Claimed. --.The following Is from an ex
change and Is but one of several items we
have seen on the same subject : "It U
claimed by good leual authority that the
act creating the office of County Recorder
in Linn, Marlon. Washington, Yamhill,
Clackamas, Clatsop, t'matllla and I'nlon
counties is unconstitutional. This may lead
to serious complication as those offices
have been tilled by election In the various
counties named." Theie i probably noth
ing in these claims, j nc statute on the
subject is plain. nd we doubt if good legal
sumortty say. tnc act is unconstitutional.

chants Insurance Company of this city, (a
doing a fine utnmer nulncss. It field Is the
Northwest, the company being represented
In every place of any Importance In Ore

splendid company to insure with because
it la not only safe and reliable, but is a borne
institution, snd the premium paid to it U
circulated at home.

Corvalti in Prof.
Iicttc vtcm of
ytem of memory culture
Prof. G. & Fellows, of the High school
at Washington, has just exposed the Prsv
feasor ss a fraud, not the system but the
Professor. The fraud lie in the fact that
the "Prof." claims that he originated the
system, wherww it transpire that the rules
he lays down were in vogue In the days of
Arlstottle, and that the same system wss
published and taught thirty-five vears ago
by others In the I nlted States.
Ta i ed to St ici de, A stranger who gave
his name ss Frank Willis, of California, at.
tempted to com mitt suicide last night st
Salem by jumping off the platform Into
the miilpond near the water works, but
either tbe shallowness or the coldness of
the water induced him to change his mind,
for he waded out himself amfVras taken
charge of by parties who saw the deed, and
who turned him over to an officer. Willi
said he was a miller by trade, and Is from
Cs.lfornla. -
Mill Citv. -According to an exchang e
the following Is the present situation of af -fairs
at Mill City : "Mill City, s town
lately laid out at the end of the O. P. t ail
road, on the Santlam, is deatcd. Every
one has moved, away except the ranchers.
The sawmill ha. closed down, as no one Is
there to buy lumber. I E Sorbon has box
ed up his saloon, as the patrons are all
gone. The postmaster has refused to
qualify and has gone back to Stayton. The
place will remain a town site, and Mng
an eligible situation, will some day sprout
up again."
Campaign Hat. -This, matter of a
campaign hat is causing plenty of trouble.
In Astoria hc matter was completely
mixed up. It finally was decided that the
Cleveland hat is a high cream colored hat,
while tbe Harrison hat Is light gray, and
that the band doesn't make any difference
A Warkixu. He came up street with a
gleam In his eye, add his red bandana hung
limp In his hand. We'll ineet bim again In
the sweet by and by, for he flew from this
earth to a'fairer land. Twit sudden the
shock, yet the grievance was great And
0 vanished from earth like the morning
devr. The words that he spoke sealed for
ever his fate. We clubbed him to death
for saying, "Is It hot enough for you ?"
Was Loaded. Miss Rosle Hllteroand.a
waiter girl on the N. P. transfer boat at
Kslama, took an overdose of laudanum
and was brought to the city, where Dr.
Wheeler attended her. Her sister thinks
It was taken in sport (?) and that she didn't
know ltr power. The doctor thinks Miss
Rosie will recover ami know more in the
future after last night's experience. Tele
gram.
On Top, Gradually Seattle is getting
away with Portland, and It is only a ques
tion when the latter place will be a way
station on the road to the former. The
latest evidence of this fact since the fire
men's tournaments ix the hiring of Mr.
Levison, of the Oregonian, by the leading
Seattle paper.
8c io. A branch of the Narrow Gauge
R- R. is to be built to Scio, a distance of a
mite and a half, the citizens agreeing to do
part of the work. It will be n great con
venience to that city and would be a greater
one if the Narrow Gauge were also run
into Albany, as it ought to be.
We Shake We have received No. r

