The fact that Professor Chas. E Tripler has succeeded at last in ..solving the problem of applying liquid air as a motive power and as a refrigerativc agent is only another -proof! that the trine of marvelous inventions is not past. I-jquid air is- now .manufactured in. such quantities and so cheaply as to effect a saving of over one-half the cost of . refrigeration by other processes ami of the operatioh of machinery, while its medicinal and surgical value is destined to make it one of the g-ent-est boons to humanity yet discovered. It is considered a cure for cancer and many -other S such growths in their early stases. .hi!e foTj purifyiinfr the air of hospitals ajwl for rcducinfj the tem perature of ?cver patients, a tut as a 'sub stitute ' for cauterizing agents, it is of inestimable value, and solves many of the pcrnlexinc ouestions of the treat ment of some of tliej most hallling and insidious, of. diseases. What the future developTWents iof this wonderful discovery will be it is impossible to foretell. Certain it is tliat it will bring atwut a revolution injthc titanufacturing world. possibly greater than that wrought by tlie discovery of electricity or steatn, because of its application to so many different industries and sci ences.' And, unlike! the experience of iiost inventorsit is gratifying to know that the discovr9cr of liquid air will reap a very I 'JHrgc reward frotii its practical ue since he is the president and largest stockholder of the company which controls the patents.

"One of the differences between the East and the Northwest," said' a Puget Sounder, "is the names off places, anJ the Skikomishes. the Snohomishes, the Enoqualmie's, the Wahkiakuras, and the lot of them give a man funny ftel ings, and w&en he runs across liucoda, on the Northern Pacific railroad in Pierce county, Washington, he doesn't know whether it is Chinook or Sivash, or what. But it is none of them; like Kenova. in West Virginia, which is near the junction of Kentucky, Ohio, and Virginia, or Delmar, where Dela ware and Maryland conie together, PiU coda is a composite name, and its glo ry is simple enough. When the North ern Pacific came in, a town sprang up, and it must have a name. There were Indian names in plenty, but something more novel was wanted, so Messrs. Buckley, Coulter, and Davis, all N. P. officials, put their heads together first, and their names later, and the name Ilu-co-da was evolved, with an etymol ogy very apparent to any one who is at all informed in terminology.

