It is but justice to Mr. Inlow to state that the deer killed wessold to the cum persat tliis pop.ilar rtsort, none of the meat being abandoned. The deer hide skinners are the men w ho should be the most harshly dealt with. It is the intention of the State Game Warden to execute the law to the let ter in the future, therefore violators should cease iheir criminal work. Appreciates the Uetiellt. The Salem Hiatei-uian publishes this suggcutive editorial comment: "Albany wheat 47c. Salem wheat 44c. We need a branch of the new O. P." Albany Herald: "The citl.env of Albany paid over (UKI.OOO to get this road into Albany and it wus a good iuvestuieut too.

HEN IIOM.AliAY AMI A 1'IIKKR ItAMK. tsslon of Two Week Wlnrli Kailed In a Laughable Incident. Washington News: Judge Noah. one of the oldest and bosl known V ashiugton eorresiMindents. has n fund of stories about shl timers here al the capital that is practically Inex haustible. An old armv nllhvr tol.l Judge Noah that President liraut was the greatest poker player that ever set foot in tliiscitv. where, in tliu first 10 or 13 years ufur the close of the war, such games were played as welo never anown britire or since. This o nicer, who served with tirunt in Oregon. says even iu that early day he kept his comrades in a chronic state of im- peeuniosity by Ids passiveness when holding a big hand. Uenentl Kufus Ingalls, w bo in 1S11 was a captain and assistant tmarter master, and subsequently obtained tliu rank of quartermaster general, was one or the Tactile coast party which played daily with Orunl when they were together in Ore- goii, but although recognized us a past-muster ol the game, ingalls was no mutch for t lie little close-mouthed infantry captain. Ben llolladay, the pioneer mail contractor of Hint section, was likewise ou the pokei tapis with Oiaiil; and so were "Joe" Lane and "Jim" Nesiullh, tsitli senulurs subse quently from Oregon; tliu former the candidate for the vice presl- deucy on the tlcktt with John ('. ltrrcklurhlgc lu 1MU. lieu llolla day wus uti inveterate poker player, but Grant, Ingalls, Lane Neamiti und llolladay are ull dead, and but few uro now alive of tliu old coterio w hich gathered together ut the curd tables o that epoch ou tho shores of llie I'a cille. It is narrated by Judge Nouh ou the authority of tho aforesaid army officer that ou one occasion llolladay, Grunt, Ingalls, und Nesmlth engaged in a gnuie of linker which lusted two weeks, night aud day.

Another car load of fruit f r the eastern market is being packed by Humphrey it N ear. I lie begin- ning is small, but tit.ic will work wonders. Jurymen arc not anxious to bo ;uught on the Ihimuit murder trial. An enforced imprisonment of ii couple of months is not picas ant to contemplate. Another homo industry is being developed in Oregon that of Mago robbing. Some day these enter prising knights of the road will be met by a shot gun in the hands of a man not afraid to pull the trig ger. The Southern l'acilio railroad charges us much for freight from Albany to Eugene, fortt-tive miles, as the Oregon Central it Kustcrn docs from San t runcisco, aluut seven hundred miles. This is a good reason why our people should use every effort to secure a compet ing railroad line. Down at Berkeley, the scat of the University of California, freshmen arc tortured ami litued by the older classes, llie University uf Oregon has been remarkably Irec from class prejudice, and new students may rest assured no advantage will be taken of them by tellow classmates. California towns are complaining because the Southern l'acilio rail road charges much more, in some instances, lor a short haul than a long one. Of course they arc un reasonable. Kuilroail coin Panics, where they own the commissioners, have no rights which tho average citizea is not bound to n spirt. Wheat quotations ut Albany the other iluv were -17 cents. At Salem, twenty-live miles nearer Portland, 41 cents. Albany litis a competing railroad line which accounts for the dillerence. Do not the busi ness men aud property holders of Kugene, and farmers contiguous to points on tliu proposed road, re alizo tho wisdom of securing a branch line of tho Oregou Central and Kus'.eru railroad? Kvery day or two the editor of the ''organ of the com mon people" gets up tin his hind legs, gleefully hups him self, then informs the people, com mon and otherwise, that the silver craze is waning. It is another ease of the small hoy whistling while going through the grave yard to keep up courage, lie will not even heed the tenor of tho telegraphic dispatches published in his own ui per. In fact the editorial and news ami telegraphic departments often iail to coincide. What respect can Ixj hud for our traditional financial policy when gold gamblers of Lombard street, Loudon, must be depended upon to keen a few million dollar.' of the yellow metal in tho treasury at Washington and that at an enor mous bonus? Gold withdrawn from shipment In Europe lias been re placed by the llotliscliild syndi cate that got If 10,000,000 for jdac ina llie last loan, in order to keep the gold reserve up to tho one hundred million limit. It is not plcupiint to contemplate a partner ship between the United States treasury with moncv brokers of Loudon. The Oregonian, like other papers, receives a large portion of its in come in silver dollars, which it characterizes as dishonest money aud 50- cent