The time will come when men and
women will demand the same standard
of morality for each other, honor for
honor, sobriety for sobriety, and the no

be equally reprehensible in the other.
The way fruit treea are loaded with
bloom in this viclnitv does not indicate
that the early frost did a great deal of

The supply Is largely obtained from local
farmers and those residing on the Wash

they are received in sufficient quantities
to reduce the price.
It matters not how good times may be.

The Rainier Review has suspended
publication and R. H. Mitchell has pur
chased the material and removed it to

Mr. E. W. Oonyers, the pioneer mer
chant of Clatakanie, was in town Tues
day attending to business matters. He
continued on to Portland in the after
noon to straighten up the remaining por

making payment for the last three or
four year. When Mr. Conyer was
forced into insolvency bis liabilities were
about $7,600, but by perseverance and
better trade condition lie has liquidated
the entire debt.
There Is to be a meeting of the eiti
sens held at Vernonia tomorrow (Satur
day) for the purpose of discussing the
road question and the signing of the pe
titions now in circulation. The matter
of technicalities on terminuses will un
doubtedly be satisfactorily adjusted and
the signing of the petitions readily and
heartily entered into. Had the petitions
been otherwise drawn the whole affair
would have been invalidated. The pe
titions are in exact accord with the stat
utes, and the question of an eastern
terminus is matter that can be easily
provided for.
I waa reading an advertisement of

stated to n that he experienced but one
obstacle in deciding to come to Oregon,
and that waa the fear of there being no
chance to send bis children to school, as
the impression is prevalent In the sec

increased attendance in is term, ana
much interest is manifested by pupils,
patrons and teacher. Mr. Merrill says
the people of that vicinity are highly
pleased with the operation of the milk
skimming station there, and the farmer
are now thoroughly convinced of the
good merit of such an institution. Much
labor and anxietv is saved to the pro
ducer, and the cash paid for their prod

due to the moon. They say we are hav

the first one we have had for tome time,
Evarv thirtv vears we have a left hand

disturbance of the element but put the
whole world out of joint. Thirty year

An exchanne offers this a advise to
young ladies; Don't hang around the

and take a back seat with your escort
and whisper and giggle during the ser
vice. Don't be loud, boisterous or slanirv.
Stand on your dignity ; do not form ac
quaintance quickly j do not carry your
heart on your sleeve, and don't throw
yourself into the anna of every goodlook
ing actor or well dressed stranger that
comes to town. Be womanly, be modest,
be toughtful and serious at times; don't
unsex yourself and thus lose woman's
sweetest charm. Don't regard your long

COLLECTION OF ROAD TAX.
Law to Govern Supervisor la Dis
charge of their Dutte.
Deputy District Attorney B wrier, of
Washington county, ha written the fol
lowing; opinion for the ruidance of the
county court and supervisor of that
The opinion of the law i applicable in all
oounttea of tne state, and tnM article
may prove profitable to supervisors :
''Section 4088 of tbe road law a com
piled by the secretary of state by au
thority of tb legislature in a joint reso
lution adopted in February, 1893, pro
vide that 'a delinquent snail become
liable to the supervisor (or the amount
of hi road tax in money,' and said seo-
tlon 4088, WB, 4UU1 and wm prescribe
the manner of collecting such delinquent
road tax. The law a compiled in the
foregoing sections waa enacted in 1864
and. in 1866 another law wa enacted
which is compiled in section 2836 of
Hill' code, and read as follows: 'If any
person liable to perform labor on tbe
public roads, or to any tax for road pur
poses, shall fail so to do when warned
or demanded, the supervisor shall im
mediately give to the sheriff state
ment of tneb delinquent road work or
road tax. showing the amount that will
discharge the same in money, and the
sheriff shall Immediately collect the
same.' etc., and prescribes th manner
of collecting said tax. Tb provision
of section 2836 being repugnant to those
provisions of sections 4088, 4081 and 4008
which prescribe th manner of collect
ing delinauent road tax. the latter are
repealed by application and the law a
enacted in 1866 must govern. Section i
4086 of the road law wa amended in
1893. and subdivision 8 of said section
as amended refers to tbe hinging of an !
action for the collection of delinquent
road taxes, but inaamncn a section 4UU1

