A PLEA FOR AX EXTRA SESSION.
The Salem Journal is still earnestly
urging that Governor Pennoyer call a
special session of the legislature to make
an appropriation for a portage at The
Dalles. It contends, and very justly as
we think 'that there is not the least
possible show for an appropriation from
the national sroverninent for the work.
.jRoilroad building is a new departure
which congressional attachment to pre
cedent is not likely to adopt. Holman's
hostility to any new items of expendi
ture and a democratic congress anxious
-to make a record for economy, ftsinil in
' the way. The republican senate is
committed to a canal and locks partly
completed. Senator Mitchell is cham
pioning a boat railroad scheme in the,
senate and Binger Hetmann a portage
railroad in the house. Senator Dolph is
, urging a liberal appropriation for the
lower river. Paul Mohr has got the ear
of members of the house committee and
the Union Pacific influence is at work
everywhere all these conspiring cir
cumstances and conflicting combina
tions reduce the chances of an appropri
ation to a moral impossibility. Mem
while difficulties have arisen in connec
tion with the vicious pilot service at the
mouth of the Columbia. The last leg
islature put the business in the hands
of the Union Pacific taking it from the
pilot trust of Astoria. The hope that
the corporate interests of the Union
Pacific, -being identical with those of the
state, would be sufficient to secure good
service, was delusive. Scores of vessels
during the fall and winter remained
outside the bar for days and weeks for
lack of tugs to tow them in, and tens of
moueuucis ot dollars were lost in conse
quence to the people of the state, apart
from the immense damage done to the
commerce of the Columbia river. If
this state of affairs continue over
another season it will do so at a loss to
producers and shippers of a probable
half a million dollars. Again, an
appropriation is needed for the world's
fa! St "l : .. 1. ; . . . . i
ami ii viruii io ui gumg to oe me
jangning stocK ot tue whole nation. It
is perfectly evident that no adequate
amount can be raised by voluntary sub
scription by those who are liberal
enough to contribute, Nor should it be,
-as the exhibit would be a benefit to
every inhabitant of the state, and the
state Khouid therefore bear the burden
of it. But apart from the world's fair
we have a conjunction of circumstances
in the necessities ofthe Dalles portage
and the pilot service that make a de
mand Tor an extra session of the legisla
ture, with an occasion as great as per
haps ever occurred in any state in the
anion. ' An expense of $20,000 to $50,000
.incurred in effecting these i measures
would save to the producers of three
bh t?ny nan minion dollars.
Will Governor Pennoyer be equal to the
occasion? ' -
AFTER THE RING'S SCALP.
Unless we greatly mistake the mean
ing of words there is trouble ahead for
the chronic office seekers and perpetual
office holders of this county. The dem
ocratic club of Hood River, a large and
respectable body of independent demo
crats, held a meeting on January 30, at
which a series of resolutions was drafted
and endorsed "expressive of their views
and wishes in connection with the pres
ent status of 'democratic affairs in The
Dalles, and the immediate requirements
vui ytxi ,. t i , anw tajuutv. X lie
second of these resolutions reads thus:
"Retolred, That the powers that be,
to the best of our knowledge and belief,
are allied with m-re office seekers." The
third resolution says: . "This club from
its numerical strength and standing will
certainly make itself felt in the future
councils and conduct of the democratic
party in Wasco county." These resolu
tions can have onlv one meaning. The
club is sick of ring rule and chronic of--fice
seekers and office ' holders in the
democratic .party of "The Dalles and
Wasco county." The resolutions are
strictly confined to the club's "views
and wishes" in connection with home
affairs. There is no thought of national
affairs in the reference to the "powers
that be" and no reference to national or
even state affairs iu any of the resolu
tions. In this respect the resolutions
are clear and disunct and no other
grammatical construction can possibly
be pat apon them. The dab is after the
ring's scalp and they make no secret of
it. The Chronicle therefore heartily
Echoes the sentiments of oar democratic
contemporary the Wasco Sun when it
fays of 'the resolutions: ."They please
us immensely." The resolutions please
the Chronicle immensely. They man
ifest a sturdy independence and manly
assertion of the rights of American citi
zenehip that are highly commendable.
But they do more than this. They
warn the "ring," the "bosses," the
"mutual admiration society" .of The
Dalles, a set ot office holding barncales
who have parceled out and held in pos
session every lucrative office in Wasco
county for the last score of years that
their doom has come and that the Hood
River club will "certainly make itself
felt" in demanding a thorough reforma
tion. More power, to the elbow of the
Hood River club ; It will have the sym
pathy and cooperation of every inde
pendent voter in Wasco county.
A free trade contemporaty copies with
approval the following from the-Cath-lauiet
Gazette : "Times will be dull and
money, scarce' until our pe5ple wake up
to the fact that the importation of eggs
lrom iNebraeka and beef and butter from
Iowa drains our ready cash and leaves
us poorer after each shipment." But of
course we would get rich if we "drained
our ready cash" to pay for free lumber
from Canada and free wool from Aus
tralia and free manufactures from .Eng
land and continental Europe. It's a
poor rule that wont fit both cases.

