The Astori. Pioneer, in one Of it's

The Astoria Pioneer, in one of its
solemn moments, ssid: {" People
have wondered at the marvellous
growth Of Washington Territory.
There is not one city in Oregon during
the past year that has increased ma
terially in population, yet during that
time the cities of Seattle, Tacoma,
Ellensburg, Spokane, Whatcom and
Port Townsend have nearly doubled
their population. Eastern capital and
manufactures, instead Of locating in
Oregon, have gone to some Of the
cities and towns above mentioned
and invested. Is it because they
have better natural resources than
Oregon, or are better located for
commerce and shipping? Certainly
not. We have had eastern capital
come to Oregon with a view of in
vesting, and have seen it go over to
the Sound or Spokane Falls and in
vest there. There must be some
cause for this. Washington Terrific
ry to-day has larger population
than Oregon"

Fuller's Insanity,
Portland News.

Archbishop Gross returned on
Wednesday from Victoria, where he
participated in the obsequies of the
late Archbishop Seghers. The re-
mains lay in state on the U. S. gun.
boat Ihetls on the way down. The
remains were conveyed to the shore
In small boat. While this was be.
ing done all the vessels in the harbor
dropped their flags, out of respect
to the departed. The funeral cere.
monies were most elaborate and i'm.
posing. The sermon was preached
by bishop Brondel, and the remains
were placed in the vault at St. Mary's
Cathedral. 1t was learned that Frank
Fuller's bullet struck above the heart
and severed the main artery Of that
organ. Archbishop Gross has copy
OF Archbishop Seghers' diary kept up
to within four days of his death. In
this is mentioned in several places
the fact that Fuller had on divers
occasions shown marked signs of in
sanity. This was manifested by in
coherent, rambling remarks and
queer actions.

General Crook was induced by the
Directors of the Waits Sunday
School to address $4,000 Chicago
street urchins at Thanksgiving din
ner in Chicago. The subject of his
address was his experience with Indi-
ans. The result was amusing to all
but the noted fndian fighter. AL
most before he knew it, the General
had an attack of stage fright, the
little street savages receiving him
with such paralyzing yells and other
like manifestations of deviltry so ex-
traordinary that the subduer of red
skins had his voice completely
drowned, and was obliged to retire
to seat looking fatigued as though
he had just come back from six days
fight with Geronimo. Nevertheless,
the dinner was the greatest success Of
the kind that ever took place in Chi
cago.

ENTERPRISE: On what grounds it
can be claimed that Idaho is a Dem
ocratic Territory it is difficult to un-
derstand. When nearly every coun-
ty in the Territory elects straight
republican ticket; when nine-tenths
of its legislature is republican; when
it elects a republican delegate to
Congress in the face of annexation,
in the face of strong Mormon opposi-
ton, it is very evident that the Terri
tory is republican. In the case of
delegate it may be justly claimed
that much democratic support was
given to the republican candidate,
but this claim cannot hold good in
the case of other candidates.

Electricity as Light.

Acting on Maxwell's theory that
light is really an electric disturbance
or vibration, Professor Oliver J..
Lodge has tried to produce light by
direct electric action without the IN
tervention of heat. BY means of the
oscillatlng discharge of Leyden jar,
giving as much as 1,000,000,000 COM
plete vibrations per second, he OBJ
tanned electric waves that were essen
tally light in every particular except
that they We're too long to affect the
retina. To accomplish the latter
the waves must be shortened from a
length Of three yards to the hundred
thousandth part Of an inch. When
we are able to generate electric
waves of the necessary smallness, the
present wasteful and clumsy systems
of lighting by the help of steam en-
gines and dynamos will be quickly
abandoned.