visors to give to the sheriff a statement
of the delinquent work or road tax,

the same in money, and it I the duty
of the sheriff to immediately collect the
same."
There's Wisdom in that Council.
Who say there ia no wisdom in the
city council of Eugene T That body ha
pawaed a chicken ordinance. We await
with anxiety the comment of rival
town. Chicken are not allowed to
stay out over night, or day either we
mean outside of owner premise. There
are other field where our council can
cover themeelve with glory. The cat
question, for instance. Make a law re- j
quiring tne owner oi leltne to keep
them at home of night. It would save
much profanity from the wicked, and
many longing to indulge in the am '
by piou men and women. By all mean
the council should next tackle the cat
nuisance. Eugene Guard.
, Btruok the Key Note.'
Wonder 1 often expressed why after
a good fishing season money ahould be
come so scarce in this county. The
wonder is that we have any money left
and that we do not come out in debt
each year. The secret of the scarcity
of money I that we pay other people
too much for doing what we ought to do
ourselves. Thousand of dollar are
sent from here each month for vege
tables and other farm products that by
rights should be paid to our own farm-
era. We are even sending out oi town
for the lumber we use. When we turn
our attention to manufacturing and to
a systematic tilling of the soil there
will be lesa complaint of scarcity of
money and we will be able to retain
some of the profit of our labor. Asto

A Critical Situation.
A lad out at Vernonia, who fully real
ized that 'tis not by work alone," and
who at the same time waa much dis
gusted because his maternal ancestor
insisted on receiving some assistance
from him when preparing for a church
social, was heard to remark: "Mamma,
what do you get out o' this, anyway T"
"Oh, my son, we do not look for our re
ward here: we'll find it when we get to
heaven." Dropping hi work and look
ing somewhat disgusted he said : "Work
In' to git into heaven I somethin' like
boy workin' to git Into show. May
b h git there and maybe ha don't." ;

RAISING THI WASHINGTON.
The Task I Being Prosecuted With
. All Possible flaate.
Unless occasion ha offered for person
to visit the seen and observe km tiuutt-
selves. little idea can be . formed of the
magmtade of the undertaking to raise
the sunken barge Washington, at Reub
en. The barge, or schooner, properly, Is
very large one, mm win dv reauiiy un
derstood when it become known that
her cargo at the time of the accident wa
comprised oi nearly louu ton of (tone.
The vessel struck on reef of rock
about 600 feet above where it now lies,
The bow of the barge lie on a large rock
projecting several feet out of water, and
the stern lies on the bottom of the river,
fast in the mud, the depth of water at
the place being 106 feet. Perhaps 20 feet
of th vessel is out of tbe water, and she
is lyiue at an angle of about 46 decree,
.The San Francisco Wrecking Company
ho the contract from the inxurence peo
ple to float and repair the vessel, and the
manner in which the work is proceeded
witb is certainly marvelous to the ordi
nary land-lubber. At that point the cur
rent has a velocity of about five miieoan
hour, and the stage of water being several
feet above tbe normal naturally carries
much sediment, rendering it impossible
lor tne diver to see ten inches ahead oi
them. Tbe eareo lies entirely in the hold
of the vessel, there beine two batches.
necessarily making tne work of the div
ers all the more tedious and hazardous.
A large scow, on which there is sta
tioned a large horizontal boiler and a
hoisting donkey of great capacity, is
anchored exactly over the sunken barge,
and from this scow the operative meth
ods are employed, When a Mist re
porter visited tbe scene last Friday there
were out tnree aiver oeing employed,
but tbe number is by this time increased
to five or six. At the time of our visit
but one diver could be down on account
of the insufficient capacity of the pump
to supply air for but one man, but in
creased facilities are by this time at
bond, and the work 1 consequently pros
ecuted witn greater success.
The divers descend a ladder, enter the
hold of the vessel, groping almost aim
lessly amid the crumbled mass of bould
er, small rock anu moo, leeung lor a
stone on which to fasten the chain by
which the cargo i being taken oat, one
piece at a time. Thi chain ia fast to a
cable, operated through a derrick, and
when everything is in readiness the diver
signal by mean of the life line, and the
rock is hoisted totnesuriaceanddumped
into tbe river again.
It was represented to tbe insurance
people when they undertook to raise the
vessel rather than pay tbe Insurance
that tbe cargo consisted of stone, none
of which weighed less than 600 pounds,
but a different condition has been dis
covered to exist, and frequently a large
cage is sent down and very small rock
and gravel is cooped into it. Thi nec
essarily make the work more tedious
and expensive; nevertheless it is ex
pected to have the barge anoat in about
thirty day.
The men performing the hazardous
function of diving theiw certainty have
supreme confidence in the reliability of
u f..t i -i L, it..
eat neglect of duty at the pump or life
line would render toem helpless, so they
are strictly at the mercy of tbe persona
who attend at those important posts.
Each diver remains under water four
hours at a time, and while down receives
11.25 an hour, beside a monthly salary
of $60 and board. The ahoea the diver
wear weigh twenty-live pounds, and a
belt weighing sixtv-fiv pound is fast
ened around hi waist, beside the bat
or bell must weigh twelve or fifteen
pounds. With such an immense weight
attached to tbe diver his progress is not
apt to be very rapid. These heavy ar
ticles of apparel are made necessary to
overcome the bouyancy of tbe rubber
suit when infiatted with air.
The air ia supplied by a three-plunger
pump, operated by two men. and is
conveyed by a one-inch rubber tube.
Tbe line tender bokis both the air-tube
and the life-line carefully in hi grasp
that he may be able to detect the slight
est signal from the diver.
Card of Thanks.
I shall alwav hold in kind remem
brance the people of St, Helena and vi

