Jut whore the surveyors come from seeuis to be a mystery. Possibly from the road being surveyed out from Port land, or it may lie 1111 entirely new scheme set on foot for au electric line up llood River valley. The advent of the surveying crew has aroused a great deal of exciteiueui and speculation among the Mount llood farmers. They realize that better means of transportation will be the making of the upper valley. Mr. Sanders and his wife spent a few days at their homestead, just above the L. C. Wygaudt plane. Mr. Sanders says work began this week oa the new stage road, which will ex tend along the section line, and elim inate the heavy grade on China hill. The road will come out near the Keis place.

Newell, who is in oharse of the Oregon horticultural exhibit at the Lewis and Clark exposition, was in Hood River Tuesday, endeavoring to secure specimens of ripe apples for the Oregon exhibit, which is being put somewhat iu the shade at present by the fruit from Washintgou and other Northwestern states. I he telephone was used, and efforts made to get some apples, but it seems that most of the farmers don't raise summer apples, and Mr. Newell was forced to return to Portland unre warded. The Oregon display must have some apples, and Mr. Newell is anixous that as soon as Hood River farmers can gather some good-looking apples that they send the same direct to Mr. Newell at the exposition. A bill accompanying the fruit will be promptly paid by the exposition management. BINGEN. The third crop of hay is now being harvested, and is making a good yield. A great deal ot the bay raised here is sold for 89.50 a ton in the field, the purchaser, who is generally a farmer from up iu the foot hills, hauling the buy with bis own team. Haled bay brings 811.50. A. R. Byrkett, who has a large quantity of hay, is holding for a higher figure. Tomatoes are being shipped in large quantities. The liyrkett ranch is sending out 40 boxes a day. Una number w ill soon be increased to 00 cases a day. Will Rankin and Fred Purser, who have a lease ou a portion of the Warner property, are also mak ing large shipments of this fruit. Mrs. E. O. Carson, a Portland ar- tist,accompauied by a party of friends from the East, among them Mrs. Theodore Radclilf and Mrs. Austin, were guests during the week at the Maple hotel. Business is rather quiet just now at Biugen. The people here are waiting for something to turn up, most of them having faith that the Northern Pacific will soon show its band in the great amount of railroad agitation which has been going on now lor tne past three mouths. If this road ever does come dowu the north bank of the Columbia, the people here are count- ins ou securing the depot location, and then look out for that long-expected boom. Better get in on the ground Boor and purchase property now. Theodore Suksdorf is home from Camas Prairie, where he finished har vesting his crop of bay on his so acre farm there. The crop was a good one. DUKES VALLEY. The weather is some cooler at pres ent than it has been for two weeks past. We have had a few very warm days, but have heard of no sunstroke or prostration trom heat. J. O. Cameron finished stocking his immense crop of hay last week. Mr, Cameron intends baling his entire crop of both cuttings, which will amount to between 150 to 175 tons Mr. Cameron's hay press was pulled in home last week, and will probably not start out agaiu until Mr. Cameron bales for himself. Hansen &. Thomson's saw mill closed down for the summer last Saturday, they having enough lumber sawed out to last tti e in turougn ine season, ine mill will start again in the spring, and will run steady thereafter.

Mr. Whistler from The Dalles is erecting a building iu Dukes Valley for a store. When completed Mr. Whistler will put in a stock of grocer ies aud dry goods. Now all we need is a good hotel, a livery barn, tbir y or forty good dwelling houses, barber shop, blacksmith shop and any other kind of shop (eoxopt a grog shop), and we will have a flue town here all by itself. Burney Phelps was down from Gla cier last Monday doing business in o n burg. He say-i there are lots o blackberries up there this year.

Thomas Potter, son ot the archbishop of Canterbury and member for BL Germans, Introduced In that yr a bill "for taking and regis taring an annual account of the total number ot the people and of the total number of marriages, births and deaths and also of the total number of poor receiving alms from every pariah and extra paro chial place In Oreat Britain." It was Inevitable, of course, that directly this proposal was made the precedent of King David should be quoted. And many were the jeremiads as to the al ternative evils which would befall the country. Those submitted to David were mild in comparison. Mr. Thorn ton, member for York city, said: "I did not believe that there was any set of men or, Indeed, any Individual of the human species so presumptuous and so abandoned as to make the pro posal we have just beard. I hold this subject to be totally subversive of the last remains of English liberty. The new bill will direct the im position of new taxes, and, indeed, the addition of a very few words will make It the most effectual engine of rapac ity aud oppression that was ever used against an injured people. More over, an annual register of our people will acquaint our enemies abroad with our weakness." Matthew Ridley, another opposing member, added that his constituents looked on the proposal as ominous aud feared lest some public misfortune or an epidemical distemper should fol low the numbering." However, the bill passed the commons, only to be promptly rejected by the lords. Not until 1800 was the proposal again made, and on this occasion It was brought to a successful issue.

The ancient Greeks and Romans practiced telegraphy with the help of pots filled with straw and twigs satu rated In oil, which, being placed in rows, expressed certain letters accord ing to the order In which they were lighted. But the only one of their con trivances that merits a detailed de scription was that Invented by a Gre cian general named ..Eneas, who flour ished In the time of Aristotle, Intended for communication between the gen era Is of an army. It consisted of two exactly similar earthen vessels tilled with water, each provided with a cock that would die charge an equal quantity of water iu a given time, so that the whole or any part ot the contents would escape In precisely the same period from both vessels. On the surface of each floated a piece of cork supporting an upright marked Into divisions, each division having l certain sentence inscribed upon ii. One of the vessels was placed at each station, and when either party desired to communicate be lighted a torcn, which he held aloft until the others did the same, aa a sign that be was all at tention. On the sender of the message lower ing or extinguishing bis torch each party immediately opened the cork of bis vessel and so left It until tne sena er relighted his torch, when It was at once closed. The receiver then read the sentence on the division of the upright that was level with the mouth ot the vessel and which. If everything bad been executed with exactness, corresponded with that of the sender and conveyed the desired Information. Spare Moments. Cblldr.a'a Answer.
