- John Kootk.
The name of John Boooh haa become
as familiar to the readers of the Chron
icle an that of William McKinler. The
Teason is John Booth believes in print
er's ink. The reason it John Booth
finds that printer's ink pays. John has
proved it and the proof of the pudding
is the eating. Three years ago- John
started a little one horse green grocery
store in partnership with John Kirby.
The firm of Booth & KLrby did well, as
many another firm has done by minding
its own business. Both members of the
firm were -'young,' energetic. ..: steady,
sober, economical and obliging. They
made money and six months ago' the
partnership was dissolved, John hav
ing an ambition to embark in the regu
lar grocery business for himself. He
found a store to suit him in No. 62 Sec
ond street and having got the front of it
painted a gorgeous red, he filled it with
goods and there you will find him at all
reasonable hours of business. But John
Booth is not running an ordinary grocery
store any more than be is running it in
air ordinary way.' He seems to. have
made it a principle to keep the very best
0 everything in his line believing that
the wisest housekeepers are always wil
ling to pay a good price for a superior
article. Not that he has not the cheaper
grades of goods for those -who want
them, for he has, but if he can sell you
a, coffee that, is cheap at 25 cents a pound
he can sell you some that is cheaper still
at 50 cents. If he has some customers
who want tea at 25 cents a pound there
are others who are willing to pay five
times that sum and so with all tho rest.
To a stranger the one special feature in
the store that is more striking than any
other is the immense variety of canned
goods that fill the shelves. Done up in
bottles and cans and jars of most attract
ive form and shape there appears to be
everything needed to tickle the palate of
the epicure or supply the requisites of a
well filled larder. Almost every country
on the globe pays tribute to John Booth's
store. ,. . . : , ... .
Here are pickles and chow chow, and
curry powder and olives, and Piccalilli
"and olive oil and pickled onions and
Worcestershire sauce and. cocoa and salt
and gelatine and pulm pudding from
England. Caper sauce, and sardines, and
olives and peas and mushrooms in bot
tles, and mustard and citron, and seed
less raisns and soap - from. France.
Pepper and cinnamon and allspice and
nutmeg and mace and cassia and nr. st
ard and cayenne and ginger from South
America and the islands of the Southern
Sea; Pine apples from the Bahamas.
Cheere from " Switzerland. ' Herrings
from Deutchland. Extract of beef from
Germany. Lemons from Cicily. Coffee
from Java and Costa Riea and Salvador
from Cuba. Bananas from the Sand
wich Islands. Teas from China and
Japan. Cocoa, nuts from- India and
Vermacilli and Macaroni from the land
of the Dago. But John Booth believes
in patronizing our home industries as
well. Hence, we find on his shelves the
Columbia ' Packing Company's lard;'
Warner's butter, and potatoes and eggs
and apples, and dried fruits, and par
snips, and carrots, and cabbage, and
onions, and 'beets, and turnips, and
celery, and' garlic,. and horse-raddish
the products ofjthe farmers of Wasco
county. But our limits forbid a longer
description of this model grocery . store.
The application of the whole, -is .this :
If you want anything in the line of fine
groceries that you cannot find elsewhere
in, The Dalles, go to John Booth.
The Pendleton Alliance Convention..
From Seth Morgan, who attended the
late meeting of the Farmers' - Alliance
held at Pendleton, we learn the condi
tions, under which Melburn, the Aus
tralian artificial rain maker, proposes to
produce rain in Eastern Oregon. Mel
burn wants $750 for making the test and
$200 against the expenses of himself and
another man. . Mr. Morgan has shown
us a blank copy of . the agreement that
Melburn wants the alliance to sign, but
we notice that Melburn, is very careful
about making any condition as' to the
amount of rainfall he proposes to pro
duce. As far as the agreement is con
cerned' any quantity that could be
legally called "rain" would meet its con
ditions and yet it might not be of the
least service in the world to the farmers.
rne alliance will tnereiore demand a
contract that will keep themselves safe
on this and other conditions as well and
they have written Melburn to this effe :t.
it wui oe jufct as wen it tne alliance is
very careful about signing contracts of
this kind unless they have, and know
they have, a dead sure thing.
