There was only one passenger, H. E. Nelson,' of Nehalem, who discov ered the would-be highwayman dodging and crouching behind trees. Mr. Nelson was not armed, so he remained in the vehicle, while the driver ventured cau tiously ahead, pistol in hand. At a sharp turn in the road he discovered a man crouching behind a tree and armed with a Winchester rifle. The driver having the drop, the man fled into the woods. Robert Smith, a son of James Smith, engineer of the tug J. M. . Coleman, in Shoalwater Bay, says the Astoriaa, met with an accident at Seaside on bunday. He was out shooting, trailing his gun carelessly behind him, and in this way got some mud in the muzzle". When he noticed this he started to pick it out with a stick, and the trigger snapping against a fence on which he was leaning, dis charges the contents of a cartridge into his hand, completely shattering his thumb and first finger. He was brought to the hospital yesterday and Dr. Belt, of War renton, amputated the finger- -' P. G. Richardson and wife, of Alpine, Morrow county, are in jail failing to give bonds in the sum of $6oo each, at Hepp ner, on a charge of destroying a buggy, the property of Mrs. Kate Parsell, a neighbor. Every spoke in the wheels .was cut outthe tongue sawed and hacked up, the top demolished, and the whole such a wreck that there is no hope of re pairing it, A saw and ax which gave evidence as having been used in the de struction of the vehicle was found in the Richardson house. The ax was .full of nicks, and the. handle still had buggy paint on it, though there had. apparently been some effort made to scrape it off. A very short time ago, says the Lake County Examiner, fiery meteor was. seen near Cloverdale, which is just over the county line in Lake county, Calit. The' meteor-fell on the ranch, of F. K.

A Michigan exchange says: "The female atndanta of Ann Arbor. Michigan, have adopted a rainy weather costume which might be Drotitablv imitated by Oregon la- diet.

A poor demented young man was bronght into Peudleion yesterd y morning, who first gave his name as Smith; but afterwards sai l bis came was not Smith bat was C. A. RilstoV of which he w not ashamed.

Notwithstanding the fact that it is only two weeks to Christmas the air i not cold, and the ground is bare of snow and roses are in bloom in gardens.

The Blookade. Spukane Review. - The feature of the railroad situation has been a blockade of cars on the' through lines. This blockade has cen tered at Chicago, and at other .terminal points in the west it has also beeii blocked. It is sad that af tjie clpse of October there were 10,000 lpaded cars' waiting to be unloaded or transferred on. Chicago tracks. Western railways have ordered their agents to accept no more east-bound business until some light is seen through, this blockade, Jt is ex pected that itwill take several weeks tq clear the accumulated traffic.

Perhaps there are greater improvements in the science of dentistry tban in any de partment of human knowledge. This was forcibly impressed on our mind to-day while paying a visit to the rooms of G. E. Sanders, D. D. 8., upstairs, over French ft Co.'s bank, on Second street. The docto' is graduated from Michigan university, and thoroughly understands dentistry as a science and does not practice it as a mech anism. We are thankful that the time has passed, even m this western country, when one has to suffer tbe tortures of tooth pull ing or tooth filling nuder the clumsy manip ulations of him who has no knowledge of anatomy and who does not understand the modern appliances and use of anaesthetics t do the work quickly aud to relieve pan when positive nerves are the subjects which come in contact with the operator's instruments. Dr. Sanders has provided himself with every accessory, and has lately introduced an electric motor which operates the ham iner and bur. By this meaus the strokes of the hammer are quick ned and filling done with less pain. The speed of the bar also answers the same purpose, and the work is done with greater ease to the patient and much more quickly. The doctor uses eleo trioity almost altogether in preparing and filling teeth, and this has proved vastly su- nerior tn the method formerly in use. He has also attached his motor to a fan, which fives a refreshing breeze, ana greatly au- o - ministers to the comfort of the person nn dergoing operations daring the warm days of summer. If necessary, pitroos oxide. Hay's h pnotic, ether or cocaine wdl be ad ministered for tbe painless extraction of teeth, or if the nerves cannot bear tbe strain of a tedious operation, Regulating teeth is a branch ot advanced dentiatry, and the doctor th (roughly under stands this process, and manufactures All bis appliances. An irregular tooth can be brought in proper position, and the month made more 1 eautiful by the means now known to scientific dentistry. The doctor showed os casts of sets of teeth, which he had regu'ated, which appeared in perfect symmetry. It is a pleasure to think that now one has not to hold tightly to some object, in order to "screw his courage to the sticking point when he desires an old torn en tor drawn from his mouth, or the decayed shell of a tooth thoroughly cleansed and built up nearly as oli 1 as ever; bat can sit in an upholstered chair, cogitate upon chilcsophv. art or literature, and be fanned to cool the fleets of. the heated summer ZJDhvr on nts prow, wnne ins scientist not the mechanic with electric ity at his command, performs the opcratiou quickly and 'aiolessly. He is also prepare! to do bridge and crown work, end vast clnmitjam plates, do chafe's method qf combining gold and rub ber, and make continuous gum teeth, speci mens (of which, of his own make, can be seen at bis rooms. Dr. Sanders is enjoying an excellent practice, and as he has made bis home with us and follows dentistry because he pos- sesses scientific knowledge of its relation to the hu 1 su body and is attached to tbe pro fession, be deserves uccess.

