OREGON,: FRIDAY, MEMBER 2,
1900,
IA LITTLE OF
The total registration of Greater
New York for 1900 is (io6,m.
Tho Spanish cabinet has resigned
as a protest against the appoint
ment of Weyler as Captain General
ofMadiid.
A Methodist Episcopal Church
was dedicated at Manila A ugust 1 2,
being the first Protestant church
dedicated in the Philippines.
Tho money expended on the com
mon school system of the United
States is equal to the combined out
lay for public education in Eng
land, France and Germany. In
this country seventy per cent of the
children of school age are registered
in schools.
In 1894 a partial franchise was
granted to women in Illinois, and
in Chicago that year 29,815 female
voters registered and a few voted
for tbo novelty of the thing. In
1898 but 1448 registered, aud this
year they have disdained to go near
the registration booths.
A new mile of standard ninele
track railroad, without taking into
consideration the switch tracks and
side tracks, requires about 4500
ties. The average life of a railroad
tie is about five years, so that in
ten years a railroad will use ties at
the rate of about 9000 for evtry
mile of track.
Word has been received at the
War Department that the cable
ship Burnside is at Port Said on
her way to Manila. This vessel
left New York on September 26 and
carries a full equipment of cable
paraphernalia to connect Manila
with all-the islands of the Philip
pine Archipelago.
Perhaps, after all, the men who
could not get away from Nome this
fall will be the lucky ones. Nature,
is said, through the action of
wind and wave, has renewed to a
considerable extent the deposit of
ruby sand on the beach, and
stranded miners are again out with
their rockers washing the sands
with profit. Oregoniari.
Tree owners in various states are
being humbugged by the purchase
of an insecticide which, when placed
in an augur hole in a tree trunk
will permeate the tree and render
it distasteful to insects. It is a new
application of the old idea of feed
ing a hen with dyes in order to pro
duce Easter eggs, and an equally
apt illustration of the unfortucale
inharmocy between theory and
practioe. American Lumberman
The four-masted ship Lindfield,
loaaed at the gastings mill at Van
couver last month for Southampton
and London. She had a very large
cargo 6f lumber including four ship's
spars of unusually large size. They
are carried on her deck and are 32
by 32 inches and are about 105
feet long. They, are to fill a special
order for the Admiralty, and will
be used for masts for the Queen's
acht, Albert, .replacing the iron
masts now in use.
A novel point has been decided
in St. Clair County, Illinois. David
Gage and wife were killed- in a
terrible storm that swept over the
county four years ago. The bodies
were found lying side by side. They
had one daughter, the only lineal
heir. In a suit for a settlement of
the estate, the question arose as to
which had died first. " If Gage,
then bis wife's relatives would be
entitled to her award, consisting of
the homestead. If his wife died
first, then her relatives would be
entitled to nothing, but the whole
eetato, amounting to about $10,000,
would fall to MisB Mabel Gage, the
daughter. There was no way of
proving which had died first, and
the court held that since woman
NO. ii
physiciilly is wcaktr tban man,
Mrs. Gage must have died first, and
upon this hypothesis" awarded the
estate to the daughter.
An officer in the Austrian army
in Vienna has invented balloons
which will float both men and
horses across a river. They arc to
be fastened to belts around the
men and the harness of the horses,
The Government is preparing to
relieve the suffering of the drought
stricken Indians on the Sacaton
reservation, in . Arizona. Several
1 carloads of rations will leave Phoe
nix. Arizona, in a few days, and
will , be dirtributed among the
destitute.
Last year two Italian railway
lines passing through swampy
regions supplied all their station
houses with mosquito nets. In
consequence, there has been such a
diminution in the number of cases
of malaria that other lines in Italy
and in Sicily are about to adbpt
the same measures.
Alvard, the bank robber, who
stole $700,000 frcm the First Na
tional bank, New York City, has
been caught in Boston. He was
note teller in the bank and squan
dered the money he robbed the
bank of on race horses and in fast
Jiving, fart of the amount has
been returned to the baDk. ,
The Chinese exclusion act will
expire in 1902. Chairman Maguire
of the Central Labor Union Bays:
"I'wish to give this timely warning
so that laboring men and women
throughout the United States shall
take measures to have another ex
clusion bill passed. Visit your
congressman and see how he atand.
on the question. Put him on record."
A college student visited a Phila
delphia photographer the other day
and sat for his picture. When the
plate was developed the astonit hed
photographer saw plainly on the
young man's forehead a clearly de
fined death's head with crossbones
beneath it. Thinking it was some
imperfection in the plate, the pho
tographer arranged another si'ting.
Again the skull and cros;bones ap
peared in the pictuie, and the
mystified photographer was fairly
struck dumb with amazement.
Then he noticed the smiling sitter
and finally induced him to tell the
joke. The trick simply consisted
of painting on the forehead the
grim design with a solution of bi
sulphate of quinine. This is invisi
to the eye, but shows pure white to
the camera.
For the fiscal year, ending June
30, the government printed of notes,
cirtificates of deposit, bonds and
National bank notes, 26,032,718; in
ternal revenue stamps, 48,784,045;
custom stamp?, 225,000; postage
stamps, 40,042,547; postage stamps
for Cuba, 162,300; postage stamps
for Porto Rico, 16,550; postage
stamps for the Philippines, 52,010 ;
postage stamps for Guam, 1570;
checks, certificates, drafts, etc.,
1,592,683. The number of sheets
printed, which was 116,909,423,
does not really give a fair concep
tion of the amount of work done.
There were for instance 40,042,-150
sheets of postage stamps, but the
number of stamps in the sheets was
4,026,452,574. The number of in
ternal revenue stamps was 2,439,
747,312. It is estimated that for
the fiscal year 1902 the bureau will
have to print 142,357,100 sheets of
the various classes of the work.

One of the first things that will
demand attention in our new trade
relations withthe Orient will be
tbe introduction of Oregon apples
and other fruit. : ,
Alrea'dy a demand has coma
across the water for a trial ship
ment and 1000 boxes will be
shipped at once. , This is only an
opening wedge for a vast and im
portant trade that is bound to open
up in the far East for Oregon
products. " , ,
One of the most important moves
for the future is introduction of Pa
cific coast flour. This will do more
toward raising the price of wheat in -
Oregon than anything else and will
make wheat raising in Willamette
valley profitable, whereae at pres
ent there is little money in the in-
dustry..
A prosperous future is in store
for Oregon and nothing will tend to -make
us so thoroughly prosperous : -
tbe opening of trade relations
with the Orient. ,
LOOKED AFTER.
The diseases of farm animals
have received special . study in tbe :
Department of Agriculture in the '
last four years. Nearly 2,000,000
doses of blackleg vaccine have been
distributed among tbe farmers and 1
cattle owners in the infected dis
tricts, with the result that tbe mor- ;
tality among Ihe young cattle in
the infected districts' has been re-1
duced from 10 to 15 per cent annu-
ally to one-half of 1 per cent. In"1
the case of sheep, the gasoline
process for exterminating pprasites
has met with great success.. In hog. -cholera
and swine plague, 70 to 80
per cent of treated animals have
been saved. Of some 24,000 ani-
ma Is treated in Iowa, only two or
three herds failed to show good re
sults.
Siberia has a poor grain crop this
year, trops in her best cereal die- -
tricts are almost a failure and the
people are actually suffering.
