Result of an Adverse Decision on a County Printing Contract Per- hnps Not the End. ABERDEEN. tVash., Nov. 17. A sen sation has been -caused here by an attack upon Judge Irwin, of the Superior Court, by J. J. Carney, editor of the Herald (Democrat), under the editorial heading, "A Judicial Curio." The article Is the result of a decision made against Mr. Carney by Judge Irwin on the county printing contract. Carney having brought suit to prevent the printing going to an other paper, on the claim that Carney's bid was the lowest. Members of the bar practicing before Judge Irwin yesterday presented a me morial address expressing confidence In the court- During Its reading the Judge shed tears. As the case for which the Judge was criticised has not been en tirely disposed of. Editor Carney "will be cited to appear in contempt proceedings. Judge Irwin stands very high la the circuit, and the attack upon his charac ter is regarded as mendacious. One Dollar Damages, The jury In the case of Stewart vs. the City, to determine title to portion of a county road, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, giving him damages of $L This has been a stubbornly fought case. The road Is the only present outlet to a large farming territory, and Stewart, who Is a member of the Board of Aldermen, claimed a part of it as private property. The majority of the Council voted to pay him 53000 for it, but the minority, who opposed, took the matter into court, and the court's decision was against the pur chase. Stewart then built a fence, and the city tore it down, henpe the suit. The city will now condemn the property, and Stewart must either take the actual as sessed value or go Into court again. LEWIS COUNTY BONDS. Refunding Issue Sold to a Chicago Firm. CHEHAUS, Nov. 17. The County Com missioners of Lewis County yesterday sold an Issue of $100,000 of Lewis County 10 and 20-year bonds to N. W. Harris & Co., of Chicago. Harris & Co. bid $3328 premium for the issue at 4 par cent interest, which with the various accompanying conditions to the bid will make the net Interest rate to the county about 4 and 9.i00 per cent. There were 10 bids for the bonds, as fol lows: Thompson, Tenny & Crawford, of Chicago, AVt per cent and 52101 premium; Denlson, Prior & Co., of Cleveland, O., 5 per cent interest and a premium, of 53240; Rudolph Kleybolte & Co., par, Interest 44 per cent; Coffman & Kepner, of Che halLs, Vn per cent Interest and a premium 51251; Seasongood & Mayer, of Cincin nati, AVt per cent Interest and 5550 pre mium; D. M. Farson & Co., of Chicago, 4 per cent Interest and 5360 premium; Coffman, Dobson & Co, of Chehall9, 4 per cent interest and 51100 premium; Charles H. Coffin, of Chicago, 4 per cent Interest and 5251 premium; N. W. Harris 6 Co., of Chicago, 4 per cent Interest and 5332S premium; W. J. Hayes & Sons, of Cleveland, 4& per cent interest, and to be allowed 5700 cash at once for expenses, amounting to a below par bid. which, to gether with other Indefinite conditions at tached, destroyed the value of the bid. P. A. Fagg, representing Messrs. Harris & Co., was here In person, being the only outsider present. The county is at pres ent paying 6 per cent Interest on these bonds, and a material saving In interest Is to be effected. The 5 per cent rate was regarded 10 yeara ago as a most ex cellent one. However, as Lewis County is ono of the most substantial In resources in the entire Northwest, the security Is regarded as gilt edge and the sale at a lower rate will be much appreciated by the taxpayers. WASHINGTON SCHOOL FUND. Apportionment Made toy State Super intendent Bryan. OLYMPIA, Nov. 16. State Superinten dent Bryan has apportioned the current school fund for the quarter ending Oc tober 3L among the various counties at the rate of .01 per day's attendance, amounting to 5146,571 65, as follows: Adams 5 1,466 22 Asotin 1,278 37 Chehalls 4,22114 Chelan 1,324 22 Clallam 1,692 37 Clark 3,897 92 Columbia 2,250 85 Cowlitz 2.612 30 Douglas .

