of such q bureau. Mr.. Osmer stated that be bad

Cleveland a few months ago, and that IL was de-
cided to urge the present Congress to take some
action in regard to the desired legislation A
considerable sum of money was contributed oy

surveying, after which the present drainage
laws were discussed by the members OF the as
ISOLATION. 1t was the general expression that
the present laws were very deficient, and 1t was
agreed to take some action toward having them
revised at the coming session of the Legislature.
1t was the sense OF the association that the laws
of 1881 and 1883 were the best the State ever
had and should never have been repealed.
The evening session was held in the Circuit
Court room. The main discussion was on

Prof. John Collets was called upon to give his
views concerning natural gas, and also regard
ing the find of silver in Dubois county. He
outlined the usually accepted theory as to the
former, and gave it as his opinion that. while
the theory is against the existence of silver In
Dubois, it is possible that it may be found in
paying quantities. since it has in iother regions
been found in similar sandstone.

TIMES CHANGES

The days are getting longer, and so it
will go until the June turn, when they
begin to shorten. But they are steady
about it. The times changes that are
most annoying are those of an unfaithful

fault. May be it is worn by being
only too faithful in its work, or is clogged
with dirt and hasn't chance. Bring it

Statehood For The Territories.
Portland News.

1t has been suggested by some o.
the democratic members of Congress
that the Northwestern Territories
will not have to wait until the Fifty
first Congress for admission into the
Union. 1t is conceded that the Re-
pnblicans will admit these Territor>
les as soon as the next Congress is
organized, and the Democratic party
will gain nothing by delaying the
matter only a single year. 1t ia
urged that the Democratic House
might as we'll consent to the admis-
sion of these new States at once, and
thus give the administration the
credit for it. 1.-THE matter is delay
ed unit! the Fifty-first Congress Da-
kota will come in as two, Montana
as one, Idaho as another, Washing
ton as a fourth, and possibly New
Mexico as fifth. Dakota is Repub-
lican and so is Idaho. Washington
Territory and Montana have been
represented by Democratic Dele
gates, and New Mexico is Democrat
ic. Montana and Washington how
ever, both went Republican at the
recent election, and Democrats be-
lieve it was because of the refusal
of the Democratic Administration
to admit them into the Union, If
the Republicans get the credit Of
their admission they will all, with
the possible exception Of New Mex
leo, feel bound to support the Re-
publican party. This would give
the Republican ten new senator's,
conceding New Mexico to the DEM
Gratis.
The democrats will probably vote
for the admission of the territories,
but will demand that Dakota be adj
mitted as one state.

Mount Harrison.

A dispatch from Indianapolis,
under date of Nov. "a, thus details
the exploit of two Jealous Idaho
republicans:
"Today's mail brought a photo
graph from Albion, Idaho, of high
peak in Cassia county, which had
recently been named mount Har-
rison." The ceremony of christen-
ing the mountain, the accompany
ing letter explains, took place last
Sunday evening, when Frank Rib
let and J. A. Gardiner, of Albion,
climbed to the topmost points, 49,
600 feet above the sea, and there
erected an octagon, or tower, some
twenty feet high, on top Of which
they planted the stars and stripes,
and sang Columbia and other ma
tional songs. Mount Harrison is
the highest point in Cassia county.
Its twin looming nearly as high, has
long borne the name, "Mount INDIE
pendent"

Some of the richest ore that we
have seen for years, says the Silver
Avalanche. was taken from the face
of the drift in the Poorman mine on
Tuesday last. 1t was net only rich
in gold, but silver also, and resem-
bled the rich ore that came from
that mine twenty years ago. If
this chute holds out, as it is liable
to do, money enough will be taken
out to pay the national debt. n
All the mills in camp are now rum
ming, and will probably be kept
constantly employed during the
winter in reducing ore from the
Orc Elmo, Poorman, and other
mines.

Two Lucky Men.

On the 18th of October this paper
announced that lightning had struck
in Vancouver, or the same thing, a
streak of luck that made some ex-
element. In September M. C. Har-
ell, a laborer on J. c. ProbstePs
farm bought one-twentieth of ticket
No. 46,755 in the Louisiana state
lottery, and that number drew the
big $500, 700 prize on October 9th.
J. c. Proebstel owns half of this
Harell ticket, which entities the
holders to $4,000. The collection
was made by Wells, Fargo & Co.
Express Co., and the money, gold
coin, is now in Portland ready to be
paid over upon proper receipt for it.
Both the lucky men are honest
grangers.-Vancouver Wash. Ter. J

When the strike on the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy occurred, all
the civil engineers in the employ of
the company surveying the extern
sion of it's line westward were dis
charged and the work of extension
suspended. The company has,
however, reinstated its corps of en-
gineers, and preparations are in
progress to extend the c., B. & @.
lines 300 miles westward to Wy
oming during the next year, which
will bring it nearly to the national
park.

A Balloonlst Drops 5000 Feet To Be
Drowned.

