ORE IN THE PARKER!
There Is No BaselesS RumOr About
the Report this Time.

The people of Eetchum have been
feeling highly elated, since yesterday
noon, over the news from the Parker,
which is to the effect that vein Of
first class gray copper ore carrying
only three per cent. of galena, has
been cut into on the lowest level Of
the Parker, Chunks of the ore and
thorough samples of the new dis
covery have been brought to ket-
chum and handed about and assayed.
They were found to carry $40 ounces
silver. The ore is therefore Of the
high grade for which the Parker is so
famous, and as the vein has every
indication of being permanent one
the leasers, w. II. Watt and Sam
Allen, are to be congratulated. The
ore vein is said to be two-and.a-half
feet wide.

The bills all have to contain pro-
visions to assume portions of our in
debtedness proportioned to the valve
of the taxable property thus cut off.
But the trouble is that large pro.
portion Of outside property has es-
capped taxation altogether; while that
on Wood River, being known, has
been assessed up to very nearly the
full value.

The Origin OF Pottery.

Grant Allen suggested that the evo.
luton OF pottery may be traced to the
gourds OF various forms used by the
primitive savages for containing water.
The gourds were probably smeared
with wet clay to protect them when

thus produced, outasting the inner

experiment goes, the evidence seems
to be in favor Of the application Of
the latter, while, on the other hand,

farmers Is on the side of farm yard
manure. The settlement of the
question must depend to some extent

THE MONEY MARKET.

from 2la to 6 Per Cent.

from 21a to Per Cent.
Bradstreet's for week ending Jan.
uary 10, 1880: "Loaning rates at
New York show the infuerce Of the
tendency Of money to accumulate at
this center. The large increase in
the bank surplus reserve last week
was indicative of the return Of funds
from the South and West. An in
crease in the prices paid by the
Treasury for A per cent. bonds was
also taken to mean that the efforts to
keep the surplus down will be more
energetic. While the buying of
bonds has already commenced to be
large, the accumulation of idle funds
in banks and trust companies reaches
considerable proportions. The dull
ness of the stock market, however,
and the apparent indisposition of the
public to enter the speculative field,
tends to reduce demands for money.
The European money markets are
now upon an easy basis, which has it's
influence here, and commercial re-
euircments are by no means large
enough to affect the easing-off process
here.
"Call loans were consequently easy.
Bankers balances on the New York
Stock Exchange loaned at from 2 tc

CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

From an examination Of the bill
now before the legislature at Salem
amending the charter of this city, 1t
appears that it is mainly the same as
that drafted and discussed two years
ago. The additions are clause del
egating jurisdiction to the police
Judge and directing that the fees IN
such cases shall inure to the incum-
bent, and q clause providing that
when a street is accepted 10y the city,
it shall be kept up and maintained by
general taxation.
THE AsToRIAN does not believe, un-
der existing circumstances, that the
clause relative to maintaining streets
from the general fund is good one
for the city.
If there were no allowance for in
debtedness, THE AsToRIAN would un-
qualifiedly endorse the idea, which is
good one, in theory. But asmatters
are allowed to run in this city, the
result of such change will be that
large property-holders will have the
streets in front of their premises kept
up by owners of small pieces of prop.
erty. For this reason The AsToRIAN
believes that unless the indebted
ness" clause in the general assess,
ment law is abolished by the legisla
ture, that clause regarding the gen
eral maintenance of streets in this city
should be stricken out of the bill tC
amend the charter of the city.

The tin plate industry Is now con.
suming 100000 tons of EnGiis,t iron
and steel a year that would be useless
for the same purpose if it were not
coated with tin. In 1885 there were
ninety-six tin plate works, with 500
rolling machines, and the mean pro-
duction of each machine was ninety
six barrels per day. During the same
year the production was 100000 bar
rels, 100000 of which were for ex-
portation. The manufacture of fruit
and meat cans is enormous. Three
million barrels give S75,000,000 of
these. 1t is due to them that the en-
tire world receives from the far west
salmon from Oregon, mutton from the
plains of Australia, fruits of all sorts
from California, Holsters from Massa-
chusetts and Nova Scotia, oysters and
peaches from Baltimore, sardines and
green peas from France, pineapples
from the Mauritius islands, apricots
from Lisbon, milk from Switzerland,
preserves from Tasmania, and a host
OF products from foreign climes.
These boxes have become a necessity
to modern civilization.

stronger, but the old principle that a
chain is no stronger than its weakest
link comes into consideration. Most
timbers have knots in them or are
sawed at angle to the grain, SO that
they will split diagonally under a COM
paratively light load. In a built-up
timber no large knots can weaken the
beam, except so much of it as is CON-
posed Of one plank, and planks whose
grains run diagonally will be
strengthened by the other pieces
spiked to it.

THE POINT OF VIEW.

So much of opinion in this world
depends upon the point of view,
From its point of view the Orego-
nian objects to the objection of THE
AsToRIAN that the present pilot bill is
sinister and sectional" The Orego-
ntan thinks that that phrase is with
out meaning" All from its point OF
view.
The Oregonian'S editor is certainly
sufficient of philologist to see that
the words sinister" and sectional, ~
from our point of view, aptly qualify
the motive of the bill that he cham
pions. These words exactly express
the meaning of The Historian in
using them.
Let us be exact. Because the ed
itor of the OregoniGn dissents from
our belief gives him no right of rea-
son to cavil with the English that we
correctly and intelligently use in what
is meant to be courteous argument.
But waving the ethics of diction,
the Oregonian asserts that our charge
regarding the Portland ring is "a
mere generality" This, also, from its
point of view. Is it 'a mere general
ity," that ship that paid $500 towage
from the sea to Portland and return,
should pay SS43 to commission mer-
chants, brokers, officials, etc, in Port
land? This has been shown to have
been done in the last sixty days.
From our point of view this is not
"a mere generality" but constitutes a
very important part of the whole ques-
ton. If the Oregonian is sincere it
will agree with US that an inland
charge on one vessel almost equaling
In amount its entire towage charge is
an onerous tax on commerce, and q
matter that very properly belongs in
the discussion.
But the OregoniGn considers that 10
be "a mere generality, its
point of view.
