THE UNUSED LETTER. A Typographical Soliloquy. In the ordinary printer's case num 1crs of letters lie in the bottom of boxes unused year after year, and, with the lapse of time, are seen to be as bright in sonic instances as when first cast. This fact awakened the fol lowing reflections from a former printer.) Just a letter to lie in a case New I may ever be; But never to leave my impress on The page of life's history. Just a new letter unsullied, unworn Only the cabinet case to adorn. O, that I were an "c" or an "a" Lying on top of the throng Picked out by the printer's hand today And set in the column long Set in the midst of a pregnant line To fashion a fact or a plan define. I think 'twere well to be a small letter Spelling a part of a word, Even a little word better, far better Than lying unseen and unheard. Tictter an "i" in an "if" or an "is" Than lying unused in a case like this. Men are like types in a way, also Some of them always booked; Others untouched as the twelve months go, Slighted and overlooked. Peing a man in life's "case" to lie I say it now let me work or die.

A Grants Pass Man after inspecting pavement said: "I had an opportunity to sec bitu lithic, Hassam, asphalt and wood block pavements. 1 made a careful and critical examination of all of these various pavements and am fully con vinced in my own mind that the bitu lithic is by far the most practical pavement. The Hassam, which is used quite extensively there, is noth ing more than a concrete pavement, and Iikl- llic concrete walks, the pave ment will crack, giving water a chance to work down through it and to dis integrate the cement, and gravel, and then the passing over of vehicles, such as heavily loaded wagons, automo biles, etc., grind up the pavement, causing holes which become more worn with every passing team, and within n very short time it becomes necessary to apply a patch, which leaves a rough surface and is very apt to soon break up again. "So far as wood block pavement is concerned, it soon becomes rough and uneven and is very slippery. The asphaltum, as is generally well known, is not suitable for streets where there is heavy irallic, and in the summer it becomes very soft and cuts up badly. "The bitulithic pavement, in my opinion, is far superior to any other in use. In the first place, the streets in Portland where the heaviest traffic is carried on are paved with this ma terial. It docs not cut up nor wear and is eay. so far as foothold is con cerned, f r teams. This style of pave ment is i he process of one parent company ami they allow only cer tain companies in certain sections of tin' United Slates to construct this pavement and they are under bond to lay it according to their specifications. It tirants Pass were to use the bitu lithic pavement it would he done in exactly the same manner, the same material would be used, the same thickness and foundation as on the heavie-it trawled Mivets in large cit ies. The secret of the success of this pavement is tint they use a bitumin ous prodevt in their mixing which has n tendency to conceal and cement the rock and gravel, thus making a per fectly tight covering over their found ation, which is of concrete. "I had an opportunity of seeing street workers attempting to take up some liteli'liic pavement on Vah iiuM'Mi street in Tot thud. It w is like attempting to take up the solid bed rock. In my opinioa there U no pave ment that wiP compare with this kind and I hope that it will lie ned in this citv," Woodhurn Independent:-- Sir. nnd Mr-H. Isaac McPIung returned ye.stor dey to their hnne ut Albany nfter n week's visit n ihohotiM of their dnuyb tor. Mrs T. V. Souh-a Mr. MeUhntg is in his ViHh yar and is inure active ut that advanced age than ninny another at 65.

The trouble between the United States and Nicaragua has been given the first place in the pront pages the past week. Perhaps more strictly it is the trouble between Zclaya, presi dent of Nicaragua, and the U. S. Nic aragua, a small Central American re public, is in the throes of a revolution. A couple of young Americans took the side of the revolutionists, were cap tured and executed by order of Zclaya, without an opportunity to make a showing, or to appeal to the dictates of international law. Uncle Sam, al ways zealous of his subjects, got mad, got out his big stick and is swinging it in a lively manner. When he gets through Zclaya will be deposed and Nicaragua will have another president, another little chapter in the affairs of the world. A few rich New Yorkers this week paid $472,000,000 for the Equitable In surance Co., offering two eye--openers, the enormous wealth of the investors and the immense accumula tion of the property of an insurance company, which through the years has preyed on an unsuspecting public suf-J ficicnt to get together such an im mense fortune. It indicates that the rates charged by this old line com pany, substantially the same as others, are exorbitant and not justified by cx periencc. Perhaps the table used is correctly figured out, but in it is no calculation for the immense gain by lapses and other sources. There is a company in Albany that undoubtedly is entitled to be called Equitable in stead of the New York concern, the 2500, whose plan is so simple a child can understand it, with no chances for equivocation, as there is in the big equitable and other such companies. This week a big prize fight was secured by the offer of $101,000 for it. It is doubtful if anything else could command such a price. A polemical fight between the itblcst men in the country would draw a house of only a few thousand dollars. The finest singer in the world docs well on a $5,000 house; but a fighter can com mand a hundred thousand just for an exhibition of brutality. Is this a com pliment to the present civilization of the world? These days one can't help being in terested in the number o divorce cases started, sort of an epidemic of them, for all manner of causes, gen erally with pretty good grounds from a popular stand-point. Down in Cali fornia this week one couple sued for divorce after living together for fifty four years. At their age they might at least have separated without the di vorce, and bid themselves. A Linn county suit is between two Indians, not a very common thing among In dians, who put up with a good deal among themselves, after a fashion. And think of the skeletons that never get out of ihe closets. A MATTER OF EFFICIENCY. If there is ever a time when a thing should be made to count tor some thing it is when a man casts his bal lot, lie should have one object in view, not the giving of some friend a job, one, man has no more right to a job at the expense of the people than another; but it is simply a question of putting men into office who will best conserve the interests of the peo ple. Men are elected to make laws and to execute thc.ni, and they are efficient simply as they do their work well and effectively. The merchant will not keep a clerk if he docs not attend to business, 'and that is what the people want no matter what the office, big or little, and whether city office, or eouniy office, or state office, or national office, the people more and more are becoming imbued with the fact that they shall be given some thing for their money, and that the best men are the ones who should be elected. PUBLIC POLICY DEMANDS IT. A hg strike wouldn't be so bad if it just alTeeted the two parties con cerned, the trikers and the strikees: but when it aOVcts the commercial affairs of an entire country it becomes much more than a local issue, it is a national problem for solution. Some day we will have laws so effective that the bit: strike will be impossible. If the govern mem owned the railroads ft the country, a railroad strike could not occur. Just the same the railroad should be so completely under the control ot the government as to make one impossible. Public policy de mands it. Hub Bryant went to I lnirn, I. arc county, yesterday on a business trip. Mrs. Mario rarrish canio up from Portland today on a visit with lur father. Vir.

A letter from New York, telling about what a power the telephone was in the life of E. H. Harriman, in fact it declares that much of the power and influence of Mr. Harriman was due to the aid of his telephone. But about the greatest thing about the telephone is that it has gone into the Home of the farmer transforming his life. This is evidently a telephone advertisement.but it is a very good one.

She said, "I told him if we were in Mich, wo would have snow and a good deal colder weather." It remains to be seen whether they stay in Oregnn or not.

He was born in Alle- fhaney county, New York on Novem er 8, 1818, making his age at death, 81 years and 21 days. He came to Ore gon in 1850 and settled in the vicinity of Salem. In 1807 he was united in marriage to Miss Louise C. Burmister, in Albany. A false idea seems to have gone out among newspapers, that the Scio milk condensery was operated by water power and that the injury to the dam was interfering with the operation of the plant.
