New blood. New brains. New men!
The Senate which meets on Monday will
be practically strange to the people. Half
OF its members have not been in Office more
than two years and there are sixteen Sena-
tors who take their seats in the Chamber
for the first time. The old men of the Mil
lionaires club are passing away. There is
not enough white hair left in the body to
stuff pin cushion and most of the new
Senators are under fifty. Many of them
are poor, many of them have strange histo-
ries, and altogether they form most in
teresting set of congressional curiosities.
TWO SENATORIAL BABIES.
Some of the brightest of the young men
come from the west and two of these are
10 young that they are hardly out of their
short clothes. Dubois of Idaho and Hans
brough Of Dakota are the babes Of the Sen

In the House, and Hansbrough was editing
a paper at Devils Lake when the state of
North Dakota was admitted, and he became
its first Congressman. Both Dubois and
Hansbrcugh were born in Illinois. Hans
brough's parents were poor and he got his
education in the printing Office. He left
Illinois after learning his trade and went
TO California There be published daily
at San Jose and worked for time on the
San Francisco Chronicle. He was news
editor Of the Chronicle in 1879 and left it to
go to Wisconsin and edit the Baraboo Bull
lctin. From Wisconsin he went to
North Dakota about nine years ago and he
comes to the Senate as the successor of Gil
Pierce. He is a straight, clean cut rosy
checked young man with red mustache
which looks for az the world like that of
Dan Lamont. He weighs ABOUT hundred
and fifty pounds, has good address and is
fair type of the practical young business
man of the west. He still owns his paper
at Devils Lake and varies his congressional
work by writing editorials for it.
Dubois is a younger man thon Hans
brough. He weighs twenty pounds less
and he is a brunette while Hansbrough is
a strawberry blonde. Dubois parents
were well TO do and he received good ed

a nose frorn . Cats RIBS.

A Decatur young woman has recently
been operated upon successfully in a
manner that will excite surgeons. The
patient is young woman who, when a
child, had her nose broken, and as q re-
suit of the decay of the bones the bridge
of the nasal organ had been completely
lost. The patient was etherized and a
transverse inci6on about three quarters
of an inch long made directly between
the eyes, extending down the bone. A
small chisel WAS then introduced and all
the soft parts separated from the bones,
from the top of the nose to the forehead,
and about one inch on either side of the
mediar line out on the checks.
When this had been done half grown
cat was quickly chloroforned and pieces
Of four ribs, each two inches in length,
were taken from its side, rapidly cleaned
of al superfuous flesh and then inserted
into the wound so that they raised up
the skin, thus forming q good solid
bridge. The wound healed in four OF
five days. and the slight scar Is almost
invisible. Decatur nls.) Ger. New York

Mystical Music.

1t is pretty generally known that N
the Psscagoula river, near Scranton,
Miss, strange sounds are frequently
heard as of a musical instrument played
at a distance under the water. Boating
parties are often startled at the distinct
ness of the music. They iken it to the
sounds produced by the vibration of mu-
sical glasses or of harpstrings. The
sound rises and falls as if waited by the
wind, and is locally known as 1.-THE mys-
terious music" The origin of the sound
is generally ascribed to a movement of
sand at the bottom of the river, although
there Is no evidence offered that the
sand does move or any reason given why
it should move.
The explanation, doubtless, rests upon
the fact that such phenomenon as
singing or barking sand Is known to ex-
ist in several parts of the world. It is
not likely that wet sand would produce
the sounds mentioned. It is more prob
able that fish make these noises, for
fish can sing very nicely, too. 1t seems
rather funny to speak of singing fish,
bat many Of them do certainly produce
vocal sounds. Croalzers get their names
from the noise they make. Blue6sh
protest indignantly when they are pulled
out of the water, but these are not such
sounds as constitute the music OF tht

