Western Oregon and Washing- ton Rain. " TEE OREGON CONUNDRUM. The rteople at large are smiling, many . are laughing, at the coterie of Portland bankers, iho, on Monday night last, chartered a special train at the metrop olis, rushed to Salem at top speed, and beseeched the Governor for a five-day proclamation instituting a "legal holi day" in order that they might get a line on their call loans in the East and lighten-up a visionary stress in, the money-market hereabout; and who, within twenty -four hours from the ut terance of bis declaration in favor of their plea, opened up their banUs and began to do business, as though the Governor and bis extraordinary com- flfttnn vara nn. in jtvictonrwi . itl. i ii . j.ue uaiy inmg we Diame nis excel Jencj for is that he did not take time to consult some of the out-lying bankers of the state and satisfy himself that there was really something, beside the unaccountable timidity of a few Port : land financiers, to warrant such signal action or his part. However, he cannot be blamed with reason, since he believed ' he was doing a eafe and timely thing at the behest of representative citizens. What of blame there is in the premise, they must bear with what face they can. But we are making a side-bet, at "18 to 1," they, will aever trap him into like precipitation again. ' The news from the East is that things are fast becoming normal; the news from Portland id that things financial are normal there, with no sign of excitement or uneasiness; and things here are as quiet as they can well be, save for the general half-humorous, half-bewildered status evoked by the inexplicable action of the Portlanders, a condition matched all over the state by communities equally surprised and measurably amused. The result of the untoward movement of last Monday is the universal tying up of current busi ness and compelling the merchants a;.d dealers and business men to await the issue of Mondayi next, when, without doubt, the atmosphere will be pured v of all cause for conjectare and disad vantage in the prompt resumption of the common and authentic activities. 0 WHY NOT AT ASTORIA? Uncle Sam has just about determined that he is going to need new facilities on the Pacific Coast for docking, repair ing, equipping, and generally caring for the ships of the great fleet soon to be headed out here. He need not look far for an available site charged with all the rawi materials incident to such an enterprise, including easy access, fine harbor room, superb channel-ways, and the inseparable elements of safety and quick despatch. All he has to do is to nominate this port and harbor as the place and go ahead with his work. Aside from the natural essentials so complete and ready at hand here, he already has three forts in existence here, lacking nothing by way of invin cible protection except some additior.al men and supplies; and as for dock sites they are lying around loose all over the lower reaches of the Columbia River. We respectfully insist that this is the , best, in fact, the only admirable, plat on the upper coast, for such an estab lishment; and that if it is properly bandied by our jepresentatives in Con gress, the splendid advantage can be secured for the government and lor Oregon; and, incidentally for Astoria. -0 POSTAL EXPANSION. We are glad to note that the postmaster-general U to ' recommend the adoption of the parcels' post in this country, and that he may urge, in a limited fashion, the adopton of the pos tal savings bank. Both these steps have been needed in America for years, and will take readily whenever they are in augurated. They may interfere, at fust, with the express and banking systems at the are operated now, but in the end they will contribute mightily to the further success of those .organic phar of business, by creating an infinitely Nrcer clientelle in both departments of DO A CHEERFUL STUNT! When b doubt about anything that! cannot be explained jut at the moment, do the optomiftio thing and put it on a I cheerful level anyway! Do a cheerful foms a kind of mental cushion for the reactionary' blow when it does arrive! Good cheer has saved many a forlorn situation, and created many a new chance to recover from what looked to be irretrievable loss and discomfiture. Patience and courage and confidence have won more battles than steel and strategy ever engaged in; and theyi are. almost invincible qualities if they are ...iar...i. 1 . . cu.uvatea constantly as part ana par cel of one's philosophic armament, and are not left merely for adventitious re course at some especial crisis. Good cheer has a definite money-value if one hunt closely for it. It has a light all its own, whereby one may guide One's self, and others, to the blessed realities of achievement. It is a gracious! habit, and it grows like a weed when it is given a chance. Try it on, once; do a cheerful stunt and see where it enda! , We make too much of our doubta and disappointments and the dubious things of life; twe use our imagination far too much, and build far too hastily of flimsy materials such as fear, fool-questions. irritability, self-consciousness, alleged incapacity, and all the other agencies that make for defeat. Fight when you must; but laugh always, and if you can't laugh, smile! . 0 It may be libellous to call a Berlin aristocrat a rascal, but when it comes to considering whether or not it is true, the Berlin court decides it will have nothing to do with the case. .. . .i 0 1 Mayor JtcClellan's department heads will reluctantly consent to cut off some necessary appropriations provided the inflated salaries remain in the budget. -0 'Gov.

Substantial Frame House, Roomy and Well Arrantfed-Cost $2,500. Copyright, 100T. hy P. T. MicUltn, 60S Broad Street, Newark, N. J. Mrnnu' utfd Craae. Some Americans hare an odd craze for believing that the rightful heirs of British peerages are Americans "kept oat of their own." One of these queer people asks me whether Jemima, the heiress of the Mactlougal line of Earls of Tobermory, was not really a daugh ter of Queen Mary? Was not James VI. a son of fat old Lady Reres, not of Queen Mary? The present Duke of Tobermory is descended from the fifth son of the earl of 1715. But what be came of the fourth son? The peerages say that he died young without off spring. But did he not "escape to America," and is he not the Thomas Robertson who married a fair colonist in 1730, and is not a certain Robert Thompson the son of this Thomas Rob ertson, and are not his descendants earls of Tobermory and kings of Scot land? Will I not get at the family pa pers, now kept in Melrose abbey, and clear the matter up? The names I here alter, but al! this tissue of nonsense is solemnly laid before my reluctant eyes In the hope that some possible J. P. Robertson is Duke of Tobermory.

Burning the dead, as observed among the Yumas, is interesting. The body is first thoroughly wrapped and then placed on logs and brush over a hole In the ground. A bed of logs Is built up at each side an' at the head of the bier, which Is next covered over and strewn about with dry fagots. The flames are applied, and while they burn the clothing, blankets, etc., of the deceased are added to the fire. The horse of the dead man, however, Is not burned among the Yumas, as Is the custom with some Indians. A-day or two after death the wigwam of the de ceased, If an adult, is burned, the rest of the family then going to live with some relative. The Yumas make a great show of sorrow over their dead. Later they are never mentioned at IL J -Southern Workman. A Reliable Remedy lor croup. Mrs. S.
