THE ri.AlNHEALER BAI.E.-lt osehlirg Review: The reported nvgotintiniiH for the sale of the Pluludenlcr, news er, to Kailioad Commissioner J It iHiy, are not on entirely, so it is sum, but there Is a hitch involving about $100 that Is causing trouble. The heavy indebtedness of the plant makes tlie negotiation tor the transfer or own ership more difficult than it otherwise might be, and the ilnal consiiuiation is not at all certain. Ho anxious are prominent republicans to get Mr Ben jamin out that a subscription paper is being circulated to rtlse this $400, one leader being down for foO and others for smaller amoun Is. There are good reasons to believe Mr Kddy will con duct the paper in the Interest of the utl-Hermann faction if he secures control of it the same faction of the party that carried the republican pri maries in itoseuurg lust spring. Dally uuara, January 8. One More Lodge. The Pacific Elk, published at Portland, has this in its lust Issue: "The enthusiasm of Ore goo Elks has so permeated every nook sad comer of the Webtoot state that every city of the required population Is desirous of huvlng an Elks lodge. The latest aspirant for lodgo honors In the state is Eugene, the city fur famed for her beautiful nmlilonu A I'lmrter list containing the names of forty of cugene s nest citizens has been secured and District Deputy O E H Hro Kolis Cohen, of Portland, has sent for a dis pensation. The institution of this lodge will take pluce early In January. It Is the purpose to get up Elk excursions from Portlaud, Salem and ltosoburg to see that the baby lodge gets a uro por start." For a Hridbe. Mesnrs J W Hhu niate, Stephen Kmeed, E F Chapniun aud several other prominent citizens of the McKonzie country, appeared be fore the commissioner's court and ked that body to order a bridgo con structed at the Hendricks' ferry site. y a change lu the river the ferry has been made useless. The court has promised to go to the point and look over the matter. We think the court will find it cheaper to erect a bridge than any other proposition. The Probable Lew. Thursday's Albany Democrat: "TIih state levy has not yet been made. It will proba bly be 4J mills. The county levy will b made, without waiting for the state j'vy, before adjournment, probably tomorrow, on the basis of about 4'. lor the state, and it Is thought will be mall enough to tuake the entire levy nly 13 mills, two mills less than last year, which will be duly appreciated." Our court should treat Lane county likewise if possible. BUSINESS C'HANUE. Salem Statef. Jjan: The Ooodule Lumber Co has dissolved, C (. Schramm retirintt ootn the good business record rr the year.

During all those years sho hud not for gotten Tommy Atkins, tho iiamo by which alio persisted lu speaking of tho soldier who hud stop) cd her pony. Although only a private, ho was her typical hero, a veri table I'uladiii. It was not surprising, therefore, thutono of her llrst resolves, on realizing what seemed to wr unlimited wealth, should Is) to rewurd her hero In a prnicr nhinniir.

Zephiu Job urrived yesterday Irom Hutto, Montana, w here for several months he lias been engaged in making "Present Owner" books and doing other work tor Montana counti.s. And it is Butte, Montana, tiecord ing to Zeph, that knows no eucli thing as hard times. Two or three million dollars is the amount paid out every mouth 01. labor payrolls in the mines in the immediate vi cinity of Uutto. Tun thousand men are at work day and night un der the ground, nearly the wholo force engaged in copper mining, and if Mr. iiryiiu hud been elected Mr. Job sttys, the force that would have been put to work in that vi cinity would have pi used the one hundred thousand mark. The miners work but eight hours per day, and their pay is 13.50, while tho work of common laborers is i(3.00 per day, and everybody has employment, that is everybody who belongs to tho union. The mines are almost exclusively cop per, and the bounty of the arrange ments nr", that u man with a wag on load, or the man with a train load of ore, can, as soon 11s the pro duct is delivered at tho works, gel spot cash for what be chooses to sell. Hutto is a city of .'10,000, and in probably the most thtiving city of its size in tho w ide, wide, world. The Portland Dispatch, edited by that most radical democrat, A. Noltner, has this in its last issue: "The malice of the Oregonian to wards Secretary Kiucaid is based on the simple fact that ho has ati opinion of bis own and the courage to maintain it. lie has refused to be a tool to the dictator, and being a conscientious advocate ol bimetal ism, has refused to surrender to the demands of the party bosses. lie is n lifi'-l.iii M'puhlican and has ulwavs r'liinl with his parly until I Ii its motley question ciuno up.

A Methodist missionary of tho M K church bus beod engaged for ten years in translating the history of China. He finds their archives go back to -liOO years 15 (J, and that the beginning of the world is lost in tradition. He will complete the history in fifteen years more and it will i.'inita'u over a million words. He himself is a son of a Methodist missionary of Canton, who married a Chinese wife, nd so he is therefore in a good posi tion to bring history and legends to the civilized world in book form. If hit is smart enough to divide history from legend he will bent all the famous historians who have spent their lives in tracing the history of civilized nations to their source.
