From one source alone it is easy to estimate how enormous this may be. The Raymond-Whitcomb Excursion company have already booked 57,000 people for Puget sound, and have been compelled to stop further contracts, as their limit of ability to handle them has been reached. Many of these will go to Alaska. The greater part of this travel comes from Chicago visitors, and no doubt these who will make the Pacific coast their terminus will tax the capa city of the transcontinental lines to carry, and the cities and their hotels to maintain. It is a timely suggestion to inquire of our people what thejt are doing to secure to Oregon its full share of these visitors. What effort are we making to. direct this travel to the different sections of Oregon ? Have we any bureau of information in Chicago? Without it Oregon is likely to be left. Why should not the World's Fair commissioners of Oregon appro priate some of their money for this pur pose? A Wife's Trouble. PERSONAL MENTION. A woman selling medicine recipes is making the rounds of the city, carrying in her arms a baby. She does not do it for effect, it is thought. She is in needy circumstances and her husband has not got the knack of knowing how to sup port them. The latter left for Pendle ton a few days ago, leaving her in charge of a family, who also left on today noon's train for Pendleton. This leaves her alone in the city, with no money or place to stay. She was crying when the train left bearing away her friends, and will apply to Judge Blakeley for assist ive. The Same Man. The county court did one good thing at its last short session. It furnished the large doors at the county court house with new hinges, which will allow them to swing both ways. The improvement was badly needed, and the cost being so trifling it is a wonder it was not done long ago. Mules were created with the same divine motive that bachelors - and old maids were, viz., to eat, kick, work, bray and die, and leave no trace behind 4at they had ever lived or died.

"OREGON HEADQUARTERS." Arrival of C. N. Miller, of Portland, Agent fur the Chicago Home- Mr. C. L. Schmidt is now in possession of the Red Front grocery store, formerly occupied by John Booth, and he would like to have his friends and the public in general call on him and inspect ' his line of fine groceries, fresh California vegetables, etc. , etc. This store has long been popular by reason of the careful attention to business and enterprise of its former management, and the new owner proposes to maintain the excellent reputation it has deservedly secured. Situation Wanted. A young lady with good references wishes situation in private family. Ap ply at this office. Mr. C. N. Miller of Portland visited our city today in the interest of the World's Fair Headquarters Organiza tion, which is to be maintained in the central business portion of the. city of Chicago during the term of the exposi tion. Its object is one of "great interest to people of Oregon who take pride in the advancement of the state, and it is to render very necessary aid to all Oregon visitors to the fair. Oregon has no state building upon the fair grounds, and is therefore compelled to put forth an effort to insure it a place between such competitors as California on the south and Washington on the north. Mr. Miller claims that $5,000 expended for a city headquarters will do more for the advancement of the state and the convenience of its people than ten times the amount put into a building upon the fair grounds. It will be a rendezvous for all the people of the state, and with re ception, reading, sitting and toilet rooms will be a retreat of great conven ience to our people. There will be maintained a postoffice department and all facilities for correspondence, and Oregonians may have their messages, express packages, etc., sent there, with assurance of safe and prompt delivery. The securing of hotel accommodations, boarding and lodging house apart ments by letter, telegram or personal call at headquarters immediately upon arrival in the city is but one of the ! privileges of the organization to be ex tended in Chicago without other ex pense than that of membership. This alone will save in most cases two or three times the membership fee of ?5. 00. The completeness and propriety with which the headquarters will be main tained for state dignity and convenience depends upon the support the people of Oregon give to it. The project has re ceived the indorsement of the state com mission and we bespeak for it generous aid from our people. Everyone who thinks of visiting Chicago will join in it without hesitation as supplyinga great necessity to himself, and even those who will not go can see in it the advertise ment of the resources, industries and products of the state. ALLIGATOR SHOOTING. HIS MOTHER'S BIBLE. An Exciting Sport Which Is Pursued In Darkness. Mr. Kirk Munroe describes in the Cosmopolitan a canoe trip in company with two young Seminole Indians, Mie cochee and Kowika, who were engaged in their regular occupation of hunting alligators for their hides. The canoe was a duffout, made by Miccochee him self out of a huge Cyprus log. The trio made camp late in the afternoon, and after awhile Mr. Munroe discovered what he had not before suspected that the hunting was to be done at night. Darkness had hardly fallen before the bellowing of alligators was heard a sound much like the roar of an angry bull. Miccochee listened with evident satisfaction. "Allapatta plenty. Me catch 'em, Uncah!" We had killed five of the monsters when we turned our prow up stream. Miccochee wielded his push pole, from the stern, Kowika sat in the middle of the canoe, while I, with jack light on my head and rifle in hand, occupied the position of honor in the bow. The alligators had ceased their mut te rings and I had begun to think that we had killed or frightened them all. Just then I was startled by a slight motion on the bank but a few yards away. At the same instant two coals of fire gleamed through the blackness. What could they be? I was about to speak, when a sharp "hist" from be hind told me that the moment for action had come. Taking a hasty aim at one of the lurid coals, I fired. The report of the rifle was followed by such a wild rush into the water, such whirling and splashing, such showers of spray and bloody foam that it was as if a small cyclone had been dropped from the heavens into that quiet spot. Little Kowika screamed in his excite ment, but Miccochee only expressed'his displeasure at my bad shot by mutter ing: "Ho-le-wa-gus! Heap bad!"

