Recorder Menefee filed today. in the
clerk's office what he believes to be the
largest volume of testimony ever filed in
any Taw' suit in "this county. It is the
testimony in the case of B. Warren vs
the Oregon Lumber Co., of Hood River
and contains a total of 197 legal cap
pages of closely printed type-writimj.
Each page is believed to be equal to five
of ordinary pen writing. Twentv-five
different witnesses made testimony and
fourteen days were spent in taking it.
Mr. G.'Burlingame has left at this
office, where it can now be seen, a sam
ple from the lately, discovered mine of
carbonate of magnesia. The mine is
located within four miles' of- Mosier.
Only two other mines are known to ex
ist in the world, one in Pennsylvania
and one in Europe. Pure carbonate of
magnesia is worth about 15 cents a
pound wholesale. Fifteen cents a pound
is $300 a ton. This is a mighty rich
strike if it is anything nearly as pure as
it supposed to be. An analysis will be
made in a few days when the Chronicle
will publish the result.

Notice is hereby given that at the reg

held last night, a vote was taken to dis--
band the organization, and upon a ballot
being taken it was carried. The band
boys wish to inform their many friends
that the ball advertised to come off on
Monday next, February 22nd, will not
be given by the band boys,, as they
think the citizens have been kind enough
to them in the past. They wish to
thank their friends for the support given
them in their organization, and esoec-
ially wish to thank Mr. S. D. Fisher for
his kindness both as a leader and teacher
of the band". Also wish'to thank Messrs.
Sinnott and Fish' of the Umatilla House
for the many favors bestowed noon them.
The ball on Monday night will be given
under the auspices of other parties.

A Valaable Find.
Mr. C. W. Harter and G. Burlingame
from New York.who are interesting them
selves in hunting up the valuable min
eral deposits of the country about The
Dalles have this week located and staked
out claims of a rich deposit of carbonate
of magnesia. This deposit' shows over
8 feet and covers 1200 by 3000 feet, and
as only three days have elapsed since
tney tound it, they already have 2003
purchasers, and it is safe to say they
could take $25,000 at any time for their
find. Mr. Harter is without doubt thfc
best minerologlst that has ever been in
this part of the country. These gentle
men have found coal, iron , ochre, fire and
pottery clay and asbestos and all within
20 miles of The Dalles and still people
have tramped over these deposits for
years not dreaming of the wealth that
lies so near us. These gentlemen can be
found at room 45, Chapman, block.

Bow an Ingenious Prince Solved a Dif
- flcnlt Problem of Stiite.
Abont 200 years ago there lived a
Prince of Mahrattas, in Hindostan,
whose name was, Shahjee. Princes are
numerous in India, but this particular
prince was long remembered on account ,
of his beneficence and o-reat wisdom.
He seems to have been tne most learned
prince of the time, and his advice and
help were always sought in critical mat
ters. Many stories are told ,of his in
genious settlement of difficulties, and
some of them are certainly curious.
Unce a very high official in the court
of Prince Shahjee made a vow that if he !
succeeded in a certain enterprise, he
would distribute to the poor of his dis
trict "the weight of his own elephant in
silver. " Elephants were highly prized
by these princes, and each kept thelarsr-
est and finest for his own use. The of
ficial's vowi if hasty, was generous, and
perhaps the success of his undertaking
was worth the price.
The undertaking succeeded; but the
official, willing to keep his oath, was
met by an unexpected difficulty, There
was no-possible way of finding, the ele-j
phant's correct weight. No scales in
the country were constructed of suffi
cient power to weigh- such enormous
beasts. Elephants were not sold by the
pound, and no need had before arisen
for scales to weigh them. All the learned
and clever men of the court tried in vain
to construct a machine of sufficient
power to weigh the enormous beast. It
did seem probable that the poor of Hin
dostan would have to get along without
that silver. It is possible that the offi
cial had thought of this objection when ;
he made the vow. Indians are crafty,
and this one might have bean cunning
enough to leave himself a loophole of
escape to prevent parting with his
money.
But if any such notion bad occurred to
him, he was doomed to disappointment
in the matter. The question was re
ferred to Shahjee, as all such vexatious
questions were. And it did not take
him long to find a very simple solution.
That is always the way with true genius,
yon know. The solution it finds-is so
simple that every one - cries out in
wonder:
"Why, of course! Why didn't some
body speak of that before?"
Shahjee commanded the elephant to
be conducted along a platform into a
flat bottomed boat which lay by the
water side. When the animal was
safely aboard, he desired the attendants
to mark upon the boat's ide the exact
height to which the water reached when
the elephant weighed it down. Then
the elephant was taken out and stones
substituted, until enough were loaded
into the boat to bring it to the same
water line as when the elephant was the
passenger. .
Then the stones were weighed. If the
scales could not hold all at once, pari
could be taken at a time, you see, and
so the elephant's weight was correctly
ascertained. It is safe to conclude that
the poor of Hindostan finally got the
silver. A prince so wise must have also
been just. Whether the official - who
paid the money was quite satisfied, his
tory does not tell us: but we will hone.
-for bis charity's sake, he was. and as a
full grown elephant weighs several tons,
the amount distributed -among the poor
of the district must have been very
large. Harper's Young People.
