Abtorian savs that in Athena
Kastorn Oregon, silver is so scarce
that H on the $1000 in demanded
at the hank for exchange. John
Sherman wouldn't get a single
vote in Athena, Vet, it in said
there is '.oo much silver in the
country, remarks thu Kant Orego
niiiii. An Iowa iii.mi who could not
tnke time to answer the questions
of the census taker, in regard to a
mortgage on hit farm, hut who
found Hiillieieut time to write an
insulting letter to the superintend
ent of tiie census, liuds an oppor
tunity to comiiiuie more time and
irorhaps some money in getting
liis olfeiife clear of the courts.
Heing president of one of the
South Aiuurienn or Central Ameri
can states is not a very desirahle
job, it would Mieui, jet those who
get the job want to keep it an long
as possible. lhirrillas, president
of (iiiatemala, seems to he follow
ing closely in the footsteps of lial
iiiacedii, and may conclude to fol
low his example to the deadly end
if he gets as closely cornered.
Oregon will next year he greater
advertised than ever before. Thu
I'resbyterian general assembly and
the I. (). (). F. Sovereign (5 rand
lodge will be held in Portland and
be the means of bringing to thin
Oregon of outs mid the northwest
metri)olis thousands of litdlorr.
Portland is extremely fortunate in
bccuriug both of these great eon
ventious and the entire Mute will
protit by it.
A Valparaiso, Chili, cable says j
it is not generally believed the evi
dence of the feeling toward Ameri
cans will be kept up except on the
jiart of valiant K)lblowers, aided
by a few nowspuH;rs, and urged on
by th'j Mritish (dement, who are
absolutely inimical to the people
of the Tinted States. The linn at
titude of the I'uitetl States will
stop any uousciihc, especially if the
firmness is backed by the presence
of a few of thu white squadron.
The court martial trying Colonel
('oiuptoii, of the -I tit ( . S. Cavalry,
charged with not taking the proper
steps to prevent the hanging of a
gambler at Walla Walla by soldiers
of Ins command, round nun guilty
and some time ago forwarded its
findings to the president. On
.Monday of last week the chief ex
ceil thu passed upon the records of
the trial and approved the proceed
ing. The punishment indicted is
BusH!iibion from tank and com
mand on half pay for two years.
When Col iiuhus was made a
prisoner in San Domingo the gov
ernor who arrested linn feared
there might be an attempt at res
cue. So he trained a big gun on
thu entrance of the citadel, or cas
tle, in which Columbus was con
llncd. That cannon has lain in the
same place eer since until now,
when .Mr. Ober, a world's fair
representative, recovered it, and
with the permission of the gover
nor of San Domingo, brought it
to thu I'nited States. It has been
shipped to Chief of Construction
ISuruham in order that he may
use it in some way in ornamenting
the e.Hi8itiou grounds.
The Tillamook Headlight prints
a list of all taxpayers of that conn
ty who are assessed at SI, 000 or
over, accompanied by a double col
umn of ligurcs, the first column
denoting the full valuation of prop
erty assessed to each individual
und the second column being the
taxable remainder after indebted
uees and exemptions have been al
lowed. The exemption foriudebt
ednoss phafc of the assessment law
oftregon can bemiich better appre
ciated after glancing over this I itt.
A similar publication in every
county in the state might open the
eyes of a great many people.
AVhen every one fully understands
the uuvantago to oe ueriveu iroiu
beiuu in debt in this state, and all j
equally use their knowledge to re
duce their taxes, then, an J not till
then, a change may be hojwd for.

THE HEPPNER WAREHOUSE
Has been enlarged to accommodate
the increasing business. The wools
of this section which accumulate at
Heppner, attract all the leading
Western buyers to that point, and
make it the best market in which
the grower can dispose of his clip.
Last season over 1,000,000
pounds of wool was sold in Hep
pner at prices which averaged the
grower more clear money than was
realized by sales of similar wools
in other western markets more dis
tant from the manufacturing cen
ters ol the East.
Teamsters charges advanced on
written orders. Cash advanced on
wool in storage.
