There is a feeling in the minds of some that tho telephone service in this city is somewhat costly. The fact that some subscribers have stopped makes it of less valuo, on tho principle that the fewer that tako it the less advantage it is to have it in one's office or place of business. A tariff more in accordance with tho re quirements of the times is injorder, if the company wants to do business.

A few hundred years, says a writer in tho Portland Transcript, makes a future beyond all comprehension; wo have no idea of tho possibilities, except by con trasting with past and present." A news paper of one hundred years ago is a curi osity of more value than thousands-of-years-old pottery and bric-a-brac. "Why? Because it gives a true history of the time when published, relates to facts that would be otherwise unknown, touches facts beneath the historian's notice, yet of real interest to the people of to-day. Take one jear's file of any metropol itan daily of 18&4 one hundred years from now, and you will have a history of tho world beyond comparison. No his torian would dare compete with tho sin gle newspaper bought anywhere for 2 or 3 cents, worth to future generations sums not to be covered by meney: in fact, be yond value. All this has come about in a hundred years. Now add a few hun dred years to tho progress of tho nows paper. and what will be the ontcome? 1. Every town will have a paper of its own. 2. Type will bo set by machinery, with the rapidity of electricity. 3. Every paper will contain a directory of every soul in town, giving full name, age, description, weight, business; direct ly below these facts a spaco will be left, and daily the varied movements of in dividuals will be given; no matter how simple tho fact, it will appear, and mako a diary every day, such as many privately keep at present. 4. A list of births, deaths and mar riages will appear, including tho whole world. The paper will bo bulky, but not disa greeably so; a table of contents will readily put the reader in the right track, and book-form of about the size of the Transcript will make an easily handled Eaper which will bo sufficiently stiff to old easily. No event will be too small to appear; all business, pleasuro, sorrow will be depicted in concise and appropri ate form. As a referenco, tho paper of the futuro will be equal to an encyclo paedia of to-day. Oregon Ahead. Tho New Orleans Times-Democrat of January 24tb, reports that the claim made by the Oregouians that their state pro duces the best fruit grown upon the Pa cific slope, has been substantiated by he awards recently made in Horticul tural hall. The entries for premiums were small, owing to the fact that a great portion of the fruit intended for compe tition was frost-bitten during transit to this city, and it was only by depriving the display in tho government building that tho commission were enabled to make an entry for the best collection of five varieties grown in and adapted to ibe coast climate, and for best collection of five varieties crown in and adapted to the mountain climate. In both instances Oregon captured tho medal and premi um. Out of practically seven pinto en tries tho state took five premiums, and still glories in tho honor of being the champion of the Pacifiic coast for fruit. IVoticc.

Mr. J. N. Griflin. in charge of tho gov ernment meteorological station in this city, states that tho extension of the ser vice on this coast has resulted in tho "es tablishment of an additional office at As toria, the result of its daily observations being of prime importance to tho com merce of the Columbia. "Wherever throughout the United States "Old Prob abilities" has established a branch office the resultant benefit to commerce and agriculture has amply justified tho outlay. On the coast lino of the Union com merce demands an efficient signal service; it realizes tho value of a weather bureau, and any measure increasing the efficiency of that department of public service is of benefit. The building a telegraph lino from Astoria to Cape Hancock and the establishing there a signal station was of great benefit to the commerce of the northwest coast, and rue further estab lishing of an office in this city where daily weather reports will be sont from and received will be of proportionate value. It has only been by the most persistent and long continued effort that an appro priation has been obtained for tho estab lishment of this branch of the signal service on this coast. The offices already established are San Francisco, Astoria anil Cape Hancock, and the service will, no doubt, bo extended ns rapidly as circum stances will permit. An ingenious code of signals is uovised for coast stations, which afford means of instant communication between vessels and the shore. By day arrangement of ) llags lettered from IS to w, givo such sig nals as "Want immediate assistance;"' We are coming;" "Do not attempt to land;" Damaged rudder, cannot steer;" "Engine disabled;' "Your arc standing into danger;" "Heavy weather coming; look f harp;" "Bar impassable;' "Cast off;" "Make fast:" "Slack away:" "Hold on till high water:' "I am on fire:" "I am sinking:' "Want assistance:" "Want a steam tug;' etc., etc Cautionary signals are also to be dis played: A square red flag with a squaro black center by day, and a red light by nieht eives warning of an approaching storm. A cautionary off shore signal is a whito flag with a black square in the center shown abovo a red flag with a black square in the confer by day, or a white light shown abovo a red light by night, is "cautionary with winds expected to blow from a northern or western di rection, or off shore, at or near the place at which the signal may be." "When tho present condition of affairs in tho vicinity of the mouth of the river is contrasted with that of a few years ago it will be seen how much progress has been made here in this important branch of tho public service. "ttXAMETKY." "What! yon fit my dress by measur ing my nock?' said an Atlanta lady of fashion to her dressmaker. "That is all I want," was tho reply. "Dear me," said the lady, "how strange.' "Gynametry is the name of tho sci ence," said the lady with tho measure "The system of measuring the female figure was discovered by me after years of patient study and hard work. Pro fessors Bartlct and Battle gave the new science tho name of 'gynametry,' which is mado up of the Greek words that mean female measurement. The rules, how ever, which apply to tho female figure apply with equal and absolute force to the male figure.' "Do you mean to say you can make my dress fit by simply measuring my neck?"' "I do, if I see you." "And if you don't seo me?" "Then I must know the measure of your neck, the measure of your waist, and which toe is longest. "Dear me! Vny do vou want to know which toe is longest?" "Jf your big too is longest your shoul ders aro squaro. If your second too is longest your shoulders aro drooped, and tho waist is correspondingly shorter. Drooping shoulders are those that slop?, from the neck outward, not stooped shoulders.' "Hes vour svstem anv connection with the theory of twice around the wrist is once around the neck, etc' "Not at all. This is fallacy. It will not work out. It is impossible to measuro the human form with a tapo line. You simply cannot measure the back to save your life. But my system does it, and I can make a lady's dress and never see her, by simply having the measurements that I have named." Atlanta Constitution. THK NEW CASARIANC1.

