Majou Adams Dear .'Sir: While hunting on Scappoose bay, the first of this week, I saw four " Mongolian Pheas- ! ants. They were gentle and could easi- ly have been killed. For fear oome one b'.ould kill them through inadvertance ! please note the following facts concern j ing them in the Columbia:.'. The Mon- golian pheasants are about the .size of the ordinary Oregon pheasant.;, but have much longor tail and wing feathers. Their plumage somewhat resembles that of the peacock. In flight they sail, rath er than fly with the swift nation of wing for which native pheasants are noted. The only Mongolian pheasants in this j surprise of the millers as of Mr. Sein IState, and probably in America, are mans himself that the mill had been three, or four pair sent he re about two veal's ago by Hon.

Mr. damr-s Sent mans, a trustworthy farmer living in the southern edge cf Tennallytown, was completely mystified last Monday morning, when being on the wav to his pasture after Ins cows, lie discovered a large three-story brick building on the bill near the old fort, where he was absolutely certain there, vas no such building, or indeed any other building before. Ilubbing his eyes and going nearer, he. saw tha over the front door of the building was a sign bearing the words 'Rochester Flouring Mills." doing in, he was almost thun derstruck to find the mill running, the workman ail engaged as usual, and the general appearance of things one of reg ular activity. Upon conversation with i the men it was found as much to the transported bodily from Rochester, Min nesota, bv the recent cyclone. It was run by water power; and such was the scarcely been excelled for strangeness by anvtbin vet recorded in the history of 1 i cyclones. Wii(hiyton World. vdoi.es. - Wi7ijton World. LOCAL 1133 Another barquo stuck on St. Helen Bar. When the Railroad is ballasted, it will be much better sense to unload and load on cargoes at Columbia City, and mark our word it will done before long. It is getting monotonous as well as expensive to fight "burs" on the Co lumbia as well as " bars " in the woods. cr in the New York Stock Market. It may show grit for a ram to butt a stone wall, but a rani always gets the worst of it. A little sense is worth more than a world of misdirected energy. I The reporter of the mist hunting an item was pointed to a hog who had an ornamental tin-can adhering to his lower jaw in a manner that forbade displace ment. He was pointed to this swine, as "a hog 'putting on airs." On the recep tion of this news he waxed exceeding wroth pei haps because the resemblance was so strong between the hog and Jim Muckle or perhaps it was Jake George's pig tbkt was so greedy it went for canned fruits. This fssur atnnrd di I opinion. . The last road laid out by viewers through Stephen Haines' place runs through his vegetable field and cuts oil his woods pasture from water. This ap pears a big grievance. Tin triginai road laid out avoided all this, there is no steen grade on it, and Mr. Haines has laid cut much la'ior on tins at bis own exnense. Judge Moore is inclined to do the just thing in this affair, and we trust the matter will be adjudicated to the sat- i;-faction of all parties. .We acknowledge the receipt of tickets for self and wife to the Mechanics Fan in Portland commencing Oct. 12; To praise up the Mechanics' Fair would be like painting a lily, scenting a rose or at tempting to scratch your back and pick up chips at the same time. It can't be did. It is beyond all praise, away up a mong the unspeakable tilings. We called at the Trutch house the otlur day, and formed the acquaintance of Mr. Doatrhan. There art two Matth ews brothers living there also. They are all connected, and came out to this country for their health. They appear like ery refined, stylish people, ar.d ev idently were well raised.. They came from Virginia, Cans Co., Illinois. . Mrs. TJpnney has left us for Smyrna, Aroostook Co., Maine. She has been inde.-d sui angel of mercy while here. She-h&s devoid her time to minUtering to the sick and afliicted. We told her we wished some cf cur likely widowers would capture her. Such a woman is a .treasure to any community that is lucky enough to recaist her. Fdward Potter and Schuyler Davis wei t t "looting last Saturday on Sauvio's Island, and did not forget the Editor, furnishing for our larder two tine ducks, Header go thou and do likewise. An Editor has a stomach and pocket book o.i well as brains, and the two stimu'ate the latter to make a readable paper. The world moves. Mr. Iloussell the new teacher, makes his scholars divide their words in syllables when they spell, just as we did. We were ridiculed by old field teachers such as Clendye and oilier of his iik. We were right, but a little ahead of the timos as the Adamses usually are. -.9 Mr. Whitney is improving his steel: of goods all the time, and has a big 'run of custom. He lias milk to t;eli as well as Davenport. We think Whitney and Davenport both show great enterprise in catering to the Public. Mr. Daven port has oysters iu the idiell from the sea board. We regiet to hear or the illness of Mr. Amos Slaveus. We know the first time we saw her we thought thu:;, "you are a little woman but have lots of grit and .vpunk," and our first impression was right, as she is all we took her for, a no ble, energetic, high-spirited woman. - T. A. Cloninger will give a dance at his residence, Oct. 20th. All may ex pect a superb time, as Tom knows how to make a dance boom. It is Mary Mc Kay's birthday, Mr. llamsey is putting in a floor in the Cloninger mansion 20x 40 anticipating the big rush. When at Mr. dill's last Sunday we met Mrs. Larsen and three children and Mrs. Laasun's sister. We saw those fa mous twins Charles Edward and May Helena. At their birth Charles Ed ward was pronounced dead, but carno to and is now the bigger child. Met Mr. lteddick who has been log giiv this summer on Coal creek in Wash ing ton Territory. Mrs. Parthcna Smith, his mother, has bought two lots at For est Grove, has built, and is educating her children. She 13 a lady of much en ergy of character. The competing lines of the R. Its., the N.

Mrs. C. S. Emerson "has moved her family in town to enjoy school privileges. Conn Curry has recovered his health. Conn is a good fellow, and don't you for get it. Mr. Gill says the depot on his place will be called Warren instead of Day view. Mr. E. E. Quick and Richard Cox have a contract to cut cord wood for the R. R.

We have received the Art Amateur for October: One article entitled " Hod room" is just beautiful as well as sugges tive. So much of our" happiness depends on our surroundings, it is wonderful how people have neglected them. People decorate themselves, while their homes are like dens ; it is not poverty that causes this but lick of taste, and simply because they elo not know how. As a case in hand we will mention Mrs. Ben ham, she can make the roughest home look like a palace, she possesses the pow ers of discrimination and combination.