Valuable Threshing Plant Destroyed at Pnlouse. FALOUSE, Wash., Nov. 17. A disas trous incendiary fire occurred In the sub urbs of Palouse at 3 o'clock this morn ing when two threshing machines, owned by W. L. Nesbltt, of Palouse, were to tally destroyed, together with tanks, cook house, stackers, feeders, etc. One of the machines was almost, new, having been used but one season. The other was old, but In good repair. Both machines had been stored In a shed built for the pur pose, the last one being placed there yes terday. At 3 o'clock this morning the shed was discovered to be on fire, and there be ing no water nearer than a half mile the shed and contents was soon a smoulder ing mass of ruins. As there had been no fire within a long distance of the shed, there can be but one solution of the origin of the fire, and that Is incendiarism. The loss of the two machines with the other property stored with them Is placed at 53500, with 51500 Insurance. Mr. Nesbltt had closed a successful season's run with ono of the machines, but the loss Is great er than his profits for the season. The af fair has caused considerable excitement here and a liberal reward Is offered for the arrest and conviction of the incen diary. Palouse has had a number of In cendiary fires recently, but this is the heaviest loss. MINING IN CARIBOO. Extensive Improvcmnts Planned at Harper's Camp. VICTORIA, B. a, Nov. 17. Senator Campbell, Intimately connected with ex tensive mining operations In the Cariboo country, left last night for San Francisco to consult with his company and place or ders for a hoist to handle 10,000 pounds and two water-skips with a capacity of 1000 gallons each to handle water in case of an emergency in the Miocene Com pany's three-compartment shaft at Har per's Camp, Horsefly, which is now 560 feet deep. It is far the deepest shaft ever sunk In Cariboo. In addition to car rying on the regular mining work of the company, Senator Campbell has arranged to put on Horsefly Lake a steamer, the plans of which were finished a week ago, and the boiler and engine are now or dered. A complete sawmill outfit will be installed also at Harper's Camp. In con nection with the steamboat company, stores will be started at various points. OREGON CITY ELECTION. Interest Centers in ' the Fight for Mayor. OREGON CITY, Nov. 17. The city elec tion Is only a little more than two weeks distant, and, while no convention has been held, the candidates who will en ter the race are well known. Interest centers In the fight for Mayor. Grant B. Dlmlck, the present Mayor, Is a candi date for re-election, and his most promi nent opponent is J. Eugene Hedges. The former is a Republican, while Hedges ls'a Democrat, but politics cuts little or no figure In an Oregon City municipal elec tion. Both men are lawyers and have ac tive supporters. Dlmlck was elected by a large majority last year, but Hedges is regarded as an exceptionally strong ma'h. The contest Is sure to be a warm one. The matter of granting further privi leges to the Portland City & Oregon Rail way Company may be a prominent fac tor. At the present time the validity of the company's franchise to operate freight cars on Main street Is being test ed in the Circuit Court, and there is a strong sentiment among the citi zens against passing any ordinance to give additional privileges to the railway. Oregon City's Mayor has considerable ap pointive power, as In him is vested the charter right to appoint a City Attorney, City Recorder, police force and Street Commissioners, subject to confirmation by the Council. He also names the Council committees. Three Councllmen retire In January, and their successors will be chosen at the coming election. The members whose terms expire are Bruce Zumwalt, First Ward; William Shekan, Second Ward; is. D. Story, Third Ward. John R. Humphreys, of the Bank of Oregon City, Is the leading candidate for Treasurer. At the last election Linn E. Jones was elected without opposition. He left the city last Spring, and since then Mr. Humphreys has transacted the busi ness of the office. His reputation In financial matters is well known. F. J. Myers, cashier of the Commercial Bank, Is also mentioned for the position. Phenomenal Memories. Prof. E. S. Holden In Harper's Magazine. Many of the greatest men have had phenomenal memories. Caesar knew the names of thousands of soldiers in his legions. A modern man of science often has a prodigious memory for special terminology. Professor Asa Gray assured me that he could at once recall the names of something like 25,000 plants; Professor Theodore Gill can do the same for fishes. Our memory for mere words Is itself much more extensive than is. generally admitted. The average well-to-do child "of 2 years of age has a vocabulary of some 500 words, and Its father may have the command of 20,000 more. The 10.000 verses of the "Rig Veda" have for 3000 years been accurately preserved In the memories of the Brah mins. Not one Brahmin alone, but thou sands, can today recite it word for word. Thousands of Mohammedans likewise know the Koran by heart, as all learned Chinese know their classic books. The chiefs of Polynesia can and do repeat hun dreds of thousands of words In their ge nealogies, taking days, and even weeks, for the recitation. Hundreds of pianists can play all day, and many days, by memory, and I have myself seen Von Bulow conduct Beetho ven's Fifth Symphony without a score. Chessplayers, have a visualizing memory, musicians have an auditive and a motor memory, while arithmetical prodigies may have any one of the three or a combina tion of all. AT THE HOTELS.

