fence around the court house square, we
shall feel it our duty a? the publisher of
an enterprising paper, to ask subscrip
tions in lft-foot rails to replace the fence
that now disgraces the otherwise hand

will take this matter in hand and have
a neat enclosure constructed, regardless
of the ''kicking" of mossbackism.
Mr. A. Finney has under considera
tion the building of a sidewalk on
Washington street. lie has not yet de
cided to turn his large building, on
Main street, around and add a new
front to it. If this is done, the build

Hillsboro has not one building embel
lished with that magnificent color. By
all means let us hare the red building.

ing for government land. Mr. Knnes,

The decadence of the custom of
saying grace at meals is said to be due
to the prevailing bad cookery. Most of

The attendance at the Hillsboro
Grange last Saturday was unusually
large. The Grange is now in a flourish
ing condition, and has a splendid brick
building in which to meet socially and

for the advancement of their interests.
The ladies of the Grange will please
accept thanks for cake left at this office.
There is trouble in tho democratic
camp at Portland. When the convention
met, a plan to '-knife" Protzniau was
carried out, and resulted in ' war." The
loodlers" succeeded in. "downing"
Protzman, but could not nominate a full
ticket. The convention adjourned. for a
time, and later succeeded in nominating
a full ticket. Protzman thrown down was
not Protzman killed. He arose in great
wrath, shook his mane and roared a la
lion. The rottenness of the ring was
shown through the public journals
under his signature, and the purer ele
ment in his party rushed to his standard
and repudiated the ring, and its corrupt
following. Mr. Protzman called to his
assistance cold facts, which so enraged
those who had been duped that many of
the candidates are decline to have their
names used and have sent in to the secre
tary f the couuty committee their
resignations. Hell hath uo fury like the
wishes of the people scorned. Razors
and reputations are flying in the air.

The wives of nearly all the handsome
men of Hi!!sloro are away visiting rela-

mountains and wondering where the
absent '"lord" is to-nijiht. And the

greeting of a voice that is still. Oh, the
eloquence of the speechless pipe! But
the loneliness of a .silent house is sadden

Aluit n frightful UikMster.
The ocean steamer, Queen of the Pa
cific, well known on this upper coast for
fc mRniticeu(.e, Sllnk on the lower
magniticeuce, sunk on
roRst mt Monday, while entering the
llirbor at Port Harford. Through skill
RU(, coolne9S3 on thc ,mrt of C)lpt. Alex.
nder. the nassen"ers were taken ashore
un,,armeK Thc vessel begun to make
water rapidly dorir- th night, and the
unp! wcre ,lowerie to contend with
V(llume8 of wat tliat 1)0ured in.
The cause of her taking water was the
opening of one of the aft coal ports,
about 30 inches square, which allowed
the ocean to roll in.
By some it is thought that the per
petrator of the deed was actuated by a
spirit of revenge, or that he wished to
repay some grudge he held", but there is
another supposed reason for the act that
is indeed horrible.
PID TITE SPIRITS PO IT ?
Some six or seven weeks ago half a
dozen or more Spiritualists and slate
writers came together with the pre
diction that thc Queen of the Pacific
would go down on this particular trip.
They had a good many seances and
readings and other orgies of a similar
nature, and the result was always the
same. The Queen, they said, was doom-
el to disaster, and some even went so
far as to stake their reputations on the
issne. The predictions were freely cir
culated and reached the ears of the gen
eral agents, who paid no attention to
them.
The slate-writers had it that the
Queen must meet with disaster. They
pointed to her unfortunate record and
ehook their heads ominously. They dis
suaded some people from going on her,
and now they say in a quiet way that
their predictions were fulfilled.
A searching investigation will be made
to ascertain, if possible, whether their
agent9 or some enemy of the company
had that door loosened. No pains or
expense will be spared to get at the lot-
torn facts. I wo nunarcu lives were
placed in peril, and a steamship worth
half a million dollars was jeopardized
by the loosening of the cover.
It is thought the vessel will be raised
to-day.

