Kill A Total of Fifteen.
Quite a discussion haa arisen anion
sportsmen and other in regard to the
numiier oi Dims that may be killed In a
day by single person. In regard to
this, Warden Uulinby Iim the following
to say ; "The limit to the number ol
birds that may be killed in a day does
not simply apply to one kind, but a
hunter can kill onlv fifteen of all kinds
of birds combined. Deputy game ward

portunity to flail but a few hours, still
they returned with fl-HH) worth of fish.
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,

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

clutches 01 the taw, and skulking ofl to

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

A District lit Thi Cofsnty Ha Bat
On Fopll,
It rarely happen, even fn eoantle not
more densely populated than tui one.
that but one pupil reside in a school
district, but ucb la th case hero, and
Superintendent Copeland, being of th
impression that it would be an injustice
to my th apportiontneot over to such a
dist rict, withheld th money pending a
aecunon oi id attorney general. lie
wrote to too stats moerintendent in
regard to tlie matter, tha following dls-
patcn oaring appeared in tn ureuouian
oi uciooer otn :
"Malum. Or.. Oct. 4. A neculiar con
dltion exists in on cbool district in
Colombia county, ss the following letter,
received dv euoerintenuent Acaermsn.
from the school mirjerintendent of that
county snow :
" 'There 1 a acbool district in this
county that should not, it seems to me,
receive any more ol the oobltc lund.
but just on what ground to withhold the
money, if it can lie done at all. is net
clear to me and I would like to bare
your advice on the matter.
' Titer is only one pupil fn the dis
trict to attend scnooi. a uoy thirteen
year of age, and not resident enough
to lurnisu tn required number oi school
officers. At the last annual school elec
tion there wore only two person pres
ent i man ana in who, ootn airector.
Ae tbe man' term of office expired, be
wa re-elected for three year, receiving
tbe unanimoua vote of tbe bouse. A
week or more later tbe two member of
tlie board appointed s clerk.
" The Dor in the district la a son
of tbe directora, and tney usually em
ploy some member of tbe family to
teacn tne scnooi. ine matter is pro-
yoking; a Kood deal of comment, and it
doe not teem tbe proper tbing to send
any more money there if it can be le
gally withheld. Tbe boy can attend
acbool ia another district by going only
two nine.
" There were (even person enumera
ted in tlie district last spring that draw
acbool money, bat they were only tem
porary resident. There will probably
not be more than one bov to attend
school in tbe district for some time to
come.
" '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.'"
The letter haa been turned over te
the attorney-general, aud it it probable
that he will render an opinion on tbe
question soon."
xn Monday Telegram ol thi week,
ppeared tbe following dispatch from
Salem, which practically settle tbe
matter so far as paying oyer tbe lands is
concerned :
"Salem. Or.. Oct. 16. Attorney-Gen
eral Biacamirn naa rendered an opinion
in which he hold that the county su
perintendent of Columbia cannot with
hold money from a district in which there
i only one pupil, both parent of the
pupil being directora and employing a
member of tbe family a teacher."
The district in ouestion is No. 46. lo

trict, Mr. Schoonover and bis wife being:

Teach the Bo to Work.
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.
