In the isans of Wednesday, tbe Port land Oregonian prints tbe following, editorially, concerning Mr. T. E. Fell's statement reoeutly printed in the East Oregonian : "In an interview published in tbe Pendleton East Oregonian a few days ago, Mr. Tberoo E. Fell, manager of the Pendleton woolen mills, said that while tbe people have more money than tbey have bad for years, tbey want obeap goods. As a oonseqnenoe, the shoddy mills of the east are kept busy, while the woolen mills whiob mannfaatare goods of a higher class are losing. The fact that tbe consumption of wool during the year ended June 30 last equaled the con somptin of tbe fiscal year 1891-92, the most prosperous year tbe woolen busi ness ever bad, does not sustain Mr. Fell's assertion that tbe eastern woolen mills are dosing. It would indioate that tbe mills are running as usual, but ware- bousing their produot instead of putting it on tbe market. During the bard times, wbiob followed demooratio tinker ing with tbe revenue laws, people fell ioto tbe habit of baying cheap clothing imported from Europe and made from imported oheap materials. They have not yet given np the babit, though tbey are better able than ever to buy Amer loan woolen goods. Manufacturers will have to bide tbeir time until tbe im ported stocks are exhausted. "Large stocks oo hand and a large olip this year contribute principally to the present dullness in the wool market. A writer in the New York Tribune says tbe most conservative estimate of wool sup plies during the five years ended June30, 1893, is: Domestio production, 1,482, 535,534 pounds; foreign, 951,381,479 pounds; in warehouse July 1, 1898, 60, 439,538 pounds; total, 2,494,366.371 pounds. Consumption during the five years was 1,952,000,000 pounds. This would Imply stocks of old wool amount ing to 542,356,000 pounds on band July 1.189H, besides this year's olip, which the Boston Oommeroial Bulletin estimates at 264,733,056 pounds. With stocks of old wool and new clips, aggregating 807,089,056 pounds, in sight, enough to last one and one-half years, it is not to be wondered at that there is a difference of 20 per oent between the asking price of the Oregon and Washington grower and the eastern buyer. " One other fact to be considered will explain in part why th9 people are buy ing shoddy goods in preference to wool ens. Tbe four fiscal years from July 1, 1893, to June 30, 1897, were yeaisof heavy importations of obeap foreign woolen goods, whiob took tbe place of American goods in tbe restnoted con sumption oaosed by bard times. It is not to b supposed that these goods, wbiob cost $145,410,861 abroad, oould flod a mrtrket without lessening tbe use of domestic products to tbe extent of at least tour pounds of wool to every dol lar's worth of goods. Iu addition, there "ere Imported during the same four years, nulls, yarns, waste, rags, mnogo, Hooks aud shoddy to the amount of 88,- 2')9,423 pounds1. No one acquainted with the uses to wbiob snob imported products are pot will question that tbey take tbe place in manufacture of considerably more than one pound of American un washed wool for every pound of suob partly mmiufactured imports. No one oan take this into ucooout without diminishing still farther his reakoniog of the quality of Ainerloao wool con sumed, and correspondingly iuoreasing his estimate of the queutiiy remaining fur consumption." MU. fSl.L SI'IAKS AO All. The editorial io question was shows to Mr. Fell Thursday, and ha was requested to make another statement to eiplans- tion of what has evidently bee a a mis taken oonception oo the part of the Portland Oregoolao writer. He said: "Tbe editor of the Portland Oregon Ian, ootumaotiog upon my statement that wooleo mills ware olosiog, while those largelv asing shod ly were operat es, seye; Tlie fact that lbs ooosump tioo of won! for the year ended Jaos 30 equalled the consumption of til and the re oat prosperous years tbs wooleo business over bad, dues Dot sustain Mr. Fell's aeeertioo. It would Indicate that mills are raooing as usual, bat wars bousing their produot, Instead of polling it on tbe market.' "That is erectly the reason glvea by prudent managers for olosiog tbelr mills oow, and eancelliog order given for wool baying, leee thee 00 days ago. "It was reasonable to see note that with tb prosperous eoodiUoo of the country, demand would Increase for boiler gra les of woolens. Last winter, many mill re oa doable tiro, sod, aofortneetely, did warehouse some goods, as tho Oretfoniao soggsls, Ao sdvsnolag market we aotietpaled. and ardor were pfNred toeomeeilentf.tr o at comparatively blgb prioe.

Both Speed and Comfort. Tbe business man oompelled to travel at this season of tbe year, as well as the tourist traveling for pleasure, demands oomfort as well as rapid transit. The Rio Grande Western and its connections furnish both. From tbe PsoiSo North west, passengers are landed in Chicago in three days and a half, and in New York in less than five day. Further more, tbe passenger is given his choice of three routes through Colorado, and four east thereof. Tickets are sold via Sioux City, Omaha; Kansas City, St. Louis or Chioago. From the time tbe passenger leaves Salt Lake City until he reaches Denver there is one everohang panorama of the beauties of nature, whether the Rockies ars orossed via tbe Tennessee, Hagerman or Marshall passes. Tboee who desire it, are given, without extra cost, a day's stopover in Salt Lake City, affording an opportunity of seeing tbe beauties of tbe Mormon capital, and also ensuring a daylight ride through Colorado, justly termed, because of its soenery, "The Switzerland of America". Via tbe Rio Grande Western rates are always tbe lowest and accommodations tbe best. Through tourist and chair oars, as well as standard Pullmans, upon all trains.

