townslnps could R-curii mirveys by de

posuors received .certiliiatoH,' which
cvuld bn used as money in payment of
their lands in the townships for survey
of which thn deposits were made. In
1879 an act was passed making certili
cates of deposit negotiable, and allow
ing them to he used Ly anyliody in any
land district. Then a Loom arose in
surveying contracts. Huge rings were
organized, 'with headquarters in several
surveying djutricts. The general liead
center was located first in San Fran
cisco, hut afterward removed to Den
ver, Colorado. Deposits sprang from
a nominal amount to 82,000,000. l'.y
collusion, surveying contracts wore
always let to rings, and at the highest
rate. Fictitious application for sur
veys would bo presented, and money to
make the required deposit was fur
nished by the ring brokers, and profits
on the contracts, which were usually
about 50 per cent, of the contract
price, were shared among the operators.
Commissioner Sparks, with the ap
proval of Secretary Lamar, has issued
orders to nil surveyors general and reg

One of (ho most curious traits about
Buckland was hi com pit tn indiir.Venee.
to tho disgusting side of his experi
ments in the uses of animal life. Thus,
when tho panther in the Surrey Zoo
logical Curdens died, h insisted on
having it disinterred, that he might
cook a panther chop and taste it, w.'iich
he did, with the dry remark that "it
was not very j-ood." And he wMou
lost on opportunity of trying c niw
food, however disgusting some might
have thought it. A f; lend who found
him eating a piece of dead kelt (salmon)
at the time of year when salmon are
unlit to be eaten, asked him lio-v he
could taste inylhing so abominably
nasty; to which he replied: "It is nasty
enough, but how can I say so unless I
have tried it?" Again and again he
records how much the worse ho felt for
some of these experiments; how the
lump-fish soup, which was "something
like turtle," made him "rather seedy"
the next day; how the horse flesh ban
quet resulted in a fit of bad digestion;
how he boiled elephant trunk for many
days without producing any particular
result on tho hardness of tho texture;
and so forth. With ono exception,
that of an oyster the size of a cheese
plate, he was no more discouraged from
making experiments on his own stom
ach by any sense of disgjst than he
was discouraged by his disiike of cold
and physical illness from venturing
into freezing water in search of salmon
eggs a pursuit which seems to have
cost him his life. London Spectator.
Bridget Gallagher, reported in vari
ous papers as insane, wd who was con
fined in the asylum in Montana, has
been liberated and is now in this city.
She does not look or act like a woman
bereft of her senses, and since her re
turn to Portland talks freely of the
Montana a Hair, which she says was all
a put up job, and that liefore she gets
through she intends making it very
warm for tho persons who had a hand
in it. Those who know Mrs. Gallagher
are cf the opinion that she will keep
her word. She says she is not insane,
never was, and has brains to loan some
of her persecutors. Standard.
The Prime Warden of the Fishmor
q;ers' Company, London, told the So:io
ty of Arts in a recent address that the
daily supply received at r.illinsgate,
the great London li-b in irk"t, amount
ed to 500 tons. A ton of fish is eoual
to tho weight of 2H average sheep, so
that 500 tons equals a consumption of
14,000 sherp.

A Boston man who was stopping for
a few days in a Wisconsin villajje, was
waited upon one evsming by an indi
vidual who explained that he lived on
a farm two or three miles away, and
had a favor to ask. When told to state
his case, he said:
"There's going to be a Rpelling rchool
over here about three miles, and if you
will take my gal Mary over there and
bring her back I'll have the old woman
pray for you for the next tif ieen years."
"15ut I don't know Mary." .
' "That's all right she won't kick.""
"But I'm married."
"No one hero knows it."
"Yes, but you must have some object
in viow," continued tho P.ostonian.
"Well, of course I have, I've bon
bound over to tho circuit court on
charge of stealing $2,000 from the
county. List week I had a man from
Now York out to the farm to dinner.
Day beforo yesterday I had a chap
from Philadelphia in my church pew.
Now if I can only get a Bostonian to
play sweet on my best looking gal for
a couple of hours, yon can't find a jury
in this country that will decide that I
ever stole a cent of the county money,

