The Oregon inn very correctly eays: "If the legislature is going to' destroy fixed fithing gear, it should appropriate no money for the salmon industry. If it sinks the question to an espousal of one side iu this discreditable fight be tween rival private concerns, it should at once abandon the pretense of con serving the public good." Little Tracey ReeBe, the eight-year old daughter of Mrs. Reese whoee heirs recently sued the county for damages for her death, through an alleged de fective road, was taken today from the European House, where Bhe has been since the trial, and committed by Judge Blakeley to the care and keeping of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Aldrich, of Goldendale. The girl is an unusually bright and en tertaining little body and she will find a good home witli Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich. Judge Hlakeley this morning fitted her out with some extra clothing and a little grip and sent her happy as a lark to Grants, where Mr. Aldrich will meet her and take her to her new home When will the time come when "Un cle Tom's Cabin" will lose its charm to the rising generation V Judging by its present freshness, im alluring powers will be perennial. Theie is something in the skillful combination of the pa thetic and the humorous that never fails to fascinate, and the story that it tells of the stiU'ering of the poor slaves appeals directly to the finest sensibili ties of the human soul. Such pleye are better than sermons. They point a moral and adorn a tale. They teach us lessons in thoughtfulnees and charity. They impress on our minds the pre cepts of tiie golden rule. Mrs. Stowe's book is one of tlie greatest books of lit erature, because it deals with questions of immeasurable human import, and the play itself is one of those simple master-pieces that can never die. If it does no more than to keep alive the memory of the rise and fall of one of the greatest iniquities that history deals with, it was not written iu vain. The Ed. F.

John Turner, the well-known humor ist, who presides over the ticket office of the C. k E. railroad at Albany, set the people at the depot agog the other day by showing them an embryo oil well on the vacant ground east of the station.

The result was that by noon the oil was running out below in a tine stream, and when lie pointed out these "sure indica tions of an oil well, several who had been in California oil regions pronounced it the genuine article.
