Meeting At SUpanos.
A-meeting of the representative men
of that portion of the county was held at
the. town hall in Skipanon yeaterdpy
afternoon in relation to dyking about
2,000 acres of fine tide land there, thus vir
tually making a road bed for the Clatsop
thoroughfare when built. There were
present D. K. Warren, F. J. Taylor, S. D.

and others.
The meeting was organized by the
election of D. K. Warren as chairman,
and W. B. Adair, secretary, and was
mainly devoted to an interchange of
opinion concerning the feasibility of the
scheme. It was concluded advisable to
dyke'the whole stretch from Skipanon to
Lewis and Clarke's, the dyke crossing
Skipanon at the cut-off. Should this be
done the cost of the Clatsop road would
be lessened some $12,000, as that would

The New i'ork .Sun of tho 3d flnys: 'The
recent inspection of the Northorn Pacific
from St. Paul to Portland appears to
have developed a number of facts which
will hardly fascinate the stockholders
with the practical management of the
road. It seems to have partaken of the
nature of an opera bouffo. Fiftoen
suiuptuouB private coaches of what aro
described as a palatial character, were
discovered at different points of the road,
awaiting tho use of offioials for whom
they were built. The whole road is said
to be overloaded with the most extrava
gant rolling stock, and the machine shops
to have furnished the most amusing dis
closures. The inspection seems to have
b6en undertaken at the instance of th6
nw directory and Drexol, Morgan & Co.
Senator Dolph, from the committee on
public lands, has reported an amendment
to Ihu agricultural appropriation bill,
which, on his motion, was referred to the
committee on appropriations, for incor
poration in that measure when passed by
the house. The amendment proposed to
appropriate $ 10,000 each for Oregon and
Nevada, to be used in locating and sink
ing artesian wells in those states. These
wells are designed to test whether large
sections of country in eastern Oregon
and Nevada can be watered by artesian
wells. The matter was first suggested to
Senator Dolph by John Minto, who be
lieves a sybtem of wells would be n suc
cess. The amendment provides that no
part of -the money shall be used on pri
vate lands, belonging to individuals, but
only on government or public lands.
The Philadelphia Press New York
special of the 3d says: "For several
weeks a change in the management of
the Oregon and Transcontinental has
been in contemplation. A. syndicate of
New Yorkers, who about 1.000.000 shares
of tho stock, being aware that President
Endicott's position was distasteful to
him, approached him on the subject of a
change, and he was understood to agree
to resign when called upon. Brayton
Ives, a well known and resposible banker.
was chosen by tho Now York syndicate to
succeed, Endicott. Considerable stock
was purchased by the New Yoikers, who
were favored with inside information.
Endicott purchased a passage for him
self and family to Europe, and every
thing .was about to be consummated
when Endicott announced that he would
not resign for some weeks at least. This
is regarded bv the New Yorkers as equiv
alent to a permanent change of mind,
and there is some quiet but emphatic
criticism of Endicott's action. The lat
ter was 'not in to.wu to-day, The New
Yorkers are indignant at the removal of
the office of the company to Boston, and
it is believed there will bo a contest for
control cf the company in June."
He Xerer Wore BpoU,
Two prominent capitalists recently

possessed by carefully attending other
people's business and wearing his clothes
out.
"Well," replied the other, "I made
my money by attending to my own busi
ness and saving what I earned. Why,
sir, I never wore a pair of boots until
after I began to go into ladies company
and out with the boys."
"Why, how was that? Did you go
barefooted here in the city until you
were eighteen years old?"
"Oh, no. l always wore snoea Deiore

According to Dan De Quille, of the

can see no gold, tbe miner puts a pistol
to his noso and again asks him whether
ho can Reo gold, and the tenderfoot swears
the rock is alive with gold. In the spring
it will be necessary to sell some of the
claims in the same way.
Sam Stott, while fishing in tho Sandv a

which ran out into the swift current and
broke loose. When asked why he did not
give him more lino; Mr. Stott said; "I
gave him all I had, and then he broke
it." Several Chinook salmon, and many
other species were taken with a hook at
Oregon City last season, and it seems,
says the Oregonian, that notwithstanding
all reports to tha contrary, Balmon will
take the fly in the streams of Oregon.
Fishermen will have to heel themselves
with an eighteen-foot rod, salmon reel,
and 103 yards of line, and then there will
be some aport in fishing for them.