shown me in my late bereavement. My
parents join me in expressing grati
tude to all. Mb. J.U. kick.
Outlook Not Flattering, r
Th outlook for winter wheat through
out many of the growing district of the
coast is not encouraging. It I believed
that the severe cold weather haa ruined
the crop in many places, and generally
ha wrought more or less damage to the
plant. Washington report great dam
age, and in Oregon there are very serious
apprehensions as to the successful out
come of the winter wheat when theopen-
ing of spring will reveal true conditions.
In some place it 1 claimed that the
freezing and thawing, rather than the
excessive cold, have been the mean of
killing the plant.
Boy's Essay on Newspaper.
A little boy over in Burns was required
to write an essay tbe other day on the
subject of "Newspaper," and here is
the result: "I don't know how news
paper came Into the world, and I don't
think God does, for he hann'tgot nothing
to say about them, ann 'editor' is not in
the Bible. 1 think the editor is one oi
the missing lynx you hear about, and
stayed in the bush until after tbe flood,
then come out and wrote the thing up,
and has been here ever since. I don't
thing one ever dies: I never saw a dead
un and never heard of one ever getting
li ked. Our paper is a mighty poor un ;
the editor goes 'thont underdose all win
ter, don't wear no sock, and pa hasn't
paid his subscription for five year."

A Pamoua Vessel. '
On March 19, 1898, the United State
battle-ship Oregon left San Francisco for
her long run eastward around South
America. The performance was watched
by the whole people, the chance of attack
by th Spanish fleet, whose whereabouts
at sea were unknown, giving the long
voyage a sensational aspect. The Oregon
reached the Florida coast May 24.
Though she had run 14,000 knots she wo
reported ready for duty and at once
steamed to her place in the Cuban fleet.
Forty days later she took a leading part
in the battle with Cervern's ship. It
ws her speed and heavy guns that pre
vented the escape of the Colon, which
had outstripped the other Spanish ves
sels. If the Colon had run tne gauntlet
successfully the victory would have been
seriously incomplete and the war pro
longed, for it waa the utter obliteration
of their sqadron that completed the dis
couragement and disgust of the Spanish
people.
On March 18, 1809, just one year, less
a day. after her denature from San
Francisco, the Oregon steamed into the
bay of Manila and Dewey cabled that she
was fit for any duty. Again she had
steamed around Boutb. America, and, in
addition, had crossed the Pacific. The
voyage of 20,000 knot from New York
to Manila was not a race against time,
but was completed betweeu October 12
and March 18. The speed of the Oregon
is no less remarkable than her mechan
ical perfection. A year ago she ran the
4073 knot between San Francisco and
Csllao in fifteen and a half day, an
average of 203 knots day. The final
run of over 6000 knot from Honolulu to
Manila was made in twenty-six day. No

Total amount apportioned. $8,303.44.
In this apportionment each district is
given t60 (or a proportional part of 50
if a ioint district) and. in addition.
$2,643 per capita on the number of chil
dren in each district. Tbe new law,
which will be in force after the 20th of
next month, requires apportionments to
be made on the first Monday in January,
April, July and October of each year.
Another apportionment will therefore
be made in Jul v. but the total amount
received by any district during the
year will probably not exceed the
aum received lost year. Copies of the
new school law will be mailed to clerks
mm Boon as they are compiled and out
of the printer hands.
