At this time of the year the recording
angel always has a convenient tear tang
ing on his eyelid for the benefit of the
bead of the family who is engaged in
putting up the stovepipes that have
been in the cellar all summer. It is un
deniable that stovepipes grow, or at
least some of the joints do, and those
joints that fit last spring when taken
apart, are each just a trifle larger than
the other, now that they are to go to
gether again.
Mr. Hugh Glenn has leased the lot on
which bis cooper shop formerly stood to
Mr. Herrick who has about completed
arrangements for putting up a cannery
thereon. The building will be fifty by
100 feet. It is expected that work will
be begun on the building "next week.
We are pleased indeed to note this im
provement, for it is one that is and has
for some time been badly needed. Had
it been here during the season just past
a thousand tons of salmon would have
found a market that for lack of it was
allowed to pass unmolested. We hope
this is bat the etarjer for other indus
tries of a like nature.
The Greatest Fact of Modern History.
Dr. F. Heinrieh Gefleken, in the October Forum.
The British Empire is a political crea
tion unparalled in the world's history,
not onlv bv its extent and notmlatinn.

in both which respects it is slightly sur
passed by China, but because, with an
area of more than 10,000,000 square
miles and with 352,000,000 inhabitants,
it is scattered over the whole plobe. It
embraces all zones from the icy -wilderness
of Hudson Bay to the tropical jun
gles of India and mahogany forests of
Honduras;' there is scarcely a product
which a British province does not bring
forth in excellent quality; and not less
various are the degrees of civilization
of its inhabitants, from the Kaffirs
of the Cape to the highly culti
vated citizens of Toronto or Sydney.
We find, with Christians of all confes
sions, 200,000,000 Hindus, about 70,000,
000 Mohammedans, and 8,000,000 Bud
dhists ; and the Bible is printed in 130
languages and dialects represented in
the Empire, yet, notwithstanding such
promiscuous elements, the government,
with rare exceptions, maintains order,
and no sign of dissolution is visible.
The Railroad Commissioners.
The members of the state board of
railroad commissioners are very clever
gentlemen but for all practical purposes
that commission is a cold failure, and
should be abolished. The following
from the Salem Journal carries a fair
idea of the usual duties performed by
them. We will add, however, that they
do as well perhaps as any other board
would do. The Journal says:
Railway Commissioners A. I. Macrum
J. B. Eddy and H. B. Compson, at
tended by Clerk Lydell Baker, andCapt.
Jones, aide de camp of General Comp
son, arrived in Salem Monday on a
special train, composed of two Pullman
cars. One car was the private car of
Supt Fields, of the Southern Pacific,
who attended the commission with other
officials of the road.
The second car was a richly furnished
Pullman sleeper. Five colored porters
attended the function on wheels. The
party visited the slate fair and races.
In the evening the train pulled down
town and all the party took a stroll for
exercise. The commission are very
well-groomed and appear to be con
tented with their lot.

