PORTLAND, Oct. 9.-The trial of E.
Gross, the barkeeper who shot John
Miller In the eye during barroom
row on August 4, was tried TO-DAY.
The case went to the jury late.
E. j. Bryant and VIM. Higley have
been arrested for trespassing on land
alleged to belong to the Sisters of the
Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, on
ThOs. g. Robinson's donation land
claim. Defendants allege that they
had had the land surveyed and find it
to belong to them.
This morning Judge Stearns made
an order confirming the sale of the
contents of the Holiday mansion on
Third and Stark streets, and 1,O5O
shares of stock of the Oregon Trans
fer company. It is authentically
stated that James Gleason, the pur-
chaser of the stock Is ready to pay for
it so soon as it is delivered to him,
and that will be done at once.
Yesterday suit for partition of prop
erty for an undivided half of certain
real estate In Astoria, was transferred
from Clatsop county courts to the
United States circuit court. The
case is John Fox and A. l.. Fox VS..
ID. ID. Wass, of San Francisco. The
property came to the litigants by way
of bequest.
On the Both of last August, Mrs. Lo=
retta Henly was sitting in a buggy
near Beaverton, when another vehicle
driven by Robert Patton, drove into
hers, and she alleges that the collision
resulted in the permanent loss of her
health. She instituted suit against
Patton for 1900 damages. The case
went to trial before Judge Shattuck,
and has not gone to the jury yet.
Among the new suits fled ia the
circuit court last, yesterday afternoon,
was one of DIR. Powell Reeves, against
Nat. l.. Baker and others, publishers
of the Oregon Times, asking damages
in the sum of $4,000 for injury to his
good name and credit as a physician.
The suit is based upon an article ap-
pearing in the Times on the 9Th inst,
which says that the doctor is no phys
lcian, but tampers with human life by
protesting skill, which he does not
possess. The article is a severe one,
hence there is no wonder that the doc
tor feels aggrieved.

1T is often laughingly remarked in
England that Canada must have a
vast deal'of legislation to attend to,
since she finds it necessary to have
fifty-six Legislators more than the
mother country, and so many depart
mental heads that no Canadian out
side of politics can tell their number.
The Canadian house of commons con-
sists of 215 members, who draw 81 900
per session, and the senate, which has
little to do except to look wise, has
eighty members who receive $1,000
each annually. The speakers of each
house of the immensely overpaid ma
tional legislature receive $4,000 annu-
ally; the Ontario members and speak
ers, $56,000; the Quebec legislative
council, Legislature and the two speak
ers, $4,000. Then the country is sad
died with a governor-general, who re-
ceives $4,000 annually and spends as
little as possible in the country, send
ing to England for even the smallest
articles of daily wear and consump-
ton. His chief business seems to be
not to comply with the wishes of the
people whenever he has a chance
to show his authority. There are
also lieutenant governors of
Quebec and Ontario and Man.
itoba, Nova Scotia, New Bruins
wick, the northwest territories and
Prince Edward island. each of whom
receive larger salary than is given
to the chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States. And as
fringe around this circle of costly
officials, many of whom are utterly
useless, there is a small army of paid
aides -de-camp, secretaries, ETC., who
have abundant perquisites. The idea
of country like the Dominion hav-
ing forty ty-seven, political ministers
is certainly somewhat absurd.

AN ADVERSE OPINION.

ELSEWHERE will be found an opin-
ion of Mr.. RockwelIs submitted to
the superintendent of the U. S. coast
and geodetic survey. The author of
this opinion appears to be hasty in his
Judgment and superficial in his obser-
vation.
The only exact data he submits is
what he secured from the engineer in
charge of the work of construction OF
the Astoria and South Coast road. -
The rest is all assumption, and in
making his report he omits to separate
avowed facts from individual opin-
ion.
His opinion that the draw of 10 feel
il too narrow is in opposition to the
unanimous report of the unpreiudiced
commission composed of experienced
men who. examined it, who thought
that ITO feet was ample for present
and possible requirements.
Mr.. Rockwell furnishes further
evidence of superficial observation
where he says he didn't have time 10
get the depth of water in the channe l.
Probably, in his haste, he was also
unable to devote an hour to riding
around the point and noting the con-
formation of the country, where he
thinks the. road ought to 60, entailing
an additional and unnecessary ex-
pense of 100000, if his advice were
followed
He thinks that driving piles may
develop a soft silt bottom" But will
not the erection of docks and wharyes
do the same? And, in any case, when
commerce grows there, will not dredg-
ing be necessary?
Mr.. Rockwell's reference to fire and
pottery clay is suggestive of the source
of his opinion.
But fortunately for the success of
the railroad, Mr.. RS report is of no
weight and can not result seriously or
adverse to the railroads interest.
The water in question, lying wholly
within state limits is under exclusive
state control, and the federal gov
ernment can not, even If it desired,
interpose any insuperable objections
to the present course of the railroad
bridge across Young's bay.
While Mr.. Rockwelrs desire to be
just and impartial, and furnish cor
rect report is not to be questioned, his
manner of doing SO might mislead dis
tant officials not acquainted with the
facts. Unwittingly, perhaps, but no
less certainly, he has given aid and
comfort to the ancient army of OBJ
structionists who are the only ones
who place any reliance on the report
published elsewhere, so, far as it re.
lates to the matter of location OF the
railroad bridge across Young's river.

