The Astorian says The Dalles, Portland
& Astoria Navigation company is con-
templating the purchase of the Whining
ton and placing her on the route be-
tween Portland and San Francisco.
That's nothing. According to the TeIe-
gram Portland is going to submit to a
committee of Dalles school boys the
question of opening the Columbia river
and it is reported here that the D. P. &
A. n. company is going to put steamer
on the Willamette to relieve the necessi-
ties of the poor people of that valley.

Melbourne, the great Australian rain
wizard, is under contract with the peo-
pie of Goodland, Kas., to produce rain.
But it now looks as if he would have to
pay forfeit, and retire from the rain
making business, as far as that section
of the country is concerned. Every day
for the last week his experiments have
been prevented by high winds. If the
wind would only go down, he says,
everything would be all right, and he
would give the Goodlanders such rain
as they never saw before. A man who
can produce rain ought to be able to reg
ulate the wind, and the Goodland people
may as well demand the forfeit.

When Mike kept the great Stockman' IS

years ago, q big-footed man who had
eaten dinner showed a great squash
over the bar and said gravely, ''This is
to pay for the dinner, and want my

the squash and then handed the man a

An exchange says they tell joke on
the Indian attendants who represented
the klamath reservation at the recent
Methodist conference at Salem. A big
circus was at the capitol city at the same
time, and the Indian delegates left the
conference to attend the circus, which
1hCt pronounced lunense. Inc
spread of religion is very healthful at
the klamath reservation, though the
Indians insist on having some variations.
For instance, they never name the
children themselves, but await the
clergyman whom they insist shall select
the name. A great many of the
boys over there are called Isaac,
and it was often asked why, until
was found that the Rev. Isaac
Driver had been over there christening
the children and had named them after
himself.-Klamdth Star.

A FACT AND 4 PROPHECY.

According to IL report from Washing
ton the $435, 900 appropriated by last
congress for the construction of the the
Cascade locks will be exhausted by the
LIST of January next. Then the little
army OF laborers will lay down their
picks and shoveIs and disappear amidst
the winters shadows and the army OF
clerks will lay down their fabers and the
cots will be folded up in the bunk house,
and the donkey engine will be put in
his little crib and Major Handbury will
write a long report to Washington tell
ing the authorities that ten thousand
million feet of concrete has been laid
and twenty thousand million cubic feet
of rock has been built and that if con-
gress will only give him enough money
the canal will be open TO Priest rapids
by next fall. And then the dispatches
will fairly shrek about the big appro-
priation that is just going to be made in
a week or two and congress win jaw and
fight till the closing hours of the session
and maybe it will give something and
snaybe it wont. But in case it grants an
appropriation the army of government
clerks will resume their fabers and the
engineers will squint through their in
.struments and write somethingin little
book. Then big new map will be
made showing the changes. from all
previous plans. rendered necessary by
unforeseen difficulties and new estimates
will be made to meet these difficulties,
and the cots in the bunk. house will be
unfolded and the distant hills will echo
back the bray of the donkey engine and
the water will be pumped out of the
canal, the laborers will resume their
pick and shovels and little more
cement will be put in the bottom of the
canal and few rocks will be taken out
and few put in and then the appropri-
alton Will be exhausted and a new ap-
propriation called for, and the solons of
Washington will answer .the suckers of
Oregon that it's coming right away, con-
: gress will jaw and fight and maybe we'll
get 1T and maybe we wont, and likely
enough we'll be dead before it comes and
then we wont care whether it comes or
not. Thus it will go on and on ad
ud'tsedm, ad ip,fnituna, in secula secu-
torum. Amen.

Tacoma News.
A certain genial old gentleman of Ia
coma, whose wife has lately been East,
has been having a hot time of it since
her return. Just previous to her going
he bought her nice, gentle horse and a
phaeton, in which she took considerable
pleasure. After her departure, not a
day passed but that he drove out with
her horse. On her return home, she
one afternoon decided to go calling with
d neighbor, and the two started out to-
gether. They had got down on Pacific
avenue, and presently the horse came to
standstill in front of a saloon. No per-
suasion, threats nor urging could make
him stir until his mistress had aliglted
and returned to the buggy, when he
trotted contentedly off, They had gone
only q block or so when, in spite of her
efforts to the contrary, the horse turned
into side street and walked directly up
to the door of a second saloon and
stopped. The same performance was
repeated several times, when the indig-
nant wife drove home and resigned her
self to tears. That night when hubby
came home there were explanations and
tears and promises, and next day a new
buggy horse replaced the old one and
now all is serene.

AN ADJOURNMENT FOLLOWS
Owing to the Democratic Caucus Not
Having Elected Speaker.

WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-Hardly had the
Democratic caucus adjourned yesterday
when a wild rush was made for the gal.
leries of the house, and in "A few minutes
every available seat was occupied. On the
floor all was hustle and confusion. AS the
Republicans entered the hall of the house
(where the Democratic caucus had been
held they were greeted hy their Demo
cratic colleagues and congratulations and
condolences were exchanged. The cham
ber presented bright appearance, not
with,tanding the gloominess Of the day.
Many of the desks were ornamented with
floral designs of more or less beauty, but
the speakers desk was conspicuous by the
absence of adornment.
As the clocks of the city were Ginning
the hour of noon, Clerk Mcpherson as
cendcd to the clerk desk and called the
house To order and Immediately proceeded
to call the roll As Mr. Reed responded
To his name, his Republican colleagues
gave him II round of applause. There was
Il great deal of noise in the hall, and il was
with difficulty that the clerk could record
the responses.
The clerk having announced the pres
encc of 326 members, the house, immedi-
ately on motion of Mr.. Holman OF In
diana, adjourned
In the senate
Il large number of senators on both sides
of the chamber were recognized by compli-
mentary floral tributes. The new senators
attracted much attention from the
galleries, which were crowded To excess.
Owing to the inability of the house to
organize, the senate, after swearing in the
new senators adjourned

BOYD OR THAYER?

Inc supreme court trying to Ascertain
Who Is Governor OF Nebraska.
WASHINGTON, Dec S-The Boyd Thayer
ease, involving the title TO the Office of
governor Of Nebraska, came up in the
United States supreme court today. The
question is to whether or not James f.
Boyd was n citizen of the United States at
the date of election.
Attorneys for Boyd, in their brief, men
tiOn that he became a citizen by virtue of
the admission of Nebraska as a state, he
being an inhabitant of the territory of Ne
braska, and the act of admission in its
terms having operated rs collective nat
uraliZation act. They also claim that
Boyd became citizen through the rela-
tion back to the time Of declaration of in
tention, of the gransAsg in 1890 OF final
naturalization papers to Boyd's father.
They also argue that the cOnscription act
Of lN6l making all persons who had de
clarcd their intention to become A citizen
amenable to military duty, conferred citi-
zcnship upon James +. Boyd and his
la ther.
The brief in behalf of Thayer cites the
case of Dryden and Swinburn from West
Virginia, in which the circumstances are
substantially identical with those in the
case of Boyd, and in which the court held
that record proof of naturalization was
necessary, and that relation could not
apply TO matters of naturalization. Col
lective naturalization, the brief maintains,
can apply only where congress makes ex-
press provisions therefor.
