EASTERN OREGON WOOL PRO-
f. DVCT.
B. S. Pague has just furnished the
Oregonian with- some valuable statistics
of the wool products of the counties
bordering on the Columbia east of the
Cascade mountains. He repeats the
well known fact that "The Dalles is the
largest wool growing delivery point in
America." In the year 1888 the Moody
warehouse handled 3,000,000 pounds of
5,000,000 pounds shipped from this
point. Last year, notwithstanding the
heavy mortality among sheep during the
winter of 1889-90, the shipments from
The Dalles, Arlington and Heppner are
placed at a total of 6,316,720 pounds
while the winter loss of sheep is esti
mated at 220,000 head representing a loss
in wool of possibly . 1,540,000 pounds
more. Mr. Pague, supposes that these
estimates represent, in a fair degree, the
wool clip of Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam,
Morrow, Grant and Crook counties.
These estimates are certainly under
rather than over the true facts. Mr.
Pague's investigations have confirmed
all previous reports to the effect that the
coming wool clip will probably be the
largest that Eastern Oregon has ever
een, while the quality of the wool
promises to be the very best. It would
seem that the wool industry was never
in a more promising condition than it is
at present. "Better prices for wool are
expected this year for several reasons
the new tariff", cleaner wool and better
quality." Mutton sheep are higher
than we have ever known theiu to be in
a residence of seventeen years on this
coast. Mr. Pague reports the sale of a
band of 4o00 (70 per cent, wethers and
30, per cent. Jewes) in Gilliam county
for $2.85 a head to be delivered at the
corral, after shearing, about May 1st.
Mr. Pague winds up lus article with the
following: "A good range, healthy
bands, excellent lambing season, good
quality of wool and plenty of it, all tend
to make the wool clip of 1801, now pro
greasing, one of the most successful for
many years."
DO NOT ATTEMPT TOO MUCH.
Two million dollars is a whole lot of
money and we greatly fear that the at
tempt to raise so large an amount for
improving the Columbia niay in the end
result in nothing at all being done. It
would be far better not to attempt so
much at the first especially when a. very
effectual manner of relief can be afforded
by a comparatively small snm. The
most important obstruction in the whole
river that requires to be overcome is be
tween this city and Celilo. A road built
from The Dalles to Grants on the Oregon
side would connect the upper and middle
river and afford immediate and valuable
relief. The products of Sherman county
could be shipped on the cars at Grants
or Biggs and be carried to Portland or
Astoria by the boat service on the mid
dle and lower river. The long dry per
iod in the fall is peculiarly favorable for
carrying wheat and other products on a
cheap system of flat-boats if the steamer
was found inadequate to handle all the
freight offered as it certainly would be.
Add to this a boat or two additional on
the upper river and we have a system
that would give immense relief and the
whole need not cost probably over 500,
000. If Portland wants an open river
she could soon raise this amount, whereas
if two millions are attempted to be,
raised before anything is done the chan
ces are people will get discouraged at
the magnitude of the -sum and do noth
ing at all. The ram of $500,000 judic
iously expended as above outlined would
do more for Portland and Eastern Ore
gon than Hunt's two million subsidy for
a road on the Washington side.
'Fiction la Often Stranger Than Truth."
From the Atlanta Oohstltutioti?
The biggest story of ithe season comes
from Lincolntown. W. T. Murray, who
is a merchant of that place, says that
while he was a soldier in Virginia he
came across . a .farmer who had just
housed a crib of popcorn, and pretty soon
after the hands had left the crib it caught
fire and every grain of the corn popped,
and very soon the whole plantation was
covered with the white corn. A mule
about twenty-eight years old, which was
in a-barn near by, saw the ground
covered with the white corn, and though
the thermometer registered 90 degrees in
the shade, the mule froze to death, think
ing that it was a terrible heavy snow.
"I have tried many ways of getting
ahead,'' writes a subscriber. "Can you
give me some advice?" Why don't you
try mixing your drinks?
Nothing of note has been done vet to'
ward raising the money to construct a
portage railroad between The Dalles and
Celilo, and to put a line of steamers on
the upper and middle Columbia, ' for
which purpose the Oregon, Washington
& Idaho- Railroad and Transportation
Company was organized at a recent
meeting of delegates from all parts of
the Northwest. The articles of incor-
E oration will be filed, aa soon as signed
y the incorporators, of whom there are
thirty-one, and as they live in three
states it will be sometime before all sign.
Oregonian.
We very seriously doubt, and it Is
with much regret that we say it, that
anything will soon be done in this mat?
ter. It does not agur well for the scheme
that the leading paper of the state and
of the city that would be benefited most
by an open river has treated this new
transportation company, ever since its
i nception , with remarkable coldness. It
was noticed as an ominous sign that at
the meeting held lately in Portland there
was a notable abeence of the leading
capitalists of the city. There is a marked
contrast in the present indifference
of the Oregonian compared with its in
tensity when the Hunt two million sub
scription was being raised. Then arti
cle after article appeared, urging the
people to subscribe. Now the paper
contents itself with little more than a
mere record of what has happened.
When the capitalists of Portland want
an open river real bad the Oregonian
will get" up and shake itself, and not till
then."
Indecent Literature.
Since Samuels, its founder, left the
West Shore it seems to have been rapidly
on the down grade, judging by some of
its productions. A certain Ella Hieeen-
son, conducts a department in that sheet,
and is growing to be a disciple of the
erotic very fast. The following ex
tract would be amusing were it not so
silly :

