A" correspondent ' of the Scientific
American tells about a new kind of grass
-which receives some valuable recom
mendations esparto ; grass.' Esparto
grass has recently been recommended
for introduction'into the United 8tates
as a fiber plant. It is a native of Spain ,
Portugal, Greece, and Northern Africa,
thriving upon sand and gravel in . arid
situations, and growing especially well
' on limestone and gypseous soils." It is
not cut, but pulled, sometimes twice a
year. It can be grown either from seeds
or divisions of the roots.' - Teh tons.. of
, dry esparto, worth from $20 .to $25 per
ton, can, under favorable circumstances,
be obtained from an acre.' In ' Spain,
where now the product amounts to from
70,000 to 80,000 tons annually, "it for-
merly ran to waste or was used only as
fuel. Now, soch $8 the demand tor it,
that land considered valueless . a "few
years agd is -worth thousands of dollars.
About 60,000 tons are sent to Great Brit
ain annually from Spaing-'In the latter
country it is used in themanufacture of
ropes, baskets, eandals,' natting, etc.,
while in England it is largely used in
making ropeB and paper.-; Good writing
paper is made from it -without the ad
mixture of any other material, and the
price of this paper varies' from $200 to
250 tef ton. There la - certainly ah
opening in this country for some enter
prising individuals to grow this grass.
Joseph V: Dory, of Warsaw, 111., was
troubled with rheumatism and tried a
number of different remedies, but says
none-of them seemed to "do him any
good; but finally he got hold, of one
that speedily cured him. He was much
pleased with it, and ielt sure that others
similarly afflicted would like to know
what the remedy was that cured him.
He states for the benefit of the public
that it is called Chamberlain's - Pain
Balm. For sale by Blakeley & Hough

Dakota makes a residence of three
months sufficient to entitle an action for
divorce to be filed. This causes many
-who desire to unhitch to locate there and
claim desertion, as the knot can be un
tied in shorter order than in - any other
state. The effort to increase the time to
six months disclosed the object ' of the
three months' law: The state had re
ceived thousands of '. dollars in conse
quence of it. Illinois with six months'
requirement bad lost its supremacy.
Dakota shrewdly secured the unhitching
"business and dollars it naturally brought
-with it.
' The statistics concerning the produc
tion of tin plate in this country 'Show
that the industry is growing' rapidly,
and thRl if Congress lets ' the McKinley
law alone in this particular, the industry
will ultimately : be established in "the
United States upon a firm foundation
But as the tin plate provision of 'the
McKinley bill has been one of the chief
points of Democratic attack, it is prob
able that the tariff on tin plate will be
reduced before the business becomes bo
well established ' that it will not need
the protection which it now receives.
Vice President Morton's hobby is said
to be forestry. His views on the sub
ject, as given by a New York reporter,
are, briefly, as follows:' "I shall do all
in my power to promote the planting
and the cultivation of trees throughout
the country. In less than twenty-five
years, the rate of timber consumption
remaining the same as it is at present
there would not be a tree left in the
United States."
Mrs. Ellen M. McClure, of the Sprague
Daily Advertiser, is probably the only
woman on the Pacific coast publishing a
daily paper. She is editor and general
manager, as well as a competent com
positor, and can be frequently seen feed
ing the large cylinder press when rushed
This is what we would term western grit
in journalism.
The gay plumage of the peacock and
the sweet voice of the nightingale are

Does England send over little Kniulani

Who Wants the Asylum?
Are' the business men and citizens of
The Dalles going to pay no attention to
the location ;of - the insane asylum?
few days ago I put in this paper a small
communication regarding this matter
and thought it would certainly stir the
thing up a little and that some of the
prominent leaders ' would by this time
take some action about it, but it seems
as though they '' are ."all' going' to stand
till and let some other less deserving
town get the prize. "Such a valuable ad'
dition as this " should not be neglected
this way. Start 'the ball' rolling and
try and get everyone interested in
and we certainly will not be overlooked

EXT RACTS FROM THE DAILY PRESS
From the Daily Chronicle o Feb. 18th.
Of Interest to Merchants.
The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. S. Collins
against H. Hcrbring of this city, which was to
come before the Jury yesterday morning, ws
egain postponed. This suit against one of our
oldest and best-known dry goods merchant
creates considerable comment in commercial
circles. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Col
lins obtained nnder false pretenses and promises
at the end of the yea.- 1891, goods to the amount
of 150.80 from the defendant ; but instead of pay
ing the bill, as agreed, they, shortly afterwards
left the elty by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr. Herbring learned that all their
household goods, etc., were in the hands of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed
a second attachment upon the goods held by the
sheriff. A portion of these goods were sold last
December by the sheriff of Wasco county, as no
compromise could be obtained by defendant.
And now come the plaintiffs and sue through
their attorney, Judge A. S. -Bennett, the defend
ant, for the sum of 1175.00. We will watch this
suit when it comes before the jury, as we think
it is one of great interest to storekeepers. ...
From the Daily Times-Mountaineer of Feb. tUh.
Bazor-Edged Technicalities. '"'
. The case of A. 8. Collins -vs. H. Herbring was
on trial in the Circuit Court today, and the jury
empanelled were E. W. Trout, Geo. Joles, A. Bet
tlngen,,Jr., Geo. W. Miller, 8. B. Adams, James
Harper, W. C. Hansell, John Wood. ' Argument
was had this morning- on a motion to non-suit,
made by defendant's counsel, which wjs taken
nnder advisement until- afternoon, when the
Judga overruled the motion. - The facts appear
to be that the plaintiff left this city owing Mr.
Herbring, and he attached property'for the debt.
After the sale of Jite attached property the de
fendant attempts to set aside the sale and sues
Mr.-Herbring for damages, claiming that the
proceedings were not technically ; legal.- Th
razor-edge, technicalities of law, 'we -presume,
will always remain, but ft works -great hard
ships on creditors'; In many instances, to be de
barred from collecting their just claims from
the commission of a clerical error or the misin
terpretation of a dubious statutory provision.
From the Daily Chronicle of Feb. tih:
' The suit of A-6. : Collins aid Mrs. A. 8. Collins
vs. H. Herbring came to a termination yesterday
afternoon, the jury iehdering a verdict in favor
of .the plaintirla.;-1 Mr. Herbring considers hU
defeat as a fait accompli, and is now more thaa
ever convinced -that he has to stick to his old
rule and motto to sell dry goods cheap and for
cash only. ,
