They went in for a. blij string and got it. Four Seattle men captured (.ixty-fleven. The Albany hunters are undoubtedly keeping within the limit of twenty birds, and If Linn county has ten or twenty deputy game wardens here as reported, It ought to be Been that the outsiders keep within the limit." Major Newell, of Portland, who has during t'ho past few months been experi menting along the river with a mining boat, has purchased a two year's lease of a placer claim on the farm of Mr. Hammond, two miles up the river and Is taking t'ho iboat engine to the ' mine, to bo used In pumping water for the working of the mine. air.

Stine-baugh had1 an exciting ex perience with a bear family in the By bee springs county recently, says the Grants H'ass Observer. He first saw a small cub and shot It. He next eaw a large mother bear put In an appearance, and when she made a cloud of dust arise as she made her way to Mr. S. ho be gan to wlgh he was not In the country. However, he brought Mrs. Bruin to bay when about 30 feet away from his stand ing place. Another small cuib then put In an appearance and was shot, making three bears In one heap. An elderly man, said to be a cattle owner or stock buyer, who arrived in the cliy a few days ago and who Invested liber ally af the various faro banks, losing up wards of $30it, was missing yesterday and Inquiries failed to ascertain his where- nbouta. He had been djinklng to excess the night before and was last seen In a prominent brothel. It Is fflkely that he 13 "Cached" away and will remain In ob scurity until he Is sobered up or relieved of his surplus coin. Those Who loaned the old mm a few dollars on his purported fbank account are a little anxious to re new his acquaintance. -Baker City -Democrat. C. F. McKinney, a wealthy Oumberman, is in Pendleton from Burns. He has been in tho district from which the reports came of trouble between settlers and In dians. Speaking of the dispatch from Burns, McKlnley Is said to believe there is danger of serious trouble between the residents and Indians, members of the Umatilla tribes and others, accustomed to go into the mountain "hunting grounds In the summer season to kill deer by the wholesale, leaving alll carcasses but the hams to be eaten by, birds. McKlnley thinks authentic reports) of collisions may be received any time. The Ashland Tidings nays: "J. C. Mitchell, the Oazelle cattle buyer who was In Ashland on his annual visit re cently, has. purchased the bulk of the beef cattle that will 'be turned off by the stockmen In this end of the valley this fall, the price paid being 2 cents per pound gross, an increase of a halt cent per pound over last years price which was unusually low. Tha cattle are to be delivered at tho railroad on the south' side of Slsklyous between the 15th and 20th of this month, and It is estimated that there will be 500 head delivered to him from that part of the valley south of Ashland, a large share of them by H. F. Barron and sons and G. 8. Butler." Part of the pmeltlng machinery for the new copper mine has arrived tt Grants Pass. The machinery is tfor a smelter capable of turning out 20 tons of ore in 25 hours. The cost Is between $20,000 nnd $24,000. It will require from 200 to 300 men to work the mines and smelting works when they get into proper shape for steady work. This 20 tons per diy means a large sum of money to be paid out in wages, and it also means a large mmount to be brought In, as copper Is worth 9 cents per mound In the markets Another rich vein about 10 feet thick has been found, and it is said to be even richer Jhan some of the other copper aeposits laireaay uiscovereu. It is reported that a more than usual number of snakes of the rattle-attacm- ment variety have been sean during the past summer. The only explanation or this fact that has so far been offered Is that there are po more rattlesnakes than during other years, but that tncy are throwing themselves in sight iwlth greater frequency and activity on ac count of tfle warm,' dry weather. This theory is probably as good as any, since It Is a well known fact that a rattle snake takes great delight Whiling away the lonely hours In the hot sun. Lots of snakes have been killed during the past few weeks, and one gentleman who recently killed three rattlesnakes says they are not only -more num-rrous but bigger and fatter than usual. Times Mountaineer. The Pilot Rock Record has the follow ing to say: "The peuple of Heppner have been trying to create lively times for that place . for some time, and at last they seem to have reached It In the shape of a boom for Satan's sulphur cworks. The old man has been conducting a branch office at that place for some time, but it now looks as if It had established headqjarters there. Tha Gazette in speaking of the -affair ays: 'the devil is in the church,' and Intimates that he Is raising particular fits. It is too bad that intelligent men and women will allow themselves to get mixed tip In these petty quarrels and; carry therm to Buch 'an extent that' they become the talk of the whole state. The trouble In Heppner, which' has caused the arrest ol the minister and' placing- htm under bonds to await the action of the grand Jury and raised a genera-l tumult In the church, originated nearly a year ago over one good sister remarking that the daugh ter of another stayed out too late at nights. From, this it grew until almost the entire church! became Involved. Had