cases brought against the Central Pacific Rail-
way Company by several counties the Court
rendered decision yesterday that under the
new State Constitution the railroad companies
shall only be taxed on the value of their prop
erty after deducting the amount for which
they are mortgaged. The cases have attracted
much attention, both as regards the interpre-
tation of the law on this point, as also on the
large amount involved. In another case, IN

A Modern Fable Concerning Game.

Everything is done on large scale
in the boundless West, and the Port
land Oregonian only keeps pace with
the progress of that section by record
ing the following true yarn:
There is literally no end to the fish
ing in Oregon. And as for hunting
Well, in some sections the farmers
have to run cords around their grain
fields and hang bells thereon to scare
the deer away, and in the Coast Range
are huge herds of elk, and in Eastern
Oregon are slathers of antelope and
mule dec. and if one can't find deer
he can always find mule. Why, up
on the headwaters of the Santiam
there is little valley almost sur
rounded by inaccessible mountains.
The cougars of that section have for
years herded deer in that place, one or
two keeping watch at the mouth to
prevent the deer from escaping.
Whenever a cougar of the band gets
hungry he walks into the valley like a
butcher into a corral, and picks out the
fattest deer he sees, and dimes off his
carcass. When the herd of deer grows
small the cougars hold "rodeo" and
collect a few score more and drive
them into the valley. Now, all man
has to do is to kill off the cougars and
then go for the deer, and there is just
fun alive.

A Lake Under a Mountain.

A few days since w. n. Gates and
w. S. Lathrop, of the Western and At
lantic railroad, conceived the idea Of
exploring a cave in Lookout mountain,
the entrance of which is near the rivers
edge at the foot of the point. Crawl.
ing through a small, muddy aperture
they found themselves in large
chamber, the walls being fully thirty
feet high. Proceeding some distance
they were surprised to find themselves
in full view of a beautiful lake. They
describe it as being about half mile
in length and quarter of mile wide.
The water is as clear as crystal.
They state they heard a roaring noise
in the distance, which they are conf
dent is caused by waterfall. -.Cha

The Steel Pen Trade.

The steel pen in the many types in
which it is northumberland there
are more than 900 different numbers
is a signal instance of triumph of
mechanical skill in combining and
varying the qualities of the implement,
involving extreme niceties of dis
tinctionS to an extent that few other
industrial arts demand. Our entire
annual trade in steel pens, domestic
and imported. may be placed at
$l,500,00o, and is a steadily progressive
one. The larger proportion oil those
sold are American pens. 1t is matter
of difficulty to as ertain the relative
amounts disposed of in different sec
tons cf the country, pens being mainly
distributed by large wholesale houses
who make shipments from the East.
The chief retailers of pens throughout
the country are in the stationery, pub
fishing, notions, dry goods and hard
ware trades. Our own manufacturers
are reticent a. to their annual pro-
duction. but taking the ascertained
output Ct Birmingham, which supplies
between 100000 and 100000
pens per week, with that of the few
manufactures in France, the one in
Germany and the one in Austria, there
being none in the other European
states, and the leading American es-
Establishments, in Meriden, Conn.,, Cam
den, n. j., and in Philadelphia, the
weekly production for this country
and Europe cannot be less than from
22,Oc0,O00 to 100000 pens.

Save the Seed Corn.

kait0r Tribuae.'- Permit me TO
call the attention of your farmer
readers 70 the importance Of saving
plenty Of seed corn.
Wisconsin will need for next
springs planting 10000 bushels;
there is scarcely bushel of old
seed corn in the State, and thous-
ands Of farmers will have NC sound
corn by reason Of the frost. Those
so unfortunate should lose no time,
but should select from the fields of
their more fortunate neighbors good
seed at once. Those having sound
corn Of good variety should save
for others besides themselves. All
seed corn 70 be safe must be dried
by fire heat for two or three weeks
and then stored in a dry, airy place.
We have enough already of Nebras-
ka corn; let there be no lack next
May of good, home-groWn seed.