Kbartonra Captnred; Cordon Mining: Stewart Ai sa&sinated. Col. Loxdon, Feb. i. Tho war office has issued the follewing: "Telegrams from "Wolsely announco that the fall of Khar toum took place on January 2G. Ho says that Colonel "Wilson arrived at Khar toum January 23, and was greatly sur prised to find that the enemy wero in possession of that place. He immediate ly started on his return down the river, and proceeded under a heavy fire from the rebels. When some miles below tho Shublaka cataract Colonel Wilson's steamers were wrecked, but he and his whole party managed to reach an island safely, where they are secure. A steamer has gone to bring them back to the Brit ish camp near.Metemneh. Wolsely says he has no information regarding the fate of Gordon, and does not know whether he is d&ad or alive." There is no longer any doubt that El Mahdi holds possession of Khartoum. Tho excitement in London and every where throughout the British isles, where the news is known is rising to fever heat. Most people take a gloomy view of the position of tho British troops in the Sou dan. The jubilant gladness which has characterized England in regard to Egypt ever since the welcome news of Stewart's successful arrival in the neigh borhood of 31etemneh was recived 13 now changed to dread. The war office is besieged with army officers, tendering their services for ac tive duty in the Soudan. The capture of Khartoum has created grave fears, especially in army circles, for the safety of General Stewart and his army. A number of military officers of repute, even expressed tho opinion that unless reinforcements are hurried forward to Korti the fall of Khartoum may lead to a disaster to the forces under Wolsely and General Earle. A cabinet council has been summoned to meet at once. Gladstone is fearfully disturbed by tho news, and some peoplo say he will soon resign. The news of tho downfall of Khartoum has created grave apprehen sion in regard to the whole Egyptian problem among members of the cabinet. Gladstone and Earl Granville started for London as soon as tho news reached them. A cabinet council will be held this evening. The first news of the fall of Khartoum received by Gen. Wolscley was brought by a messenger, who left the island where Colonel Wilson is stranded, and came on foot to Gubat, news of Khartoum's fall not being then known in the desert. In telligence of tho disaster, however, has since spread far and wide, and some tribes that had hitherto professed friend ship for England have declared for El Mahdi. Natives report that El Mahdi has 60,000 men in the vicinity of Khartoum, and ho introduced a number of his emissaries into tho city. These emissaries mingled freely with native troops under Gordon, and by bribes, threats and working on their religions feelings, induced them to deserted to the robels, leaving Gordon only 2,500 faithful soldiers. With this small force he attempted to hold the city against El Mahdi'a great army, but after severe fighting, in which large numbers of rebels were killed, he was compelled to surrender. When Sir Charles Wilson reached Khartoum he found that El Mahdi's forces occupied both the town and tho citadel. He tried to land and ascertain the fate of Gordon, but this step ho found impossi ble. Tho enemy s guns wero turned upon him in full force, and he was therefore compelled to turn his back upon the fallen city and return to Gulpat without finding oat whether Gordon is dead or alive. The stoker of Colonel Stewart's steam er reports ho left Khartoum on the steamer Abbass with Stewart, two Eu ropean consuls, Hassam Bey, twelve Greeks and several natives. Two other steamers accompanied them to Berber, which place they shelled. Four Nuggars accompanied the expedition to Abu Hamed, when the Abbass proceeded alone. She struck a rock two feet under water when near the island "VTadygarae. The whole party then landed on the is land. Stewart subsequently returned to the steamer, spiked the guns threw the ammunition overboard and returned to the island. The eutiro part3 were un armed with the exception of Stewart who had a small revolver. The natives assembled on the right hand of the river, sheuting: "Givo us peace and grace." Suleiman Pasha sent a messenger invit ing Stewart to his house. The whole party then crossed tho river. Suleiman then took Stewart, the consuls and Has sam Bsy to the.housc of a blind man named Emdor Fnkin to drink coffee. While insido the house Suleiman camo out and motioned to the natives, who formed two parties- armed with swords and spears. Une par ty entered the house and killed Stewart and the two consuls. Hassem Bey es caped wounded and was afterward taken to Berber. Tho second party attacked the rest of Stewart's people, among whom was the narrator of this story, who swam to on island and hid until dark. He was afterward taken a prisoner to Berti. Stewart had landed stores and provisions from the steamer, which had mado four trips to the island. Many of his party were drowned in trying to escape. Tho bodies of Stewart and others wero thrown into tho river. Suleiman's followers di vided all the money they could find and sent other spoils in boats to Berbor. Tho British vesssels, Saraca and Win. D. Seed and the American ship C. S. Hid bcrt, lying at Astoria ready for sea, but all in the custody of the U. S.

