window and see those beautiful - Oregon
agates and carnelians which he has had
cut by an expert Lapidary, in Denver,
Colorado. They are tine.
Portland wants the whole world with
a barbed wire fence around it, from the
newspaper stand point. They want an
other circle extended so as to take in
Mt. Tabor, and all the suburban towns
south of the Columbia. Already the
cities area, is nearly as large as that of
Chicago.
Henry Witte, a rusty old bachelor liv
ing near Fellows station, on the Central
Washington railroad, was made happy
the other day by receiving intelligence
from Germany that a legacy of $31,000
was. left to him by a deceased brother.
Witte is J5 3'ears of age and a hard
working rancher.

We had the pleasure of a visit from
Mr. and Mrs. Havely of 15-Mile. Mr.
Havely says the roads are bad, and the
ground is in tine condition for the plow,
which is being used in all directions,
aud that the seed-drill is following them,
up in good style. He thinks Wasco will
be ahead next year in wheat product.
Telegram. The people's party are
liable to reap more harm than good from
their name. It is so suggestive and
means so much, that its requirements
are varied and important. It is going
to be very difficult for them to live up
to tiiat name. The people's party of
the future is the one which will benefit
the people the most.
The D. P. & A. N. Co. have begun
worn on the the enlargement ot their
wharf. They will drive about 75 niles
j and raise the dock about'5 feet above its
; present grade and make the wharf prop-
I per. eighty feet square. It is the inten
tion we understand, to build a two story
lock in the spring, to accomodate the
grain traffic of the coming season.

. Spokane Review. The green aphis
has cost the fruit raisers of Eastern
v'ashington many thousands of dollars
this year. It is a recent importation
from California, and should be exter
minated by concerted warfare. Some
farmers think this can be done by lib
eral use of the emulsion of kerosene and
common soap, while others think kero
sene is injurious to the trees. Surely a
safe remeuy cau"and will be found, for
the interest involved is very great.
A housekeeper's magazine gives the

Entertainment and Supper.
The patrons of Rockdale public sohool
district No. 16, intend holding an enter
tainment in Fairfield school house, on
Friday ltith inst. The amusements will
consist of music, vocal and instrumental ;
dramatic pieces, readings and recita
tions, and a supper will be given at the
close. The best local talent has been
engaged, and the most attractive pieces,
humorous and pathetic, have been
chosen. .Admission to entertainment
and supper 25 cents. The proceeds will
be devoted to the repairs of the school
house, and we trust that in aid of so
praiseworthy, an object, a large attend
ance will le secured. Doors open at 7

The Fierce Mandanina Cane. .
' In the mandamus case of Pierce a
demurer was filed by the respondents
on the grounds that the complaint does
not state facts, and secondly that there
is a defect of parties defendant, and
third that several causes are improperly
united therein. The demurer was sus
tained by Judge Burnett, and the peti
tioner immediately gave notice of an ap
peal to the supreme court, on the ground
that the court erred in sustaining the
demurer, and rendering judg
ement in favor of respondents.
Secretary MeRride has acknowledged
service on the appeal.
REDVCTION Ipi KATES.

The Lake iiUKinefta.
CuiCAtiO, Dec. 6. The iron trade on
lake Superior is at an end until spring.
Although Dulnth has over 700,000,000
bushels of grain in the elevators at the
head of lake Superior, close sales of
wheat in the east have stopped its ; for
ward movement and from present indi
cations lake ..Superior traffic, with the
exception of coal, flour and merchandise
will cease. Vesselmen in and out 'of
Chicago, are preparing for the close of
the season, and great efforts are being
made to hurry up boats loading grain in
order that they can get to Buffalo, bring
up a cargo of coal and take grain back
again before ice closod the Straits of
Mackinac. Thev are taking chances.

AN AWKI'L J'KKDICAMENT.
A Man Tries to Give Ills filrl a Good
Blowing up II llh Dynamite.
Klamath Star. A man' named Whit
tier is in jail in Denver for doing some
thing wrong. After a pat with his
i lover he seized her and forced down her
throat six pellets which he assured her
contained dynamite.- In- Denver this
j method of giving a lover a good blowing
up is called a deviation from moral rec-
titude. The girl's landlady told her she
j must get, and gave her a pair of felt
slippers to go down stairs with, lest a
sudden jar of her system might result in
the raising of property sky high. While
telling her simple story in the judge's
court the whole crowd flew with flutter
ing coat-tails, and one deputy sheriff
jumped through a window. Physicians
who were consulted disagree as to the
probable consequences in case the girl
really has dynamite in her system.
Some, say she will burst into tears and
several other things, while others think
the dynamite must have grown weak.
But Whittier has grown weak; while thv
outcome of his experiment is being
awaited with considerable interest.
Around the World.
Eugene Guard. Frank G. Lenz, the
bicyclist who is making a tour of tin
world ou a bicycle, writes to Harry M.
Holden, of this city, as follows :
Yokohama, Japau, Nov. 15, '92.
Dear Sir: I reached 'Frisco on the
10th of October. A rough and stormy
country south of Roseburg to Redding,
Cal., then riding was good again. I left
"Frisco Oct. 25th, and reached here yes
terday, via Honolulu. I start overland
to . Nagasaki about the 15th, as I miiM
get a special passport tirt. I hope to
reach Calcutta safely by February 1st.
Yours truly, F. G. Lesz.
When Charlemagne and his " Knights of
the Round Table " were making war on the
Saracens, in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would ii'Jht in
single combat for the honor of their re
spective ai-mies. The Saracens had been,
for many years, the scourge the dreaded
invaders of Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these flays the worst scourge that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con
sumption. Consumption fastens its hold upon its vie
