ACTION VERY SIGNIFICANT Constitution and Electoral System of the United States. Eulogized and Held Up as a Pattern for the Slavs. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug 6. The re publication' here today In the Novoe Vremya of an article -written In 1659 by Alexander Hertzen. the Russian author and political agitator. In -which "a. strong plea Is made for a Russo-American al liance, and In which the American and European systems of government are compared, most favorably to that of America, is not -without interest, and is considered significant, particularly in view of the general political situation and the fact that Russia is today upon the point of establishing a general assem bly and granting the country some sort Of a constitution.. The presence of the Russian plenipoten tiaries In the United States also adds sig nificance to the republication of the arti cle, as likewise does the Novoe Vremya's relation with the government. The Novoe Vremya Is fully aware that the relaunch ing today of Hertzen's Ideas Is acceptable to the government, and, In fact, the print ing of it may be called semi-official. Hertzen Died in Exile. Hertzen died In Paris, January 21, 1870, after many years of exile because of his advanced Ideas which were not acceptable to the Russian government. During his exile he published in London a newspaper of liberal tendencies, called Kolokol (The Bell), and In which he carried on a relent less propaganda for the constitutionalism of Russia. The circulation of Hertzen's words in Russia was prohibited until within the past few months, when the ban was removed. The opening paragraph of the article published by the Novoe "Vremya today is a strong and logical plea for an alliance between Russia and America, quoted by Hertzen from a Philadelphia newspaper printed In 18SS, and citing philosophical and' political reasons therefor. The Idea of a possible alliance is one of the prin cipal themes of the article, which, con tinuing, says that Russia should free her self from Old World prejudices and falla cies and turn to her great neighbor across the Pacific and learn a good lesson from, her political and commercial successes. No Prejudices ok Envies. "Russia, having reachnd the Pacific." says the article, "there stands between the two nations only the broad ocean, but naught of antiquated prejudices or envy. If Russia can free herself from the St. Petersburc traditions, her best and most natural ally Is the United States of America.' Hertzen notes a lack of sympathy on the part of other European nations for Russia, and refers to America's kindliness to that country. "Both countries overflow with strengtn, energy and the spirit o.f organization," continues the article, "both are without pasts, and both began their national lives by "breaking with tradi tions." Pattern for Russia. Hertzen commends America's handling of questions of state, declaring that American Institutions fulfill all the de mands of the democratic republic He eulogizes the American Constitution and the electoral system, saying that Russia Ehould study these carefully and follow many of the features thereof. He says that the European systems of govern ment mean war, misery and poverty, and asks why Russia follows Europe. The Novoe Vremya referring editorial ly to the article, says that it is worthy of the closest scrutiny. lutionists to the railway station amid a shower of stones. WORKMEN IN GREAT DISTRESS Strike at Putlloff Works Results in Hunger and Disease. SPECIAL CABLE. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 6. As a re sult of the strike at the Putlloff works, there is terrible destitution among the workmen, and hundreds of cases of actual .starvation have been reported. The peo ple are suffering with scurvy, and General Trepoft has been applied to for relief. A dispatch from Riga states that grave developments are expected, in the Naoheta district, -where the strike is spreading rap idly. Rioting is reported, and in several cases troops have been called upon to quell the disturbances. Sunday morning a man whose identity has not been learned, threw a dynamite "bomb In the office of the District Treas urer at Riga, severely wounding the Treasurer, two janitors and a porter. The man who -threw the bomb was himself so badly wounded that he was unable to make his escape, and was captured and lodged in prison. Great Force Faces Russians. LIDIAPUTZE, Manchuria, Aug. 6.

