General e. s. Nettleton and W. w.
Follett of the artesian underground
water flow expedition, sent out by
the agricultural department to ex-
anime the Rocky mountain region,
have gone to Ell Paso, where they will
undertake TO determine the velocity
OF the underfiow in the Rio Grande
valley. They will cut trenches in the
river bed below Ell Paso and by the
use of analine dyes will color the
water so that it can be distinguished
when it reaches a cut further down
the river, and by this means they
hope to secure data upon which to
base accurate calculations as to the
waters velocity.
From there General Nettleton goes
to the Pecos valley region of New
Mexico, where a month will be spent
in the examination of the newly de-
veloped artesian basin, where flowing
wells have been struck at depth of
207 feet. He has made a careful ex-
animation of the rock formation in
the Santa Fe valley, and speaks very
favorably of the outlook for flowing
wells there. He estimates that flow
of one cubic foot of water in that
valley, where horticulture is a leading
industry, is worth not less than $4,000,
and predicts that all irrigation enter
prises in the west are on the verge of
a great boom.

The progress OF seawall work at San
Francisco is likely TO soon materially
change the course of commerce in
the city. Hitherto the great bulk of
the shipping has had its headquarters
south of the foot of Market street
The building of the seawall northward
around Telegraph Hill has caused
many ships TO land their eargoes in
that locality, and now that the harbor
commissioners have decided to build
railroad around the water front the
Pacific Mail steamship company,
whose lease of the property il uses in
the southern part of the city expires
next year, has bought two blocks of
land between Mason and Jones, Beach
and Jefferson streets on the extreme
northern water front, and its heavy
business will be done there instead Of
away TO the south. The ferry lines
running from Tiburon and Sausalito
are likely TO change their landing
places TO the same locality and the
long-negleeted northern part of the
city will rise in Importance accord-
ingly.

LEBANON OREGON, FRIDAY,

Recently Sheriff Stanley of Sacra-
mento county received some very in
teresting information in regard to the
county Jail. The result was that all
the prisoners were brought from their
cells and placed in the "big room /"
and a thorough search made of all
the apartments in the prison. The
search resulted in the finding OF two
or three razors and as many pocket
knives either secreted about the pris-
oners or their cells.
Among those provided with razor
sentense OF death for numbering "A
poor, weak invalid by dragging him
from his bed and plunging him head
downward in n water barrel, but whose
case has been appealed to the supreme
court.
"Where did you get that razor? :"
gasped deputy.
'sGet that razor" replied Freeman,
"Why, I've been shaving myself for
the past seven months"
The new sheriff has also been puz-
zled as to how the prisoners were sup
piled with opium, but acting upon
information received, an investiga-
ton revealed hole in the wall lead
ing to the alley and which was made
for the escape of water, but which has
been used, as is now known, as an
avenue for transmitting opium TO
prisoners A little cement soon shut
off the supply OF the drug, however.
The sheriff also discovered that
prisoners had begun tunnel through
the back brick wall and had made
considerable progress. The debris
had been carried in the prisoners
pockets and dumped into the water
closets. At times when the work could
not be carried on piece of furniture
was so arranged as TO hide from view
the mutilated wall. Communication
with the outer world would have been
made the next day.

A Baby Pen.

For the eight or nine months old
baby there is nothing better than a
dry goods box made into baby pen.
Have the box about square in shape,
with sides high enough to come just
under the baby's arms so that he can
throw them over the sides and look
around, while the burden of the
weight of his body is partly taken
from the little, unsteady, yielding
legs. Tack lining made from an
old bed comfortable to the sides, or
pad it with new print or cotton bat
ting; put a removable piece in the
bottom of the box. Also tack pretty
chintz or print smoothly ON the out
side. Attach some favorite play
things to the sides of the box by a
stout string; then select a time when
baby is especially good-natured for
having him make his acquaintance
with the pen or play house, perhaps
tempting him with a new toy on the
floor of the tiny compartment. 1 have
never seen a baby who did not like
this arrangement; sometimes in pet
tish moods the playthings went flying
out, but they looked so funny lying at
the end of the string that it was a
great temptation to fish them up
again, and meanwhile the cross fiji
was forgotten. The bit of bread foI
luncheon between regular meals was
eaten in seclusion on the floor of the
box, and baby soon became envied
by the older children as having q
"home of his very own" The best
feature of the box, or pen, is that the
child is kept from chills and draughts
without entirely restraining free
bodily motion, as is the case when tied
in chair, and it is preternaturally
good child who will sit still a long
time in a high chair; this is also
about as dangerous a position as q
child can be placed in. Fatal acei-
dents or long illnesses are not un-
common results from tipping over
backward or falling forward from a
high chair on to a hot stove or hard
floor. The low chair is no more com.

architecture In California.

