Scott was literally surrounded by a
group of workingmen, to whom he was
evidently explaining the strike situation,
and Incidentally scattering in a few
phrases as to why the Republican ticket
should be supported.
A Chinaman had worked his way to a
position near the great man. The fiery
words snd gesticulations seemed to Im
press the Celestial. He stood as if trans
fixed, not a muscle moving. He eyed the
speaker and the speaker eyed him.
Then all at once Scott , attempted to
speak the Chinese tongue, and the pig
tail owner became more Interested than
eVer. -"Words were flowing out in Ori
ental splendor, when some one touched
the speaker on the shoulder and Informed
htm that the Chinaman was not a voter..
"Well, wouldn't that rasp you?" ejac

McMahan a Poor Fisherman.
M. J. McMahan, the well-known Port
land attorney, went to St Johns the oth
er day on a fishing expedition.
The rumor has got abroad that since
the advent of high water, the lowlands
surrounding St. Johns were swarming
with fish, and that the finny tribe were so
plentiful that theboys around the neigh
borhood caught them with spears.
McMahan went well equipped for the
trip and was soon wsdlng out in the icy
waters of the Willamette with newly
purchased rod and tackle. All went well
until McMahan got a bite, a bite so
strong that he thought sure that there
was something big at the end of the
line. Mac. was very carefully pulling in
the line, but the fish pulled harder thjm
ever, and Mac, becoming' excited, fell
Into a large "chuck" hole, getting into
the water nearly up to his neck. This
did not seem to bother him much, for
he was determined more then ever to
land the big prise. After pulling -and
jerking the line for about 13 minutes, the
excitement Increasing with every pull,
Mac. finally brought the unhappy victim
to the surface, which proved to be a
little catfish about six Inches In length.
This blow proved to be too much even
for the always jolly McMahan, and, be
coming disgusted, he folded up his traps
and moved back Into the city.
It is said that whenever the name of St.
Johns mentioned to him he grows red
In the face, especially when mention Is
made of the large number of big fish
caught there. ."
Government Inspector Here.
William O. Von Nerta, the Govern
ment Inspector, is In the city from

are some things about the building which

have to be made in the structure, but
they will be of a minor nature. . As soon
as he completes his work of inspection,
which will require a few days yet, he
wilt make his report to ths authorities
In Washington. . . j
