A rainy night, and Twenty-third
street was almost deserted. A young
woman was Fastening upon her way,
when she saw before her on the
muddy walk a bright circle of gold,
O ring. She STOPPED to SICK it up;
a man coming from the opposite di-
rection saw il also, and at the same
moment leaned forward TO reach it.
The lady gave way; the man, upon
rising, politely said: Here is your
ring, madam"
mo, no, it is not mine" said the
lady.
Then it is your find" replied the
II think it is yours" returned the
lady.
"Well, ! don't want it, said he.
'Nor l." said she.
"See, it does not fit me at all; it is a
lady's ring, said he.
Perhaps your wife might like it."
said she.
my wife is dead" said he.
Cant you give it tosome n else"
said she.
mo, madam, I don't care for it.
You keep it. Just give me a quarter
to buy couple of cigars, and it will
DO all right"
The lady hesitated for only a moment
-acheap ring, surely; will sell for 81,
at least; and that win buy-and a Wis
ion of gloves, hosiery and tides fitted
through her brain. "Ah, yes, here is
your quarter" and to ease a sudden
witch Of conscience she dropped an
extra ten cent piece into his hand;
and slipping the ring upon her finger
to keep 1t safe, hurried home.
How happy you look" said her
husband, as she was removing her
wraps.
"Do II Well Tn in luck"
Luck, howP
"I've found something very valu-
able" said she, drawing off the ring
and handing it TO him, ''and have had
Q very interesting experience" While
his brows were drawn together in
critical examination of the treasure
she related the episode as it occurred,
not even leaving out the extra ten
cent piece.
He threw back his head with O
hearty laugh and said: 1.-The thing is
brass. That was q fraud elegantly
played"
"Oh, il can't be-" said she, family.

THAT MORTGAGE TAX.
How 1t Keeps Capital From the
Angelic City.

How 1t Keeps Capital From the
Angelic City.
Here is story which shows why the
mortgage tax law ought to be abolished.
A young man in this city has brother
who is connected with one of the largest
loan and trust companies of the East.
Loanable funds are rather plentiful be-
yond the Rockies just now, and this
young financier was sent out to visit this
Coast, and look into the situation. He
spent few weeks in California, keeping
his people at the East we'll advised as to
all he saw and heard. A week ago he
received orders to leave Los Angeles and
proceed to Prescott, Arizona, to place
some loans in that section. Yesterday
he wrote back to his brother in this city
saying that he had loaned
$4,000 of per cent. Eastern money in
a week. He added: It is a shame to
take this money out of beautiful and
pr )gressive Los Angeles, where could
have placed this much many times over,
but my people will not lend money while
that odious mortgage tax law is in opera
ton. This story is sufficient reason for
the repeal of this unjust and odious law

THE OUTFALL SEWER.
City Engineer DOckweiler,s Report

City Engineer DOckweiler,s Report
now Ready.
City Surveyor Dockweiler had his
report ready on the surveys of the pro-
posed routes of the sewer to the sea, to
present to the Council yesterday, but it
was not reached and will not be heard
until next Monday. He states that Mr..
Eaton's survey over the route across the
Centinela ranch and emptying in the
ocean six miles north of Redondo Beach
is IL y miles long and will cost $466, ,154.
Mr.. Lambie's survey, emptying into the
sea two miles southeast of the Arcadia
Hotel at Santa Monica is II 7-1O miles
long, and would cost 1926, 900, and the
survey via the Nadeau vineyard to
point 7-10 miles from Long Beach is
20H miles long, with fall of 178 feet,
and would cost $755,568. These esti-
mates do not include the cost Of con-
structing reservoirs for holding the sew
age which must be given to the ocean at
certain stages of the tide. OF all the
routes surveyed he thinks that proposed
by Mr.. Eaton the best, on account Of its
shorter length and because of the great
territory which can be irrigated from it.

1t Weighs Ten and a Half POun

That is what is the matter with the
son and heir of Mr.. George w. William.
son. The little stranger arrived yester.
day morning at 4 :35 O'Clock, and brought
more light than the rising sun to the
home of the young husband and his
charming bride. Georges many friends
missed him from the field day of the
Athletic Club last Friday. He used to
be the observed OF all observers on such
occasions. He says it will be all right
next year, as he will be there with the
boy to contest with all comers in any
trial of agility-weight for age. If the
young stranger looms up half as hand
some and popular as his "paternal rela-
tive," he will never be black balled in
any society.

Dog Poisoning.

