THURSDAY.
JAN. 2. 1890
LOCAL AND VE5ERAL.
-The dime sociable at the residence
of Dr. Bailey last Thursday erening was
a prent feiiccess. Financially it raised
some $14 fur the fund of the Cougrega
t ton ill church. Socially every one had a
gottd time, and we have heard it several
times remarked this week that somehow
there wit such a genial element of hearty
good will in the gathering of so rnauy
people of all agea and denomination
that one seldom has the good fortune t
experience. We, from observation, feel
iuclmnd to believe. that in addition to
the kindly and courteous welcome ex
tended by the host and hostess with
their elegant refreshments, the presence
of so many of our young people from a
. , distance had quite a pleasing effect upon
the inhabitants who were glad to see
them back among us again, even though
ply for a few holidays.
"What is in a name," is a very com
mon saying, but occasionally there is a
great deal in one. For example, a man
giving the name of Riley Clearwater,
and who is an old resident in this county,
was in town the other day. We are well
informed that in one establishment the
departure of the gentleman with the
above name caused quite an interval ol
aerious cogitation on the part of the
young men employed therein. How
anything could be clear and riley or
riley and clear was quite a conundrum.
One could see that some question requir
ing deep penetration was absorbing the
attention of their, youthful minds. The
advice to think it over while standing
on the head was probably acted on lj
the youngest fellow, but we have not
been informed as to the results.
-Influenza is assuming a very grave

sudden colds, and the lung troubles pe

Influenza will probably be an un
welcome visitor among us in a few days.
It is now this side of the Rocky mount

Rooster Rock on the Columbia, was re

cigarettes to a minor. We are pleased
to see the law at least partly enforced .
A poor old woman in Denver got
$5000 worth of life insurance the other

1 he Baptist festival in the Grange

' than a success. The place was crowded
to the point of being almost uncomfort

excellent music by the choir followed by
ome nice melodies from the orchestra.
Bev. J. A. Campbell now engaged in
prayer. Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Wheeler of
the Baptist Sunday school mission then
delivered very seasonable addresses to

returned thanks for the provided re
freshments. This he did standing be
hind his chair which we learn
one audacious young man removed,
to accommodate his girl, thus
reminding us of the nece sity !
of watching as well as praying.
Aa excellent supper was next served and
games introduced which occupied the
attention of many young people until
the arrival of the new year. Some $21
was cleared by the proceedings.

An Elk Hunt,
In a conversation with the Hon. T. B.
Handley since his return from Tillamook
we incidently learned that he had been
on the war path against the elk tribe,
and had succeeded in scalping one. Be
ing curious to know the particulars of
the elk hunt, a reporter of this paper
after some persuasion succeeded in ob
taming the following particulars from
Mr. Handley.
It seems that Sir. Handley accom
panied by his son George, while wander
ing between Tillamook and Nehalem in
search of a good homestead for another
member of the family, came across the
feeding grout ds of a t-mall band of elk.
Several days afterwards having obtained
the use of a dog trained to elk hunting,
and having armed themselves with Mar
lin repeating rifles, they started out for an
interview with the elk tribe. In les
tban half a day the dog succeeded in
bringing to bay one of the band. This
was easily known by the baying of the
dog. On coming in sight of the elk
Mr. Handley, George and the owner of
the dog opened fusillade upon the ani
mal which they severely wounded. It
then turned from the dog and dashed
down the mountain side anil made for
the beach, a distance of aliout two miles
The dog pursued, and the hunters in
single file at various distances followed
the dog. On arriving at the beach the
elk plunged into the water and swam
out through the breakers into the deep
sea. He swam about a mile along the
coast at a safe distance from it, when
feeling exhausted from the loss of blood
he made for the shore and fell dead in
about two feet of water.
The hunters bv this time had arrived
in sight and rushed down to where the
noble animal had just expired. They
cut his throat with a large knife and
the water was reddened with the blood
for a considerable distance around. It
was a large animal, and they were com
pelled to quarter it before they could
take it from the water.
The whole adjacent settlement had
elk meat in gatore for the next few days.
The owner of the dog obtained the ant
lers as a trophy. Mr. Handley think
that this elk must have weighed at
least 1100 pounds. Each antler had
seven branches, and the distance from
tip to tip was four or five feet.

that when there shall aris- in ihcircouu

nople and Christian worship to the
mosque of St. Sophia. The name of the
Duke of Sparta, heir to the throne of
Greece, is Constantino, and by his mar
riage to the sister of the German em
peror he gets a wife named Sophia.
Meantime, if the young I hike of Sparta
is as happy in his domestic life as his
father ami mother hare been, he will be
fortunate and happy whether be ever
fulfills the prophecy or not. A newspa

sketch of the 6itnple democratic life of
King George and (jueen Olga, It is sim

American president. Their majesties
walk about the streets unattended, as
Lincoln used to do. They are devoted
to each other, and seem as happy as the
day is long. So far as known, not even
a whisper of a skeleton in their cupboard
has ever reached the public. They are
handsome, healthy, and they love each
other, and their people are devoted to
them. King George and his queen are
both fond of athletic and outdoor exer
cises, in which they excel. The king
spends much time in hi; office, hard at
work as any clerk. After office hours
he frequently walks in suddenly on some
of his heads of departments in the fol
lowing fashion:

