A VIRGINIA paper says that many
years ago there lived in Albemarie Co.
an old gentleman named Shumate, whose
antipathy to cats was so great that he
made it his business to kill every one
that he could find. At bis death cats
collected to the number of five hundred
and attended the funeral in procession.
and afterward quietly dispersed to their
homes, where they spent the remainder
of their lives in peace, their great
enemy being dead. This remarkable
circumstances is still remembered BY
some Of our oldest citizens.

VALUE Of the NORrH PACIFIC
COAST.


We are asked, "What do Oregon and
Washington Territory produce? What
is the basis of their boasted wealth and
anticipated greatness?" At present their
almost inexhaustible lumber interests
are material element of industry and
commerce; there is no finer or better
from the dense and immense forests Of

her exported from Puget Sound alone
approximates $4,000, 600 annually. The
fsh interest is also one Of great proper
tions on the Columbia River and Puget
Sound and all their tributaries. In 1882
the trade in the one article OF canned
salmon in the Columbia River district
alone amouated TO an aggregate OF $2,-
7S2,000 Tho mining Of coal, iron and
the precious minerals is great and as
yet very imperfectly developed source Of
business activity and wealth. Stock
raising IS carried ON there extensively
and profi.ably. The wool clip Of Ore
gon and Washington Territory in 1881
amounted to total Of 5000, 600 pounds.
Manufacturing interests are rapidly de-
veioping. 1t is also good grain raising
region, having produced 10000, 900 BUSH
els Of wheat i. 1882. Oats, rye, barley,
hops and fax are nnong the staples, and
all kinds Of fruits and vegetables are
SUCCESSFULLY cultivated. We saw some
of the finest apples, pears, peaches and
plums in Portland and Seattle that our
eyes ever rested upon. The climats vest
Of the Cascades u never extremely cold,
and is therefore favorable for fruit
growing and stock raising. As an in
dication OF the resources Of Oregon, We
may mention the fact that during last
year the export trade of the city OF
Portland reached an aggregate of 412,-

the SAMPLE cory PlEND.

Recently it seems to us AZ though q
large number of people throughout this
country have nothing to do but write
postal cards to newspaper publishers,
asking for sample copy of their paper.
This is new and growing industry. Il
costs only one cent to get q sample copy,
and at that rate the average bore of this
denomination expects to get 80 weekly
ono yeas for 81 cents. or course the sam
pie copy free lunch fiend has to write each
week and sign different name, but that
don't injure his feelings any. He has
nothing else to do, and it drives away
ennui. Perhaps these people think we
are publishing paper just to wear
out our young life; but that is where
they fall into common error. We are
trying to acquire competence, SO that
wefan carry summer cane with our
monogram on it, and that is why we
ask for things sometimes when it seems
unladylike and eccentric.
The maa who gets his literature by
sponginR sample copies is generally
man who obtains precarious livelihood
by posing as an artists model of y wild
eye snide. People who enclose stamps
will be waited upon just as soon as the
mailing brigade can catch up little;
but those who enclose chunk of taffy
in postal card and look for this price
less repository of electrotyped brain,
will anxiously watch through the Rloam-
ing till a late hour-bus they will wait
in vain. FILL NYE.

GREAT MONTANA.
JSt. Paul Pioneer Press

FoRT BENTON, Oct. 3.-My residence
in Montana, for about five years, salts
fies me that it possesses greater re-
sources than any other Of the Western
States or Territories, and that these re-
sources will soon draw to il a tide Of
immigration as remarkable as that
which flowed into Kansas eight or ten
years. ago. The wealth of Montana ia
by no means confined TO its Mineral re-
sources and its unequalled advantages
for raising stock Of all kinds. 1t is fast
assuming prominence as an agricultural
country. The day is not far distant
when the wheat product of Montana
will surpass that Of Minnesota. The
past two years have demonstrated that
there are vast areas of land here that
will produce large yields of wheat 10 the
acre, without irrigation. These rich
lands do not lie IN the valleys, but upon
tables or plateaus. Montana is not and
never will be one crop country. The
yearly harvest will embrace gold, silver,
copper, lead, iron, cattle, sheep, horses,
wool, wheat. oats. barley, butter and
cheese. ! prophesy that sometis,e be-
fore the expiration of this century,
Hontana's annual product will be val.

Denver Dispateh to'Me Chicago 7ribun,

Denver DtSpdch 70 We ChicdgO IftOuNe.
Quite sensation was created in Denver by
the bringing to light the fact that Lieut.. Gov.
II. A.W. Tabor, the Colorado millionaire, did,
in January last, apply to the county court
of La Plata county for divorce from his
wife. He appeared in person and conducted
his own suit The county seat Of La Plata
county is 360 miles from Denver, and none of
the parti es interested live there. An officer
was sent to Denver to get personal service on
Mrs. Tabor and swOre that he got it. On
March "a the court granted n divorce and no
one here knew of IL until the middle of Sep
tember. Mrs. Tabor says she will make oath
that no such service was ever had. The bill
has been taken from the court and is not to be
had. The pages on the record where the
decree was entered are pasted together to avoid
publicity. The decree will he resisted by Mrs.
Tabor on the ground of fraud. If not annuled
without suit, IL is not believed Tabor will un-
dertake to defend the decree If Mrs. Tabor
makes fight She brought suit in this city
for alimony but no divorce, so tho court
ruled in her favor and she is slikely % succeed.
No publication Of the facts has been made
here, but tho papers know Of Tabors transac-
ton. The parties have beeu married for
twenty-five years, and lived pleasantly to-
gether until the last three years, Gov. Tabor
is q prominent candidate for tho United
States senate with some hopes Of election.