DeWert. Up to that time no living thing had been found in the cold and unruffled waters of the lake, and it was a isputed qneition whether fish could live at tnat btgb altitude 7000 feet.

There is no politics in it. conse quently when people get tired of discuss ing the presidential canvass in all of the sharp disagreements which that exercise implies, they can get together and re lieve the strain, Republicans, Democrats and the rest, on the good road issue. It took the average American who is nothing if not good natured, patient and long suffering many years to appreciate tnat bis country was cursed by its roads. But now that he has a realizing sense of that vital fact, he is resolutely bent upon radically reforming them. From all parts of the country come reports of movements of greater or less importance having for their object the building of roads upon a scientific system, upon a system which will secure roads of per manent value, roads which will contrib ute to the advancement of the common prosperity.

Pope, who is heartily enlisted in the cause of good roads, does not express himself too strongly when he says that "Good roads cheapen the cost of transportation by saving time, reducing the wear of draft animals and of vehicles, and thus lessen" the cost of material to the producer and consumer. The modern development of slums,' the wretched outcome of life in tenement houses, can be laid largely to the bad roads existing in the farming districts, which in certain seasons of the year prevent social intercourse, making country life cheerless, isolated and nar row." One of the interesting results of the awakened popular interest in roads is the pending proposition to establish a special department of roadbuilding at the ap proaching World's fair. The 'intention is to give the thousands upon thousands of Americans who will attend the fair an object lesson in roadbuilding, the lesson being re-enforced by an exhibit of roadmaking machinery, which once learned they will reduce to practice in their respective commonwealths. Xot a few thoughtful and . experienced men who have turned their attention to the road problem are inclined to believe that its solution is largely conditioned upon tne co-operation of the national govern ment. Those who hold to this view point out that in the early part of the century no less than sixty acts of con gress were passed after a full discusoion of the constitutional questions involved for the construction and repair of natural roads, while of late years, however, nothing has been done at Washington for roads and practically nothing by state or local authorities. The suggestion for federal aid has tak en shape in a bill which provides for the appointment of a national highway com mission. This commission is to consider the feasibilitv of co-nnaratinn hv Tintrinn. al, state and county authorities i2 a gen era system of road construction; to de vise and formulate plans for the estab lishment of a national school of roads and-bridges; to procure the exhibition at the World's fair of the best methods and appliances for roadmaking, and to pro vide for practical instruction m the art free of cost, and collect and disseminate general information regarding roads and their improvement. -1 here are a num ber pf other provisions in the bill, but these are its mam features. The measure, sq far as its general prin ciples are concerned, has, as we have stated, many level headed backers. And even those who question its feasibility may wen accora it a welcome, since necessarily it will lead to that full and free discussion of the general subject of roadmaking which ought to precede any final determination. This is one of those peaceful revolutions which never go backward,, and which ought to go for ward so dominated by common sense as. ultimately to give the country a system of roads which shall, prove a great bless ing tq our countrymen and help Uncle 6am to achieve his manifest destiny.

The calendar for '93 is of the same general design as that of previous years, consisting of 366 leaves, one for every day in the year, and a cal endar for the entire year. The day of the wek, of the rnonth, and of the year are given, and on each leaf is a short sermon on the "-Gospel of Outdoors, Health and Happiness," with valuable, hints on prac tical road making. The leaves are so arranged 'hat there will be no stub left, and each one can be referred to at any time during the year. The pad is upon a metallic stand of ivory black, arranged so as to rest upon the desk at a conveni ent angle. The pad matter, which in the aggregate is enough to make a book, is all fresh and new, and is of more pertin ent value than that of any previous cal endar. The calendar is issued by the 4 Pope Mfg.