dollars. The self claimed "organ of the people" should statu what discount it is willing to accept on tho silver dol lars puid it by laboring men and farmers. We anticipate a reply of 100 cents on tho dollar. That is if it is honest enough to make any reply. The Oregonian litis never yet had the manhood to inform its reader as to the relative value of silver and g(;ld prior to detnoneti z itioii of the former in 187:1. liver since the spring of 1892 Miss Kutie Purbiu now living in San Francisco, has been very much n doubt as to whether she is a Jew or Gentile. Her supposed father, Joseph Durbin, lute of I'ist Portland, and elsewhere, asserts that the girl is his daughter, born of American parents at East I'm t land, Or. On the other hand, Katie believes herself to bo a full blooded Jewess, und claims to have had documentary pro if of thut fact at one ' time. But the documents were destroyed in a so'iit whaf. pe culiar manner, and i.ow Katie al most despair of ever finding out who her real purents were. She claims that the man who repp'j.Mit himself as her father is not In r pan lit, but that her real l 'tli"r's name is U'uld,-and she can jet no trace of liirn. The Durrani murder trial has not ytt got to t ie work of taking evidence. It is 1 1 .t r 1 to secure jury men. The Portland Telegram feci b.ul because f.irmcrs want better prices for wheat than offend by Portland exporh is U is prolublu the edi tor It. i no w he.it for stile. l'riz'! lighters continue to u-e the press for their encounters. It is not a dangerous method but Mem to allay the blood thirsty spirits of the antagonists. Reports cotno that New York speculators are buying gold at a premium. And yet gold advocates gravely inform us that il is a staple commodity. Dear gold means lower price for other products. Summer outings often proves ttsts of the genuine character of men and women. Away from the restraints of home, with nothing to do but to do nothing, men and wo men often do things against tho es tablished principles of their char acter. The true man and wo. nan comes ot.t with a clean record. It is tinielv to inform all posses sors of unpatented mining claims that It will be necessary in (hi the. usual 100 uH-cstnciit work for lSUj, before the expiration of the year. During the past two years by special ucls of congress, miners have not been required to improve unpatented claims; but now the operation of the law is resumed. Oregon would be in a far la tter condition financially if tho farmer had turned their attention yeara ago to diversilled farming instead ol almost exclusive wheat culture. Tako tho Sharpies orchard and Da vis hop yard as instances, where, on about two hundred acres of land, at least 500 people will find em ployment for a month. Iu wheal the labor required on these places would bu hardly appreciable. According to Mrs. Barton Harri son, who is certainly good authori ty, one of the very rich New York ers remarked some timo ago: "Re ally, now that society in New York is gelling so large, mm must draw tho line somewhere. After this I shall visit and invito only those who are worth more than M.OOO.roX)," Soino people may think that this is a sign of impend ing plutocracy. It is not; it is a sign of increasing idi ey. Members of tho lCnglisli parlia ment occupy their seats with their hats on. Speaker Crisp gives his impression of the British parlia ment in this fashion: "1 attended tho opening of parliament today and it proved a great treat to me naturally as I am interested in En glish forms and methods of legis lation. One of the most striking diU'erences lietwccn our methods and those in uso hero is that the sjM'tiker is non-partisan. Your members of parliament are certain ly a fine looking body of men. To an American, however, it looked very odd to eco members of tho house sitting with their hats on. I am satisfied, from what I saw, that I prefer tho methods of our congress. Tho obligation of fidelity will bo as natural to woman in tho time to come as it wits in the old days, bo eaiiHo human nature is stronger than any laws wo may make to ehango it, and the instinctivo feeling of u woman, is fidel ity fidelity to tho man she loves, tho man to whom iho has given herself. Educational and modern influences may modify for a time the bent of her life, and may cause some woman to break away and embark on other lines and ways of living, but tho prodigals will re turn home, finding out the IioIIot ness and the impossibility of the career they prepared for tin m selves. Ktoui physical causes wo men cannot load tho same lives its men, do what they may; and as nature, in her wisdom, they will recognize, after a time, their imita tions, and bo content to admit that they havo been worsted in the un equal struggle. This is how Ambrose, Bicrce in the Sun Francisco Examiner pays his respects to tho New Woman: "Abstain, la-loved brethren, from tho sin of calling the bloomer girl 'tho new woman.' She is not tho new woman not by a gun-shott That corrugated and cartilaginous sho pirate upon whom the terra 'new woman is a judgment for deeds done in tho mouth the tion tnalo platformer, blowsy and Bhouty, discharging her two lungs with a loud and incredible report the virginal vestigo of creation ever flouging her teeth with her tongue in the service of her fad these do not hurst into bloomers, and have nothing in common with tho sweet and sensible bicycle girls that do.
