Pomona's new liquor ordinance has
gone into effect. Under it no man is al

are sold upon any business whatever
under a fine of not more than $100 and

warm times in Pomona during the next
few days.
The recent ruling of the District Court
at Boise City to the effect that housees
of prostitution cannot be abated as nui
sances has created no small amount of
adverse criticism. The weight of author
ity seems to be that they can be so
abated, but Judge Nugent seized upon
an absolute ruling of some obscure New
York court as a pretense for deciding in
favor of the sporting fraternity as aguinst
the decent classes in Boise City. The
case will be appealed. There is much
indignation over his decision.
Another attempt will be made to raise
a fund for the Oregon exhibit at the

twenty-five members, ten from Portland
of the richest and most influential men
and fifteen from the remainder of the
State, thus giving outlying districts a
majority. Circulars to the number of
150 have been sent out to the Mayor of
every city and to influential men. They
develop the plan and aek for the support
of each place. The replies are coming
in fast, all of which are favorable to the
project. ;

An opinion of importance in '.n con

ple nearly, if not the whoje, cost of con
struction and rolling stock, including
the operating expenses, and this does
not, he says, include any trade up the
Columbia above The Dalles. He ex
presses the opinion that when The Dalles
lortage snail be completed tne netearn
ngs will cover the cost of construction
every year, and save the people of the
upper country a great deal of money in
transportation. There is no possible
hope of getting the boat railway bill,
with its large appropriation, through
Congress, while there is a Blight chance
for the portage railway bin.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
has written a letter to the Secretary of
the Interior, recommending that a num
ber of Indian agencies of the lesser sort
be abandoned so far as an agent was con
cerned, and that the agencies be placed
in charge of the superintendents of
schools at the particular agencies; also
that the physicians at the various agen
cies be required to act aa clerks, which
would be something of a saving in the
matter of expenses. Whether the Sec
retary will act favorably upon this rec
ommendation or not is unknown; but,
as the movement is in the interest of
economy, it is probable lhat it will re
ceive his approval, although there are a
number ot Senators and members of
Congress who might seriously object to
anything of this kind, as it would leave
a number of personal appointees with
out a job.
Utah Is making a push for admission.
and a bill has been introduced by Sena

olect all of its State officers now ap
pointed by the President, and the only
authority that the United States govern
ment is to retain over the Territory will
be to pass upon and either approve or
disapprove of the laws which may be
made or action which the state govern
ment may take. Senator Piatt, Chair
man of the Committee on Territories,
states that there will be a hearing be
fore the House Committee February 11,
and parties interested for or against the
proposed measures will have a chance to
air theij- views. It is pretty definitely
settled that the Kepublican party does
not care t give much more liberty to

Insect Have Thousand of Eye.
The eyes of insects present several pecu
liarities. Often in the same individual we
hall find two sets of eyes, the simple and
the compound, these latter haviug a large
number of minute hexagonal facets, each
of which is in reality a cornea; and the
marvel is that every single facet belongs
to a distinct eye with pupil, iris, lens, all
complete. The number ot these corneas
varies very considerably. While the ant
possesses fifty only, the ordinary house fly
has 4,000, butterflies have no fewer than
1T.000 and some beetles rejoice in as many
as 83,000. Chambers' Journal.