WALKING TO FAIR ON BET Santa Cruz Butcher Is Pushing Wheelbarrow Ahead of Him. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. . W. L. Bohm, a butcher of Santa Cruz, has reached Marysville on his way to the Portland Fair. He is walking and push ing a wheelbarrow on a wager. In order to win he must reach the fair city by October 1. To do this he must cover ten miles a day, which he will be able to do if he meets with no accident. It was not known that he had gone until today, when a letter received here told of his trip. The man with -whom Bohm made the wager hardly thought the other would take it up. SHORT CONTRACT MARRIAGES Former Washington Sheriff Is Sued by San Francisco Woman. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. (Special.) Raymond D. French, a mining man, ex-Sheriff at Seattle, is made defend ant in a peculiar suit begun by Mar garet B. Z. Powers. The woman asks the Superior Court to award her 5 10,603 damages because French persuaded her to enter into an Illegal marriage con tract, with five months as the limit of Its duration. In her complaint Mrs. Powers sets forth that she Is a widow 36 years of age. She declares that French knew the contract was illegal and that he pro posed it for the purpose of "debauching her and causing her to live with him as his wife, well knowing that she was a virtuous woman." It seems French has not been fully divorced from his first wife. Hot Weather at The Dalles. THE DALLES, Or.. Aug. 6. (Spe cial.) After two days with a slightly lowered temperature, the hot weather has again taken a new hold, and today has been one of intense heat, the thermometers registering from 9S to 102 degrees In different parts of town. S. Li. Brooks, of this city, who has kept the weather records for many years, reports that this is one of the hottest Summers ever known in this section, the Julys of 187G and 1S9S being the only ri vals of the past month. In those months there were 20, 17 and 15 consecutive days respectively In which the mercury ranged from SO degrees upward. But two cases of sunstroke have been reported thus far, although several farm ers near this city have lost horses on the road and In the harvest fields. Ask for Dredging on Gray's Harbor. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Aug. C (Spe cial.) The business men of the har bor towns suggested to the party of Government representatives that came hero to look over the needs of this port of entry the application immediately of the balance of $35,000 to the credit of this district for dredging. They were also asked to recommend an appropria tion of $130,000 for tho beginning of an Improvement which will give a depth of 25 feet of water and the widening .of the channel from 100 to 250 feet. , FACTORIES IN r EMBRYO, Shale and Fine Clay Beds for Brick Arc Found. The barrel staves and heading industry' was 'recently established at Houlton, a station on the Astoria and Coast Rail road, whence freight reaches the Nehalen Valley. The Western Cooperage Company, the largest producer of these commodities on the Pacific Coast, has a thoroughly up-to-date factory in operation, where staves and heading are sawn, kiln-dried and finished, ready to 'sot up into pack ages of different sizes. This stock is shipped to their various factories on the Coast and to other points. The company employs from 45. to 50 men In the factor, and the same number of men In the woods making stave bolts. This material is floated direct to their mill at' Houlton. The same company has three other fac tories on the Pacific Coast. Attention has been drawn to the clay banks at Estacada on the Oregon Water Power Company's electric line In Clacka mas County, and to the Important Indus try in bricks of various kinds, and In clay-working established there. At North Tamhin are found deposits of similarly good quality. The beds have been opened, as appears from the follow ing extract, but no factory has yet been established. The Yamhill Recorder says: The Western Clay works have begun shipping clay from this , place. There is probably 150 carloads lying at the switch ready for loading. The question of a seVer pipe factory being located here has been discussed for some time but nothing definite has been done. There is no doubt, if the proper effort was put forth, some one could be induced to lo cate and engage in the business as the hills around here would furnish an lnexhaust able supply of clay suitable for sewer pipe making." The shale brick is more costly because it is said to be more durable than the ordinary clay brick. So far such brick has been Imported from the East and sells in Portland at from $18 to $20 a thousand. Shale banks have been discovered in the vicinity of Portland by C. B. May hugh, an expert brlckmaker of Columbus, O., who expresses himself as much sur prised that the brlckmakers of this state have not utilized the necessary composi tion In the manufacture of their bricks. The banks in questions are large and are located between here and Dallas. Brick made of shale Is much harder than that of ordinary yellow clay, and will stand much greater pressure- For paving brick it is indispensable, where the ordinary .clay brick will not wear at all for this use. Common building brick, the dry pressed variety, drain tile, sewer pipe, roofing tile and cemetery posts are all manufactured from shale by Eastern firms and the results are most satisfactory. Mr. Mayhugh has a sample of brick made of the Oregon shale by his firm in Colum bus, and It is unusually fine grained, smooth, and of a beautiful color. Enamel of any color Is often used over such brick. Here then is yet another Oregon pppor tunlty needing development. Union Coun ty pine trees afford the raw material for pine needle mattresses. Pressed and shredded and cleaned, the healthful smell of the pine balsam adheres to the prod uct. There is a large and growing de mand for pine needle mattresses. They ought to be manufactured In Oregon, in stead of shipping the material away to be made up and then brought back to this state. How to Dose af Dog. Outing. A dso of cafltor oil is as disagreeable to the ailing dog as to the ailing hu man being. He kicks against it, and does right, when he is grabbed by the back of the neck, and with his jaws yanked apart with a towel awaits the nasty dose. This is poured down his neck on the outside. It is usually followed by a few more doses, all of which go the same way which Is the wrong .way.

