H. Y. KiRKPATRICK,
r :iitor - and - Proprietor
Unci. Sam is giving the British
lion's tail h 1 of a twist.
(rover Cleveland's enemies now
admit his high patriotism.
Afte.- forty years trial the city of
Dayton, Oregon, has ordered y
the saloons closed.
The two niiuhtiestTJrt'es ih our
modern civilization are the church
and the school, and Dr.. H. AK.
Roders declares they should never
be divorced. Ex. ''
Ever since man rose from all
fours and began walking on hi
hind legs, his feet have been lead
ing him into trouble. He has
walked in the way of the ungodly,
danced down to perdition, and
now, on the football, is kicking
when he might be attending union
Thanksgiving services. The heels
educate themselves; the braiu bus
to be looked after. While football
rushes may be the making of
brawn, legs are not all of life, nor
lungs merely for braying through
tin horns. Ex.
The following will kill any horti
cultural pest, so leading fruit grow
ers say: One hundred pounds
sulphur, 100 pounds unslacked
lime, 100 blue vitriol. Put thirty
gallons of water in a kettle. Boil
the sulpher firBt two hours. Put
the slacked lime in the kettle and
boil one hour; then put in the vit
riol dissolved and let all boil one
and one half hours. Stir well
while boiling. Put iu a barrel to
cool. Hpray the trees before the
buds put out. Use one gallon of
tbe liquid to thirty gallons of
water.
B. Cofl'ey, ex-agent at the Uma
tilla reservation, won the suit that
the government had instituted
against him to recover alleged de
falcations. Mr. Coffey proved to
the entire satisfaction of the court
that he not only did not owe the
government one dollar, but that
the government owed him about
$150 balk salary. The Oregonian
gays that the ex-agent has been
thoroughly vindicated and his ac
counts are absolutely correct. It
is refreshing to find an Indian
agent against whom there is no
charge of fraud.
The reformers of Portland are
after tbe mayor and chief of police
about open gambling in the city.
The mayor says it cn't be stopped
and the reformers say it must be
stopped. Tbe chief doeB not have
anything to say, hut continues to
draw his fat salary. Reformers
majr tuwe, aim jeiormers may go,
but gambling will go on forever.
In a city of PorthjmlVizeTnce
Can-SfrtTlie checked. Tt can't he
entirely eradicated. If men will
gamble, they should go where the
public, who dislike such things,
will not be annoyed by the rattling
of chips and the tinkling of glasses.
Drinking and gambling on Sunday,
where the noise of the carousals of
its devotees is forced upon church
going citizens, should at least be
stopped. All gambling is prohibi
ted by law, but only fanatics
vould follow the gambler to his
den, if that den is frequented only
by men of mature years and where
boys are not allowed and the noise
of the game is not hettrd by men
nd women on the streets and et
their homes. Intelligent men
enow that people will gamble and
know that no law was ever made
that could ston it. But thnv have
. . i. .. E... ... . . ' ..
the rigr.t to require, that tpis evil I
be not communica-tclto the young j
men of the city and that their
wives and daughters be not lorced
D 1
to hear tbe oaths of drunken men
on the streets on the, 'Sabbath day.
We have no personal knowledge
that this state of affairs exists in
our city. Repeated and continuous
rumors indicate that such things
re done'hire. If tbey be' true,
then the result of our recent city
election, together with t.ie argu
ments made on the streets election
day, would' indicate on thing
A JOB FOR THE PREACHER.
It Wm to B Either conwiahw or th
Funaral of a Mountauiaef.
The mountain circuit rider met me
at the foot of Hurricane gup in the Pine
j ZTltZ
about a mile from where the roads
forked we were stopped by moun
taineer with a Winchester, whom the
j preacher knew. He presented me In
due form, and when the native knew I
I was an "outsider" he didn't hesitate to
talk.
"1 just Btoppad yor," he said to the
preacher, "ter ai yer to come up to the
house In the mornin'."
