Heed liver Slacier. SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1S95. The 0 lacier has received from Pal mer & Hey the ' Portland Illustrated Annual for 1894, printed from material fiirni.jhed exclusively from the Palmer & Roy type foundry. It is the neatest work of the typographic art we have ever seen come from Portland. Among the illustrations it shows the ascent of Mt Iiowd by the Mazamas. In a pic ture of the Hood River party reaching the top we can recognize Doug Lan- trille. Miss Delia Watson and Ed 'Williams. Published by Peasley Bros, The stale teachers', association In session at Portland closed its labors last Friday. Cver .700 teachers were in at tendance. Hood River was selected for the nest place of meeting, August 0, 1895. Supt. Shelley thanked the association for deciding to hold their next meeting at this place. He thought most of the people lining at Hood River hud come hereon account of its healthy feature, and suggested that the mem' bers of the association might likewise roup sound benefltin this direction. Tho American Pomological Society, which meets at Sacramento January loth, 17th and 18th, has accepted the invitation to come to Portland, and will arrive there about January 24th It is said parties are being organized as far Eust as the New England states to charter cars for the trip to this meeting at Sacramento, and these parties will also visit Portland. The reports which they will take back to the East as to the character of the. fruits grown upon . this coast will carry more weight than tons of descriptive literature, Tho following foom the Yakima Re- nuhiin mnierninir nhinmpnts of nota- toes East sounds like returns made on shipments of fruit from Hood River: "The returns from certain commission houses IoT' potato shipments from this locality are not such as to greatly en courage either growers or local dealers. As an example, Mr. Mills states that lie si'iii uiicuii ions iu a ot. x am uuuau and that his check in payment, after taking out freight and commission charges, was $24.77, or $1.65 per ton. Wo hear of another case where the amount shipped was thirty-three tons and l he returns $41.75. Yet, in both instances, news from the commission houses to which the potatoes were con signed, received but two days before shipment was made, quoted the spuds to be worth $10 to $14 per ton. The outcome Is disheartening'to 'Yakiimv citizens who had hoped mnch from the newly opened up markets at the East, and from the reduced railroad rates that had been granted. It Is not just, perhaps, to charge that there was any skulduggery' on the part of the com mission men in the above instances, but the growers are put to thinking that tho best way to sell produce in the distant Eastern markets is to have some one at the other end who has an inter est in the produce consigned and in the Yakima country, to do the selling and make the returns." l i. t'- f a. i. .. c L Tk 1 , Keirs Items. The state of Georgia is sending a long freight train loaded with corn to the starving people of Western Nebraska. A spell of cold weather in Florida du ring the last three days of December ruined the pineapple plantations and the orange and vegetable crops. The mercury went down to 14 above zero. The frost, however, killed the scale, one of the deadliest orange pests, and exterminated the white fly, which was becoming active in some groves and tin e.itened the state.

Editor Glacier: With an exuberance of sen timent crowding the avenues of my heart at the annual approach of Christ mas, I turn in memory to the land now becoming noted for its red apples, its progressive people, charming scen ery and never-failing crops. : The weather here is lovely and spring-like; nature seems to be in a kind of undecided state of mind as whether It would be best to open up with a winter play or to bill the coun try for the "Midnight Summer's Dream." The populists of this county are said to be happy, having, after two or three years of hard work, succeeded in oust ing the democracy and taking posses' sion or all the offices, except two or three minor ones, by majorities rang ing from five to seven hundred. The Tyler Harpoon thus felicitously and expressively states the case: "In the 'free state of Van Zatidt' the populists stized the democrats just above the bifurcation of the pantaloons and lit erally swiped up the earth with 'em Blast our cats if it isn't enough to make any man move out of the county to see it turned over to a gang of pigeon-toed ninkumpoops who haven't sence enough to save beef in a salt factory, much less the county." And yet, as long as we remained republicans and democrats were "all right, hale fellows well met;" now we are the scum of the "yearth." v "Sieh is life." , A recent revolution in the checkered life of the local newspaper, with some difficulty and a change of management, threw your humble unsophisticated servant in the office as typo and proof reader pro tern. .Although I had never seen a !'form" made up or distributed a type, and had not set up, all told, over three columns in my life, all of which had been done recently a3 a kind of recreation from other work, yet the prlucely bribe of a salary of fifty cents a week, with the privilege of boarding around among delinquent subscribers, was too potent an argument to resist. Three weeks ago last Saturday I was Ordered to the front to take possession and run the paper for all it was worth if I run it in-the ground. I put a fresh coat of grease ou my shoes, unearthed a dilapidated and long-forgotten neck tie, and with great precision arranged It iu taking style, loaded my pipe afresh and proceeded to the office. As I entered I instinctively felt there was "music in the air." The former Intellectual leviathan- (still in posses sion) was writing at the table. He never looked