The Condon Globe speaks slightingly
oi the fact that Colonel T. A. Houghton,
whose resignation as colonel of the third
regiment O. N. G., vaa placed in- the
hands of the adjutant-general three to
font months' ago, and who "now at a time
when he thinks he has a chance to win
some laurels, and become famous is urging
-,to recall- biq .resignation and continue as
colonel Now really some people can
be very small, without half trying. On
the face of it and to an utter stranger
j.the action of Colonel Houghton is com
..meiijiable and manly. He would with
draw,, his. resignation at a time when
vlthere was a probability that the third
, regiment, might hare a chance for act
uaj seryiee. A coward would have in-?
. sifted, on the acceptance of his resigna
tion to-escape the dangers of real war.
.nlt is not often men are held up to ridi
isjCPW for oflering their services in defence
riof then-country but, as we said . before
there ar,! some very small people in the

The veteran traveler, Paul du Chaillu,
has explained why he abandoned Afri
Nsan' exploration. Upon one of his jour
neys in the dark continent the chief of
the territory through which he was
passing greeted him with distinguished
consideration. He even brought out a
row of 853 comely negro maideaa invit
ing Chaillu to take his pick for a wife.
"I told him," said the traveler, after
ward, ?'that the proof of his' good will
overpowered me, but that I was afraid
to choose one lest the others might be
jealous. The chief pondered a moment,
then exclaimed : 'Well, friend, take 'em
all.'. Then I fled."
Every producer of lumber in. the
northwest is interested in the effort now
being made by the democratic majority
in congress to have lumber put on the
free list This is not politics,' it is busi
ness ; it affects the bread and butter of
thousands in Oregon and Washington,
and if the attempt be successful it will
paralyze the lumber trade of the north
west. If the bill .introduced by. Con
gressman Dockery, of Missouri, becomes
a law, it will bankrupt. the lumbermen
of the northwest, and depreciate the
.value of every acre of timber land in
these states: It will put a premium on
Britieh Columbia lumber, and boom the
Canadian Pacific at the expense of
American roads and American interests
clear through. The Canadians could
afford to give the Missouri man $1,000,
000 to get this through and recoup
themselves the first "year. In the inter
ests of this entire section the Astorian
emphatically protests against bo suicidal
a measure. Astorian. .
CARRIED MESSAGES.
MESSENGER BOYS WHO HAVE AO
. QUI.RED FAME AND WEALTH.
Messrs. Carnegie. Oliver, Pitcairn, Me
- Cargo and Moraland Were .Voanptrl
In a Pitt aburg Telegraph Office - To
gether How They Were Promoted.
The story of five messenger boys be
gins in the early days of telegraphy. In
a dingy office in Pittsburg, about 1848,
Andrew Carnegie, Henry W. Oliver,
Robert Pitcairn, Major William C. More
land and David McCargo were messen
gers, it is said that they took the oppo
site of other boys and spent their spare
moments in learning useful lessons. An
drew Carnegie is the oldest of the lot,
and he was the smartest, leading all in
learning how to telegraph. He was one
of the first operators in the country to
learn to take the Morse system by sound,
which in . those days was considered a
remarkable achievement. U did not
take Thomas A. Scott long to snatch
Mr. Carnegie from the telegraph office
in Pittsburg hito. fats office as private
secretary when the great railroad genius
took charge of the Pittsburg end of the
road.. -The education the young Scotch
man received from a greater mind rifted
him from a secretary's seat into the
place of : division- superintendent when
Mr. Scott was made "vice president of
the railroad. The industry, the subtle
cunning and. watching faith of Scott
taught him to lay his lines in other di
rectidns than- watching the 'divisions of
a railroad, and Scott helped him. His
place gave him the opportunity to look
into other lines of industry, and he drove
a drift into an iron mill. His pickax
was not large, but his cunning and thrift
made up for the size of his ax. J. Edgar
Thomson, who was the president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, then -gave a
great name and money to the works now
dominated by Mr. Carnegie. At that
time Colonel Scott was a power in the
nation as well as the railroad, and Car
negie began to gather wealth.
MR. CARNEGIE'S EARLY AMBITION.
My ambition in those days." he said
recently, "was to write for newspapers.
1 took in material in that direction