The movement made in the state of Massachusetts, to instruct the board of World's fair managers, of Massachusetts to urge upon the director general of the exposition the great importance of 'a comprehensive exhibit of the construc tion and maintenance of roads, m which roadmaking and roadmaking machinery can be shown as an object lesson by skilled workmen, is a move in the right direction..- Good roads are the most urg ent need of many American rural dis tricts whose wealth and general enter prise fully entitle them to the beat of highways. Instead of this the badness Of American country roads is proverbial. Th" pecuniary loss inflicted upon the United States by bad roads in one year is very great. People in cities may think that this does not concern them, but they are mistaken. The marked check upon trade each spring, owing to well nigh impassable country roads in some sections of the country, is significant evi dence of tbe extent of the actual loss in flicted by the maintenance of highways which would not be tolerated in any civilized country in Europe. A road-, making exhibit at the fair, if properly managed, might serve a valuable educa tional purpose. An Important' Consideration. One of the most important things to be considered in the matter of roads im provement is the width of wheel tires. Narrow tires cut up the roads and form ruts. On all freight and market carta fha tire should be from 4 to. ft inches wide. On all four wheeled freight and other vehicles, for heavy lading the width of the tire should be from 4 to 6 inches. The fore, axle of thelatter class of vehicles should be 10 or 14 inches shorter than the rear axle, according as the tire is 4 or 6 inches wide, so that the hind, wheels may run in a line an inch outside of the surface rolled by the fore wheels. Thus the carts and wagons became roll ers, not cutters. The cart with a 6-inch tire rolls 1 foot in width whenever oa the road, and when loaded, is a heavy roller. The wagon rolls from 18 to 4 inches. raised near New Point, Missouri, and during his present trouble his mother has been constantly near him. She sent what little means she had accumulated during many years to defend him in the courts, and since his imprisonment she has made Salem her home, working to maintain herself and to give the sick boy a few luxuries in his confinement Nearly every day -during these twoears this heartbroken mother has made her way to the prison to see her boy, and now she is rewarded by seeing him a free man He is likely, however, to receive a full pardon from on high. Hunting stories are as mnch renowned for their elasticity as fish "yarns," and we were forcibly reminded of the fact this morning while listening to Mr. J, E. Hardy, relating his experience in shooting geese. To giye the matter in full would take several col umns of the T.-M., but the principal point- may be stated in a few sentences. Geese fly at the rate of 1200 miles in 12 boors; that is, wben at leisure; bat, in an emer gency, they may double this speed. He has seen a flock of geese make seven miles iu a minute, by the watch, and they fiVw along the same as on a holiday jaunt. To be successful in killing geese, one must set his decoys and camp in the ditch, and shoot quickly. There is no nse in attempting to hunt geese on the river; they must be de coyed away from the water, and as the Sock comes within proper distance fire both barrels. Mr. Hardy is an artist with tbe brush, and he is no amateur, by any means, in leinng now to Kin game, it one naa a great deal of leisure time, after becoming somewhat tired of Mr. S. Tburman'a rem iniscences with Hank Monk in Nevada, .he should ''wind op" Mr. Hardy on his txpn riences in hunting, and there would be royal entertainment. Electric Hitters.

It con tains 84 per cent of silica, which makes it superior to any other material of this J nature ever discovered in the known world. These gentlemen were aston ished at such a rich mineral country as this not having been developed to any further extent They will no doubt make some important discoveries here Detore they leave.

" H o H isi BEST mEICii 11 S3 Second St., THE. DALLES, OR. Mr. W. R. CantreU cme to town last evening from Tygh, and from him we learn the particulars of his ' encounters with one of Sam Patteason5 cougars last Sunday on Juniper flat. Some days since the two panthers that Patterson captured and caged rgalned their liberty and Sam killed one in attempting the recap ture and the other he brought back. The -cage consists .of a large dry-goods box with boards nailed over the top, and during Mr. Cantrell's visit the cougar managed to escape. Being a good horseman, tantreii went arter him on the back of a favorite animal, lasso In hand.' Coming up to the brute within proper distance, the rope was thrown around ,his neck, and in his struggles to free himself he became choked, apparently, to insensibility. Can treU jumped oi! his horse to secure the animal, and had securely bound his hind feet when, not being on his guard, the panther reached . his forward paw across his face, scratching it in several places, but not in any manner seriously. Mr. CantreU believes in fun, and can ap preciate a joke e ual to any one; but "bucking" against such tigers as these mountain lions prove themselves to be, he declares, is not in the line of amuse ments or down on the programme.