ville's Til Its Best Days.
Den ver, Colo., Feb. 4. The. excite
ment at Creede, Colo., on the Rio
Graude railway, is intense. People are
flocking from all parts of the countrv
and a large city of rough board houses
has sprung up in a short time. The
mines are something; wonderful and al
most eqnal those of Leadville in its best
days. David H. . Moffat todav was
offered $1,000,000 by an English" com
pany to bond the Holy Moses mine at
Creede, but refused to do so. Since the
first prospect bole was started at Creede,
nine months ago, there has been $5,000,
000 worth of ore taken from the mines
there, although everything is new and
undeveloped as yet. Todav L. Dick
son, Henry R. Wolcott, of "Denver, Mr.
Ward, of New York, and Jake Saunders,
of Leadville, purchased a two-thirds in
terest in the Last Chance at Creede for
$100,000. This mine is shipping ninetv
tons of ore, a day, which averages $160
per ton. ; .

Valuable leostt-
One of the most remarkable of all de
posits of silver is at the Broken Hill
mines in Australia. At that place the
precious metal is found Xyraff iu an enor-'
mous lode.
It has been suggested by Mr. George'
Sutherland that this great deposit of
silver was left by a large salt lake that
has now disappeared, but tracks' of
whose former existence are clearly to be
seen. '
According to this interesting theory,
the salt lake was formed of imprisoned
ocean water, a large quantity of which
was caught in a basin between ranges
of hills when Australia was lifted out of
the" sea. This water gradually leaked
and was evaporated away, leaving de
posits of the mineral and other matter
that it had held in solution.
If this view is correct, the great store
of silver at Broken Hill is a rich gift be
stowed by the sea upon the land; but
man 'has discovered the precious deposit,
and seized it in his capacity of the lord
of the earth. Youth's Companion.
Whjr a Blue Rosa la Impossible.
A florist makes the assertion that -a
blue rose is among the impossibilities,
but, while an explanation of this vari
ous fact may be equally impossible, he
fails to mention a very interesting law,
which governs the colorings of all
flowers. A knowledge of this law would
save many flower growers hours of un
availing and foolish hope. The law is
.simply this: The three colors red, blue
and yellow never all appear in the same
species of flowers; any two may exist,
but never the third. Thus we have the
red and yellow roses, but no blue; red
and bine verbenas, but no yellow; yel
low and bine in the various members of
the viola family (as pansies, for in
stance), bat no red; red and yellow
gladolii, but no blue, and so on. St.
Lonis Republic. ..
The Pimpernel.
The common pimpernel, "poor man'B
weather glass," has the disadvantage
of being a native plant and has been al
most completely expelled from our
flower gardens in favor of exotics, which
are rarer but lack mnch of being as
pretty. The pimpernel is ' a charming
little flower, which opens about 8 in the
morning and closes late in the afternoon,
but has the remarkable peculiarity of
indicating a coming shower by shutting
op its petals. ' For this reason, if for no
other, it deserves encouragement, and
wonld appropriately take the place of
some of the ugly tulips and other im
ported flowers now so .popular. St.

