If I should die tonight
A nd you should come to my cold corpse and say,
Weeping and heartsick o'er my lifeless clay
If I should die tonight
And you should come in deepest grief and woe
And say: "Here's that ten dollars that I owe,"
I might arise in my large white cravat
And say: "What's that?"
If I should die tonight
Andfcon should come to my corpse and kneel,
Uas.ping my bier to show the grief you fool
1 say if I should die tonight ,
Aud you should come to me and there pud then
Just even hint 'bout pay in' me that ten,
I might arise the while.
But I'd drop dead again.

Climates Compared.
The East Oregoniau says: The coun
try in Eastern Oregon west of the Blue
mountains is visited by less stormy
weather, has iless , fall of snow . and is
milder in temperature than that on the
east side, as a general thing, and fre
quently, when . rain falls in this vicinity
it snows "on the other side of the
Blues." " .
The La Grande Chronicle adds:
"And a few weeks further on when
the gentle dews of heaven are moisten
ing the glad earth on this side of the
mountains ; when every gathering cloud
and every rustling breeze is a harbin-
r of wealth to the husbandman, and
he elixir of energy and health to his
amily, all that arid region west of the
Blue mountains will be a bake oven.
Through the burning hours of the day,
and during the sweltering watches of the
night when the radiated heat from rock
and sand makes sleep impossible, the
people will drag themselves with wan
ing energy to the house-tops and pray
for a gust of the south wind that will fill
their lungs with just one cubic inch of air.
In the meantime the despised vaults of
snow hidden in the depths of the Blue
ountain forests will send purling
treams of liquid into the valley of the
rande Ronde, keeping fresh and green
he gardens and fields, while the Uma
tilla desert will be as bare of vegetation
as a 'possum's tail. You blow about your
climate, will you, when nine months out
of the year your tongues protrude, dry
and parched, arid not moist enough to
lick a postage stamp?" ' -

James Officer, who died at Molalla
Friday and was buried there Saturday,
came from Missouri and settled on a
claim of 640 acres on the Molalla Febru
ary 19, 1846. He was born in Tennessee
in 1801, making him 92 years of age at
the time of his death. During his long
residence in this county he has taken a
prominent part, though not identified
with official positions. He did active
service in the Cayuse war of 1847-8. He
frequently officiated in the Baptist
pulpit, though belonging to the wing
of the church opposed to missionary
work. There was little formality about
the funeral on account of the driving
storm that prevailed all the afternoon.

Mrs. Officer who were married in ' Clay

Mortgage Tax Law.
With a view to ascertaining the prob
able course of the assessors throughout"
the state, now that the new mortgage
tax law has gone into effect, the Orego
nian addressed to each of them the fol
lowing letter : ....
"Dear Sib: In view of the wide
spread discussion upon the subject of
listing mortgage notes for taxation, will
you stale very briefly, whether in your
opinion any considerable portion of such
notes can or will be assessed in your
county, and oblige."
Of many replies we append that of
the assessor of Wasco county. :
"Tub Dalles, Or., March 19 In
reply to your favor of recent date asking
me to briefly state my opinion in regard
to the mortgage tax law, I would say :
Being satisfied that the larger part of
the taxpayers are well pleased with the
repeal of the mortgage tax law and de
duction clause, I would like to follow
the intent of the new law, and not the
letter of the old. I believe that all
notes secured by mortgage- on real estate
should be exempt from taxation, with
no deduction for indebtedness. All per
sonal notes, moneys and accounts held
on the 1st day of March should be as
sessed to the holder thereof, listing
nothing that would tend to throw a
double tax on any property. I believe
if all the assesors in the state would
pursue this mode of assessment, and be
sustained by the county courts, there
need be no trouble in getting out of the
dilemma that, we are unfortunately
placed in. J. W. Koostz."
. Vivid fiction.
While writing with all the scientific
knowledge of a great astronomer,
Camille Flammarion in his marvellous
story "Omega, The End of the World,"
which begins in the April number of
The Cosmopolitan magazine, keeps the
reader at the highest point of excitement
by hia . vivid description of the alarm
and despair excited by the approach of
a comet whose collision with the earth
had been declared by astronomers in
evitable. The description begins at a
time when the business of the world has
been suspended, and at a great mass
meeting held in the Institute of France,
we hear the discussion of scientists as to
the possibility of a second deluge, the
drying up of all the surface water of the
globe, or the total destruction of human
life by cold, together ith all the possi
ble phases of death paralleled by the
history of the moon. For scientific
statement and sensational effect this
characteristic i production" of French
genius ia unique, and. the reader who
reada this marvellous story and if he
begins it be will certainly finish it will
have assimilated without effort, a com
pact store of scientific knowledge. In
this way, apart from its absorbing inter
est, thia remarkable piece of fiction will
have a distinct scientific value.

