An exchange cites the case of a miner in Pennsylvania who stole a box of axle grease and ate it as the most convincing proof of oppression in all this free coun- try. We don't see it that way.- The man may have been used to bad butter and preferred the axle grease or he may not have known the difference. We ,'have all heard of the darky who ate a box of axle grease thinking it was Lim- burger cheese and only objected to it be- cause it was "mighty strong." The foreman of the Wasco warehouse has one of the softest snaps in town, if he were only disposed to take advantage of it. In the cars furnished the ware house for the shipment of its stores are usually found a miscellaneous lot of pro- ducts, some of them useful and valuable .and some of them otherwise. This morning the writer saw as much as three or four wagon loads of straw, hay, and sawdust which had to be dumped out of a car, by the employes of the warehouse, before the car could be used. In a conversation with the foreman, that gentleman informed the writer that he has often dumped out of a car as muck as half a ton of coal. We advised him to buy a coal stove and lay by the coal for winter use, or start a hay, straw, sawdust and coal warehouse in connec tion with his other business. For Sale.

N : I t)olp!i on matters of general interest vt j tne people of this section. The senator commenced his remarks by referring to i the evidences of prosperity and growth and development he liad observed every where, on his trip from Portland to La Grand, as' well as in Portland and the cities of the Willamette valley. Twenty nine years ago he had passed the place where Baker City now stands, when it had not an inhabitant and camped on the site of La Grand, when it had only two shanties in the whole of that lovely valley. Portland had only: about 4500 ! inhabitants when he first came to reside there, now it is a great teeming, prosper ous city of 70,000 persons. He thought this northwest country and he saw no reason to doubt.that the next few years would see a great Influx of population. This country is practically the.last place in the United States for settlement and cultivation. The best parts of the Mis sissippi .valley have been already settled, and the country between there and Eastern Oregon is not adapted to a large population. A hundred years ago there was not a .white man on the Pacific coast from the Gu.lf of California to the regions of eternal ice. The senator gave some interesting fig ures showing the amount of appropria tions made for the improvements of our rivers and harbors,1 since, the year 1822. From that date to 1890 nolessthan $205, 753,330 had been expended, "Aiid jiearly hajf 0f tn;s 8um had been appropriated 8ince he took his seat in congress in 1883 tions secured last season for work in this j state amounted to $l,495,o00;. and this sum exceeded anv general appropriation.: .

He characteriited the man- , j ner in which the approjiriations are . rnailn uu n n Vmai ntiatiH Iro WAfcltAftll HT fl i riminHK Un,e8g 801Iiething unusual oueurrM he ho to Bectlrei nextseB8ion of congress, enough to complete, at least, one of the irreat works of the state and perhaps both. He had never opposed the building of a portage road by the state, but he did not believe that con gress would consent to build a jiortage road around the obstructions at The Dalles. The United States had never built a portage road. A railroad is not ; strictlv a river improvement To build such would be a new departure and 1 would be considered the entering wedge for others, like the camel in the tailor's j shop, once he got his head in it was I easy to get the rest.. He was not in j favor of a came. It would cost more than ten million dollars and could not be built for many year. A boat railroad was perfectly prac- I ticable and could be finished in one or two years at farthest ; large boats can be transported overland without injury. This fact is beyond question. A boat railroad, seventeen miles in length is now in course of construction and will soon be finished across the bay of Chig nesto. By its means large vessels will be lifted out of the Bay of Fundy and transported to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The estimated cost of such a road around The Dalles is $2,900,000. Referring to the matter that was uppermost in all minds, nau.ely, that of urging the com pletion of the works at the Cascades by the contract system. The senator read extract s from a letter of Major Handbury to the chief of engineers wherein the major deprecates the. idea on the ground that a dishonest contractor would have too many opportunities for. using .cheap material and doing poor work and that, as the government has every needed ap pliance and a well organized force for doing the work and is doing it honestly, economically and with all possible dis patch, consistent with the amount of money at its disposal, its officers should i not be set aside' to give way to an indi vidual, whose only merit might be that he thinks he can do it cheaper than the government and is willing to give bonds. The - senator referred to the difficulty likely to be encountered through the op position of the war department officers to any change "in the manner of com pleting the works, but promised to give the proposal his earnest and hearty sup port. AH other government works are conducted by the war department and it is difficult to secure a ruling' not : appli cable to all. In conclusion, the senator hoped that when his term in congress was over he might be able to take a boat at Pasco and sail down the river unin- teruptedly to Portland. At the close of the address, which occupied over an hour, a few questions were asked the senator by gentlemen in the audience and politely answered,lor, as some of them were of a delicate nature, politely evaded, the meeting separated.

In heartless Paris, which to foreign Seems made of mirrors, gaslight and dinplay, A splendid building's walls began to rise. Ascending stone by stone from day to day. High and more high the pile was bnilded well. And scores of laborers were busy there. When suddenly a fragile staging fell. And two strong workmen swung aloft in air. Suspended by their hands to one slight hold. That bent and creaked beneath their sudden weight; One worn with toll, and growing gray and old. One a mere boy, just reaching man's estate. Yet with a hero's soul. Alone and young. Were it not well to yield his single life. On which no parent leaned, no children clung. And save the other to his banes and wife? Be saw that ere deliverence could be brought The frail support they grasped must surely break. And in that shuddering moment's flash of thought He chose to perish for his comrade's sake." With bravery such as heroes seldom know, Tis right." he said, and loosing his strong grip. Dropped like a stone upon the stones below, -And lay there dead, the smile still on his lip.

Elizabeth Alters in Harper's Young People. How Ha Expreaaed It. In a thriving village of Oxford county are people who still enjoy relating a little' incident illustrative of the confusion likely to fall upon the stranger to our language who uses synonyms indiscrimi nately.