head of a croquet mallet striking him in

On board a Western train the other dsy
1 held in my bosom for over seventyfive
miles the elbow of s Isrge man whose
name I do not know. He wa not s rail
road hog or I would have resented It. I Ic
was built wide and he couldn't help it, so
I forgave him.
1 1 e had a large, gentle, kindly eye, and
when he desired to spit he went to the car
doorxpened It, and decorated the entire out
side of the train, forgetting that our speed
would help to give scope to his remarks.
Naturally ,ss he sat there by my alde.hold
ing on tightly to his ticket and evidently
afraid that the conductor wou'd forget to
come and get It, I began to figure out in my
mind what might be his business. He had
OOttndcd one thumb so that tbe ns.it &
1 his might happen to a shoemaker, a car-
pentert blacksmith.o. almost any one else
So It didn't help me out much, though it
looked tome as though It might have been
done by trying to drive a fence nail through
a leather hinge with the back of Sn ss, snd
nobody but a farmer would try to do that
Following up the ciew.I discovered that
he had milk on his (foots, snd then I knew
I was right. The man wlto milks before
daylight In a dark barn when the thermom
cter fs 28 below zcro,and who hits his boot
by reason" of the uncertain light and the
prudishness of the cow. Is s marked man.
He cannot conceal the fact that he 1 a
farmer unless he removes this badge. So I
started out on the theory, snd remarked
that this would pass for a pretty hard win
ter on slock.
The thought was not original with me.
for I have hesrd it expressed by others
either In this country or Europe. He said
It would.
"My cattle has gone through a mowful
o hay sence October and eleven ton o
brand. Hav don't seem to have the eood-
to it that It bed last year,and with their
new process grls. mills they jerk all the
juice out o" brand, so'a you might a well
feed cows whhescelslor and upholster your
horse with hemlock bark ss to buy brand."
"Well, why do you run so much to stock ?
Why don't you try diversified farming and
rotation of crops ?
-Wctl.prob'ly you got that idee in the pa
pers. A man that esrn big wages writing
Farm Hints' for agricultural papers can
make more money with a soft leadpencll
and two or three season-cracked idee like
that'n I can rarrylngof em out on the farm.
We used to have a fellow in the drug store
tn our town that wrote such good pieces for
the Rural I 'rrmtourr, and made up such a
good condition powder out of his own head
that two years ago we asked him to write
a ncsaav lor the annual meetimr of the
Buckwheat Trust,and to use his own judg
ment about choice of subject. And what
do you s'pose he had selected for a n-av
that took the whole forenoon to read ?'
"What ubjcct,you mean ?"
Yea."
-Give It up P
u Welt, he'd wrote out that whole blames!
Intellectual wad on the subject of 'The In
humanity of Dehorning Hydraulic Rams.
How's that r
"That's pretty fair.'
-Well, farmi is like runnln' a paper in
regard to some things. Every feller in the
world will take and turn in and tell you how
to do it,even If he don't know a blame thing
about If. There sin't a man in the United
States to-day that don't secretly think he
could run miry one if his other business
busted on him, whether he knows the dif
ference between a new milch cow and a
horse hay take or not. We had one of these
embroidered ntghtehtrt farmers come from
town better' n three years ago. Been a
toiiet-soap man and done well, and so he
cameut and bought a farm that had noth
ing to it but a faucy house. and barn, a tot
of medder in the front y ard.und s Southern
aspect. The farm was no good. You
couldn't raise a disturbance on It. Well,
what does he do ? Goes and gits a passle of
slim-talled yellcr cows from New Jersey
and alms to handle cream and diversified
farming. Last year the cuss rnwht a load of
cream over and tried to sell it at the new
crematory while the funeral and holiercost
was goin' on. I may be a sort of a chump
my self, but I read my paper snd don't get
left like that."
"What are the prospects for farmers in
your state .',r ,
"Well they are pore. Never was so pore,
in fact.sencc I've hen there. Folks wonder
why boys leaves the farm. My boys left so
ss to get protected, they said, and so they
went Into a clothing store, one of 'em, and
one went into hardware, and one is talkin'
protection in the Legislature this winter.
They said that farm In' wasgettin' to be like
fishin' and huntln', welt enough for a man
that has means and leisure, but they
couldn't make a Hvln' at It, they said. An
other boy Is in a drug store, and the man
that hires him says he is a royal feller.
"Kind of a castor royal fe'ler," I cried
with a shriek of laughter.
He waited until 1 had laughed all I want
ed to, am! then he said :
"I've always hollered for high tariff in
order to byst the public debt, but now that
we've got the National debt coopered I
wish they'd take a little hack at mine. I've
put in fifty years farmin'. I never drank
licker in any form. I've worked from ten
to eighteen hours a day ; been economical
in cloxs and neyer went to a show more'n
a dozen times in my life ; raised a family
and learned upwards of two hundred calves
to drink out of a tin pail -without blowing
their vittles up my sleeve. My wife work
ed alongside o' me sewin new seats on the
boys' pants,skimmin' milkmd even helpin
me load hay. For forty years we toiled"
along together and hardly got time to look
into eachther's faces or dared to stop and
get acquainted with each other. Then her
health failed. Ketched cold in the spring
house, prob'ly skimmln' milk, and washin'
pans,and scaldin' pails, and spankin' butter.
Anyhow she took In a long breath one day
while the doctor and me was watching,
her, and she says to me, 'Henry,' says she,
I've got a chance to rest,' and she puts one
tired, worn-out hand on top of the other
tired, wore-out hand, and I knew she'd
gone where they dont work all day and do
chores all night.
Children Cry for
"I took time to kiss her then. I'd been
too busy for a good white previous to that,
and then I called in the boys. After the
funeral It wss to much for them to stay
around and est the kind of cook in' we had
A ..a. S ii . . a . a a
10 put up wun, hno nonouy spoke up
around the house as we used to. The boys
quit whistlin' around the hat n, and talked
kind of low to themselves about soln' to
t?wn and gettfn' a job.
They re all gone now, and tbe snow Is
four feet deep up there on mother's grave in
the old berryln'-ground."
Mat m.. M A aaa - A
jnen not h ot us looked out of the car
window quite a long while without saying
anything.
"I don t blame the boys for going Into
something else long's other things pays bet
ter ; but I sayand I say what I know
that the man who holds the prosperity of
this country in his hands, the man that ac
tually makes the money for other people to
spend, the .nan that eats three good, simple,
square meals a day and goes to bed at 9
o'clock so that future generations with good
blood and cool brains can go from his farm
to the Senate and Congress and the White
Mouse -he is the man that gets left at last
to run his farm, with nobody to help him
but a hired man and a high protective tar
iff. The farms in our State is mortgaged
for over $70O,oooxxx Ten of our West
ern States -I see by the the papers has
got about three billion and a half mortgages
on their farms, and that don't count the
chaitei mortgages tiled with the town clerks
on farm machinery, stock, waggins, and
even crops, by gosh ! thst ain't two inches
high under the snow. Thai's what the
prospect Is for farms now. The Govern
ment Is rich, but the men that made it, the
men that fought perarie fires and perarie
wolves and injlns and potato-bugs and bliz
zards, and has paid the war debt and pen
sions and everything else and hollered for
the Union and the Republican party and
high tariff and anything else that they was
told to, Is left high and dry this cold winter
with a mortgage of seven billion and a half
on the farms they have earned and saved a
thousand times over.
Q" Yes; but look at the glory of sending
rom the farm the future President, the
uture.Senstor, sud the future member of
Congress."
That looks well on paper ; but what dors
it really amount to? soon a a farmer boy
gits in a place like that he forgets the soil
that produced and holds his head as high ss
s hollyhock. He belters for protection to
everybody but the farmer, and while he
sails round in a highly -tighty room with a
fire In it night snd day, his father on the
farm has to kindle his own fire in the morn-
g with elm slivers, and he has to wear
his son's lawn-tennis suit next to him or
freexe to death, and he has to milk in and
old gray shawl thst has held that member
of Congress since he was a baby, by gorry '.
and the old lady has to sojourn through the
winter n the flannel that Silas wor at the
rigKattcr before he went to Congress.