THOUGHTS ON 1985 FAIR BY ONE WHO WAS IN THE HEART OF THE WORK AT BUFFALO. Oregron Can Blaster Every One of the Conditions Which Were Against That Exposition. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. (Special corre spondence.) At the close of the Pan American Exposition people scattered to the four points of North and South Amer ica. The closing scene was Indeed a sad one. The exercises at the Temple of Music just before midnight will never be forgot ten by those present. When the"taps" In the tower, far up In the heavens, slowly died away with the lowering and extin guishing of the lights, the little band of Oregonlans stood on the esplanade and with clasped hands bade good-bye to the beautiful Illumination which had ever been so grand and Inspiring. As the Ore gonlans wended their way home, the con versation was principally on the many glorious results attained at the exposition. They were far beyond expectations. All day long for a week before the close we received the congratulations of our neigh bors and friends. No one seemed jeal ous, but all said, "You deserved It" How proud we were when Colonel Dosch was called before the Pan-American Board and given a medal for his part In prepar ing an exhibit which had proven one of the greatest attractions. Only two of these special medals were given one to Oregon and the 'other to New York. The board remarked, In presenting the medal to Mr. Dosch: "We have ever found the Oregon people courteous, kind and pa tient. Our relations with you have been all that could be wished." We who were associated with Mr. Dosch from Oregon can truthfully feay that the many successes attained at Buffalo were due in a great measure to his executive ability and his knowledge of how to place and arrange our exhibits to the best ad vantage. Oregonlans Hold a Reception. On Friday evening before the exposition closed, the Oregonlans held a reception, at which were present: Colonel and Mrs. Dosch, Miss Dosch, Miss Camllle Dosch, Mr. and Mrs. Burgard, Mr. and Mrs. Mot ter, Henry Blackman, A. W. Miller, George Carter, George Slocom, Byron Nicholas, Fred Mellls, A. H. Johnson, Mrs. Clara Parsons, Miss Agnes Lane, Mr. Finch, Mr. Fred Pfar, Mrs. Parrott Pond, Mr. Will Wright, Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Pague, Master Don Pague and Mrs. Edyth Tozler Weatherred. Quite a number of Buffalo people were also present, among whom was Mrs. Tifft, mother of A. P. Tlfft, of Portland, president of the Oregon Commission. During the evening the Oregon people at Buffalo presented Mr. Dosch with a solid gold pen arM penhold er as a token of the esteem In which they held him. In responding to the presenta tion speech Mr. Dosch highly compliment ed the earnestness with which each and all had worked. Oregon began packing her exhibits im mediately after the close of the exposition, and will soon have them installed at Charleston. Mr. Dosch will take his fam ily with him. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mot ter, Mr. Blackman and Mr. Carter will re turn to Oregon. A. W. Miller has been engaged to take charge of the "Washington marble exhibit at Charleston. George Slocom, A. H. Johnson, Fred Mellls and Mrs. Weatherred will be with Mr. Dosch. Mrs. Clara Parsons, who did such good work with the teachers and pulplls In showing the Oregon educational exhibit, will go to Charleston in connection with the general school display of the United States. Miss Agnes Lane and Byron Nich olas will each have a good position. Byron Nicholas Is now visiting at Richmond, Va., and Charlottevllle. His relatives there are relatives of Major William Hancock Clark and of the noted Captain Clark. If you think Portland can make a noise after the result' of an election, add 100 times to that and you might Imagine what It is at a New York election Arriving at the ferry dock about 8:30 last Tuesday evening, it beat anything I ever experi enced. New