Messrs. r. F. Gibbons, E. Schanno and Geo.

A letter was read by the secretary re-
questing page advertisement for $50 in a
pamphlet to be published by the y. r. &
n. Co., descriptive of towns along the route
and to be distributed east. The secretary
was instructed to acknowledge receipt of
letter and decline the offer, and on motion a

G. L. Phillips and JOS. MacEachern, was
appointed to confer with local printers and
Ascertain what could be done in regards to

turned once Ii three years. The Idea
sprang up among the rich merchants and
was accepted by the government, and the
| merchants conducted the business. The
limit Of capital represented by the NJ IS
was 1,255,300 strings, string being 1000
copper cash. In A. d. 1850 the Golden
Tartars had just conquered North China,
and about this time they adopted cur
rency in paper because they found cop
per scarce. Copper, silver and gold have
always been chiefly found in South China.
A North China kingdom finds il conven-
lent to use paper SO far as possible to pre-
vent its being dependent on a southern
neighbor. From this time forward, dur
ing century of the Golden Tartars and
another century of the Mongol domina.
ton, strenuous efforts were made to main
tain paper currency. Colonel Yule, DIR.
Bushell and others have printed fac
SMILES of the notes of these periods.
They are found, for example, in Yule's
Marco Polo and in the Journal of the
Peking Oriental Society, published this
year. All the efforts of the government
did not secure the credit of tue notes at
par. On the contrary, they became de
p.eciated to an extreme degree. Thie,
however, did not prevent the government
OF the Ming dynasty, which acquired the
sovereignty In A. D. 1868, from continu-
ing tor time paper currency. which was
finally abandoned, as silver flowed into
the country through the foreign trade,
which brought TO the southern ports
portion of the products of Mexican and
Peruvian mines. 1t was American silver
that gave the death blow to paper cur
rency in China. The arrival of sufficient
silver was the real relief which Chinese
trade required. Notes were finally abol.
ished about A. d. 1920. Thus the con-
quest made by silver of paper occupied
about century or little more, from
the commencement of the trade of the
Spaniards and Portuguese with Canton.

A communication was read from Donald
Macleay, president of the Portland board
of trade, asking the secretary to give in
formation of farmers who are in need OF
seed wheat, and who have not the means to
procure the same. After some discussion,
in which criticism was made Of means and

of confidence that The Dailes was amply
able to supply all needy farmers, motion
was carried that committee of three be

Fire at Wallace.

Last Friday afternoon, about o'clock
the barn Of Mr.. C. R. Wallace was burned
to the ground. He lost ten tons of hay be-
sides number of agricultural implements,
hack, harnesses, and calf. His loss will
approximate about $500, and he is insured
for about one-half. The following after
noon, Saturday, about o'clock Mr.. G. W.
Phelps lost twenty-five tons of hay by fire,
and his house caught twenty-one times.
Through the strenuous exertions of the rail-
road employees the building was saved, but
the bedding and clothing thrown from the
windows were consumed by the flames.
The house is slightly damaged, but not to
any considerable amount. MIR. Phelps estI-
mates his full loss at $500, and has no in
surance except on the house and furniture.
These fires were undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary, and if he Is caught he will be
given an opportunity of stretching hemp.
The community are terribly excited as this
is the third destructive fire this season, and
threaten vengeance on the cnlprit when
caught.

A Mysterious ARRAY,

"
About clock Monday evening as Robt.
NJ. McCailey was seated in his office at
work he was interrupted by the entrance of
stranger, who inquired for Justice Taylor.
On being told that he had retired for the
night, the stranger asked Mr. McCalley to
write a letter for him, as he had been
wounded in the right hand and could not
write. OF course the request was granted,
and the letter written as dictated. 1t was
addressed to Mrs. FL. Knowlton, Adams,
Oregon. and i'll substance said that the
lady husband had been wounded, but not
seriously, and begging her not to worry as
he was being well cared for. That the fight
had been seven men ON two, but they stood
them off. The signature given was j. G.
Miller. With pardonable curiosity Mr..
McCalley asked the man where the fight
occurred, when and under what circum-
stances, but the only answer given was that
t happened back in the mountains, but
whether land jumping, horse stealing or
some other thing was the impellIng cause,
he would not say. Nor could anything be
learned from him as to who his seven antag-
onists were. He did say that KnowltoD,
his partner, was shot in the hip, but he did
not think the wound was dangerous.

May Remain a Mystery.


1t is often said that ''murder will out, -
but it does seem that this cd saying is
sometimes slow in being verified. In Crook
county within the past few years number
of crimes have been committed which are
shrouded in mystery and seem liable so to
remain. For instance, not less than half
dozen fires have occurred in the county DUR
ing the past two years which were undoubt-
edly incendary, yet there has not been
single instance in which the person who
kindled the fire has been convicted, and in
most cases it has been impossible to even
guess whom the incendiaries were. And again
the disappearance of George Nutting last
May, which is generally conceded to have
been the work Of an assassin, is still mys-
terry, and the parties who are most inter-
ested in discovering his murderer have
abandonded the search entirely. When
such crimes as those mentioned above can
be committed and the closest investigation
fails to discover the perpetrators it seems
there is little protection to life or property.
But there seems to be no remedy, since men
do not call in witnesses when thev commit
crime, and if they have sense enough to
keep their mouths shut after it is done they
are usually saf fe from detection.

THE KENTUCKY FACTION FEUD.
Paper Currency IN China.

The first attempt at paper currency in
China of which any record remains was
in A. D. s06, says the Norh China Daily
Ners, when bills of exchange were called
flying money" Merchants in the capi-
tai could by an ordinance then first made
receive government bills in return for the
merchants copper money. On arrival at
any provincial capital they could receive
from the provincial treasurer the amount
stated ON the bill. There was return to
this system, which was sort of banking
facility offered TO the merchants by the
government, about the year A. d. 960.
A bureau was Instituted IN Kai-feng-fu,
then the capital, for the transaction of
this business In 1923 Szechuan was
suffering from the IRON cash coinage
which the government from scarcity of
copper was forcing on the people there.
The paper notes then put in circulation
at Cheng tn by the government were
meant as relief. They wee to be re-

We learn from the Albany Herald that
the plant of Messrs. Orman, Crook & Co.
arrived yesterday from Portland, or rather
the first shipment arrived, consisting Cf
seven car loads, and another shipment will
arrive in few days.
These gentlemen will ship their plant to
the front to-day and begin work at once.
They purchased large amount of supplies
in Albany Monday which goes to the
front with their plant. They will put
about 500 men to work at once and will
push the work of construction vigorously.
There need oe no complaint among laborers
about scarcity of work, for they will en-
ploy all who apply for work here and will
have to get many men from abroad. They
propose to prosecute the work until late in
the winter, and will finish the road to the
summit with all possible haste, in order to
get an early start next spring on the work
east of the Cascade mountains.
The track is low laid to Breitenbush,
which will obviate much of the expensive
packing that has heretofore been required
Of contractors. About six miles OF road
has been finished at the summit, and next
summer will witness its compl, tion through
the great wool producing district of Crook
county. which will bring all the trade from
large scope of country to Albany.
