TRUY TUWNSITE
PLACED ON SALE
LOTS ARE PLOTTED IN FUTURE
THRIVING INDUSTRIAL AND
COMMERCIAL CENTER.
County Survevor H. E. Merrvman .
has finished the survey ancTplotting of ,
the town site of Troy and has placed
the lots on sale.
Mr. Merryman, and many others as
well, are sanguine Troy will be an im
portant commercial and industrial cen
ter as soon as the railroad is buiit
down the Grande Ronde river.
The O. R. & Nv is now making the
inal Burvey between Rondowa and
Lewiston and in a fe w months will have
all the data necessary for letting con
struction contracts. ,
Troy is on the west bank of the
rande Ronde at the mouth of ths
VVenaha river. AH north country roads
lead to Troy. The county put in a
ridge across the Wenaha two years
igo, and a $10,000 steel bridge across
lie Grande Ronde is under construction
this summer.
Troy is the center of the finest fruit
region in all the northwest. Tens of
thousands of acres of bench land on
which grows the finest apples, pears,
peaches, plums and prunes, are tribu
tary to Troy. Millions on millions ol
feet of the largest and best timber will
be manufactured into lumber at Troy.
These are only a partial list of the
vast natural resources tributary to this
new town.
So far, 94 lots on five ' streets, : com
prising eight blocks, have been laid out.
The streets are 60 feet wide and on the
large blocks the alleys are 20 feet wide.
The business district lots range ir.
size from 25 x 105 to 25 x 125; residence
lots 30 x 125. River frontage and in
dustrial sites of various sizes.
All the town site as laid out is under
he proposed ditch.

A
why
we uo louder Invite people to break
fust. Tbe reason is to be found In the
state of ml ml Unit usually possesses
tbe free and Independent cltlzeu at
tbut hour iu tbe inuruliij;. a state of
mind tbut makes him unbearable to
himself uud to every oue wbo comes
near hint. Presumably It was uot ever
so. for Invitations to breakfast were
ouce commou enough, and uot so long
ago eltlier. Mr. Uludstiuie used to
have guests to breakfast every Thurs
day morning ns recently as 1S84, uud
It was thought sullkleut to supply teu
aud coffee, oggs. bread and bultcr and
perbnps some cold meat. Hut the
really solid breakfast bad come Into
fashion long before then, and It Is
said that the English learued the fash
ion from the Scotch. Motley, when be
was ambassador to Kiiglnud, found
that the substantia! breakfast was
grievously opposed to the simpler cus
toms of his own country. He says,
"When I reflected that nil these peo
ple would lunch at and dine at 8 I
bowed my bead In humiliation, uud tbe
fork dropped from my nerveless
grasp." Argouaut.
Big Clocks.
The big clock of tbe Metropolitan
tower at Mudlsou square. New York,
la by long odds the costliest aud most
elaborate public timepiece ever con
structed and is tbe only great clock in
tbe world operated wholly by electric
ity without the touch of human bands.
Some of Its other Wonders are Its size,
being the largest four dial tower clock
and the third largest clock of any size
la the world, and its altitude, which
Is tbe highest of auy clock lu tbe
world. It lias also the btggest and
heaviest striking bell.
The other three largest clocks are
the one face dial of the Colgate fac
tory In Jersey City, which Is forty feet
across, the next In sbr.e of mammoth
public chronometers being the dial at
St. ftombort's. lu the old city of Ma
llues. In Belgium, whleb is thirty-nine
feet across. St. IVler1 of Zurich,
Rwltxerlaud. has a dial face twenty
nine feet, aud then In order comes the
MetroHlltan tower clock, which Is
tweuty-six feet six luehes In diameter.

Bunyan's Wicket Gat.
In tbe village of Elstow there is
abundant material that la visibly asso

bells in tbe ringing of which Buuyan
rejoiced and afterward- trembled.
Above all there must be mentioned tbe
wicket gate which figures early Id the
story of ' Pilgrim' Progress." The
wicket gate of "Pilgrim's Progress" Is
commonly represented as a garden
gate or a turnpike gate, but really tbe
term denotes a small doorway cut out
of a large door. Concealed behind a
tree at the west end of Elstow church
is Just such a small doorway in tbe
broad wooden surface of tbe great
door. Through this lowly opening
Bunyau must often have passed wben

'it seems that ou a very dark night
a stalwart Confederate. took the major

uarrutive of the prisoner's return to
camp, was signaled to headquarters
tersely:
' 'Major Bunks, raptured ' during
night march, exchanged later for two
plugs tobacco.'"