up, though we were good friends and well acquainted. I began to unfold my mission, but before 1 completed one sentence ' he slightly turned his head aud in a very abrupt and emphatic manner said: "Go tell him that not a wheel moves in this establishment until I get my money." I began again, but was cut off shortly with a repetition of the same buruiug words. I turned on my heel, commenced whistling a tuueiu French.and walked off. The back salary of the former chief being settled in the meantime, I entered - the--offlce Monday - morning and began work. It would take too long to go into u description of sur prises found iu the various departments of this printing office. I only mention one of the interesting features, illusbng time allowed the venerable couple - I trating, perhaps, the fertility of the average typo in utilizing and arrang ing for comfort aud speed in his labor ious employment.,;. - s There were four good-sized boxjpii! toons, each partly tilled "with earth, all placed at such points as would. best serve thejypo and editor In saving the! wear aud tear of life in muscular move ment and thought iu grouping n tlnia ejections. . There wert sevxral other places iu the rooms wbe. toons were budly wanted, buf, either from a desire to add some new patterns not readily obtainable, or financial de pression, the former management had not been able to introduce any more; but a study of the geography of the floor would indicate to the commonest observer locutions where a number of other spittoons ought to pay running expenses from the start if not pay a small margin on the investment. ', Taking in with me a boy, who had seen uboul as much of -the inside of a printing office as myself, we went to work. We "ran In" a country boy, near' by, who had seen several mouths of printers' work, and compelled him to throw down the first type and make out the first form, only keeping him Monday and Thursday the regular printing day, Thursday night, between 9 and. 10 o'clock, we laid the innocent-looking form "iu its little bed," and a few mo ments later the heavy grinding 1000 pound roller of the Maun printing press moved clumsily over its face six times, giving us the "first edition" of the new "Roaring Thunderer." This edition was immediately exhausted by anxious readers, including the humble afore said, and we weul home to read it with critical eye iu order, perchance, to es cape being the central figure in a hur ried and Informal "hanging bee" the next day. , The next morning we run off, after liberal corrections, another edition of 500 copies, and in the afternoon the third edition, all of which was soon exhausted, and we found ourselves "in the swim" with the "goose hanging high," Without any further help we two boys, fresh from the outside pasture, have brought out two more weakly issues. '. ' "' : ;'f . ' '' ' ''. A new foreman of experience was added to the force last week, and now the whole establishment Is being over hauled and set in order, so after Christ mas week we expect to issue an all home print. . 8. T. H. Wanted A pome ou the "Beautiful Snow." . . icor iei spit BABY WAS WELL BAPTIZED. Stolon for the Purpose by FIous Bat Fil. ferlns Guatemala Domestics. A San Franciscan, traveling through Central America with his wife and young babe, rented furnished apart ments in Guatemala and engaged a serv ant to act as nurse and general .house maid, says the San Francisco Argonaut. She had been in their service less than a week when she inquired of the father if the babe was baptized. IIo replied in the negative, whereupon she insisted that the child, a girl, would be forever lost. Within six weeks he had tried four consecutive servants, but found that each one would pilfer small arti cles, and finally determined to get along without any help. One after noon, while sauntering lazily through the plaza, he was accosted by servant No. 1, who asked if the babe was yet baptized. "No," replied the father. "ouu unDapuzea. .wen," sne an swered, "it is all right, as I stole her away one Sunday, and the good padre j baptized her, calling her Maria, so herj soul will be saved." "As it cannot ; hurt her, and may help her, I am satis- j ficd," thought the parent, and so dis missed tho subject from his mind. The next day servant No. 2, with a new charge bundled in the linen swath on her back, approached him at the mai ket place with the oft-repeated query: "Did you have the baby, baptized?" and to his reply of "No" she consoled him by explaining that she had taken the little one to the cathedral and had it named Catarina, so her soul was saved a scdond time. Somewhat amused, the father hunted up and in- tervicwed the succeeding servants, and discovered that the baber had been stolen to the church by each of them and quietly baptized. Consequently the name ran Maria Catarina Margarita Cruz Eloisa Refugio, besides that of Emily given by the parents. LONG MATRIMONIAL CAREER. A Couple In Hungary Celebrate Their Hundredth Anniversary. We have all heard of tin weddings', celebrated after ten years of marriage; of crystal wecldings, after fifteen years; of china weddings, after twenty; of sil ver weddings, after twenty-five; of gold, after fifty, and of diamond, after seventy-five, or, as some folks celebrate it, after sixty years, says the Philadel phia Press. But the scale of celebra tion does not seem to extend any fur ther, and one wonders what precious thing would bo selected to give its name to a wedding recently celebrated in Hungary the one hundredth anni versary of the marriage of Szarthmary and his wife. This appears to be a circumstance which is entirely impossible. But the marriage of this aged pair is duly and officially recorded as having taken nlaoo in Mav. 1794. at wViinh t.imn an. cordinrr to the record, thev were of mar- . riageablc age.

