A SAN FRANCIsCo special says the
feeling engendered among the mer-
chants there by the withdrawal of the
Northern Pacific from the California
trade assumes a ludicrous turn. A
prominent firm that, prior to the
final pool, championed the interests
of that road, displays in a conspicuous
place a boulder in the shape of an
enormous egg, bearing the inscription
Northern Pacific pill; to be swal-
lowed by Californians. Sample OF
Muir gall" The statement that a
circular was addressed to the mer-
chants asking them to contract with
the Northern Pacific is denied.

In two weeks Congress meets. To
Congress the people of the Northwest
look for aid in improving the Co
lumbia river bar. The pre- sent sys-
tenn of freights is an onerOus tax on
the Oregon and Washington pro-
ducer. Freights run from ten to
twelve shillings higher here than in
San Francisco; there should be no
difference between San Francisco
and the Columbia. The $3.50 ol
$500 a ton extra paid to take wheat
from the Columbia exactly represents
the tax that the northwest producer
pay in the effort to make Portland 1
sea port. How long this shall con
tinue depends primarily upon on

IT would seem that after all there
is a good deal of economy IN the
wearing of a crown or a royal dia-
dem, or something of that sort, in
stead of the common, ordinary,
everyday head-gear that we usually
appear in. For instance, the car of
Russia wears a crown that was made
for some of his ancient kinfolk SIX
hundred years ago. or course, the
first cost of those things is consider
able. for diamonds come high, but
then when one takes into considera-
ton how long a good, well-made
crown will last, it certainly looks as
though it were cheaper to buy one
especially if il could be purchased al
bargain.

THE most important state matter
now demanding the attention of con-
gress is the improvement OF the bar
at the mouth of the Columbia river.
II is a work that requires consider
able expenditure. The necessity is
universally conceded. The board of
visiting engineers in their report set
forth what is believed to be the only
adequate means OF improvement
the building of a mole from Point
Adams In a northwesterly direction.
Dredging. or scratching is OF no avail
and has been abundantly proved. Our
congressional delegation owe it to
themselves. to the state they repre-
sent, and the commercial interests OF
the commonwealth 60 make this mat
ter one OF special showing on their
part. The completion of the North
d. ern Pacific railroad makes the i'm
provement of the bar more than eve
an imperative necessity.

 The old doctor slowly lifts himself, unkinks his stiffened joints, kicks his legs out to straighten out his trowsers, shuts his big ne-handled knife, hrushe: the shavings from his shiny clothes, and goes to the bedroom. The sick man slowly turns his head toward the door. way, smiles sadly, puts out his long, white, bony hand to him and whispers hoarsely:
 "Well, doctor ?" which is sick mans favorite form of asking how his doctor thinks he is getting along. The old doctor raises the blue paper curtain and slowly draws chair close to the bed.
 "Oh, you're looking ever so much better to-day. We'll have you out hoe ing potatoes in day or two.' Kind-hearted, warm old doctor!

An Orange Grower.

A letter ill the Boston Transcript says As luck would have it, during the war the Yankee found his way to Florida, saw the possibilities, and after | the war was over returned to Florida and set himself to work to solve the problem of making some money out of the wild orange groves. He cut all the trees in the sour groves that were not wanted, and budded the stock with sweet fruit, which plan proved a suc- cess, fruit appearing in from three to four years. He quickly perceived the value of this and other fruits which need tropical sun, and set the boom agoing that has already attained immense pro- portions and is increasing annually. The orange may be called the staple cultivated. Almost every enterprising planter has his grove, which is very tenderly cared for, as on this he expects to depend for good income when it gets into bearing. Many groves are owned by non-residents, merchants,
 clerks, and even by mechanics who can- not afford to spend all their time wait ing on an orange grove. Such persons hire their work done for small sum, especially where they have not enough money to go and do all they want to do, such as build a house, etc. The grove
 is cared for by some of the residents. The orange tree is a very prolific bearer, seldom having an off year. Fifteen thousand oranges have been picked from a single tree in one season. This is very extra, however. The prosperity which Florida is enjoying is due largely to the push and enterprise of the Yankee. We have said enough about the orange tree for the present. We can tell you much about other trees, and what they will do in Florida, such as the peach tree (which ripens its fruit in early May), also the La Conte pear, Japanese persimmon, strawberry, and other trees, grapes, figs, etc., but we fear we have already trespassed too much upon your valuable space, though you would be astonished if you knew how many there are who look eagerly for information on Florida. It has been our pleasure to already have posted many, and advised many to stay at at home, their funds being too small.

Too Nasty.

Yes, some people are too nasty. Nov @ wealthy Chicago family charged ser want girl with stealing diamond pin { year or two ago and the Court sentenced the culprit to three years in the Peniten tiary. But recently, in moving large plate-glass mirror, that diamond pin was found by Q workman and handed to the mistress of the house, who sat dowr and wrung her hands and cried, and asked: "What have I done?"
 Steps are being taken to release the prisoner, now that sorrow has put its lines on her face and bitterness has en. tered her soul. Yes, indeed, some peo, pie are too nasty.
