SENATE Bill No. 1876, authorizes
the Secretary of State Of the state
of Oregon to procure at the expense
of the state a sufficient quantity of
plain white paper to be used as
ballot paper at each general, special
or municipal election hereafter held
in this state in pursuance of law.
The Secretary of State shall deposit
a sufficient quantity of such paper
with the county clerk of each coun-
ty of Oregon, and shall keep in their
hands at all times enough to supply
the voters of the respective counties
with paper to be used as ballot paper
at each lawful election to be here
after held. This is done to try and
stop bogus tickets from being voted.

If A bring two horses into the
town and sell them for means to dig
him well which well is untaxed
or if he sell them for notes and with
the notes get the means to make the
well, should the notes go untaxed ?
The only point is do two properties
go untaXed in the former case and
does but one in the latter? Or is
there any difference between credit
raised or used on specific property
and credit used that is based on a
general ownership of various prop
critics.

OCCIDENTAL J0TTlNGS.

An exchange says German carp
are plentiful in the Willamette river.
1t must be mistake, as we haven't
heard of any being caught.
Rogue river trout fishing has been
ruined by the construction of a dam
at Gold Hill, which is not provided
with fish way. The dam has been
constructed to provide water power
for little sawmill, and it effectually
prevents the passage of fish.
PaIouse, w. T., comes to the front
with a youthful bigamist He is not
yet old enough to vote by several
years and is the husband of two
wives. The last one was only thir-
teen years old, but nevertheless she
skipped with him and the author
tiles are hunting them.
An Eastern Oregon paper says:
There are now over 1000, ZOO head of
sheep being pastured between Fish
lake and the Deschutes river. The
bunch grass range of Eastern Ore
gon is being rapidly demolished,
forcing the sheep owners TO seek
pastures in the Cascade mountains.
The body of Albert Wilson, the
young man who was drowned in the
Siuslaw on the 4th inst, was found
floating the water last Thursday
near where he went down. The
body of Miss Minnie Luckey, who
was drowned at the same time, has
not yet been found. The searching
party which has been down there
returned last week, but several par
ties are still watching the river and
it is thought the body will come to
the surface and be picked up soon.
A recent arrival in Oregon from
Michigan, brought tents, firearms
and provisions, prepared to rough it
in the wild wilderness, which
he expected to find. He brought
two sacks of flour in order to have
something to eat, besides the fish he
expected to snare and the wild
meat captured in the wilderness.
He must have been surprised to find
n civilization equal or superior to
that which he left. His case fairly
illustrates an opinion entertained
by thousands in the East, that Ore
gon is place inhabited by nomadic
tribes of the Buffalo Bill" style.

An Anecdote With a Moral

The doubts that many sbrewd peo-
pie feel as to the professional insight
and honesty of even their pet ply
sicians will get trihe Of confirma-
ton from this little story. There
WIS until within a few years an
English doctor whose morning lev
ees were crowded beyond dcscrip-
ton. 1t was his pride and bo st
that he could feel his patients pulse,
look at his tongue, probe at him with
his stethoscope, write his prescrip-
ton, pocket his fee, in a space of
time varying from two to five min
utes. One day an army man was
shown into the consulting room and
underwent what may be called in
Simultaneous process. When it was
completed the patient shook hands
with the doctor and said: 81 am cs-
pecially glad to meet you, as / have
often heard my father, Colonel For
ester, speak of his old friend Or. L.
"Whatp exclaimed the doctor, ''are
you Dick Forester's SOM" "M0st
certainly am" "My dear fellow,
fling that internal prescription iEto
the fire and sit down quietly and
tell me what's the matter with you.
How can / guess at it and do my
duty by you?"

Marvels of the Miscroscope.

Leuwenhoeck tells us of animated
insects seen with the microscope, OF
which twenty-seven millions would
only be equal to mite. Insects of
various kinds are observable in the
cavities of common grain of sand.
Mould is forest of beautiful trees,
with the branches, leaves, flowers
and fruit fully discernible. Butter
flies are fully feathered. Hairs are
hollow tubes. The surface of our
bodies is covered with scales like a
fish; single grain of sand would
cover $50 of these scales; and sim
gle scale covers 500 pores; yet
through these narrow openings the
sweat exudes like water through a
sieve; how minute, then, must be
its particles! The mite makes five
hundred steps in second. Each
drop of stagnant water contains a
world of animated beings, swim
ming with as much liberty as whales
in the sea. Each leaf has a colony
of insects grazing on it like oxen in
a meadow.

made by brewers that Oregon hops
are too green; that is, they have

The Lick Telescope.

Upon Mt. Hamilton, twenty-eight
miles from San Jose, is fixed the
magnificent telescope the late James
Lick presented TO California. 1t
was built by Alvan Clark of Massa-
chusetts and is said to be the largest
telescope in the world. The great
telescope has 36 inch lens, is 60
feet long and 4 feet in diameter.
The lens alone cost $4,000. A visit
to the Lick observatory is now one
of the jaunts the tourist to
California lays out for himself. The
trip is made by carriage up the
mountain road from San Jose
through romantic and beautiful
region. The observatory is open to
visitors on Saturday evenings. AL
though the telescope weighs seven
tons, a child can move it. The
dome in which it is placed revolves
with it. California is justly proud
of having the finest telescope in the
United States.

purchased of VIM. Fl. Phelps and

nent men and just such as Salem

how property has increased in
valuation it may be stated
that fourteen months ago an effort
was made to form syndicate for
the purchase of this entire tract.

Sl20 per acre. w. j. Clarke tried to
impress the fact upon his young
friends that the investment would
be good one and he labored Wig
orously to make the purchase, but
they could not see it. Now they
do, since 1t has almost trebled in
