We are told that the exhaustion of the bank reserve in New York was due to dem-x-ratic licy, and now we are told that the surplus of accumulation of cash in the Iwink vault! of that city is another proof j that the democrats are ruining the i country.

Portland .Sunday Welcome: Ore gon wool is worth alxiut 7 cents now. Within a year it will sell at 1-1 cents. Mi fore Cleveland pucks bis grip it will very likely reach the -0 cent notch.

Excluding Alaska th United States may be said to lw non-volcanic, states Mr. Ralph S. Tarr, but it has not been so long. A chain of volcano extends from southern South America into Mexico, then there is a large break, and the interrupted chain begins again in Alaska, curves southward, and joins the chain of Jaan. The intermediate non-volcanic area has just emerged from an era of stujH'n dous activity. Future resumption of such activity is not improbable, for in tho West are volcanos so re cent as, like Mt.

It is not olten that white men and Chinamen are leagued together but in the oiMirations of the Port land smuggling ring no attention was paid to nationalities.