They do not use them on their mosques, but have men stationed in the minarets, who call out five times each day for the people to assemble for prayer. My wife was confined to her bed for over two months with a very severe at tack ot rheumatism. We could get nothing that would afford htr any re lief, and as a last resort gave Chamber lain's Pain Balm a trial.

Among the relics stored away in the clerk's office of the supreme court of the United States, writes a Washington cor respondent of the Philadelphia Times, is a handsome morocco-covered Bible of larjre octavo size. It is the Bible that was purchased eight years ago to ad minister the oath of office to President Cleveland at his inauguration on March 4. It had been the invariable custom before the inauguration of Mr. Cleve land to purchase a Bible for use at the inauguration ceremony and to present this interesting memento afterward to some member of the president's family. Following this custom, the clerk pur chased a Bible to use in the inaugura tion of President Cleveland, but Mr. Cleveland notified the committee of ar rangements of the senate that he wished to take the oath on the Bible given to him by his mother when, as a young man, he started out in the world to make his fortune. The committee nat urally respected this sentiment of the president-elect and so Mr. Cleveland took the oath on his mother's Bible. It was a small book, morocco bound and gilt-edged. So far as is known here, Mr. Cleveland still has the book, and in the belief that .it will be used at the coming ceremony the clerk of the su preme court has not purchased a Bible to be used on that occasion. It was planned four years ago to use the Bible purchased in 1885 at the ceremony of 1889; but after considering the mat ter the clerk determined to purchase another Bible for Mr. Harrison. paunoif si:a uojinmsuoo odBD am aoms oaom ajepipuna uBadcang-uon "Jsjij ox si ajj -uaiox ad3 ux uopoojo xon oqi 31 sauvBlsiifel om ui tas e joj isauoo o sx aqepipuBo irvwmss.are v The poets sing, in dainty rhymes, Of summer days and sunny climes, With witching - yes and waving hair, Till near the end you're apt to see 'Tls but an ad. for f.

OREGON H A T S THE DALLES, "Wasco County, Oregon, The Gate City of the Inland Empire is situated at the head of navigation on the Middle Columbia, and is a thriving, pros perous city. ' ITS TERRITORY. It is the supply city for an extensive and rich agricultural and grazing country, its trade reaching as far south as Summer Lake, a distance of over two hundred miles. The Largest Wool Market. The rich grazing country along the eastern slope of the Cas cades furnishes pasture for thousands of sheep, the wool from which finds market here. The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping point in America, about 5,000,000 pounds being shipped last year. ITS PRODUCTS. The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia, yielding this year a revenue of thousands of dollars, which will be more than doubled in the near future. The products of the beautiful Klickitat valley find market here, and the country south and east has this year filled the warehouses, and all available storage places to overflowing with their products. ITS WEALTH. It is the richest city of its size on the coast and . its money is scattered over and is being used to develop more farming country than is tributary to any other city in Eastern Oregon. Its situation is unsurpassed. Its climate delightful. Its pos sibilities incalculable. Its resources unlimited. And on these corner stones she stands.
