The condition of Main htreet is terrible. - It resembles a huge hog wallow from one end to the other, and is a black eye to the town. How long will it remain so. Property owners in Athena are this year called upon to pay a 30 mill tax, divided ns follows: County and state, 18 mills; city, 7 mills; school, 5 mills. Pendleton" pays 33 mills and Milton 30. Great energy lias certainly been manncsted in building a tramway fivfir thfi f!hilpnnt nnsa wViipVi makes it possible, from this time on, to cross the range in an hour. The trip from Dyea to the first i i i . i jane can oe maae in a day, wnere as it formerly required a month. With this tramway and the system of steamers nn the lakes, it will be no trick at all to go to Dawson City when spring opens. When the dispatches announced that the president had appointed George E. Roberts . of Iowa to bo director of the United States mint there were not nany persons who were able to identify the gentleman promoted to this very responsible office. But he will bo recognized by many when they havo been told that ho is tho same Roberts wha wroto tho little book which was acknowledged to bo the best reply to "Coin's Financial School." He iB a young newspaper man, the editor of the Fort Dodge Messeng er and a writer of considerable ability upon financial topics. There are sometimes strango chances in politics. "Coin" Harvey started the campaign of 1800 by putting out his book, and had free silver won, Harvey might have bocomo a cabinet minister. Roberts wroto a reply, and as his side won, he reaps tho political profit from Har vey's efforts. La Grande Chroni cle. The statistics of lynching in the United States indicate that this reprehensible crime continues to flourish in spite of the well meant effort in' some parts of tho country to stamp it out, says the Oregon ian. The whole number of lynch ings for the year amounted to ICG against 131 in 189G. Of thoso oc curring during tho last year i4G were in the south and 20 in tho northern states, 122 of the victims being negroes, 30 white? and 5 (ndians. " It was a prudent and sensible precaution that placed tho battle ship Maino in Havana harbor. She is within easy hailing distanco of .Consul-General Lee, and the con stant menace afforded by her grin ning guns may inspire the riotoU3 SDain to have a moro rpsneetml regard for the lives and property f Americau residents in the un happy city, . vThe Oregon uprintcr, I Don't Know, has got into trouble again. At Oakland last Monday he was a 4 toSJavorite in a field of ordinary horses, and A. Moore, his rider, managed, by . a long pull and a strong pull to land hire in 'third position. Mooro was suspended and Reed ordered to find other quarters for his horso. ; Tho government crop reporter . has been given a tip evidently in fc 'making up the estimate of the wheat crop of tho Pacific North west. Heretofore tho statistical showing of the output of this state has been too low by a considerable margin, but for 1897 the figures are more than doubled, and represent the maximum of present estimates on the yield. Washington is cred ited with 20,12 1,G 13 bushels cf wheat from 85C,-3GS acres, or nn average of 23 bushels to the acre, holding n position far above the average of other wheat growing slates, as everyone acquainted with the growth of the ceeal realizes is the actual situation. Oregon is credited in the government report with 18,155,031 bushels of wheat from 1,067,943 acres cropped, West Coast Trade. ' Tho British Columbia New Year Honk tnye: "How a country like the Yukon ran support and hic cessfully. accommodate the thou sands of people who arc about to rush in la a question which cannot bo easily determined; but as a note of warning is necessary to the ca pabilities of country wholly unde veloped to maintaining for any length of time from 100,000 to 500,000 persons, whose livelihood must depend upon mining and, in absence of success in that, on the resources which they carry with them. The New Year Book de scribes the severe climate of the whole region, sets forth the terrible hardnhips of prospecting a country where the bedrock is under a crust of moss and frozen sand, tells what mining under these forbidding con ditions entails for the workers, of whom nine out of ten need not ex pect success, and gives some idea of the risk to life and health from cheerless, comfortless existence in a raining 'shack' ". The engineers beaten in the great strike in England numbered 80, 000 men. The eight-hour rule was not the only issue involved. The unions proposed to control tho use of machinery, to reduce the em ployment of apprentices, and reg ulate overtime. Tho amount of it was to make labor scarce and put up the cost of production, compell ing England to turn over much of her work to Germany. The most conservative and ap parently impregnable businoss man will sometimes buy a gold brick or back a wildcat mine, and a long and unapproachable business ca reer is no Bign that the 'confidence man will not at some time get in his fine work, Francis Grable, who gathered in $200,000 of the cash ot tho ultra-conservative Chemical National bank of New York, through tho presentation of his golden promises to Cashier Quinlan, was equally successful in other high places in getting money for groat schemes in tho west. John E. Suarles, of sugar trust fame, Benjamin F. Tracy, Den Butter worth and other men of national reputo havo been let in on the ground lloor of money-making schemes by Grable, who has real ized over !f3,000,000 by floating se curities. . The