AN UNKNOWN LAND.
A rortion f This Country Never
Trodden ly AVhlte Men.
Seattle Press.
Washington has her ereat unknown
land, like the interior of Africa. The
country shut in by the Olympic Moun
tains, which includes an area of about
2,000 miles squair, has never, to the
positive knowledge of Old reeidenti of
the territory, been trodden by the
foot of man, white or Indian. These
mountains rise from the bvel country.
within ten or fifteen miles of the
Straits of San Juan de Ffica, in the
north, the Pacibc Ocean in the west,
Hood's Canal in the east and the basin
of Quinault Lake in the south, and,
rising to the hight of 6,000 to 8,000
feet, shut in a vast unexplored area.
The Indians have never penetrated
it, for their tradition say that it is
inhabited by a faerce tribe which none
of the coaBt tribes dare molest.
Though it is improbable that such a
tribe could have existed in this moan
tain couniry without their presence
becoming known to the white men,
no man has ever ascertained that it
did not exist. White mes, too, have
only vague accounts of any white man
having ever passed through this
country, for investigation of all the
claims of travelers has invariably
pro red that they have only traversed
its outer edges.
The most generally accepted theory
in regard to this country is that it con
sisted of great valleys, stretching irom
the inward slopes of the mountains to
a great central basin. This theory is
supported by the fact that, although
the country round has abundant rain
and clouds constantly bans over the
mountain tops, all the streams flowing
toward the four points are lnsignm
cant and rise only on the outward
slopes of the range, none appearing to
drain the great lakes shut in by the
mountains. This fact appears to sup
port the theory that streams flowing
from the inner slopes of the mountains
feed a Sreat interior lake. Bat what
drains this lake! It mart have an
uotlet somewhere, and, aa all the
streams pouring from the mountains
rise in their outward slopes, it must
have a subterranean cutlet to the
ocean, the straits or the sound. There
aie great discoveries in store for some
of Washington's explorers.

Kissed Her for the Cigars.
Albany (N. Y.) Express.
"1 d give twenty-nve cents for per
mission to kiss that girl." remarked
an insipid looking youth on, an Albany
Douna train tne oiner mgnr, inaicai
ing with a motion of his hand an un
usually handsome young woman
asleep in a seat near bj. The young
man was one of a group standing in
the rear of the crowded car. Another
young man said:
"You have my permission, sir,
gratis."
" H raid she wouldn t regard it as
sufficient," laughed the first.
"1 don t know, replied the other.
"I have a good deal of influence with
f ood looking girls. IJ1 tell you what
'11 do. I'll bet a good cigar I can
kisB her without waking her.
"Done!" cried the insipid youth,
"I'll give you a cigar if you dare do it
anyway, and two more if she don't
wake up."
"It's a go."
' The daring young man stepped up
to the seat where the pretty girl slept.
leaned oyer softly and kissed her
squarely and audibly upon her mouth.
She stirred, smiled a little, but did
not wake. The croup of men had
watched the proceeding in breathleta
suspense, and a long and simultaneous
sigh broke from them as young In
pudence straightened up after the
operation and rejoined the group, sev
era I passengers who had seen the au
dacious performance staring at him
in astonishment.
"By Jove! that was elegant!" the
fellow of insipid aspect exclaimed as
he handed the successful kisser his
three cigars.
But there was another reckoning to
Le nude, lho couductor came hur
rying down the aisle and "went for
the daring passenger, metaphorically
speaking, 'hammer and tongs, cry
ing:
"Sec here, young man, don't yc
ever try that again! Are you a gen
tlcman, sir? Don't you know that I
can arrest you for such a performance
as that:
The young mau colored, but laughed
nervously as lie answered. ' Ao,
don't much believe you can. I guess
there isn t any American law against
a fellow's kissing his own sister is
there?"
It had not appeared yet,whether or
not the young woman learned of her
brother's a&tonishing exhibition of
disrerpect, or whether, if she did, her
displeasure lessened the gratification
den red from the cigars won in such
a questionable manner."
A Soft Snap.
There is a "prophet" on the Island
of Java who has been paid $400
per year for the last thirteen years
'to not predict a tidal wave which
will sweep clear over the island.''
The native believe that he has to
only predict to set a wave in mo
tion. If any body has a softer snap
lei him be heard trom.

ESCAMPMENT POSTPONED.

Postponed Till March 12.
Salem. Feb. 7. On account of
the washouts caused by the flood
the annual u. a. it. encampment
at Eugene has been postponed until
March 12. Special orders to this
effect were issued to-day by Com
mander E. B. AlaLIroy. Ihe j.
A. R. posts of the state will be

running condition again. Depart
ment Commander McElroy de
termined upon this postponement
to-day. Prior to taking this action,
however, he consulted with all

Portland, Feb. 7. William
Stewart, a Scotchman, aged about
40 years, jumped from a third story
window of the St. Charles hotel
this morning and received injuries

concussion cf the brain, besides
having a number of bones broken.
The man is supposed to be insane.
WHY THERE WAS NO NEWS.
Telegraph Wires Recovering: from
Their Crippled Condition.
Portland, Feb. 7. The Even
ing Telegram contains no dis
patches this afternoon, on account
of the great rush of business which
has completely flooded the tele
graph offices since the eastern wires

far north as Riddles, and by G
o'clock will reach San Francisco
direct. They now handle San

INTERESTING FIGURES.
The Enormous Receipts of the
United States Treasury.
For the nscal year ending June
30, 1S89, the total receipts of the
TjDited StAtes treasury were $387,
050,058. 84. Nearly $254,00
000 came from customs and nearly
$130,000,009 from interna! revenues
Secretary Wiodom is in favor of
tariff revision.
For 1890 the estimated treasury
receipts will reach the sum of
$385,000,000; the estimated ex
penses of government $298,000,000
After all available bonds have been '
purchased and the requirements of
the sinking fund satisfied, there
will still remain a net . surplus of
over' $43,500,000 some of which
Secretary Windom thinks might
well be used to enlarge our foreign
markets. He is decidedly of the
opinion that part ot the money
should be paid to American steam
ship lines, to enable them to com
pete with suk6idized foreign ves
sels. He says the United states
baa encouraged the building of
railroads by large grants and sub
sidies, bul has net one thing for
her great maritime interests, refus
ing even fair compensation for
services rendered by steamers to
the government.
In 1879 the pension list amounted
in round numbers to $35,000.0007'
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1890, $104,000,000 is the amount
expected to be required. Appar
ently the old war veterans are get
ting wounded over again.
On the other hand, however, the
interest on the public debt amount
ed in 1879. to more tbn $105,000,
060. This year it will be $36,000,
C00. We are going to get rid of
that moucv somehow.
Under existing laws, the inter
nal revenues receipts will be in
creased this year to $135,000,000.
The tax on tobacco aione will not
be less that $82,000,000 for the
coming year unless congress takes
it off. In that case the surplus
nil! be reduced by th:.t amount.
A tax cf over $5,000,000 is at
present eolkcted from G.000.00G
gallons of alcohel cocsuincd in the
industrial arts and io medicines.
