Salem People Who Have Birds and Animals
. that Show Great Intelligence "
It was the idek of the Aneients and
it held by .thousands of the natives of
India today that the soul passes through
every phase of experience before it
becomes humanized. This of course is
not widely different from the .Iluxley
and Darwinian theories, ' but unlike
them the East Indians believe in, retro
gression to the extent that when any
. member of the tribe deteriorates': in
morals his punishment is supposed to be
rebirth in some bird or animal form.
Bidieulous as this belief appears to
the .Western mind, one can not help be
ing reminded of it upon noting remark
able instances of the evidence of hu
man intelligence in birds and animals.
A Bemaxkable Bird.
In Interviewing the parrot of Mrs.
JW. R. Anderson of this city one feels
that he speaks to an imprisoned human
soul, struggling for expression. "Polly "
is twelve years old and has never been
professionally trained, nor does she
need to have a sentence drammed into
her ears repeatedly before she will add
it to her vocabulary. Indeed, anything
that strikes Iter fancy is spoken by her
without urging, so that her command
of the English language is practically
unlimited, but what places her above
every other bird of her class is the fact
. that she can sing. All of the popular
airs piped by children on the streets are
quickly , learned and sung by this re
markable bird. he calls every mem
ber of the family by their names, pre
ferring for some reason to address Mrs.
- Anderson as "Grandma." The dog
"Kover' is liable to be called from his
-. slumbers at any time by Polly, who ap
pareatly take delight in calling,
"Here Bover, Here Bover," and when
Hover does not respond she whistles
long and loudly. ' i
From the children she has learned
that little rigamarole, "Bushel of
wheat, bushel of rye, all taint ready,
holler I!" Polly adds a little variety
to the effect by occasionally changing
"bushel of rye" to "bushel of holler
I." She can spell her name, and say
''Tootsy so distinctly that the cat,
which bears this euphonious title,-comes
as readily as at the call of her mistress.
A maple tree at the baek of her home
is a favorite spot with her, and she
makes a verbal request to be taken to
the tree each morning.
The Teuton's Dog and Horse.
'A few miles baek in the country from
a town not far from Salem lives a
Dutchman who has not long been away
from the fatherland, and who still re
tains his appetite for the liquid that
"made Milwaukee famous," despite
the fact that thist taste frequently in
capacitates him from returning home
within twenty-feur hours after visiting
town. He has a little dog that shares
honors with his horse in knowing more
than the owner, for air soon as the little
dog grows ' weary of waiting for his
matter be leap inVt the saddle, takes
the reins in his mouth, and starts for
home., The horse Understands the situ
ation as perfectly as the dog does, and

taehmeat for each other is worthy, of
notice.. Not long since a stray dog
came into the lot where the cow was
kept, and began barking and biting at
her heels. The dog belonging to Mr.
Lampkin was tied on the opposite side
of the yard, but the cow made her way
to him, in order that his barking might
drive away the stray dog. -tV
Tom Beynold's Teddy.
. Mr. Thomas Keynolds, of the Wells
Fargo Express office ia this city, owns a
remarkable three-year-old bull dog an
swering to the name of "Teddy," and
like the illustrious -man from whom
"Teddy" derived his name, he is ;
pronouneed case of "stiek-to-it-ive-ness,''
and when given a good grip
epon a bit of rubber or something in
which he can imbed his teeth, he can
be swung round and round in mid air,

Whistles for Her Cat.
Mrs. W. C. Tillson has until lately
been the owner of a very clever eat.
Upon kitty's arrival a the household it
was agreed by the family to treat her
"like a dog," which in thi case meant
whistling to her instead of addressing
her with the feline appellation of
"Pussy." She soon learned to respond
and never heeded the comuion cat calL
She was raised upon a bottle, which
gave her rather elevated views of life,
And she never for a moment descended
to any eat-like manners, even when
sleeping, lying upon her back ad fold
ing her "hands.''
i Cat Eats Baw Vegetables.
Another cat belbngin- to Mrs; E. A.
Matthes, living at Lake .Labish, has
made itself famous by its preference
for raw vegetables to any other food,
and by the cunning way in which it
carries some woolen cloth ' to a quiet
corner and makes for itself a nursing
bottle, supplying in its imagination all
of the nutrition it was deprived of in
its kittenhood. 1
: Damon's Educated Hoss.' - -A
horse belonging to Mr. Damon, the
veteran expressman of this city, de
serves mention of its intelligence. It
may truly be said to make, its daily
trips to the train without guidance, for
Mr. Damon rarely holds the lines even
when the horse backs up to the depot
for baggage. When he. is left standing
upon the street and feels the need of a
little liquid refreshment he goes to the
watering tank near Bush's bank and
after drinking returns to the spot where
his master left him. . ". .

right of way can not only be obtained
free, but liberal contributions can be
secured by those residents along the
route who will be most benefited. This
road can be extended mile by mile, as
needed, up the little north fork, into
the finest body of timber on earth, un
til, if necessary, the Cascade summit is
reached, creating a lumber and wood
interest which will employ an army of
workmen and make Salem the greatest
lumber depot in the country. There are
also several valuable mines of demon
strated richness, and inexhaustible in
extent, within easy reach of this road.
It is beginning to be understood that
this region is destined to become a
veritable bee hive of industry which
will last for two or three generations.