It is melancholy to read of Nevada,
abandoned alike by rain, railroads and
miners. There are towns in the stale
that used to have a population of 15.000
Now they have in some instances less
than a hundred. When the price of ail

the government's gigantic irrigation
scheme covers her arid valleys with smil
ing green, then Nevada will awake, tike
the enchanted princess, and all the scenes
of merry, busy life will be enacted o'er
again.
The Hebrew Journal asks this ques
tion: Whoever heard ef a Jewish vote?
It then proceeds to remark that the Jew

such a thing as a Jewish vote has never
presented itself to our government. Out

President Harrison has given assur-
ance that there is aUmt him nothing of

Nothing shows the advance in naval
guns and ships so much as the case of
the thirteen old monitors left over from
our civil war. Twenty-five years ago
they were considered almost invulnera
ble for coast defense. Their iron plates
are five inches thick, and on the turrets
sleven inches thick. Now a ball from an
enemy's 0-inch gun could easily pierce
their armor at a distance of several
miles. The reason we have so little navy
is because other nations have gone past
us and left us.

Washington City, I). C,
Dec. 23, 18S9. )
Ed. Ixdkpkxdf.xt : On July
16, 1790, George Washington ap
proved the act of congress estab
lishing the permanent seat of gov
ernment of the United States 011
the hanks of the Potomac, and on
March 30th of the following year.
in a proclamation, he defined the
permanent lines of the Federal
district.
The city of Washington is situ
ated on the left hank of the Poto
mac, 185 miles from the ocean . It
has broad, clean, well -paved streets,
and in these three particulars is
not surpassed by any city in the
country. '
The Washington of to-day, how
ever, bears little resemblance to the
place of fifteen years ago. "Boss"
Shepard will be remembered by the
world as a political scoundrel, but
by the citizens of Washington as
a public Ijenefactor. The prosper
ity of the city elates from his
"reign." Prior to this the drain
age was poor, the streets muddy,
and what is now the most fashion
able quarter, was practically a
marsh. All this he changed.
Most of the streets are paved
with asphaltum, of a dark gray
color, and smooth as a floor; this
slopes easily from the middle both
ways, and on account of its smooth
ness, no matter how wet it may
be, half an hour's sunshine will
make it dry. The remaining
streets and avenues are covered
with a superior quality of lielgian
pavement, and the sidewalks arc
all of stone and brick .
With this era of internal im
provement came the increase in
population, and the corresponding
rise in the value of real estate.
Since then it has doubled in pop
ulation, having now alnnit 220,000,
one-third of which is colored.
A United States senator the
other day pointed out to me a
vacant lot on Connecticut avenue,
one mile and half from the capital,
which he could have purchased ten
years ago for ten cents per square
foot, but which could not now le
bought for ten dollars jx.-r square
foot.
Washington is a city of hotels,
landlords, and tenants due largely
to the character of its jopulation,

'
ever, is not so much the c;im- as
formerly, for within the last tight
years the application of the civil
service rules to the non-political
clerical positions have given these
positions a stability, which has in
duced the occupants to invest their
means and live in homes of their
own. Hence it is that the business
men and real estate dealers of
Washington are the most ardent
supporters of civil service reform.
To repeal it would le to unsettle
real estate values, and prevent the
collection of many outstanding
credits.
The area of the city is more than
6,000 acres, of which 2,000 acres
is occupied by parks and streets
the remainder by residence and
business places, and government
buildings.
Before giving in detail the de
scription of any of the many places
of national interest here, it may In.
well, for the benefit of those who,
like myself, until recently, have
never been here, to give the in an
idea of the situation of the gov
ernment buildings and how occu
pied. What is called the capitol build
ing is used wholly by congress and
the U. S. supreme court, and even
then it is not adequate for the
needs. No other government busi
ness is transacted there. On Penn-
isylvania avenue, one mile from the
eanitol. and in sicht of it. is the
i
treasury building, occupied by the
secretary of the treasury and his
army of employes. On the Mock
adjoining this is the White house.
or to use its proper and legal de
signation, the "executive mansion.'
Here the president lives ami has
bis office. lie is rarelv at the
capitol, except on sjiecial occasions.
Across the street from the t-xct utive I
mansion, is the finest public build-j
ing in the world, and it ucd by
the great departments of the state,
war and navy. In another jx.rtion
of the city, several squares distant,
is located the department of the
interior; and near by, the jH-nsion
office, which has an immense
building of its own; while in still
another location i the attorney-
general's office, agricultural depart
ment, postoflice department, and
library buildings. All of these, in
the aggregate, represent an outlay
of fifty millions of dollars in their
erection.
The capital building itself is 750
feet long by 324 in width, including
oorticos. and is located on the
western edge of the plateau of
Capitol hill, in the midst of a park
containing 50 acres. It is of the
Corinthian style of architecture.

!and is composed of stone and
marble. On the north, west and
south, is a grand stairway, consist-
j ing of 64 steps, r.ad a marble ter
f rat-e. which add rtn!lv to the
' r - j
imposing appearance of the struc
ture. From the centre rifce.s tj:e
dome, built of iro!i, and 22S feet
from the ground to the top of the
statue of Arret ica, which surmounts
it, and 135 feet in diameter. The
dome alone cost one million of dol
lars, and the whole building, in
cluding repairs of the injuries clone
by our British cousins in 1S14,
$15,000,000.
The first floor of the cnpitol is
occupied by committee rooms, re st
aurants, etc. On the second floor,
in the north end, is the senate, and
the south end the house of repre
sentatives, while between the centre
and the senate is the supreme court
room, and between the house and
the centre is what used to In? the
house of representatives, but now
is statuary hall. Directly in the