"Anybody sick?" inquired the
preacher.
"No," and the mountaineer hesi
tated. "You know you have been a
talkin' ter me fer a long time erbout
gltten religion, an' I been a holdin' oft!"
..The preacher nodded and looked
pleased, for there was a tone of peni
tence in the native's voice.
"Well, I've erbout made up my mind
that I've got ter the p'int when some
thing's got ter be done. Jim Gullins
come by my place this mornin' an'
killed one uv my dogs when I was
away, an' you've heerd me say what 1
thought of Jim Gullins many a time
afore this!"
The preacher nodded sorrowfully
this time.
"Well, I'm goin' down to see Jim
now," continued the mountaineer, "an'
if I git him I'll be ready to jine the
meetin' house when you come up in the
mornin', and ii Jim gits me you'll have
a funeral to preach, so'b you won't lose
nothin' by it nohow. I must be gittin'
along; good-by." And. slinging his
Winchester into the hollow of his arm,
he hurried away through the thicket,
leaving the circuit rider and me sitting
on our horses in the road, completely
knocked out by the suddenness of it
all and the peculiarity.
THE NIMBLE ELEPHANT.
Be Vantaraa ta Flaest Which Wanld Pas
su Hubs.
It Is a remarkable tiling that ele
phants are able to make their way up
and down mountains and through a
country of steep cliffs where nnules
would not dare venture, and even f
where men find passagediflicu.lt Their
traeks have been found upon the very
summit of mountains over seven thou
sand feet high.' In these journeys an
elephant is often compelled to descend
hills and mountain sides which are al
most precipitous. This is the way in
which it is done: The elephant's first
maneuver is to kneel down close to the
declivity. One fore leg is then cau
tiously passed over the edge and a
short way down the slope, and if he
finds there is no good Bpot for a firm
foothold, he speedily forms one by
stamping into the soil if it is moist, or
kicking out a footing if itisdry. When
he is sure of a good foothold the other
fore leg is brought down in the same
way. Then he performs the same
work over again with his feet, bring
ing both fore legs a little in advance
of the first footholds. This leaves good
sure places all made and ready for the
hind feet Now, bracing himself by
his huge,- strong fore legs, he drewshis
hind legs, first one and then the other,
carefully over the edge, where they oc
cupy the first places made by the fore
feet. Thisisthewaythe huge animal
proceeds all the way down, zigzug,
kneeling every time with the two hind
legs, while he makes footholds with
bis forefeet. In this way the "center
of gravity" is preserved and the huge
boast prevented from toppling over on
LAND BARONS.
Thar Hold JHIUIons of Aero of Swamp
Xand m tioutslaiia.
The New Orlenns Picayune prints a
table of the land barons of Louisiana
and their holdings of unimproved tim
ber and swamp tracts, from which it
appears that alien syndicates, compa
nies and individuals own more than'
2,200,000 acres. One syndicate claims
400,000. acres, SeToral possess 100,000
Land Bore and holdings of from 20,000
to 90,000 acres are not uncommon.
Most of this land is owned in the west
ern states, but to capitalists of New
York and Philadelphia several hundred
thousand acres belong.
The Picayune explains that origin
ally the United States owned all of
tbe lands in Louisiana other than those
which at the time of the cession by
France were held by private persons
or corporations. Subsequently what
were known as swamp lands, that is to
say, lands that were subject to tidal
overflow from the sea or were anna
ally flooded by the Mississippi, becamC
the property of the state, with the pro
vision that it should sell them for the
purpose of raising a fund to build
levees. A considerable territory, con
sisting of prairie and forest land, was
retained by the United Htates to be
sold as homesteads, Such a disposi
tion was made of this land, but it is
now largely in possession of syndicates,
The Picayune's table includes the
swamp, homestead and sea-marsh
lands. The last named, a lion's share
of which has been acquired by the
Watkins syndicate, must be drained
and diked like the Holland coast, and
some progress in this work has already
