor. It can no longer be said that women are not willing to ahoulder the musket, (or club) or to face danger in the battle of life with the cold, cold world. It must, at least, be admitted that the lady ia deserving ol ciedit lor bar pluck. Finished Hit Studies. Lloooln J. Mr serve, of Delena, wat in town Mon day evening on his way home from Portland, where he had been attend ing the Portland Business College. Mr. Meserve had, a few dayt previous, taken the examination in all the branches which are taught there, and passed most creditably i in fact, hit ex amination papers ahow that his per centage waa 90.6-7, the highest ever had in (hat college by 5-7 per cent. II waa also in possession of a letter of recommendation from Mr. Armstrong, which he should be justly proud of. Lincoln ia now well fitted for a suc cessful business career. Wiu. Comuiica Work 8ooir. To a representative of The Mist Mr. G. Wlngate, chairman of the Astoria rail road right-of-way committee, stated last Sunday that It waa eipected to begin actual construction of the road In about ten dayt. This, if correct, ia good newt, and will ba appreciated by people who have waited for it long and patiently. It la not aurprising to aee Astoria people aoxioua about the matter since the undertaking means o much to that city. There are, how aver, some minor dotaila yet to be ar ranged, and we believe actual con atruction will not oomroenoe until these things aw consummated to the satisfaction of Mr. Hammond. Another DotiBta Servici. The Oregon Railway A Navigation Com pany, oommenolng laat, Sunday, are running the Thompson and Potter aoven daya out of the week to Astoria, each boat making a round trip every tmenty-four honra. These two aleam ra have lately been almost rebuilt and refitted for the comfort of the traveling public They connect at As toria with theaidewheel steamer North 1'noiflo for Clatsop and Ilwaco, so that )eople going to the ooaat need not be delayed in Astoria. It ma now be aaid that the traveling public are suf ficiently supplied with aocommoda tiona between Portland and the aea. So far aa we have been advised there hat been no cutting of rates. Bounds Homelike. Allen C. Slon eon, writing from Washington, D. C, givet this ones "A new and some what gay aenator from the West not the Paclflo coast did not bring his family to Washington laat season. A few daya ago he came back to thiaoity accompanied by one of hia danghtera. After spending the day in teeing the town, he left her with tome ladiet in the parlor of the Arlington at night. She waa a aweet. attractive girl, but it waa not hard to tell that she waa new to the capital, and a kindly Washing ton lady, who waa in the parlor, took nnrtaainn In it,i ha tn nnn aide And say in a confidential tone : 'You must pardon me, my dear, I don't know just how well ymi are acquainted with the aenator (naming the young lady's father), but if I were you I would not go about with him quite so freely, for it it worth any woman's reputation to be aeen In public with biro in Washington,'" Tin Busy Dairvmae, Mr. Frank Dow,.. of Hnuvles island, one of the loading dairymen of the atate, la a very busy man these dayt. With the assistants of four men he la milking over sixty cows, the oream from which, about thirty-six gallons a day, fa taken to Portland, whore a ready tale ia found at from 40 to 50 cents a gallon. The men all get up at 3 o'clock In the morning and commence milking, and after a abort time one man stops milk ing aud ttartt the patent aeparator, which separatee the cream and milk. A little later another man stops milk ing and ttarta the machine for cooling the oream ready for shipment, to that by the time milking ia done nearly all the cream hat been separated and cooled and placed in cant for the Port land market. This tame routine it re peated seven daya out of the week. On the morning of the Fourth Mr. Dow ahipped something over 200 gal lons of cream to Portland, This waa not all the product of his own dairy, a Urge part being furnished 'him to fill his order by other dairymen near by. In yeara gone by dairymen have been able to get 75 cents a gallon for oream, but the depression of business together with close competition, has reduced the price from time to time until now it ia down to forty cents. Even at this low price Mr. Dow esti mates the profit on cream at double that for butler at the present redicu lously low price of that article. While the machinery la a little expensive nearly all successful dairymen have adopted the patent aeparator and cool ing machine, finding that they are profitable in every way. There are a number of dairiea in Columbia county like the one above mentioned, which bring a large amount of money into circulation here annually. The dairy men, perhaps, work longer boura than any other laborer. The usual working day ia from S o'clock in the morning to 8 at night. At this season of the year work in the hay field la combined with the dairy, so that the scene on a dairy ranch ia a very busy one. Southern Pacific Held Up. A dispatch to the Oregonian, dated July I, say a: The Southern Paciflo over