! IN BRIEF. I
t
Salem. A check for J52.701.62, rep
resenting the state's share of tho tolls
from the Interstate bridge for tho year
ending December 31, 1917, was receiv
ed at the state department here from
the auditor of Multnomah county.
Eugene. Eugene will have an army
store of Its own lu a short time. Gov
ernment groceries will be put on sale,
thus eliminating the "unslgut and un
seen" mall orders. Mayor C. O. IYter
son has made arrangements for the
store here.
Salem. There was one fatality in
Oregon due to accidents during the
week ending January 1, 1920, accord
ing to the report of the state Industrial
accident commission. The victim was
W. II. Shaver, a logger, whose home
address Is Seattle.
Astoria. The county court has pur
chased two concrete mixers at $7032
each, delivered in Astoria. The ma
chines will be used the coming sum
mer in paving the Olney and Young's
river highways, as well as in complet
Ing work on the road to Fort Stevens.
Salem. Contracts thus far awarded
for furnishing supplies for the several
state institutions for the first six
months of the year 1920 indicate that
the prices quoted for the various com
modities are from 5 to 10 per cent
higher than when the previous bids
were opened here in June, 1919.
Rainier. A great deal of interest
was taken by people of this city in the
special bond election which was held
Wednesday, all three charter amend
ments being carried by big majorities.
The $35,000 waterworks issue carried
by a majority of 146 to 18, while tho
20,000 city-hall issue carried by a
majority of 135 to 23.
Salem Percy Cupper of Salem, state

land, and a third man to represent the
interests of eastern Oregon, will leave
next week for Washington, where they
will attend a meeting of the executive
committee of the Western States Rec
lamation association, which will open
there on January 14.
Eugene. Every divorce case filed in
Lane county hereafter in which chil
dren are involved will be contested, ac
cording to an announcement of Dis
trict Attorney L. L. Ray. Complying
literally with the statutes the district
attorney said that he will enter his
appearance In all cases where the wel
fare of children is at stake.
Astoria. Higher taxes will be the i
order of the day in Clatsop county on
the roll which will be due for payment
within the next few weeks. Notwith
standing the fact that the assessed val
uation of taxable property has been
materially increased in recent years,
the millage will be the largest this year
in the history of the county.
Albany. A 19-acre chicken ranch
V miles north of Albany sold this
week for $10,000. J. W. Newman was
the seller and AVilliam II. Stuckrath,
who came to Albany recently from Al
berta, Canada, the buyer.. The only
personal property in the transaction
was one cow and 140 chickens. There
are two dwelling houses on the prop
erty.
Tillamook. It will be several weeks
before the actual output of cheese for
1919 is known, but it has been esti
mated that it will be somewhere
around 6,000,000 pounds, an increase
of 1,000,000 pound3 over 1918. This
output was sold for $2,000,000, being
an increase of $700,000. The average
price of milk will be about $3.30 for
100 pounds.
Salem. Revenues from the state in
surance department for the year 1919
totaled $235,085.05, according to Com
missioner Barber, in his annual report
to the governor. With the exception
of an amount slightly in excess of ?19.
000, representing th e expenses of con
ducting the insurance department, the
revenues have been turned over to the
state treasurer and credited to the gen
eral funds.
Salem. An official receipt for the
inheritance tax of $226,089.36, based
on the appraisement of the II. L. Pit
tock estate, amounting to $6,815,345.80,
was issued by O. P. Hoff, state treasur
er. The only change made in the orig
inal appraisement, as filed by O. L.
Price, executor, was an Item of $150,-
000, which Mr. Price alleged was sub
ject to exemption because It repre
sented notes Indorsed by Mr. Pittock,
but not actually in his possession.
Salem. All automobiles owned by
motor vehicle dealers on March 1 will
be subject to assessment by the county
assessor, according to a legal opinion
given by Attorney-General Brown.
Should these cars be sold by the deal
ers, however, between March 1 and
the date of making the tax levy in No
vember or December, the assessment
will shift from the seller to the pur
chaser, and the former may escape
paying the tax by making a proper
showing to the county assessor.

A Steam Shoveller
By R. RAY BAKER
(Copyright, ll, by th Mi-Ciur Nwi-
paper syndicate.?
"There Is no accounting for (he
tastes of tome women when It comes
to men." Glenqulst observed, flicking
the ashes from his dsnr. "Maybe It a
their Intuition," he added, drawing his
lungs full of smoke and exhaling
through his nose.
