Press Dispatches.
Owing to the pressure of Mr. Gourley's !
private business he has resigned his pos- I
ition as editor of the Chboncms. He is j
u writer of more than average ability, i
. m , . . , . V ;
and has been of great service during the
Dast three months to the paper. The i
what - i

The Salem Journal is reading is read- .
ing the riot act because the conntv court i
of Marion county has refused to award
. i
xne publication 01 uie county conunis-
having the largest circulation. The
Journal plainly intimates that the court
has matters which it wishes kept secret
or the printing would be awarded. We
are glad to say that Wasco county has a
wise and enlightened official in Judge
Thornbury, who held that the new law
went into effect on July 1st, and he with
the consent of the commissioners,
awarded the printing until the first of
January. There may possibly be some
question as to the legality of so doing,
but there is no question but what the
people should have complete knowledge
of the action of its board, and the only
way to make that known is by publica
tion of proceedings in some paper of gen
eral circulation, and the Chkonici.k
thinks the end jnsifies the means. The
court is to be commended for its action.
An exchange that a few days ago rec
ommended the legislature of Ixiuiniana
to grant a charter to the infamous lot
tery company on condition that the
company loan the money it gets from
suckers, to the farmers of the state, is
out in its last issue with a learned hom
iletic on the wickedness of physical un
clean ness and the best method of "exter
minating bed bugs, and then winds up a
long paragraph with the following pro
uunciauiento: "To kill the bed bugs
and mosquitos is a crime only ignorance (.
would perpetrate!"
An attractive voung married woman
from Texas recently arrived in
jew
" I
York and inadvertently started out on
the street without an escort. She was
oon accosted by one of the gilded youth
who haunt the thoroughfares in (Jothani.
. She did not articulate, but responded by
lifting a silver-handled umbrella and
bringing it down on the occiput of the
impertinent young man with a sounding
thwack. Females from the Ixme Star
state evidently know how to dispose of
the masher nuisance with neatness and
dispatch.
Mr. A. Lytle, in . coming from The
Dalles, happened to be coming down the
Deschutes grade at the time of the re-
cent water-snout at that place. He says
it was appalling. The water came down
in torrents and large rocks rolled down
into the road from the sides of- the can
yon, while the water fell so rapidly that
it filled his wagon bed, damaging his
freight to some extent. Mr. Lytle says
he would not like to again pass through
such an experience. Ochoco Review.
Allen C. Mason, of Tacoiua, has re
ceived his 4,000-year-old mummy from
Egypt. It is now time for the Seattle
papers to say something about the eter
nal fitness of things which sent the
mummy to a nice, quiet, soothing place
like Tacoina.
The Lake County Examiner's Fourth
of July edition comes out in glowing col
ors, the outside being printed in red and
the inside in blue. It presents a neat

' The small fry politicians are haying a
good deal to say about who ia to receive
the presidential nomination next year;
but the big fellows, those who really
control things, are keeping silent in
seven languages on the subject. '
A lot of railroad spikes, which have
been lying in a vacant lot near the depot
at Centralia since last summer, and
which belonged to G.- W. Hunt, are to
be sold by the sheriff to satisfy a judg
ment of 643. The spikes are said to be
worth anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000.
The Spokane Review says that if Em
peror William should visit the United
States he would find enough of his coun
trymen here to make the surroundings
seem homelike.
Chicago wants the national conven
tions next year. St Souis is also putting

thinks she ought to have them.

BONDED ISDEBTEUSES.
The custom followed by many of the j
virilities of the neighboring state of
j Washington in bonding their indebted
i nee, has its merits, says the Jackson-
ville Times. It relieves the present
: generation from bearing alone the bur-
den of developing the country, and
, ....!.. :
"jKes posterity, or us njunnicui,

of making current county warrants pass
at their face value instead of at a ruin-
ously heavy discount to which they are
often subjected under the system followed
in this state, and the county derives a
direct benefit from the fact for all ser-
vices rendered it gets the lienefit of ac
tual cash rates and cash competition.

