I happened in ft home last
night, and over the door saw the
legend worked in letters of red:
"What is Home Without a
Mother."
Across the room was another
brief desire: "(iod Bless our
Home." Now what's the matter
with "God Bless Our Had."
He gets up early, lights the fire,
boils an egs, grabs his dinner pail,
and wipes the dew of the dawn
with his hoots while many a moth
er is sleeping. He makes the
weekly hand-out for the benefit of
the grocer, milkman, butcher and
baker, and his little pile is badly
worn before he has been home an
hour'he stands off the bailiff and
keeps the rent paid up.
If Johnnie needs a new pair of
boots " 'cause he's just walking on
the ground," dad goes down in his
dip and conies up with the price of
a hard day's sweat. If Mary
needs a new ribbon for her hack
hair, mother yearns for a new
wrapper, and the baby yells for a
rattle, down goes dad again and
up comes the coin.
But if he buys a new pipe for a
quarter because the old one was
getting kind of strong, he is warn
ed that smoking is an expensive
habit and that men have smoked
up blocks and farms and happy
homes.
When show times arrive dad
conies up with the price, and ma
goes out with the neighbors, and
Flora sparks her beam in the par
lor. Dad's clothes ain't none too
good and grime will stick, so he
sits in the kitchen with the kids.
If there's a noise during the
night he is kicked in the back,
and made to go down stairs and
find the burglar and kill him.
Mother darns the socks, yes, she
does, but dad bought the socks in
the first place, and the needle and
yarn afterwards, Mother does up
the fruit. Well, dad bought it all
and jars cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chicken for the Sunday
dinner, carves it himself, and
draws the heck from the ruins
after every one else is served.
'What is Home Without a
Mother?" Yes, that is all right.
But what is home without father?
Ten to one it is a boarding house,
father is under a slab, and the
landlady is the widow.
Dad, here's to you! You've got
your good points and they'll miss
you when you're gone. Ex.

A few of the leading citizens of
Portland recently subscribed to a
fund amounting to over 116,000
for the purpose of establishing a
Bureau of Information for the
state. At a meeting of the sub

viz., Chas E. Ladd, of Ladd and
Tilton, bankers; W. M. Killings
worth, Capitalist and Real Estate;
T. D. Honeyman, of Honeyman
Hardware Co.; W. H. lieharrell, of
Heywood Bros. Co., wholesale

dustrial Agent of the (). II, & X
Co. were elected trustees of the
fund. These trustees subsequent
ly organized and elected (-'has. E.
Ladd, Chairman; W. M. Killings
worth, Secretary, and Ladd &
Tilton, bankers, Treasurer. At a
Subsequent meeting of the trus

The purpose of this organization
is to ascertain and tabulate the re
sources of the state, gather an ex
hibit of its products and be pre
pared to till all about Oregon and
the resources of the several coun

A large, well lighted room, or
hall, has been set aside by the
North Pacific Terminal Co. in the
magnificent new Union Depot nt
Portland for use of the Bureau,
and tables and cases are now be
ing made and furniture secured for
its use in displaying products and
distributing literature.
Concessions have been granted
by the leading railroad and steam
boat lines for transmission from
their various stations to Portland,
free of charge, of all samples and
exhibits that may he sent to the
Bureau for display. Negotiations
are in active progress to obtain
like concessions from all the trans
portation companies, with every
probability of obtaining their co
operation. The encouragement
being received on this line is very
gratifying.
In the great exhibition room
enual space will he allotted to
'each county desiring it for the dis
play of its products and resources
and the distribution of such de
scriptive printed matter as it may
forward for the purpose, each coun
ty to have equally "fair show."
The Board of Trustees ask the
citizens of each county, at the
earliest day possible, to have pre
pared a map of each county, show
ing township lines and drawn to
scale of miles, on which shall be
designated all streams, county
roads, railroads, if any, navigable
waters, if any, harbors, if any,
mountain ranges, with principal
elevations, and by appropriate
coloring and notes defining the lo
cation of lands suitable for grains.
flax, hops, fruits, and the like; also
grazing lands, mineral lands, tim
ber lands, arid sections, and such
as are available to irrigation; also
the locations of water powers, if
any, cities and villages with num
ber of inhabitants and schools in
each, and such further inform
ation as may be of public interest.
These maps are to lie sent to the
Bureau at Portland, where a set of
uniform maps will be prepared for
use by the Bureau and the origi
nals returned. With each map
should be sent a concise state
ment, in suitable pamphlet form,
containing full data of crops of all
kinds, climate, mineral products

