Yesterday Governor Lord pardoned
Jue Yen, convicted for, murder in the
second degree and' serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary The
grounds for the pardon are that the

On Friday of last week Henry Goeiz
died at the home of nit. motber, in
Albina, age.1 29 years. ' Mr. Goeiz was
well known in The . Dalles, having
worked for a number of years in the
O. R. & N. shops here.
Even if we have a snow storm on our
hands, the. trade of The Dalle is con
sidered to be worth looking after as i
shown, by the fact 'that there are a
dozen -commercial traveller' registeaed
at the Umatilla Home today. '
; People of The Dalles fnel no par-
ticular concern In the regular session
of th, legislature, they having no
particular interest, outside ' of the
amended city charter which will be in
troduced by Senator Michell.

Some Portlanders are proposing to
consolidate the city and county, and
make ' one set of officers suffice for
the two that now exist. The proposi

reduce the present number of officers.
Any measure that proposes to do
away with surplus , officers . should
be encouraged. . V

"On the Suwanee River," which
comes to the Vogt opera house next
Monday evening, Jan. 16, Is a new de
parture in the lineof southern dramas.
While it introduces 'Bome colored
people in the plantation scenes, it
does ' not in any way depend upon
them to attract attention to the dis
advantage of the story and tbe interest
of the audience. 'The scene in which
tne colored people are introduced is a
perfectly natural one, atfd in it are
introduced the songs, dances and pas
times of the plantation hands : When
the scene is finished the darkies are
no- longer in evidence. This Is as it
should be; this kind of talent is all
well enough in its place and when not
overdone is interesting and amusing.

It may some times be inconvenient
for advertisers to supply copy for
change of ads. in the forenoon, but it
is still more inconvenient for- the
printer to have the copy come . in late
in the afternoon, as it often delayB
the publication from one to one and a
half hours, consequently readers be
come Irritated and give the publisher
a scolding, and not too seldom with
draw their patronage, therefore it has
been decided to not change any ads.
unless copy Is handed in before noon.

BURTON'S BUSY FOUR MINUTES
What m Man Can Dream In a Cat Sap
i La ting; from 5i4S to 5i4.
I Burton had set his alarm clock for
5:30, as he had some writing to do, and
knew that he couldn't steal time for
that purpose at the office during the
day. When the alarm clanged he aweke,
sat up in bed, thought lazily for a mo
ment and utterly forgot his writing. It
was 5:42 for he locked at the unwink
ing face of the dial Avbeu he settled
back for an involuntary doze one of
those quick little caps that overpower
a -man in the short hours of the morn
ing. A few moments latebe was standing
in a small inclosure surrounded by log
walls. A brown horFe stamped beside
him and a woma.n bearing a marvelous
resemblance in face a.nd. voice to his
wife was trying to tell him something.
He shook his head, disengaged his arm
from her restraining hand and tight
ened the sadd r'rth upon the brown
horse. On the horse's bnek he sprung,
the walls operjed and he sped out, while
behind him came streaming a tumultu
ous rout of horse and foot soldiery in
blue uniforms, whom he bad really
f ailed to notice before, but who evident
ly belonged to the wa'led inclosure.
The air was pool, bracing, delicious
the skies bright blue. To right and left
rolling bills of considerable height were
erowried with underbrush end strag
gling trees, while deeper woods extend
ed to the background. He noticed that
the leaves were resplendent in red and
yellow, and he realized that October
was in all its glory.
Somehow the ride must have been
short. There was a whirl cf dust and
coaoh whizzed by not a stagecoach
o! the west, but cne cf those affairs with
broad tires and cushioned seats so much
in vague for tally -tho parties. He found
himself, horse and ell. b- the side of the
log wal" nirnin. ad Jhe coach passed in
side. The next instr-ntne noticed a puff
of white stlvclzp rp en the hi"side about
1,000 feet away. Thrr came other white
puffs, and the leaves flew in spots on
either, side cf him. He called his men
called in a. voice which seemed to give
no sound nnd there was no noise ac
companying the white pudngs up there i
among the underbrush. His men began .'
to slculk behind' trees and walls and
opened fire upon the places whence
the white clout's kept rolling.
A man in h!aclc Tan cut upon the hill
side, emerging from a clump of brush. I
There was a general firing and the man
sla.Tgrred. As he fell Burton noticed
that l.e had checked h's costume in the
moment cf the fall.cDd was now ar-.
rc-ed in a blue-gray uniform. He
picked himself Up and reeled among the
trees. There was more firing and Bur
ton awoke. '-
: Fully believing himself hours behind
his office time, he looked at his clock.
It registered 5:46. All the events of the
dream ' bad passed before his drowsy
mind in four minutes of actuality. Chi

