The sharp criticisms indulged in by
the Oregonian, and similar publications,
on the lawlessness of the "gangs'' of

tirely uncalled for, and if the great daily
was inclined to be decent it could very
easily set at rest the slanderous state
ments of the so called detectives.

The attention of farmers about The
Dalles is called to an article today on
sugar beets. It seems to us (hey should
not let an opportunity pass to secure
the location of a beet sugar factory in
The Dalles. It means from $40 to $75
and $100 per acre clear, after deducting
expenses of cultivating them, besides in
creasing the values of farm prop
erty 200 and 300 per cent. Ex
periments so far have been satis
factory as to the quality of the beet
raised,. and it is thought that there will
be .no trouble in getting the desired
creage planted as soon as the definite
to position can be made to our farmers
y the factory people. ,

THE PILOT SCHOONER.
Haw tne I.ittle Thing; Behaved In
Recent Gale.
When Weeks brought the schooner
San Jose up to Astoria from California
and turned her over to the state board
of pilot commissioners, for the Columbia
river bar, she was universally con
dernned, as only fit for absorbing appro
priations. On the 6th she went outside
ou one of her regular cruises looking for
ships, and encountered the westerly
storm that raged with more or less vio
lence for fiftv-six hours. When the-
storm first struck them they were only
six miles from land and were compelled
to face a heavy sea and beat off the lee
shore. It took them three days to make
eight miles, and all this time there was
no opportunity for rest, sleepand meals.
The heavy seas washed over the deck in
a deluge, dashing in. the faces of the
men, who were 'compelled to be on the
alert continually. The vessel being
small, drawing only six feet, they dared
not let the sea strike her abeam for fear
she should capsize. :
The pilots say they should have a
schooner of eighty or ninety tons of ap
proved model, to be prepared for the
severe weather they are sometimes com
pelled to remain out in. s The hardship
of such a life is severe enough, even with
the best vessels that can be constructed.

The San Jose, they say, will "do "well
enough for smooth water, but to go out
and plow through -a sea that severelv
tries the finest ships is more than can
be done with safety to her crew. The

New i ork harljor. . Then they could
give the Columbia river a pilot service
unexcelled in the world, if onr lejrisin-
lrs were compelled to take a trip or
two out in the offing and lay there dur
ing a storm, they would" vote unani
mously for the best vessel that could be
made for the occasion. Life is as dear
to a pilot as it is to a legislator. -
The Gentleman From Mew York.
There's a man who until a year or so
ago, lived in New Tonicity, ana ne is
very fond of informing people of that de
sirable fact. Otherwise be is quite a
respectful citizen, barring a certain stiff
nesss of manner incidental or sequential
to a residence in Gotham. Yesterday
his business took him intoO. D.Taylor's
office where .he was not known. N He
asked for Linus Hubbard, and was
shown to his room.
'I am Mr. John Brown, formerly of
New York," he said by way of introduc
tion.
'Ah, good morning, Mr. Formerly,
responded Mr. Hubbard with a genial
smile. "Glad to see you. Sit down
Mr. Formerly. T,
The gentleman was stupified.
"I beg pardon," he said vaguely.
"Don't mention it," responded
Mr.
Hubbard.
"I believe," continued the visitor,
somewhat nettled, "that you called
me
Mr. Formerly". That is not my
name
sir. Mv name is urown."
This time it was Hubbard's turn to be
embarrassed.
"Ob, ah, excuse me," he said. "I
understood vou to sav vou were Mr.
John Brown Formerly of New York.
The visitor accepted the explanation
and transacted his business, but he
can't be convinced that Hubbard was
guyiug bim.
' r A MAD POET
rushed into a newspaper office recently.
and threatened to "clean out" the es
tablishment, because thev printed his
verses wrong. Said he : "I wrote, 'To
dwell forever in a erot of peace, and
vou idiots put It a pot of prease.'"
The mortified editor presented him
with a vial of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, a vear's subscription and an
apology.
The little "Pellets" positively cure
sick and nervous headache, biliousness.
costiveuess, and all derangements of the
stomach, bowels ana liver, it s a largi
contract, but the smallest things In thi
world do the business Dr. Pierce'
Pleasant Pellets. They're the small
est, but the most effective. They go to
work in the right way. They cleanse
and renovate the liver, stomach ana
bowels thoroughly but they de it
mildlv and srentlv. You feel the rood
thev do but vou dont feel them do
ing it. i
They're the cheapest Dill you can
buy, because they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is reiurneo.
Yon only pay for the gooa you get.
That's - the peculiar ' plan all Dr.
Pierce's medicines are sold on, through
druiocists.

This ia a democratic dispatch from
Washington. You will find it in the
iil-o-graim of the Oregonian :. "Re
ports were current some time ago to the
. . x ,
ciien, Liim iu tue event oi air. ueve
land's election a good-sized plum would
be placed at his disposal for bestowal
uion some worthy partisan, by the res
ignation from the supreme bench of
Chief Justice Fuller, and, now that the
election is over, the rumor is again gain
ing currency. They are based upon the
story that the chief justice finds his
position something of an irksome one,
and that the salary attached to it is not
at all in proportion to his earning - capa
bility in the ordinary practice of his
profession. From- the fact, however,
that the Fuller residence is now being
entirely overhauled preparatory to being
put in elegant condition for next, year,
it is not thought that the rumor has any
substantial foundation, or that, if it had,
the chief justice has changed his mind.
So far as the financial end is concerned,,
it is not thought that this would cut any
figure, a the chief justice is fairly well
fixed in this world's goods, and is, more
over, just now engaged in some real es
tate operations in Chicago that are likely
to bring him large returns."
