SHE H A HEROINE.
What II iss Nj. !. norton Endured Tor
a Little Land.

There is nothing IN the personal appear
ance of Miss M. l. Norton, the art iustruc'
tor in st. Helens, Portland, which would
mark her as woman of nerve, but she is
nevertheless. She has just passed through
! an experience which few women wonld
undertake and none but genuine heroine
would complete.
Six months ago she filed pre-emptiOn
on quarter section two and one-h half miles
| from Seaside, built shake house and lived
| there alone for six months. The house was
in wild and uninhabitable part OF the
hills, where bear and panther are plenty.
Miss Norton had to carry all her food from
Seaside, two and one-half miles distant.
Besides the ordinary risks she ran, she was
surrounded by lawless gang of claim
jumpers who endeavored in every way to
intimidate her SO that they could get her
land.
Miss Norton who is a demi- blonde, of
slight wiry build weighing scarcely 100
pounds, modestly tells the following story
Of her residence in the wilderness
"a little over six months ago l got the
land fever and decided that was going to
have some real estate IN my own name, and
! located Oh quarter section OF govern
ment land near Seaside. The house, which
l assisted in building, was made of shakes
and located well up in the mountains, in a
country well timbered and very wild.

side, two and one-half miles distant, and a
good part of the narrow trail was through |

alone the whole six months cultivating my |
land myself, and building what fencing is |
required by the pre-emptIon laws.
1.-The nights were made hideous by the |
howls of bears and panthers and many |
time they nearly scared the life out of me.
l wasn't nearly as much afraid of them as
was of those terrible claim jumpers who
wanted to get my claim. They made all
kinds of threats even against my life in
order to drive Inc off my land. When on
my way to and from Seasile 1 often met
some OF them on the trail. But l never let
them think for a moment that was afraid.
l faced them without tremor when almost
fainting from fright. They used to prowl
aronnd my cabin nights yelling and firing
off their pistols. l finally bought six
shooter, and made up my mind that if they
attempted to carry out any OF their threats
would use it.
''Their prosecutions continued to the last
and when was ready to make my final
proof they got my witnesses drunk and
kept them IN tina. condition for three or
four days. l had to 60 to additional ex-
peDse to get more witnesses. l finally
proved up, though, and l think l will get
ny land without any more trouble.
''It was rough experience for me as l
I'm not used to mountaineering, and If l
lad known at the outset what would have
o endure doubt II l would haye taken up
he land"
County Clerk Trenchard says that her
asst witnesses were all that the law re-
Iuires and that the little lady will in all
get her claim.

INDIA GROWS TEA.
China Il the Second in Production The
Celestiars Monopoly Broken.


Celestiaps Monopoly Broken.
New Orleans Times Democrat
Until about 1850, not only Great Britain,
but every other nation drew its tea supplies
from China. The plant was not grown in
quantity elsewhere, and the belief was that
China's soil and China's climate were alone
suited to its production.
bered by readers of history that the BIRTHS
government had quarrel with the Chi.
nese. whether just or an unjust quarrel
We have not at present time to discuss,
and that the Chinese threw out subdued
threat that if England did not abate hel
demands she would cut short England's
supplies of tea. That if We remember
Alright, was in 1854 The English govern.
ment took no apparent heed of the threat
at the moment, but obviously the threat
was neither disregarded or forgotten. This
we may judge from the fact that while in
1854 China enjoyed q monopoly Of the tea
supply, ten years later she did not have
that monopoly, while twenty-five years
later she had pretty vigorous rival.
Thus:
1854 1854. 1872
China, pounds. 64,270.0o0 S5s00,000 126, $40 o0c
1ndia............ -......-.. 2.S00,000 S4,O02 OOC
And passing on . few years further still,
the rivalry becomes so strong that moi
only does the Fowery Kingdom no longer
possess q tea monopoly, but 1t has been
passed in the race and will probably in q
few years cease to sell tea to England or to
any other nation entirely. Here:
