CEMETERY WORK A SPECIALTY Oregon OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1901 I A LITTLE OF All the land above sea level would not fill up more Uian ono third of tho Atlantic ocean. A race liorso galloping at full speed clears from twenty feet tc twenty-four feet at every bound. London's debt, including thi sums owing by the city corporation now reaches the great Burn of 25u, 835,000. The place of tho ben is political economy, may be judged from the statement that 450,000,000,000 eggs are in cold storage in tho United States. According to an eastern ex change, rural free delivery by elec trio cars is likely to be established in some sections of New Englanr thin y oar. The national park of 1297 square miles, proposed at the head waters of the Alississippi will, if it is es tablished, be tho first in the cen tral region of the country. The Preebyterian General Assem bly has expressed its approval of individual communion cups by using them recently at the Lord's Supper. About 2,000 were used. An astronomer declares that Ju pitc-r is in the same state that our earth was 34,000.000 vears aeo. Thoee who can remember back thai far will understand what this means. For more than thirty years Hiram Paxter has been postmaster at Li- Suens, Minn., and has given entire satisfaction to the community, al though during nearly all the time be has been blind. Chicago now contains a greater population than all the citie3 in the United Sta'es contained in 1840, and New York now has a greater population than all the cities to gether had in 1850. The United States revenue cutter Grant has siezed at New Whatcom a sloop which was sailed under the British flag, because it was viola ting tho laws of this country by bringing contract Japanese labor ers, - , .. . "..' . i. , - A little grizzly bear has . been born in the New York Central. Park menagerie, which is only six inches in length, four inches high and weighs but one and a half pounds. Yet the young bear appears to be in perfect health. Foreign exports at New Orleans last year reached a total of $142,- 000,000, the largest on record, and an increase over the previous y-ar of $45,000,000. The fiaures are just an inkling of what the traffic will be whin the Mississippi is deepeued. A resolution was adopted recently by the Indian Federation of Labor asking that a law be passed prohib King the employment by street- railway companies of conductors or motermen who'are addioted to the use of intoxicants., It is reported that the Federal Steel Company, tho American Steel and Wire Company and the A inert can Steel Hoop Company are about to consolidate with $'J00,000,000 capital. It is supposed that tho ob ject of this combination is to fight the Cm negie company, ' In 1880 a trip to Europe oaoupied over a month, and was very danger ous; now it is n holiday exoursion of five days and as safe as a trip by rail. A century ago messages of business took a year to reach the Orient mid obtain a , reply, Today only a lew hours, or minutes, aiv msumed, ih inks to the telegraph. The i r; n fl-tirciHfirs of Southern California are bepoming very anx ious over tho situation because there aro not enough cars to' carry ,awv NO. 4, thi fruit (ib rapidly as it ripens.) The capacity of the two mil loads estimated at about 150 carloads a day, but there aro 600 carlopds a day to bo moved. Telephonic communication has been established between St. Mich ael and, Nome by means of a tem porary submarine cable. The toll 8 $2 for ten words. An experiment farm is lo be -tarted two hundred miles from Manila by the United States Phil opine Commission for the purpose f ascertaining what seeds and 'ants from this country can be cnl vated on the far eastern island, x'tie University of California will send from its experiment stations the required seeds and plants. Twenty years ago the city of To ronto, Canada, began the erection if a city hall which was to cost '300,000 by the original estimate. The outlay on it today has been !2,345,000, and is not yet finished. Jcanwhilc, the architect's fees, it is said, exceeded $60,000, and ef fort in the city council to dismiss him has failed. ' Paris is said to be the cleanest city in the world. Every morning 2,000 male and 600 females scaven gers, divided into 149 brigades, turn out to perform the toilet of the capital. The men work from 4 in the morning till 4 in the afternom, less 2 hours off for meals, or ten hours a day. The women are en gaged in the morning only. A peculiar musical instrument is used by the Moros. It consists of a hoop of bamboo, upon which are hung by strings, a number of thin pieces of mother of pearl. When struck with a 6mill reed these give forth a tinkling sound, a combina tion of which sound is developed into a weird, monotonous fantasy, very pleasing to the ear for a short time. -A man in Philadelphia takes five daily papers, just to read th9 pat ent medicine . advertisements. ' He imagines, when reading the symp toms of any disease, that that mal ady is growing unsern within his body, and he skips off to the drug store and buys a remedy. During the past.two years he has taken 772 bottles of various proprietary' prep arations. Congressman Connell.of theElev enth Pennsylvania district, is the richest man in the lower bouse ot the national legislature. He draws an income of $500 a day from one investment alone. Mr. Connell was born in Nova Soctia, and is one of the largest coal operators in the United States. Fifty years ago he was working as driving boy in a coal mine at 75 cents a day. J The metric system was legalized iu the United States in 186U, but its use is not obligatory. A bill is uow before congress, prescribing that from January 1, 1900, the met ric system of weights and measures shall be the standard in the United States. Public inertia defers the adoption of the system, though its general use is inevitable, it being the most accurate, the simplest and the best. Some idea of the diversity of con- anions in me state ot Texas may be gained from the fact that, there was held within its borders a few years ago at nearly the same date, a drainage conference and an irri gation convention. One was at Gulveston and the other at San Antonio. Some persons were thus studying means of lessening : tho amount of water over a large area, while others sought to increi Bi it, or rather to make its supply for ag ricultural purposes more regular. A year ago the Great Northern rnilioad made arrangements with iibor contractors for 2,000 Japanese workmen. They were assigned to work on the road from Seattle to the North D.ikotn line until a few weeks, ago, when the first of them were sent furthor east."

J the places of white men in all brnn-; ches and there were many who pre dicted the necessity of excluding the Japanese, just as the Chinese were before them. The fear, how- ever, was ill-founded. The rail road has come to the conclusion that Japanese at $1 a day are more expensive than white men at $1.25, Orders have been given to dis charge the Japanese as fast as their places can be filled. The trial of Walter McAlister, A. J. Campbell and W. A. Deatha, for the murder of Jennie Bosschieter. the pr.-tty factory girl, at Patter son, N. J., resulted in -a verdict -ofC murder. The trial has attracted a great deal of attention throughout " the United States. The oldest Christian hymn was composed not only by a pagan, the Roman Emperor Adrian, but by at persecutor of Christians as well. Tbe hymn begins with the line-- Vital spark of heavenly love" and was written between the years 7lV and 138 A. D., tbe dates of the em- ' peror'a birth and death. The hymru was paraphrased hv A ! Pope in the early part of the " eigb- ' teenth century. : ' ' The greatest oil well ever sunk is, nowjowing near Beaumont, Texas,. ai.ine rate of over 16,000 barrels a day. Hon. Robert Greer, member of the Texas legislature, is one of the owners of the tract of land upon which the great oil well is located C W. Lucas, who put down the phenomenal well, will make an ef fort Ho control the flow, as soon as the proper equipment arrives--Thousands of barrels of oil haye gone lo waste, the dirt rese: voir haw ing been overflowed. Holland, the submarine boat- man, proposes to cross the Atlantic: - -in a new craft which will live under water or travel like an ordinary : respectable steamer, just as the-: owner desires. He has planned-, the itinerary anddeclares there is no i ore to be feared in making this . ; experiment than when be first took.
