A communication to tho Oregoninu
from S. IJ. Greene givoB the niimu to
tho peculiar fish caught here. He bays
the species is known to the Russians ah
the "gorbuscha," whence it gels its
scientific name, "Oncorhynehus Oor-
buscha." Knglish-Hpeakiug people call
it generally the "hump-back salmon,"
and often the "dog salmon." The lat
ter appellation is, however, incorrect,
for the dog salmon is a diU'eient and
distinct species. Ho fears also that the
learned ichthyologists of the Smithson
ian institution, when ttiey receive the
photograph sent will manifest a little
surprise that the sportsmen of Thu
Dalles do not readily recognize the tish.

"U. S. Land Ollice Will you kindly

As there are about 800 township-1,

nearly 7,000,000 acres of lands in tb'
district, and as each township map
would cost about fl, the magnitude of
the request is plainly apparent, and as
the letter did not unclose a check for

bo complied with, which Mr. Lowia

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Tim HcRlnnliiK of llio Mnrrleil T.l of
Mr. mid Mr. Orn. Snipe.
Today marks the 40th milestone in
the teamed lives of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Snipcf. For seven years moro than a
generation they have traveled life's path
way as one, sharing together tho pleas
ures and disappointments, tho joys and
sorrows, the fortune and adversity, in
cidental to human existence. While
they have outlived the ago of romance
their lives have been full of it, and if
properly written would put to bluelt tho
modern novel. Though few would sup
pose It now, their wooing was accom
panied with much the same difficulties
that nowadays are often placed in the
way of true lovers. The father of pretty
Martha Imbler was. not so taken with
the handsome appearance of tho youth
as was the inaid herself, and had for
bidden further social intercourse be
tween them. But then as now "love
laughs at locksmiths," and at 2 o'clock
in the morning, just forty years ago to
day, the determined young man stole
away the no less determined young lady
from the prairie schooner in which she
was supposed to be sleeping, and both
came quickly to The Dalles and were
married. They were fdrgiven, as all
children are under similar circum
stances, and when they settled on a farm
about two miles west of the town, the
"old folks" were among the most fre
quent of visitors. Here Mr. Snipes has
every year since 1854 plowed the soil,
cultivated the crops and gathered the
harvests; here fourteen children were
born ; here three of the number were
borne to the silent grave; and here they
are living today, as devoted after forty
years of a life changful as the kaleido
scope, as when hand in hand they began
life's journey with vows of eternal con
stancy fresh upon their lips. In tho
light of so rare an experience who can
deal in frivolities upon so sacred a sub
ject as matrimony, or gibe with careless
nonchalence upon the marital tie. Mr.
and Mrs. Snipes are now the "old
folks." Fortune has rewarded them for
their lives of privation, danger and toil,
they live to see their children in the
vigor of manhood and womanhood, and
now in the lengthening shadows of the
afternoon of life, yet strong in health
and spirits, honored and eminently re
spectable, they may review their life in
retrospect with few regrets for the past
and a hope for the future grounded upon
honesty, forbearance, charity and every
Christian virtue.

FUN FOR LITTLE JAPS.
Struct VcndiTH (Jo About with Charcoal
Stoves on Which Children ISake Cukes.
Japan has been frequently referred
to as the "Children's Paradise," and
with considerable justice, for in no
other country is childhood made so
much of, and are children surrounded
by so raan3- devices for their amuse
ment. In every town, according to Dr.
W. D. Eastlake in the Popular Science
Monthly, there are numbers of street
venders and hawkers whose sole cus
tomers are children.
One class of these venders carry two
charcoal stoves, or furnaces, swung in
the conventional manner of the country
from the ends of a pole which rests
across the shoulder. Arriving atn con
venient corner, the load is put down,
and a group of eager children quickly
gather. For the moderate sum of one
or two rin tho children are supplied
with a tiny cup of sweetened batter
and a spoon. Titus equipped, they
proceed to bake their own cookies on
the smooth iron top of the stoves, fash
ioning the dainties into whatever
shape they please, and, when they are
crisp uud'browu, devouring them. The
ante vender also devotes his skill to
children. His "stock in trade" consists
of dried reeds and it quantity of midzu
ante, n sort of malt paste. Some of the
ameisput on the end of n reed and is
molded or blown into some fantastic
shape by the vender. Tho young cus
tomer dictates its to the Jigure, and
butterllies, flowers, gourds, or what
not are shaped from tho sweet paste.
The children, after having satisfied
their taste for artistic design, eat tho
finished work, tlio reed handle prevent
ing their lingers from becoming sticky.
There is another of the child nmusers
that can lie seen in the streets of Tokio
or any other Japanese city. This arti
san mollis fruits, llowers ana vege
tables from colored rice-ilower dough,
and does his work so deftly that it is
really difficult to distinguish the artifi
cial front the real fruit.
This universal love nnd regard for
children is also displayed at every
temple festival, where numerous
booths, trav with toys, Hags and games,
form ulways a prominent feature.