manufactures, mines, mills and
the like.
Competent persons will be in
charge of the exhibition room to
give information and distribute
the literature without expense to
localities or counties.
This address is sent to each
newspaper in the state, each coun
ty judge, and known local organ
izations and all citizens of the
state are invited to aid in this
great undertaking.

Recommendation ol a Well Known
Chicago Physician.
I use and prescribe Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for almost all obsti
nate, constricted coughs, with direct
results. I prescribe it to children of all
ages. Am glad to recommend it to
all in need and seeking relief from
colds and coughs and bronchial afflic
tions. It is non-narcotic and safe in
the hands of the most unprofessional.
A universal panacea for all mankind.

The representatives of the princi
pal Australian papers were taken
out to sea about 50 miles from
Brisbane in the pilot boat, to meet
Mrne. Mclba, on September Hi.
She was tiaveiing from Canada to
Australia by the mail steamship
Miowcra. While the pilot boat
was waiting for the .Miowcra the
.-hip's company had a remarkable
and probably unprecedented ex
perience. A great gray shark
about 12 feet in length, was hook
ed on a sebnapper line, which
broke. A second time the. big fish
got on the schnapjier line and es
caped. Then a large sharp hook
with a chain was thrown out, and
the ravenous brute grabbed it and
was caught. All hands, pilots,
eook and pressmen, tugged the
shark to the vessel's side. A huge
hook on the anchor sido was put
through his jaw and one eye, and
the fish was then hauled out of the
water. One of the crew ripped the
monster 0en from the head to the
tail. The vital organs nnd en
trails were thrown overboard, and
then both jaws were hacked out
for the sake of securing the teeth
Nothing hut the shell of the fish
remained, and the shark was low
ered overboard. A rush was made
to the side to see him sink, but the
comgany was astounded to see the
lish make off. First he swam 50
yards away, returned to the
steamer, then went off on another
tack for about HO yards, came back
to the vessel and swam astern, and
was still swimming when he was
lost sight of. That the fish could
swim away when the whole of his
interior from head to tail and the
jaw and one eye was gone simply
raised the hair of the pilots and
crew, who had never seen or heard
of the like before.

I find Chamberlain's Cough Reme
dy is an excellent medicine. I have
been sulVe-ing from a severe cough for
the last two months, and it has effect
ed a cure. I have great pleasure, in
recommending it. W. C. WOCKNKR.

A dam 400 feet long at the bot
tom, GO feet high, and 7;!0 feet
long at the top would make a lake
of Silvies Valley which lies 20
miles north of Hums. The lake
would lie miles in length; it
would average 1 J miles in width;
it would hold an average depth of
30 feet of water. It would be fed
by the streams that drain 12 town
ships of high mountain lands,
which receive the heaviest snow
fall of this region. There are said
to be in all 17 of these streams,
and they reach up to the summit
of the southern spur of the Blue
Mountains. Any person can easily
believe that all that mountain re
gion would dampen the outside
limits of the lake in one flood Bra
son and furnish a constant and
adequate supply of water for the
rich soil of Harney Valley.
Mr. Johnson surveyed two sites
for dams. They are miles
apart, the one above referred to
being at the lower extremity of the
valley. It is the one which he is
now engaged in demonstrating,
and its capacity is entirely inde
pendent of any necessity for the
second dam. Mr. Johnson says it
can be built and maintained with
absolutely no danger of excava
tion. Mr.' Johnson says that the site
he investigated is such that it
would be almost impossible to find
another that would equal it. Its
scope is magnificent in proportion
to the exiiense of labor and capital
involved in the question of con
struction. Its proximity to build
ing material is important. There
will be no patching of weak walls,
for the point of least resistance
was long ago found by nature, and
when that shall have been walled
with masonry, the limpid gem
will lie locked securely in the
heart of the mountains. And
agriculture will hold the key to its
treasure.
