The following Interesting Item Is
taken from the South Uriel Journal
on a ciiiIh.1 taken by a local pile-
diivr: The lilxli wind Monday night
iwim In a fnukmli moid. It blew
down smokestack on the Ilurke
shliiKle mill, iiireened over the slack
on the Slier mill and then tackled
Cray's ullediiver. brnke it from It
ni'Mirlng at Hiler's whaif and It started
gull) oft up (he stream toward the
ran own. It promptly assumed Ihe
;ilr of an oyster sliMip and though with
out sallj or rudder It rounded the point
at the narrows and sailed Into Hkid-
moie sloiish Just wherc.lt would be
needed to drive pile for the proposed
mill of the Columbia liox and Lum-
lM-r Company. The tldv b-fl It high
und dry but none the worso for the
trip, When one consider the route,
the I'IIm driver's trip was a remarkable
one.
Sunday was truly a day for the gods.

IkI froio Tortlnnd and up-river towns
were in the city. The day was to de
lightful that Nature seems to have re
gretted it, for a frown, dork and fore
toiling yesterday displaced the dimply
smile of iho dny before. However, as
weather such us Sunduy's Is not on
Ihe regular Mil of fare for this time
of the year, AMorinns may count It

ANOTHER TOOTH

The Hflssalo tiring Down HaUntc of
Cargo Which h Stowed In the
Dead of Night.
The Prltlsh steamship Monmouth
shire, plying between tie Columbia
river and Oriental ports under charter
to IJodwcll Co,, t"umcd lazily down
the river yesterday and lum night
dropped anchor neur Iirooklleld about
ttteilly-llve miles Up Ihe river.
Along about 2 o'clock this morning,
the steamboat HhhmiIo also cuine down
the river, but not luzlly. The crack
liver qttuiucr of Ihe O. R. it N.
ploiiijhid through the river ai her
sum it eHi clip, grounlng under the bcr
(I n of one hundred irmn of special car
go. This wus for the capa lous hold of
the Miiiiuiouthshire, which hud to
come down the river just one hundred
tons snort of her full liud. As soon as
the JliiK-alu came alongside, a lurge
gang ot mi ll was set to woik transfer
ring the freight to tho big liner and It
is expected that the work will be com
plctvil by somellmv this morning.
Juki why this unusual course has
been pursued may be- accepted as a
loader of conjecture so far as It con
cerned the transfer of freight at
J,rjoklleld instead of Astuiiu, where
there l every conceivable facility.
Portland people, are naturally sensitive
over the Inability of these- buuls to
cmne safely down the rher without a
full cargo and It is thought possible
ttiui the Idea of loading the Mon
mouthshire at Brookltcld, "where no
Ixidy lives und dogs burk ul strangers,"
I i 1 1 K 1 1 1 have been due to a dehire to es
cue the uniivyance which w uld nat
urally arise from any publicity in the
nmt'T.
Il wus K a rue J from a i liable source
lute lat night, however, that the pro
piigrui:i wu arranged purely as a
matter of convenience. The Husaalo
could bring the freight down the river
on her tegular uip, dump it into the
MouiiioutliMliire and then j recced to
Astorlu, leaving this city on her return
tup marly on schedule time by cut
ting short her slay.
Only a few days ago, the Muuulilp
Arab of the suine line was obliged to
ioioe down the riw-r light, taking on

U geem too lad that so much loss
of tune und eKpci.se must be incuired
In getting these ships to sa but con
solation ul' Ibis order doesn't make the
channel of the river any doeper. the
clan at Portland uuy happier, nor the
Origoiiiuu uny wiser.

At the Native Sons' reception the
other nlghl Governor Ueer brought
real blushes to the feminine cheek by
say.ig. in his allusion to the pioneer
rioiheis, that "now, in their old age,
they could lean upon him and his fel
low native sons. " Doubtless the gov
ernors invitation would be eagerly
ttixeptcd by many upon a hit of addi
tional urging, but he would have to
take a scut to muke it practicable.
A bill has Just been Introduced in
the legislature of Massachusetts mak
ing the legal minimum length for lob
stem to be taken by llshermen nine
inches instead of ten and one-half. It
is probably tn.it the legL-latora
grown nervous in contemplation of
possible encrouchments by ambitious
llshermen, proceeding upon the theory
of sell-preservation being the first law
of niture.
To out II the excitement among the
religious fanatics In the Philippines
and nil Filipino, more or less, are re
ligious fanatics General otls, after
characteristic ponderous deliberation,
MinVred himself to announce through
the Manila papers: "If the church au
thorities assign friars to curacies who
are obnoxious to the people they will
not be compelled to accept them. The
Individual liberty guaranteed by th$
Anient an constitution w ill not be de
nied tho Filipinos, and the government
will not force on them any ecclesiasti
cal denomination contrary to their
wishes."
We think so neither already pretty
ijulck, don't it. Although the dls
patcnes do not say so, it is quite prob
nbl. lh.it the next d ly It rained. Otis
bos been in Ihe Islands long enough
to know that diplomatic haggling with
a Filipino bears the relationship of a
Mau.s-r bullet af;alnt;t a warship. He
oufcht either to talk plain Fjiglish or
not talk nt all. The latter would bo
supremely better In his case.
It seems to be a quite-general opin
ion that should Matt. Ullstrom be lib
erated from the asylum within a yeur
or two he will be hauled Into court
and tried on the charge of having mur
iered Lake Mooers. The editor of the
C.'ithUmct Guuette-who la but one of
manv editors expressing similar opln-1'in-
came out In his last Issue with
this conclusion: Hllstrom wus
taken before the county medical board,
adjudged Insane, and sent to the asv
lum In Salem. This put a slop to all
criminal proceedings, but the com
plaint will not be dismissed, and should
WHAT WE StY WE'LL DO
WE DO DO
Highly
TO US....
Because
Because
TO OUR
CUSTOMERS
Hllstrom ever be released from the
ttMium he will be prosecuted."
The Inference is, at tirst thought,
most natural, tut it Is sadly too sadly-lacking
In logic. If Matt. Hllstrom
were to be liberated from the asylum,
h. would never be tried for murder.
And if he were, the proceedings In
court would be the sheerest mockery.
It would be an act of wanton waste
cf public funds. And. why? Simply
because there would not be one chance
In a thousand to secure conviction.
Everyone acquainted with the ldlosyn
cracies of the overuse. jury of today
knows this. One has but to exam
ine the criminal calendar of any coun
ty In the state to be convinced of the
absolute force of this assertion. The
n.pre fact that a warrant for the ar
rest of Hilstrom on u charge of In
sanity was issued a few hours prior to
the shooting would result In ac
quittal, even though he were subse
ouently discharged from the complaint,
unless his case was tried by a Jury of
remarkable mental acumen. And the
average Jury la'nt of t hat kind.
