Ttii mull' Waine famou in tbe conn

in the Oregon nd Washington Indian

country through the war of the reliel

ment on earth at that place that Harry
heil it remnrkable hixtory and de
termiiicd to purfhaM" and pension the
fuithful rn-ature w hi. h lie did.
And now come the political part of

auaint miii-id but at there was only a
nut row ful kilence, he agHln proceeded:
".Vow you nil know that Billy Akeers
it n republican and wan elected by n
publican vote and what did he do!"
No one ventured to gticmt and he eon
tinned:
"Whv lie went nml appointed Mcu

mnllcr wn becoming so serious by this
time tlmt not a noul dared to commit
himtelf by a word and Harry continued
hi monologue:
"And what did Steve Wylie do! Why
he ne.ted that poor young and inno
cent mule, that had faithfully served
it country for more than 60 years nt
$5 and now I've got to pay tnxe on it
ii well n it neiifion. Now what do
you think of that!"
liv this time the matter had become
so unexpectedly seriou that none felt
like expressing hi real thought but a
few, pertinent suggestions were made
and a number of questions were asked
with a view of an amicable arrange
ment and to pacifying Mr. Johnson
One man suggested that if the mule was
no better republican that Steve Wylie
wa a democrat, It ought to be sent to
the reform school. Another aked if
the mule wa born a republican or its
mind had been corrupted through Its
army associations. Another suggested
that the mule be taken before the
board of equalization and allowed to
do its own kicking. However, ull this
failed to placate Mr. Johnson and he
refused to be comforted until he wa
assured that both Billy and Steve
would be seen at onee and persuaded to
explain and satisfactorily arrange mat
ters before the campaign had further
advanced and irretrievable mischief
been done. Willapa Harbor Pilot

Two carloads of that famous TeiTn
Cotta, from Lincoln, Cel., for which the
county court debonairely paid out the
sum of $20,000 are now en route to
Astoria, one having left there on
Thursday evening last, and the other
on Friday, and there are fourteen more
to be shipped here. The freight bill for
this stuff will aggregate $100 or $1500,
and the handling, storing and insuring
of the whole costly purchase, will add
another $1000, to the extraordinary bill
already paid.

HERE'S A WISE HINT.
Logged-off Land May be Utilized at Big
Profit
It ha lii-nenillv Iteen taken for
granted that the logged-off land of
tlit- lion were vehicle for any pur
Me. until cleared, and that the laW
nd expense of getting them in a fit
condition for cultivation wa greater
than their actual worth. So prevalent
ha been thi belief that it is a rare
thing to w-e Mich land cleared, and
there are now thouiand of acne in thi
immediate ricgigliborhood lying idle and
deolnte, given tip a practically worth-
let.., iut because the timber that once
covered them liai Wn cut away, when.
if lalMir and money were expended up
on them, they could I made Into great
wealth producer ever greater than the
value of their original forest growth.
There i not sn acre of these logged
off land-, that will not produce enor
moil crop of blackberries, and that
I.hi. without any further clearing. Kven
the hilU. which could hardly lie ued
for aiciiltural purpose at any time
will giviw thec lurries in such large
quiintiiie. that the man who has the
foreight to secure control of the-e now
unite area, and to turn them into
Ih itv rmtche. 1 certain to come out
iiiiii-r.
The iuxftmetit of a few thousand dol
lar" in a well-equipped winery, nml the
sowiiik' of n few hundred acres of thec
iipnoredlv ttorthh" hind in black
bcrrie- to be converted into wines and
braiulv, would mean certain wealth to
tin imrtv enua-'cd in such an enter-
pli-e
.
The actual expense involved in the
growing of liliukbcrtic-. on these lands
ix one of labor, for the berries will
trow wild when once the seed is scat
tered, and will continue to increase their
yields for many years. It is only neees
sary to watt a couple of years for the
flr-t crop and after that the returns are
certain. It requires no experience at
the Mart and but little capital to keep
it up. while the revenue will continue
tn increase vear after year. If this
berry urowing business should be en
gaged into any considerable extent
around Montesano. it is probable that
some experienced parties could be in
dueed to build a winery here for the
purpose of handling the crop, especially
if assured of a sufficient quantity of
berries to keep such an enterprise run
ning through the season
Both Evergreen and Logan varieties
of blackberries will do well here, and
they are known to be just what wine
men require for their use.
Hera is an opportunity to make
money out of land that everybody has
been condemning as useless. Who will
be the first to take advantage of it!

