The signs on the walls ot San Francisco seem to be written in the same spirit of humor that led Nero to fiddle. It was altogether the most sensible thin? than any one la Rome was dome at the time. On the side of one of the curb stone kitchens on Sacramento street some uncrowned Nero wrote "Eat. drink and be merry, for to- moirow there may be another earth quake." It wasn t meant to be taken too seriously. Anyone could see that it wasa joke. And as a joke it was more helpful than another wall sign, wnicn reau "Unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish And. by the way. the context from which that sentence was taken admonishes us not to imagine that those who perished were sinners A church in the Western Add!

That was what somebody chalked on the side of bis cookhouse. ' Salmi of duck all the time; libster Neuberg ready soon," was the cheerful, if not accurate, bill of fare displayed on another. AH the famous restaurants ot San Francisco had located on the curbs if ou believed the signs on streets. One was called the- ' Fair mont," and. another acrosa the street advertised itself as the "Un- fairmont." The "Wayside Inn." the ''Outside Inn," and the "Inside Out were neighbors, and the "House of Mirth" looked a little like one of those New England barnyard structures that are put up at Thanksgiving for the smoking of hams and bacon. Earthquake Shakes" were ad vcrtised at 5 cents a glass, and the "Dodrop In wa9 the caption of a rustic kitchen composed of window bunds, reinforced with matting. One, less optimistic, wiote: "Out in the cold world. Out in the street." But it was not long before some one added: "But what's the use of kicking, When you've got enough to eat." Someone advertised her cooking thus: "House of Mystery pies Si." Over the tables in one ot the more pretentious restaurants was the printed advice: "If the waiter does not please you, shoot him; but for God's sake don't shoot the cook, for we can't get another. He's doing his best. "Water, both fried and boiled," was some humorist's idea of what the board of health meant by writ ing in chalk on all the blind walls advice not to drink uncooked . water. Appros of the board of health, its industry led to placard the city with minute instructions about ne cessary but usuallyjunmentioned things. One unconscious humor ist advertised "fried eggs" at a rea sonable rate, but he was almost equalled by two doctors who adver tised that they "had moved." Evi dently the trembler made them both feel small. l ne commercial signs took up the spirit ot humor where the rus tic kitcuen lett on, when the gas was turned on in the houses, "Safes opened FREE for those who are unable to pay " was the rather puzzling sign displayed at the foot of Market street. At the top of a flight of marble steps that no longer led anywhere was a marble slab taken from the ruins and doing duty as a directory of the tenants who had been "fore ed to move on account ot the altera tions on May 18." W e want you to know that we are still alive and quite well, was the sign that appeared at the peak of a heap of ruins on Market street "Pushed to the wall, but coming through, and expect to land at No. street." indicated that one firm had not lost its ability to see the funny side of things Over the skeleton of a temporary matter has been prepared carefully suited to the different grades of the public schools, with illustrations of the tent schools in uoiuen oate Park, and other interesting leatures of present conditions in the school department.

A NEW O. R. & N. TRAIN. Upper Columbia River Given Ser vice That Ia Appreciated. The new local Upper Columbia river train put on by the Oregon Railroad & iMavigation Company, May 20, will do much toward at tracting tourists to points along the river betwteen Portland and The Dalles. The new train leaving Portland as it does, at 8:15 a. m., and arriving at Portland at 6:00 p. m., the same day, gives one an op portunity to spend the day at some of the delightful places along the Upper Columbia river, and permits them to return home the same day. The train is made up of baggage car and coaches, and stops at all points in both directions so as to accomodate local travel as much as possible. The lightness of the train, however, permits it to run at a high rate of speed between sta tions, so that even with stops, good time is made. There are many beautiful places along the river, such as, Rooster Rock. Latourelle, MuUnoman rails, Boneville, at which a day's outing and picnic can be enjoyed to the ut termost ana mis new service mattes u poaatbi to tak auch outinga. whereas, in the past, when the ser vice has been performed by heavy through trams, it has, not been pos sible to do this. Columbia Southern passengers instead of waiting at Biggs, which is unattractive, are taken to The Dalles promptly where they await the train for Portland, coming in on No. 1, as at present, or taking the local, as they may desire. Havre, Mont., June 12. Havre and Fort Assiniboine were struck by a hurricane this afternoon that did damage estimated at $ 200,000. Buildings were toppled over with out warning when the cyclone struck and not a structure in the path of the terrific wind escaped damage. Several persons were in jured, but up to a late hour no fa talities were reported. The fierce wind catried tain with it, which fact precluded the possi bility of damage by fire. An earth quake could not have more com pletely demolished the glass in the city. There was scarcely a whole pane of glass in the down town district and residences also suffered severely. The Havre Hotel lost 280 window lights. The top stor ies of the Havre Commercial Co.'s building, a concrete affair, were picked up by the wind aud deposit ed on an adjoining lot. The lower story, used as a store, remained in tact, but eleven clerks, mostot them women, narrowly escaped being buried in the debris. Telegraph wires are down and commuuication with the outside world practically paralyzed. Great destruction was caused at Fort Assiniboine by the tornado. The flood is terrible, engineers reporting that the territory between Havre and Glasgow resembles a sea. fears are expressea lor tne safety of residents in the vicinity of Harlem and Chinook.