The lawyer appeared more than usu
ally loquacious this evening, lie had
a reputation for being rather taciturn
when he wa not In court, but with me
he always threw off the cloak of re
serve and chatted freely.
During our after-dinner chats, which
always took place In his otllce on the
seventh floor of the lbdtwood build
ing, we had decided the fate of bol
shevlsm, solved the problem of II. C
t., settled the railroad ownership Is
sue and thoroughly threshed out the
osophy, spiritualism and new thought.
Yes, we were congenial souls, were
Glenqulst and I.
As yet we had never discussed the
most perplexing problem of tho ages
love. Maybe It was because we
were both confirmed bachelors and did
not feel In a position to talk authori
tatively on the question. However, the
marriage of a mutual friend hud
brought the mutter before u this eve
ulng, and casually I had Inquired
why Glenqulst bad never selected a
lifelong companion.
"Suppose you tell your story," he
suggested when I broached the sub
ject. "Then I'll burden you with
mine."
"I'll burden you with no story," I
replied. "There's no story to It. I
just naturally didn't take to the fair
sex, or rather they didn't take to mo.
I guess It was mutual. Have you a
story?"
For a moment be did not reply, and
when he broke the silence It was to ut
ter the words that opened this tale.
"Furthermore," be went on, "it Is
strange that brains do not appear to
be considered much of an asset to a
man when be asks a woman to become
his wife. At least that Is the cae
with some women, and very good,
bright and capuble women, too, I
mean. Perhaps, as I Ray, It Is their
intuition, or their ability to see far
ahead.
"In my case, perhaps, I deluded my
self Into thinking I had brain. Maybe
I mistook my education for gray mat
ter. Yes, there Is a difference. A man
may be fairly well educated and still
lack an adequate amount of brains.
On the other hand, without being con
ceited. It seems that I may claim to
having at least a normal supply of
thinking machinery. I am what you
would call a successful criminal law
yer.
"I was terribly fond of Tussle Wel-
don six years ago. This was my home
town, and also hers. We were class
mates In high school, and when we
were graduated I went to the univer
sity and she became a typist In n real
estate office. During our last year In
high school we had become very close
ly associated In social work ami be
fore we realized It were keeping
steady company.
"When I was at college we corre
sponded regularly, nnd it seemed to
me tlmt she cared almost as much for
me as I for her. I pictured her pre
siding in a nice little home when I got
started on tjie road to success in my
chosen profession, and although I did
not broach the subject, I felt con
vinced she would see It tlmt way.
Perhaps I was somewhat egotist icul,
but really I do not believe It was that.
To be sure, I was proud of the show
ing I was making In my studies and
very hopeful of the future.
"Whenever I cnir.e home she pro
fessed to be bapyy over being with
me, and I really believe she was. Our
favorite pastime was walks In the
woods with a camera, and I must con
fess that, deep down in a trunk, I still
have a number of those snaps. Just
for fun, I think I'll dig down and take
a squint at them tomorrow.
"Things went on like this for some
time, and I am sure that she did not
keep company with any other partic
ular fellow, although she occasionally
went to dances and other entertain
ments with some male acquaintance
who happened along and needed a
partner for some special social event.
This was only to he expected, seeing
that we were not engaged and it not
being natural for a young girl to stay
at home and spend her evenings read
ing 'Robinson Crusoe and 'Red Riding
Hood.'
"It finally dawned on me that I bad
better get busy. I was In the fourth
year of my law course, but f'assie was
growing more attractive each day, and
as I was not home to look after my
interests it behooved me to get an op
tion on her hand.
"I had spent that summer working
In an attorney's office In Clarksburg,
and so had not seen Cnssle any more
during vacation than during the school
term. .It was in the fall, and I wa
ao-me for a few days, when I felt that
(he opportune time had arrived.
"We were walking down one of the
hack streets on our way to the woods.
A steam shovel was excavating for a
skyscraper, and the noise seemed to
give me nerve. 'Cassle, I blurted out,
'don't you think that er er it's
about time we got got down to busi
ness and well, become engaged?'
"She was looking intently at the
Bteam shovel. The thing appeared to
. ,i uni- with Its chuiiKycTuir
chugging nnd Its snorting n It Mlrnlnefl
at Its base mid seemed several time
on the point of overturning It '".
thrusting the huge shovel against H
dirt wnll and forcing It upward, grad
ually tilling It. the tremendous vi
brating power of the tr.nehlne winning
against great resistance from the Imnk
of dirt, as well as the law of gravita
tion. "She- watched the big crane swing
the shovel round nnd dump Its
tents into a waiting wagon. Then the
hoisting apparatus wan Mgh 't
work on the bank of dirt nnd tho proc
ess repeated. A lapse came with a
break In the chain of wagons which
carried the dirt away. Then Cnsle
turned to me,
"I knew this was coming some
time,' she said, 'and I dreaded the mo
ment. Jim, I think n lot of you. You're
very clever, but there's one thing, a
tremendous big thing, lucking In yu.