The Americans have not the art Of
making houses or land picturesque.
The traveller is enthusiastic about the
exquisite drives though these groves
of fruit. with the ashy OF the snow
covered hills for aekground and con-
trast. and he exclaims at the pretty
cottages, vine and rose clad, in their
semi-tropical setting. but il by chance
he comes upon an old adobe or a
Mexican ranch house in the country,
he has emotions of q different sort.
There is little left of the old Spanish
occupation, but the remains of it make
the romance of the country, and ap-
peal to our sense of fitness and beauty.
1t is to be hoped that all such histor-
ical associations will be preserved. for
they give to the traveller that which
our country generally lacks. and
which is so largely the attraction Of
Italy and Spain. Instead of adapting
and modifying the houses and homes
that the climate suggests. the new
American comers have brought here
from the East the smartness and
prettiness of our modern nondescript
architecture The low house with re-
cesses and galleries. built round an in-
ner court, or patio, which however
small, would fill the whole interior
with sunshine and the scent of flowers,
is the sort of dwelling that would suit
the climate and the habit of life here.
But the present oecupiers have taken
no hints from the natives In village
and country they have done all they
can. in spite of the maguey and the
cactus and the palm and the umbrella
tree and the live-oak and the riofous
flowers and the thousand novel forms
of vegetation. to give everything q
prosaic look. But why should the
tourist find fault with this? The
American likes it. and he would not like

of Pickett's charge the relator was

wheat field. and he was sent out in
charge of squad to relieve the picket
in a copse of woods. Meeting the Ser
geant he was about to relieve. he asked
him what his orders were. He was in.

pickets were not to fire. Why said
the relieving Sergeant, '.they are firing

According to Bro. Gould, ofthe Eaton
Democrat, Farmer Harris, the Repub-
lican nominee for lieu.enant-governor,
isn't much of a farmer, and says: "Ac-
cordiDg to our idea of what constitutes
a farmer. nothing is more absurd and
ridiculous than to brand Col. Harris a
farmer, as II would be to brand a mule
a horse, and we'll put our old paste pot
up against dime novel, that ninety
nine out Of every one hundred farmers
in Preble county, acquainted with the
gentleman will agree with US. The
person who owns farm, or rents one,
lives on it and works it, or has done so,
is farmer. Col. Harris never did
either to our knowledge, but has al
ways lived in town with his shingle out
as an attorney, when he was not in
public Office. He may do little oc-
casional work on his mothers farm
this year possibly ride out more than
usual, but does that make him a
farmer? Col. Harris was educated for
the law-read it, was admitted to the
bar and practiced it all his life in our
courts! He owns a fine residence in
Eaton; lives at his ease, and has for
wears, and no farm work ever tanned
his brow or blistered his hands, that
anyone about here is aware of"

Flowers In England.

The sale Of flowers by auction Il one Of
the sights of Coyent Garden. The stands
in. the wholesale market are furnished
over night, and the building is open for
private buyers at o'clock next morning,
but all their business is over at o'clock.
The visitor who attends these purely trade
functions has. the advantage Of a very
charming flower show, covering something
like three-quarters Of an acre of space,
upon which are arranged tier above tier
of blossoming plants, sometimes extend
ing up and down, in and out, to a total
frontage of 700 yards.
The auctioneer, who takes his rostrum
at 10 o'clock, addresses himself to the men,
who are called "higglers," a kind of mid
dlemen, who purchase the flowers in lots
and sell them to the small retailers. The
flower girls cannot afford to trade until
the general customers have had their pick
Of the choicest wares, but, taught by a
sharp experience, they are able to drive
very smart bargains, and know precisely
what to purchase.
The pale faced children Of the alleys and
by streets of this densely populated west
central district diligently haunt the pur-
lieus in the spring. They have heard OF
green fields and buttercups and daisies;
perhaps have been told that the swallow
and cuckoo hasten over sea to spend a
merry summer in English meadows and
copses, but the punches and baskets OF
flowers which here fill them with delight
and wonderment are the only evidence OF
such pleasant things hitherto vouchsafed
to them.
They are to them tokens Of an unknown
world. The daffodils, being brightly
golden and of respectable size, strike them
most, as they very likely strike all classes
of visitors. When March is going out like
a roaring lion, and the London streets are
swept by hail and rain, tits pleasant to turr
into Covent Garden and pass these flow
ers in review. The wonder is how such
quantities of violets, primroses and daffo
dis can be collected.-Good Words.
