For a year past the Portland cable

purpose of unifying the conflicting titles

suit filed 'Saturday, however, m the
state circuit court,, which boldly de
mands the sale of the property, of the
road for the interpleading creditors of
the company.
Mr. John Pashek, 'who lives a short
distance np' Mill creek, and is an early

sters in his vicinity is beyond descrip
tion when they seek the shady nooks for
morning ablutions. The music of their
little throats is a grand inspiration, and
it is perhaps aided by some of the song
sters, imported by bird fanciers. If not
so, then it is pretty certain that the na
tive birds of Wasco would come close to
first prize in a contest for honors. -.

One of Cathcart's trucks, loaded with
lime, accommodated Tk Chronicle
man today by holding together under its
load until this office was reached, when

another truck, and the broken vehicle
was carted off to the blacksmith shop.
The sweet appearance of the magnifi
cent building of the Oreeronian mav be
appreciated when it is understood that
the finishing sand so much resembles
fine granulated sugar that a bowl full of
it was mistaken by thegnests of a neigh
boring restaurant for the proper condi
ment, and the free application of it to
strawberries and cream, doughnuts and
coffee, and German pancake, came near
producing a riot, and probably would, if
the perpetrator of the joke had n't quit
laughing long enough to confess and put
up for the damages.
An accident to the steamer Telephone
at Cathlamet Saturday is described as
follows : "As a landing was being made
the starboard over-harig of the freight
deck forward fouled a bunch of fender
piles which were just enough out of wa
ter to allow the guard of the steamer to
pass over them. As the steamer surged
back from theovharf the deck settled
down on the pile headB. ripping np the
deck planks for a space of ten feet." ' An
artist with a kodac could n't produce a
better illustration, unless he let snip the
breast snub and caught the act on two
instantaneous plates.
Channcey Depew has returned from
Washington to New York as "happy as
a school boy ;" which is taken to mean
that he has been offered the vacant sec
retaryship of state. To a reporter he
said: "The position of secretary of
state is the most important place in the
cabinet of the president. It is an ap
pointment to which any man must be
proud." When asked if he . would ac
cept the place, he replied that there
were many matters he must consider
before be could say what answer he
should give to the offer. He was not a
rich man and could not afford to leave
his business future out of consideration.
The New York Herald says Depew's ac
ceptance is contingent on his being able
to arrange with the Vanderbilts to re
sume the presidency of the New York
Central road in the event of his letire
ment from the cabinet.

BVILDIKG . ASSOCIATION.
Benefits Which one Would Cotifer Upon
The Dalies.
Mr. A. A. Brown, after reading a
timely article in The Chronicle - last
week on the need and importance of a
local building and loan association . in
this city, writes as follpws upon the
subject:
The benefits that would accrue to this
place upon the establishment of a strictly
conservative local building and loan
association, . managed ' by responsible
business men of the city, whose manage
ment is open to the inspection" of 'every
one that has an interest to do so, are
many. All legitimate business enter
prises should be encouraged, especially
one such as this which would directly or
indirectly benefit every citizen of the
place. ' , ; '
Among the benefits would enumerate :
1. making a safe depository for small or
large investments' where they would re
ceive all the-interest that would be
earned. . 2.' Enabling stockholders
(whether intending home builders or'
othewise) to secure the funds necessary
at a lower rate of interest and on. easier
terms of payment than they possibly
could in any other way. 3. By keeping
command at home of all money invested,
and obviating the great expense of soli
citing subscriptions to the stock of the
association by traveling agents, as done
by all building and loan associations
other than local. 4. By encouraging.the
growth of the city by enabling present
renters, to become home owners. Hop
ing that your agitation of the question
may meterialize into action, resulting
in organization. Yours Truly, .

The Brilliant Student's' Dilemma.
A Harvard student told me an amus
ing story about himself the other day.
It seems that recently his mother had a
young lady guest at their home on the
Back Bay, and when he came from col
lege in the afternoon he was introduced
to her. At dinner also she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten
tion to the fair Visitor, as his mind was
engrossed with a problem in his lessons.
However, bis brothers were as assiduous
as possible in entert ining her. As it
happened, the latter had engagements
out that evening, and, as Mrs. A. had
promised Miss B. to have one of her sons
take her to the theater, it fell to the lot
of my friend George, the Harvard man.
He accepted the situation gracefully,
and in due time the youjjg couple set off
for the thea.tT6 ArriVingjjGteprge left
hia companion at one sljipf the. lobby
while he stepped tip to the box office and
purchased the tickets; theii, turning
about, be looked toward the place wnete
he had parted from the young lady, and
was surprised to' see half a dozen there,
and ye' gods! is- it possible? he could
not tell which .was his precious charge!
Here was a dilemma.
George said he immediately decided
that, rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person, he would stand still till
the young lady spoke to him. So he
gazed at his tickets for what seemed to
him an age, but was probably only a
minute, when Miss B. came up and said,
"I fear you did not recognize me." "Oh,
yes yes " stammered Georgeequivo
cating "yes, I did; I thought they had
not given me the seats I asked for, and
was considering what was best to do in
the matter." Boston Herald.
A Story from the American Indians.
. Many years ago a boy found a beauti
ful snake, so an Indian legend runs. He
kept it in a bowl of water and took no
tice that small feathers dropped into the
receptacle became living beings. He
experimented and discovered that what
ever he put into the water became alive.
He rubbed some of this snake water on
his eyes and found that he could see
things that were actually bidden in the
ground. Concluding that he would
make the liquid more powerful by put
ting more snakes into it, he hung up a
number of serpents so. that their , oil
dropped into the water. By putting
some of the solution thus obtained into
his month he could breathe fire, and by.
placing some 'of 'it in his eyes he could
see in the dark.
At will he could transform himself
into a serpent, could become invisible
and could travel at an incredible rate of
speed. ' An arrow dipped into the liquid
and shot at any living being, even if it
did not bit its object, would neverthe
less loll it. A feather dipped into this
snake water and pointed at any game
would immediately start for the latter
and slay it. This boy became in this
manner a great wizard. Washington.

whom it is grossly unfair to put forth an

anybody could acquire it in . a few les

than amateurs who are now willing -to
bestow upon the art which includes, em
ploys and dignifies all other arts from
