It is not pauper labor that we have so much to fear as the pauper patriotism that we import. So between the lines of red, white and blue streaming to the winds, let there be inscribed in letters that can be read across the seas : "This is the flag of the American union. He who enters here leaves all other flags be hind." Washington J?ost. We saw this morning in the office of Haworth & Thurman a neat thing in the way of an electric dynamo and a motor, It weigh 8 less than 100 pounds and is compact enough to be almost enclosed in a lady's bandbox. It is capable of pro ducing six lights of sixteen candle power each and attached to a proper current will generate equal to a half horse power. It is one of the Edison patents and will no doubt be a great curiosity when set to work to produce light or power. We saw this morning in the hands of The Dalles agent of the Northwestern Life Insurance company, of Milwaukee, Thos. A. Hudson, a check on the Mer chantile National bank, of New York, for $2,539 being the full amount of in surance on the life of the late Chas. E. Dunham, held by him in that company." It is just sixteen days since proof of Mr. Dunham's death left this city.. He had at the time of his death policies amount ing to (11,500 and we believe this com pany has the honor of being the first to settle. - The catch of salmon in the Columbia remains light. Reports from down the river place the average catch per night at five fish per boat. The largest amount packed by any canner. so tar as heard from is 125 cases, by a man who . has twenty-five boats out. Fishermen are anxiously awaiting a rise in the river. "There are very few salmon being caught between here and Oregon . City, and dealers find it impossible to obtain enough to supply the local demand, "and have given up shipping altogether. The April run of salmon is never counted on much bv cannery men, but it is very sel dom that the market is not well supplied From our Wamic. Correspondent. , " . Wamic, Or., April 23. 1891.

Master Hugh i razer will make the closing speech. Colonel Vilas and the Farmer. Colonel William F. Vilas, of Wisconsin, was traveling from Madison to Chicago. Colonel Vilas has some reason to believe that every one in the state of Wisconsin knows him. Perhaps, also, he baa heard of those statesmen and politicians whose wonderful memory for faces and names made them popular with the masaes. At any rate it was apparent that he was going to see how it worked, and II it was not a success in one ictance it can hardly be said to be the fault of Colonel -Vilas. He entered the smoking car a few miles oat from Madison and recognized the man in the first seat behind the stove. He shook hands with him and asked after the vari ous members of his family. Then be pa&sed on to tne next, nu inquiries here were a trifle hazy, but the man evidently knew Colonel Vilas and was flattered. That em boldened the senator to go on; in (act he was afraid to stop lest he should offend some one. . . Near the center of the car was an old man with gray chin whiskers, a far cap and top boots, who was an interested spec tator of the proceedings. When his tarn came Vilas shook him warmly by the hand and asked bow everything was at the farm. The man grunted something in reply and the colonel passed on. After he had . left the car the old man turned to a neighbor and asked: "Who's that blamed idiot f" "What," cried the man addressed. "Don't yon know him?" "Never saw him before." , "For heaven's sake, where do you live?' "Madison." "And don't know Colonel Vilas?" The old man roused himself a little. "Oh, that BiU Vilas, is it?" he said. "No, I never saw him before, and what in thun der does he want to make a pump handle out of my arm for?" . "Why, he's been elected senator." "Humph!" grunted the old man. "I sup pose that's why he asked me about my farm." "What's the matter with that?" "Nothing, except that I don't own farm and never did." And so Colonel Vilas' diplomacy went for naught. Chicago Tribune. The Eyes of Watchmakers. Some time ago the .. Breslau oculist, Dr. H. Cohn, on examining the eyes of seventy- five watchmakers, found that scarcely per cent, of the number were affected with shortsightedness, which result seemed to justify the belief that the use of the loupe was an excellent protection against myopia. The same oculist examined the eyes of fifty watchmakers in a Frierburg watch factory, who had for years, without using a loupe, worked the fine parts of watches, and of whom, nevertheless, only two were slightly shortsighted. " From this Dr. Cohn concludes that watchmaking is an industry not injurious to the eye, while, considering tbe fact that his extensive examinations among stu dents had established an average of 50 per cent., among compositors of 51 per cent., and of lithographers of 37 per cent., afflict ed with myopia, he comes to the conclu sion that reading, writing, composing and drawing are more injurious to the eyes than the constant exercise of the visual or gan in connection with fine stationary ob- The past week has been little more brisk in trading circles, and there has been more activity on the streets, and a better feeling has" prevailed throughout since last report. Our produce market is quiet, no changes to record in prices. In the wheat markets, tbe past week has shown activity and an advance is noted. The Easlerh and European markets are more or lees excited, owing to rumors afloat j that there are to be European troubles across the Rhine, and that already there is ah outlook for short crops in France and other parts of Europe. The present indications are that wheat will be "in better price than it was last year,, as London predictions are that there will be a shortage of 125,000,000 bushels over the preceeding year ; how true this may be, time will tell. "" . Wool has commenced to arrive, and the very excellent staple of samples which are received indicate : a superior product and reports are favorable for the largest wool clip this season, ever brought to market. Undoubtedly from'5,000,000 to 8,000,000 pounds will find a market in this city this year. - The Dalles having established the fact in the past years that it is the wool cen ter of Eastern Oregon, and also that wool buyers can get any quality or quan tity, has made it the wool market for the seller and the buyer. This season will see a larger number of wool men in this market, than formerly, as there will be a larger quantity in store than ever before. As yet, no market price is named but bur small lot that came, in, 15 cents per pound was offered and was refused.- We look for sharp competition as soon as the season is fully opened.