Invention or the Fire Engine.
Toward the close of the Seventeenth
century M. Duperrier in France. Heir
Leopold in Germany and Mr. Newsham
in - England : introduced almost simul
taneously fire - engines having an air
chamber, which rendered the stream of
water continuous and uniform. In ad
dition to this - these engines were
equipped with flexible leather hose, in
vented by Jan Van der Heide ana his
brother, and which was first put into
practical use in Amsterdam in the year
1673. Detroit Free Press.
TOO FOND OF HIMSELF..
Bo Much Interested In' the Kalr Passea
(r That- He Paid Doable.-- ' --
A pretty young woman dressed in the
height of fashion, got into one of the
Fifth avenne "busses" the other day to
drive np to Central park. Some of these
busses still run on the old "bobtail" sys
tem, that is, they have no conductors to
collect the fare, and passengers mast
themselves drop their: nickels into a box
at the end " of-the conveyance. : The
driver is supplied with a quantity of
email coin. to. make change for 'passen
gers who have not the exact fare. As
this handsome young woman took out
her purse, several men bent forward ex
pectantly for the privilege of passing
her coin up to the box for her. Ignoring
their readiness, she made her way np to
the box herself and dropped a dime in
to it
Then she waited for her change. ' No
change came, however. - She looked at
the box anxiously, evidently thinking
that perhaps she needed to pull out a
handle or press a button somewhere in
order to see her change fall out, but all
she saw was a little sign, "Pnt the exact
fare in the box'." Th man nrlm v.
had overlooked only grinned. She ap-
poaieu to i no anver ror cnange. He told
her he could not open tha hoi lint tint
if she would wait until another passen
ger got aboard she could have his nickel
instead of his dropping it in the box.
Pretty soon a typical "chappie," with
monocle and Enirlish '
too large for him, stepped into the bus
and offered the driver tan .nnta t. u
changed into two nickels.. The driver
expiameu io ami tne predicaineut the
young lady was in and asked him to give
her one of the nickels.

Then several -men nnnrfo1 nVii fk

what they were laughing at. He could

at first, but. pretty soon it struck him
that he had got rid of two nickels for
one ride. Then he- blushed np to the

- Funny Incident at Marriage Services.
Some funny stories are told .about the
marriage service in the Isle, of Man.
One of them relates how an old 'man,
bronght rather unwillingly o the altar,
could not be indnced to repeat the re
sponses. "My good man," at length ex
claimed the clergyman, "1 really cannot
marry you unless yon do as you are told."
But the man remained silent At this
unexpected hitch" the 'bride lost all pa
tience with her future spouse andjurst
out With, "Goon. Say it after him just
the same as if you- was mockin him."
The same difficulty occurred in another
case. The clergyman, after explaining
what was necessary and going over the
responses- several, times, without the
smallest effect, stopped in dismay,
whereupon the bridegroom encouraged
him with, "Go ahead, pass'n, go ahead!
thou'rt doin bravely." Upon another oc
casion it was, strangely enough, the
woman who could not be prevailed upon
to speak. When the clergyman remon
strated with her, Bhe indignantly replied:
'Your father married me twice befoor,
and he wasn't axin me any of them ira
perent questions at all." London Satur
day Review.
Kind of Juror Preferred.
Criminal court lawyers always like to
have their cases on the first two or three
days of the term if possible. The reason
is that the jurors in many instances are
fresh and green at the work of listening
to evidence, and invariably show more
sympathy for the persons on trial than
they have after they have sat for a couple
of weeks.
Jurors in the--, general sessions court
are cnosen to try cases for a month.
Every term there are always some who
have never been in the court before,
while of course others have had plenty
of experience and are adamantine. , So
the young lawyer at the beginning of
the month dwells on the sympathetic
side of his case and resorts to all tricks,
such as bringing the weeping wife into
court, and tells the juries of the terrible
results of a term in state prison. New
York Times. - ' :-
Asbestus and India Rubber.
The use of asbestus in connection with
India rubber is now practiced in various
directions. Asbestus and india rubber
woven sheeting; for instance, consists of
asbestos woven cloth, coated on both
sides with india rubber and then vul
canized. It is used as a substitute for
the asbestos millboard , for -packing for
steam joints and in other situations
where it is desired to resist both heat
and moisture, while affording a. high
degree pf elasticity.. .- , '

washers are also. made, and asbestos

. People Who Dislike Bats.
There is a very strong dislike to the
bat among the peasants of South Ger
many. ' A feeling of disgust and fear
takes possession of the fanner who finds
bats in his chimney, not only because he
believes the creatures will feed upon his
pork that hangs in the smoke, but be
cause bats are regarded as unlucky and
bring poverty and misfortune. Phila