Oakland, California. Sbo was an artist,
and came up here with Mrs. -Post upon
her return from the East. When Miss
Ewiug purchased the strychnine she was
asked by the druggist what she desired
to do with it, to whioh she replied that
Mrs. Blaine, Mrs. Stetson's house-keeper,
wanted it to kill rats with. The druggist
states that she was perfectly collected
and cool, and did not betray by voice or
look the faintest suspicion of her des
perate intention. When it was discov
ered that she had taken the poison every
effort to restore her was made but with
out effect, and she died in terrible agony.

Tom Cook, the Terror.
About twelve years ago one of tho best
known newspaper reporters in New York
was Tom Cook. Many of the men who
ground outjthe news for the dailies in
Tom Cook's days have passed uway, some
died, others succeeded in getting out of
the most exacting and most wearing of
pursuits, and became rich and happy,
but none were hanged. Tom is some
where in California, and those who re
member him will perhaps wonder how he
passed so quietly from his old stamping
ground, and was soon forgotten.
Tom was a terror to Bpace writers
wherever he was employed. He was a re
porter on the Sun when that newspaper
nad a phenomenal staff of newsgatherers.
He was tall,angular,ind awkward. a3 dark
as an Indian, and with hair, moustache
and eyes of the blackest kind. There
was nothing slow about Tom. Ho was
always on the rash, whether talking
walking, or writing, sua .rns t.ie mot
tireless writer of his time. ..tu,ntTr
assigned to work up u mystery or i uir
dor case, or a politicial or sooial event,
his fellow reporters threw aside their
pons and started out. It would have
been a waste of time for them to write
anything while Tom was at work upon
his assignment. It was always safe to
wager money that he would fill the first,
page and a portion of the third of a four
page newspaper, such as tho Sun. It was
fortunate, however, for the rest of the
reporters in the same office that Tom
was not favored with an assignment
every day. When diagrams were in order
Tom was never behind time, and he be
came not only a terror to the space men,
but a terror to the compositors as well.
The murder that might havo been unin
viting and commonplaco to an ordinary
reporter became in Tom's eyes the most
fiendish and mysterious of all crimes.
Columns were given up to his story, and
the ordinary reporter gasped for breath.
Tom at last tired of one thing, and
that was the unceasing wars made upon
him by jealous competitors in tho race
for bread in the Sun office, and he packed
up his family and household effects and
started for San Francisco. Charley De
Young, afterward murdered by young
Kalloch, was in 1875 in the height of his
power as editor of the Chronicle and had
urged Tom to accept lhepo3itirnof man
aging editor of his paper. He asked
Tom to stop over in St. Louis for a day
or twoj gather some facts concerning tbe
early life of Pickering, one of the pro
prietors of the Call, and write a few un
savory paragraphs for the Chronicle.
Tom, of course, stopped over in St. Louis
as directed, gathered some facts, and
sent to De Young eighteen columns of
matter in relation to Pickering's career
in, that city. Do Young's amazement
upon tho receipt of this package of man
script was never fitly described. He sent
telegrams to Tom to "let up" and pro
ceed at once to San Francisco.
When Tom landod there ho soon dis
covered that Do Young had been unsuc
cessful in his efforts to "bounce" his old
time managing editor, Timmins, and that
the said Timmins bod determined to
hold the fort against Tom. The New
York terror was sadly disappointed. His
arrival in San Francisco hud been dis
cussed by all the reporter, and they de
nounced in vigorous langiigoin public
places De Young's latest "importation"
from New York. They were of the opin
ion that San Francisco could furnish her
own managing editors without looking
to New York for them. Tom visited the
office daily in the hope of securing the
chair occupied by Timmins. He furn
ished no matter for the paper for three
weeks after his arrival. Ho had been de
ceived and insulted, and was in a rage
over the situation of affairs'. None of
the San Francisco reporters know of his
reputation in Now York us the writer of
eighteen-columu reports. His ability to
do good work was'never discovered until
he took his first assignment as a reporter.
The city editor in a careless way gave
Tom a live-line paragraph relating to
some tide-lands, aud nuked him to look
it up. On tho following day the entire
first page of the paper was covered with
Tom s report, with diagrams and flaming
head-lines. Editors and reporters looked
at each other in alann, und all San Fran
cisco arose as one man, and shrieked,
" For Heaven's sake what has hap
pened t"
Tom was the lion of the hour. He had
unearthed one of the biggest frauds ever
perpetrated m ban rrancisco, and tbe
guilty ones thirsted for Tom's gore. A