FIRE-ALARM BOXES. The) Heehanlam That Summons Help In Case of Fire, An article in St. Nioholas, in speak ing' of New York fire-alarm boxea, says: This box forms part of a lamp post, the poet, being1 so constructed tliht the box is inserted in the middle. The box is painted a bright red and the lamp at niffht shows a rod light, thus making It eaily discernible either by day or nig'ht. Hie wires from the box are con veyed down through the center of the pot to conduits buried in the etreet and thence on to fire headquarters. White letters on a ml pone of glnew in the lamp over the box (rive direc tions how, to send an alarm. The same direction In mlsed letters are found on the face of tihe box. If we turn the lorge brans handle on tihe ouaide as far as it will go, a lotul gong will ring inaide. This is not the alarm, but sins ply a warning bell to notify the police man on the beat that the box is be ing opennl and to prevent the sending In of malus'ous or false alarm of fire, an ofrenan that is puniahable in New fork state by a fine of 1100 and one year's imprisonment. Turning this handle as far as it will go opens the outer door or.d we And inside another door, with a Iot at the left hand side, and at the top of this slot a fcook projecting. By pulling down thia hook once and re letting it we seta work certain clock work median iwn inside, and this sends In the alarm. When tho first officer arriving at a Are discovers that it la not of enosigh Importance to warrant hia sending for reinforcement he open this inner door with a key and sends in a second, third, fourth, fiftfh or sixth alarm, as the case may be, or a call for any wp rial appanittin that he may need. The lnMrtr of boxea can also carry on a conversation in the Morse alphabet with the operator at headquarter oa Utia key and sou ruler. SILVER STREET.

Probably it is known only to a small number now living in Oregon that in early times Oregon made her own money. The first efforts to create a currency under the provisional govern ment of the territory fifty years ago gave results that many now would think strange and amusing. In 1845 a law was passed to regulate the cur rency which made gold, silver, treasury warrants, approved orders on solvent merchants, and wheat delivered at places where the people were accus tomed to receive wheat legal tender for taxes and satisfaction of judg ments. An act was also passed by the "legislative committee" declaring that in cases "where no special contract had been made between the parties avail able orders, wheat, hides, tallow, beef, pork, butter, lard, peas, lumber, or other articles of export of this terri tory," should be "lawful tender at their current value." This mint was to coin tn and five dollar gold pieces. Thomas Powell, a blacksmith, did the forge work, Wil liam II. Rector the lathe work and Hamilton Campbell the engraving on dies. A full description of the con struction and organization of this mint, with fac-sirnile illustrations of this product, may be seen near the end of the first volume of J. Henry Brown's "Political History of Oregon." It is a curious illustration of the easy methods of doing business in those times that no record was kept of the amounts coined or number of pieces, but it is supposed that the total coinage of this mint was about sixty thousand dollars, pretty equally divided in amount be tween the tens and fives. The mint seems to have shut down at last be cause the man in charge found it "didn't pay." The dies were long supposed lost, but one day they were found among the rubbish of an old Bhed at Oregon City by D. P. Thompson and sent to the oflice of the secretary of state at Salem where they are pre served as curious relics. Only a few pieces of the gold coined at this mint are known to have been preserved. Most of them were soon melted up, for they were without alloy, and contained more gold than the coins of standard value. Tho product of this mint was known as "beaver money," from tho principal figure on the coins, which was a buaver mounted on a log. But it Tas a long time after the disappearance cf this money from circulation until coin of the United States came much into uso here. Down to 1800, or even later, most of the money in use in Ore gon and Washington was coin of pri vate mintage made in San Francisco. Rplders as Pets. Spiders are not generally popular creatures with either sex. Yet a Indy writer afilrms that they can be made the "dearest little pets in the world." She tells how she collected a common gar den spider and kept the sweet lady under a glaas tumbler for three weeks. She watched her "building her house of snowy silk" and raising a fnmily, and, says the writer, "she aoon learned to take flies from my hntid and drink water from a leaf which I gave her fresh every day." There are, Indeed, accord ing to this lady, few things so agreeable ns a spider, whether regarded as an architect, a thing of beauty, a slayer of pests or a hotmehold pet. A Delicate Compliment. ' - Xq more elegant compliment was ever paid to a preacher than that of King Louia XIV. of France to Jean Ilatist VaHillon, blfthop of Clermont. Said he: "I have heard ninny great preachers, nd tbe effect they produced on me was that I felt thoroughly aatiafled with them, Kvery time I heard you, I have been dissatisfied with myself." N. Y.

Couriituii'jn. To Make War on Locusts. Locusts have recently beeoine n de structive plague in the Argentine lie- public, and the bankers and business men of Buenos Ayres have determined to make war upon them, and have raised a large sum of money for that purpose. Their first practical step was to send to the United States for an expert en tomologint to look over the field and plan the campaign. Trof. Bruner, of the University of Nebraska, was chosen to organize the army of science which is to enrry on the wnr, and he has just sniled for Buenos Ayres preparatory to going to the front. This is a kind of war for which arbitration will probably never be suggested as a substitute. Youth's Companion. j4 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. TRAD MARKS, COPVRICMTS so.