land, northbound, waa stopped tonight b three hishwavmen. near Riddles. about thirty miles south of Roseburg, and thoroughly robbed. Sticke of dynamite were placed on the rail, which disabled the engine by blowing the flanges off the pony trucks, and brought the train to a atop. Taking the fireman, two of the highwaymen proceeded to go through the train, and every car, from the express oar to the Pullman waa aearched. Nothing waa obtained from the express car. lor there was no treaaure on board. In the mail car better tucceat waa met with and the Portland-Taooma-Seattle and Victoria, B. C, registered tacks were rilled. The passengers were also searched pretty thoroughly, but just what success waa met with ia not known. One highwayman took a hasty shot at the conductor, but no damage resulted. A description of the nieu, or one of tbem in particular, ia given as, height, 6 feet 11 inches, light complexion, light mustache, pro jecting upper jaw, very heavy pointed chin, two upper front teeth projecting and high cheek bones. lie wore about a No. 8 ahoe.witQ lacks in the bottoms. Had on blue overalls. The description of tho other is that of a man about 6 feet 8 inches in height, but as he kept In the background, a definite descrip tion could not be bad. Would Not Hatch. A lady in the country not far from here recently purchased some eggs from a neighbor, whose eyesight wat not good, lor hatching. The ahadea of night were falling when the lady arrlvea Home with the eggs, and, adding three from her own hennery, she set a hen. After about three weeks she discovered three young chickens about the coop. In a day or two ahe examined the neat and atill there were but three chicks. She waited a few days longer and a third inspection excited suspicion and the good lady became convinced that the egga were not going to hatch. So ahe attempted to break them by striking one against another without suoceas; then ahe threw tbem upon the ground, then on rocks, and finally teiaed the ax, and not until this point did ahe discover they were of the Chinese make Intended only for "nest eggs." The lady cast about to see if any one waa looking, and then, muttering something in an nndislinguiahable tono, vanished from view. Wvn Vidv RitupuiHixn .

CROPS AND WBA1HEB, Following is the report of the 8tat Weather Bureau for the week ending on Monday, July 1. WESTERN OKEOOS. Weather Rain fell on Sunday over the northern portion of the Willamette valley, that is, in Clackamas, Washington, Mult nomah and Columbia connues: it also fell along the immediate coast; the amount of rainfall varied from a trace to .06 of an inch, not being sufficient in most localities to Isy the dust. A thunder storm accom panied by rain, occurred in the southern portion of Jackson county on Wednesday last; oyer a small area the rainfall was very heavy. The temperature gradually rosr irom iwonaay to inursaay, wnen tne maximum for the week occurred: on this day it ranged from 92 to 101 degrees, the latter prevailing at O rants rasa. From Fiiday the temperature fell; Monday the maximum temperature was 65 to 75 degrees. The weather has been generally clear up to Saturday; the winds nave been variable and very dry, in velocity from 5 to 14 miles an nour. xae aews nave oeen neavy at night. Crops The warm weather caused a very rapid growth and development in all vege tation. ine cioyer ana auaua crops nave all been cut and put away ; the timothy and cheat will all be cut during the next te-i days. Fully the largest hay crop ever cut in Oregon will be bad this year. The grain crops are in tine condition. Spring grain would, of course, be benefited by rain, but the absence of rain will do no material imury. Fall sown wheat and oat hare headed, and bear promise of heavy yields. Early cherries hare been marketed, and the later cherries are now coming in. Rain would seriously injure the cherry crop at the present time. The first cherries were a very heavy crop, and those now coming in will yield unusually well but then. cherries always yield well in uregon. Th fruit outlook continues to be encour aging. Hie apple, pear, plum and prone trees are loaded with fruit. The peach trees are filled, as well. There are fewer insects this year than formerly, and where thev do aDDear creater efforts are made to radicate them than ever before. The fruit crop is beyond the period of damage from climatic conditions, hence it can auits safely be assumed that a successful fruit season is assured, potatoes ana vegeta tion of all kinds promise very large returns.

Judge Hewett, of the state circuit court, has issued a perpetual Injunction against the construction of the Eastern Oregon branch insane asylum, and gives the fol lowing reasons his action : "First That said branch Insane asylum is on of the public institutions of tbe (tate, aud is, by the constitution of tbe state, re quired to be located at the seat of govern ment Second That th acts of the legis lative assembly providing for the purchase of land and construction of said branch asylum are each in violation of section S, article 14, of the constitution of the state of Oregon, and void.
