The Cinu'atlne Library. .
It Is not everyone who can afford a
library of hie own. In fact were one
to purchase every book he might de
sire to read, he would pood find him
self incumbered with more books than
he would know what to do with, and be
sides would be out a vast amount of
money. In order that all who desire
to read standard works, and still are
not prepared to supply themselves with
the same , circulating libraries are es
tablished and maintained in almost
every city. Some three months since
Misses Owen & Van Duyn established
a circulating library in The Dalle',
with about 150 volumes of choice works
by standard authors on English litera
ture, history and fiction, and while
the library has not met wi'h the en
couragment that it should, there are
about 30 contributors who are deriving
much benefit from the use of the books
it contains. The membership fee is
$1.50 while the dues are only 25 cents
a month. ' Each member is allowed
the use of any book in tfie library two
weeks, or may return the book in a
shorter time, though none are per
mitted to take more than one book
from the library at a time. Mis9es
Owen & Van Duyn are continually ad
ding to the library the latest and most
popular works, and should certainly
meet with hearty encouragement in
their commendable efforts.

A Carious Indian Find From Mrmaloose
Island.
A email job-lot of Flathead and other
curious Indian relics, found by Mr,
Hays, of the O. R. & N. Co., at Merua-
loose island, some distance up tie Co
lumbia, eays tho Oregonian, is on ex
hibitlon in a drugstore window at the
corner of First and Jefferson streets,
in this city. There are several thigh
bones and remarkable Oathead skull?,
a dozen or so strings of wampum of an
cient make, and a lot of old coins and
tokens, one bearing the date 1820.
But the most remarkable and puzzling
thing about the collection ia a large
number of ancient brass buttons found
with the other things. Each bears a
number, several being "No. 6," others
'No. 4," "No. 12," '-No. 24," etc. Be
sides the number is the legend in
French: "Je renais de mes cendres,"
nearly surrounding a conventional
representation, in relief, of the "fabled
phoenix." Translated the expression
is, "I shall arise (be born again) from
my ashes."
Where did these curious buttons
come from? How did they get into the
possession of the Indians? There are
several different sizes of them as well
as numbers, suggesting the probability
of their having belonged to different
srarments such as coat and waistcoat
of some uniform, the numbers suggest
ing different companies or stations in
companies. There is something about
them that looks nautical; several other
buttons in the collection aredistinctly
naval, bearing anchors in relief. Did
some French ship, long years ago, sail
up the Columbia, and did some of its
crew, going ashore, fall into the hands
of the savages and lose their buttons
as well as their lives in this far land?
It is usual for the Indians to place with
their dead, relics of war and the chase,
gathered by the departed warriors in
their lifetime.
However, it is quite probable that
no such tragedy as suggested is needed
to account for the buttons. Bright
brass buttons were often used by e-irly
traders in their dealings with the In
dians. Still, it would be interesting
to know, even then, what the buttons
were originally intended for, and the
reason for the strange device.
The relics were found on the summit
of the highest rock on Memaloose isl
and. The island stands out in the Co
lumbia about 15 miles below The
Dalles, and from times prehistoric has
been a cemetary for savages. Its name
is Chinook for "death." It has been
raided by relic hunters many times,
until little is left to repay a visit for
that somewhat (from the Indian's point
of view) questionable purpose. It is
said that the Indians themselves, find
ing that their dead were no longer
safe from the desecrating hands of the
relic hunters, have removed man 7
bones to a more remote and hidden
resting place. For a time and, indeed,
it is said, until quite reoently, it was
dangerous for a white man to go to the
island to bunt relics, as the Indians
had armed guards posted determined
to kill.
SETTLERS LOSE LIEU LANDS.
IT. S. 8npreme Court Decides In Fayor of
the Railroad.
A decision of vital importance to
settlers on lieu lands throughout the
entire west as affecting their rights to
these lands, has been rendered by the
United States supreme court, in which
the Northern Pacific gains a signal
victory in a contention lasting over a
period of twenty years.
It is the first time that this tribunal
has had occasion to pass on the point
in ques'ion and the decision is a direct
reversal of the land department deci
sions covering the above period. In
short, it means that settlers upon
thousands and thousands of acres of
lands within the Northern Pacific
grant, have in nine out of ten cases no
right to the possession thereof, but the
land reverts to the ownership of the
railroad company.
The supreme court decision as defin
ed by Dudley, Bunn & Dudley, land
attorneys for the Northern Pacific,
holds that occupation and cultivation
of these premises at the date in which
the company's rights attached when
unaccompanied by any filing of a claim
in tne proper land offlee, then or
thereafter, will not attach to the land
a claim or right which would except it
from the railroad company's grant:
that to attach a claim to land, sufficient
to except it from the grant requires
the - proper - proceedings before the
local land offices in addition to resi
dence, settlement or cultivation of the
lind.
This is a reversal of the doctrine
that has ruled in land department
decisions for over thirty years and is
the most important question arising
in the construction of the congres
sional land grant. The departmental
doctrine here overturned has been the
basis of nine out of every ten decisions
that have been rendered adversely to
the railroad company's contention.