the old lady who originated the strife been strictly 'following the example of the One whom she professes to be a disciple of. she would not have had time lo slan der her neighbor's daughter, and had the balance, of the members mixed up In the affair shown a Christ-like spirit, they would have burled the matter as they egrced to at a conference hsld thera long ago. If there Is a hell fsr anyone, the person who gads about and tries to ruin the character of other ought to get a whiff of It." E.VG LAND'S "FERRIS" WHEEL. England; love pluck, and the Princess of Wales recently proved that she pos sesses a quality dear to all our hearts. She was the first lady to take her place In a carriage upon the great wheel at the Indian exhibition, and the first to rrraks the circuit of Its enormous revolu tion. She was accompanied by her daiiRhtem, the tuke and Duchess of York, and some ladles of her suite. Of course there is not tho West dancer In the net. but then there are many ladies who would ft-el nervous about It, es- r,e.;ia71y as It had not long been In use, ond only open to the public for a day. Since then it has. to use an Ajrerlcanifm, "caught on," and crowds throng the carriages at every revolution. They re semble nothing so much as a very com fortable railway carriage, and the pace at which the wheel moves Is so slow that that there is ample time allowed for the survey of the marvelous view over Lon don afforded by It. To understand the enormous size of this great mechanical triumph you must .stand under It and look up at Its tremendous proportions, the dfzzy heights ot the half-way resting places, iwhich will soon be opened as restaurants, and the vast size of the carriatges, eaiehl capable of containing 80 persons. Certainly the princess Inaugur ated one of the great enterprises of the season. The Housewife. DANGER OF ORIENTAL COMPJ3T HON. Chicago Times-Herald. The Times-Herald has commented at length upon too danger that may be ap prehended by American manufacturers from competition in-the Orient In the event of tho free admissun of Its manu factured products to our ports. The phe nomenal progress made by China ana Japan In the manufacture of silk and cot ton -fabrics has been but recently com mented upon and the grave concern of American and English manufacturers Is not allnyed In the least by. the recent revelations of American travelers who have 'availed themselves of the oppor tunity to personally .Investigate these fa-ctories in tha Orient. Mr. William E. Curtis, a reliable and painstaking correspondent of the Record, ow in Japan adds confirmatory testi mony to the statements already adduced, and brings out come additional facts that are Invested with -more than ordinary significance. He shows that Japan not only has the advantage ot both English' and American manufacturers in the mat ter of wages and cheap raw material, but as she is doing business on a silver basis the wages she pays for "operatives are even much smaller than would at first appear. The Japanese w"l pay 1J and 20 cents a day for maie labor and 8 to 10 cents a day for woman. From an American standpoint, however,, the Jap anese pay in silver, America and England 4 and 6 cents for women, while from a Japanese standpoint the Americans pay f3 and $1 tfor men and about Si. DO and $2 for women, which is double tho wages paid from an American standpoint. The fabrics they produce sell for the same price tho world over, but while the Jap anese pay in Silver England and America pay in currency that is on a gold basis. Therefore, while the outlay of one rus doubled that of the other has been di minished one-half. The Japanese manu facturer has suffered no Increase Iu fixed charges' or in the cost of labor, nn-1 gets double prices for his products. An Idea of the increase of the cotton mill Industry of Japan may be gained from tha fact that In 1883 there were 16 mills with 43,700 spindles, while in 1894 there were 46 mills with 600,419 spindles, it is thought there will foe 711.000 spinlles In operation by January 1, 1896. It Is thus very apparent that the Ameri can wage earner without a protective tariff would have to compete not only with cheap labor but With a cheap and debased currency. COUNTRY GIRLS' BORIAlP BOOKS. There la more to 'be had from the sys tem of clipping pictures than Is general ly supposed. An ambltloU3 girl Who lived in a remote rural district, where books and pictures and! means of education were very scarce, trained! herself to an excellent knowledge of many things by this means. She formed quite a library by 'filling blank books with pictures of every historical and eminent person whose portrait she could .procure.. The picture waj pasted at the top of the page, and she never rented until she was able to write the hitsory of that person upon the rest of the paje. Copies of famous pictures were treated in the same way, and the date of its painting, the name of the artist, and a -little sketch of the subject of the picture treated was written beneath by her own pen. Companions to her art book, as she called it, were her sculpture book; her botany book; full1 of flowers; her. book of blrdj and insects, and her book of costumes- of different periods, as well as a similar volume on architecture and furniture. By the time these booka were finished! by this woman, who was apparently absolutely cut oft from all sources of refinement and culti vation, had acquired' a knowledge and