Kindly, but Firimy.
A merchant who had repeatedly
dunned a man, sent lum a bill of the
amount due. In addition to the neces
sary rule and figure work, tho merchant
added the following:
"I am becoming tired of tho 'indif
ference with which you treat this mat
ter, and I desire to hear from this bill
at once,"
Ssveral days afterward thn merchant
received the following, written on a
postal card:
"Accept my thanks for the bill which
you were kind enough to send. I have
never tronbled you aUut the matter.
When I owe a man it in my disposition
to treat him kindly but firmly. Well,
whenever you haven't anything else to
do, send nie ano'her bill."
The Pull Mull Ga.etto has been ex
posing the social vices of thn English,
capital in very plain language, and
great excitement has been created in
aristocratic circles. If tho exposure
of these social sore spots will havo the
cU'ect to work a reformation, the Ga
ze'.te should merit tho approbation of
tho better portion of society; but Lon
don is not the only capital where, if
sunlight was let to shino upon tho hid
den acts of leaders of society, Rome
very dark and forbidden scenes would
lie opened to the public gaze, and the
Gazette is not tho only newspaper
which has exposed to view these sowers
of society, Tho reputation of tho
English journal heretofore make's the
fact more noticeable, as, generally
speaking, scandal-mongers have been
confined to the lowest class of public
prints. If thn press of this or any
other country should consider it their
duty to exhibit the skeletons hidden in
social closets, the readers would be
regaled daily with a very filthy diet.
One-seventh part of thn land sorvice
of the earth and one-twenty-cighth
part of its whole area constitute the
dominion of thn Czar of all the Rus
sia. More than 100,000,000 of peo
pie call him father and are under his
absolute government. In Russii a
child is born every eight seconds
throughout the year, and a death oc
curs every eleven seconds At the
present rale of increase tho population
will double in about sixty years. But
Russia is very far behind most civilized
nations in the care of children and in
the preservation of life. . Statistics
show that GO per cent, of all the chil
dren dio under the age of 5 years. Tho
average duration of life in Russia is
only 20 years, which is much below the
average in tho western countries of
Europe and in the United States.
When the Jloulb railway bill, mak

In future numbers of tho Advertiser
we shall tell our'readers of the wealth
of that country developed and unde
veloped. We shall tell of mighty for
ests, that have not felt the woodman's
ax; of grain fields that the. world can
not excel; fisheries, mineSj hospitable
people, etc., etc. We have given some
attention to the labor question, and
will publUh some facts concerning the
same, but here will say briefly that the
Chinese have supplemented the Ameri
can in all places where unskilled labor
is employed. We' have also had an
excellent opportunity to note the work
ings of the license laws of Oregon and
the territories and compar the same
with prohibition (?) in our Own State.
Twice we have traversed the Sta'.e of
Oregon from north to south and east
to west. Wherever wo went it was
practically a "circus day," the people
coming in great numbers to meet us.
As we traversed nearly all the thickly
nettled patts of the State, v.e probably
saw onehalf of its population. We
spent a full week there, and during
that time did not eve a drunken Ore
fjonittn. Should any of our readers doubt our
statement, will they be kind enough to
call at this ollice and we will give them
the names of several prohibition editors
who were of tho party, and ask that a
copy of this paper be sent them with a
request that they refuto misstatements,
if any, stating where such drunkenness
did occur. On our return homo on
Saturday night we witnessed more
drunks pit off at Cedar Rapids in
"prohibition Iowa" than we saw among
the residents of Nebraska, Wyoming
Territory, Idaho Territory, Oregon and
Washington Territory during our three
weeks' stay there. Our opinion as to
the causes of this will appear in future'
numWs of tho Advertiser. Lyons
(Iowa) Advertiser, June 30th. .
The question of branding cattle i
being seriously considered by stockmen.
A hide which has been branded is
worth from a dollar to a dollar and a
half less than a clear one; and in a
band of 30,000 cattle this means a lost
of at least $ k,O00. Under our system
of ranges ineffaceable and clearly dis
tinctive marks of some kind are abso
lutely necessary, and the question isr
what can be used as a substitute for
the burning iron? A chemist has dis
covered a compound which will tunv
the hair of dark-colored cattle perma
nently white wherever it is applied,
without injury to the kin whatever.
This makes a sufficiently distinct brand
for dark cattle, but tho prolem of turn
ing the hair of white cattlo to a darker'
hue remains yet unsolved.
A great deal of ingenuity has lieem
displayed by newspaper publisheis in
endeavoring to create a demand for
their publications. The most original
plan that has fallen under our notice i
embodied in the following novel propo
sition made by the Evening Telegram,
a one cent afternoon paper published
in Cincinnati: "To any regular suli-
scriber of the Evening Telegram whey
is disabled by any accident, or to any
bona fide purchaser having a copy of
the current issue of the Evening Tele-
gram upon his or her person at tho
time of such accident, the Evening Tel
egram will pay, upon proper proof, $10
a week during such disability, not ex
ceeding live weeks, and hhould such ac
cident renult in death withi one week
we will gbe to the heirs er next of kin
two hundred dollars,"
The Klines of Corvallis who attacked'
Ed Rosenthal, tho young suicide, were
arrested for assault and battery,
thn daughter lieiug fined $15
and costs and L. G. Kline, who
pleaded guilty, $50 and costs. Mrv
Kline was not arrested at the time on'
account of sickness. On Monday L'
G. Kline, Mrs. Kline, Paulino Kline'
and Moseg Klin were placed under'
500 bonds each on the charge of riot.
A child was born in Napa county,
Cal.j which weighed but two pounds.
It is a lioy, perfectly formed nil or-

His total length was
not over eleven inchew.