A THANKSGIVING dance was an

dusk, and of course on such short
notice the attendance was small, and
there was lots of room in the hall to
get in a lot of extra, sweeping mo-

collisions. Just eight couples were
there, and all who participated pro-
nounced it one of the biggest little
dances" they ever attended. The
dance disintegrated between IL and

A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

My DEAR FRIENDS: Men have
fought, bied and died-but not for
beer. VIM. Tell did not hide his ar.
row under his vest to kill the tyrant
because the edict had gone forth that
the free-born Switzer should not
drink beer. Freedom did not shrek
as kosciusco fell over whisky bar
rel. Even the battle of Brandywine
was not fought that whisky might be
free. No clause in the Declaration
of Independence declares that a SUM-
day concert garden, with brass horns
and kegs of beer, is the inalienable
right of free people.
Tea-mild tea, harmless tea, the
much-sneered-at temperance bever-
age, the feeble drink of good old
women. Tea holds a higher place.
1t fills glorious page in the history
OF the United States more glorious
far than beer. 1t is worth fighting
for. The best men in the world
fought for it. The history of the
United States is incomplete with
tea left out. AS well might the his
torian omit to mention Bunker Hill OF
Faneuil Hall. But does any one
know a story of heroism or pariotism
with rum for its hero? Whisky men
fight, it is true. But they fight
other drunken men. The heroes
who fall in the struggles for
rum, fall shot in the neck and die by
the haunting phantoms of ''jim-ja
Honor never has the delirium tre-
mems. Glory does not wear a red
nose. Fame blows horn, but never
takes one. The champion of beer
does not stand in the temple OF
Fame. He stands in the police
court. BOB BURDETTE.

Atlanta, Ga, has paper house.
No wood, brick, iron, or other mate
rial is used about the building. 1t is
a neat little store, painted sky blue,
and was erected by a Frenchman who
is agent for the paper of which it is
constructed. The weather boarding,
the roof, and the flooring are all made
of thick, compressed papr boards,
impervious to water and as durable
as wood. Th9 house can not catch
on fire as easily as wooden building,
because the surface of the paper is
smooth and hard. Paper is bound to
be a great factor in the future, to sup

THE Territorial Council will con-
sist of seven Republicans, one Anti
Mormon and four Democrats. The
seat of J. w. Lamoreaux will be con-
tested on the ground that he was
elected by Mormon votes, and it will
doubtless go to an Antl-Mormon.
This will leave the Council as fol-
lows: Republicans seven, Anti Nor
mons two, Democrats three. Total,
twelve.
The House stands: Republicans
twenty-one, Democrats two, Mormon
one. Total, twenty-four. The seats
of J. H. Kinnersley, Mormon, and
H. B. Kinport, Democrat elected by
Mormon votes, will be contested, and
doubtless given to Republicans.

The latest whim is the identifca-
ton card. Its aim is to enable per-
son in strange place to establish his
identity without the aid of any other
means. 1t consists of double card,
which is carried in neat leather case.
On one side are blanks to be filled in
with name of the bearer, his occupa-
ton, birthplace, date of birth, resi-
dence and personal description. On
the other side is pasted his photo
graph with his own signature beneath.
Then follows the certificate of no.
tary public that the photograph is
known to him to be that of the man
whose signature was affixed in his
presence. The manufacturers urge
that the cards will enable persons to
cash checks without further indenti-
6cation and do all manner of busl-
ness. Lawyers laugh, saying the
card is too easily forged, notary pub
lies name and all, to induce bank
officers to trust the holders.

Cor. New York Sun.

During the past summer a great
deal OF unsuccessful prospecting has
been done for the Lum Burge mine.
Hundreds OF men have secured the
North Boise mountains, and at time,
rumors were set ahoat that the lost
mine had been rediscovered. In the
times OF the great Boise Basin min.
ing excitements, 1863 to 1870, an old
prospector named Lum Burge brought
many specimens of extremely rich
silver ore into Idaho City, but refused
to inform even his most intimate
friends where he got them. MANY
attempted to follow him, but they
were always evaded. About fifteen
years ago Mr.. Burge was sent to an
insane asylum, where he still remains.
Since then every prospector in this
section has entertained a glimmer of
hope that he could find the vein from
which the rich specimens came. One
of them informs the writer that the
ore came from the south side of Goat
Mountain. He may be correctly in
formed, as that section is a regular
network of quartz veins, which have
not been prospected, and the canyons
below are filed with " float" " quartz.
1t is certain that the Lum Burge
mine is not mythical, but of course it
remains to be proven whether the
vein or veins are of sufficient size to
justify the excitement redscovery
would be sure to create.

could attend to no business at all. The
pains were movable, and would sometimes
pass from one part of my body to another.
Finally the erysipelas broke out on my left

in this way, and of course used great
