COMES TO THE RESCUE
County Assessor Carl Graves de
cided yesterday afternoon to instruct
his field deputies to make an enumer
ation of the hop, goat, mohair and
prune industries in Polk county, and
will make the returns official by certi
fying the result to the Secretary of
State's office. As Polk county pro
duces no tobacco, gold-dust, oysters or
salmon, the columns provided in the
blanks for these Industries will be
used in making the enumeration.
Mr. Graves has been giving the matter
careful consideration for several days,
and, after a consultation with Secre
tary Dunbar over the telephone yester
day afternoon, decided to pursue the
course outlined above. Polk county
will thus be enabled to make a proper
showing of her important resources,
and the timely action of Assessor
Graves will be appreciated by every
citizen of the county.

One of the problems with wh ch the

from a disagreement between the two

at the straight of things-but as
a aifllQTinn
nearly as we can learn w du
ia aa follows : The Cane switchboard
in Sheridan has a com
mercial wire leading directly from
trtWn to Dallas: the Olmstead
company in Sheridan has not. These
two switchboard companies are at
outs, and refuse to have anything to

Two hundred Igorottes, Moros, Neg
ritoes and Visavans will leave the
Philippine islands this week, arriving
in Portland the latter part oi April,
where thev will proceed immediately
to the grounds of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. These natives will popu
late the Philippine village of the Gov
ernment peninsula at the Exposition
CToon their arrival, the construction
of the Fhillippine village will be
started at once. A featuie of this
will be a city of houses built on
poles over the surface of Guild s
Lake. This is the characteristic
of the expedient resorted to by the
natives to avoid reptiles and foes
of similar kind, The city of pole-
houses will be occuppiedby the Moros,
who with the Igorottes stand lowest in
the scale of civilization.
Boiled dog will represont the princi
pal sustenance of the Igorottes, who
nrA foncededed to be epicureans re
garding this delicacy. The general
supposition is that a hearty meat oi
boiled, fried or roasted canine aaas
fervor to the fighting prowess or
Igorotte warriors. Accordingly, the
fWflAsh is served only to the males,
the fairer sex being denied this rare
treat.
Visitors to the Centennial, however,
need have no foar of witnessing a
bloodcurdling combat, unless the
Pm-Hnnrl nolice should become ob
streperous in the presence of the
Igorottes, which would naturaay io
suit in a lively seance.