Or, Phone to the Store Private Exchange 12 "Soul Stuff" A GREAT BUSINESS TEACHER, a natural leader in the business world, whose name is familiar in business circles from the St. Lawrence to the scenic Columbia, strolled thro' the store the other day. He. dropped in on the writer for a moment, and the busy typewriter stopped clicking. We, turned the card reading "BuS7xCut Con versations Short' ' to the wall for the nonce, and li5iac1L Said he: "Do you know, I like to tour thro this store, to stop and gaze at the merchandise. IT'S SO GOOD, and the stocks are so immense. Why, we haven't & store in Chicago any better, and the advertising is SO TRUE. Why, IT'S SOUL STUFF; no wonder such a store i3 suc cessful; it is indeed "A DIFFERENT STORE." We like to merit such praise from one whose very profession it is to criticize. And we believe that he voiced a public sentiment. Years ago our merchant competitors were say ing that "this store DEFIED THE LAWS of TRADE, and misfortune was sure to follow." Why? Because it was the first Portland store to insist on ONE PRICE TO ALL. Because it refused to sell merchandise for anything" but what it was. Because it provided a safeguard for mistakes by the principle of return of unsatisfactory goods. BUT It defied only the UNFORTUNATE PRAC TICES of TRADE. It made NEW LAWS which today govern nearly the whole commercial world, tho' the short sighted prophets -of but a few short years ago declared they would "result in ruin and disaster." It's pleasant to take a retrospective occasionally, to best set the course for the FUTURE. No matter how low the prices we quote, bear in mind eternally that not a package leaves the store without the reputation of the house enclosed and the fastening of SATISFACTION attached. Be sure the "DIFFERENT STORE" is on your shopping list today.

"UP-A-TREE" LIFE. Asserted to Bo a Sure Cure for Consumption. Detroit (Mich.) Tribune. j Advocates of a state hospital for con sumptives, should they finally succeed In getting one from a future Legislature, may derive a hint by studying the record of Orln Steinberger, of Urbana, O., who, after traveling In Mexico, Arizona and other countries, seeking climatic rescue from Impending doom, was faced by his doctors with the warning of certain death In a few months. He suggested the woods, but they answered that It was no use that he was a "goner." Steinberger did take to. the woods notwithstanding, and 13 there this Summer for the third season. Sixty feet climbed the consumptive Into the boughs of a spreading oak and there fixed his habitation. He was barely able at the first climb to drag his consump tion up to the branches; but what was left of his lungs expanded under the ex ercise and he felt no worse. Then, 60 feet above ground, on the firm limbs of the oak, he constructed a house with apartments bedroom, kitchen and ar tist's studio, and from his giddy elevation looks down on and laughs at consump tion and- the doctors groveling beneath. He avers that tree life has cured him and that he la as sound in health as any person alive. "To a man up a tree" It looks as though the Michigan hospital for consumptives should be located not "under the oaks at Jackson," but In the oak tops either at Jackson or .some other favorable place, and let the night owls In the swaying branches shriek songs of death, If they will, for the auguries were false that decreed Stelnberger's demise. It is well to remember also that while In a domestic state no creature Is mora prone to tuberculosis than the monkey, there Is no record that our progenitors suffered from this disease while gambol ing In the tree top3 and swinging by their tails In the forests of the "dark con tinent." Let the matter be taken up by the State Board of Health. Admiral Rojeetvensky, the Russian Ad miral, has always, been considered a pes simist. In response to an English girl's request for an autograph, he wrote: "Llfo is stupid. A little gayety, a little weari ness, and then good night."