At the January term of countv courts

NOTES ABOUT WEATHER VANES.
. - .
Carred Wooden Vane Went Oat with
Figureheads In Snips.
When the Phoenician sailor stuck a
needle through the fitem of a feather and
held it out in the wind, he invented the
first weather Vane, or feather vane. H
was nearly equaled by the Indian boy,
who was taught to moisten his finger in
bis mouth and to hold that finger aloft
fa the air. When that finger grew cold
on a certain side the Indian child knew
that the wind came from that particular
direction." The - Phoenicians, however.
were probably the first of all civilized
peoples to put the vane of feather into
practical use. - - :
' Since those early days weather vanes
have been used in every form and by all
races. : Modern vanes;' in their present
shapes' " were - first made ' of ' wood by
traveling carvers and later of copper
by tinkers and smiths. They were used
on . poles, churches, . public buildings,
ships and were placed on rocky points of
land along the Beashore. ' They are now
made in every conceivable design and
pattern. Horses, cows, deer, eagles,
ships, roosters and even pigs are ham
mered out in copper and used to register
the direction of the wind.
The- newer vanes have rain cups at
tached for catching water- during a
storm. The. amonnt of water that falls
is measured by the square inch in a tube
under the vane. . Wind gauges also are
attached. These indicate the speed of j
the wind. The gauges are small cups
hung sideways to the vane. The wind
blows them around in a circle and the
revolutions are registered by electricity.
Nearly all the large weather vanes in
town are. connected with dials in the
buildings below. -: - ' -
. That dial is round, like tiie.f ace of a
clock, lettered like a compass, and a re
volving hand shows the action of the
wind on the vane overhead. Vanes are
no longer set in sockets, as it is nearly
impossible to keep them properly oiled.
They are hung loosely, like a cap on aJ
1 1 at 1 n j a At 1
hangs over the head of the pivot, cover
ing it from rain and rust.'
One of the largest vanes ever seen in
New York was. placed on the postofflee
about fifteen years ago. It was so large
that it was ' considered unsafe and was
taken down. - A good drawing of it is
still in existence. The arrow, scroll and
banneret seerxf to be the favorite shapes
in vanes at present. The fence jumping
horse and the plow are yet found on the
grounds where-country fairs are held,
but they are not in great demand. The
tobacco leaf vane is found largely in the
south and in Connecticut. The spread
eagle nnd running deer are wind signs
in the western states, the deer more par
ticularly in Canada. Malt barrels in
copper are placed ou breweries through
out the country. New York Recorder.
TJm Hlitturr of Tweed,
I had not been many weeks in Edin
burgh Iwfore one of. my fnenda in tlu
cloth trade wrqto . me-, from London in
quiriuji about a -'coarse -avoolen black
and white checked stuff, sii-.ido in Scot-,
land and expected to be wanted for
trousers," and- asked me to. send some
patterns of . it. , This was easier asaed
than performed, for at that poriod shep
hefds checks were only made- ia plaids,
or mauds with borders and fringes. I,
however, contrived to cut a small piece
from the seam of my brother's cloak and
forwarded it. The postage in those days
cost 2s. 3d., aa the small pattern consti
tuted my note a double letter. - .
iU. -.
whafr he vaunted, ' and asked me to for
ward him half a dozen pieces, but at
that time t&o not believe there was one
piece in all Scotland I I, however, soon
got them made, and I believe these were
the first Scotch tweeds that were sent to
London in bulk. My friend was in a
position to introduce them into influential
quarters, which he did successfully. In
creased orders followed rapidly, and he
and the firm I. am connected with. had
almost a monopoly of. the-trade in Lon
don in these goods for a considerable
time. Border Advertiser.
