Gibraltar was taken by the Eng
lish in 1704, during the war of the
Spunibh succession, a war which
was provoitea Dy me agcreseive
p .licy of France in endeavoring to
place a monarch of the French
family upon th Spanish throne,
and thus consolidate the old king
doms into ona. The fortress was
then captured, almost by surprise,
though the Spaniards and French,
appreciating the strategic value of
the place, made desperate efforts to
recover it, but were repulsed at
every point. Between the date of
its capture and 1799, repeated
effort were irade by Spain to re
cover the fortress, and in the latter
year the greatest armament that
was ever brought to beur upon a
btWgod place lay before Gibraltar,
Tim siege lasted, oil and on, lor
uiany months. The investing force
com priced 12,000 troops of France,
over twice as many of the best in
fautry of Spam, aud thelleetcon
kitted of 47 thin, all three-deckers;
10 fl mting batteries, deemed in
vincible, carrying 212 ,uns; iu
nuiujribie frigate, bmu Sketches
cutters, gun an 1 mortar boats. Fur
weeks together over 0,00 shells a
day ere thrown into the town,
and repeated attemp s were made
to storm the works, but the 1 i i tie
garrison of only 7,000 men repelleo
every assault, and succeeded in
beating off the allied fleet. The
blocknde began June 21, 1779, and
aud lasted until February, 1783,
whan the gat rison was finally re
lieved by tbo arrival of a British
licet and army, since that time
the fortifications of Gibraltar have
been so improved and increased
that it is regarded as tin strongest
fortress in the world. The British
government maintains there a gtr-
risou of from 5,000 to 10.000 men,
with provisions for six months,
and it is said the supply ot uiili
tary materials is sumoient to en
able the f )rtress to stand a eeige of
indefinite length.
EXPENSIVE THISTLES.
Pendleton E O: "l'rof C V Piper,
botanist of the Pullman agricul
tural college, after having carefuly
estimated the cost, gives it as his
opinion that it will necessitate the
expenditure of $10,000 to eradicate
the Russian thistle from the wheat
fields of Umatilla county, The
professor made a trip through the
McKay creek country yesterday
and waB in consultation with Henry
F Price upon bis return as to the
proper steps to be taken to fight
the thistle and drive it from the
Inland Empire.
"Henry F IVroe had an inter
view with Governor-elect T T Geer,
anil the subject of the extermina
tion of the Russian thistle came up,
Til two above mentioned gentle
men and U C Judson, industrial
agent of the O II & N Co are al
ready at work for concerted ajtion
by the fnrmers of Eastern Oregon
to -ecure an appropriation of f 10,
000 from the legislature which will
convene next January, to be spent
u uler proper safeguards to eradi
cate the Russian thistle while it
can be done at comparatively slight
expense. It the matter is post
poned two years $100,1)00 would
not be enough to do what the ex
penditure of $10,000 would accom
plish next spring. This is a ser
ious matter to the owner of wheat
land throughout the entire eastern
portion of the state, and to none
more than to those of Umatilla
county. The Commercial Associa
tion will be asked to join in the
good work and assist t get the
necessary appropriation and tosie
that it is properly expended."
PA'S ORUAN MSTUEsSED.
Pa's organ 11 sorely distressed
over the commUeionership contest.
For weeks it has been trying by
every means possible to prevent a
recount. Yesterday it said Pa in
landed to atand on hia rights, and
intimated editorially that witnesses
would have to bj called to identify
the ballots. But in the local
column of the organ Pa's attorneys,
Messrs Woodcock and Hardy, who
are able lawyers, stipulated that,the
ballota should be taken direct from
the clerk's office and counted. One
of the lawyers referred to, Mr
Woodcock, has Btated publicly
that in many states that the re
spective county paid tho expense ofj
contests tor oUice, holding that it
was not a private matter but one of
"public interest."
The Guard is accused of having
Mr Baughman institute the suit
whereby he only asks for an honest
count of the ballots. This is a false
hood. However, the Gcakd is in
favor of the reoount, believing that
the great interest displayed by Pa's
organ and its intimate friends in
attempting to prevent said recount
is not in the interest of tho people
of Lane county.
And in this connection we desir J
to republish a few lines from Pa's
organ concerning this contest writ
ten during the last days of June:
"The Register is informed that if
the fusionists contest the office of
com nissioner, the contest will be
carried ny the republicans to the
office of sheriff. It U believed by
the repuolieanajbatin at least one
precinct, which gave Baughman
and Wittiers nood majorities, there
wan illegal voting at the polls. If,
on investigation, this belief should
prove true, the entire vote of this
precinct iu ght be throwu out,
which alone would give Scott, the
republican candidate for sheriff,
enough votes to elect him and
w mid greatly increase the majority
of Edwards.
