Nothing punctures tbe wind bag of vannt mg and boast a, to the population of a city as tho cool, cold, incisive and sometime! ci ind exposure of a vote. Recently the oity of Tacoma was subject to thia harsh ordeal, and while the real eatate population of that enterprising and go ahead city have fondly rolled the declaiation aa a sweet morsel under their tongue, that there were at least twenty thousand of them over there, living off of each other, their annual election prove, that their habit of exaggeration has permeated their atatementa aa to population aa well. A very exciting election was held on Monday I ist . which from the nature of the contest involved brought out tbe godly aud the ungodly the flood and the bed, the tbng and tbe saint in dire oppoaition to each other to such an extent that it is safe to aay, tbey robbed not only the cradle, but the grave to pile up votes, so that the city was gathered together as to its voting population in tbe ballot box at th cloae of the exciting euutast. The result waa that a.'JUO vote were polled, aud on the usnal basis (which in new countries ia excessive) of multiplying the voting population) by five, w have the sum total of 11,000 a the population of tbe much vaunted city of tbe terminus. In the light of tbe majority election of Ust Monday it ia safe to say the population of Tacoma doe, not exceed 10,000 people. That is a haudsomo numeral for ao young a city, and ought to put to blush our ow n alow progress. It may be some salve for their affliction to know that by the same token, their deadly and iuevrterate enemy, some twenty-five miles to tbe uorthwatd wboae name It is a desecration lo ptououuee, baa not over I ., "on beads to bless themselvea with. Aud further to agouize the liars snd boom era of Portland, let us record that the total population of Portland, East Portland. Al uiua aud Si MwoihI doea not exceed 5o,000 people, lUHtead of 70,000 fondly claimed by tho real eatate exaggerators. A Wire Water Witch. T he Milton Eagle tell, the following abuut the way wab r i, found by Messrs-. Watson ml Dean, who hare been experimenting on Eureka Flat: "Watson seated himself in a buggy with a steel wire rial grasped in his hands. On each end of this rod were two copper-wire handles, one for each h ud. and the rod it- sell was composed of various kiud, uf wire tw ist, d urotlud tbe mam piece. The shape of the rod waa somethiuu like the letter 'U" the two ends funning tbe handles aud be bow turning upward, Speeding alunu in the buggy, Mr. Watson held firmly to the haudlea of bl. rod uutil tho first four mile were passed over, when suddenly the rod began to turn, not in a straiuht direction. but diagonally wilh tbo rod in a twiated maimer. Tbe team waa directed iu obed ience tu Mr. Wutaou's directiou, aud varr soon the rod bent straight down and be atu- . ..: I 1.1 1.11 T until ins willingness lo guuruute, water at uu great depth beneath tho spot on which theV stood. Many birmu sn.ru el-,i...l .... some of which the rod refused to turn ' and un others it would quickly bend over. Mr. YVataou claims that II will not turn over Stag nant ur seeiiaeo water, hut nnlv .L. Ii.-. iindergrouud currents exiat. He states that J number of bis well, along the Northern I' i. Hie were discovered while riding on a p .Hsenger train at 30 to 40 miles per hour. Mr. Watnoii baa obtained $lt),U00 worth of cuutracts from promiuent farmers on the dat, among them latiug Messrs. Upton, Laiuan, Woodworlh, Moorehead, Henry Thompson, Welch, Unrdbtiry, Painter and other,. To many of them be ha, guaran teed 600 to 1000 gallons per day or uo y for bia work or expenses. He sent for his machinery plant aud work will oommenoe in a few weeks, and the efficiency of his di vining rod will soon be kuown, though it has proved au unfailing servant at mauy points along tbe Northeru route. Minnesota's New Law Regarding Ex ecutions. The new law pertaining to executions in Minnesota is u peculiar one. Under its pro. vi-Ions the prisoner i, to be kept in solitary coiifiuemeut and lo see no one but bis fam ily, bis lawyer and bi, spirtnal advisers. He is to be executed before aunrise and may invite three persons to be preaeut. The -In-nil' iuvilea six persons beside tbe surgeon. I'hit most unique feature of the law, how - ver, is the pruvisiou wbiob makes it a mis demeanor for any newspaper to print any thing more about the mailer thau the mere ntioiiucemeut . This is fur the purpo-e ( preventing the circumstanora aud sensation al it. of ex. cutiona usually printed. I here ia to be an execution in the northern part of tbe Main soon and it will be interest ing to see what course tbe papers will pur sue. 1 he same urovi-ion I, made in the recently enaclly New York law, but it has nut heeu tested. A uumber ot lawyer have expressed tbe opinion that tbe newspaper feature of tbe new law will not hold water. 11-reiofure the practice ha, been tolerated o file homestead claims and simulating set. tliug upon them by the merest pretense; and in due time acquire a patent from the U. S, land office "on general principle, " City residents bsve obtained many such titles luring the past, but it seems ihat the gov ernment haa put an end to auoh practice hereafter. By the receut act of Congress, settlers are compelhd to bona fide live upon tueir cisims, ami not to leave me premisea xcepl hy obtaining written permisfjun from tbe fj. H. register snd receiver st tbe land office where tin ir homeatead ia filed, which may la, extended fur a year if within the pur view ol certain denned causes.
