DursHDiD Hut Father. 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.

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.

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

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.
