Keelt, the motor man, seems
to have really discovered a perpet
ual motion engine. The engine
he has been at work on is always
going to go very soon !
Says the Philadelphia Times:
The time has come -when the
American people should exercise
the right to discriminate in regard
to those who seek homes on Amer
ican soil. "We still have room for
industrious, law-abiding, liberty
loving, self-sustaining foreigners.
"We have none for paupers, crimi
nals, revolutionists and anarchists.
And all true lovers of the republic
and institutions concur.
The Apaches of Arizona, now
on a rampage, are among the most
savage and cruel Indians on the
continent. They are by nature
mean, and treachery is marked in
their faces. Those who have looked
upon them in their native wilds
know this. They prejudice the
interests of all peaceable Indians
in the west, and have always given
trouble. They should now be per
manently settled; they never will
become civilized or peaceable.
In 1884 the plurality of Mr.
Cleveland in New York was 1,047
in a vote of 1,171,312. The whole
Butler vote in that state was 17,
002, and the prohibition vote was
25,001. Last year, when there was
no especial interest in the election,
the prohibition vote was 30,414.
At the same election the labor
vote for mayor of New York was
about 68,000. It is such figures
as these that make it so hard for
the politicians to figure how the
Empire state will go in the presi
dential election of '88.
of a large and desirable industry.
This increase will amount to about
$150,000 on each year's clip. The
coast country is full of sharp
business men. They will scarcely
fail to see and seize the oppor
tunity. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars has not to bo
multiplied many times to become
large enough to erect mills of ca
pacity sufficient to work up the
entire wool product of tho country
west of the Rockies.
STATE AND TERRITORIAL NEWS.
An exchange says that Arlington is the
largest wool-producing section in the
United States.
About 76,000 sheep are being driven
from varioaa points in Oregon to Ne
braska this year.
Soundings on the bar last week showed
twenty-two feet of water at about half
tide, says the Coast Mail.
A militia company has been organized
at Corvallis with A. W. Smith as Cap
tain, Jos. H. Wilsn, 1st Lieut., A. W.
Jabez Hall, an aged and repu
table painter, living near Mariana,
Ark., advertised for a wife, and
the answers were so numerous that
he was at a loss how to choose.
Hig gigantio intellect came to his
rescue, however. He gave each
applicant a number, and writing
the number on separate cards, put
them in a box and shook them up
well. Then he blindfolded his
liitle grandchild, and had her draw
& card from the box. He is now
corresponding with the lady to
whom the card had been allotted,
and it is probable that a wedding
will result.
Jonx P. Ritteb, the assistant
manager of the New York clearing
house, has probably seen and han
dled more money than any other
man in the world. He has been
more than twenty-two years in the
institution. All the money re
ceived and paid out in balances
passes through his hands. The
daily balances run from $5,000,000
to $7,000,000, and in one instance
as high as $15,000,000. Mr. Ritter
has handled these vast sums day
after day for years without mak
ing an error of a penny. A rough
estimate of the total amount that
has passed through his hands at
the clearing would be between
$30,000,000,000 and $31,000,000,
000. This amount has not been
handled in the form of notes, bonds
or other negotiable securities, but
in actual cash. The largest legal
tender issued by the government
is for $10,000. These bills are
plentiful enough in clearing
houses, where they greatly facili
tate business, making it quite easy
to handle the enormous sums nec
essary from bank to bank each
day.
Ml
Califobkia has 9,069,698 sheep;
Oregon, 2,593,029; Washington,
555,439, and Nevada, 674,486
7,892,652 in all, over one-sixth of
the sheep in the entire country.
The wools from these sections
have hertofore been sent to the
eastern markets at 65 cents per
100 pounds freight. Under the
action of the inter-statc commerce
law the freight has been raised to
13.70 per 100 pounds. This is
equivalent to a tax of 3 1-20 cents
par pound of Pacific wools. This
is no no light thrust at the vitals
Rose, 2d Lieut.
Ashland has a canned cook venison es
tablishment, which did a profitable busi
ness last year, and will continue opera
tions this season.
The line of the Oregon Pacific railroad
is located forty-five miles east of Albany.
Surreys will continue this season to the
Malheur country, Eastern Oregon.
A company has been formed to start a
salmon cannery at Yaquina Bay. John
Priest and Allan Parker, of Newport,
and McCracken, of Portland, constitute
the firm.
