HAKEIt CITY WILL START
A CAMPAIGN TO THAT END
Under the Leadership of Col. Butch
er, Who Will Present the Argu
ments In (lie Case to the State
Hoard of Railway CninmlsMaiiers
llolsc and Pendleton Havo Ba
ker City Over a Barrel, Hie Former
Having Distributive. Rates, the Lat
ter u Long Haul Rate.
Rakcr City will make an effoit to
have an t-quitable freight rate glgven
.her. .The finance has been raised to
start the campaign and the citizens
are behind the move. Colonel Butch
er bat been employed In n legal way
to conduct the- matter and It Is ex
pected that noon action will be begun
to Inlng the railroad to the rack and
show why it is giving P-akur City the
muddy end of the stick on freight
rates.
Colonel Butcher was In Portland
yesterday to call on the board of rail
road commissioners and familiarize
himself with the workings of that
body. "A start was made last year,"
said Cel. Butcher, "to bring the at
tention of the interstate) commerce
commission to the exorbitant freight
it'tts to Baker City, but the plans
did not assume definite shupe. Now,
however, the. necessary money has
been raised and we are going to see
what i an be done.
"One at the principal complaints
is that Baker City Is Khut off from
Huntington and Snake liver terri
tory through the fact tl.ut Boise has
distributive rates. Boise can ship' to
Huntington, a distance of 101 miles
en the Jihort Line for the laimi rates
charged for shipments from Baker
City, which Is ubout 17 miles from
Huntington. Furtherinoro ship
ments effered at Baker City are of
ten allowed to remain on the plat
form several duys before they ure
loaded on cars. It costs the railroad
one-half of one per cent a ton per
mile to haul goods from Portland to
Baker City, making the cost about $2
while the rates are from S10 to $12
a car."
When It Is considered that this
town has to pay local freight from
Holm on la isiiiis and that a carload
of or-inges can be shipped to Pendle
ton and then he chipped from Pen
.llfton here by leeal freight cheaper
than It car. be shipped direct :o Ba
ker City, there Is something decided
ly wiong. And on trans-continental
business ti e merchants here py the
late to Portland and the local freight

WOULD DIVITiE CROOK COUNTY.
Unceasing- Efforts Made In Ttial Di
rection. That the next assessment for the
northern portion of Crook county
Croin which It was proposed to cre
ate the now county of Jefferson will
how taxable property to the amount
of 12.500,000 Is the belief expressed
by Deputy Assesosr N. H. -Plnkerton,
i.ho recently completed the assess
ment in this district, his work cov
ering a large portion of the territory
embraced In the proposed new coun
ty, says the Madras Pioneer, which
has visions of Madras becoming a
county seat
Mucb of the farming land which
is not nt present assessable for the
reason that the entrymen havo not
received government patents tc It,
will next year be taxable, as numer
ous patents have been held up In the
yencral land office by the restrain
ing order that has been In effect
during the past year or more. The
Issuance of these patents Is now he-l-1
expedited as the result of a re
pent order to the department, and
In addition to these, numbers of
hoimstoailtrs will he proving up on
their claims and that applications
will pass to patent without hindrance
from this time on, as rapidly as the
government mill ran grind out the
work. The number of these latter
caii-s will be large, as It was five
years ngo during the spring and sum
mer that this. region experienced .It
greatest rush of homestead settlers.
With the steadfast purpose of se
curing enunty division and tho cre
ation of the proposed new county of
Jefferson, Mr. Plnkerton says the
settlors are planning to prove up In
order to give the new county move
ment (he support of as big a tax-roll
as Is possible. He says that the de
lre for a new county Is strongly
alive among all the residents of this
end of the county and that during
hi entire canvass of the district he
encountered Just one randier who
was opposed to it.
The tillable land was assessed, at 18
per acre. ' Non-tillable land, which
Includes all land not under the plow"
was assessed at 41.50 per acre. Thou
sands of acres are annually being
cleared of sagebrush and put under
cultivation and the Increase of tax
uble values frem this source will be
great. The natural Increase In Im
provements will still further swell
the tax-roil. .-1 " ' ' '
When asked If It were true, as re
ported, that come lands had been as
sessed for which the holders have
not yet received patents, Mr. Pinker
tan said:
"Some property of this kind was
entered on the assessment roll, but It
will not be taxed.' - County ' Clerk
Brown has secured corrected plats
and advices from the land office at
The Dalles,' and alien - unpatented
.lands as have been entered In the
asseisments will be stricken from the
roll."

