(Formerly of Lelpslg and London.) A good story is being told on two of the city officials who were with the Elks in Portland. In their rush to get on their duck trousers, the two put them on over their Street dress. One of the officials found, after donning the trousers that there waa a narrow atrip of fringe down the eeama of the leg and that there were no buttons. He waa quit dismayed, until the other called his attention to the fact that he had put them on wrong sldj out. Af ter the parade these two were In as '.nuch of ft rush to don their street dress as they were to put on their uni forms. The one or. whom tha Joke was, took his ducks off and calted to the other to rush matters, which was done by merely pulling on his coat and vest over the white waist. After walking around the city. th one wtlh his ducks on. went Into a saloon and removed them; but forgot that he had a duck shirt on. Hal It not been for his fellow sufferer he would have gone out on tho stro?t with the duck shirt hang ing over his trousers, a la Chinese. Each took one on the other and made solemn vow never to mention their discomfort to anyone. The Warrenton Tribune, In an item on the cycle path says: Eight hundred dollars must be raised for the purpose, Porsnns subscribing for the path are not bound In any way until the eight hundred dollars have been subscribed, after which, the amount subscribed must be paid within sixty day. The association Is to be a permanent organ laatlon. for the purpose of making the beautiful Clatsop Beach a place of re sort, not only for Astoria and War renton, but for any other cities which will unite with us for a near place of resort. This will be no small task. The Warrenton people have subscribed over four hundred dollars this week, and earnestly solicit the co-operation Of the Astoria business men who re ceive a share of the trade of the people on this slda of the bay. People of Astoria, and other cities near by, who wish to have a scenic bicycle path to beautiful beach, a good outing, (only 30 minutea rldi from Astoria), 8hould not hesitate a moment to subscribe liberally for the project while every ef fort la being put forth. It will not only be a great blessing for Warrenton but for Astoria as well, where there are more people to enjoy It. Near Wapanltia. a little town about 50 miles from The Dalles, la a peculiar freak of nature In the form of a small. deep hole In the ground, from which the air rushea with auch great force that at tlms It can be heard a dis tance of over a quarter of a mile. For a period of six hours the air Is forced out of this hole, and then for similar length of time, it Is with great worce drawn back again, and so on without cessation, according to the East Oregonlan. About ten years ago, an old man, Hampton Key, bored tor well, and on reaching the depth of HO f'-et, the drill suddenly, and wlthou ny warning, fell for a considerable distance, and It was found that a large cavity had been struck and the al rushed from the hole with a tremend ou force. From that day to this the air ha continued, hour by hour and day by day, unceasingly and with reg ulurlty to be ft reed out for aix hours, and then drawn In for a like period of six hours, never falling, never dl mlntshlng. At time the air ruahee with greater force, roar and weird sound than at others, and the old set' tiers say that when this happens great change In the weather takes plas-e or a storm Invariably follows, and for yeari old Hampton Key was able to predict a storm or change of weather, and It wa found mere reliable than a barometer, and when a great storm wa predicted everybody prepared for it. The temperature at the mouth of the hole la always the same, about (2 degrees In winter and In summer. Tears ago the owner, always expert mentlng and inventing, connected this air by a ploe and ran It Into a milk house, and In the beat of summer the little mllkhous? was always cool, while on the outside all was sweltering, and in cold blasts of winter, when the mercury stood low In the thermometer, the little miikhouse wis kept 'warm Inside, and th9 old man stored all his potatoes and other vegetables there and they never would freeze. CHA3I.VO A 8TEAMSHIP. 6mallrox on Board Ail Patsengere Get Away. The steamship Queen of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company la In aerioua trouble with the government aa the re tult of neglecting to report a case of smallpox to the United States author Itlea at Port Townsend. The Queen came in from Skagway and other Alaskan ports to Tacoma with 135 passenger, a majority of them Eastern tourists. Some time after passing Port Town send it was discovered that the ves sel had smallpox on board and that at leaat one perron and probably aev eral more were very ill with the dls ease. The health authorities at Seattle were at once telein-aphed to with instruc tions to send the steamer back to Port Townsend with all of her passengers and freight. By the time the message waa re ceived In Seattle the Queen had dlsem barked all but a few of her passen gers and had gone to Tacoma to land the balance of her cargo. The marine oflicer at Port Townsend waa at once apprised of this fact and wired the United State marine officer at Tacoma to prevent the Queen from having any communication with the shore-, and to order her back to Port Townsend to the quarantine station, The, telegram stated that the vessel had evadid the officers at Seattle and that It waa of great Importance that tbe should be prevented from touching at any other point. This telegram reached the marine of fice at 7 o'clock, when the Queen had already landed the balance of her pas sengers and freight and waa on her way back to Seattle, having sailed at (.10. The deputy collector of the customs house waa requested to order the Queen to quarantine, but hla notification was received too late to enable him to catch the ateamer. Again telegraBia went flying to Port Townsend and back and the elusive steamer wa finally overhauled at Se attle and sent to quarantine. Mean' while the health officers of Tacoma and Seattle are on a vigorous hunt for the passengers who were landed, for every one of the 155, aa well aa the officer and crew, were exposed to the disease, and It is deemed necessary to locate them to prevent the spread of the scourge. It Is evldant that either some one at Port Townsend blundered In allow ing the steamer to pass without be ing quarantined, or that the steam' ship's off cers failed to make any men tlon of the case. tru9t!ng to land the patient at Seattle without being ob served. The government Is already apprised of the facta as far em they are known, and will order a strict Investigation that will fit the responsibility. . The penalty for violating the law re quiring the reporting of cases of con tagious disease is a fine not to exceed 15,000 In the discretion of the court REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
