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

who enters here leaves all other flags be

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 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

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

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.