ignorant and confid ing are not alone in demonstrating the wisdom of " P. T. Barnum's trite remark that the public in general like to be humbugged. A sloop left Philadelphia last week primed for the Klondike gold fields by way of the Horn. Going down the river tho party struck a 6now flurry, and five of them at once lost all appetito for nuggets, and expressed a feverish desire to go back home. They were accord ingly landed at Cape May, and the rest went on. It would be inter esting to learn what these week kneed voyagers expected. It is just as well that fate oponed their eyes early; sooner or later the news that there were no electric elova-. tors in the Dawson hotels would have becu broken to them. German statesmen have always been past masters in the art of backcapping American products. Germany could fiud trichina in our pork when none was. ever thought of at home. Our horses have been found to have influenza and the largo shipments for table consumption and other , purposes are being discriminated against by being held in quarantine. . Tho Prussian minister of finance last week issued a decreo prohibiting the importation of American fresh fruit of all kinds, avering that they were infested with various un known bugs and vermin. The latter order was modified upon the prompt and vigorous protest of this government, to include only such fruit as should bo found to bo infected upon examination, and leaving customs officials to carry on the war, which, as has been shown Constipation Causes fully halt the sickness in the world It retains the digested food too long in the bowels nd produces biliousness, torpid liver, IikII- F13 geation, bad taste, coated tongue, tick headache, In somnia, etc. Hood's Fills Pills cure constipation anHU its results, easily and thoroughly. 25c All druggists.

Germany values that portion of American trade which affords her a great market in this country for sugar, wines, cutlery, woolens, etc., but adopts methods which are nar row and unfair to discriminate against the United States in coun ter commercial relations. Tha vote in the senate on the Teller resolution is evidence of the fact that the silver issue is the issue before the people and will continue to be until settled by a vote in 1900. Tho vote stood' 47 to 32. All the wegtern silver re publicans voted for it and Senator Chandler. Democrats who had al ways been regarded as gold men voted for it. New York City and several oth er eastern cities have mail deliver ed to all residents of tne place six to eight times a day. This is all uncalled for, besides, if law, is no thing but the worst class legisla tion.

' She was a pretty, sweet looking girl, and she took a seat just in front of Colby, in. the parlor car. lie had scon her upon the platform of the station be fore she got uboavd. A young innn had held her hand in his and looked sadly into her eyes. Colby thought they might perhaps be lovers. He traveled a great deal and he. generally contrived to btrike up an acquaintanceship with per sons to whom he took a faney.'no mat ter what the circumstances happened to be. The girl had not been upon the twin for nn hour or more, when Colby picked up a newspaper tlint somebody had left lying near her sent. "May I look nt it?" he asked. Site aid it didn't belong to hor, but the ice wns broken, nnd they were soon chatting quite fnmilinrly. She had never traveled nlono before, she said, nnd that was her future hus band whom she had left, at the station. She had been visiting his parents, who were the wealthiest people in the little town bnck there, and very proud. She was nn orphan. Site lived with, her aunt, and Charlie's people rather looked down upon her because she did not have money. Colby f el t indignant at them, and told Iter that if Charlie didn't teach them that n good, sweet girl wns worth more than nil the riches in the world, he wns no true man. Colby flattered himself ihnt he was too much n mnn of the world to be eas ily worried over the nff n irs of other peo ple, but this girl's frankness touched him, and he felt a jealous pnng when he thought of Charlie's good fortune, niul l.is own loneliness. lie had often said that he would never marry while he wns on the rood, and be never felt just like settling down, anyway. But this sweet, confiding creature sent n new feeling through hfm. Tie .told hinwlf that if she would be likely to prefer him to Charlie and his uninviting parenfi, he would n.fk her to be his little wife, nnd they would have n modest home somewhere, and he would be willing to give up the world nnd Its allurements forever. What 'these fancies might have led him to enn never be known, for the sweet little maiden suddenly began gathering up her belonging.!, ns tl;ey nenred n station which the conduc tor announced ns "Brmooth." "Yes," she said to Colby, "here is where I get off.. Some day I hope we may meet ngnin. You have marlo my ride a very pleasant, one, nnd it made me so happy to confide in you." He tried to tell her how she hnd changed the current of his thoughts of life, but. before he had finished site was upon the pint form waving him an adieu as the train pulled away. Half nn hour later Colby came out of dreamland to feci for his wntch. It wasn't in hi pocket, nnd while hunt ing for it he became aware of the fact t ha t h is w n 1 le t, wh ieh coti t a i net! Severn 1 hundred dollars, was gone, too. Then he rat nnd scratched his hind for a- long time, nnd finally be decided that ho would never believe innpnenr ances again. -Cleveland News nnd lh nld.
