In addition to thla It adds : "The dumo-pon papers do not have much to ny about McKinley prosperity, as of days of yore, This country was never more prosperous than it is today. Of course there are a few Agulnaldo sympathizers who uevor do a thing but stand on the street corners nd comulain of hard times. This ver min infest every community."

Mr. Sherman wm Captain Henderson' steward, whom, it I said, filled the bil let admirably. Oregon's Mineral Wealth. The vastness and extreme richness of Oregon's mineral resources are now fairly well known, here at home, but Oregon capitalists are comparatively in different to them. These great mineral deposits are so near by, so easily access ible, so familiar by frequent report. Unit they are treated as a matter of little moment or of doubtful value. Tlie same region that lies invitingly open in many portions of Oregon, if transported a few hundred miles eaat or north, would soon become the scene of the ex penditure of millions of capital anil the labor ol lens of thousands oi well-paid toilers. Within the past two years thousands of men have rushed to Alaska, on a blind trail and a chance quest, most of them to encounter hard ship, suffering and loss, and many of tnem disease, disaster ana aeatn, wnen the same effort and money expended in Eastern and Southern Oregon would ave been incomparably easier and more profitable. Keturna After Many Day. Several weeks ago Tub Mist published an item among its locals in regard to Mr. J. 11. Sheldou, of this city, having received contract or for twenty tons of carp to be shipped to Germany during the winter montns. xne item was freely copied and variously commented nnon bv many tinners throughout this section, and finally returns in this form, which appeared tn the "mote and com ment" column of Monday's Orcgonian: "There Is a alicrht nrosoect that the Oerman carp planted in the Columbia, and which are considered a peat, may yet become of value. The Fishing Ua-1 zette says an experiment is being made n handling frozen carp tor tne uerman arket. The first order consists oi twenty tons. A good price ia expected for the fish when they reoch Germany. Salmon in a frozen condition are being shipped from the Columbia to Germany, and even Russia, and there is no reason hy carp should not. If the Germans want curp in winter when thoir lakes and ponds are frozen over, and their carp buriea in tne mua at tne oouoin, i they can have all they want from the Columbia. One ton or 100 tons will never be missed here, and If the Aus trian or Russians or anyone else want frozen carp by the carload, they can send In their orders." Menses of Smell. The horse will leave musty hay un touched in his bin however hungry. He will not drink water objectionable to his questioning sniff, from a bucket which some odor makes offensive, how ever thirsty. His Intelligent nose will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the fairest hands, with coaxing that would make a mortal shut Ins eyes and swal low the most nauseating mouthful at a eiitn. A mare is never satisfied by either sight or whinny that her colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal certificate to the fact. A blind horse will not allow the approach of any stranger without showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The dis tinction is evidently made by Mb sense of smell nt ft considerable distance. Blind horses, as a rule will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding fence. The sense of smell Informs them of its proximity. Others will when loosened from the stable, go direct to the gate or bars opened to their accustomed feeding grounds, and when desiring to return, after hours of care lens wandering, will distinguish one out let and patiently await Its opening. The odor of that particular part of the fence is their pilot to it. The horse in browsing or while gathering herbage with itslips is guided in choice of proper food entirely by its nostrils. Blind horses do not make nustakos in their diet. O. A. MAMIE ACQUITTED, Jury Returned a Vswdlof to That UlYeot Last Friday. Ex-fllierlir (i. A. Masai, according to verdict rendered by a jury of twelve person butt Friday, is again a fre man mim nanny s year oi vanea exper fence in thi and other countrW Ii i unnecessary at this time to reiterate tn circumstances in tn esse, m every man. woman and child in thi county u familiar with ths whole story. jnaasie cannot os planted lor his un tiring effort to free himself from tlie iron grasp of ths law, and to restore hi peace oi mind Iroin constant Mar ol de tection and final disgrace of being eon' victed of defrauding hi fellow. The experience ha been unoleasant and unprofitable from tbe vary first of Hassie's connection with public aha rs of the county, both for himself and the person wno pot nun in a position which ultimately led to his downfall and die- grace. Overcome by prospect of future prosperity and happiness Masai could not resist the temptation to further add to hi temporary era ol popularity, and the result was as might have been ex pected. Possessing a disposition to make himself both beard and seen, he wss into one transaction and then an other, of which he seemed to tak pride in letting tlie public know all about. Massie's interview reported in hut Sunday's Orcgonian ia a fair sample of tne man. Nothing different could have been expected from such a source. Not satisfied with being released from the clutches 01 the taw, and skulking ofl to part wnere lie would pe unknown and there bide bis self-convicted beinir. he adds insult to injury by intentionally caatiiia aspersions nooi ii msomciai elate at the time ol hi lamentable ex- pcriencea. and defiantly and victouiv spreading broadcast throughout the state the ungrounded, disgraceful impression that every public man in this county is of hi