SAVING TIMBER IN MISSISSIPPI. Stringent State Laws Tor tho Preservation of Forests from Extinction. : Timber depredations, according to i the New York Evening Post, have been stopped practically in Miswssippi by a law which punishes offenders severely There are large areas of forest land there belonging either to tho United States government or to the state, and the temptation to settlers in remote regions to enter upon them and help themselves to wood was often too strong to be resisted. ' When driven from federal land by deputy United States marshals, the timber thieves found refuge in the state forests, which were not so well policed, and by moving from the one territory to the other they contrived to escape arrest. The federal officers finally became so vigilant that timber stealing proved a dangerous business, and the . thieves transferred all their operations to the state lands. The legislature thereupon passed the law referred to, and it has improved the morals of the people so much that some districts Whichormer ly were the scene of wholesale depre dations are now almost freo from the raids of poaching woodmen. The stat ute imposes a fine of two' dollars per acre for each acre in every forty-acre Sub-division of land upon which any trespass is committed. For the pro tection of private owners it also pro vides that for every tree cut down without their consent a fine of five dol lars shall be paid. - -. Odd Phase of San3troke. "A peculiar phase of sunstroke," said one of Philadelphia's most emi nent physicians the other day, accord ing to- the Record, "is that a subject does not succumb to the attack until some hours after it occurs. ; The only explanation that medical' science can give is that a sunstroke consists in a j aisintegrauon oi tne Diooa corpuscles, and considerable time elapses before the disintegrated blood . reaches the nerve center in the brain which acts as a governor on the heat system of the . body. The flo of the blood finally ; paralyzes the heat centers, and the heat runs riot, raising the temperature of the body to a fearful height within a few min utes. As an instance of heat prostra tion the doctor cited the statistics of the British army in India, where the great majority of sunstrokes- take ef fect between seven and nine o'clock in the evening. rbMrcion Fighting the Income Tax. . e r York World. The 8.iit brought by Mr, 'Moore to annul the income tax is hailed with , delight by the jmall plutocratic class and their newspaper organs. As the income tax 1 has been affirmed by a unanimous decision of the supreme decision of the court as recently as 1880, the hope of the millionaire tax-dodgers now rests upon some small technicality or ad ministrative feature of the new law. If the government's caws is properly defended there is little doubt that the law will stand. The attempt to overthrow it is but another sign of the cold-blooded sel fishness of the Wall street crowd and its hangers-on. Moore is a stock- Droker, He admits that his tax under the law would be over $5,000, indicat- lnS an income OI aoove "w. n can obviously involve no hardship to a man with a yearly income of a quarter 0f a million dollars to pay $5,000. to- wards the support of the national gov ernment. The tax is not" burdensome. Is it, then, unjust? Does not Mr. Moore re quire and receive more' protection for his property and his income than his poor neighbors do? The owners of and dealers In railroad stocks were very quick to call upon the federal govern ernment to protect their property and keep their roads open at the time of the great railroad strike last summer in Chicago. Their property was protected by federal bayonets. A major general of the army was detailed by the pres ident to suppress the disorder that Interfered with interstate commerce. The strikers were enjoined and virtu ally subdued by processes issued by a federal judge. What return do Mr. Moore and his corporate partners and stock-gambling customers make for this protection? The railroads have put in a claim for payment for the transportation of troops used to guard their property. The revenue of the government for the payment of these and its other ex penses is now derived "solely from cus toms duties and internal revenue taxes. B th are based on consumption, the most unequal of all taxes. Mr. Moore and hiu class pay little if any more than the average well-to-do farmers or workingmen. The $160,000,000 of In terna'l revenue is collected chiefly from ; whisky, beer and home-grown tobacco the luxuries or indulgences of the poor. I The bulk of the revenue from the tariff" I collected from the universal neces- in taxes on sugar, for example, as the man does who enjoys an income of $250;000. The income tax is an attempt to dis tribute a small portion of the cost of the government in proportion to (1) ability to pay and (2) benefits received. In seeking to defeat this most just tax the plutocratic class is simply intensi fying the popular indignation at its too-successful efforts to contrg' jjsn ernment, In all br7u - .
