The claim of an Anniston, (Ala.) man that he saw the first railway train ever ran recall the ome what surprising fact that Stephen son's first eiigine wa built con siderably less than one hundred years ago. A Southern man who ha dis covered that feeding hens with onions flavors their eggs, is now trying the experiment of feeding them with whiskey and sugar to produce eggnog. There are seven hundred dia lect speken by the native coons or South Africa. And yet some sci entists are endeavoring to learn monkey language. Consul General Guenther of Frankfort, Canada, says that much of the recent prosicrity of the Dominion ib due to an influx of American capital. Perhaps this may prove the surest road to the annexation of Canada. A Philadelphia merchant recent ly addressed a business organiza tion on the "Value of a Smile." An honest smile has frequently procured a valuable business contract. .The. Treasury, officials have no fear that the vessel carrying the $2,500,000 of silver Filipino coins will be waylaid. The "swag" would be too heavy to carry away. Senator Hanna said recently, to a company of newspapermen, that when he came to Washington he discovered that the newspaier- men were worthy of special study. He studied them, found them worthy of his friendship and culti vated them them and concluding, said, "I am getting on very niceiy, thank you." The San Francisco embezzler re fused to answer a friend who call ed "Hello, Billy," at him, and ask ed him to come have a drink. There surely must be something the matter with him, and he should be apprehended at once. Thomas B. Reed was the center of a group at the Century Club the night before he was stricken with his last illness. The talk got around to Roosevelt. "Y-a-a-s, I admire Roosevelt very much," drawled Mr. Reed. "I admire him very much, indeed. What I ad mire most about him is his en thusiasm over his discovery of the Ten Commandments. t A story comes from Washington that a Chicago woman has been using the mails in an improper way. Postmaster-General Payne ordered that her letters be exclud ed from the mails, whereupon the fair Chicagoan wrote asking him for a personal hearing, to that her side of the case could be present ed. "I feel sure," she wrote, "that if I could get a chance to look straight into your beautiful brown eyes you would hear my story." Mr. Payne, by the way of a joke, wrote on a blank leaf of the letter: "Respectfully referred to the Secre tary of War for advice," and Bent it over to Mr, Root. The latter immediately' returned it wiih this indorsement: KisK one eye. Elihu Root." Vmml Mnrkul trc, lutfl. Oregoninn. Private advice report the Lon don wool market atrong, but Bos ton faifs to respond to the strength abroad, The Oregon markets are quiet yt but some activity is ex-, pected before the week i ended. Value here are decidedly firm. Much Complaint is rnado , by dealer of the quality of the Val ley wool that is coming to hand. It doe not compare with that of frmer year. The trouble is said to have been the hard winter and shortage of feed. Word comes from Polk county that shearing is now in progress, and although a considerable shortage is expected on account of so much rain and such poor pasturage the total out put in the county will probably exceed 100,000 pounds. There will be a meeting May 16, to set a day for selling the pool. Many growers in all parts of .the county are joining the pool. The offering price for single lots is about 15 cents, but it is thought that the pool will bring between 16 and 20 cents. The Ileppner warehouses report wool coming in quite lively. Shearing is now in full progress throughout the county and from this time on wool will he arriving at Heppner at a lively rate. It is expected that the bulk of the in terior wool will be in hy the last sales days, which are June 28 and 29. Lambing is nearly over in Mor row county, including the foothill country, and shearing is wll under way. The percentage of lamlw saved has not been as high a last year, but considering con ditions and the percentage through the range country generally, is not unsatisfactory to , sheepmen. A few instances of a high as 100 per cent being saved are recorded, and not many fall below 80 per cent increase. In Giiham countv. to the westward, no such luck has been experienced; increases of 75 per cent only being common, while many fell below. In some parts of Wheeler, losses are quite heavy; but the outlook on the whole is good, when the danger of this spring are remembered. A few fair-sized wool purchases have been made in Eastern Ore gon, principally for the Pendleton scouring mills, but the bulk of the sales will be held off until the seal ed bid sales, beginning at Pendle ton May '28, when representatives of the Eastern firms will compete. The clip is somewhat lighter in pl.iccs and probably a little dirtier than last year. Grades consider ed, wool buyers say they are oav- ing the same as they did in 1902, when price were satisfactory to he grower.