Referring to an article which lately
appeared in the CHRONICLE urging the
propriety and Importance of the portage
road around the Cello Falls being built
on this side the river so as to make The
Dalles the terminus of system which
would control the traffic of the magnifi-
cent agricultural county of Sherman as
well the Fossil coal fields and the coun-
try tributary 10 the road now being sur
veyed by Mr.. Norton the Wasco Observer
says:
Were the road to cross the Deschutes
the ascent from the mouth of that river
to Biggs is very gradual and road could
easily be extended, by keeping south of
the sand near Biggs, to meet the Spanish
Hollow Canyon, up which there is a very
practicable route to Wasco. The eleva-
ton of Wasco is not more than 1000 feet
which would average 100 feet to the
mile. After reaching Wasco the road
could take southeasterly direction to
meet either the Grass Valley canyon or
HAY Canyon, both of which routes are
easv. As the CHRONICLE represents, this
matter is of as much Importance to the
business men of The Dalles as it is TO the
people of Sherman county. A consider
able share of the trade of this county
goes to- The Dalles; our interests are
Identical with theirs and it behooves us
to work together. By joint action we
may secure this much needed aid to oul
present insufficient transportation SER

Bret H.rte,s Literary seciusion.


Unlike many authors, Bret Harte
never does an ambitious piece of literary
work amid the din of the city. When
ever the plot of story gets thoroughly
crystalhzed in his mind he repairs to a
quiet suburban retreat just outside of
London, and there he works. And in
this little nook the. author is at present
hard at work upon a new story of con-
siderable length. Only few of his
closest friends know the whereabouts of
his cave of seclusiou, and even these he
has never asked to join him there. The
novelist works steadily when he is in Sc
clusion, and stops only for an hours
walk every day. When at work his diet
is a very frugal one; he retires early and
is up just after dawn, working often sew
eral hours before he has his morning
coffee, eggs and rolls. For two months
he viii keep himself thus secluded, then,
returning to London, he places his manu-
script in the hands of his publisher and
considers his work done, for Bret Harte
hates proofreading. Edward w. Bok's

THE MECCA OF THE POOR NAN.

1t cannot thought singular that with
all the great influx of immigration from
the poverty stricken states of Nebraska
and Kansas and the. frozen-out cyclone
cursed regions of the Dakota's the dis
trict of country tributary to The Dalles
should have received but little addition
to its population. This emigration is
all drifting TO the Willamette Valley and
obvious. These places, especially the
Sound country, have been advertised and
doomed in the east by emigration bur-
eaus and real estate dealers, while next
to nothing has ever been done outside
the local papers to make known to the
world the vast resources and cheap agri-
cultural lands of Eastern Oregon. And
vet it is simple fact that to a farmer OF
moderate means who wishes to own and
not rent the land he cultivates, this
country possesses many advantages over
the two places named. In the VILLAIN
ette Valley and Sound countries there is
no government land left except what is

literally to thew out farm" for himself,
while in the meantime he must, during
many weary year, procure the means
of subsistence as best he can by working
at the fisheries and around- logging
camps. For an old man such a prospect
is hopeless; for young man there is the
prospect that if life holds out long
enough, by the time he is old and stiff
and rheumatic through exposure to a
merciless rainfall of six months duration
yearly, and incessant toll, sufficient land
may be cleared for truck patch or to
plant a few acres of fruit trees or to raise
few tons of clover or timothy, amid
the blackened stumps of his little clear
ing. Not so in Eastern Oregon. There
are still thousands of acres of prairie
lands "lying out doors" that the settler
can procure from the government under
the homestead laws or purchase at low
figures AMI easy terms from land, grant
companies, where the settler has nothing
to do but fence the land and commence
blowing. On the other hand the mar
who has means to purchase improved
lands can always find some one willing
to sell and to such perhaps no othel
country elsewhere offers such attraction

is SO except the one already given
namely. this country has never made al
effort to create boom, or make itsel
known to the outside world. Farmer
who settled here were generally conten
to remain, and especially in those sec
tions devoted chiefly to the range, new
corners were not wanted. And yet
remains true that man with littl
means can find the best land at the low
est price and the best and healthies
climate on earth in this same Easter
Oregon.