"If the contest takes place some
interesting results may follow."
Where has this sheriff's contest
blufl gone?
The great legal light of the Reg
ister, who has had reat experience
evolved the idea tor the first time
that 'he entire leal vote of a pre
cinct could be thrown out if one
illegal vote should be cast therein.
La is only common sense, but
probably the organ for the Father
never thought of this.
We now reiterate what we said
at the time the above was pub
lished: A pitiful plea for the possession
of a petty office without submission
of the rights thereof to a just and
fair tribunal for determination.
The AJrian county (Mo) courts
have been wrestling wit : a peculiar
lawsuit in which rats cut the prin
cipal figure. A farmer named
Sturgeon hired oue Wulker to kill
the rodents on hie place, agreeing
to pay 1 ceut apiece for the taiU of
1.000 of the victims. When 7o0
tails hail been presented for tally
Wa ker asked $7.50 as pay for his
services. Here the trouble begin,
for the farmer refused to pay for any
number less than 1.000. He also
claimed that Walker tried to plm
ofi mouse taiW on him as tails of
young rats. Tho hired man
Hpnured a favorable verdict in the
lower courts, but Sturgeon will
continue his legal fight to escape
payment.

MUTUAL CONSENT.
Wo mounted our machines and pro
ceeded on our way. Presently Dora and
myself found ourselves lagging a little
behind.
"This Isn't at all right, you know."
she remarked.
"What isn't?"
"JNuturally you should be with
Ireno."
My dear Miss Faget, wo bavo the
rotst of our lives to be together. Irene
understands that"
"Sho is quito exceptional. "
"Sho is very clever, and I ndmiro her
immensely. "
Dora laughed.
"Is that why you btianio engaged to
her?"
I aidn t. Mrs. Kenyon arranged it
for us."
Dora opened her eyes wouderingly.
"Mrs. Kenyon arranged it for you?"
she repeated.
"Yes, " said L "Sho is very thought
nil. Mio decided it was timo for Irene
to marry, and sho thought I was fitted
to become a husband. With admirable
tact sho managed the whole affair, and
wo are both very grateful to her."
And you love ono another?" she ask
ed
"Wo ndmiro one another," I replied.
"ana that la nn excellent substitute. "
Do you think your tastes aro sim
ilar?"
"Oh, they aro not," I replied frank
ly. "Hut wo will mako allowances.
Mrs. Kenyon has been thinking that it
is time for us to settlo down. As you
know, when Mrs. Kenyon thinks there
is generally a result, and, what is more,
mio mm uisonvcreu a uouho wnicu an
architect unconsciously designed to
meet Ireuo's requirements. "
"How lucky I" said Dora.
"Yes. Isn't it jolly? I havo to settle
within three days. This is tho surprise
in store 'or Irene.
Dura looked ahead nt tho others.
They were alout 200 yards iu front
"When mo you going to break the
news to her?"
"Somo time or other. It does not look
as if she wi.uld welcome an interruption
just now. dricrsoii, who is also studi
ous, can always pn.vido a subject of lu
terest to her. That U why I encourage
tho acquaintance,"
"You niv very generous."
"That is hardly tho word. Tho prin
ciple involved is ouo of givu and take."
Tliero was silence for n moment or so.
"We really must catch them up,"
said sho at length.
"Yes, really wo must," I replied.
back pedaling a little. "I hear thut you
leavo tomorrow.
I bad been out to South Africa a few
months previously, and on my way
homo bad met tho l'agots, who had
coiun on board at Madeira.
"Tho dear old Dutton castlol" she
exclaimed. "Those days were tho most
pleasant 1 bavo ever ',)ciit "
"Yes, they were very charming," I
assented with a half sigh. "We saw a
good deal of ono another duriug that
short voyage. "
Looking ahead, I nntiood that Irono
and (iiierson were riding vi-ry slowly.
"Unless we get o!T and Walk, " I said,
"lam afraid we shall hnvo to catch
them up. "
"That has been my endeavor for some
time, "said Dora. "I shall rido with
Mr. ( iricrson and leave you with Irene. "
"lam not nt all sure Unit bo wants
to ridu with you."
Dora gave u little toss of her head.
"Men aro not supposed to act as they
wish whero ladies aro concerned. "
"That is evidently Mrs. Kenyon's
idea," 1 remarked.
Wo joined tho others.
"You seemed to lio somewhat inter
ested iu a di.-icussinu, " I said to Orier
son, "so wo decidid not to worry you
with our chatter."