' . Under the above heading I have read
some racy little articles concerning thia
"neck o' the woods" in The Chronicle
of late, and 'have been-: pleased with the
writer's versatility; but he, she or it
ehould never write under oath.
Mosier is a flag station, sixteen miles
from The ' Dalles' - on ' the U. P. system.
It has one inhabitant, and a transient,
floating population of twenty-three, and
is noted for its lack of thrift and enter
prise. The town is beautifully "f ?) fenced
in with a good, substantial rail - fence,
and, like Jerusalem, it has two princi
pal gates, one on the east and one on the
west. The United States poatoffice is
situated near the eastern entrance to
the city, just outside the wall, and is
slightly patronized by the elite, the
bulk of "the mail being handed in to the
postal car as it passes.
It ia as easy for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of heaven aa it ia for a poor
devil to get through these gates in the
summer time, aa the owner of the town
seems fearful of ' having the gates left
open, and thereby exposing the town to
the cold damp night air. I presume
from ita present weak condition that this
precaution ia wise.
The principal industry ia carried on
by the suburban inhabitants, and con
sists in cord wood cutting and seven-up.
Euchre is too progressive. ' The "four
hundred" have but one pastime, i. e.
the fantastic. Uncle Billy Hayes, a vet
eran violinist of the homeopathic
school, rasps the catgut for these occa
sions with" seemingly but little sympa
thy for the unfortunate cat, as the grace
ful dancers alamand, do ce do, contra
dance and swing, in harmony wih the
disturbed condition of the surrounding
atmosphere, till' broad daylight, when
the boys "go home with the girls in the
morning."
But the gentle reader must not think
that it is all folly and sin and vexation
of spirit at this, little fenced-up town.
There are people bf God here too. Last
summer when I was hunting my cow I
ran on to one of them.
I said to the holy man of God : "Have
you seen my cow?"
He said : . ' "Dear sinner, have you
heard of 'these gospel meetings being
held here, and of the mighty outpour
ing of the Holy Spirit?"
I said : "She is a small cow, with a
small bell on, and has a little calf run
ning with her, but the calf ia weaned."
He said : . "Come out to these meet
ing and see what the Lord ia doing for
llis people. Brother, it may do you
good." '.'"' . .' '
I said: "She lias not been milked
since day before yesterday, and I fear
that she will fail in the usual flow of
lacteal fluid, if not soon found."
He said, in an agonizing spirit that '
would have done credit to Gethsemane !
"Oh God!"
I mention this last to show that we
are not all heathen, and that the gospel
has a slight hold among us.
St. Patrick's day was quietly passed,
yet appropriately celebrated by the Irish

Squire Davenport ia buay in hia young
orchards these days, and gets the full
benefit of the robin'8 song by being up
early before the robin tires out. His
place shows an air of thrift that is re
freshing to the young blood; but it
must, send a thrill of rheumatism
through the withered frame of the moss
back, who must regard such a display of
enterprise as a personal affront."

A Card to the Public
I would respectfully inform the pub
lic that I have been able to procure a
pretty fair outfit for raising or moving
houses, and am. willing to do that kind
of work at reasonable figures. But I do
wish it distinctly understood that, after
looking at a job, I am to be the aole
judge of the price to be set upon the
work that I am to undertake, or may do.
If there is any person who may think
that there is big money to be made at
house moving in The Dalles, by doing
work for less than I can do it, I would
advise him to prepare himself, by buy
ing tools, and reap some of the rich har
vest? In conclusion I will say that if I
am called upon to do any work in my
line, I shall endeavor, in the future, as
in the past, to give entire satisfaction in
all respects to my employer.
Most Respectfully,
Andrew Velarde.
