to visit our city on the 28th, the Eugene
Guard saye: "The club is better this
year than ever before in Its history, its
sepertoire being greatly augmented, and
tbe voices blending beautifully. Tbat
each number was encored is but a slight
indication of the appreciation tbe audi
see telt for the program. Some of tbe
numbers deserve special mention for
ltbeir excellence, principal being 'Little
Pewett and 'Pale in the Amber West.'
Mr. Glen has developed in surprising
maimer the present club. His popu
larity with the student body is deserved
foi the unselQshnosB of his devotion to
its interests."
The enterprise of our advortlsors and

Seattle girls are not slow. Recently
Miss Caroline Dompsey, daughter of the
former editor of the Senttlo Times, was
witnessing the presentation of tbe

Robt. Elliot, the leading man of the

fell in love with her on the spot. He
secured an introduction and in four
days they were engaged.
The road between The Dalles and Moro
has greatly improved since the freeze

This fact is greatly appreciated by

says Moro has had a case of scarlet fever
in its midst, a little' girl dying there n
day or two since of that dreaded disease.

On the contrary, it promises its readers
more news than ever. The reBt of its

the Ciieonicle has always had the kind

and are not the least envious because we
are, still compelled to wear our old duds;
but wish it all sorts of success. It well

Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock Bome
Indian boys found the dead body of a
white man about a quarter of a mile the

Pete'e fleh wheel. They hastened to
Tafle's place, who at once wrote to
Sheriff Kellyvand this morning Coroner
Butts and Win. Michell drove up to
the place to bringahe bony down. They
found the man lyinRonhis back in the
enow quite a little wey up from the
river, and from all appearances he bus
been dead abont a wek, nVleaBt before
the rain ceased and inow fellN.lt looks
to he that of a man about 2uVear8 of
age. He was well dressed, but had
taken off his coat and vest and lain them
down about sixty yards from where the
body was tound, aleo IiIb shoes in
another place about as far uwuy. As
far as ould be determined previous to
the inquest, no marks of violence were
found, and it looks somewhat as if the
man might have been out of his head
and fallen in some sort of n fit. The
remains were brought to the city and an
inquest will be held at 3:30 this after
noon.

WHERE ARE WE AT?
Or What Century Will XV n ne In When
1U0O Overtakes Ui?
YeBterday the old question as to when
the nineteenth century ends and the
twentieth begins, was brought up in a
bnBinesB house in town and the discus
sion waxed warm. The following expla
nation, which we clip from the Spokano
Review, seems to cover the ground in a
comprehensive mannor and may assist
Bomewhat in settling n much contro
verted question :
"The first century of tho Christian
era began with the year l,and it follows
that every succeeding century must
Btart with a 1. This will appear the
more clearly by employing for illustra
tion the 100 miles which constitutes a
wheelman's "century." A wheelman
making a century run lias not completed
his task when ho has covered his 99th
mile. He must ride out the hnndreth
mile. Suppose that his course lies be
tween two towns exactly fifty miles
apart. He coverB the distance between
the two points, and then makes the
homo tun. But he has not completed
liie "century" when he spine off his 99th
mile. That leaves him still one mile
from the starting point. After covering
his 99th mile, lie begins liie hundreth
mile, and in exactly the Eame way,
when Christendom completes the 99th
year of the present contury, which it
will do at midnight on Dec. 31, 1899, It
will start on tho hundrctli or conclud
ing yenr of the 19th century. When
that shall have been rolled off, tho
twentieth century will begin.
"If the reader's mind still remainB
unclear, let him consider that the wheel
man who is covering a doublo "century"
will start hie first hundred with tho first
mile. That is 1. He will begin his
second "century" with another 1 ; and
if he should ride on until he had covered
1899 miles he would still he one mile
short of the completion of the nineteenth
century. He would have ridden eighteen
full centuries, and 99 miles of the nine
teenth century.
"In brief, 99 years do not complete a
century, any more than 99 cents make a
dollar. There must be the full 100 cents
and the second dollar, of couree, begins
with one cent."
l'aul Mohr at Astoria.
Tho Astorian says that Paul F. Mohr
spent Monday in that cityjlooking over
the situation with a view to securing
terminal grounds, for warehouses,
wharves, etc., with which to handle the
grain which he expects to take down
the river in barges. He says: "The
company will carry its grain on barges
and the tow boats will be powerfully
built and carry nothing but their own
machinery. Boats, barges and wharf
privileges for the upper river are being
built." He id so tells Astorians tbat the
portage, which is to be 22 miles long,
will be operating by July and that the
gruin will be loaded on nnd unloaded
from the carB by a practically automatic
steel carrier and claims tho grain can be
bundled at a cost of only live centsatun.
The Astorian seems a little lcury of
Mr. Mohr's scheme; but says thut when
that gentleman proves that he is ready
to carry out his plan, ho will find the
property owners of Astoria ready to do
all that he can reasonably ask for tho
promotion of his ,1iuir.
We know not what Mr, Mohr's in
tentions are concerning Astoria or its
terminals; but few are expressing any
doubt at present in regard to the work
being done up in this section. If it be a
bluff, it will be one of immense propor
tions; one in which 200 workmen are
taking an active part at present, and
which, according to tho statement of
reputable Spokane citizens, is backed
by some of their wealthiesf men. Surely
no signs of a ..bluff are visible now.
