ingadozen or more hands. He had
them all assemble at the Cosmopolitan
hotel with their bedding, clothing, etc.,
to await the arrival of the 4 o'clock
train that was to carry them to the
place of work. Just before the train
arrived he pretended to telephone to
the depot and receive word that the
men could not go down on the pas
sengcr, but would take a freight lor

I the men were patiently waiting for the
; freight, and contemplating their good
'ortune ' etting a job during these
i dull times, the railroad boss quietly
disappeared. Eventually it dawned

Williams was a member of the senate
from Oregon at the time of the close of
war, and drafted the bill for the act re
admitting the Southern staves into the
Union, and was also instrumental in
drafting and passing the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution, all of which were
noticed in his lecture. The part Mr.
Williams took in the affairs of the
government' during the exciting times
that followed the close of the civil war
are all matters of history, and won for
him reputation as one of the leading
st itesmen of the time, yet it was
pleasant . to hear them rehearsed by
him whom all patriotic Oregoniana
honor and look upon as a national
benefactor.
Has Evidently Met Oar Bloger. .
The New York World's new woman
has certainly met Oregon's senior re
presentative Bomewhtre in her travels.
She describes the congressional hand
shake as follows:
''If you never shook hands with a
congressman, then you have some
thing yet to live for. As near as it can
be described this Is it: The congress
man appears with his hand promptly
outstretched. Don't be flattered.
That's part of the business. He doesn't
stop shaking hands until a man has
borrowed from him at leasttwloe.
When he sees it is a woman he grasps
clasps perhaps is a better word
your hand and then holds it. He ap
parently forgets it Is your hand at all.
The clasp is close and very, very cor
dial. And he keeps on forgetting.
There's nothing like a congressman's
cordial hand shake to make one feel at
home." .
Population of the State.
The population of Oregon, according
to the census just completed by the
county assessors, is 362,762, an lncreas
over the government census of 1890 of

The Dalle School District.
The taxable property in The Dalles
school district has slightly diminished
during the past three years. The
amount of property in the district, as
certified to by the caunty clerk, and
shown by the records in the office of
School Clerk Jacobsen for 1893 was
$1,413,434; 1894, $1,280,370; 1895, $1,
186,151. At present the district has an
indebtedness of abouf $,000, and the
anpual expenses are in the neighbor
hood of $14,000. It is estimated that a

J. A. Odell, writing to the Spokesman-Review,

00

informed me tbat it was worth 819.40,

or In other words, it was 60 cents
short. I remonstrated with him, and
said tbat I had taken it from a Spo
kane bank for 820 and that it would
have to be taken from me for that
amount. He informed me that they
weighed every gold piece tbat came in.
to the bank.
"In my astonishment, I am sorry to
say, I forget to ask him if . they
weighed every piece that he sent out.
I was so completely astonished that
stood mute until he waited on a num.
ber of customers, then I tried to argue
the question with him, but time is too
precious in the First National bank for
argument. He gave me back my gold
piece and I went back to my hotel. I
was compelled to have some change, so
I thought I would pay my hotel bill to
date and presented the same S20 gold
piece to the clerk for payment. He
looked at the gold piece, then at me,'
and smiled as only a hotel clerk can.
"I have no scales,'. he eald 'to weigh
gold with and cannot take it.' I was
paralyzed again 'and Wondered if I
looked like a gold rimmer or a counter--j
fetter. After I , had sufficiently re
covered I told him that I had nothing
but gold snd that if he collected my
bill he would have to take gold for it.
He said something about retaining my
baggage, and I went forth to get green
backs for my gold. - .1
I went to the Union National bank
and asked the cashier to change a 210
gold piece for me. He dropped It Into'
the scales and told me it was 35 cents
short. This was too much. I began a
harangue upon the East clamoring for
gold and what It demanded of the WeBt,
and then when we Westerners would
bring down the yellow metal with the
stamp of the mint on it, it refused to
take It. The cashier was too busy to
reply further than to say that the
saloons took gold for its stamp value.

