From Sherman County.

EDITOR JOURNAL:-Having just
returned from the Bunchgrass Prai-
rie, of Eastern Oregon, l will en-
deavor to furnish a few items which
may be interesting to the many
readers of your valuable columns.
The eastern part of Oregon has
just experienced the dryest season
known to its history, in fact hun
dreds are hauling water even now,
and the indications are that they
will be compelled to do so until the
snow melts in the spring, and even
then, If the snow fall is not greater
than at present, the supply of water
will be inadequate. Coupling this
fact together with their almost fail
ure of crops, and the limited cir
cumstances of the majority of fani-
lies, it would not be wonder il they
were altogether discouraged. But
such is not the case. Although
money is scarce, and the matter of
obtaining credit is out of the ques-
ton with a great many, yet 1 do
not believe there Is family in
Sherman county that will suffer
for want of the real necessities of
life. 1t Is true that some are very
anxious to dispose of their interests
aud leave the country. That, how
ever, is the case with a portion of
the population of any place In the
bounds Of civilization. And an
other fact to be taken into consid-
Grafton is the rapid growth and
prosperity of that country during
the last five years, which is largely
the cause of the dissatisfaction now
existing among the wheat-growers,
for Its u well-known fact that quite u
number of people are found where
ever you go that abuse prosperity
whenever II smiles upon them. 1t
is n very deplorable condition, not
only for the parties themselves, but
of course their influences are felt to
n certain extent, by all with whom
they come In contact. but taking all
things together, the people there are
In better circumstances than In gen
orally believed by the people In this
valley. The greatest difficulty that
the people Ia this new part Of our
new state, II the matterof foresight.
II only requIres single glance for

tive region, the necessity of the

THE San Francisco Examiner
speaks of the two great Southernels
who have just passed away-Jefier-
son Davis and Henry w. Grady-as
typical representatives of the Old
and New South. To the average
reader the names mark the very an
tipodes of thought and action. And
yet Grady was as heartily devoted
to his section aus Davis. But he had
Il clearer vision of It's true welfare.
He saw that nothing was to be
gained by brooding over the past,
and that if the destiny of the South,
as even Davis admitted, lay within
the Union, the thing for the South
to do was 70 accept that destiny
frankly, cheerfully, unreservedly,
and 60 forward in the determination
to make the prosperity of the Union
its own. He spoke for the young
men who have grown up since the
war, and who had no part in the
wrangle over slavery. Hisinfluence
was wholly good, and the regret vt
his loss is bounded by no sectional
lines.

THE telegraph brings us word of

THE telegraph brings us word of
the appointment of Mr.. Green B.
Cornelius as farmer for the Chemawa
Indian school. This is somewhat
unexpected by Mr.. Cornelius, but
equally pleasing to his friends and
republicans generally. The APP
pointee is brother of County Com
missioner A. II. Cornelius, and a
man who stands well IN his home
community near Turner. He is a
practical and successful farmer, a
good business man, and III every
way fitted for the important posi-
ton. THE JOURNAL is pleased to
chronicle this event, and congratu-
lates the public and the school upon
their good fortune.

THE knowledge that the mines of
Alaska turned out SS25,OO0 in gold
last year will give great impetus
to the development of whatever re-
sources our Artic territory may
possess. Where gold can be dug
there will always be population.
Human ingenuity and endurance
will be taxed to the utmost to main
tain footing in the most inaccessi-
BILE regions where the yellow metal
offers even a gamblers chance of
making fortune. 1t may cost more
to mine the gold than it is worth,
but as long as an occasional lucky
find is made, so long will the hunt
be kept up:

a CoMPOsIToR in printing office
was setting in type this verse OF
scriptures: "And Daniel had an ex-
cellent spirit in him." But he
made it read, "And Daniel had an
excellent spine in him." Mr.. Spur
geon said that it was not much of a
mistake. All good men nowadays
need "an excellent spine." They
require to hold the truth in its integ-
rity, to believe it upon the word of
its devine author, and then stand
erect and unflinching whatever OPP
position beialls them. This was the
case with Daniel. His excellent
spirit revealed itself in the texture
of his backbone. The hons den
confronted him but he did not yield
an inch. And he went into it with
tar more cOmposure than the king
went to his sleepless bed.

Bernhardt's Late Husband.