Greer. What the Newspapers Say About the Recent Election. The way for republicans to elect republicans is for republicans to vote for republicans. If we have wolves in sheeps clothing in repub lican ranks run them down and dismiss them from the party. The sooner the better. Gervals Star bo far as two congressmen can accomplish results for prohibition, this election has been carried, for Prof. Hawley and VV. R. Ellis are total abstainers, champions and ad vocates of the repression and the extinction of the liquor traffic, and they will be found going on record for dry legislation. Sherman Co. Observer. It is to be regretted that some men who desire to vote do not know their own minds, but depend upon others to do their thinking. Every voter should decide for himself and make it a point to get thoroughly inlormed liefore election day. Woodburn Independent. He would be a mighty hard man to please who cannot get a grain of comfort somewhere along the line in Monday's election returns. The democrats can be thankful that they got their governor; the republicans should feel jubilant over the elec tion of the remainder of the state ticket, the legislature and a United States senator; the rrohis snoulu rejoice that it was no worse . that it was, and the socialists should be thankful that they were permitted to vote at all. Polk Co. Observer. Let's uot have any wore kicks coming from the farmers that we are governed by politicians and pro fessional men and that they are dis regarded. One of the best men Oregon can produce, against whom nothing cau te said, who has done more lor the farmers thau any man in the state, and a farmer himself, has beeu turned down for governor for an oily politician and turned down by the farmers themselves. Newberg Graphic. On the two members of congress the republicans have about 18.000 majority. It would be two or three thousand more but for the fact that the entire liquor interest in the First district tried to defeat Hawley. Perhaps it will be admitted, even by "non-partisans," that the vote on members of congress has politi cal and party significance. This, with the fact that of ninety mem bers ot the legislature, eighty-four are republicans, perhaps will be some indication that Oregon is not yet a democratic state. Oregonian. "Hands oflr says the people to the liquor dealers who would tam per with the local option law, and they say it with the decisive major ity of 10,000 votes. The liquor in terests may get it pounded into them after awhile that the people of Oregon know what they were doing when they declared tor local option. Newberg Graphic. No, Mr. Jack Matthews; no Mr. Charles Carey; no, Mr. BillKeady; no, Mr. George Brownell; uo, Mr. Ike Patterson. You are at the end of it. The republican party will not be obliged to accept your lead ership in future, ia order to win. You are at the eud of it. Ure- gonian. Republicans have a peculiar habit it seems, of electing democratic mayors and now and then a demo cratic governor. Olympian. Eight counties have gone "dry," and they include Sherman, Lane, Linn, Benton. Yamhill, Tillamook, Coos and Wallowa, and probably Malheur, and with numerous pre cincts in other counties. The "rot tenness" of the saloon system r Astoria is the cause of part of that town going "dry," and it Is where the breweries are situated where local option carried. Tillamook Headlight. One of the absurdities of the election is the outcome of the vote on the big appropriation bill which was held up two years ago by the appeal to the referendum. It now appears as if a majority voted "yes" on that question. The effect is to legalize the appropriation and all the schools may be maintained and the appropriations for new normal school buildings will be available at once, it is sale to guess that not one voter in ten was in favor of those new buildings, but they have voted for them just the same. The voters are using their newly acquir ed power of veto very absurdly when they approve by their votes what they denounced so generally with their mouths. Forest Grove Times.