(From Daily, March 3d.) On February 21st the Statesman pub lished an article, showing the antics of one "Judge" George i Hayford, who. representing himself as a former inmate of the Oregon penitentiary, sent there by himself for contempt of court, pro posed publishing a book to show , the abuses and cruelties practiced in the prison by the officers. The Statesman at that time quoted an editorial from the Denver Evening Post, which, com mended Judge (?) Hayfcfrd for bis ef forts in behalf of helpless prisoners etc. etc. At that time this newspaper also gave the facts regarding the crime for which Ha) ford was sent to prison ob taining money under false pretenses and his prison history. ; Up to this time the Oregon penitentiary officials have smiled at the queer antics of Hayford, but a letter, received by Supt. J. D. Lee yesterday, from F. H. Benjamin, city editor of the Times, of Billings, Mon tana, shows the viciousnes pi-the ex prisoner. 'Mr. Benjamin, who evident ly took very little stock in the asser tions and allegations tof the self-confessed convict, writes to Supt. Lee, as follows; 1 "About one month ago a man. by the name of Hon. (?) George Hayford, delivered two Jectures in tfij town on the cruelties and inhuman treatment, of the inmates of your state' penitentiary, by the prison officials. I layT&rd claimed to have been an inmate of the state prison, through the connivance of the judge, and was an inmate only tjo get on to the 'damnable system practiced' by your officials. Annong the crimes you arc. accused by; Mr. Hayford of murder. I am convinced this man is an impostor if not an actual .criminal. Can you inform me if he ever was an inmate of your state penitentiary, and, if so, give me particulars of crime he committed? By so doing you will only do justice to your, state and confer a great favOr on us." The prison officials yesterday secured a copy of the Statesman, containing a fu'l account of the' fellow's acts and his pris story. and will forward "the same to the Billings" editor today. Supt. J. D. Lee . has been urged to prosecute Hayford on a charge of crim inal libel, proceeding against him in the United States court, ijut as Mr. Lee is not revengeful, and as .it is believed that his rantings of a self-styled ex convict will have very little effect ob the public and wiU not injure the state in the minds of honest (people, it is probable that no steps will be taken at present. "Judge" Hayford, however, i i treading on- dangerous ground, and, unless he desists, may suddenly be brought up with a round turn. Hayford came to Portland from Cali fornia in 1808, where he representcl himself to "be an attorney, -and soon, by his-suave manner and evident JcowIcIkc of law, gained the corufidence of several members of the legal profession, whom he impressed with the idea -that he had? large property Holdings. lie linally determined to fit up an office, in tlie Chamber of Commerce building, and purchased furniture, office fixtures and other goods on the installment plan. He also secured money from various people on different pretexts, until his creditors began to investigate him. when he disappeared. Detective Ford secured the fellow's arrest in St. Paul, and returned him to Portland for trial, iosing his prisoner once on the way home. Hayford making a sensational escape from his captor. When Hay ford was brought to Portland he was indicted on eight counts for obtaining money under false pretenses, was con: vicf ed and sentenced to the penitentiary for one year on each count. ,thc sen tences to run concurrently. The man was, received at the prison January. 18. 1809, and remained just 10 months and 22 days, leaving on December 10, 1809, after serving his "time less merit time gained by good conduct during the last portion of the term. With the record the fellow Iras, and the recklessness of his statements, it is likely he will, ere long, again be in the toils of the law, and the billings Times may soon have occasion to write up the fellow as a Montana convict WAS VOLUNTARILY IMMEHSID. A Convalescent Patient From the In sane Asylum Leaps xInto Mill Creek, But Is. Recovered. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a convalescent male patient from the Oregon hospital for the insane, leaped from the bridge across Mill creek ort East State street, at Epp'cy's grocery, into. the chilling waters of that stream. As is customary, several of the at? tendants had a company of harmless patients o?t fos exercise. When the bridge referred to was i reached, the crowd stopped for a short rest. Sud denly aftd before he coulcj be intercept ed, a middle-aged patient vaulted over the railing into the cold stream some fiteen feet below. He had no sooner reached the water than he began t--n-t;c efforts to reach the;1 ban' ;f ihe stream. He was promptly assisted and was 'dragged out of the stream, pretty thoroughly soaked and more sane than he was before making the" leap. He was uninjured in any way. PECULIAR AND PERTINENT.

Hew Register. t (From Daily, -March 3d.) 5 ?Under dale of March 1st Prof. J. 1L Ackerman. -superintendent of public in struction, has issued a circular letter to the county superintendent's throughocut the state. . It is circular fetter No. 10. and deals with the salaries of school district clerks, being, to a certain ex tent.; art explanation of circular letter No. 9, treating on the same subject, and issued by the department several weekj ago. Thetext of the letter follows: "According to circular letter. No. 0, school derks are not sallowed to use any of the common school fund for sal aries." This decision was given in or der to give you a working basis to dis allow the exorbitant salaries to school clerks-which has-been, the practice, in some districts, in the past. lfowever. L would suggest that it might be as well to allow school clerks c nominal sum for ttheir salaries; enough, at least, to cover the ordinary expenses, fuch as -postage, stationary, etc.. and perhaps a small sum for their services.

A. . Johnson, charged with the crime of larceny,: He pleaded not guilty and his trial was set for 10 a. m.. next Wednesday, when he will be defended by John A. Carson. Craft was released on $1000 bonds, which were furnished by M: L Hamilton and John Craft, his brother. ' In the complaint. Craft is charged with the crime of larceny, the specific offense being the driving away of a herd of twenty-three goats, 'the prop erty of Geo.' S. Downing, in the month of November, 1809. The defendant and his brother have for many years been engaged in the cattle business near Scio and it is reported that this, is not the first time the men have been charged with appropriating to them selves stock belonging to others.