In Justice Savage's Court yesterday a
jury disagreed over the question of
whether w. H. Alexander was guilty of
having maliciously MANNED and poisoned
Harry Wyatt's dog. This is the second
time Alexander has been tried on this
charge. One Of the members of the jury
was d. G.. Darlington, who is under in
dictment for manslaughter. A number
of cases of dog poisoning have come up
in the Justice courts of late, and whether
or not this man was guilty-which yet
remains to be proved-there appears to
be general sentiment that offenses of
this sort deserve severe handling.

STREET GRADING.
Some New Work Begun, and Some

some new Work BoG uan, ana Som g
10 be Begun.
Dwellers along the line Of First street,
west of Hill, view with great complacency
the work being done on the crest of the
hill east Of Olive street, under the shadow
of the electric light mast, and of the
alarm bell. The contractor is actually at
work cutting through that hill, and soon
this thoroughfare will be such in fact, as
well as in name. Let the work go on
without interruption until completed
fully, is the aspiration of all who live
along the line of First street.
Another matter which makes these
people jubilant, is the recommendation
of the Board of Public Works, acted upon
and confirmed by the Council
in the session of yesterday, to
the effect that the map of First street
now on file, and which has been accepted
as official for many years, be hereafter
accepted as the official map of that
street, and that the existing lines be let
remain as correct.
While dwellers along First street are
80 we'll pleased, those on Second have
found less cause for satisfaction. There
is general and bitter complaint that the
cable road on this street should not be
put in better condition, and that the SER
vice of the line is not maintained in a
higher degree of efficiency.
Then there is great and universal COM
plant that Second street, between Fort
and Main, should not be properly
paved and sidewalked. The beau
tiful Burdick building will soon be
completed, and it will be an ornament,
indeed, to the corner. Then the people
who travel on Second street think the
two blocks referred to should be thor
oughly paved and sidewalked. AS they
are, they are surely disgrace to an
adobe town, and crying shame in
beautiful Los Angeles.

A London Newspaper.

The newspaper of London is a great
institution. Each daily runs up its news
in big card placed in public position
around the city-a new placard for each
edition-all posted over the city like
circus bills. The London Times has one
queer custom. 1t costs six cents per num-
Der, the others but one or two cents.
Large numbers subscribe only to the
sending of the Times a certain hour
daily. A carrier delivers to his reader at
a certain hour, then takes it back and
delivers il to another reader. This costs
but two cents, and begins at six and ends
at twelve, noon. So one paper serves
six persons, and the carrier gets twelve
cents and has the paper left. A carrier
with twenty patrons makes good living.
And this is one of the many thousands
of ways of making a living in a great
city, and shows that cities must grow
greater so long as portion of their peo-
pie are prosperous creators of wealth.
They will need the others to serve them
in some way. He saw wonderful
things in the Times Office. Among 9TH
er things a man sits with telephone to
his ear receiving the debates of parlia-
ment and setting them up with type
setter, played like a type writer; it is
justified by hand, proof read, locked,
sent to the stereotype room for a paper
mache impression and carried to one of
the eight matter presses constantly run
ming. In like manner all the news is
gathered from the street and telephoned
with editorials to the printer.

NEAR THE NECANICUM.
She Uses Cork Stays, but Has Con-
siderable Trouble With Them.

She tripped down to the foamy edge of
the surf and ran.back, screaming prettily
as the water ran up over her toes. And all
the spectators smiled. And then she ran
down again and danced on one toe and
then on the other, and then on both at
once as she got in all the way
up to her ankle. Then she plucked
up all her courage and as a big wave
rolled In she ran to meet it.
1t Hoped her bang up against the
beach, knocked her sailor hat into shape
lessness, and as it receded drew her out
as if she had been a wooden ball. 1t was
almost too much of a good thing, and
she struggled and wiggled and spluttered.
And while she struggled to get a foot
hold another wave seized her and she
donped over on top of it, as light as an
eggshell. Quick as thought came a
third, and she danced over the top OF
that also, and every time she tried to get
on her feet she was whisked back.
Then she realized that she was beauti-
fully floating out to sea, and she sent uI
q scream that startled the bathers near
her. One of them, young and brave and
strong, rushed-for it was too shallow to
swim-to her rescue. He seized her by
the shoulder, but her feet would not down,
and, being wise and thoughtful lad, he
towed her in to shore. She hardly
stopped to say thank you, and with the
red blood of confusion showing in hel
tanned cheeks, rushed away to change
her garments. She might have escaped
with that had she not impaired the
secret of the episode to a friend.
And the secret was this: She was a
prudent girl, with a proper regard fol-
her safety. She had taken out the whale
bones of her corsets and introduced cork
stays, and had put another layer of cork
in her stockings. She had miscalculated
the effect, only to find that while the cork
kept her nicely above water, it quite as
efectually prevented her getting down
also. The story came out, and the CIR
left the Seaside simultaneously yester'
daY.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
tric BitterS. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find re-
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at

NOTHING OFTHE KIND.

