THE D AIL'S ASTOMAfc, ASTOIUA, 8UNXAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 20. 1 i3 V ! THROUGH TIIE STATE Th average country paper, nays tho Hlllsboro Independent, would be much Improved if the Ink was more Judiciously applied, together with a little better work manship. Another trouble Is, that too many seven-column papers are published Ira six column towns, Hon. J. A. Wright of Union has been In vestigating mining Interests in Southern Oregon and returned to the city today. He Is very much Interested in a big dis play at the World's Fair of Oregon's min ing Interests. There is no boubt he thinks but that the special effort at a fruit and mine exhibit would pay. this, state big in an increase flow of immigration and capital. It is reported that a settlement has been made by P. A. Marquam of $5000 to Mr. W. C. Avery, whose wife was killed in the elevator at the Marquam opera houce. It was concluded that there was a clear case of damages, and as the law always allows as much as $5000, the easiest way was to settle without a suit. It Is under stood that Judge Marquam is indemnified by the Elevator Accident Company. The Union Scout in its county court proceedings has the following: lllds were then opened on keeping county poor farm for one year, and the contract was let to Egbert Cofflnberry at $3.75 per week for each pauper, the contractor to have the use of the poor farm and the county to furnish the necessary clothlngnnd modi furnish the necessary clothing and mcdl tractor to furnish all necessary core and attention to the sick. Last Friday Robt. McCartney, a bridge builder living at Wolf Creek station, shot his wife accidentally in the hip with a 44-ctUlber Winchester. Ho was In the house showing his brother-in-law how to handle tho gun, when tho lady stepped In front of them Just as it accidentally went off. The bullet tore along under the Bkln for a few InchvH, but did not Btrlke inward. Tho couple are rooming ut Col. Curry's residence, and Mrs. Mc Cartney, who Is a young woman of 1, Is recovering rupldly. Grant's Puss Courier. A few duys ago tho grund Jury of Ma rlon county completed Its labors and sub mitted Its final report. At the state in sane asylum they found 830 patients; at the state penitentiary 390 prisoners. The report adds: "We found (ut the peniten tiary) everything ull right; that every thing was kept clean and Is being econom ically and satisfactorily run." The grund Jury examined the county Jail and "found It u poor excuHe," but that It was "being conducted as well as the circumstances will permit." The Jury also visited the state reform school ar.d "found 63 boys confined there and being well cured for. Everything was neat and systematically arranged." i On Monday, says the Oregon City En terprise, Mr. Tarrant, of Portlund, but who owns 200 acres of land adjoining Os wego, was in the city Interviewing the court desiring to huve his assessment ro duced. His 200 acres was assessed ut $18,000, or $90 per acre. As he recently sued the Oregon Iron and Steel company for $20,000 damages for encroaching uion his nronerty a few feet with a mine, this would not seem an unreasonable assess' ment. .If a drift from a mine run in a few feet dumuges land $20,000, the whole 200 acres, which is held ub mineral land, ought to be worth $18,000. What will Mr. Turrunt tuke for his 200 acres might be a proper question for the court to usk. Und blood exists between the Indians and Chinese ut Umatilla, and it Is feared trouble muy result. During the past few weeks wood bus been scarce at the In dlun village, and to keep from freezing the 1 milium have been tearing down por tions of the large flume which wus bull! for mining purposes b1 a company of Chinese several years ugo. The China men expended over $5,000 In building the flume, and were nitturally quite angij when they buw the. Inroads the Indium were muklng on It Monduy a squad oi hrmed Chinese surprised some squaw us they were breaking down part of th flume, and drove them from the seem-. The Indians are desperute. The grand Jury of Marlon county re turned a true bill ugulnst H. S. Simon yesterday for attempting to bribe on ex ecutive officer, Hull waft fixed at $1000 and a warrant for arrest placed In the hundh of the sheriff. The charges before the grand Jury stated that on or ubout the first day of March, 1891, H. S. Simon re quested Oeo. S. Downing, superintendent of the penitentiary, to cull at his place of business. In anBwer to this request Mr. Downing culled and was told by Mr. Si mon that if he would purchase certain supitlles for the penitentiary of him that he would give him live per cent., and If thuk was not satisfactory, that he would give him ten per cent. The witnesses against Simon were Joseph Cavnnuugh, U. It. Harr, Oeo. 8. Downing, and