WALLPAPERS.
Valuable Point A Lout tliw Interior Deo.
orMtloH of Your Hon
There is no excuse at present for -the
use of a gaudy, ugly wallpaper. Excel
lent, tastef nl designs can be. found at a
low price. Do not 'attempt .V niggard
economy in this matter. Few rooms re-,
quire more than ten. rolls of papir. many
much !es: and there is often only the
difference of five or tea cents on a roll j
in the price of a pretty or a cheap, ugly j
pattern. A beautiful paper for ordinary j
use can be purchased at twenty-nve
cents a roll, and if properly cared for
will last many years. The laborer who
hangs it should not charge over ten or
twelve cents a roll. It is the fancy of
the hour to use a wide border or frieze,
varying from eighteen inches to twenty
two in width, at'! usually wide enough
to cover the sp.-icft from the tops of the
doors and windows to the ceiling. This
frieze is usually separated from the main
body of the-paper by a narrow picture
molding.
This molding costs about eight or ten
cents a foot, put up- The paperhanger !
can do it, and it is much better to let
him. as the carpenter, thoxigh he may do
it as well, may not be so careful ' not to
injure the new paper in the process. An i
amateur could probably learn easily to j
put up this molding. It is put up with
brads, but care must be btken not to
nick or scratch it in putting it np. as it
is already .finished in gilt or natural
wood stain. When purchased already
finished the picture molding costs much
less than when the carpenter makes it,
and finishes it on the wall, as is some
times done.
A picture , molding properly put up
will last as Inn:; as the house. In nar-
lnrs. whm iVlinate nintnreK in Hwlr nnil
white or water wiU h a
a mIJ Pilrior a cartridge paper will
probably give more satisfaction. Choose
one brownish terra cotta, robins'
eSS bine or silvery olivine gray, and
have the frieze above it of a lighter tint,
stenciled off with a pattern in black or
gold or silver, and separated bv a gilt, or
i cases an ebony picture molding.
qniTO , ),,)... f

De monotonous, r&emember tnat it is
an artistic rule that the base of a room
should be darkest.
Where there is a dado used, it is al
lowable to use a heavy dark color: never
a pronounced color, as such shades are
utterly out of place on the wall. The
middle space of the wall should be a
medium shade, the frieze should be sev
eral tints lighter and the ceiling should
be still lighter. Where two colors .tie
used, one for the main wall and another
for the frieze, the colder color should be
used a 1 xive. Thus, in a iedrooin papered I
: with palest rose and bine, the blue shonld ;
! be used for the frieze and the warm color !
; below; and the two inay lie separated by
: an ebony or ivory and gold picture
; molding.
The dado and frieze are not often used
j together now, except in houses where it
is desirable to "bring down the ceiling
and make the walls appear lower. They
are more often seen in halls or dining
rooms than anywhere else. It is quite !
cartridge paper printed in stenciled pat
terns. The hand painted stencil work
would of course be expensive if a pro
fessional worker was engaged to do it;
As a rule, it is better to ciioose the up- j
I holstery of a room in contrasting rather i
i than in similar colors, so as to avoid a
monotonous effect in color. In a draw-
ing rooin more delicacy of color is allow-
able than in other rooms, and bright col- ;
ors are introduced in bric-a-brac orna
ments, in wall curtains and in other
decorative ways. New York Tribune.
A Korowken Dog and Puir of Cuffs.
"You needn't tell me," remarked
Lewis A. Rice, son of the late John A.
Rice, "that dogs can't reason. There's j
my bull terrier Jack. I'll bet a hat he j
known as much as anybody, and 111 tell
you a story to prove it. A year or two
ago 1 went away from, home, leaving
room and found there a pair of my cuffs,
which had been forgotten. These he
carried off and secreted, and then came
back and ate a square meal When he
had satisfied his hunger he got the cuffs,
put his paws on them and went content
edly to sleep.
"For weeks he carried those cuffs
with him wherever he went, and nobody
could get them away from him. At last
somebody did steal them, and Jack re
fused to eat and moped around disconso
lately. Then he found them again and
was happy. Now, 1 say that shows that
Jack . has. the faculty of reason. He
knew those cuffs belonged to me, and as
his affection for me was great they com
forted him a little in his sorrow at my
absence." Chicago Post.

A theatrical manager has a big con
tract on his hands in this age when he
starts out to produce a. new play. The
expenses are enormous. "Salaries, " said
one of them, "are in individual cases
higher than ever before. The companies
are larger and the scenery is simply ter
ribly costly. We put on scenery ' now
which would have made managers stand
aghast in the old days. Transportation
runs up another big account and there
are a thousand and one necessary items
to swell the total. if a play is a failure
it does not take long to sink a fortune in
it. It makes a manager turn pale to go
into his theater and find rows of vacant
seats grinning at him. He knows that
means 'stop!' and he can't afford to wait
very long for the tide to turn." New
York Tribune.
