Some Strange FactS.-Attention has
been recently called to some strange conci-
dence connected with the history Of the early
presidents Of the United States. Thomas
jefferson and John Adams both died on the
4th Of July, 1926 John Adams was eight
years Older than Thomas Jefferson; Thomas
Jefferson was eight years older than James
Msdson Madison was eight years older than
Monroe Monroe was eight years older than
John Quincy Adams. The first Eve of our
Presidents all ended their terms Of service in
the Goth year Of their age Washington was
born February 27d, l732, and inauguratod
l7S9. His term Of office expired in his Goth
year John Adams was born October 10th.
1888; was inaugurated in 1891; term of SER
vice expired in the 65th year Of his age.
Thomas Jefferson was born April 2lst, l74a;
WIS inaugurated in 1901 term Of service ex.
pred in bis Goth year James Madison was
born March 4th, 1851; inaugurated in 1909;
term ofseryice ended IN his 66th year. James
Monroe was born April 2lst, l75a. Inaugural
ted in 1918, term Of service expired in his
Goth year. So you viii see that many remar-
kable things mark the early history Of our
heroes

Caution The country is fun Of swindlers,
and the best rule is to give the cold shoulder
TO all strangers who claims to represent new
invention, for in nine cases out Of ten you are
liable to be victmized Deal with the mer-
chants aud business men of your own place,
they are alive to the wants Of their customers,
and are just as sharp in procuring the latest
inventions ofvalue as any travelling salesman.
And there is another valuable piece of advice
in the election Of the place to deal even At
home The merchant who is not afraid or
nshame to lst the public know what he has
so sell through thencwspapers, as rule, does
the largest trade, aud consequently has a
newer stock and better stock than he who
docs not advertise. Mr.. T Il. Farrall and

THE d. II. q N. co.

The last annual report of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Co. makes the
following statement
"This company is controlled by the
Oregon and TranscOntinenta Com
pany, which also controls the North
ern Pacific. That company has also
lately leased the Oregon & California
road, which it is extending to the Cal
ifornia line. The three companies are
therefore worked in one interest, and
practically under one management,
although their organizations and ac-
counts are distinct"
The capital account of the company
on the debtor side consists of stock,
sd 500, 2S3.39; bonds, S5.7eS, 900; scrip
certificates, 81, ,2O0,0 600; insurance and
renewal fund, S26S 932 A; bills acct's,
and balances, Sl,2S7, l79.S2; profit and
loss, 81, 1858, S55. 10; total, S32, SOS, ,25l.75
which is offset on the other side by
roads and other property valued at
S2S, ,353, S4S.6 IS, and other funds, bal
ances and cash to the total amount OF
S32, sos, 25l.75. During the year the
issue of $4,000 900 new stock was made,
and was all taken by the stockholders
ut par. The amount paid by the sub
scribers to the close of the year was
$500, 2S3. When all the subscrip-
tions have been paid up the amount
of full paid stock will be S24,OO0,00C
in all
The earnings and expenses of the
company's lines show total earnings
TO be SIS, l00,5l3; expenses, S2,624, 1866
net earnings, S2,476,3i7. The Puget
! Sound division shows earnings OF

| During the past year the road of the
Columbia river was strongly riprappec
for distance of POI, $40 lineal feet, be-
tween Portland antk Wallula. The
line was also considerably improved
by the reduction of heavy curvatures
and the substitution of steel instead
of iron rails for distance of 81 miles
For the various betterments 500, 30
was expended.
The Gem pletion of the Northern Pa
| cific and the connection soon to bt
made with the Union Pacific's Oregon
short Line, are expected to max,
great changes in the company's busi-
ness.
The agreement made with the Union
Pacific by this company, to do al
the Oregon business for that road, re-
quires the building of fifty miles addi-
tional on the Baker City branch.
This extension and the necessity OF
reducing the grades on the Mountain
division will add 81, 100000 to the cost
of the line.
Construction requirements for the
current year are about S4,2l4, 200, OF
which S3,3l4,000 are provided for. No
plan for providing the remaining
$500, 600 is presented, as it will not be
needed for nearly a year yet.
