This singular announcement is ex

Michell of Wa-co, in the senate, and
Myers of Multnomah, in the house,
introduced a bill authorizing express
companies to bring sheep into the
state in lots of not more than five ani-
mals each, without having them ia
spected. The object is to do away
with the troublesome and expensive
requirement wbi-n suljecis even a
single sheep to official inspection.
Express companies do not transport
6beeo to market or betweeu ranges,
but handle chiefly the finest animals
designed for breeding purposes.

ments, swearing that it has deposits
of money sevtnty-five per cent of
which, it is stfe to persume, belongs
to Wasco county taxpayers to the

tne fact that the other bank has depos
itors any where from a quarter to half
a million belonging to the same tax
payers, and the still further factof hun
dreds of nest-eggs hidden away in aged

A 11111 Introduced by RepreMntatlve Rob
prts of I tale toautj.
Representative A. S. Roberts has
introduced a bill in the legislature for
tbe protection of sturgeon in tbe Col
umbia river, that is given in full be
low. Tbe bill appears to have merit,
and since stuigeon fishing has become
an industry of considerable importance
in this section, there should be a law
regulating the manner of taking these
fish and preventing the destruction of
i he young fish. This, Mr. Robert's bill
appears to do. It is as follows:
Section 1. Hereafter it shall Dot he
lawful for.any persons to lake, capture,
sill, or to nave in; their pos'ssion,
fier the same has been taken, i-aptured
or killed, any sturgeon between tne
first day of March and the first day of
Noveraner in each and every year, un
der a penalty of twenty dollars for
each and every sturgeon so taken,
captured, killed, or bad unlawfully.
Section 2. It shall not be lawful
at any time to take or kill any yourg
turgeon under four feet io length, i r
dsh for the same by any device or ap
pliance whatever in the waters of the
Columbia iiver;and any person or
persons fishing wiih gill nets, fish-
wheels or other fishing apparatus
whatever in the waters of the Oolum
hia river, who, on lifting, drawing,
taking up or removing any of said nets.
or other fishing apparatus, shall find
voung sturgeon under four feet in
length entangled or caught therein,
shall immediately, with care and. the
least possible injury to the fish, disen
gage and let loose the same and trans
mit the fish to the water without
violence. Any person or persons
violating any of tbe provisions of
this section, or having in their posses
sion young sturgeon under four feet In
length, eithefor consumption f r sale
or who is known to willfully destroy
tbe same, for so offending shall, on
conviction thpreof, be punished with a
fine of five dollars for each and every
fish so caught, sold or destroyed.
Section 3. It shall be unlawful to
cast, extend, set, use, or continue, or
assist in casting, extending or using
any Chinese sturgeon lines, or lines of
a sim'lar character, in the waters of
the Colbmbia river. The fish com
missioner and any of his deputies are
hereby authorized to seize and destroy
any such lines found in said waters,
and they are hereby authorized to ar
rest forthwith any person or persons
uetectei in setting or using any
Chinese sturgeon lines, or lines of
similar character, in tho waters of the
Columbia river. Any person violating
any of the provisions of this section
shall be fined in a sum not less
than twenty-five dollars and not more
than one hundred dollars.
Section 4. Inasmuch as there is

The senatorial contest is not materi

EDUCATION OF THE BLIaD.
People who claim something good
can come nut of Chicago are pointing
to the N. T C-, a recent production of
of the windy city, to prove their the
ory. The N. T. C. is, the Non Treat
ing Club." It was oruaniz d- not long
ago by a lot of railroad mea with tbe
object in view of stopping' the per
nicious habit of taking as many drinks
as there are men in a crowd, because
tbe crowd happens to have money
enough to pay for it. Etch member
wears a button and carries card
wherein he is pleceed to take a diiuk
in a saloon when he wants it and not
to treat any one who is a member.
This is th sort of club that will
meet with the approval of many tem
perance oeople who. misguidedly, will
think that it wjll have a tendency to
prevent drunkenness. In the first
place it will not, for no member will
keep the non-treating pled ye consistently-
Further, if the members do.
by chance, keep the pledge, it will
promote individual drinkintr, which
produces t at variety of a '"j t" known
as as a ''lonesome," the most per
nicious and dangerous in character of
all "jigs. Men who go on'Monesomes"
are the ones who go horn apd beat
their wives, who scare little children,
who go moody and melancholy, and
who !-ee blue dogs, green cats and red
white and yellow lizirds in certain
stages of their . career. The "lone
some" U the result of individual drink
ing. A man . who will eo away from
Jome by himself todri k of the cup
that inebriates in solitude is a mm to
beware of. He is likely to ham
string you horses, to poison your dog
or to take a shot at yvnr hired girl,
almost any time.

on his homestead at The Dalles land
office next month. Mr. Hertz about
three years ago had an experience that
nor. often happens He read of his
own death and was mnurnpd by his
friends as having crossed th" dark
river, l ne ":rcnmstarcps of hit re
ported death wrre as follows: He had
met with an sco'dent in a saw mill
and received injuries to his bead
which caused loss of memory, and be
sometimes was unable to recognize
acquaintances Realizing that some'
tbiL.g was wrong with him. without
saying anything to his fripnds he de'
cided to go to Portland and consult
the advice of physicians. None of his
acquaintances saw him leave, but the
last seen of him bb. was sittinr on a
rock on the river bank near Viento.
A few dsys after his disappearance the
brdy of a man was found washed
ashore on a point of land some distance
below Vin torn the epiot-ite side of
the river Seme of his most intimate
acquaintances pronounced the find the
body of Fred Hertz Hertz read of his
dath in the Oregonian. After spend
ing a few days in Portland he went to
California and rlnced himcelf under
the oaie f the tkilltd doctors in the
apylum at Stockton. . The doctors tre
pancfd his skuil aud he got well. On
returning to Hood Hiver he found that
bis Id neighbors had believed the re
port of bis death. Bis cabin had been
tri ken ir to ar.d all his rcrforsl prop
erty, including a kit of millwright
tools, and even the top of bis cook
stove, was carried ft. His trip to Cal
ifornia cost him $5f0, but he will
never begrudge tbe money as he is
now a sound man and bis memory is
as good as ever. Hood River Glacier,
