The Dalles, and by nil who knew her
was esteemed a most estimable young

Several prominent stockmen have re
turned from Shimiko and the interior
mid Hay that the completion of tlio road
into Shaiiikn will result in the shipping
I of about 25,000 sheep from that point In
about ten days. The sheep will bo
shipped much earlier this year than
formerly, ow mg to their fine condition.
Most of the sheep will go to Montana,
while some will go os far oast as Chi
cago. The report that appearud in Sunday's
Oreg.inian to the effect that Lloyd, son
of Mr. and Mrs. U. F. Laughlin of this
city, was "critically ill" at the Good
Samaritan hospital is not trie, On the
contrary tlio lnd is getting along nicely,
and today his parents expected to move
him from thohospitul to the Vendome
hotel, and from thence it was expected
he would bo well enough in a few days
to be moved home.
I'lainly It is not hard for the Indians
to pet whiskey in this town. Some of
the Yakimas recently filled themselves
with the white man's lire water after
being paid for the horses thoy sold to
the Linnton cannery people. Last night
the watchman found an Indian lying
helplessly drunk on the sidewalk. He
was helped to the calaboose, where he
was kept till ho had sobered up, when,
as he had nothing wherewith to pay n
line, ho was turned loose.
The Regulator took down to Stevon
s'on yesterday 1700 head of sheep belong
ing to J. L. Lauder, of .Salt Springs,
where they will he placed on tho range
back of Stevenson for the summer.
Among them was an oddity in the way
of a lamb of about a month old that had
boon paralyzed from birth in its hind
quorters and followed tho band, using
only its fore feet. When it starts to
walk its hindquarters are balanced in
the air after the fashion of a boy walk
ing on his hands.
Word was sont from Hood Kiver yes
terday to Judge Mays that the authori
ties down there had a crazy man In
custody whom it took three men to keep
from doing mischief, and asking what
should be dono witn him. Tho judge
advised that under the circumstances
lie had better be examined tlioro before
a justice and, if found Insane, sent on to
Salem, the proper papers being duly
forwarded from here. The man was
committed and sent below. His name
h Evart and till lately be has been
living across the Columbia from Hood
Kiver. It is repotted that whiskey had
a good deal to do with bringing him to
hie present condition.
'It is not often that the preachers get
us newspaper folks into trouble, but
things are happening these days that
never happened before. In reporting a
wedding tbat be had celebrated last
Saturday mornirjg, one of our best
known preachers somehow got the
names mixed up so that Tin; Ciiiioniclc
reported the marriage of. the witnesses,
or bride's maid and groom's man, in
stead of the bride and bridegroom.
Happily the mistake was only in the
newspaper report, for Brother Poling
tied Albeit Limiueroth and Edith Un
derl. ill so tightly together that no sub
sequent slip of the tongue or error of the
types can untie them.
By a bill introduced by Senator Mc
Millan, it is proposed to reprint all $1,
$2 and $5 bills now in existence, as they
come into the treasury, and replace
them with "post checks" of like denom
inations, with blank spaces for names,
for convenience in making remittances,
as well as to pass, as the present bills
do, from hand to hand. Thus the pres
ent pieces of paper currency, and also
proposed fractional checks, can bo trans
formed at will into personal checks on
the government for the amount they
represent, and by affixing a two-cent
stamp may be transmitted by mail any
where, regardless of whether the des
tination is a money-order oflice or not.
It is thought that the proposed post-
check money will bo an accommodation
to very many people, and will increase
the postal revenues.
Careful experiments made at Cornell
university are said to show that: "First,
cut. nulls are superior to wire nails in all
positions; second, the main advantage
of the wire nail is due to its possessing
a sharp point j third, if cut nails were
pointed they would be 30 per cent more
efficient in direct tension; fourth, wire
nails without points have but ons-half
their ordinarg holding power; fifth, the
surfaco of the nail should be slightly
rough, but not barbed barbing de
creases the efficiency of cut nails about
32 per cent." The pointed end enables
the nail to enter wood without breaking
its fibre excessively, thus preventing its
grip. A set lous defect of wiro nails is
their leadiness to rust. They are made
generally of a sort of soft steel, and steel
rusts more readily than eouio other
forms of iron. In some parts of the
country, it is said, shingles put on with
wiro nails drop off after six or eight
yeare. Ualtlmnre Sun'.

"I see," said the Chuonici.e man to
Hon. A. S. Roberts as the two met on
the street this morning, "that the
Times-Mountaineer charges you with
having ignored a petition that was sent
to yon at Salem, during the last legisla
tive session, asking you to introduce a
bill to have the salaries of the county
judge ai.d treasurer reduced. What
have you to say about it?" "I never
heaid of anv such petition till I saw the
matter mentioned in the Times-Mountaineer
last Saturday," answered Mr.
Roberts. "Most certainly no such peti
tion waa ever sent to me. Nor did any
one, at any time during the session of
the legislature, or at any time before it
met, ask me to work tot a reduction of
the salaries of anv county officers. This
thing of a petition is a surprise to me.
If it was sent to me 1 never got it. If
it was sent to any other of the delega
tion he never gave me the slightest hint
of it. Right here and now I may just as
well Bay that if the taxpayers of this
county want a reasonable horizontal re
duction of the salaries of its officers
thev have only to say so, and they will
find no one who will work harder to
carry out their wishes than I will. I do
not think, however, that any two or
three of the officers, should be singled
out for a reduction jtiet because some
body might have a spite against them,
or for any similar reason. If any re
duction is demanded let the people say
so, by petition or otherwise, and I will
obey them with all the energy I can
command ; but let it effect all equally,
as far as may be just and right. Let no
one, however, blame me for ignoring a
petition that I never heard of till the
time mentioned. If the Times-Mountaineer
has any evidence that I ever
heard of this petition during the session
of the legislature, I, for one, would like
a bill of particulars."