Syl vester Pennoyer. V. Q. Steel, of Portland, who has been ut Washington, In the Interest of the Alt. reserve hud the following to say about It on his return to Portlund. "A misunder standing In regard to the timber reserves seems to exist in various otherwise well informed quarters. It Is simply a ques tion of time, should there be no legisla tion to the contrary, when all the timber would be taken from the Cascade range. Such is the history of all well timbered countries. The effects of the reservation of such timbers can be seen In this way Our climate today Is regulated to a great extent by the moisture retained In the mountains; by dense forests within which snow melts gradually, and by moisture retained throughout tho year. Remove tho forests and the snow melts quickly, and there Is an early spring followed by a long siege of dry weather. First, the streams are swollen to an unusual site and then they are dried up. With a per manent timber reserve this calamity might, be averted for future generations." In tho office of D. R. Crocker, of the Oregon Improvement Company, is an old, urlglnal sign with tho trademark ot the . steamer Northwest, known to every old- timer as the boat that formerly ran from Itlparlu to Lewiston, says the Walla Wulla Statesman. She la now broken up, and Mayor Stewart, of Texas Ferry, sent her old name, which formerly hung onto the old pilot-house, up to Mr. Crocker to place at the head of his grave some time when he died. The Northwest In 1878, during the Indian troubles, when under command of Captain 8tump, went up Snuke river a far the Orand Rondo river with oil of Howard's outfit to head oft the Bannock Indians, who were sup posed to b heading that way after their defeat at Birch creek In Umatilla county. The trouble was,' the Indians did not go that way, but kept straight ahead, bo Howard's men had long marches to get near them again, but they never found them aftorward to an great extent. Tho old sign brlnga up many reminiscences of early days in this country, and should be preserved as a memorial of days the like of which we Bhnll -never see again. Ostrich Farms In California, Most people have heard something of ostrich farming In South Africa, but few, comparatively, know that within the last ten years ostriches have been Imported Into Southern California, and thrive well in that beautiful climate. "I was lately Baying," writes a correspondent from California, "on an ostrich farm owned by an Englishman at Norwalk, Los Angeles county, Cul., and took some Instantaneous photographs of these Interesting big blrdB, with their 'attitudes queer and quaint,' as well as some Bketchcs. It was a sight well worth seeing In the morning when some fifty birds were let out of the pud dock, where they had passed the nlttit, into the pasture or field. The whole troop with wings outspread, their long white plumes IWavlng, (rustling, and almost whistling through the breeze they made, would race In a body several times around the field al a pace thnt would leave a good rncehorse nowhere at the finish. This would Invariably be followed by some of the finest kicking I huve ever seen and by some very entertnlnlng waltz ing. Some well aimed kicks would re sound hero and there, but their powers of taking are quite equal to their powers of giving, and 1 never saw one kicked in to nn Invalid. When going umongBt tho birds It Is sometimes necessary to carry a long forked stick, and If they should show light they are ilterully 'choked off' by the application of the fork of the Htlt k to their necks. Their diet Ih varied by giving them chopied-up sugur beetH, maize and alfalfa hay, cut up and well mulstened, and thus even a small farm of twenty acres, highly cultivated, can well support one hundred ostriches. The eggs are hatched In Incubators, for though the birds will 'set' after laying fifteen eggs, double that number Is obtained by their removal to an Incubator. The first plucking from chicks six months old aver ages $4 per bird at wholesale prices, af ter which the birds are plucked every seven months: and the second plucking averaging $12.50, the third and after $20, until the birds are full grown, then the annual proceeds from the feathers of an ostrich are $35. Owing to some eggs b.-ln;? unfertile, It Is difficult to estimate the in crease; but this might fairly be placed at eight chicks a year from a pair. The unfertile eggs nre Mown und have a ready Bait! at $15 and upwards a dozen. The adminslon fees of visitors to the os trich farm are another Bource of profit. One man cun do all the work on such a twenty acre farm, but at pluming time extra help Is advisable, A duty of 25 per cent, levied on raw feathers Imported In to the United States given the ostrich farmer there an additional advantage."
