Gus Spseceles has sued his
father for slander. He asks only
the nominal sum of $300, as he
simply wishes his character vind
icated. It may be safely predicted
that like many family a Hairs it
will never come to a trial. The
old gentleman will fix it up with
him.
The general verdict of those
writing to the (Woman is that
in order to obtain good times we
must support iome industries,
diversify our farming, start fact
ories as fast as we can support
them, and live economically hut
not parsimoniously. Very few run
any politics into their answers.
Among the most indefatigable
busy people, in the country, can be
reckoned the inventors. The re
cords of the patent office show that
during 1894. 3G,987 applications
for patents were filtd, md 20,803
were granted. The amount of
labor and study put upon these
inventions must have been im
mense, and can only be 'guessed j
at.
The great "moral reform" wave,
so far as it consisted of wholesale
prosecutions, has sped away into s
gopher hole. The leading gambl
er have been acquitted, and the
rest will be, or will be discharged
without a trial. Probably any of
the women with money enough to
make a defense will escape in tbe
same way. The net result is a few
pockets-full of lee?. "Reform" of
some sorts is expensive, but we
must have it, occasionally. The

Dkbee the head of "A Light
Matter" the Salem Statesman pub
lishes the following which is self
explanatory:
'Another claim which met with
objection at the secretary of state's
hands this qusrter was that of the
electric light company for lighting
me state bouse and prison. It is
said the light company claims its
contract provides for tbe payment
of 60 cents per month for every
light in the building in the rep
resentative hall, senate chamber,
everywhere every month in the
year, and that the number connnt
be diminished after they are once
set in place. Whether burning or
not, it is all the same. Secretary
of State Kincaid thinks this is not
right; that there ought tobe some
means of avoiding the expenses of
unused lights from session to ses
sion of tbe legislature and be pro
rei to have the contract fillv
wamined before be allows the bill.

Somk of the people of Silver Lake
in Eastern Oregou, are agicating
the subject of draining Silver lake
and reclaiming all the land thai
now lies in the lake bed, says the
Lakeview Examiner. Thev have
the advantage of knowing what
kiud of land this would make be
cause the lake went dry in 1893
and they got a good look at it.
It is said to be a feasible scheme
as the shannel of Silver crcec (the
lake's source of supply) can be
turned around the lake and run
off down on the desert. We are
not advised what would be the
cost of constructing the canal, but
it would probably open up about
10,000 acres of first class meadow
and farming land, and this would
certainly be wurth considerable
effort, as the work could be done
by a contribution of labor without
any outlay of money.
President Loewexbebg, of the
old stove foundry company, who
unloaded their plant on the state
for $45,000 two years ago, was in
Salem last week and offered the
state 12,000 a year foi 20 years to
rent the whole thing back. The
law provides thut the labor of the
Con vie ts shall not be leased for less
than 35 cents per day, each. Mr.
Loewenberg says th't this is too
much; that 20 cents a day is is
much as 40 cents was ten years
ago. He would be willing to keep
within the letter of the law, but
asked that while be might pay 35
cents each for a certain number,
the governor would turn him over
enough, more of the convicts to
make up the difference. Governor
Lord refused to dq this and no
agreement was reached.
Tee train roblers are playing in
h ird luck recently, and the busi
ness will soon fall into decay if
something is not done to put high
waymen on better footing. The
last two hold ups . have beeu
severely fatal. In one, out of six
bold, bad men who held up the
train, only thiee escaped; the
others being pumped full of lead
and remaining on the ground to
await the actions of the coroner.
In the other there were bu'. two
robbers, and one of them was left
in the car, the other getting away
without any plunder. One-half of
the two parties were killed, and
this puts the calliug among those
classed as dangerous. If the re
cord is kept up the business will
soon be abondoned. Ex.

have never claimed more than a lire
foot vein, and would have been euu
teuted with a four foot one, but Imag

a well defined, eight foot ledge, the
