ATHENA. ORE.. AUGUST 7 .... 1908 A greut oeuient plant is to be built in Portland the flrsit instance in America in which Portland cement baa been manofactared iu a oity of tbat name. Portland and Salt Lake capi talists Lave organized a company with capital of 1, 200.000. and tbe lime rock will bo brought fiotn Roseburg, wbete tbey own a tract of one hundred acres of choice rook. One thousand bunels of cement a day will V.e manu factured at tbe beginning but tbe plant iri so detiignqd tbat this capaoity can be doubled at any time with very slight change. Buildings and grounds will occupy a pite of fifteen ucres in the suburbs of Portland, with both rail and water transportation. 0. W. Nibley and associates, of Salt Lake City, bold one-half the stook, with Portland captialists tbe other half. M. Nibley has extensive interests iu Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Cahforuia, and is president of tbe Union Ceruout Company at Devil's Slide, Utah, wbiob has manufactured two thousand bar rels a day during two years of success ful and profitable operatiou. Woodi the crafty, designing scamp, slyly creeps under the basket of mod esty by sayiug in tbe Leader, relative to tbe Wenaba episode: "The timid, perhaps, might divo off the platform, but not so the writer, who essayed a leap from tbe spring . board. ciioled tbrioe through the air. took tbo water at a graceful curve and swam like a porpoise tbe full length of the pool before emerging to tbe surface. It was a dariug and pictur esque stunt, and was greeted with up roarious applause, but modesty forbids futber pursuit of this particular theme. " This iu face ot tbe current and ap parent authentic report thut tbe Mea dorjPurk niiuiagoineut has recouized his stunt as a good drawing card, uud has made uu offer of ii barrels of "near" beer to the colonel if be, will do bis "tutu" at that resort next Sun day. V Iu the scout otuiser Salem ue Uuit ed States possesses the fastest warship afloat. In the recent government standardization trial over the monsured ruilo course off Rockland, Me., this handsome vessel was driven at a mux iuium speed of 20.88 knots nnd nt an average speed for five runs over the mile course of 25.95 knots. The Salem is equipped with Cuitis tur bines, u typo which has Leon developed in this country. Tbo Chester, a sister jpuhip, is oouoodod to Le the soooud fast , J est warship ufloat. Ropoits from across the ocean that the Brit in h lu- i doniittblo reached faster speeds than these ure said to be lucking iu v (indention. Aoooiding to Richard Croket, it is American money wbiob seems to be keeping Egypt going. "Two-thirds of tbe visitors," says Mr. Citiker, "I met all around eiuno from Auioriou, aud tbey represented ah putts of the states. They provide the people with u living not only iu the hotels, but in the -rrittpots. I never saw such people for begging. As soon as an Kgyptinu child is born it soouis to ask for back sheesh and Egyptiuns are looking for mouoy all the time." Three lynobings of negroes witbiu two days in threo southern states is quitoun aotivo revival of the lynching industry down there, which has suller ed a depression lately. It is difllcult to feel very indigtiaut over these affairs, providing the assumed facts ate cor rect, but in many 'cases there is no positive proof of the victim's guilt. When lyuobing mob gets its blood hot, almost auy negro will do. - ..... , . v The annual catalogue of tbe Oregon Agricultural College bus just been is sued; a perusal of its pages shows that the institution bus made lapid strides forward aud that plaua have been adopted lor tbe extension of various phasos of industrial work, particularly those of Agrioulture, Horticulture, Household Science aud Arts and Com merce. We rather like this obsei vatiou from the Washington Tost: "The Smiths, Joneses and Drowns are tbe butt of many jokes, but you never find their liauien in a list of wild eyed, tmmb tbrowins anarchists. " A Pennsylvania man died tbe other day from tbe affects of swallowing a table knife. This should be a warning to tbe republican mauagers of Minne sota o watch Jacobsen, theii candi date for governor, whose greatest claim for election is tbat "he eats pie with a knife." In spite of the arduous efforts of the Sunshine Club tbere are, according to tbe oftioial reports of the American Railway Association, something Jike 350,000 freight cars still idle. Tbat means $350,000,000' of interest bear ing capital tbat is earning nothing and yet constantly depreciating. Apples with whiskers are tbe latest discovery iu North Yakima. Some of the apples have been seut to the state authorities for inspection, it being thought tbo fiuit is infected with some disease. Owing to the hard times, Helen Gould is suspending some of ber pet oharities. The bard times don't seem to have affeoted Madame Gould. She is thinking of takiug on a new oue. "We need women to care for our souls." deolares Hamilton Wright Mabie. Which sounds all right, but as a matter of fact we keep them busy caiiug tor our sooks and underwear. Possibly Congress has tbe absurd idea tbat to tuild two battleships at a cost of $20,000,000 will be doing fair ly well for a nntion that is a trifle sby on revenue just now. EQUINE INTELLIGENCE. Chicago papers told the other day in pioture and story of a policeman's horse that followed bis master into a barber shop. A Philadelphia police borse, not long ago, caused some ex citement by trudging along behind bis rider right into tbe city hall. But for every yam about iuteligent police mounts iu other oities, tbe average New York traffio "cop" has one to match. As a Park Row city cavalry man remarked, patting the glossy brown neck of bis aid and companion. "He knows n heap more'u a whole lot ot tbe 'routs' tbat we proteot, and if he didu't he woudn't be fit for bis job." One day recently, a patrolman bad dismounted at a oougested spot to straighten out a tangle of vehicles, leaving bis burse, untied aud un guarded, near the ourb. The animal stayed rigbt tbere, as still as a soldier at attention, until tbe odor of a fine basket of peaches, just out ot reach uoross the sidewalk, struck his nostrils. The bait was too tempting even for that well trained horse, aud inch by inch be edged up toward tbe luscious meal. -"Just then his' rider, busy 100 A GOOD $42,000 Takes one of the Best Ranches In Umatilla county $20,000 down, balance payment on easy terms.

ROUGH ON RUBBERNECKS.' A new envelope made in Paris ia proof against tbe tbief or tbe meddler who opens a letter to extract or read its contents and then reseala it so olevorly as to bide any sign of it hav ing been tampered with. The new envelope is really two en velopes. Eaob ia of thin paper, one a pronounoed blue, tbe other lighter in color and different iu texture. Eaob has a gammed flap. The letter ia first plaoed in tbe blue envelope, wbicb is slightly smaller than tbe other. Instead of sealing this it ia plaoed iu tbe outer envelope and gummed cn to tbe larger envelope. Tbe outer flap is still unsealed. It is much larger than, tbe inner flap and reaches down to a good-sized star shaped opening wbiob shows through to tbe inner envelope, so tbat when the outer flap is sealed it sticks not only to tbe outer envelope, bnt also through this opening to tbe inner one. The letter is tbns practically looked and doable locked. A Lazy Liver P r bo only a tired liver, or a starved Ivor.
