THREW SAND in THEIR EYES.
The Young People Kept UP Bravely for a
limo and Then Slumped.

When the train pulled into the way
station the young woman was standing
on the station platform surrounded by
several other young women, who were
all talking at once. The young man
stood n short distance away, holding n
big valise.
Don't be all day about it..
Every girl in the crowd with the ex-
ception of the one addressed, exclaimed,
oh" and looked as though something
dreadful had happened. She rctorted
Hop on yourself if you want to. I'm
coming"
The other girls said "Oh!" again and
the young man got on the train. Then
he called out again:
Cant you get move on you, Maria?
You'll talk the arm off of some one'
"Pll come when get ready, jacob"
she returned.
Then she hastily kissed the girls good
by and boarded the train, while they
retired to q corner of the station and
held n whispered conference over some
thing that seemed to trouble them.
Flop down there!" he said, as they
came to a double seat You don't mind
riding backward and it bothers me-"
She sat down and he put big valse
on the seat beside her and then settled
himself comfortably on the other seat,
while the old lady two seats behind ex-
claimed "Well, never!" and some one
muttercd, THE bruter'
For fifteen minutes after the train
started he pretended to be reading q
newspaper and she was looking out of
the window. But every minute or two
he glanced at her over the top of his
paper and her gaze frequently rested on
his face.
And she seemed to be proud of him.
Suddenly she turned toward him with
the exclamation:
Jacob, do you need every paper in
this caro-"
He threw her over one he had in his
lap.
81 wonder you didn't think of it be-
fore!" she said.
YOU'RE able to speak if you want
anything!' he returned. You've got q
tonguep'
There were more comments from
various portions of the car, and every
one seemed to be wondering what he
would do next.
Ten minutes later he looked stealthily
around the car. Every eye was fixed
on him or the young woman who was
looking shyly over the top of her paper
He threw his down
Maria" he said, they've sized us
up; we can't fool 'cm and there's no use
trying"
A moment later the newly made
wife's head was pillowcd on her hus-
bands shoulder, and as she looked up
into his eyes She suggested:
Perhaps we overdid it, Jacob"
Perhaps we did," he said. but this
is better anyway"
Then he kicked the paper in the aisle,
and they carried on whispering con
versation for ninety les.-Brandon

Moody has succeeded in driving Smith
out of the wheat market on the other
side the river. constant train has
been arriving all week. The higher
prices paid have attracted thousands of
bushels that would have gone to Colum-
bus and every pound is being ferried
across to the Union Pacific cars at cost
of not less certainly than fifty cents a
ton for the handling. While it could
easily have been picked up by the Regu-
lator without ferriage and carried to
Portland for six cents bushel it is thus
ferried to this side the river, put on the
cars and taken to Portland by a road
whose fixed schedule rate is 1925 cents
ton. In other words if Mr.. Moody
pays the full Union Pacific rates he pays
scarcely less than six cents a bushel
more than the Regulator rates.

as good grade as the imported article.

ship it over that road whose advertised
rate would make him lose about six
cents per bushel on all the wheat bought
by him at Rockland. Washington. The

the farmers at this place get such a high
price for their grain, but in behalf of the
other farmers along the line of road,
makes a vigorous demand that the
affair be investigated. and no discrimi-

How the starfi.h Eats the oyster.

AAO" bAc A1aLS Gne OySLers
The starfishis a curious animal. Its
mouth is directly in the center, and al
most Immediately under it is the stom-
ach, while the digestive organs are in its
arms. Starish eat oysters, but natural
lists differ as to the precise way in which
they devour them. Ancient naturalists
believed that the starfish waited for a
moment when the oyster opened it's
valves to introduce one of its rays into
the opening" and having put one foot
into the domicile it soon put the other
four in and finished up by devouring
the native. Modern observations have
proved that this is not quite correct.
Some naturalists assert that, on OBJ
tanning possession of the oyster, the star
fish brings his mouth to the edge of the
shell and then with the assistance of a
fluid which its mouth secretes it forces
open the valves and the entrance is OBJ
tained. Another naturalist gives diff
ferent explanation of the transaction,
namely, that the oyster is seized by the
starfish and held tight by its mouth;
the starfsh then everts its stomach and
envelops the oyster, which forces it to
open its shell. However this may be, it
is clear that the starfish swallows oys-
ters in the same manner as human be-
ings.-London Tit-Bits.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1891-11-07

The CHRONICLE hesitates to offer any
criticism on this yeal' g assessment as
compared with that of the year 1890, but
it feels it to be it's duty to call attention
to the fact that the value of land has
been raised from an average price of
$3.45 an acre in 1890, to $3.50 in 1891.
This is an increase of over sixty-five per
cent, while there is not man in
Wasco county that does not know that
the price of land has decreased
rather than increased, during the
past year. The present valuation of
$3.50 an acre is entirely too high. The
land itself would not bring that as an
average price-is not in fact worth that
sum, and should not be so assessed.
The county board will not be doing their
duty if they do not make horizontal
reduction equal to, if not lower than,
last years valuation or insist that the
state board make the reduction. No
one can regret being compelled to make
this criticism more than the writer, but
he must doit. 1t is not too late to make
a proper correction and it must be done
if land owners are to be treated with
common fairness, and Wasco county is
not forced to pay an unjust proportion
of state tax.