They must be replaced by something
more substantial.
This will entail considerable expense
upon the property owners, but it can
not be avoided. A sewer system can
not be dispell Med with; it is an absolute
necessity from a sanitary standpoint
if no other, ai.d that, a new one must
bo put in cannot longer be cetiied.
We cannot afford to have sewers
caving in, causing cellars to overflow,
for the expense will in a sbo-r. tlae be
greater tliaa the construction of a
new system.
THE
OREGON OXSTER.
The Eastern Oyster Will Never Supplant
It ob This Coast.
.. Hon. H. B. Kincaid, ex-secretary of
state, is deeply interested In perpet'
uating to Oregon the superior native
oysters, and especially one particular
variety that grows at' Yaquina bay,
and which is believed by all who are
familiar with its rare flavor to be the
best oysters in the world. It is not
known to grow in any other waters,
and should be cared for. . Mr. Klncald
has been urging State Fish Commis
sioner McGuire to give this matter bis
close attention, and the latter seems
to be thoroughly agreed with him in its
importance. , Mr. McGuire writes Mr.
Ktfleaid as follows: -
""Referring to that part of tbe letter
in regard to the native Yaquina bay
oystery, which you say is much more
important than the propagation of
imported oysters which can always, be
obtained, while tbe better flavored
oyster can never be restored, when it
becomes extinct, I beg to say that I
entirely agree with you and moreover
I am of the opinion that it will be im
possible to establish tbe eastern oyster
in our waters , That .,1a to say, I do
not believe we will ever be able to
successfully propagate them here.
This fact seems to be established from
the experience of oysterinen in San
Francisco bay during the past 20 years
notwithstanding Prof. Wasbburn?s
statement to the contrary." 1
. The . fish commissioner ' expects to
submit a bill to the legislature looking
to the protection-of this valuable
bivalve, thanks to Secretary Kincaid.

THE TINIEST OF WATCHES.
Mont Miunte Timepiece Now In El
iHtcnee. .
The smallest watch in the world is
at present on exhibition in a show win
dow in Berlin.' It is the latest triumph
in the art of watchmaking the art that
has made such wonderful progress
within the last decade.
The liiliputian timepiece was made in
Geneva. Following are given some of
the tiny dimensions:
The diameter of the little watch is less
than half an inch. The exact measure
ment is lOi millimeters, or .4137 inch."
Its thickness is 3 millimeters, or .1182
inch, being but little more thau a tenth
of an inch. .
The length of the minute hand is
2 4-10 millimeters, or .09456 inch. That
of the hour hand is 1 3-10 millimeters,
I or .05122 inch.
The entire works of the tiny watch
comprise 95 individual .pieces, and its
exact weight is 14.3499 grains, or, ac-
I cording to the metric system, 93 centi
grammes less than a single gram! -After
having been wound up with the
diminutive key the watch will run for
2S hours. .The mainspring- when run
down has a circumference of .13396
inch. Its weight is 38 milligrammes, or
.5903 grain.
The weight of the four main wheels,
with their springs, is 42 milligrammes,
or .6468 grain. There are 13 cogs on
the little cylinder wheel, which has a
circumference of 2 millimeters, or .0788
inch, and weighs .75 milligramme, or
.01155 grain.'
The balance has a circumference of
3.57 millimeters, or .140658 iriSh. In
one hour it completes 18.152 revolutions,
traveling a distance of 9,843 feet 6
inches.
The most delicate tools and measuring-
instruments were made specially
for the construction of this liiliputian
watch. The preliminary work in the
making" of the timepiece was very ex
pensive, and the selling price of the
watch is comparatively low, being $1,
250. N.Y. Herald. '

A remedy for all the diseases which.

It builds up the weak places and fortifies
the system against the onslaughts of

A Mean Thief.
The Upited Brethern are construct
ing a neat nttie enurcn edifice in
Thompson's addition, the rreater
part of the work being volunteered,
persons in that part of the city giving
a few days' work each on the building.
When they quit work In the evening,
it has been their custom to leave their
carpenter tools in the building, deem
ing them safe from intruders, but an
event that occurred last night proved
their' confidence in the human race to
have been misplaced. Some one en
tered the building during the night
and carried off the tools, leaving tbe
men nothing to work with when they
returned to their labors in the morning.
A thief who would do such 'a thing is
pretty low down, and 'as one gentle
man put it, "would steal the Lord's
supper if given an opportunity." '

Tne trouble, which the Court street
sewer has caused the past week evid
ences the fact that It Is only a question
of a very short time when an entire
new sewer system must be put in,
ine old wooden sewers that were put
in at years ago have decayed so that
they no longer perform the service for
which t they were ; intended. That
breaks will be more frequent in the
future is certain, for as the wood gives
way the sewers will fill up and prevent
the water running through them.

, It Is Satisfactory.
The water commissioners are highly
pleased with the now water system put
in by , the Pacific Bridge Co. A test
that was made today of the pressure at
the engine house and it registered 102
pounds, whereas with the old system
the greatest pressure obtained was 87
pounds. Thus the increase of pressure
from the new system is 15 pounds.
This gives all the localities below tbe
bluff : an excellent fire protection, as
with 102 pounds pressure the depart
ment will be better able to battle with
fire, and the services of the engine will
be required only in extensive fires.
The new system has been quite ex
pensive, bat it has been money well
spent.
