TRIED TO EscAPE.-Frank Wat

TRIED TO EscAPE.-Frank Wat
son, noted convict from Wasco
county, made an attempt to escape
from the Oregon penitentiary on
last Friday evening. He was serv-
ing a seyen-year term for larceny
and, probably concluded he would
shorten his time but was left. His
plan was to dig a trench from un-
der the floor of the work shop to
the race and escape at night by
scaling the wall. In the work he
had two confederates, and every
day about since early spring they
had managed to work in early
morning, while it was yet quite
dark, the two would raise a board
and assist the third one under
the floor, where he would work all
day. In the evening he would be
released in the same way. But
their plan failed of naturalization
because a fellow convict, George
Robinson, knew their plans and re-
ported to the superintendent, who
watched the operations until he
saw what the result would be. He
had not long to wait. Friday
morning 219 men were turned out
to work in the shops and when
work was done for that day but 21S
men returned, Watson being the
missing man. A search revealed
him secreted in the tnnnel, armed
with edibles sufficient to last him
several days and some extra cloth
ing. He was returned to his ward
minus his credit marks. Those of
his pals were also erased, while the
informant Robinson, was number
ed among the TRUSTEES.

A JoHNsTowNER.- long since
a man named Etinger, accompan-
led by his wife and son, arrived
in Salem direct from Johnstown,
Pa. Before the great flood there
this family was composed of six
persons, but three of them met
death by the dam break which
swept away the city. Hardly had
this man Etinger become settled in
the capital city when he tried to
flood his insides with tan,juice and
became so "dizzy" that he was
taken to the city's Jail on dray.
Evidently Oregon's weather is hav-
ing bad effect on him.

mixture Of wood ashes, are excellent,
but full supply is not always obtain
able. The cheapest and easiest mode
is to lay by a supply of dirt, either
from the road or the field, but it should
be perfectly dry, or stored in a dry
place, or it can not be used when the
necessity arises. In winter box one
yard square and six inches deep, filled
within an inch of the top with the dirt,
is just what the hens will appreciate.
The dirt may remain in thu box as long
as it is dry and clean, but should be re-
moved at least once week. By sprink-

bolic acid in the dust bath, any I'M
pleasant odors may be removed, and
the dirt rendered more acceptable.

The dust-bath is the toilet of the

delights in the enjoyment it affords.
In winter, however, when the ground
is frozen hard, it sometimes become a
difficult matter to provide the hens
with adust-bath, especially if there are

The dirt should be fine and we'll sifted,

Che Rich Country Opened to Commerce
by Explorer Stanley.
A railroad has been planned to carry
freight around the cataracts. Soon,
MANIFESTATIONS will be scattered along
the five thousand miles of navigablo
waters of the great river. Stanley
found a vast country that had no
owner. The river drains region con-
tanning more than million square
miles, much of which is well peopled.
The Congo Free State, founded by
SANKEY'S friend, Leopold H., King of
the Bclgians, lies chiefly south of tho
great bend of the river, and contains
an area of one million five hundred
and eight thousand square miles;
its population is more than forty
two millions, The articles collected
from the African trade are ivory,
palm-oil, gum-copal, rubber, beeswax.
cabinet-woods. hippopotamus teeth
and hides, monkey-skins and divers
other things. These are bought with
goods, such as colored beads, brass
and copper wire, cotton cloth, cutlery,
guns, ammunition, and II great variety
of articles known as motions" Or
"trade-goods. The basis of all buy

Garden on the Farm.

To open the subject we may say:
First, the garden should be near the
dwelling so that the family can have
easy access to it; should have south
or southeastern exposure; and that
the soil be light loan and naturally
well drained. The location being a
starting and important point, the
other two requisites of soil and drain
age, if not right by natural conditions,
must be made SO by artificial means,
such as understanding, if too wet. and
the application of woods mold Or
sand, if too stiff. No trouble in cult
ure or production will follow after a
proper soil is obtained. Second, the
shape of the garden-plat should
be a parallelogram, with sides
three times longer than the ends; a
roadway through the center length
wise will be useful in hauling in and
dumping manure on either side for
convenient spreading; the planting
and cultivation in long rows parallel
to the roadway may be done by light
one-horse plows and other implements.
About one third of the ground at one
end may be devoted 10 grapes and
small fruits, and when these need cul-
ture it may be given by planting be-
tween the rows light crop, such as
bush-beans or peas. Irish potatoes
between the spaces, with their culture
and manuring, would be beneficial to
the vines and shrubs. Third, neat
and substantial Enclosure will be in
dispensable Planter.
