The old books, that is the former series, were all right, but the people had to be "worked," somehow, and the game was fixed up and put through in great shape. There was a pleasing unanim ity of opinion on the part of the county school superintendents re garding the matter. It is the custom for layge steam ship companies to carry their own in surance on their steamers. It is done in this way. The cost of insurance is figured up, and instead, of paying it to the insurance'eompanies it is put into what is called the insurance fund. The experience of many companies is that this is the cheapest way of insur ance. Themethod is pursued in part by the Pacific Coast Steamship com pany; which owned the lost Ancan. The register of the land office at Seattle says that all those who had proved up on timber claims and since have' had their money returned to thfim because their advertisements were published more than ninety days before final proof, would now have their receipts issued upon forwarding the money, as the ruling of the gen eral land office, so far as it affected claims that had been proved up on, had been withdrawn. Lampist McClure is at present having a fine opportunity to see the country. He went on board the Michigan to go to Destruction Island to attend to the fitting of the lamps at the light house there, but the Mich igan wasn't able to get within ten miles of the island, and carried him all over the sound and up to Victoria and back again. Now he goes on the Manzanita, and will meet with bet ter luck this trip. H. E. Jackson is busy on a map of Taylor's Astoria, as Smith's Point and adjacent property will hereafter be celled. ,Mr. Jackson has had a party of men for several weeks running lines and has laid the entire traot off in lots and blocks, with streets num bered one way and lettered the other. The blocks will have a 20 foot alley bisecting each one, and will be 250 by 400 feet, 32 lots in each block. One ayenue 120 feet wide will encircle the shore line; another 100 feet wide will run through the center. A. motor line will girdle the point and then running north through the middle, connect at the northeastern extremity. These are great days for cheek and making money with nothing says the Journal. -A Portland cabdriver in spected a farm at Columbia Slough near that city with a view to purchas ing As the owner took him for a capitalist he was very willing to listen to overtures for selling out. The bar gain was closed. The price, S18,000, was to be cash down. The cabman returned to town, obtained a clean new buggy from the stable and drove a money lender out to the ranch. How much would you lend on the fine ranch? "Twenty-two thousand," was the reply. The cab man. has the ranch and 8000 in cash. The Scientific American in its ar ticle on Aberdeen, says: ''Men that are able to handle a dozen yoke of cattle, and get all there is out of them when a pinch comes, are scarce. For obvious reasons, cattle alone are used as motive power in the woods. It will bo noticed that the operators each stand on spring boards set in notches about five feet from the ground." The Washingtonian thinks that a bull-puncher on a spring-board would be a novel sight, as we are quite sure he would not take such a position unles3 it were to escape a sudden attack of bulls or bears: "When it comes to writing up the "bull of the woods" the American is not alto gether scientific. flTY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

Hanna Surprised His Hostess. Bayle33 W.-Hanna, late minister to Buenos Ayres, tells this on himself. Some months ago at Buenos Ayres, a rich bpanish banker gave a dinner to some friends, and Mr. Hanna was seated on the right of the hostess. She inquired as to the health of Mrs. Hanna, who was not present, and asked how'many children thev had. Bayless, not understanding Spanish very well, thought she wanted to know the age of Mrs. Hanna, and said, "Forty-eight, madam." To his surprise the lady threw up her hands and ex claimed, ''Gracios a Dios, que no tengo esposo Americano!" which, be ing translated, is, "Thank God, I have not an American husbandl" Next day the Spanish banker called on Mr. Hanna and said: "You astonished my wife yesterday when you told her you had forty-eight children." "Why, my dear sir," replied the minister, "I luougni your wire luquireu as to tne age of Mrs. Hanna, and I gave her the forty-eight figure. I have only four children, and they are enough."