"Miss I'uirfux nnd myself," hero
plied with naiuilo, "were comparing
our impressions cf a book we have both
perused."
The. four of us rodo along slowly for
somo distaiifo. Presently Dora, true to
her word, frTaduully drew Cirierson
ahead, and Ireno and myself were loft a
few yards Ih hind.
"Do you know, dear, " I said, with a
glaueoat her, "that people are begin
ning to think that it is time we should
be married?" .
"People?"
"Well, Mrs. Kenyon hi particular.
It appears, " said I, "that sho has found
cut a houso that was built for you. "
"For me?"
"For us, I mean. It has a lovely
study for you to writoiu, a magnificent
ly lighted room for you to paint in, a
perfect gem of a boudoir for you to
well, what do ladies do iu their bou
doirs? Mrs. Kenyon says that it is tho
chance of a lifetime and on no account
must it tx missed. She thinks it is ab
solutely necessary for your health and
happiness that you"
"Thru it's settlwl!" alio exclaimed
gloomily.
"I am afraid it is. "
"What is tho name of this wonderful
place?"
"1 think it is called Hatton House. "
Hie broke into a Uugli.
"Hatton House!" she cried. "I am
afraid auntie will be disappointed. "
"Why?" 1 asked hopefully.
"Mr. Orient in boa just told me that i

"HyJyVe!" I nu.L "How f na

iistauco ahead by now.
"They are goiti th.i long way
inmnd, " I said. "Let us turn down
tho lane and meet them ot Wulbrldgo
txinier. They will know where wo havo
gone. "
Ireno gavo mo a hesitating bok.
"You seem a little tirl," I said,
"and It is considerably shorter tho
Ihird side eif a triangle, you know."
Sho assented to the proposal, and wo
turned into tho lone,
"It will bo a surprise to Mrs. Ken
yon." I begun. "I wonder what
will say."
"Don't you think, Hugh, that In the
past wo havo been niviii.tomed b pay
just a trlflo too much attention to what
auntie says?"
I shot a glance nt her. Her eyes wero
contemplating tho bundle bar
"I suppose that Is why wo became
engaged," I ventured.
"Do you mean to say that you didn't
love mo?" she asked quickly. I thought
I detected a shade of eagerness lu her
tone.
"My dnr Irene'," I mild reproach
fully, "do you think wo should have
become engaged If wo had not Kvn at
tracted to ouo another?"
"Yes, yes," sho said Impatiently.
"Put do wo lovo ono another?"
"Of that I am nut so sure. "
Sho was thoughtful for a moment
"Then," alio said slowly, "do you
think, Hugh, wo aro justified in run
ning such a terriblo risk?"
I fought tho matter out with my con
science, " " I said nt length. "Whatever
onr privato feelings may be, I think it is
plainly our duty to" I paused.
"What?" sho cried almost eagerly.
"Preak off tbo engagement, " I said
sorrowfully. Thero was a long pause.
Wo reached Walbrldgo comer, and
alighting from onr machines seated our
selves on a grassy bank to await the
others. In a few minutes they rodo up.
"Well, I do think you aro mean!"
criid Dora,
"Yes, wo must apologize' I said.
"Wo tisik a short cut to happiness I
mean to Walbridgo. " I pulled enit my
watch. "Wo must hurry to bo back in
timo for luncheon. "
Wo mounted, aud again I found my
self by Dora's side.
"Y'our father invited mo to como nnd
mako a stayit your .town house," I
said "May IV
"Put Ireno would nut consent to
your deserting her."
"I think sho would bo rather glad.
You know wo admire oue another. Well,
wo havo been talking tbo matter over
and come to tho conclusion that this is
nut quite sufiiclcut, so by mutual con
sent wo havo terminated tho eugago

"Is that what happened lu tholauvf"
sho exclaimed in surprise.
" Yes. That is why I think tho 'hum
of things, ' followed by a trip to New
Zealand, would bo distinctly agreeable.
May I come?"
"Yes," she said, with a smile, "If
you promise not to devote too much
timo to tbo olub window. Hut, Mrs.
Kenyon what will" sho added.
"I don't know," I ropliid, "and.
straugo to say, a fooling that I don't
care much Is gradually taking posses
sion of mo.
Dora laughed gayly.
"How brave you aro!" sho said.
Later in tho day it was after lunch
eon tbo news was broken to Mrs. Ken
yon. Naturally alio was a little sur
prised; but, contrary to our expecta
tions, sho did not appear to be much
annoyed.
"Perhaps it is for tbo best," sho said
philosophically.