York is noisy enough at any time. The election results, however, seemed to meet with the approval of the masses. Glad Oregon Is His Home. The second day after my arrival In New York Dr. and Mrs. Fenton reached here from their European trip. They are very happy to get back to America, and more happy, they say, to realize that Oregon Is their home. The doctor said to me: "Do not ever think that Oregon Is be hind the times. We have nothing of which we need to be ashamed." On Thursday we all went to Boston. At Boston the Boston Press Club entertained us at din ner. My. visit to Boston was to consult with the secretary of the International League of Press Clubs relative to final arrangements for their trip to Oregon next July. At the dinner I presented the itinerary and told a few points of Interest In the Northwest, all of which greatly enthused the Boston editors. I am told the only difficulty Is too many wish to go. I am confident that this body of journal ists will be one of the best that ever went West. I have thought It would be a wise and practical thing to have these Journal ists take part in the laying of the corner stone of the Lewis and Clark Centennial, or, rather, the breaking of ground. Much Interest in 1005 Fair. Here, In New York and Boston, I find much interest being taken in our exposi tion. On Monday afternoon, before I left Buffalo, I was Invited to visit the largest school In Buffalo, where nearly 3000 schol ars attend. In the large assembly hall 500 of the most advanced pupils had gath ered with their teachers and the princi pal of the school, to listen to the story of Lewis and Clark's expedition to tne Northwest. On this day I was asked by the teachers If I would arrange for an excursion of Buffalo teachers for a trip West next Summer. So many people seem anxious to visit the Northwest after hav ing seen our exhibits at Buffalo. We have been told that our exhibit would have been considered a freak of nature if Wasti Ington and Idaho had not also had excel lent exhibits. I have been reading in The Oregonian of the Interest In the Lewis and Clark Centennial. Do not let a moment be lost In spreading the matter In the Northwest. Oregon cannot miss this opportunity. Do not be afraid of the proposition. Do not use Buffalo as an example from the finan cial standpoint. Too many conditions were against Buffalo, every one of which Oregon Is able to master. You have everything In your favor. Personally, at first, I was skeptical on the matter, but after six months In the heart of the work and doings of the Pan-American Exposi tion, there Is not one unfavorable condi tion for us. Do not send off and knport high salaried men. You have men In tne Northwest who have your every Interest at heart; men who will-not at all times have the almighty dollar in view. Now this Is an important factor. You will be besieged by exposition "followers." Con sider the matter well and have confidence in your Western people to handle It. Buf falo had too many Importations drawing big salaries. Look to your commercial and Industrial Interests, and not individ ual gain. E. T. W. Lost With All Hands. HALLFAX N. S. Nov. 17. The terrible gale that has been raging on the New foundland coast during the past three days has carried death and destruction In Its track. Shipping has suffered se verely as airesult of the storm, and many lives have been lost. A private dispatch which reached Louisburg, C. B., tonight states that the Norwegian steamer Ella, under charter to the Black Diamond Line Company, has been lost on the Newfound land coast In the vicinity of Belle Isle with all hands. The steamer left Mon treal Friday with a general cargo for St. Johns, N. F. The Ella was 901 tons register and was built at Sunderland in 1898. This was her last trip of the season on that route. She carried a crew of about 20 men. ADVERTISED. Unclaimed Letters Remaining in the PostofHce at Portland, Or.