CAMP NISQUALLY, Wash July
15. Friday was spent very quietly by
the Oregon troops ; in camp, resting
from their labors and preparing for the
final maneuvers of the week. The reg
iment was under orders to move nt 6
o'clock this morning, but the drizzling
rain continued, and the many recruits
of the regiment were appalled at the
prospect of marching through heavy
underbrush and maneuvering in such
weather. Just before falling in, Colonel
Huston, commanding the brigade, re
versed the- orders and the men had
nothing to do- but make themselves
comfortable as best they could. Before
many hours Old Sol broke through the
clouds and almost in the twinkling of
an eye the gloom was dispelled and the
Third Jnxautry was reauy ior acuon.
Many of the older soldiers scoffed at
the "rookies" and longea ior tne neia
which rather overawed the youngsters,
and iheir murmurs were in an under
tone. Had not the orders been revok
ed because the men were unprepared
for stormy weather, the regiment would
have turned out almost to a man.
! At 9 o'clock Company M fell in and
posed for a picture wearing fhe fighting
uniform of blue shirts and brown trous
ers. Afterward Captain Murphy warm
ed them with' a short skirmish drill.
In the afternoon Major Baker drilled
his battalion for an hour in battle ior
mations and storming intrenched posi
tions. and the several companies march
ed to headquarters in the order of rank
for an interview with .Major Keese, tne
regular army paymaster. As luck
would have it. small change ran out
just as Company M, which ranks sev
enth in the regiment, was called, and
the men are still without an over-sup
ply of money. The remaining eompan
les will be paid tomorrow afternoon.
Vomorrow morning at 6:30 o'clock
the regiment will march to' join the
forces of the "Blues" in the First
Brigade and battle . against their for
mer allies. The Blues have so far been
unable to gain but one victory out of
four engagements, and have called for
reinforcements. The jnen will carry
one third rations each, and sixty round
of ammunition per man.
Last night the great social function
of the encampment was held. As pre
viously announced, the line officers of
the Oregon regiment . entertained the
field and staff, and also all other offie
ers of the Second Brigade, including
the Tenth TJ. S. . Infantry, the Second
Idahos, the Battery of Artillery, bignal
Corps, ITospital and brigade field and
staff. Over 100. brilliantly uniformed
officers were present, and it is seldom
that a more jolly crowd'-of- men meet
under one shelter. -Large awnings were
erected near headquarters surrounded
by a mass of f 11 boughs. Within, num
erous Candles "and lanterns lighted the
scene. At one end an immense bonfire
added a glow of warmthV The military
band of the Tffnth U. : S. Infantry was
in attendaneeaud played splendid luus
ie throughout the evening. Many of
the old patriotic airs stirred the pat
riotism in the breasts of -the soldien
and cheer after- eheeF was lustily giv
en. Numerous tables were scattered
under the awnings, where refreshments
suited to th "ranous tastes of the or
fieers were served. Chaplain Gilbert
was present, the center of a jolly group,
and presiding over the lemonade punch
bowl. Caotains Murphy and Samuel
While and Major C. E. McDonnell were
mdving spirits, leading the singing and
telling side-splitting stories. Before
nartin? jousing cheers were given fur
every organ iat ion represented and near
lv' every officer of prominence present,
Finally for fear" some would be slighted
three lusty cheers were given "for us
all." s . .. :
General Summers of Portland, com
mander of the famous Second Oregon
was a prominent figure and added to
the gaiety by recounting his thrilling
experiences in thThilippines, and pro
posing "numerotts toasts.- Before parting
the officers of the' numerous organlza
tions ( cheered nstily for Oregon an
heartily thanked the officers for their

and are gainiacr a few hours of much

j Kot First Discovery.
It is bow known that oil has beea seen
cropping out at a number of places in
the Howell Prairie district. At the
McAllister dam, a mile east of Pratum,
oil has been known to exist for a long
time, often being seen on the water
flowing from a spring there. "Mr. llor
ace Herren and his brother were visit
ors at Mr. Graham's office and In talk
ing with the writer yesterday they
said tney had of tea seen this oil crop
ping ont at the spring mentioned. They
never thought of it indicating any
thing, however, until the Statesman
mentioned the discovery at Pratum.
A number of gentlemen who knew
of the oily indications" in " these
neighborhood say fhy never, thought
anything of it. In the matter of the
indications at Pratum, the old well
was abandoned some months go ( be
cause the water became unfit to use.

water a couple; or three months ago,
decided be would try the old weil. and
