The salmon run is still light and re
ports from the mouth of the river are
not as cheerful as they might be. One
report is that there is a big run of
chinook coining in, but the catch at As

W. G. Ronald, special organizer or
manager of the Endowment rank, K. of
P., met with Friendship lodge last night
and gave the boyn a talk on the endow
ment features of the order. The address
was listened to patiently, but it was not
of a convincing character. Mr. Ronald
is a very clever gentleman, but well,
but.
A South Carolina moonshiner was
sentenced to the pen the other day, but
upon being asked by the judge if he bad
any reason to advance why sentence
should not bo pronounced, put up the
remarkable plea that ho had six wives
and thirty-nine children, all of whom
would sutler if he was deprived of his
liberty.
The display of work done by the pu
pils at the the Sisters school is very
pretty. The penmanship is all good,
and the pencil sketches and initial let
tering on the specimens are artistic and
attractive. There was some prettv
needle and crochet work, in fact all the
specimens of work showed that the
young folks have the very best of train
ing and that they are made to do their
work.
Clifford Howard, writing for the
Ladies' Home Journal, eaya that the
Conscience fund, maintained by the gen
eral government, yields about $300 a
month. He preaches a homily from
this on the power of conecinco. When
one thinks of the amount the govern
ment is robbed of and the amount re
turned into the Conscience fund, the
power of conscience is conspicuous from
I its littleness.
Earlier this year than ever before
people from the interior are flocking to
seaside. So far Clatsop beach is getting
the bulk of the travel, though a number
of parties have gone to Long beach dur
ing the past week. There remains no
doubt, however, that the excellent train
service over the Seaside branch of the
A. C. R. R. is having a very important
bearing on the beach situation this year,
and it can be expected with a certainty
that the resorts on the Oregon side of
the Columbia will reap the greater har

A man on trial for attempted murder
in Bloomsburg, Pa., told in his testi
mony a suggestive and eomewhat startl
ing story. Ho and a confederate had
been discussing a method to murder a
woman whom they wished to get out of
the way. One of the men suggested the
germs of diphtheria by which the dis
ease could bo imparted to the woman
and then she might die an apparently
natural death and no suspicion would be
aroused. This was agreed to, and the
germs were obtained in New York. The
plan was to scatter them over the dress
of the person it was designed to murder.
The scheme failed. The story is prob
ably false or else the man was imposed
upon, for it is not likely that diphtheria
germs have become an article of com
merce to be bought and sold.

The Bonanza mine is a great mino, lo
cated in Baker county. It is sending in
from $25,000 to $30,000 monthly and last
year it paid nearly $200,000. Within a
few weeks the Geiser boys refused an
offer of $700,000 for the property.
There is anotner bit of history con
nected with the property that is ro
mantic. Tuo Bonanza came into posses
sion of the mother of the owners on a
debt of $300. The boys concluded they
might as well work it. Two years ago
they had a good enough showing to war
rant them in asking Mr. Bunting $50,
000 for the miue. Ho let it pass, and
the property is now worth more than
ten times aB much as he could have pur
chased it for.

This morning at 10 o'clock, it being
the hour Bet for the report of the com
mittee appointed by the court to submit
resolutions upon the death of L. L. Mc
Arthur, almost the entire bar was
present. Hon. .1. B. Condon was to have
delivered an eulogy, but was prevented
by business from doing so, or from at
tending. Hon. B. S. Huntington, A. S.
Bennett and E. B. Dufur, all made short
but feeling addresses, each testifying to
the noble character and high attain
ments. It seemed that each, in speak
ing of the dead jurist, appreciated the
kindly spirit of the man, that caused
him to take a deep interest in the
younger attorneys and they to seek from
him advice and guidance. Judege Brad
shaw, in closing the meeting, paid a
warm tribute to hie predecessor and or
dered the resolutions submitted epread
upon the minutes of the court, and a
copy sent to the relatives of the de
ceased. The following resolutions were pre
sented :

Go through the country and stop at
every farm house as you go, and buy a
pound of butter. Keep on until yon get
100 pounds ; take it home with yon and
grade it so you can send it to the city
market. After you have epent two or
three hours trying to grade the butter,
this is wltat you will have : Ten pounds
of good butter, twenty pounds second
grade, thirty pounds third gride and
forty pounds that, yon nor no other man
can grade. The more you look at it the
worse it looks ; the more you smell it
the sicker you get. If the cows only
knew that -10 per cent of their cream
was wasted, the whole herd would go on
a strike. No branch of farming has paid
the farmer better returns for bis labor
than butter-making, when properly
done. No part of the farmer's work has
been so willfully and shamefully neg
lected as the butter department. There
always lias been a good demand in the
city for good butler, and probably al
ways will be. Why not supply it?

It is told of a Florida farmer not far
from Tallahassee that he has devised an
ingenious scheme by which he has rele
gated the hoe and the cotton sweep to
desuetude. The cotton planters, it is
said, know that geese will not touch the
cotton plant, but like very much the
tender grass that is the bane of the cot
ton patch.
This farmer noticed that hit geese
kept part of his patch free from giasn,
but wouldn't go near the other parts of
it; and he found that they went only
where there was drinking water. He
hit upon the idea ol equipping each
goose with a gourd, which he filled with
water and cut a slit in, so that any
goose might drink from this little trough
suspended from the neck of his fellow.
Then he turned the geese loose in his
cotton field, and they cleared it of all
grass. Kansas City Star.

There is a very peculiar ornament in
the Third liaptist church, in Albino,
that attracts the attention of a stranger
on entering the auditorium for the first
time. Above the space between the first
row of seats and the pulpit and well up
toward the ceiling, is suspended a white
dove. The dove seems to he floating,
and swaying in the uir and moving con
stantly with the air in the room, J t is
a perfect representation of a dove with
outspread wings. The cord that holds
it In place is invisible. The effect is
very striking and very effective. It
wee ins to be the representation of pence
and purity, and us such it seems very
appropriate. The Woodmen of the
World in their burial eervices turn a
white dove loose as the grave is bejng
filled, and the same ceremony is used by
the lied Men's order,