Mayor Gates, of Portland, is dead.
He was buried with honors Monday. He
was an able and upright man, and leaves
many friends to mourn his sudden death.
After paying a handsome tribute to Ids
executive ability as mayor of Portland,
an exchange of that city says: Some
idea of his ability and faithfulness to
duty may be gained from the fact that
he remained in. the employ of the O. S.
N. Co. during the existence of the com
pany under that name and after it was
merged into the O. It. &. X. Co. for more
than twenty seven vears. He held for a
long time the position of chief engineer
of the river and Sound department.
During this time his active mind was
turned toward many mechanical devices
and improvements, which he introduced
for the convenience of those laboring on
the steamboats under his charge. He
held in all nearly thirty patents.
Judge It. Crandall returned from
his visit to Minnesota last Monday. H
says the lakes were still frozen over
when he left there on the 16th of April.
He was delayed in coming by the fire at
I he snow -sheds near one of the tunnel.
Mr. Crandall was telegraphed to from
Portland that his son Max not expected
to live, and for him to return as soon
as possible
There was some delay in j
delivery of the message, and he missed
the train nt St. Paul. His great anxiety
caused him to hire a conveyance and
hurry to Minneaolis, where he hoped
to take a train for the west.
He arrived at that city five
minutes too late, and so was delayed
a few hours. After once boarding a
train for home, he was almost reconciled
to his delays, when coining to one of
the tunnels, a delay of some time was
caused by fires in the snow-sheds. He
was now completely disheartened, and
expected to find his son dead when he
arrived in Portland. His joy was jjreat
when he found him beyond all danger.
The judge has a severe cold and looks
worn, showing the physical and mental
strain he has endured.
"Say," said the editor's smart little
son, as he entered a store: "Do you
keep knives?" "Oh, ye?," resjonded the
storekeeper; "we've kept them for many

starting for the door, "you ought to ad
vertise, and then yon wouldn't keep 'em
so long."

That feeling of wenriness, so often
experienced in the spring, results from a

The Oregonian in a recent report of
the proceeding of the M-hool Ixmrd of
Portland, says: "Resolutions expressing
the appreciation of the Imard of John
Wilson's untiring, etlicient work as
director, and of their good-will toward
) him, were passed, ordered engrossed and
framed and presented to Mr. Wilson.'
Mr. Wilson was a member t the Itoard

years, ana was largely instrumental in j
causing the erection of the Portland!

A correspondent in the Farmer and
Dairyman asks: Why don't the dairy
farmers emulate the horsemen, who have
spent vast sums of money and the labor
of years to improve the trotting strains
so that a 2 :40 horse is now reckoned as a
scrub, and 2:20 horses are so common
that but little notice Is taken of them,
and yet I remember when a 2 :40 horse
was as much of a phenomenon aa a 2:15
is now. This shows what breeding will
do, and if the dairy farmers would but
follow the example, in a few years 300
pound butter cows would be as numerous
as 2 :20 horses, if not more so for the
natural tendency of well bred cows ia to
the production of milk and cream and
consequently, butter. There have been
phenomenal cows but what dairymen
want is to make the phenomenal cows
numerous and by so doing enhance the
value of the herds, increase their profits
and so letter their condition. Once
when I was lecturing in Minnesota, I
was asked if it were possible to make
twenty cows make as much money on a
farm of 160 acres, as if the land grew
grain and hay. I replied, yes, and more.
A lady w hose husband was in poor health
promised to try it and report the result
tome. She looked after the cows, care
fully attended to the milking, and
personally made and sold the butter.
The first year her net income was 78 ;
she then got a full blood Jersey bull ; the
second year she received J!0.-,; the third
year 1218; the fourth $ir,00; the fifth
year $1800; and again changing bulls,
and adding six cows to the herd, the
natural increase, she received, netted
$2800 . The best yield of grain, hay and
stock had been a trifle over $1500. Now
what the Minnesota lady did can, I be
lieve, be done by the dairymen of Oregon.
The around was never in better con
dition for forcing vegetable life than last
