The East Oregonian gives the follow
ing reaspn as the one for reducing Pen
dleton to a third class .postoffice: The
department saw fit to deduct from the
receipts of the office the amount that
was lost in the postoffice robbery, which
occurred some months ago, and this cut
down the receipts below what are neces
sary to place the Pendleton office in the
second clase. .Had it been known that
the department would make the deduc
tion from the receipts enough patronage
would have been voluntarily forthcom
ing in proper time to have offset the
deficit. . . ; , .
Edwards JJavis ot Oakland, Jal., as
minister of the Central Christian church
in that city, holds prominent position in
his profession, and though but a youth,
he has already won national reputation
at a peer of the pulpit and platform.
His engagements in many of America's
leading cities have invariably elicited
enthusiastic applause. The theme of
the lecture, . "The. Science of Art," is
such that it enlists his various talents as
pianist, .vocalist, poet and . orator, re
vealing him as a devotee at the shrine of
reslheticism, well deserving the appella
tion, "A Gentleman of Versatility."
Mr. Davis gives this lecture Monday
night at the Christian church In The
Dalles. : '.
Cood Bye.
In retiring from the office of county
school superintendent at the end
of a six years tenure, simple gratitude
impels me to say a few words to the
public.
I am' thankful to the party which
honored me with ' t he nomination three
successive times. ' I am thankful to the
voters who, without respect to' party, so
generously gave me their support. I am
thankful to the teachers' who have so
universally aided me in all efforts for
the betterment of the publie school. I
am thankful to the ruanv friends who so
heartily gave me their help' and encour
agement even' overlooking failures
during the many bard trials in tbe ad
ministration of the office. And I am
thankful to the press of the county,
which has aided, gratuitously, the cause
of education. Above all I am thankful
to God, who rules over all, and without
whose help and strength no measure of
success could have been attained.

Two Tall Poles.
The Sunset Telephone Company has
just erected in Aberdeen two of the tall
est telephone poles on record. .They are
on either side of the Wishkah' river and
are, respectively, 107 and 110 feet long,
10 feet of which is in the ground, the
wires which stretch from' top to 'top be
ing 104 feet above mean high water
the poles are of cedar, 3 feet thick at the
butt, and came ' from op tbe Wishkaw
river. The wires are pnt up this high
to enable schooners to go op the river.
Why tne Extinguisher Failed.
George Brown explains at this late
date tbe cause of the failure of the fire
extinguisher. "The agent came to my
house," said George, "out of a sort of
fellow feeling, I suppose, and we bad a
a long talk together. Before be went
away be asked me jf he could leave' his
apparatus in the engine room. That was
just what I wanted all the time. I told
him 'yes of conree.'. 'After he was gone
I took it all apart and filled tbe acid
tubes half fall of salt. When he went
to squirt on the fire.be nearly burned
his hand off, and tbe hose nearly melted
from the heat. What else would you
expect me to do? Yon wouldn't sup
pose I was going to let the fellow inake
a successful experiment with his little
extinguisher and throw me out of a job,
would you? Oh, no. I am a little too
foxy for' that," and George's self-com
placency was a pleasure to see. George
has got the foundation for a pretty good
story. Only he should substitute ben
zine for salt. Salt is a very good fire ex
tinguisher itself.
A Hawaiian Newspaper.
r We had the pleasure yesterday of ex
amining a paper printed at Honolulu in
the Hawaiian islands. It was a copy of
the Hawaiian Gazette, now in its thirty-
eighth volume, an eight page semi-
weekly. It is well filled with the world's
general news, and its appearance and
tone throughout is that of a prosperous
American country weekly newspaper.
If it was not for the location where it is
published, named at the' beading of the
paper, one 'would, take it for an Ameri
can newspaper. The greatest part of
its news and ; editorial columns is on
American subjects. -American politics
forms its chief speculation, and the read
ers of the Gazette are made much more
familiar with' our public men and tbe
states they bail from than are we with
the Hawaiian islands.- Once or twice a
year might comprise our entire-number
of references to them, but the Gazette
is filled weekly . with American topics,