Ofsetting Ideas.

The English anti-suffrage women
have done good service by calling out
much comment. The Salem Observer
says: I'm England the cause Of woman
suffrage has in some respects made
greater advances than in this country.
Its opponents are in their last ditch, so
to speak, and the contest for impartial
privileges is well on towards success
The opponents say: Suffrage should
not be forced upon women" To this
very proper sentiment nearly every
body will agree. We certainly do not
know Of any advocate of woman suf-
frage who could dissent from it. Suf-
frage should not be forced upon women,
neither should it be forced upon men.
In this respect there should be equality
of exemption as between the sexes.
Suffrage should not be forced upon
women who do not want it. Good.
Now, again. suffrage should not be
withheld from women who do want it.
Good also. One idea is as good as the
other. and both almost exhaust the
subject But not quite. for, after all,
there are political duties as we'll as
rights; and every man ought to be
willing to help a good government by
casting his vote for good men, SO wom-
en- should be expected to take their
share of their great responsibility. One
of these days they will see it in this
light -WOman's Journal

1t will be seen that if there be in1us-
tice to women in this particular matter
of necessaries, it is not so much the
law itself as the Interpretation of it in
a given case by the jury: 1t is the jury
the twelve men who theoretically
represent the average sentiment OF the
COMMUNICATIVE have the power to
say what is necessary for . wife to
have and to wear. The community is
supposed to voice itself through jury
chosen from among the community.
But how can twelve men represent the
sentiment of a community composed OF
men and women, especially in matter
where woman's proper clothing and
maintenance are in question? Would
not the presence Of six women on the
jury insure a more intelligent verdict
in such a case?

5 Woman and the State.

Rev. Henry Blanchard. of Maine. in
a recent speech. said: II want to give
you word of exhortation: Make this
work for woman suffrage part of your
religion. For l believe that God de-
signs woman to have and fill her right
place in the universe. There is much
nonsense talked about a woman's going
outside of her home, the fact being that
the State has as many just demands
upon her as the family. Woman as a
child of God is bound to work with
man for the benefit of the State, in Or
der that the family may share in these
benefits. As child of God woman
ought to stand by man as co-worker
with him in the extirpation Of the evils
of the world.

DEEP SEA CURIOSITlES.
An Interesting Collection from the Core
nado Islands.

An Interesting Collection from the Coro-
nado Islands.
The marine collection at the light
house has been enlarged by yacht
load of sea urchins, abelones, starfish.
masses, eggs and seal skins which Harry
Israel, the son of the keeper. brought
in the other day from a cruise around
the Coronado Islands. He was accom-
panied by Henry Gerrul, of Ballust
Point. and they remained a week, fish
ing, collecting and hunting.
Israel said that he and Gerrul Sc
cured fifty hair-seals in one day. They
shot the large ones and killed the young
ones with clubs. There are three seal
rookeries on the rock points OF the
west side of the west island and two on
the east island. Israel. who has OBJ
served their habits, says that they are
clannish, and that the seals OF one
rookery never mix with the others.
The females are covered with a fine
hair, while that of the males is much
coarser. The color of the young is
dark drab, but the old ones are brown
ish yellow. When the breeding season
is over the sea-bulls disappear and do
not return until the next spring.
Where they go to is mystery that has
never been explained. They swallow
a quantity of small stones for ballast.
which remains in the false stomach or
ballast bag" as the sailors call it,
until they return, when they spit them
out. Mrs. Israel has number of these
greenish cobbles at her museum. A
bucketful is about the quantity of stones
required to ballast an ordinary seal.
Mr. Israel said the west island was Of
solid rock with coating of loan on
the west side. 1t was there that they
found the mutton" birds, which bur-
row like a mole in the ground and come
out only at night. After it became
dark the explorers listened for the
whirr of the birds, and when it came
they struck out at random with stones
and sticks, and when they heard some
thing futter on the rocks would know
that they had been successful The
bird is a trifle larger than quail, and
has short. stubby wings, resembling
those of penguin. They are nearly
black with some white on the breast
and towards the tail Their legs are
short, and the beak is longer than the
quaira Their flesh is said to be pal
atable, but the eggs only were tried.
They are pullet-size and white, and
Israel said were the best sea-fowl eggs
he ever tasted. He brought number
of them. and also the eggs of the gull
and shag.
In a cave on the west island he found
a new kind of sea urchin, very beautiful
and numerous. Instead of the usual
purple and black colors it was brown
ish red and was some four inches in di-
ameter. He also found an abelone the
size OF brown bean, which is much
smaller than the least in the nest at the
lighthouse
Mr.. Israers formula for tanning the
skin of hair-seals is to first soak them
in a solution of alum and salt. They
then must be tackled up against fiat
surface with the inner side out. and
have to be scraped daily for ten days in
order to get off all the blubber.