Orrg-on City Locks Damaged.
A big break occurred in the wall of
the canal at Oregon City last Saturday,
which prevents the passage of boats
for several days. The Pacific Bridge
Company's men had excavated some
what under the canal in building the
extention of the new power-house, and
the rotted timbers proved unequal to
the strain of supporting tbe bottom
and wall. '. The steamer Eugene was

' When the eyes are treated fairly
they are strengthened, not weakened,
by work, says the Philadelphia Times.
Just as the arms of a blacksmith
grow the stronger for his trade, so the
eyes of watchmakers who work under,
healthy conditions arc found to im
prove and not to deteriorate in vigor
and quickness. It is the abuse of the
eyes, not their use, which is to be
avoided.
I If a man is aware either that his
eyes need no artificial correction or
else have received their proper adjust
ment, and if his work, whether liter
ary or mechanical, is done in a light
both steady and sufficient and with a
due regard as to ordinary sanitary
rules, he may fell sure that he is
strengthening his eyes, not weakening
them, by hard work. Men of intel
lectual pursuits sometimes are afraid
of losing their mental powers in old
age because they have drawn so much
upon them when youmj. The reverse
is nearer the truth, and if they have
not overtaxed their brains the fear ia
absolutely groundless.
The man whose intellect goes first
in old age is generally some farmer or
laborer wha has never strengthened
and invigorated it by use; not the
politician, the lawyer or the man of
letters. . So with the eyes. Those who
have strengthened their eyes by using
them properly keep keen sight longer
-than those who have never trained
them. In the case of the man who has
neglectedTto give his eyes full develop-

LABOR EXCHANGE.
Will
Aa Institution Which Is Proposed
be Beneficial to Prodacers.
An effort is on foot to establish
branch of what is known as the "labor
exchange'' at this place, and a number
of producers throughout the country
are taking a considerable interest in
the matter.
The plan on which the exchange
proposes to operate is somewhat novel
though it appears to have some com'
mendable features. The purpose of
the organization is to establish a ware-
bouse where the products of the farm
may be stored and at once placed upon
the market at the prices prevailing on
the day when stored. When the
product is deposited certificates are
issued against it; for instance if
farmer stores 100 bushels of wheat, and
the ruling pi ice is 60 cents, he receives
certificates of deposit to the amount of
(60, not in money, but in merchandise
out of tbe warehouse, since it is in'
tended that the exchange shall carry a
full line of staple articles, groceries
and dry goods. It is expected that
these certificates will circulate as
money in the community, since they
will always be backed or secured by
the merchandise in the warehouse,
hence it is claimed that the circulating
medium of the community will be in
creased through the workings of the
exohange.
It is not intended to make the ware
house a lace for speculative storage.
but whatever is placed in it will be
sold immediately or exchanged for
merchandise. To pay the running ex
panses of the concern a light commis
sion will be charged for handling the
ptioduce and also merchandise will be
Sold at a slight advance over the whole
sale priceft.
"What is claimed fcr the exchange is
that it will furnish a ready market for
all manner of produce, since when the
demand here is supplied the exchange
will look elsewhere for a market; that
it will supply producers with staple
most abreast of the break when the
wall gaye way. Six men were work
ing'iust in front of and below tbe
breaking timbers. There was suffi
cient warning for the men to get at a
safe distance before the flood rushed
through, and the steamer was also
gotten through the locks. The break
took away about 60 lineal feet of the !
wall, and the bottom of the canal
about half-way across the channel.
Tbe water carried away car tracks and
other temporary structures used in
building the power-bouse extension,
pipes and flumes connecting the paper
mills and some timbers. The damage
is comparatively small, but a few
hundred dollars, outside of the incon
venience to navigation and the paper
mills.
A Pleasant Surprise. '
Despite theinclement weather Friday
evening a jolly crowd of young folks
gathered at the home of H. D. Par
kins, and though unpleasant out of
doors, merriment reigned within.
Games and pleasant conversation were
the order of the evening. Time passed han of
rapidly until about midnight, when afc, and sounds had told him of

nounced which was indeed enjoyed by become greatly attached to Prof. Gar
with his otKer bodily functions. When
however, the man who, born 'with
good eyes, has kept them in constant
bard work and vet never strained them

capable of performing their functions
better than any . other organ of to

I A Monkey's Death-Bed Scene.
Prof. Garner's chimpanzee, Elishaba,
recently fell a victim at Liverpool to the
severe weather. The scene at the death
bed was very distressing. Poor Aaron,
the male' chimpanzee, . had been
most assiduous in bis attentions
to his consort . during the whole
of her illness. Prof. Garner was
present during tbe last moments.
and when he put his hand to her heart
to find if it had ceased to beat, Aaron
also, put his hand there, looking np in
the professor's eyes as if inquiring if
that was ail they could do for her.
Aaron would not suffer Elishaba to be
taken from him. and clung to her body
with such tenacity that the professor
was compelled to lay it down on its bed
of straw. The sadness depicted on
Aaron's countenance could not have
been more clearly portrayed on the
face of any human being. Poor Aaron
was not consoled until he had placed