de veloped! an amount of taste and discrim ination that might well have Ibeen envied by any one. A chance encounter with Ruskin's "Modern Painters" set her off again on a new road by their revelation of the laws of order and beauty that un derlie all growth of plants, movement of water, and form of clouds. At once the lonely scene about her became full of In terest. Never a drifting cumulus of curd ed cirrus shadowed the sun but it set her busy mind at work upon the laiwatof Ifs being. Never a green bough- bent over her head or a brook flowed across her path that she did not stop to trace Its history and origin written plainly in Its form and course. (Ladles' Home Journal WHILE IN PARIS "DO" EUROPE. An artful and ingenious Frenchman In Paris, with a well developed and subtle knowledge of the frailties and vanities ot tho traveling public, has hit upon a plan that will place many American dollars In his pocket and at the same time permit -those who go abroad this summer to prac tice Innocent Impositions upon their cred ulous friends and neighbors on their re turn. His method Is a simple one, and yet, when adopted In connection with a care ful reading of Baedeker or some other guide book. Is one that 1s almost certain to mislead the "folks at hone," and give one an appearance of having travelled much, although he may not have gone to any other place on the continent than Paris. This thoughtful, provident Frenchman has laid in an excellent stock of those Innocent and therefore truthful teli-tale pasters that all travelers cherish and delight in having stuck upon their ti unks and boxes In places far from home. They are exact reproductions of the palters or labels most In use at railway stations and h'ostelries in the various countries abroad, and these, for a mild onslde-a-tlon he will apply to any article of bag gage.that a traveler may have. Th-3 tour ist selects the Labels and he does the rest. With enough of these jtuck about in discriminately to be used In evidence and a slight knowledge of the olac;s thereby Indicated, gleaned from a guidebook, de ception is made easy and a reputation for having "done" Europe can be cheaply gained. This industry Is a new one and bl.la fair to meet with great success, as tales of foreign travels like those .if fishing adventures are eldom confined to the niceties of truth, and It Is not simldered any more Improper to stretch a point in telling about one than it Is in telling about the other. The scheme was fir.it made known on this side on the arrival of the V'hlte Star steamship Teutonic the other .lay. A vivacious young woman who h il been abroad with some friends was met kl the steamer by her brother, who looked after her baggage. After the customs officials had tumble 1 the things In her trunk about as the law tequlres her brother noticed the many pasters upon It. - He expressed surprise that he had been Jn so many places during her rhort ab sence, and remarked that she had mil nothing of many of them In her letter. She laughed heartily at this remark and told him that they Dai nearly all beei put on in Paris. "It only cost me 4 franc 1 1 and lots of others had done It, too." she said. S.ie then stated that she could have had plenty more had she deslr td, as the man had all that any one could with. The Frenchman hi -ind wM?dly fillet "a long-felt want," and hereafter doing Europe on a dollar a day will be con sidered an unnecessary extravagance. Truly Paris 1s the center of the uni verse. New York Times. THE ASTORS' HOLDINGS. Largest Owners of Real Estate in New York City. There is no doubt that William Wal dorf Astor and John Jacab Aator are the largest individual owners of real' estate in Now York city. Like John-Jacob Astor, the elder, they have always regarded real estate the safest investment. Oid- John Jacob Astor first became a real estate owner In 1789, when he bought for $25 a lot of land on the Bowery near Elizabeth street. Twenty-one years later he was the largest holder of real estate In Now York, and his descendants have ever since kept the lead-In thU respect. In 1K15 he sold the Astor house for $1. William B. Astor had expressed, a desire to own It, whereupon John Jacob told him that he would sell it to him for the amount named. The bargain was con cluded on the spot. The greatest care has always been taken to keep the exact value of the Astoc estate from the public. When John Jacob A3tor, the first, died he was said to be worth $20,000,000. At William Astor's death It was reported that he -was worth $50,000,000, but this estimate has been declared to be too loty. The -Astor family have been acquiring real estate In New York since 1811, no matter who has been nt its head. Rents which accrued were reinvested with' a particular view to the location of the property. John Jacob and William Wal dorf Astor have continued to make real estate investments with land bought In Harlm and the annexed district within a few years. One real estate authority in speaking about the Astor land holdings said that south of Eighty-sixth street it Included' twenty-five acres of land solidly built up. Yet this large amount of prop erty does not amount to more than half of the Astor estate, which owns lands and buildings around Jerome park and alongside Riverside drive and the Boule vard. It is the business custom of the Astors to give leaseholds for 21 years, on which the lessees build, the lease be ing sirbjecl to renewal at the end of 21 years on a reappralsement. The ground rent for these properties goes to the es tate, but on the assessment books the property does not appear In the name ot the Astors. . THE BOND SYNDICATE. A. B. 