Betta' Cyclone Anninilstor.
Mr. Edward Daniel Betts is an artist
and a man with a sharp eyth Ha read
the other day about some hunter on the
plains who was pursued by a relentless
cycione. in sneer desperation the hunter
turned and fired his trusty, riflei. at. the
rapidly approaching funnel shaped cloudT
Instantly the wind began; to lose-its
nerve, and in less- than, a- minute, the
landscape was as beautiful as ' a day in
June. . -.
Mr. Betts shut himself up and wrestled
with the secrets of nature. At last he
struck pay gravel, and his patent is ap
plied for: .
"It is a large rubber ball filled with
gun cotton or dynamite" he explained.
"which will be hurled with terrific force
at tha advancing cyclone. The expen
sive will have a fuse to it which will be
ignited automatically."
He further explained that the propell
ing instrument was so arranged that it
always pointed at the cyclone. The ball
was thrown after the wind had attained
a certain velocity.
Mr. Betts. has had a great deal of
trouDle m arranging this last detail.
For he found that if he set it at too low
a notch the machine wonld go off in a
stiff breeze and throw the rubber ball of
dynamite over into a neighboring past
ure or down into a cow lot, doing great
and immediate damage to the cows with
out any material advantage. Then, again,
if the machine were set too high, it would
not get into active operation until after
the entire family had crossed the Dark
River and the cyclone was in the next
county. .
Mr. Betts says there is no question but
that a dose of dynamite will knock any
cyclone cold. The machines can be put
on a high pole out of the reach of goats
and children. Chicago Inter-Ocean. "
Terms That Really Mean the Same.
The English language must appear
fearfully and wonderfully made to a for
eigner. One of them, looking at a num
ber of vessels, said, "See what a flock of
ships." He was told that was a fleet,
and that a fleet of sheep was a flock,
and, it was added, for his guidance in
mastering the intricacies of our lan
guage, that a flock of girls is called a
bevy, and a bevy of wolves is called a
drove, and a drove of thieves is called a
gang, and a gang of warriors is called a
host, and a host of porpoises is called a
snoal, ana a shoal of buffaloes is called
a herd, and a herd of children, is called
a Mwp, ami a troop or partridges is
called a pack, and a pack of swans is
called a whiteness, and a whiteness of
geese is called a gaggle, and a gaggle of
brant is called a gang, and a gang of
uucks is called a team.
A team of widgeon is called a com
pany (or trip), and a company of teal is
called a flock, and a flock of snipe is
called a whisp, and a whisp of bitterns
and herons is called a sedge, and a sedee
of plovers is called a flock, and a flock of
larks is called an exaltation, and an ex
altation of beauties is called a galaxy,
and a galaxy of ruffians is called a horde,
and a horde of rubbish is called a heap.
and a heap of oxen is called a drove, and
a drove of blackguards is called a mob.

diers is called a corps, and a' corps of
sailors is called a crew, and a crew of
robbers is called a band, and a band of
bees is called a swarm, and. a swarm of
people is called a crowd. Ashton (Eng.)

She Was Heroic In Her Way.
A somewhat amusing incident oc
curred at an English provincial theater
during a performance of "Called Back."
Early in the evening an old lady took
up her seat in the balcony and concen
trated her attention on the play. When
Antony received his coup de grace at
the hands of Macari the lady became
very excited and fainted. She was
taken down to the vestibule, and on re
covery it was -suggested she should leave
the theater. This, however, she de
clined to do, being anxious . to . witness,
as she put it, "the beautiful play.".
She accordingly returned to her seat,
apparently well. The vision scene in
Act I next proved too much for her, and
again she fainted. Once more restora
tives were applied, and she declared her
intention of staying to the end. Nothing
occurred in Act H to arouse her sympa
thies, but the Siberian scene in Act HI,
in which Dr. Ceneri shuffles off the mor
tal coil, again upset her neves, and once
more she fainted. By this time the man
agement had had enough of the thing,
fcnd the old lady was sent away in a cab
to her residence, not far off. Jester.
, Shaving la DmufeiMi,
We have often heard that shaving the
face with a razor was a bad thing; that
it injured the nerves and caused weak
eyes; that it removed the natural cover
ing from the throat and neck, and that
altogether it was thoroughly, physiologi
cal. A writer in The Medical.. Classics
has been looking into this matter a little
more closely. By the aid of - a micro
scope applied to a closely shaven, face he
discovered that, the skin resembles . a
piece of raw beef. The razor removes
not only the hair, but also a portion 'of
the cuticle. "The blood vessels thus ex
posed are not visible to the naked eye,
but under the microscope each- little
quivering mouthTholds a 'drop, of blood.
The nerve hps are, also .uncovered and
the pores are left unprotected, making
the Skia tender and. unhealthy, and the
person is liable to have colds, hoarseness
and sore throat.