Astoria is considerably worked up over
the fact that almost every man and boy
over IL years old is carrying concealed
weapons, and that several shooting
scrapes have happened of late which is
demonstrating that the practice is a dan
gerous one and should be abolished.
Nothing like this goes in Salem.-StGteS-
man, I.
The above is a sample of statements
going the rounds of the state press,
founded on false assertions made in ig-
norance, malice or stupidity. Here, we
all know it to be false, but such published
lies hurt Astoria: people coming into the
state and reading these silly falsehoods
naturally attach some credence to them.
As a matter of fact there is no more
peaceful community in the northwest:
there is no community that can exhibit a
better record. From other parts of the
state which would be invidious to men
ton, come almost daily reports of MUIR
ders, rapes, seductions, shootings, lynch
ings and kindred devilment.
Astoria challenges comparison in this
regard it invites immigration, peaceful,
we'll disposed people, to make their
homes with us and share in our mutual
prosperity, and asks the press of the
seate to pay no attention to stupid and
malicious assertions made for the lowest,
personal purposes.
Those papers who have republished such
statements as the above are respectfully
asked to give publicity to this authentic
and truthful denial.

COMFORT FOR THE LAZY.
Early Rising Not Always Deemed Bene-
fetal.

ALI this talk about early rising is
moonshine. The habit of turning out of
bed in the middle of the night suits some
people; let them enjoy it. But it is only
folly to lay down a general rule upon the
subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all day
after they have risen early every morn
ing. Their energies are deadened, their
imaginations are heavy, their spirits are
depressed.
1t is said you can work SO well in the
morning. Some people can, but others
can work best at night; others, again, in
the afternoon. Long trial and expert
ment form the only conclusive tests upon
these points:
As for getting up early because Pro
fessor All-Gammon has written letters to
the papers proving the necessity of it, let
no one be goose enough to do it.
We all know the model man aged So
81 invariably arise at 5 o'clock; l work
three hours, take a light breakfast
namely, cracker and a pinch of salt
work five hours more; never smoke
never drink anything, but barley water,
eat no dinner, and 60 to bed at O'Clock
in the evening"
If anybody finds that donkeyfed sort
of life suits him, by all means let him
continue it. But few people would care
to live to 80 on these terms. If a man
cannot get all withered and crumpled
up on easier conditions than those, il is
almost as we'll that he should depart
before he Is a nuisance to himself and q
bore to everybody else.
Schoolboys and young. people gener
ally ought to get up early, for it is found
that nine-tenths of them can stand il
and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice
as good a man as he is if he had risen
every morning at daylight. This habit
would kill half of US in less than five
years.-Medical Classics.

WINDOWS GREAT WORK.

ABOUT fifteen years ago the business
necessity which more than any other
pressed heavily upon the government
was that of cheaper transportation from
the western and southern states to the
Atlantic seaboard. The cost of trans
portation was enormous. Farmers were
burning their corn in the western states
for fuel while the price in the east to
those who needed it for fuel, was high.
We had 10000 miles of railroad them
we have 10000 miles now. 1t cost 2
cents per ton per mile to trans
port freight then on our trunk rail-
per mile now. 1t cost 80 cents to trans
port a bushel of grain from Chicago to
New York in 1873, all rail, and 16 cents
now. 1t cost &c cents by lake and rail
then, and only II cents now. 1t was
great problem. One of the biggest this
country ever had to face. A northwest
ern senator took the lead. He had a
committee appointed and was made
chairman of it. A report was made
which stands to-day as the basis for all
subsequent reports. 1t brought together
all the vast and complex facts about the
internal commerce of the country. 1t
revealed TO the country how We had
neglected and treated with apparent
indifference our internal trade, which
was then enormous. The "Report of
transportation Routes to the Seaboard''
was great report, both in itself and
because it was the first report of the
kind ever made. Its influence on legis-
tion in relation to the internal commerce
of the country was tremendous. The
author of the first report and the pio-
neer in this important line of in
quiry, which has brought forth such
splendid results both in legislation and
in reducing the cost of transportation,
was William Window, the present sec
retary of the treasury.
