City Cowly Oficial Paper.
Oxe result of this year's census
eboold bo the securing of an additional
representative in congress from this
state.
'I oouLD preach a whole sermon,"
said Dr. Talmage recently, "on the
everlasting blessing of a good nevrs
papec. A good newspaper is the
grandest temporary blessing that God
has giveu to the -people of the United
States."
The Chemical bank of New York
declares a dividend of 25 per cent
monthly, or 300 per cent annually.
The par value is S100 per share.
Capital, 8300,000. Surplus 0,052,900.
The last sale of stock brought $4,500
per share.
Ip Christopher Calumbus had only
had the foresight to postpone his dis
covery one year, it would have been
possible to celebrate the four hun
drcth anniversary without interfering
with the delights and excitements of a
presidential campaign.
TnEPosen Courier intimates that
Germany is ready for war at any mo
ment, and that 1,100,000 men could bo
massed on the frontier in one day, at
points already selected, and within an
other week 800,000 men would form a
second line. "What Germany seems to
need is some one to bring on the
enemy.
There is a "prophet" on the Is
land of Java who has been paid S100
per year for the past thirteen years
"to not predict a tidal wave which
will sweep clear over the island."
The natives believe that he has to
only predict to set a wave in motion.
If any body has a softer snap, let him
be heard from.
Aftee they had jailed a tramp in
Indiana as "poor, friendless and hav
ing no home," he invited the sheriff
to dinner, sent out a hundred dollar
bill to buy champagne and turkey,
and asked him to take charge of
$2,600 he had been carrying in his
bootleg. They managed to get that
jail door open back to the jamb as he
walked out
The statistics showing that the
cost of producing the Illinois com
crop of 18S9 was $03,000,000, while its
market value is only 58,000,000, are
amply estimates, and so may bo con
siderably out of the way; but there
can bo no doubt that the raising of
corn has become unprofitable in
Illinois and all the other western
states.
buildings. If we do not get these
aids now, wo will not be obliged to
wait many years. The tremendous
importance and growth of this section
will absolutely compel them, while
our representation will be greater in
congress and our influence thus increased.
S. S. "Watermak, a Calaveras
coanty, CeL, newspaper man is dead,
aged 35. Ho was paralyzed in hands,
feet and lungs, couldn't walk, had to
hold his pen or pencil between his
teeth and write that way, could hardly
talk loud enough for anyone to un
derstand him, yet, though so heavily
handicapped, his mental powers kept
hha up till nature succumbed in the
unequal straggle.
AiirLti providing for the selection
of townsites in Alaska has been passed
by congress. It provides for the pur
chase of 1G0 acres of land as nearly
as practicable in a square form for
townsites at $2.50 per acre. They
zaay then be divided into town lots
and incorporated as a town, either
personally or in connection with any
incorporation which may bo formed.
The bill was amended to exclude
lands occupied by natives, mineral
Jands, such lands as the fish commis
sioner may select, Kodiac or Afoquak
islands, for the purpose of fish culture,
and also Fribylov island.
Thk Milton JEayle, in its editoral
notes, among other things, prints the
follewing: TValla Walla is arranging
for extensive advertising in divers
magazines and newspapers, the pro
ject to be carried out when spring
opens. If the board of trade of that
city had the acumen of a superannuated
paokmule, thoy would recognize a

If attracting unusual attention
speaks well for the new states, they
certainly ought toachieve a creditable
reputation. But we fear for the con
trary. With a heavy indebtedness in
North Dakota, runaway legislators in
Montana, a nondescript assembly in
Washington, and a crowd of land
boomers in South Dakota, surely con
ditions have combined to give these
states a questionable notoriety. The'
seem to be making up for lost time, or
rather they are, as in the case of the
Washington legislature, losing time
which they can never make up. It is
the same old story of youth and inex
perience. When another generation
has passed away these amusing inci
dents of the present will serve as an
invaluable source for tile stories of the
future.

There is nothing new in the situa
tion. Packers and dealers still are
discussing the prospect for the new
season, and there seems to be some
division of opinion among them. The
majority hold to the belief that the
season promises well for the industry
in all its branches; but there are a few
who make the prediction that the
new cannery companies and their
fishermen will crowd tho streams to
tho damage of the industry generally,
if it does not precipitate troubles
among the fishermen such as were ex
perienced some seasons since on the
Columbia river, when one man fished
and the other held the rifle. It wonld
be better for the packers to arrange
these matters beforehand if possible
It is not right to arm men and send
them out with instructions to protect
themselves. It is more than likely
that there will be conflicts between
the old fishermen and the new on all
streams. There will not bo fish
enough for all, and the old timers,
quite naturally perhaps, will put in
some claims of right to fish tho
streams. The new comers will claim
that the birds in the air and the fLsh
in the sea, in a state of nature, belong
to those who can take them. The old
timers will retort with, why don't you
take them? This will be the signal
for a row. Somebody will get hurt
and nobody will get any salmon.
To make a long story short, there
will not be a large supply of salmon
on any of the streams this coming sea
son if experience is any guide. Tho
Sacramento and Columbia rivers are
making lighter and lighter packs every
year. Alaska is the main dependence
of the packers. Many of the new com
panies will pack in Alaska, but in all
probability one season in tho frozen
north will knock all tho enterprise and
ambition out of them, and they will
leave salmon packing to the companies
that have made a business of it for
years. Salmon Talk in San Fran

Two Pair at a Birth.
ir a
ScoTTDtt,r, Pa., Feb. 13. Mrs.
Michael Newton of Everson this morn
ing gave birth to four perfectly formed
baby girls.
Mrs. Newiou is rather a large wo
man, good looking and 3S years old,
and had eight children before she gave
birth to those to-day.
Many visitors thronged the house all
day, and the Newtons were the recip
ients of a large number of presents,
including five and ten dollar notes.
When papa Newton got his first
view of his wife and babies ho threw
up his hands and shouted, "Holy
Moses, what a pile of kids!" Ho
gradually became calm, and at last ac
counts was doing quite well.
Tho children are as much alike as
four peas, and their weight is about
four and a halt pounds each. They
arc remarkably healthy and take
nourishment at regular hours.

General Debility
"For four years my wife suffered with
large tumor bunches on the glands under
the arms, and general debility of the wholo
system. She became so poor in health
that wo were on tho verge of despair
regarding her recovery. Physicians did
not seem to understand her case; at all
events sho never derived any benefit fronj
their treatment. She finally concluded tc

she continued to take it, and this Is tho
