cil Tueiidiiv evening a motion was uiude
to repeal tlie ordinance forbidding bicy

to enforce Jhe law without favor, bicy

and limb unsafe, is a practice which
should not be tolerated.
Our attention was not cited to the fact
last week that Nightwatchnian Uilmore
had a very narrow escape from drowning
oil Wednesday night. A tow boat came
up to the Wood Company's wharf for
wood and Mr, Oilmore, as is his custom,
went over to lake the line. In his en
deavor to pass the line around a piling
he lost his equilibrium and fell in the
rivor. The current runs at tremendous
force at that place, and it wus with
much difficulty that Uiluiore regained a
hold on tho wharf.
A system of fruit gathering by which

by which a banket shelf supporting the
picker is manipulated up and down in
such a manner that tho fruit on the
moat Inaccessible branches are brought
within OBsy reach.
A telegraph dispatch from Astoria last
Friday stated that a party of surveyors
started from Seaside yeniorday to take
up the work of the lttulir-lleikmiiu sur
veying party. They were in charge of a
Mr. Anderson, who was formerly a civil
engineer of that city. As far as can bo
learned, tho object of tho party is to se
cure a suitable grade for a logging road
from the Nehalem country and Colum
bia county, whore large tracts of timber
hind have been bunded by an Eastern
syndicate.
Eugene Whitney nnd Eugene Illakea

Whitney. Mr. Whitney started on his

of his brother.
The meeting of bicyclists to bo held
at the courthouse in tliis city tomorrow
evening should be well attended by poi
sons interested in tho construction of a
bicycle path from here to warren, ine
proposed path can be constructed at al
most nominal cost, and when thus far
completed tho pnp from Warren to tho
county lino would ho certain to he pro
vided for. Multnomah county cyclists
will gladly co-opeiatu lu a measure in
seeing that iv path is built north from ;
Portland to the county line, and thus u '

It is said the farmers of the Willamette
valley have lost (400,000 each year on an
average by selling their hops to con
tractors. Many a grower has accepted
10 cents or jerhups less for bis hops,
while hia neighbor has received 16 cents
or more. This wus due to the fact that
tho farmer had contracted with some
dealer and was obliged to sell. The
speculator In whatever line of work lie
may lie engaged in is a dangerous man
una should be avoided by the farmer or
seller.
Here Is something that is on the stat
ute books of Oregon which, whilo it may
lie well known to all. is seemingly for
gotten by many: "A fine of not less
man two nor more than mi uollurs is the
penalty under the laws of Oregon to
sell, barter, trade, give or in any way
furnish a minor tobacco, ciuars. cigar
ettes or any compound in which tobacco
tonne a component part. A line of not
less than one nor more than ten dollars
ia imposed upon any minor found using
tobacco in uny of the above forme."
The agricultural experiment stations
of the country are continually endeavor
ing to bring about something novel and
nrolitublo in the simcnltural line. A
few of the experiment stations have sue-'
reeded in grain ng the tomato top onto
the potato root and, strange as it may
seem, the growing of a crop of tomatoes
does not seem to interfere with the
growth of the potato, and we have no
doubt that it will become common sonic
time by this means to grow the finest
tomatoes and potatoes both from the
same plant.
The fi lends of Robert Patrick, for
merly of Vernonia, while displeased to
hear of his sicknoss, will nevertheless
be glad to know that he is alive. For
many month efforts to hear from him
have been in vain, and it was feared he
had perished in the wilda of Alaska.
The chancellor commander of the local
lodge of Pytluuns received indirect word
from Mr. Patrick last Saturday, stating
that he was attacked with typhoid fever
and ut the time word was mailed he had
been sick twenty-two days. He is at
Dawson City.
Since the swell from the Hassalo car
ried Clarence Garrison and his lish boat
ten or fifteen feet out on the beach, at
the towhead, above here, fishermen re
gard it as more of a tidal wave than the
swell from a steamer, It is said that
Clarence was reposing in his anchored
boat, dreaming of being "rocked iu the
cradle of the deep,'" when he suddenly
found himself beneath his boat on the
high, dry ground. At this stage of the
river eteaiuboatincn should exercise a
little care in running their boats at full
speed past houses, barns, wharves and
other pnqierty.
Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doctor
I called on said ut first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, but it
grew worse and the doctor then said I
hud rheumatism. It continued to grow
verse, and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's I'nin Halm. 1 tried It, and one
half of a 60-cent bottle cured me entirely.
I now recommend it to all my friends.

Chris Anderson was arrested Wednes
day near Willow bar by Deputy Sheriff
iiutian, on a pencil warrant from .Mult
nomah county, and brought to this city.
Anderson has been in the habit of Bhoot-
ing rille holes through pilot-houses and
smokestacks of steamboats in order to
keen them away from that shore, be
cause of the damage their swell does to
properly, ilis latest attack was on the
No Wonder, whose captain had Ander
son arrested. He will be tried in Mult
nomah county for assault with a dan
gerous weapon.
The young Chinese pheasants which
are usually so plentiful at this time of
year. Bays a Corvallis paper, are this
season very scsroe. This is duo to the
cold, wet weather of the spring. The
bird makes two batches during the sea
son, the first early in the spring and the
second during the first part of the sum
mer months. This year the first hatch
of birds was turned out into the cold,
wet grass, and as a result many of them
drabbled and died. Very few of the
first-hatched birds reached that age
when the rains would not harm them.
and consequently Chinese pheasants
will not lie so plentiful next fall during
the open season.

During the cainpmeetings which were

morning, afternoon and evening, the
people ot w arren were treated to lour ot
the best sermons that have ever been
preached here. When it became known
that Rev. Poling, the presiding elder,
was to preach, the people were willing
to stand the discomfort of the tent, for
they realized what was in store for them.
w hen Mr. I'oling commences to preach
it is impossible to withhold your atten
tion and as he goes deeper into his sub
ject one becomes so interested that they
are carried right along with the speaker.
Not one in the audience thought of the
damp ground, the hard benches or the
cold chills that were chasing one another
np and down his back. All were forgot
ten except that they were listening to
the words of the gospel spoken in such a
manner that it carped conviction to
every heart. Brother Renshaw is to be
congratulated in securing the help of Mr.