At Columbus, Ga, Nov. 22d, B.
F. Vandegrift made an ascent in a
balloon in the presence of $4,000
people. When the vessel reached a
height of about 5000 feet in the air
it burst and began falling like a
limp, wet rag. With great presence
of mind the areonaut cut the para
chute loose from the balloon and
shot toward the earth with the
speed of an arrow: Down, down,
down, it came for two or three hun
drek feet when the machine began
to initiate and the crowd breathed
easier. The parachute settled
about 300 feet from the bank of the
river, where in spite of all efforts,
the brave man drowned.

No Leap In 1900.

Although the year 1900 will DO
divisible by four without a remaider,
it will not be leap year. 1t is we'll
to be informed of this in time.
Twelve years must elapse before the
interesting event takes place, but it
was Just the same in 1900 and in
100, but not in 1000 for that was
leap year, and the year 1000 will be
leap year also. Why this should
be is much a problem to the generel
reader as the silver question or the
tariff issue.

are supplying the Idaho division
of the Union Pacific with coal to
the amount of ten or fifteen car

A Mammoth Clock.

The clock that is to be put into
the tower of the Public Building at
Philadelphia is said to be larger
than Great Ben in London. The
dial is to be twenty-five feet in di~
ameter, the center Of which will be
361 feet above the street and illu-
minated by electricity, SO that the
time can be seen at night from any
point in the city, and with field
glass the position of the hands can
be distinguished at a distance of
firteen miles. The minute hand of
the clock will be twelve feet long
and the hour hand will measure
nine feet in length. The size of the
Roman figures on the dial will be
two feet eight inches in length. A
steam engine will be placed in the
tower to wind the clock up every
day. The clockmakers who have
been invited to give their views con-,
cerning the building of the clock,
all say that nobody in this country
is able to build such an enormous
time piece. It will take a whole
year to place the clock machinery
in the tower after the building has
been completed. The bell for the
clock is to weigh between 10000
and $4,000 pounds, and to be ab.e
to peal out so loud that it can be-
heard in the distant parts of tho
city. There will be what is known
as the Westminster chimes, ringing
the quarter, half, three-quarters.
and hour. The bell will be the next
heaviest to that in the cathedral at
Montreal, which weighs $4,000
pounds.

A Gamblers Paradise.

Europe is becoming moral. At
Homburg the most desperate gam
bling had gone on for years until it
was recently suppressed. The man
ayers of Monte Carlo are sad. 1t
had become the international gam
ing house. Princes and tramps sat
side by side and tried their luck in
that gilded palace of sin. Beauti-
full women tore their jewels from
their necks and cast them on fa-
vorite card. People travelled across
continents to risk fortunes on the
most famous gaming tables Of the
world. AS rule the betters lost.
Suicides were common. Confiden-
tial clerks, trustees, guardians,
young men with their paternal
pocket-books in charge, women
overdrawing their accounts-all
these were frequently found self
slain almost under the shadow of
the temple of chance. But now
Nemesis seems to have turned her
hard hand against these gamesters.
The stockholders of Monte Carlo
sized up accounts four days ago
and found that they were $4,000
short of last years business. Only
nineteen persons suicided on the
grounds during the past twelve
months, a fact which indicates that
losses were not as heavy as usual.
The previous year saw twenty-five
suicides, and the number has gone
as high as sixty in one year. The
prince of the miserable little sove-
reignty realizes the decline of his
gambling shop and is trying to de-
wise means to revive its lost pres
tige. Monte Carlo is now adver-
tised in the Paris papers, an expe-
dient never before deemed neces-
sary. 1t proves that the concern is
hard up and awakens the hope that
it may soon be obliterated.

A BOUNTEOUS LAND.

A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Record, writing from Punta
Arenas, Costa Rica, says: Truly
Mother Earth's excessive liberality
in this little corner of creation is
astonishing! In her wooded soil
tudes the hunter or traveller may
find banquet ready spread to ap-
pease his hunger and assuage his
thirst. To be sure, this vegetable
bread, being rather tough for any
teeth but those of m monkeys, is vastly
better by boiling, but on the ''butts"
(from the fruit called aquacale)
there can be no improvement. The
"milk tree" on being punctured
sends forth a cooling lacteal fluid
similar to COWS milk, but with the
advantage that it may be kept for
months without becoming rancid.
The coyal or "wine tree" is more
rare, but repays a long search. 1t
emits a liquid resembling our best
muscatel, without it's Intoxicating
properties. In some portions of
this marvellous country another tree
abounds, from the leaves of which
the natives extract substance for
frying and lubricating purposes,
which an expert could hardly dis
tinguish from the best beef tallow.
The berries of another bush make
excellent soap, having merely to be
moistened and rubbed to become
even more saponacious than amole;
the root in general use for soap
throughout Mexico and Lower Cal
ifornia. Then there are castor beans
growing wild everywhere, which are
as useful for Illuminating purposes
as for fuel and medicine. A few of
the beans stuck on a stick and
lighted are better than a dozen tai
low candles.
