For West mu Washington and Oregon: Occasion al showers; warmer; fresh southerly winds. For Eastern Oregon: Fair weather. The rebels of Brazil have heard so much of the dynamite gun on the Nlo theroy that they have concluded there la something in It. When the famous ship arrived oft Rio Janeiro the other day, the rebels were not at all anxious to meet her. Even the redoubtable ' Aquldaban did not manager to meet the alleged dynamiter. A New York paper publishes a car toon, anent the "Greater Nw York' bill, in which cartoon Brooklyn is al ludod to as "the Grass Widow," and voters are warned to declare at the fall election If they know any Just cause why the marriage should not take place. The figure Is scarcely a happy one, for If Brooklyn was only a "grass" widow, there would be very serious objections to her marrying Mr. New York City, t .' J Mrs. Mury E. Lease wishes It distinct ly understood that she is not "Mury Yellln' ", Mary Ellen, or anything like It, but Just plain Mary Elizabeth. That what Lease pore and Lease mere named her when she was little, and she has ben able thus far to struggle along with it. After calling down the fool governor of Kansas, Mrs, Lease ha shown her right to take or have any name she likes. To see Lewelllng heat en is Joy; to see him beaten by "weak woman," as It were, is two or three Joys. "Boss" McKane, who was sent to Sing Sing the other day, probably real ties that "troubles never come singly,' but, as the Irish philosopher remarked in dissertation on this text, "even the greatest misfortune that happens to us is sure to be followed by a still greater one." Hi seems that since the state luld Its hands on him for the election frauds, private claimants have found courage to attack the once mighty monarch of Coney Island, through civil suiC fr alleged wrong conversion of property which should have gone to then and theirs. Of these, the most important Is that of a widow named Bauer, whose claim reaches a startling amount, an J her assertions of the chiefs wrong doing ore no less startling. The mints of Persia have been closed to silver, and that country has also pro hibited the Importation of the white metal. The course of India, which re f on. d to Impose a duty on Importation, nnd now leaves silver to the nntriv.il course of trnile, with the mints closed, was not quite so bad.

It Is considered one of the most difficult problems of states manship to Increase the revenue of India by frffh taxation. The consumption of opium in all its forms Is a growing propensity, against the Indulgence of which all regulallonB of drugstores seem powerless. It would almost be a blessing If opium, morphine or laudanum, or any other form of the drug, were $50 an ounce. From being taken as a medicine It becomes a neces sity of depraved appetite, and then it wrecks lives beyond reformation, the victims being unreliable for any steady purpose of life. A California lawyer, who recently died from- asphyxiation of gas, was in the habit, It is said, swallowing 120 drops of laudanum, at time. What a saturation his body must have had to endure that quantity. Agents of the government are said to have discovered wholesale frauds In the appropriation and cutting! of walnut timber belonging to the government in Oklahoma territory. It is the old story Rich capitalists have employed day laborers to perpetrate the destruction and robbery, and In the ordinary course of things they wilt shuffle out of re sponslblllty and the equity of restltu tlon, and look smug, respectable and patriotic as before. They would resent the libelous Insolence of any one stig matizing them as thieves, but that the true character of the speculators who cut down government timber, and In addition they Inflict vast harm upon regions that need the forest to temper the climate. Offenses of this character are regarded much too lightly. A SITE- FOR A RESERVOIR. Options on Three Locations Obtained By the Water Commissioners. The water commissioners are negotl atlng for the purchase of a site for new and sufficiently large reservoir to meet the requirements of the city when the population reaches double or treble its present figures. The commissioners have options on three sites at present and it is probable one of them will be purchased. The elevation desired Is one between 250 and 300 feet, and with a reservoir so situated the commissioners think that better rates for fire Insurance could be obtained from the various com Dantes writing policies here. One of the sites on which options have been ob tained is on Cass street, in block HuEtler & Aiken's; a second Is In Shlve ly's, about 1,000 feet southeast of the cemetery, and the other Is on Main street, In block 4, Hustler &' Aiken's All have been thoroughly surveyed and