TWO WEEKS SHUT DOWN.
Shingle Millmen Endeavoring to Main
tain Prices.
Weteru Washington hirigle mills
eloped Wednesday night to remain
mI.,,1 .tf.u-ii frir Itt'n U'i.i,L-M Ttiiii i.olirii '
wn decided upon nt a meeting of the
trustees of the Slilnjlc Mills Bureau,
hehl Saturday in Seattle. Practically
all of the shingle mills of any import-HtK-e
in the state shut down their mills
ami will iiuike no more nhinglc for the
eilMling two week.
At the inn meeting of the shingle
manufacturer a week iigo in Seattle
the mill owner voted to close their
plant for two weeks if the triMee of
the Shingle Mills Bureau, after making
an iiive-itigiitiou, should declare it to
be advisable.
Saturday eleven of the fifteen mem
ber of the runt ccs of the bureau met
in Seattle, representing all of the
shingle eountie of the state excepting
Whatcom. The two Whatcom trustee
telegraphed that !) per cent of the
Whatcom county mills were ready to
close if the Imard decided it was neces
sary. It was shown that a number of
brokers have order for nearly 1000
ear of shingles, in all, which they took
evei I months ago at a low figure,
below the bureau price and expecting
to break the market. Xone of these
orders, it i tateL have been placeed
with the mills and so many being taken
off the market caused a temporary
weakening in the demand and every
probability of a slump, in prices for
which the brokers wera working by
every means in their power, issuing
cut li-t. both to the mills and the
Kastern trade.
Eeports received from every shingle
county indicated a willingness to close
for two week-. Iractically all of the
mills that shut down during the winter
and a number of the large plants which
refuM-d to shut down at that time, but
have since joined the bureau all sent
notice of a willingne to shut down
Bv iiniinimoti vote the trustees of the
bureau therefore derided tfi order a
shutdown for two week, beginning
Wednesday night, May 1(5.
The opiniou is expressed by members
of the board of trustees of the bureau
that the shut down, which will greatly
curtail the shingle supply, will have the
effect of immediately stiffening prices
ami will maintain the bureau price of
tM.HO for star, at the mill for the bal
ance of the year. Willapa Harlior Pilot
WHAT BAILEY PRAYED FOR.
Texas Senator's Petition May be An
swered in Full.
I wond feel that we were reaching
an era in this devoted land where men
are to be indeed bv how thev act
and what they think, rather than by
what they have; when intellect, and not
fortune, when conduct, more than birth,
should be the measure of our esteem,
and when an honest fame should be the
goal toward which our ambitions youth
should be taught to toil and hope.
Mr. President, I am one of tlue-c who
believe that such time may come of
coitr.e. I am not so Minple-minded as to
dream that, the old davs of small for-
tunes and great contentment will ever
come again to bless the land, but I do
believe in the coming of a better day
than this, when the man who knows
that he is jut and honest will feel that
he is happier in his circumstances than
the man whose riches have been cor
rupted through injustice.
I pray for the time to come when
we shall have a new standard to guide
our children; when we shall teach them
that justice is better than power, and
lead them into the ennobling faith that
truth shall conquer falsehood in every
land where peace abides and in every
land where men are free. Under the
influence of higher ideals and' more un
selfish aspirations all hate and envy
will vanish from our minds, and the
only evil thought which still must TO
us will be the malice which the bad
u shall forever feel toward the good. When
conduct instead of fortune is made the
rule by which we judge all men every
boy in the land, no matter how humble
his parentage, or how limited his op
portunity, will feel the thrill of hope,
and the carpenter's son will know that
if only he is just, brave and honest he
will be more respected than the son
of any millionaire who ever wasted his
father's fortune in idle dissipation or
foiled his father's name by gross ex
cesses. Congressional Record.

OUT OF HER COURSE.
As the bie Portland excursion on the
Astoria &. Columbia River Railroad en
tered Sea.ide yesterday during the noon
hour, the people aboard were treated
to the sight of a passing schooner, and
before they were well off tbe train, the
whole populace, visitors and all. were
made aware of the fact that the turn
W laden stranger was well within
Tillamook Head and off her course. She
had worked in so far she could not make
her way out, and did the next best
thing, came far enough in for a lea,
dropped her canvas and let go her an
chor. She wa a two-master, and
painted black, with a good deck load,
and as nothing of that sort has gone
from here during the past forty-eight
hour, it i almost certain she hails
from Cray's Harbor or somewhere fur
ther north. She was riding easily at
sundown, and it is hoped she will get
clear by this morning and make a safe
offing.
Later.
The gasoline schooner Berw ick which
. left out over the Columbia car ;auir
- .
day for Rogue River with a load of
lumlier, wa compelled to seek refuge
out of the wind liehind the shelter of
Tillamook head. She was anchored just
outide the breakers and the large Sun
day crowd at Seaside was considerably
worked up for awhile, thinking that
something had gone wrong and the
schooner would be washed upon tne
beach. At no time was the vessel in
danger and later in the evening was
reported to have lifted her anchors and
proceeded on down the coast
