two hours of systematic reading be-
fore breakfast, for six months of the
year, and he will find that he has
acquired in that time knowledge
which he would not part with for
any price. Something, a cup of
coffee, for instance, or a piece Of
bread and butter, should always be
taken before beginning to read;

in winter, and study or read before
breakfast, and you viii not wish to

That irksome custom. the "series
of resolutions" following upon a
death, is thus assailed by the Balti-
more american:
"There is not a lawyer, or a doc
tor, or a tradesman, or an actor, or
an ofiice-holder, who has passed
away, but whose death is followed
by series of resolutions which real
ly mean nothing at all; and which
in many cases are a mere mockery
on the lives of those in whose honor
they have been prepared The old
proverb, "Speak nothing but good
of the dead" is kindly one, and
the silence of the tomb is generally
sufficient to hush the voice of SLAM
der and make men charitable and
forgiving. But it is no less fraud to
cover pages of foolscap with un-
meaning resolutions which stand out
in sharp contrast with the character
of the subjects, and which serve only
to feed the vanity of the living and
do honor to the memory of the
dead"

The figures given above are based
upon actual transactions during the
season of 1876. The item of cost of
logs ID mill booms includes 50 per
thousand feet stumpage for white
pine, and 75c per thousand for Nor
way; and the lands from which the
logs were cut cost the owners all the
way from SO to $27 so per acre,
probably averaging $40 per acre
four years ago, or say at least 81
per thousand stumpage. If we were
to figure in taxes and interest it
would cost nearly So stumpage. The
lumber sold at an average of SO SO
per thousand, netting the producers
loss of l2c per thousand, without
counting in cent for personal SER
vices and figuring interest at the
minimum rate of 7 per cent.

The Late Legislature.

The Olympia Standard says that,
"There is not a single newspaper in
the Territory that has had a word to
say in defense of the late Legislature.
They appear to think that body of
men who could be run by one horse
Governor are entirely beyond redemp-
ton" This is not deserved. There
was never a body of better average in
telligence brought together than the
Lower House; and all it wanted was
the proper kind of man for presid-
ing officer. The choice fell upon a
man who knew nothing of legislation,
nor could he learn anything. There
were men of ability on both sides whose
merits were overlooked in the desire
to have a Speaker whose election would
give otfense to nobody; and as a nat
ural consequence his election was soon
a source of of1ense to everybody. The
Governor did not run the Council, nor
did he attempt to, that we could see;
nor could any man have run the House,
if it had elected competent person
for Speaker, in the first place.-Seattle
Imtclyigence,.
Nor did the Governor run the House
or attempt to, that we could see. If
any other man Or set of men claim, or
it is claimed for chem that they run the
House, we pronounce it equally untrue.

Silver.

Stanley Mathews resolution on sill
yer, foreshadows the action of the U.
S. Senate on the silver question. The
following is the essential portion of
the resolutions:
'That all bonds of the United States
issued or authorized to be issued under
said acts of congress hereinbefore are
payable, principal and interest, at the
option of the government of the United
States in silver dollars of the coinage
of the United States, containing 4l2J
grains each of standard silver, and that
to restore to it's coinage such silver
coins as a legal tender in payment of
said bonds, principal and interest, is
not in violation of public faith nor in
derogation of the rights of creditors"
There is every prospect that this res
olution will pass and thereafter the
Bland silver bill, providing for the
demonstration of silver ard the issu-
ing of stand silver dollar will
speedily become the law. The Presi-
dent will doubtless veto the measure,
but there is thought 20 be two-thirds
vote in readiness to pass the bill rot
outstanding. Viewing it from a po-
litical standpoint, the bill is essentially
a Democratic measure. But few con-
gressmen of that party are found on
the side of the opposition. The most
notable Democratic opponent is Ker-
nan of New York. A majority Of the
Republicans are opposed to the bill.
The leading papers of the country are
divided in their opinions on the subject,
some of them taking the ground that
it is a just and wise action, and others
that it is not only unwise, but unjust
to the na;ion's creditors and fraud
on general principles, and in this latter
opinion we concur.

Railroad in Eastern Oregon.

tails of meeting held at Pendleton
recently, to consider proposition to
build railroad from Weston BY way
OF Pendleton and the meadows 10 the
Columbia river. \ lively interest
was manifested in the project. \
committee was appointed to prepare
articles oiincorporAlion and the meet
ing adjourned to assemble again next
Saturday. The line OF country over
which it is proposed to build is, in
the opinion OF an eminent civil en-
gineer, the best country in the world
for railroading. The road once built
will in a short time become quite as
valuable an investment of capital as is
the Walla Walla Railroad. Thus the
car of progress moves on in eastern
Oregon and Washington.