soundings made, and the result has been submitted to Engineer Adorns, from whom the commissioners expect recommendations at an early day. It Is the Intention of the commissioners to have the courts decide as quickly as possible the right-of-way question, in order that no time may be lost In pro ceeding with the construction of the pipe-lino. Some of those who have Mm bcr claims along the route object to the pipe-line, on the ground, us they allege, that In case of a break the water would wash out the logging roads, and that as there are only a few months In the year during which logging is practicable, whole season's work might be lost. This claim, It Is held by the members of the commission, la not well founded, be- cause in the event of a falling tree breaking the pipe, the flood-gates with which the pipe will at Intervals be fur nished could be quickly closed. In addition to this argument, it is also shown that all the timber on both sides of the pipe-line would be cut down dur ing the construction work, leaving notlv tng standing which could, In falling, drop on thw pipe. For all this timber the commissioners are willing to pay, but some of the objectors ask $2 per thousand stumpage. Considering that stumpage Is worth only from 50 cents to $1 at present, which the commissioners are willing to pay, the stand taken by the owners of timber Is not a reasonable one. A rew nave demanded js, out tne demands have been refused, and the question of compensation will, us above slated, be left to the courts. Another point against the timber own era la that wnere tney are auowea stumpage. they can make whatever dis position of the fallen timber they see fit, su that any of it which would be dropped adjooent to a logging road could be again realized upon. The commissioners are anxious to be. gin work on the construction of the pipe-line at once, and as the large sum of $20,000 would be spent among people residing in the city, they think it sU-ange that any fair proposition should not be entertained by those who own land .along the route to Hear Creek. LIFH OR DEATH?

Proof sheets of the reviseM lumber and shingle tariffs of the Northern Pa clflc, Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern roads- have been received by General Agent Chandler, of the North era Pacific, says the Seattle Telegraph There are two of the tariffs. Instead of taking effect March 1, as was at first given out, they will not become effec tive until March 10. Among the prin clpal features of the tariff are the rais ing of the rates on lumber and shingles to St. Louis and its common points from 60 to 02 1-2 cents per 100 pounds. To all nclnts on the Burlington, Cedar rtfinida and Northern. Chicago and Great Western, Milwaukee, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, Iowa Central and the Minneapolis and St. Louis roads in Iowa, Missouri and South Dakota the rate on shingles will be 60 cents per 100 pounds In carload lots, and 50 cents on fir lumber. To points beyond Peoria the rates are-vmade up by adding the local rate to the point beyond to the 60-cent Peoria rate. The rates beyond St. Louis are also made up In the same manner. The principal tariff is very compact and Includes under one cover rates to all points on tho various lines with which Joint tariffs have been arranged This does away with the numerous freight tariffs and general freight agent's notices at present In effect. WHAT THE DOG KNEW. I happened one day to be in a Ten nessee mountain town when an election was taking place, and there was one fellow who was doing more talking than anybody else and getting Into repeated rows. He was followed everywhere by a shepherd dog, and late in the evening found him on the edge of town In a most dilapidated condition, the result of a fight with the wrong man. The dog was trying to lead him home. "Well," I said, "what's the matter?" "Fightln'," wna his brief response, "You look It," said I, quite fearlessly, for I felt safe under the circumstances. "That't a good dog you have. Do you want to sell him?" "No, siree," he replied, brightening up a little. "Here, Carlo," he said, and the dog faced about and sat up. . ' Then he put him through a lot of difficult tricks, apparently forgetting all about his own battered condition. "Why," I exclaimed, "blamed If he doesn't know as much as you do," The man looked at me aggressively, "More, MlBter," he said, "he knows enough to keep his mouth shut." De. trolt Free Press. ONE OF HIS TRICKS. "I thought you snld you were going to bring a friend home to dinner with you,!' said Mrs. Chugwater. "He couldn't come, Ramnntha,' re plied Mr. Chugwater, as he sat down with great satisfaction to the first good dinner he had had a chance to attack for a long time. Chicago Tribune.