Senator Dolpli Speaks.
The courthouse was filled last evening
in spite of the inclement weather, with
an intelligent audience, bent upon
hearing what Senator Dolph might have
to say. The band met the senator at the
Umatilla House at 8 o'clock, and after
playing a piece or two, preceded him to
the courthouse. '
At 8:15 Hon. John Michel, in a few
well -chosen words, introduced the sena
tor, who, saying that he did not intend
to make a political speech, or to deal in
politics, but rather with local questions,
preceded to give a resume of the work
that had been accomplished by the Ore
gon delegation for Oregon. This con
sisted in the opening of the Indian res
ervations, and in this connection he
expressed the opinion that it would be
but a short time until the Warm Springs
reservation would be opened for settle
ment; the securing of appropriations
for the work at the mouth of the river,
which work will be completed next
year ; and the appropriations for com
pleting the work at the cascades. The
ssnator gave a description of the man
ner in which theee appropriations were
secured, showing that it required per
sistent work to acorn plish anything.
The senator also asserted that Oregon
had received more money'for river and
harbor improvements in the last few
years than any state in the union. He
closed his talk by giving a history of the
boat-railway legislation and the obsta
cles that had been met and overcame.
The senator spoke for an hour and forty
minutes, and bis remarks were often
interrupted by hearty bursts of applause.
The senatoi left on the 11 :10 passen
ger last night for Baker City, and will
visit Pendleton October 2, being invited
to address the Press Association, which
meets there on that date.
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society.
Superintendent .Gardner, of the Boys'
and Girls' Aid Society, who was in the
city yesterday, gives ns some informa
tion concerning those whom the society
took in charge from this place. He
brought with him from Portland two
girls aged about 11 years, for whom he
secured a home with Mr. and Mrs. Thor
burn and another of 15 years who is to
stay with Mrs. N. Harris. The Gibson
girl, who was taken from here, is adopted
into a Portland family and is- doing
nicely. The Graham children are well
provided for one having a home with a
wealthy farmer near Vancouver, Wash.,
and the other with a farmer in Yamhill
county. Dollie Howard, who is now a
young lady of 15, has a good home with
a family at Ilwaco and is doing well.
The two Dunn boys are also well pro
vided for, one of them being with a
farmer in Yamhill, who is raising him
as his own child, and the other has a
good home. Mr. Gardner incidentally
told us that the Negro boy sent from
this place to the Reform school is em
ployed as waiter at the officers' table,
and is proud of his job and contented.
The good work the society is doing, can
best be appreciated by noting what has
been accomplished locally and judged by
this rule, the'society is deserving of the
highest praise, and substantial encour
agement.
An Earthquake Shook at Qulnn's.
frightened turn most was the sadden
sinking of about 100 feet square ot earth
to an indefinite depth, no bottom being
visible. The next morning the hole was
filled with water. Pat says he was
never frightened so in his life. We
have not heard of any earthquake shock
from any other quarter, and it is cer
tainly very remarkable. Pat describes
the motions of the earth with his arms
going up and down like a "teeter" in
quick motion. The hole is on the river
bank close to his cabin, and we would
think from the manner of his descrip
tion that it would have frightened the
stoutest heart. Arlington Record.
It seems from this that Oregon is not
to be outdone by Kansas, for this must
have happened about the same time the
ground sunk in so many places in that
state, and from the accounts they oc
cured just as Mr. Cahill describes.
With a View to Purchase-
Speaking of the two Montana men
who have been looking up the O. P., the
Corvallis Times says : Thev came to
this city and in company with Receiver
Clark made an examination of the west
ern portion of the road. They declined
to give any information concerning their
plans, or wiiat they thought of the prop
erty ; but made no secret of the fact that
they were looking over the road with a
view to its purchase. It was also learned
from them that a representative of their
combination went over the road about
two months ago.

INGENIOUS MEANNESS.
A Brother in Piety Plays the Fly-Paper
Game on His Church.
A good story comes from a neighbor
ing' village, and a report of the inge
nuity of man's acquisitiveness may be
a pointer for some of those not averse
to turning an honest penny their way,
says the Fargo (N. D.) Forum. A cer
tain brother in the fold,' who takes an
active part in church, work, and in
whom implicit confidence has been
placed by his associates, has been de
tected of having a piece of sticky fly
paper in his hat when he went to take
np the 'collection at the church. '
" , All the coins, that dropped upon the
fly-paper ttay'ed there, and it was
amazing hot-' the big pieces crowded
the little ones off. ; - V - '. ' ' '
' When the audience had been solicit
ed, this smooth individual would ad
vance and turn his hat upside down
over that of anotlier who had" been so
liciting the audieiuce on the other side
of the house. All the coin that dropped
belonged to the church, and.. all that
remained in the hat was. to remunerate
him for the work he had done, so to
speak. ".' -'
Mr. Fat Cahill informs us that on last
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock tie was
alarmed by the earth rising and sinking
at Qainn's station, which reminded him
When Baby -was sick, we gave her Castorla.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castorla,
When she had Children, she gave them Castorla.
