the instrument. An it be an

thou seekest to gladden. thy
home; thou art not buying
the dealers wind and it may
well escape thy close attention.

The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1888-11-09

Eugene Semple, governor of Washing
ton Territory, in his annual report, esti-
mates the population of the territory at
I67,oSa, an increase of about a4,ooo during
the year. The taxable property OF the ter
ritory is $s4,6ar,ls2, a gain Of over $685.
ooo,ooo in the past ten years. The finan :
cial condition Is said to be in healthy and
prosperous condition. The coal mining
industry is in prosperous condition, the
mines having produced I,I33,Sof tons
against 5a5,7o5 during 1887. Gold and sill.
yer mining is also prosperous. The sal
mon pack was 36o,8ao cases, slight in
crease over last year, but neither the can-
neries nor the fishermen made anything
on the years work.
The governor urges the admission Of the
territory into the Union; recommends the
allotment of lands in seyeralty to all In
dams; liberal appropriation for the en-
forcement of the Chinese exclusion act
the establishment of port of entry at
Gray's harbor, and liberal appropriations
for surveys of the public lands.

To cut a five point star with a single
straight clip OF the shears might seem =
rather difficult feat 10 accomplish. Once
known, the process j. very simple Take
a sheet Of paper OF any sizc and fold Il once
across. Then make fold at right angles
TO this, merely for the purpose of deter
mining the center Of the paper. Throw
the sheet back upon the single fold and Is.
the center point be the point Of triangle
when al the folding l. completed
II must be understood that TO have five
pointed star taere must be one single and
twp double fslsis, the folds being made out.
wani from the center point. This single
fold should be made to point about four.
fifths Of the distance TO the middle line
made when the center ofthe paper was de
ter,nined. The first double fold Is made
by folding the further side Of the sheet as It
Is left after the single fold, back upon the
outer edge of the latter. The second dou
bic fold Is thea made BY folding what is
now double upon what Is triple.
To obtain the star, now make cut with
scissors on straight line diagonally ACROSS
from point some little distance removed
from the apex, to the extreme outer lower
point OF the fold. The cut may be made
from either regular side of the triangle
The eye must be guide as TO the acuteness
or obtuseness of the angles OF the star.
A very little practice will soon enable
one to cut one Of these stars with entire &C
curacy. Comparison of a star so made with
ageometric star will show il to be far more
symmetrical and graceful than the stiff
mathematical product,