whenever it was possible. I haunted the
public library in Alleghany, and caught
on to the fact that a distinction was
made by the attendants between the
poor boys and the sons of. well to do
parents. It made me indignant. 1 wrote
my first public letter to the board of con
trol, and a change was ordered. This
result more than ever resolved me to fol
low journalism, but an accident drifted
me elsewhere, and I became a manufac
turer." Thrift and industry were the derricks
which lifted Harry W. Oliver out of the
telegraph chair next to Mr. Carnegie,
and made him a clerk for a big iron firm.
He is an Irishman, with a head full' of
cunning abont the business economies of
life. It did not take long for him to re
alize the possibilities of the- iron trade,
and one day a slick working block and
tackle hoisted him out of his seat at the
desk in the big firm's workshop and
landed him in a business that has since
grown to be one of the greatest .concerns
in the world. He has grown very rich,
and one railroad and seven manufactur
ing concerns now feel the touch of his
hand. .
Another Scotchman of the famous five
is Robert Pitcairn, who 6its in the seat
once occupied by Colonel Tom Scott and
Mr. Carnecrie. Ha went fWm a tlr,i.
chair into the railroad business, and he
has been a master m all the best condi
tions of railroad life. Hil timnvti'Tnoa
a millionaire, but he lives for his rail
road, although interested, like Mr. Oli
ver, in many laree manufacturing en
terprises. He does the work nt hnnt
three men every day, and takes recrea-.
non oniy wnen lie wants to talk with a
big friend or indulge with his country
men in the melodiea of .Kr-ntlunrl - He
has denied himself promotion msnv
times, because he likes to vWtht to relo
cation where he began as a messenger
boy and has had so many triumphs. '
A TRIUMPH IN TELEGRAPHY.
The fourth member of the group is
David McCarco. the srenern.1 mn.na.iwir of
the Alleghany railroad. His stronsr
Scotch character lifted him into big
railway concerns early. He left the
telecrranh offir- aoon hHat rho nthu K.
and took a place on the railway. .
-xmnK ot it," said Major William P,
Moreland, the last, but not least, of the
rainous nve. "I stood at the key with
Carnegie, Oliver, Pitcairn, McCargo, and
heard the first message pass over the
wires that was sent between thn north
and south. James D. Reid. who wan
general superintendent; David Brooks,
now living in rmiaaeiptua, and Jackson
Duncan, of Cincinnati, had chanra of
the experiment. We had to work on
short circuits in those da vs. and we
thought it was imnowiihln to oan1 & mm.
sage to New York from New Orleans.
r-. , , . ...
orouiu ana r&eia wanted over and in
spected the line from the Crescent City
to Pittsbure. After arrivinc hora anil
assuring themselves that the line was
yei leci, vae euorx was oraered ana every
telegraph operator :on the line, and in
fact the whole country, was waiting in
suspense to know the success or failure
of the effort. Every magnet was ad
justed, and every electrician on the line
stood at his key listening for the result.
At the signal New York called Philadel
phia; the Quaker City . signaled Harris
burg, and then in quick succession Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Louisville and New
Orleans were opened to the metropolis.
No one drew a breath scarcely until the
tick came, and in a minute an unbroken
message was sent between the north and
south. That may seem primitive in
these days, when there is no measuring
electric power; but then it was the talk
of the nation. This is a bit of untold
history;' but 1 shall never forget that
hour. New York Sun.

A gentleman from Echo says that
farmers there will make an effort to se
cure the services of Melbourne, the rain
maker, who was unable to make a con
tract with the Umatilla county farmers'
alliance. Melbourne agrees to make two
good rains for $700, and a subscription
will be circulated to raise that amount.
The rain comes high but the farmers
feel that they must have it, and will in
voke Melbourne, who is running opposi
tion to Ju biter. ""
The Salvation Army has beeii estaV
usnea in jBuue ior one year, and in a-
ummary of what it has done, the later-Mountain
states that it'has enlisted
180 men who one year ago were in the
slams and gutters, but who now lead
honorable and industrious lives. This
is a record of which the army may well
be proud, and the incident goes to show
that the Salvation Army, besides being
the butt of many a joke, is capable of
doing some good.

the gentle Samaritan. "Pieces of him