H Makes an Apparently Harmless
Latter a Deadly Machine.
So expert are bombmakers nowadays
that an apparently harmless letter may
kill any pereo'n who tries to open It A
piece of cardboard is cut to a size
which, when folded over, will fit Into
an ordinary envelope. The four cor
ners of this are silt Into narrow strips,
Fulmlnato of mercury Is spread over
three of the silts, and the sheet Is folded
and fastened together. Projecting from
each side of the folded sheet Is a little
metal strip, on detonator, glued to the
cardboard In such a manner that the
envelope cannot be opened without
striking; one of them. Upon meeting
this slight resistance the band moving
the paper cutter Instinctively pushes
harder, and the result Is an explosion
that either kills or malms.
The easiest bomb to construct Is set
In operation by simply turning; It up
side down, it Is usually a good sized
cracker box, lined with paper and half
filled with a mixture of chlorate of
potassium and ordinary sugar. Into
this a bottle of a powerful acid is In
troduced. The remainder of the space
In the box Is rilled with scraps of metal.
Then the lid is soldered on.
All that Is then necessary la to place
the box upside down at the spot In
which It Is to explode. The add eats
quickly through the cork of the bottle
and comes In contact with the chlorate
of potassium. As a result of the chem
ical combination which takes place
there Is a terrific explosion. Chicago

THE ESPOUSAL '
Anoisnt Ceremony of the Mutual
Premise of Marriage.
The first part of the matrimonial of
fice was anciently termed the espousal,
which took place some time prior to
the actual celebration of marriage.
These espousals consisted, In a mutual
promise of marriage, which was made
by the man and woman before the
bishop or presbyter and several wit
nesses. ;
After them the articles of agreement
of marriage, called tabuloe matrlmo
niales, which are mentioned by Augus
tine, were signed by both persona. Aft
er this the man delivered to the wom
an the ring and other gits, an action
which waa termed subarrbatlon, Iu
the latter ages the espousals bave al
ways been performed at the same time
as the office of matrimony In all the
churches abroad, and it has long been
customary for the ring to be delivered
to the woman after the contract has
been made, which has always been In
the actual office of matrimony.
The ring Is a special token of spous-
age. In some of the old manuals for
the use of foreign cathedrals before
the minister proceeds to the marriage
he la directed to ask the woman's
dowry viz, the tokens of -epousage-
and by these tokens of spousage are
to be understood rings or money or
some other things to be given to the
woman by the man, whlcn giving Is
called wedding or covenanting, espe
cially when It Is done by the giving of
a ring. New York Tribune.
Knew Him at Once.
There are other sure ways of bring
ing a man to mind besides mentioning
his name. Among the candidates who
were sent from Princeton to a Phila
delphia church was one young man
whose language was of the sort which
dazzles and delights the younger mem
bers of a congregation and sometimes
pleases the elders as weil. ,In this case
the committee were besieged to ask
for the young man again, and they
consented, but unfortunately the man
to whose lot It fell to write the letter
had forgotten the candidate's name.
Nothing daunted, he wrote to one of
the seminary professors:
"Please send us that floweret, stream
let rivulet cloudlet starlight and
moonbeam young man again. We've
forgotten his name, but we've no doubt
you'll recognize him."
"We ao." wrote the professor. And
the desired candidate was sent ant'
subsequently was called to the parish
Te Extraot Essenoa From Flowsrs.
Procure a quantity of the petals of
any flowers that smell sweet and fra
grant Take thin pieces of muslin or
fine linen and after having dipped
them In good Lucca oil or Florence oil
place them as layers between the pet
a Is. Sprinkle a small quantity of fine
salt on the flowers and put a layer of
linen and a layer of flowers alternately
until an earthen vessel or wide mouth
ed glass bottle la full. Tie the top
over with oil silk or parchment; then
lay the Teasel In a south aspect In the

when uncovered, a fragrant oil may be

Our plays are for the most part over

and tnapproprlateness obtaining la