While even one is denouncing the Irish dynamiters, it is well not to forget , that England is reaping in their acts, from a sowing she made centuries ago and has carefully cultivated ever since. Orcyonian. While raanv state legislatures are ' wrestling with the freight problem, it must not be forcotten that the railroads . have made mauv concessions. The farmers too frequently overlook this fact and assail the railroads with ayindictive ness that is not reasonable. Aria. The government ought not to part with its land, except to actual homestead set tlers. If a man wants a home, give it to him free of all costs at the end of his five years residence. But sell no more lands, and thus shut thejjdoor against all frauds and further land monopoly. 17 dcllc. Tho members from the interior seem to have a pretty clear idea of tho import ance of heeding the just claim of the country to representation in the senate. They also understand clearly that as a measure of party success the election of a man from the "interior would be greatly advantageous to the Republicans. Statesman. If tho grangers really want aii anti monopoly man for senator, and one they can rely on, why don't they hunt up n man who has had the courage and back bone to stand up for the cause when U was unpopular to do so? Any man will join a causo after it has been made pop ular. That is tho trick of the demagoguo every time. Sunday Welcome. The stato had in its swamp and other lands a valuable property. But that property has mostly been squandered. When Governor Grover "organized tho offices' he and his associates devised a scheme to disposo of the swamp lands of the state. It has been carried out, and so successfully that tho state neither has tho lands nor anything to show for them, except a lot of warrants, amounting to a very large sum, drawn on the swamp land fund, but which there is no money to pay. Oreyonian. Jno. F. Caples is a slick-tougued, oily stump speaker, and can do more to make his Sunday school laugh, or "bring down the house'' nt a ward meeting than any man in Oregon. He is also a jolly, whole souled, good fellow, that has as little meanness in the way of greed, selfishness or avarice, as any man that Portland over elected to public office. According to Cronin's account, when St. Peter shut the gates of Hciven against Joe Dolph, because ho was a lawyer, Caples went in without a question "because he was not lawyer enough to hurt anything." The heart and sympathies of Caples are un doubtedly with and for the common peo ple, the toning m&ssus, anu in our osu niation this should cover a multitude of sins. Vidflte. Among the candidates now before tho legislature lor senator is a gentleman who for five years was a a judga of tho circuit court in Iowa and also a resi dential elector in that slate who was for five years chief justice of Oregon mem ber of the constitutional convention to form the constitution of this stale sen ator in congress for six years member of the joint high commission to settle the Alabama claims, and for nearly four vears attorney general of the United States?

He is well and favorably known among the public men of the 'country, and his fidelity and service to the Repub lican party are unquestionable.