own dishonest kind. He not only Insulted those whose every effort wa di rected to secure til release. Put he in sulted every person within the county. tie Doaats oi owning a nne mrni in tne eastern part of Washington, while be fore hi trial he placed much stress upon ths fact that he is a poor man. In bis utterances in that interview he convey hi inward feeling of acorn and contempt for a community of people beguiled into a vin pa tne tic euort in ms Deiian oy flis sleek, oily tongue and manner. In every sentence is scorn, in every word i con tempt. Hi heart reflect the envy be possesses for those who are doing right, and in hi soul is the scorpion of sell- felt conviction, stinging and burning with tbe sense of wrong and guilt, while In bi eye is that twinkle of reliance in his own shrewd ability to defraud tbe public and deceive hi fellow into ac quitting him of a felon's act. He smiles at his success and condemns those whom he duped. He insults them by flinging vneir own acis oeosnuy iu wieir teem. Massie's innocence wm never estab lished, and today nine-tenths of the peo ple ol this county look upon mm as a man guilty of tbe crime for which he wm arrested and tried. Indeed, the "last cloud hu not been removed" : neither are all the people in Columbia county of the kind Massie would have them understood to be. Fighting; the Project. Down in Clatsop county a vigorous attempt is being made to improve a certain road from Astoria to Nebalem valley, and to that end petition are being circulated praying the court to levy a two-mill tax lor a period of four year in order to defray the expense, but like many other such enterprises in other part of the country, there i op position and serious contention among those most interested. There haa been a strong effort made several time in the Kast by persona in Aatoria and tbe Ne alem' to improve one particular road, and many different plan have been de vised for the consummation of the pro ject, but each one seem to-have failed with due regularity. The latest attempt now promisee to be no exception to the rule if the following item in last week's Astoria Herald is to be understood M an indication of whatia transpiring: "There is considerable opposition to the proposed county road to tbe Neba lem. The farmers cannot agree on a route, and it ia very probable that the project will be abandoned. If it is, tbe Herald will fight any more appropria tions or the spending of any more money on that road. It Iim cost the county over f20,000 and the road is not as good m the trails in Columbia county that haven't cost a cent. The farmers must all agree on the location of the road or it will not be built. This kick ing over tho route and the grade used to go, but it don't go now." The Harvest Festival. Last Sunday wm the occasion of the celebration by the Episcopalians in this city of the harvest festival, a custom of ancient order. The church was hand somely decorated with fruits, flowers, grains and vegetables, and the obser vance of the occasion was made inter esting by special services and songs. Iu the evening an able sermon on the sub ject was preached by Rev. Mr. Simpson, of Portland, and a specially prepared musical programme. Monday evening the celebration was concluded with a social in Masonio hall, when an interest ing musical and literary programme was rendered, after which refreshments were served and various amusements inHnWd in. consisting? of sullimr bv auction the fruits and vegetables which had been donated. An admittance fee of 10 cents was charged, a like sum being charged for refreshments. About $18 for the church fund wm realized. Bert Whitney's Remains Recovered. Mr. Al Robinson arrived in thia city last Saturday evening from up the Co lumbia river wun tne remains oi neri Whitney, who, with his brother, Elmer, was drowned several months ago in Snake river. A gentleman by the name of Patterson found the body on the Washington shore of the river, about opposite Umatilla, near Scott's post ottiee. The remains were tenderly cured for and O. E. Whitney, of this city, no tified. The funeral wm conducted at the family homo Sunday at 1 :30 and the burial took place later in the day at Odd Fellows' cemetery, near Warren. Labor Gets the Cream. A nartv of gentlemen engaged in the logging business on Gray' river were discussing the present-day market at the Parker house last night. They claimed that there is a great improve ment over former years. The class of logs that a couple of year ago brought ft and i5 now easily bring fl. Tlie in crease is far from being all profit, however.- All hardware supplies used in baaing have advanced, uroceries, too, are higher, and the price of labor is materially greater, ijaoor, in met, gets the cream of the improved prices.

" There were (even person enumera ted in tlie district last spring that draw acbool money, bat they were only tem porary resident.

" 'I wa nrt aware of tbe true state of affairs in this district until after the ing apportionment bad been made, i bad do money to apportion in July.'"

Fat your bov to work if he i not in school. If there is nothing else for him to do put him to whitewash tbe back fence, keep the lawn mowed and even cut the winter's tupply of wood. Any thing is better than loafing about town at the rear end of a cigarette, learning all tbe evil habits and contracting all the vices that are afloat to catch idler. No honest labor will hurt your bov. but the evil habit he may contract in tbe street may kill bis soul and poison hi moral nature so as to make htm a detri ment to the community in which be lives and bow down his grayhaired pa rents with sorrow. If the father and mother of today would learn the im portance of training tbe son so as to be nduatrioos and keep them off the streets, tbe coming generation would be inestimably better lor it.
