DIDN'T WEAK A SWALLOW-TAIL
What the Governor of Orecrou Said to
the Governor of lowu.
Though Oregon's executive aUndabigh on
hi dignity when it comes to receiving the
president of the United State, yet there are
time when be pride himself on "being
plaiu mau." In 1887 he atteuded the cen
tennial of the adoption of the constitution at
Philadelphia. It ended with a banquet at
which COO cover wore laid.
Oregon' goveruor wa invited to attend,
and wa deliberating whether to go wheu he
met Jubu A. Kasaon, of Iowj.
'Kasson," ho laid, "Is every man who
alteods the banquet expected to wear t
swallow-tail coat?"
"Most assuredly, Governor."
"Then I don't think I will go. I have not
woru a swallow-tail for about thirty years,
and I will ueiibur buy nor borrow one for
tonight."
"Ob, but yon must com," naid Kasson
Governor Penuoyer agreed to attend if
Goveruor Larrahre, of Iowa, another "plain
man," would go; so Oregon' executive and
Kasson went to the Iowa goveruor't head
quarter to oak him whst h intended to do.
"Governor Larrabee, are you going to the
banquet tonight?" asked Governor Penuoyer
wheu the room was reached.
"I am, sir."
"Will yon wear a swallow-tail coat?"
"Not much."
"Then we go together."
Governor Pennoyerand Governor Larrabee
were assigned to teal near each other.
When the feast was at ita height and cham
pagne wa sibling, and waiters wearmg
claw-hauiuier coat were darting here and
there with savory dishes, the governor of
Oregou cast his eye over the assembly of
diners, everyone of whom wai In evening
dress, sud turning to his friend from Iowa,
solemnly remarked: "Governor, we are the
only nun in the room who can be distin
guished fiom the waiters."
Governor Pennoyor' last appearance in a
swallow tail coat wa iu 1855, when be was
teaching school in Poitluud. He wore it
wheu he atteuilid church ou his first Suuday
iu the city, and wus so abashed at tho wide
watb ho wus cutting iu the backwood town
of the early days that he took the first op
portunity to present the coat to a farmer
who lived near town.
The Country .Safe.
From the St. Louis Republic.
Now that there I to bo no war with Italy
it come ont In the New York Tribnne that
the big 110-ton gum, with which the Italian
armored chip are armed, are mora dangor
out to those who fire them than to thoso they
are fired at, Naval olBoers, It I laid, "are
agreed that they art a monstrous abortiou "
Tbey tro laid to Lave a fashion of becoming
disabled after the third round it fired. The
shock and reooil damages the ship
that carry them, aud numerous serious
accideutt have resulted from firing tbem
with reduced charge. Thi make it more
than ever apparent that is long a we behave
ourselret we have no occasion to squander
countless millions on coast defence. A for
eign fleet couldn't maintain itself long on
our coast for lack of coal, and they wouldn't
dare shoot off their big gun at long range
and high elevation.
Th new ceniiaf shows that mora than
ninety-six per cent of the Inhabitants of the
United States live in the country that is
drained to the Atlantic ocean; that more than
oue-balf of the population live in th region
draiufd by the gulf of Mcxloo, and that
nearly forty-four per cent of the entire popu
lation of the oouutry are congregated in the
drainage area of tht Mississippi river; that
only four-tenths of out per oent livein the
great basin and three-fourths of trn per cent
on the PaolBo coast. It shows further that
tht proportion living within the region
drained to tbt Atluntla it steadily diminish
ing, while of thi region th part drained to
the Gall of Mexico It becoming relatively
more populous, as it tbt case in a still more
marked degree In tht great basin and the
region drained to the Pacific. About teven
per oent of the population dwell in the di
vision known at tht New England coast,
tlgbteen per oent in the Middle Atlantic
ooast division, 11 per cent on 'he Great
Lakes division, and about 3 per oent on
the Pacifio slope.
Pltindealer, May 2d: Loat Thursday
venlng some tramps discovered man
hanging in a barn belonging to E. G. Young
k Co., about three mile from Oakland.
Tbey immediately made known their dis
covery and Justice Preble of thi city wss
telegraphed for to bold an inquest. He re
paired to the went of the tragedy Friday
morniug and impaneled a jury. Tbt physi
cians present testified that the man had been
dead at least four days, and that be came to
his death by strangulation. Tbert were
three promissory notet aggregating $525
payable to Charles Jscobsen, Knmsen, Iowa,
found on the form, together with $2.75 in
silver. There was nothing to indicate any
oauae of death except suicide, and th ver
dict of the jury was rendered accordingly.

Iriir.alion in Yakima.
A gectlemaa from North Yakima, who ar
rived in Portland the other day informed
Telegram reporter that active oonatructinn
work on tho big ditch or cunal of the
Njrthc.ru Pacific unci Yakima Irrigation com
p iny wa commenced Tuesduy of lust week.
'Ibis work as laid out, will reqnire th ei
ienditiire of about $3,000,000. Tho main
outal will be over fifty mile in length, and
will cover 200,010 acre of the choicest land
Iu this country. It will be thirty feel wide
on the bottom, sixty feet on top, and have
a depth of eight feet. The engineering work,
which has consumed many months, wa
doue nnder the supervision of Mr. Hall,
the slate irrigation engineer of California,
and is said to be bis best work.
Al. Knit, who bus thecontract fur the first
twenty-live mile of the work, ha been
there for a time collecting hi force and get
tiug hi pluut to the front, and Tuesday the
first diit was thrown. Two car of scrapers
tv d plows had arrived with number of
ei load of horses, and sub oontractoi and
heir men are oorniug iu on every train.
Tho tax npon tin plate reaches the home
of every farmor and laborer in the country.
It aggregate at least $12,000,000 a year.
Well, what of that? says the protectionist.
Distributed among C0,000,00 of people that
is not much. Hut add to it the other mil
lions which the producing olase are oblig
ed to pay npon the actual necessities of life
and it aggregates into a gigantio robbery of
tht commonwealth. The sum total of aU
these imposition upon tin, iron, plows,
harrow, grain sacks, woolen olothing,
starch, drugs, sheep wash, and especially
women' wear, amount to so large a sum
that in the great states east with less natural
advautagei than we have, the farmer find
that the income from hi land doet not meet
his expenses. Wbat is the result? A draft
upon his capital. Wbat does that mean? A
mortgage. Then the sleepless interest ac
count begins it work. The producers every
where are crvina out for relief from these
unjust burdens, and wise indeed will be the
the party not only wise but just and patri
ot io-who listen to that call for justice.
As a nreat many are interested In the Um
atilla reservation sales we publish (he fo'
lowing from the Wall Walla Union: "From
Petulletou the word comet that the
sale of reservation lands by auction is rapid
ly deeeneratiun into the worst kind of a farce
and that seemingly the whole business was
iu the bands of sharks. A combination i
running the Indian reservation laud tale at
Ihe Umatilla agency to suit themselves.
They have a perfect list of the lauds to be
offered, and whenever a piece of land i
lected which they wish to obtain, the com
bination will outbid the independent bid
der, running the price np to a prohibitive
figure. The land will be knocked down to
the combination bidder. The land hiving
been sold the day' auction Is declared fin
ished for the day, and the crowd aisperaet.
The bidder, perhaps, not desiring to pay
such a price, tbe land is let go oy ue-
