FALL ~ PRICES.

In the early days Of Michigan, when
one dealer was the source of supply for
large territory, a capitalist from the
East suddenly bought up all the tobacco
and whisky to be had in the State. There
was no railroad communication; it was
winter, and there was no navigation, and
everything promised big profit on the
speculation. Prices began to creep up,
and settlers to inquire and protest, and
the capitalist was rubbing his hands and
holding on, when something happened

Long Sleeps.

AL animals have their time for Sleep
ing. We sleep at night; so do most of
the insects and birds. But there are
some little creatures that take such
very long sleeps! When they are all
through their summer work they crawl
into winter quarters. There they stay
until the cold weather is over. LARGE
numbers of frogs, bats, flies and spiders
do this. If they were only to sleep for
the night the blood would keep moving
in their veins and they would breathe.
But in this winter sleep they do not APP
pear to breathe or the blood to move.
Yet they are alive, only in such a ''dead
sleep" But wait until the spring-time.
The warm sun will wake them all up
again. They will come out one by one
from their hiding places.
have told you that this sleep lasts
all winter But it often lasts much
longer than that. Frogs have been
known to sleep several years! When
they were brought into the warm air
they came to life and hoped about as
lively as ever.

in the middle of tree fast asleep. No
one knew how he came there. The tree

Inside a Whale.

AS will be remembered by our read
ers, the carcass of whale came ashore
nearly three weeks ago on the beach
south of the entrance to Shoalwater
Bay. A great many soiourners at the
shore visited it, and many We're the
theories as to what caused the death of
the monster BY the arrival of the
Umatilla yesterday solution of the
problem has been found. Captain
Worth states that three days before the
whale came ashore the Umatilla was off
Gray's Harbor, on her way to the
Sound. A pilot boat coming near, he
hailed to know if they had a late paper
on board. The boat ranged up along
side and threw copy Of the OregOnian
on board the Umatilla. Giving
the officer on duty directions
in regard to the course, etc, Cap
tain Worth went to his cabin, and,
after glancing through the shipping in
telligence, was perusing with much in
terest the local column, when he felt q
violent shock, followed by something
striking the ship tremendous blow on
the side forward. He rushed on deck
and asked what was the matter, and
was informed that whale had broken
water just in front of the ship and had
been struck by the bow, whereupon he
kicked back, striking the ship with his
tail and making everything on board
rattle. The huge monster disappeared,
leaving the surface of the ocean tinged
with blood. Three days after the dead
carcass tloated ashore. In this con-
nection it is proper to state that a gen
tleman who came up from the shore
Yesterday says the whale is now nearly
covered with sand, and is rapidly de-
cayIng. One of the party who visited
it a few days ago climbed up on the
carcass, and while delivering an ami
mated speech suddenly dropped into
the interior of the monster, He scram-
bled out, soaked with decaying blubber
and said he would rather make an en-
trance as Jonah did and take chances
on being digested than to repeat his ex-
perience. Portland Oregonfdn.
