United NewsletH to lie Digested at tbe
Supper Table.
He sat at the dinner table
With a discontented frown ;
The potatoes and steak were underdone
And the bread was baked too brown ;
The pie was too sour, the pudding too sweet.
And the roast was much too fat;
The soup too greasy, too, and salt.
'Twas nardly fit for the cat.
"I wish you could eat the bread and pie
I've seen my mother moke;
They are something like, and 'twould do you
good
Just to look at a loaf of her cake."
tiaid the smiling wife: "I'll improve with age
Just now I'm but a beginner;
But your mother has come to visit us.
And today she cooked the dinner.

The ladies of the Glee Club will please

they will be entertained by Mrs. Gar

for building the Christian church, has

The "hammer and needle" social
Wednesday promises to be fully as in

laughter and good fellowship.
Last Friday a number of bulletins in
the Chinese language were posted up,
which were eagerly perused by the
Celestials. We are not versed in that
language, and as the Chinese would not
translate them, we are unable to give
our readers the text.
T. Mack and J. H. Burns were sen
fenced at Oregon City to the peniten
tiary for life, for murdering a China
man. The criminals are both boys un
der 21 years of age and they just killed
the Chinaman for fun and did not seem
to realize the enormity of their crime
until after they were arrested.

The grounds of this property are among
the most beautiful and picturesque in
this city, and its effect will be greatly
heightened by the stone work.
There must be a good many squirrels
out near Heppner. The Gazette says :
"John Edwards, of Sand Hollow, killed
720 squirrels in a half a day, with four
cans of poison, and on about two acres.
He says he did not get more than half
of them." That would be about 4
squirrels to the square rod if we figure
correctly.
O. P. Hubbard, a special agent sent
out by the attoney-general to take tes
timony in regard to the Indian depreda
tion claims, has recently been in South
ern Oregon and Northwest California,
where he has been investigating claims
for depredations committed by the Mo
docs, and will proceed to Eastern Ore

to the depredations committed by Chief
Joseph's band.
Emanuel Meyer has returned from
Washington, where for some time he
was endeavoring to eecure for himself
the appointment ot collector of customs
for this port. He says that none of the
Oregon applications for office have been
taken off the files yet. The only appli
cants for the office of collector who had
ample recommendations, were Mr.
Meyer and Mr. Black. The former is
confident that Mr. Lotan will be dis
placed before long, but thinks the other
republican incumbents here will serve
ut their terms. Oregonian.
The editor of the Warren, Minnesota,
Register, in good, plain language voices
a popular republican sentiment when
he says: "We 'jined the republicans
thirty years ago, and we ain't a bit
sorry yet. We have been licked a good
many times, but we're still in the ring,
and come up to the scratch whenever
time is called. We are a republican be
cause the principles of the party are
right, and principles do not change.
Hence, we know of no reason why we
should change our party allegiance."
Raising Cranberries.
J. O. Stearns of Lower Alsea, is the
pioneer cranberry farmer of the Yaquina
country. He has now under cultivation
half an acre, and has contracted with
parties for setting out another acre, and
they are now engaged in the work.
Forty thousand vines are required to
plant an acre. W. H. Hulz of Beaver
creek has secured 20,000 plants of Mr.
Stearns to be put out this spring, and
Judge Blue and Henry Denlinger of
Yaquina have each obtained a small
supply of plants for experimental pur
poses. It takes about four years for
plants to begin to bear. As the growth
of cranberries is limited to certain lati
tudes, it will be impossible to overstock

A Singular Find.
Not long ago there was dug up in Ash
land a curious stone with some dim and
crude inscription, or marks, upon it. It
being shown to an old Oregon pioneer,
he pronounced it a temanewas stone,
worn as a breastplate by the ancient In
dian priests. It has holes in the upper
corners by which it may be hung upon
the priest's neck. It carries upon it. a
picture of the sacred wigwam, and at one
end of the wigwam stands the totem
pole on the top of which a little flag was
hung that warned the evil spirits off
while the priest performed his divine
functions in the sacred house or wigwam.
This temanewus represents man proba
bly very near the beginning and may
even coincide with the breastplate of
the Ephod, worn by the ancient Jewish
priests ; so that the picture of the wig
wam on this may represent the primary
ancestor of all the temples or houses
ever dedicated to divine purposes in the
world and all flag and liberty poles of all
ages and countries may possibly be the
lineal descendants of the original totem
represented on the stone. Probably this
Ashland stone is the only one of the
kind now extant in the world. Ashland

Tbe Wool Market.
C. G. Roberts, a prominent wool
bnyer, well known throughout Oregon,
states that the market for this year is
extremely problematical, and there is
no one who has any information that
would enable him to prognosticate, even
approximately, upon the prices that will
be paid. The only thing that can be
said with any degree of certainty is that
it will probably be low. There has been
a vast over-production of woolen goods,
and the Boston market now is over-supplied.
Buyers here have given the larg
est amounts for wool ever paid in any
section, and in some instances have had a
hard time to come out whole, but this
was due to the fierce competition among
the buyers and no one but themselves
can be blamed.

Tbe Cigarette Law.
The cigarette law bids fair to become
as notorious as the Iowa and Kansas
liquor cases, and it is currently reported
that the American Tobacco company or
in other words, the cigarette trust, pro
poses to test the validity of Washing
ton's anti-cigarette legislature and ex
pects, on the grounds of a decision of the
United States supreme court in the
Kansas liquor cases, to avert the effect of
the law. The court decided that the
state could make no law prohibiting the
sale of liquors, bearing the government
stamp, in the original package. It is
contended that each package of cigarettes
is an original package, and it is claimed
that a similar law in Texas is being
evaded on these grounds.

Olad He's a Methodist.
Rev. Ford, tbe evangelist, says:
"When a fellow has done his best, then
some fellow jumps up and wants to down
him. The preacher who brings things
to pass is often tbe object of persecution
by those who have been most benefitted
and who should stand by him. From
what seems to be floating in the air in
certain circles we are glad we belong to
the M. E. church."
