Have you ever had occasion to enjoy
(?) a stroll over the sidewalk on Eighth
street, between Court and Union. If you
have, you need not fear the rocky road
to Dublin; it can't be any worse. If you
went over it at night you're a corpse by
this time, or, like a cat, have nine livee.
Tlie entire walk from Eighth to Tenth
isn't anything to brag on, or not much
to walk on either. And, by the way,
what's the matter with the sidewalk
leading up from the Court street stairs.

of 100 feet and open up an ore body that
will require several years to work out.

Jackson is the man who is lean sought
after now. Some time ago the council
made up their minds to make a raid of
tlie city and collect the street and road
tax, which hud been neglected for so
long, aud to that end employed W. S,
Myers to see those who are tlUjiUe. He
came, he saw, but the difficulty was to
conquer, for on every hand he was met
with a rcbluff which was to say the
least wholly unnecessary, as he was but
asking what was a lawful debt, Final
ly Mr. Myers became disgusted, aud now
the council has determined to employ
more severe measures. They have de
cided to collect the $4 or have the law

years the tax amounted to nearly $1000.
How much should be collected now Iieb

J. McCarty, a Hillsboro cattle dealer,
looks for great scarcity of beef in tlie
Northwest this winter, as farmers and
stockmen have sold their cattle down so
low that very little beef has been left.
The demand for stock cattle, to replenish
the ranges of Montana, has been eo
great that Oregon cattlemen have left
their own ranges bare of stock in many
instances. The high price paid for veal,
8 cents a pound, has also tempted farm
ers to dispose of their heifer calves. A
two months-old calf will dress 100
pounds, and .18 is considered a big price,
bo fanners have sold calves as well as
yearlings and 2-year-old heifers, with
out considering the scarcity to result in
the years to come. "Oregon has to feed
not only Portland," ho said, "but the
cities oil Puget sound and the great
mining region recently developed in
Alaska. I think nothing can prevent a
beef famine in tlie Northweet this
winter." Oregonian.
WHICH IS MIDDLE COLUMBIA?
lietweeu
Caecadea ami tlie Dullex of
Course So Say We,
The Wasco News brings up a question
which w:e had always considered as set
tled beyond a doubt. Every old resi
dent of Oregon, every steamboat man,
and in fact all who are supposed to
know will say that the Middle Columbia
river begins at the cascades and em's
at the dalles. But the News man seems
to think there is a doubt about it, which,
if so, should certainly ho settled. Ho
says :
"It has long been a puzzle to E.tf tern
Uregon residents to tlelino tlie various
divisions of tho Columbia river. In
other words, the stream is apparently
divided into three great divisions tho
Lower, Middle and Upper Columbia.
Now, where does tho Middle Columbia
begin and end? Portlanders divide the
liver at the mouth of tlie Willamette,
calling all below tie Lower and above
tho Middle; at The Dalles again is tlie
same thing done all below that city is
the Lower Columbia. Likewiso ut Ar
lington, Umatilla and Riparia, until
the ends of the division are as variable
aud hard to find as tho Alaskan bound
ary in the Atlin mining district. As it
is hardly likely a commission will be
sent out from Washington to fix up the
matter, we would like to constitute our
self official hydrographer and designate
the Middlo Columbia us beginning at
the Cascades aud ending at Priest
Rapids, and would also like to hear
from our contemporaries on the subject.
It should be settled without further
delay."

years in Heppner, and had other and
extensive interests throiighont the sur

since been active in business and
politics. In 1SS4, fifteen years ago, he
was nominated for representative m tlie
legislature, and elected by a large ma

acter and much beloved all through
