JusrrANo RoxAs, the California cen,
tenarian, who died at Santa Cruz in
that State some time ago, at the age
of I22 wears, had become almost hide
Gus to look upon, being very much
like living skeleton. His eyes were
sunk deep into their sockets, and his
hands had shrivelled and shrunken
away until they resembIed the claws
of a hawk. For many months pre-
yious TO his death the old man had
slept under hearth, keeping himself
warm by a wood fire, which was never
allowed to 90 out.

The amount of capital invested BY
Englishmen outside of their own king
dom amounts at present to nearly
81, ,250,0 100000. A great portion OF
this sum is not well secured, a great
portion of it being loaned TO nations
that have but little moral or material
responsibility. While We are COM
planning about lack of capital to de-
yelop our immense resources, the
wealthy English are seeking opportn.
mites to invest their spare money prof
;tably. and at the same time securely.

LOOK Our FOR Your LAMPs.-Not
unfrequently we hear distressing &C.
counts of kerosene lamp explosions.
Often precious lives are sacrificed and
property destroyed. Recently a Mrs.
Bradley, of Meridian, Conn.,, under
took to extinguish lamp at full
blaze by blowing down the chimney.
The lamp bursted, the woman was
frightfully burned, and her life only
saved by the presence of mind Of her
husband who instantly gathered up
some quilts and smothered the flames
which enveloped her. In all cases of
explosion the flames can at once be
smothered By the prompt use of
blankets or any heavy woolen goods
that happen to be handy. All that
is required is presence of mind, and III
a great majority of cases any severe
suffering or loss of life may be avoided.

New HALL.-A want Of this city that has
long been felt is hall for public meetings,
centrally located and easy of sooess. This
want is about to be met through the enter
prise Of Hon. Daniel Stewart, who is having
the " Bank Exchange Building" rsmodeled
and adapted to the purpose of public meet
ings, concerts, theatriclls, etc. An addition
Of 26-fest is being built on the present build
ing, giving a hall IS feet in depth. At the
rear there viii be a stage that can be used in
the case of exhibitions, and will likewise
answer the purpose of rostrum, from which
our Villsge orators can harrsngue their fel-
low citizens upon the " issues of the dsy."
The entrance will be from Main street. by
means of hall feet wide. There will also
be rear door through which in case of An
alarm the audience can pass out. Both the
entrances and exits being on the ground floor.
all risks of accidents in case of an alarm ara
avoided, and crowd, however large. can
pass ont almost in the twinkling of an eve.
With these advantages, and the fact that the
hall is removed from the sound Of roaring
water and other annoyances, it is quite Ger
tain that the new hall will be the favorite

mostly from the Willamette Valley, where
they have disposed of their claims to immi-

TIE UMATILT.A REsERVA TIoN.-The re-
spective parties in Oregon in forming their
platforms for the special Congressional cleo
ton, should take decided stand in relation
to opening the Umatilla Reservation. One
of the finest bodies of land on the Pacific
coast, embracing many thousands of acres
not required for Indian purposes, it is abso-
lutely shameful that white men should be
denied its use. The few remaining Indians can
very readily be distributed between the Sim
coe and Warm Springs Reservations. Or if
this be deemed impractical, they can be allot-
ted one-third the land they now hold, and
then they will have vastly more land than
they can use for a good purpose The idea
that the most desirable lands in the country
are TO be left barren in order that wild In
dians may rove over them in primeval soli-
tude is not to be tolerated, and we trust that
all parties when they meet in convention will
speak ont In condemnation of a policy that
pampers the Indian and denies the white man
an equal opportunity in the battle of life.

NUIsANcEs.-An exchange complains that
it is annoyed by the applications of sewing

have their advertisements inserted on the
basis of half cash and half trade. Just our
fix exactly. If we were to make record of
all the propositions we receive from sewing
machine companies, and other agencies per-
tanning to suggestions for advertising in this
paper, we would have to employ an extra
hand to attend TO that department of the
business. Once and for all, the STATESMAN
is not seeking that kind of business. We
want no organs, sewing machines, agricul-
tnral implements or any of the numerous
articles that manufacturers and agents are
trying to introduce 10 the public through
this process. All proposals looking TO cash
advertising will be respectfully considered.
No half cash and half trade" in ours.
We prefer them straight.
