PERHAPS HIS NAME Is PAINTED on 1T.

How hard to get rid of that cheap old
umbrella,
Of faded brown cotton so shapsless
and queer!
1t stands in the hall. Could it speak it
could tell
Strange story of travels for many a
year.
1t is always brought back, no matter who
borrows.
The young or the aged, the great or
the small,
The seasons pass by, with their joys and
their sorrows,
But that old umbrella meier changes at
all;
That cotton umbrella, that faded UNI
brella,
That tough old umbrella:that stands in
the hall.
I've lent it to friends with the earnest
petition
That when they had used it they'd
throw it away.
They have always returned it in normal
condition,
And go through the years it continues
can't shake it off. It adheres like
plaster,
summer and fall.
1 cave. Let it stay. In my house I'm
the master
Of all save that type of inanimate gall,
That faded umbrella, that cotton UNI
breIla,
That measly umbrella that stands in
the hall.
-Erchnnqe,
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1889-01-26
Huntington's Newspaper Ventures.

Mr.. Huntington favored me with
the entire history of his connection
with the New York Star, in the
course of which l became convinced
that he does not aspire to be q
newspaper man. The credit system
of doing business is considered so
honorable in the commercial world
that the memory of William Dorshei-
mer cannot be offended If l relate
single incident associated Herewith.
I got it from a Broadway banker.
Mr.. Dorsheimer who lived only few
doors from Mr.. Huntington, was ac-
customed to drop in and see the lat
ter about once week. On certain
evening he seemed to be IN great dis
tress and Mr.. Huntington jumped to
the conclusion that his agitation was
caused by financial troubles. AS the
editor arose to go the Forty-niner
said to him: "Dorsheimer, if you
think you can sleep any better by
knowing that you can have $4,000 of
my money to throw away tomorrow
I'll write you check for that amount
this minute And suiting the action
to the word he opened the check
book that lay upon the library table
and wrote check for $4,000 on the
Merchants National bank. Mr.. Dor
sheimer did sleep better with the lit
tie piece of yellow paper under his
pillow. All told, he borrowed S42, 900
from Mr.. Huntington to sink in the
Star, and l have it on the highest
authority that seventy-five other men
in this city lent him from time to
time sums ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000. In round numbers the de-
crepitude of the Star forced HIM to
borrow 100000. These creditors are
the present owners of the paper.
Some of them are millionaires. One
of them bought stock in the Star be-
cause he got the impression that Mr..
Huntington was doing so. AS the
abandonment of the paper meant a
loss to each of these men, they con-
cluded to form a company and con-
tinue the publication, either to lose a
little more or to get back everything.
Said Mr.. Huntington: Il told them
to 60 ahead and do as they liked; If
they could make anything out of it
for me, all right; if they couldn't, all
right. I would not lend money to any
body if 1 had to go and look after it.
The stock is not worth a barleycorn
to me so far as 1 know. I've never
been near the Office and don't even
know who is the managing editor of
the paper" "The newspaper bust
ness," Mr.. Huntington continued, "is
a great business for those who under
stand it. 1 know nothing about it.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

Why should the state Of Oregon
contribute to the water works of
Portland? The OTegOniGn thinks
the exemption of Portland bonds sim
liar to government bonds. But the
interest on q. s. bonds is paid by the
whole of the United States and the
smaller the interest the less tax to be
raised from the whole country. To ex-
empt state bonds would be similar,
but to exempt Portland bonds is a
local matter, for the benefit of Port
land, not the state at large. If the
bonds should be taken by Portland
capitalists the law will be giving
them special exemption and Lprivi-
leges not allowed to other loaners.
II the bonds are taken out of the state
then they will be beyond the tax
ing power of the state and
should sell for as large premiums
without special law as with it. 1t
looks as though the money loaners of
Portland wanted to invest, or the in
surance and other corporations Of
Portland were looking for good home
investments and have unfair competi-
tive powers with the lenders and cor
porations of other parts Of the state.
Multnomah county escapes enough
Of its state tax now without making
special exemptions. If such exemp-
tions are to be made, make it general
and exempt all credits.
