HISTORICAL TOMB.
Humorous Anecdote Told of Got
ten "Vio" Trevitt Into Haaven.
A iwmplilot issued by a steam
boat company operating the stirn-
wheel etoamer Bailey Gazert I
tween Portland and this Oall.v, on
the Columbia river, contains a
lecture of the tomb of Victor Trevitt
on Momaloose Wand, nn ancient
burying ground, with a short ac
count of the remarkable man
whose body occupied that lonely
mausoleum. But the phaniplet
does not recount the reasons for
locating the tomb where it is.
Victor Trevitt was an Oregon
pioneer of 1S-19 and was very
prominent and popular in this
territory. He was a good democrat
a good citizen and a good hearted
man, but when became to consider
(he hereafter he was not sure that
all these would be sufficient to ad
mit him to heaven. But, reasoned
he, the Indians, on account of their
invincible ignorance, will probably
be allowed to pass in as a body,
without much scrutiny; and, if
only with them, he might be allow
ed to move along with the crowd.
Also, he thought that having al
ways dealt kindly with the Indians,
as well as ffitu his white follow
citizens, the red men would inter
cede for him if the procession should
he halted to inquire into his case.
So he asked his friends to take his
body from wherever it should fall
and deposit it among those of his
old Indian neighbors. And there
his enduring tomb stands, on
Memoloose Island, "land of the
dead," in full view from every train
that passes through the gorge of
the Columbia.
Shortly after the erection of the
monument ihere was a democratic
state convention held at The
Dalles, and the delegates from the
Willamette valley were going along
on a special train when someone
called out that "Vic" Trevitt's
tomb was in sight. Everybody of
course craned his neck to take in
the view, and it was made the sub
ject of conversation afterwards,
nearly all of the delegates having
been intimate with "Vic," and
being able to recount some incident
illustrating his steadfast Democracy
and universal kindness of heart.
After discussing bis reasons for
wishing to be buried there the
conclusion was reached by the
delegates that as ',Vic," like Abou
Deii Adhcm, had loved his feliow
men be was sure to get through
the pearly gates even if the Indians
did not.
' But," said one of the delegates,
who had observed the massiveness
of the stone composing the tomb
and the rnassiveness of their fasten
ing, " what if ,Vic could not get
out of that when Gabriel blows his
horn?"
J! -cognizing that future (possi
ble) difficulty, the delegates, among
vl.'nn weie Pennoyer, after
ward governor of Oregon; Semple
afterwards governor of Washington;
Bellinger, afterward United States
iisi,:ir;t judge of Oregon; and Bon
ba.-'i, afterward minister to Siam-
ail then and there agreed that when
the aforesaid horn should blow
they would knock down the tomb
iind let "Vic" out.
Thii resolution was very mag'
mrnuious; for though they were
a!lv,-.ni;i that "Vic" would get
ps:-. i by St. Peter all right, they

l.vt night for Salt Luk after hav
ing examined a number of proper
tics. When interviewed by a re
porter Mr. O'N'cil:
''Kastem Oregon minvral veins
have as yet hardly been scratched
let alone worked for what there is
in them. Mino owners bore don't
know what they liavo. When
searched out piece by piece they
will find that they have the iiio!Ikt
lode of California with the same
slaTe and serpentine formation.
Deep sinking is the thing that
will toll the story. In Cripple
Creek they had to go down over
ltXXl feet to get the values and, it
was a long time before they got
return. The bis Iloniestake mine
in the Black Hills is in the same
formation found here. If the
camps were in Colorado it would
be the biggest thing on earth
English capital goes into Colorado
because they have found returns
therethrough deep sinking. This
country is in its infancy, but has
better advantages for mining than
Colorado and you will find this out
with every foot of sinking."
Why ln't The Kkk Hnlch?
When bens are to fat their cgps
will not always hatch, but at tho
same time if properly treated eggs
from fat hens will hatch fairly
well. The most of tho trouble of
infertile eggs comes from lack of
proper exercise. It is very seldom
that there is any trouble of this
kind with hens that run about all
the time both winter and summer.
Such constant exercise and hunt
ing for food invigorates lioth male
and female and fills them with
vitality that adds strength to their
productive powers.
The trouble from infertile eggs is
usually among fowls that are
penned and pampered during the
winter months and not kept busv
hunting and digging for tber food.
Ihis condition reduces their
vitality and brings about a condi
tion of partial sterlity from which
tbey n-iil soon recover if compelled
to la&or hard for their existence.
Stamp out the trouble by compell
ing the fowls to work.
A few days ago Moscow, Idaho,
suffered from a sugar famine,
only one of the stores having any
sugar, and its stock consisting of
onh' one sack. This establish
Hu nt limited its sales to onepersi.n
to 2o cents worth, and men who
came from home with orders to
get 2 worth of sugar to make tho
fruit juice, "jell" ilul some lively
luiHtling inducing their frit lulu to
buy sugar for them.