Grayson Is Active in Urging This City as Meeting Place in September. The International Mining Congress is very likely to meet In Portland next Sep tember, according to Colonel John Gray son, one of the executive committeeman, who la at the Portland. He thinks that Portland can get the convention if her citizens desire It, as it will not meet in Butte, as had been decided, because Butte failed to carry out the promises given to the convention when it met in Boise, Idaho, last July. Colonel Grayson, being an Oregon mining man, desires very much to have the congress here, as he wants to show mlnlnir men what kind of ore Oregon Is producing. "Many of the delegates think Oregon is a country of wheat, fruit and livestock," said he, "and they don't realize that it is fast becoming the best ore-producing state in the Union. "I have today received a letter from the secretary of the organization at Carlisle, Pa., In which he says Portland stands a good show for the meeting in September. Wc met in July last, but have changed the time of year, as that Is the hottest month, and people do not enjoy traveling. September will be a very pleasant month, and, we will have mining men from all over the world. Over 400 gathered at Boise last Summer, but the number will without doubt be Increased next time, owing to the change In the time of meet ing." OPEN DP THE COLUMBIA. Inland Empire Shoald Demand Re moval of Obstructions. Ellensburg Localizer. It is becoming more apparent every year that a concerted effort should be made by the people of the Inland Empire to have the obstructions removed from the Columbia River. This mighty stream, that courses through the State of Wash ington on Its way to the Pacific Ocean, has innumerable possibilities for com merce. It could be navigated from tho British Columbia lino to the sea, If a few obstructions were overcome, and these are by no means engineering impossibilities. Boats are now running, and have been for years, on the "Upper Columbia above Priest Rapids, doing a freight and pas senger traffic. The Government has al ready made some desirable Improvements at Rock Island and Cabinet Rapids, In the upper course of 'the river, which has been an aid to navigation. The Celilo Rapids, at The Dalles, and Priest Rapids are at present the only seri ous barrier to navigation on the Upper Columbia In a long stretch of river, hun dreds of miles In extent, and this obstruc tion can be overcome by intelligent engi neering; and with the obstructions re moved from the lower river, we would have a waterway 500 miles or more In extent, penetrating a region of vast rich ness In agriculture and mineral resources, and connecting with the sea a people who have grievously felt for years the neces sity of cheaper transportation for their produce. It Is a thing hardly accountable that this magnificent waterway has been so long neglected by the Government, and left practicayy closed to navigation on account of only a very few obstructions found at Intervals along its course. The shippers of the vast empire con tiguous to this majestic river are not interested in making It navigable for deep-sea vessels, and money expended In the past by the Government for that pur pose is practically useless to the pro ducer. What is wanted is a river open -for river boats, thus affording an outlet for the products of the Inland Empire, and give such competition in transporta tion that will Inevitably compel the rail roads to reduce their rates throughout this vast region. Since Nature has so largely provided the way, every energy should be bent by the people toward Inducing Con gress to take the matter up and make the necessary appropriations. Accidents to Steeple-Climbers. Cromwell Ohllde In Leslie's Popular Monthly. Accidents? Sure! I've fallen 125 teet. A rope broke on me. And once a man I had as assistant tried some funny busi ness Instead of staying where I had told him, and he was killed like a shot. But there's no danger In high work if a man doesn't drink or smoke and always keeps his head clear. The main trouble I have when I'm up high Is In keeping my mind on what I'm doing. Sometimes I get to thinking of other things while working J along, ana suaaeniy x una 1 must pun myself together. "See here, old man, this won't do," I have to say to myself. If a climber drinks or smokes, though, some day something happens to him. Here's a queer accident, though, that I did have once. I was working on the Inside of a high chimney, bolting together sections of the lining, and I was pretty well near the top. I was on a ladder up against one side, and the ladder was so fixed that I could raise or lower it and myself as I wanted. Somehow I took hold of the wrong end of the rope, let the ono I ought to have held on to go. Quick as a shot that ladder and I dropped.

I had already fallen nearly 100 feet. A now and extra Inside lining began here, which made a kind of ledge all round, and the ladder had struck on the side of this. It fell across the chimney. Being much longer than the chimney was wide the upper part broken off short. But there was enough left for the broken end to fall on the ledge made by the top of the lining on the other aide. It rested there, but there wasn't an Inch to spare. Through all the three shocks I had managed to hold on. If they had all come in one shock I could never have held. But I Just managed to keep my grip and the rope. I tied this to the ladder as well as I could and let myself down. "Turn" nnd "Cue." Notes and Queries. ' As a rule a performer waits for his "turn" In the wings, having already been "called" from the dressing-room. The word Is almost exclusively In this sense used In the music-halls and on the va riety stage. On the stage proper tne stage of the drama the word "cue" is used. An actor waits at the wings for his "cue," which is the last word of ttto actor or actress speaking, which gives him ' his entrance, or which, supposing him the performer to be on the stage, indi cates to him that It is his turn to carry ! on the dialogue and the action of the play. J "Extra turn" almost Invariably means J that a new performer Is having his first ! public trial at that particular house. If he goes well he Is tolerably sure of securing an engagement.