A PLEASANT EVENT. r
Eecoptlon Tendered Sir. and Mrs. Aid en
by the D. of H.
One of the most brilliant social
events of the season was the reoeption
tendered Mr. Chas. Aid en and bride by
the members of the Degree of Honor
at Fraternity hall Wednesday evening.
Mr. apd Mrs. Alden returned only a few
days since from a wedding tour to the
Sound, and that night eighty members
of the Degree of. Honor met together
to welcome them home. The hall was
elegantly decorated, with potted plants
and evergreens, and presented a most
inviting appearance. :
The regular . routine work of the
lodge was disposed "of as 'speedily as
possible, after which various social
features were introduced, consisting
of two songs by a'thorus of twelve,
voices, a recitation' by Mrs. Briggs
and a solo by Miss Lizzie Sampson.
Then Mrs. Capt. Watd, in behalf of
the lodge and in a most appropriate
address, presented a souvenir spoon to
Mr. and Mrs. Aided. Hardly had Mrs.
Waud ceased speaking when the chief
of ceremonies announced that a ban
quet would be spread,, and- deft hands
soon arranged five large tables that in
a trice were ladenod with inticing
viands, and a merrier crowd never sat
down to a feast than those eighty mem
bers of the Degree. More than an
hour was devoted to the discussion of
the edibles, when the hall was cleared
and dancing occupied the remainder of
the evening. -. :';
Such Bocials as these are what makes
life worth living. , They tend to draw
members of society more- closely to
gether In the bands of fraternity, and
lessen the burdens which beset the
traveler on life's tempestuous journey,
They are the Uttlo' flower -gardens in
the flight of time, as It were the oasis
in the desert of life. - -
Assembly of Artisans Organised.
Monday night Dr. F. Farnhain organ
ized an assembly of Artisans In this
oity. to be known as The Dalles As
sembly of United Artisans.' The as
sembly organized with a large mem
ship, and the following officers 'were
elected: Master ArtiBan, T: A. Hud
son; superintendent, N. Whealdon; in
spector, Dr. F razor; secretary, D. N.
Roberts; treasurer, Ed. Kurtz. In
stallation of officers will be held next
Saturday evening. ' -i
The order of United Artisans is dis
tinctively an Oregon institution, hav
ing been instituted by Senator J. H.
Mitchell in Portlaad a little more than
a year ago, The object of the order is
to provide fraternal insurance to its
members. an'dItr$trongest claim for
superiarlty among like orders is its
systeniof graded' assessment. Unlike
most - secret societies, ladles are ad
mitted to full membership, and this,
together with the idea of retaining at
home the vast sums Of money that ; are
sent abroad for insurance, accounts for
its phenominal growth, over 900 mem
bers having beea received into the or
der within the past month. The char
ter of this assembly will remain
open until after the installation
of officers, so as to' admit as charter
members all those who desire to join,
and It is expected that The Dalles As
sembly will be permanently organized
with fifty members.

THE CHOP FOB EASTE2X OSEGOX.
Sloro Abont the Products of the
Corn.
Eafflr
The more that is learned regarding
this new variety of corn, the more con
vincing Is the evidence that it is
adapted to the soil and climate of
Eastern Oregon. It has been success'
luily grown in Kansas the past six
years, and the results are most satis
factory to those who have cultivated
it, especially on soil that is not suited
to the growth of wheat, oats and Indian
corn.
The Chicago Tribune has made ex
tensive Inquiries regarding 'the sue'
cess with which this crop has been
cultivated in Kansas and Oklohoma,
and has reached the following conclu
sions:
"Protracted droughts have but little
effect upon Its acreage product, save in
lengthening the time to maturity. It
will average, as a certainty, from 40 to
75 bushels an. acre.' It has now no
market value, being in the exoerimen
tal stage. It will certainly grow well
and yield when. all. other cereals fail.'
matures, within Mess than four
months. It belongs, "to 'the cane, or
broom-corn family, but does not grow
to a height of over four to five feet.
The stalk contains a very large per
centage of saccharine. If 60 wed broad
cast a field of Kaffir corn, resembles a
field of exceedingly rank millet. The
seed plume, or ear, is about 12' inches
in length. The berry, or kernel, is
about the size of plump barley, and
nearly round. It is well adapted to
soils of the poorer quality. '
Those who have raised this new
corn say it is.about as valvable a crop
as the- common corn, and compares
favorably with barley or oats. It is
especially valuable for seed and fodder,
but it is also used to a large extent for
family purposes. It has been thof
oughly tested for stock, and has been
found to be healthful, arid' there is'no
case on record where an overfeed of it
has injured stock. They seek it greed
ily and fatten on it. It is also an ex
cellent grain to feed tb. chickens.'as
they like it and fatten on it rapidly.
It is -a good deal like the Egyptian
corn raised to some extent in Califor
nla, and Is also similar to what is
known as Jerusalem corn. It seems to
be a different " species of ' the Same
general family. In value it is about
the same as common corn, in the judg
ment of local feed dealers and those
who are posted in such matters."
The Banner Lodge of Oregon.
Harmony Chapter, No. 12, R. S.,
which' has just been instituted in this

charter list of any chapter eyer or
ganized in the state, and of the twelve
chapters in this jurisdiction it' stands
second in the number of members.
The membership now consists of thirty-

No Boom For More Twists.

points is now about 50 cents. The de
mand for wheat for esport is reported

cotriing out to the effect that the world';
supply is far less than estimates have
indicated. A London paper states
Tho total product of the wheat

bushels. It Is also stated that Russia's
wheat crop was 50,003,000 bushels short
In 1S95, and the rye crop S0,000,000
short. This came from the decline in