'Hepburn, president of the Third National Bank of New York, contributes to the Forumi an article on "The Bond Syndicate and' Its Excellent Work." He says that at first the national treasury was not so much In need ot gold as it was In need of funds, and If the secretary of the treasury had' possessed power to issue exchequer notes or to negotiate a popular loan he could easily have met the deficit In the revenues and main tained his gold. Being denied the power to borrow money to meet current ex penses, the secretary resorted to the act of 1875 and borrowed to strengthen his gold reserve. The borrowing was done ostensibly to strengthen the reserve but really to provide funds for current ex penses. Thus the government was forced to attack its own credit, to fix the atten tion its own citizens and of the world upon Its vanishing gold, emphasizing and thus aggravating the danger of. going upon a silver basis. The only relief con gress offered was a bill to coin the seigniorage bullion, which would have -been Inflation, pure and simple. The president vetoed this bllO and ex erted all the power of his great office to prevent the debasement of our currency and maintain our commercial honor. In the fact of the recalcitrant attitude ot congress was all the more alarming and Induced foreign holders of American se curities to liquidate' the same lest In future they be compelled' to receive pay ment on a sliver basis. Carlisle's re quest to congress last December, supple mented by a special message to congress by the president, failed to obtain author ity to borrow money in a way most ad vantageous to the government. The re fusal of congress ,to co-operate "was the result of the deliberate purpose on the ptit of the silver Interests. to afford no relief to the government's necessities ex cept through the use of silver, the logi cal result of which, would be to force the country upon a silver basis." It looked a if the free silver extremists would succeed. The export ot 25 millions of gold In January and the withdrawal from the treasury of nearly 20 millions more than was exported allowed that it was withdrawn In anticipation of a profit from the expected premium. The gold in the treasury went down to Jess than 43 millions, against over 415 millions ot greenbacks and treasury notes which. were redeemable In gold. - The president and his secretary were equal to the emergency, and those who have criticisms to offer - because of the high rate of Interest the government ts compelled to pay should bestow them upon the dominant Influence on congress, which refused to save In the taxpayers this extra Interest. The banking house of J. 8. Morgan & Co. and the Roths chllds became the sponsors for American credit, not by word of mouth, but by the investment of 32 millions of their money In United States bonds, "payable in coin," thus proclaiming their faith that tha gold standard would be maintained. For- eign criticism vanished in the light of tangible action like this. Liquidation ceased and Investment began. Withdraw, als from the treasury ceased and eev era! Harge sums already withdrawn were returned as soon as the terms of the contract were made known. Mr. (Hepburn then tells how stock ex change prices and the quotations for wheat and cotton were strengthened by this action and says ws cannot expect the business interests of the country to reallze the obligations they owe to the boml syndicate for protecting them from a panic and commercial crash upon the brink of which they were trembling. He adds that the sliver Interests have dom inated currency legislation for many years; that silver hardly Is "demonet ized" when we have 648 millions of It In circulation; that the great decline In the price of silver is due to cheapened production, etc.; that "silver has ceased to serve the convenience of men"; that the free coinage of sl.ver dollars con taining only 371Vi grains of silver each would mean silver monometallism, the driving out of our gold, and resulting In money stringency, currency famine, and commercial crisis. "For protection against such a calamity we are Indebted to the bond Issue," and "iwe must com mend the wisdom and statesmanship of the president In rescuing the country from such serious danger. ADJUSTABLE CALIPERS. Improved Form of Tool With Movable Regulating Oar. A Western engineer sends to the Ameri can Machinist illustrations of a new ad justable calipers deviBed by him. The calipers are of the familiar form, the heavy central rivet being countersunk at both ends, and by means of notches In the back countersink, being held from turning In one of the legs, the other being movalble for setting. Upon this central rivet and outside the movable leg Is an "adjustable bar" movable about the rivet and clamped In any position by tightening the large thumb nut covering the upper end of it, which is split. Upon the movable leg of the caliper there. Is plvott'J a stud. In which la shouldered a milled headed adjusting screw the threaded end of which works in-a pivoted "ud upon the adjusting bar. The adjust-- bir being movable, as described, a 1 -rt screw Is suflicient for any adjus: mo t within the range of the calipers either inM-1? or outside. EXPOSITION Portland, Oregon.