HANDY NARROWING,
why the Harrow Should BE Kept Up Close
With the PIow.

Why tho Harrow Should BE Kept Up Close
With the PIow.
In blowing stubble-ground for wheat
a writer well says that to insure a de-
sirable, firm seed-bed, with fine filth of
the upper portion of the soil, the land
should be narrowed as fast as plowed.
Most good wheat land contains con-
siderable proportion of clay, which
usually turns up more or less lumpy.
and exposure to sun and wind a few
days renders the Jumps so hard it is
difficult to crush them with any imple-
ment; hence it is advisable that the
harrow keep up close with the pillow.
A thoughtful neighbor accomplishes
this with little or no expense. He
keeps two plows running witt. horse
teams while yoke of oxen is attached
to the harrow. The latter is allowed
to cover four burrows, SO the oxen ac-
company the horses every second
round, giving them needed and fire.
quent rest in this hot weather. The
plowmen keep six burrows ahead of the
cattle; so when the latter are at work
two burrows intervene between the
harrow and the last plowman, just the
right distance for him to manage the
oxen. They have learned so well what
is required of them that it is rarely
necessary to speak to them. They
turn when the horses do and keep just
the same distance opposite their driver
all the time. The harrow can cover
eight burrows, but taking only four
fresh ones at time, it really gives the
field two harrowings. Some portions
of the field plowed up very lumpy, but
this timely and thorough narrowing
made all fine at no expense except the
service of the cattle. for it was no det-
riment to drive them. Besides max
ing good seed-bed, it is satisfaction
to the owner to know that the work is
kept up even all the time. -Galen Will

Over one hundred students have been

The list Of ladies in favor OF woman
suffrage is more representative than
the list of those opposed. as we'll as

WOMEN as Inspectors of Custom in
New York, have proved success
Their employment in the ex-
animation of the baggage and
persons of women passengers is very
appropriate, and they have displayed
much detective skill. The names OF
fifty-two candidates for positions as In
spectors have been published by the
Custom House authorities. They have
all passed the Civil Service examina-
ton.
WOMAN's SUFFRAGE does not lose in
the new State constitutions In North
and South Dakota, Washington and
Idaho school suffrage is accorded to
women; and in Montana, upon all ques-
lions submitted to the vote of tax-pay-
ers women taxpayers can vote. In
South Dakota and Washington it is pro-
vided that the question of giving women
full suffrage shall be referred to a spe-
cial vote of the people, and women
now voters can vote on the question.

SWEDEN would seem to be country
after the heart of the most pronounced
advocate of woman's rights. Women
are there employed in all the vacations
which ordinarily are conceded to be
the peculiar property of mankind. Ev-
cry Swedish girl not born to wealth is
taught a trade of some kind. and it is
now triumphantly announced that
Swedish women will shortly receive
equal political rights with their hus-
bands and other male relatives.
THE Nation, in an article on The
Politics of English Women" calls at
tention to the fact that while English
women of the highest social standing
take great deal more interest in poll
tics than American women do, many of
them are opposed to woman suffrage
The reason is easily arrived at Should
the suffrage be extended so as to in
clude women as class. these high
bred ladies would lose their influence
in politics and count less than many
women of the best character with whom
they have not the least sympathy