family, residing opposite Mr. Thomas
Monteith's residence on Ferry street, dis
covered a man trying to get Into the house.

Monteith, who rushed from their houses ss
the men passed along Ferry street towards
the citv. Watt outran the man and or
dered him t stop, near Mr. Young's resi
dence. The fellow drew a knife and
threatened t8 use it; but a revolver In the
hands of Watt, and a pitchfork in the hands
of Mr. Shane, who arrived on the scene

became belligerent with his knife, but
Watt's revo'ver brought him to time, and
he was finnallv landed in the calibooae.
The man is oi the tramp appearance, about
thirtv-hve vears of age and is evidently
tough customer. Considerable credit is
due Mr. Monteith for capturing the rascal,
though nothing very serious can probably
be done to him.
No one making a complaint the man, who
refused to give his name, nas discharged

Fight With a Buck. We are in re
ceipt of a note from the Summit giving an
account of a fight with a buck. Last Fri
day, T. Lytic, Jf. O. Davis and A. I Lunar
met a three-point buck tn the lane oppo
site the Wrenu school house. They threw
rocks at the animal and Davis ran after it
afoot, caught up with it and began stabbing
It with his pocket knife. The buck turned
to fight, but Davis caught his horns snd
called for help. Hamar came up and be
tween the two they killed him. Leader.
The Drummer's Latest. He walks
into the store, and during the conversation
casually remarks, "Well, I think it is a put
up job." You look curious and say,
"what." 1 le has you then, and with a Col
orado canyon smile remarks, "wall paper."
He reached Albany a few day ago and left
thti as a relic. If ft were not for the festive
drummer life would be as dry as a street
bummer. While on the subject, when a
confiding friend remarks that it is warm or
hot the ppper thing to say is "rats.
A Funny World.- -The following taken
from a republican exchange, simply
shows what a funny world this is. "Bob
Ingersoll, the Infidel, seemed the favorite

Chicken Pie. A very enjoyable chick
en pie and ice cream lawn social was held
at the M. E. parsonage last Friday. Bet
ter chichen pie was never eaten by an
editor or Methodist minister on a circuit,
and the ice cream was just the opposite to
the sociability, one was cold and the othtr
warm. The attendance was good and the
receipts flattering.