It's physical power, or the ability to
control physical power. You may
have a great mind, but you are puny
physically. I admire strength, 1 nil
tvlre power. If you were only like
like that steam shovel there, tearing
nwnv at the earth, crushing all resist
ance, 1 could be happy with you. Some
dav there'll be a mammoth building
there w here the machine I working.
"I can't help It, Jim. and probably
It seems foolish to you; but I must tell
you, no matter now u nuns, una u
you were the engineer on that steam
shovel you would stand n much bet
ter chance with me than you would n
a lawyer. At least, yon would be
earning money with your Htrengih, for
the man that operates the shovel must
be strong.
"I confess that little speech floored
me. Yo started to whik away. 001 n
wagon arrived, nnd the steam shovel
started operations again, nnd Cassle
had to watch It sou e more. I
strangled, gulped nnd llnally managed
to say, weakly :
"'Yes, and some day I'll have an
office In that mammoth buliiling.'
Tlmt was the Inst time I wax ever
with her. With mingled disgust, bit
terness and sadness I went hack to
college nnd finished my course. I
came home with my diploma and It
was not long before I begun to win
success success such as It Is. I'm
mnklng good as a criminal lawyer. I'm
winning victories right along In court.
but when It comes to finances I admit
I'm not overburdened. I have a few
thouhand in the bank and I'm making
more every day. but I'll never be rich.
Perhaps I would save more If I Imd
an Incentive llk that steam shovel
engineer has."
"You mean" I broke In, my eyes
popping with astonishment.
Ye, I mean that Cassle somehow
got acquainted with the engineer of
the steam shovel and married him.
She took that man, grimy and Ig
norant, who worker with bis hands.
Instead of me, clean and educated,
who worked with my brain."
Glenqulst's clear had gone out, and
he rose and went across the room to a
shelf where he kept matches. His.
cigar stand, at his elbow ns he sat
and talked, was never known to hold
a match, although there was a place
for a box of then;. He took a few
puffs and came buck to the chair.
"Well, I made good on my boast
that some day I would have an office
In the skyscraper that was going up
where the shovel was excavating," he
observed.
He leaned back and looked dreamily
into a nicotine cloud.
"It seems the engineer was rather
clever In a way, at that," he contin
ued. "At least lve knew how to save
coin, and somehow be managed to In
vest It advantageously."
Ho rose nnd went to the window,
looking down on the t rn flic which
slowly was being obliterated by gath
ering darkness.
"Come here," he said, and when I
had obeyed, be pointed at big yellow
automobile just coming to a stop at
the curl) In front of the building.
"It's the owner of the building," he
explained. "He usually collects my
rent on this day of the month lie's
coming at rnther a lute hour, but he's
pretty sure he'll find me here."
We returned to our chairs', and
Glenqulst partook of n few puffs on
bis cigar.
"He'll he up hero In minute," he
said, "and I wish you'd observe him
closely. He's the u:rin I've been talk
ing about Ca.ssie's husband."
Rel Tobacco In Prussia.
Real tohncco, good tobacco, was
once grown In more than one Prussian
province, an exchange says. In
Brandenburg, particularly, so much to-
bocco was cultivated tbnt Frederick II
felt called upon In 1776 to regulate
mutters. First the quantity was cut
down, and later It was allowed to be
grown only In districts In which agri
culture did not flourish. In one year
alone, 1781-2, 168,000 hundredweight
vns grown, In 1780 Frederick ordered
a IJerlln chemist, Aebard, to experi
ment with the object of Improving tho
quality of the tobacco. Attempts were
mode at Llehtenberg, nenr Ilerlln, to
nlroduce Virginia tobacco, and Ach-
nrd was given a handsome pension for
life for his "services In Improving to
bacco cultivation."
Jade From Burma.
Practically all the Jade now mined
comes from Burma, t bough New Zen
land Is a producer of some note. China
akes practically the entire oulpiif. In
Hurmu the privilege of mining It 1ms
been held by the same Indian or Slum
tribe for many generations. The meth
od employed Is the crudest. The
Chinese prefer Jade which Is of a dark
green color, free from all mottles, and
Jade of thli grade It worth Its weight
In gold.
