What Was II?

That is about the conundrum May
Howard, propounded at the opera
honse last evening, a good show well
shown. Miss Howard the clever per
former, is evidently possessed by un-
known power-human or otherwise
as she demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the large audience that greeted her
Spiritualistic power is all she claims,
and her mind reading is the best we
ever saw, the naturalization of beau
tiful flowers, created great applause
and was a great surprise to everybody

Land in Tacoma is very high, rang
ing in price from 800 to $4,000 per
lot. No lot is offered for sale within
the city for less than S1,500. Nearly
all of the lots are 25 by 120 feet. The
country extending back, probably four
miles, is all divided into city lots
which sell from $500 to $1,000 per
lot. Not a foot of land can be
bought 'on the point of land on
which Tacoma is situated for less
than $500 per acre, and out at Ameri-
can lake, twelve miles distant, they
ask 81 900 an acre for land. Fortunes
have been made in these lands within
the last few years. To illustrate. one
man has tract of 160 acres which he
obtained from the government as a
homestead, not paying one cent for it,
and now he refuses $500 per acre, or
$4,000 for the tract, and this change
of values has occurred within the last
seven years. There are residents in
Tacoma, who five years ago were poor
men, now worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, all acquired through
the increased value of lands.

A Large State Claim TO Re Allowed.

From Major Lowell, assistant secre-
tary of state, THE AsToRIAN learns
that the commonwealth is in fail
way to receive $3.50 900 long due from
the federal government to the state.
This S350,0O0 represents the aggregate
of a war debt, that the state assumed
some years ago. This war debt repre-
sented Oregon's quota, and was paid
by Oregon, bonds being issued and
warrants for the amount of those
bonds having been paid. Secretary
Mcbride and assistant secretary Low.
ell have Just finished the job of col
lecting the proofs of the payment o.
those bonds. and forwarded the claims
with such proof of payment to the
general government department o.
claims. 1t is not believed that there
will be any delay in the payment OF
this claim.

The Bark "COlOma.'
GEO. w. MCBRIDE.
Secretary OF State.

The bark COlOmG, Noyes master,
goes to China to-day, with miscella-
neous assortment of freight, including
about 100 Cinnamon.
There is one Chinaman named Linn
Phun, who has white wife and fous
alf-and-half children. He is neither
fish nor flesh, and not being allowed
in the cabin, and not choosing to
herd with the ordinary Mongolians,
he has had Captain Noyes build him a
little house on deck, and there he is.
Upon the COLOmG'S arrival yester-
day, sheriff Smith, armed with a
capias aud Il habeas corpus and a
mandamus and mittimus and a quo
warranto and a whole lot of such
things, went on board and secured
two Chinese maidens, named All Wan
and All Toy, about whom there is
legal squabble. Judge Shattuck some
time ago gave them In custody of
an aged Mongolian on behalf of the
An Tai company. The ladies' aid
society of Portland denied the a. NJ. IS
light to the girls and after the COlOmG
left Portland got an order from the
court instructing the sheriff to keep
possession of them till the matter
comes up for final adjudication. The
old Chinaman is nearly crazy, but
sheriff Smith took the girls off the YES
sci and holds them to await the dis
position of the court.
To one unacquainted with the in-
side of the case it looks as though
the girls might as well be allowed to
go to China as to remain in this coun-
try. 1t amounts to the same thing IN
the long run, or the short run, 50 far
as the girls are concerned.

The man who talks well of his town,
and works for the good of his town,
speaks and works for his own well be-
ing. The man who talks i'll Of his
town and disparagingly of its people,
talks and works for his own undoing.
A man in business should not only
have interest, but confidence i'll that
business. A stranger coming into a
city and finding a feeling of interest
and confidence prevailing, at once be-
comes impressed with a faith which
will not be put aside, even If he at
tempts to do SO. Sooner or later he
will, it is probable, return and cast his
fortunes and future with that place
and that manner of people. The man
who doubts, discusses and damns his
neighbors, is not true friend of the
community in which he lives.
Last evening VIM. Lane, who is
working for James w. Welch, was
coming home from Bear creek in a
Whitehall boat, where he had been to
repair some of the pipes for the water
company. When near Tongue point,
the boat capsized, throwing him into
the river. He managed to get onto the
bottom of the boat, bat becoming
cold and numb he soon lost his senses.
He was picked up by some men, who
luckily happened to be passing in a
fishing boat, and taken to McGregor's
mill at upper Astoria. 1t was found
that his right foot was sprained. He
was sent to his room and medical aid
summoned, as he was wild with delir-
ium, shouting and spreading out his
arms and legs as if in the act of swim
ming. Later on he got somewhat
calmer, and at last accounts was rest
ing easily. At the time the boat cap
sized a shotgun and a kit of tools
were in the boat which, of course
were lost.

This is an epoch of experiment
alike in art, science and religion.
Among recent amusing experimental
eseavs in religion, is the Smoking Ser
vice of Rev. DR.. PARKER in London.
One of these has recently been held.
The experiment involves nothing
more or less than a novel form of SER
vice to which workingmen bring their
pipes and their dinner pals, and re-
ceive with The r smoke and "bit to
at" such spiritual or moral insiruc-
ton as the preacher is prepared to
furnish. DIR. Parker has succeeded
with the London toilers. An inter
esting feature of the first smoking SER
vice in the City Temple was the ques-
tons of the workingmen. One man
wanted to know whether the primate
Of the English Established Church
earned his salary, and another asked
for information on a subject on which
many Americans have desired EN-
iightenment. His query Was, "Oughi
Lord Lonsdale to have the patronage
of fifty-seven church livings" and
the omniscient doctor Was puzzled to
answer We are sorry he was puz,
zIed. He might easily; have answered
that when a rake has the power to
run so much religion, he can be war
ranted to run so much of it and some
more into The ground.