He was known in European theatrical
circles as Daria, and, it is said, claimed
to be count. As he was born in Greece,
where there are no titles except official
ones, and in the royal family, he had no
birthfight to one. He has often been re-
fefred TO as diplomat. His diplomatic
experience was not very extensive. He
was once connected with the Greek con-
sulate for few days through an acci-
dent. His real vocation was that of a
commercial traveller. The elder Damala
was trader in raw silk, having house
in Syria, and the son is said to have been
unusually successful in disposing of the
fathers wares. 1t is even said that he
had no right to his high sounding name
that he assumed "Aristides" for his
own satisfaction, and that he was chris
tened as only Jacques" -
Damala was fond of gambling, and a
swarm of creditors is believed to have
hurried his marriage and to have fol-
lowed him unrelentingly until he left for
Barcelona. He was once mixed up in a
gambling case with Lambri Pasha, but
his friends say that he was never black
leg. At the time of his marriage with
Bernhardt nobody seemed to know
whether his first wife was dead or not.
Buring the time he played with Bern
hardt he did all he could, it is said, to
excite her jealousy. When she was on
the stage and he was in the wings he
used to tiirt abominably with Mile. Lima
Maute. This was in Italy, where Bern
hardt had frequent fainting fits on the
stage. Exchange.

times made rapid descent into the

The Elevator In Europsaa Hotels.

The Elevator Ia Eur0penn hotolh.
The ''lift" is not displayed ostentatious-
ly in the great German houses. It is be-
hind iron doors, to be detected only by
inspection, and is moved by clanking
chains. The dehberation Of the proceed
ing is its most distinguishing character
istic. You stand in the great hall of the
hotel where reconnaissance has located
the laboring Gift" and silently await de-
velopments. Everybody else has the
greatest plenty Of time. Presently from
the unknown interior iron doors fly open,
and a soldierly looking servant with
brass buttons on his cap, preoccupied
with his responsibilities, steps forth with
an air Of majesty. The doors clang as
they swing, and the Lift is there, rather
primitive but elaborate in construction.
Perhaps there may be five passengers
ready to get aboard. When four have
taken position the master of the elevator
waves the fifth backward with an awful
air Of authority, and II the rejected one
is an American urgent to go up at once,
he is told peremptorily that there are
places "only for four" The iron doors
are banged, the engines heave and the
massive machine moves. Safety is con-
sultedl Here is mastery mechanism
that might swing pair Of elephants of
the size Of Jumbo, but an attempt to lift
at once more than four persons would be
regarded as an affront to the empire.
The things impossiblel The French
have the same elevating methods. There
is usually an iron gate as yell as an iron
door to the ascens96r In France, and in
some Of the first class establishments
they will risk taking up as many as five
passengers at time. The chains that
are rugged for the security of this multi
tude of irresponsible things are Of links
of wrought iron two inches In diameter

49, 4 FtFTfi AVENUE INTERIOR,

A FIFTH AVENUE INTERIOR
This arch apart, nothing can be more uncom-
promising than the use made of straight lines
and right angles In this room; not even the
cupboards that jut out from the mantelpiece
ateither side have curvein in them. The PANEL
ing Is square; the ceiling is divided of into
straight lined compartments, and there does
not seem to be the least element of weakness,
the arch excepted, in the whole construction.
This, it is hardly necessary to point out, not
only preserves an air of dignity and SIM
plicity to the apartment, but it actually helps
to give home like appearance by bringing
out the numerous curved lines Of the furni-
ture and the bric-a-brac To introduce
curves at all freely in the architecture of the
room would be to take away from the attrac-
tiveness of the chairs and sofa and tables,
and to make the eye less inclined to dwell on
the graceful shapes Of the porcelains and bits
of Venetian glass on the mantel shelves.
Lot US attempt, with such help as the
artist has given us, to create color scheme
for the room, though it will probably be in
part unlike the reality. Let the frame of
our old beveled mirror beether in gilt wood
or in stamped or hammered brass, and the
mantel in carved cedar or other reddish wood,
with squares of warm toned stamped leather
in its panels. The small tiles next the open
ing of the fireplace will be in various tones
of dark green and blue. Those underneath
will be in chocolate color, or warmer and
lighter buff. The rug may contain much
dark blue, but deep red should predominate
The walls must be very delicately pat
termed in two or three shades of warm brown
and gold. The cornice may be in cream and
gold, and few lightly stenciled ornaments
in gold may deck the ceiling.