The Malheur and Harney lakes were
formerly separated by a large sand reef,
but it is now said that, owing to a break
made in the reef, they are united and
snoula bo denominated as one lane,
Lo3ses by fire on the Pacifio ooast dur
ing the month of May, says the Pacifio
underwriter, were $239,129, divided as
follews: California, $218,800; Oregon,
$2,362; 'Washington, G,320; Montana,
$11,637.
Elvin Miller killed a white deer on
Brushy Ball, says a Curry county paper.
The hoofs are also white, Mr. Miller has
refused an offer of $10 for the skin.
These skins are very rare and pass among
the Indians for big money.
"Walter Keyes has leased seventy-five
feet water f rontago of his place at Muk
ilteo. says the Seattle Times, with wharf
and water privileges, to "W. T. Coleman,
of Astoria, for the purpose of erecting a
cannery. The maohinery and apparatus
will be moved immediately, so as to be
ready for this season's catch.
Joy killed Mrs. Margaret Powell, of
Samaria, Idaho. She was tbe widow of a
soldier, and received notice that a pen
sion of S12 per month, including $5,415
of baok pay, would be sent her on her
forwarding the proper vouchers. The
news so overcame her ihat she dropped
dead as she was preparing for churoh.
Nelson Bennett, the Cascade division
contractor, says that the big bore in the
Cascade mountains is new in 2,4G2 feet
at the east end, and 2.536K at the west
end. There remains to be bored 4,850
feet. Progress is being made at the rate
of fifteen feet per day. It will take about
a year to complete it.
D. S. K. Buick, president of the state
agricultural society, writes the state
board of immigration at Portland, that
he has engaged a gentleman to travel
throughout the state and make a collec
tion of grains and grasses for exhibition
at the forthcoming state fair. As a foot
.note he says: "A good many people are
coming in nere now. uauxormans are
the best. Th6y take hold promptly and
don't wait to see if it will snow or rain
the coming winter."
Yesterdav morniae. for the first time
in the history of Clifton, Oregon, says
tne urcgonian oi tne a en, religions ser
vices were held there, ur. x. jl. Elliot,
pastor of the Unitarian church, was visit
ing Messrs. J. W. & V. Cook, and they
hastily built a "meetin' nonse. it was
in the cannery warehouse. A lot of
empty salmon boxes were used to make
four walls, openings being left for a door
in the rear and windows at the side. In
the front the boxes wer piled so as to
form a semi-circle, and directly in front
of this tho pulpit was erected, also of
salmon boxes. Boxes likewise served as
seats. The congregation numbered sixty-
three men. women and children, who
listened with perfect attention to the
scholarly, earnest, thoroughly Christian
entieman, and ne appeared as mucn at
tome in his novel surroundings as in his
own comiortaoie cnurcn in roruanu.
The religious service was complete with
one excention. .No collection was made.
Mr. Elliot, who is accompanied by his
son "William, will leave Clifton in a few
days for Clatsop beach.
A PLUCKY WOMAN.
Deputy constable George H. Ward
returned last eveuiug from Astoria,
bringing Mrs. Ella Turner and her
three children. Mrs." Turner was ar
rested on a warrant charging her
with assault and battery, sworn to
by Mrs. Colvin, who lives on Eleventh
street in this citv.
Mrs. Turner, who has ai vays borne :
the reputation both in t-Veity and
in Astoria of an honest, hnrd-working
woman trying to bring up her
children to be good citizens, was
basely deserted by her husband,
Frank Turner, captain of the steam
boat Wanderer, about two years ago.
For some reason he took from her the
youngest child and has ever since
kept it away from its mother.
A few days 'ago the yearnings of a
mother's heart prompted Mrs. Turner
to come to Portland to see her
cnua. upon mating inquiries
she learned that the little one was
in the care of Mrs. Colvin. Going
to the latter's house she made known
her wish, but she was refused admit
tance her wish. She was not more
surprised when her husband appeared
upon the scene and said to the other
weman: "Throw her out, her!'.
Mrs. Turner expostulated at such
treatment, and getting angry accused
her husband and Mrs. Colvin of liv
ing together in criminal intimacy.
Thereupon Mrs. Colvin flew at Mrs.
Turner, but the latter was as plucky
as she was bold, and stopped her an
tagonist's rush by a well aimed blow,
planted with considerable force di
rectly between the eye3. She imme
diately followed up her advantage,
and Mrs. Colvin got decidedly tho
worst of the encounter. Hence the
cause of Mrs. Turner's arrest.
The case is on trial this afternoon
before Justice Bushwiler, and is
likely to take up the rest of the day.
