Drum Language of the oameroons.


Perhaps nothing more remarkable has
been the subject of recent investigation
than the drum language of the natives
of the Cameroons, on the West African
coast By means of this wonderful sys-
tenn of transmitting sounds the most com
plicated messages can be conveyed to vii
lagos in the most distant parts. In prac-
tising this unique system of sound language
peculiarly shaped drum is used. By di-
viding the surface of the drum head into
uneven portions, the instrument, upon be-
ing struck, may be made to yield two dis
tinct notes. By these, and shortening or
lengthening the intervals between each
note, code is established with regular
sequence of taps. strokes and intervals
capable of expressing every syllable in their
primitive language.
All of the natives understand this code,
and SO elaborate is it that a chief can by its
means summon to his presence any villager
whom he desires to see, intimating to the
latter at the same time the purpose for
which his presence is required. In this
way. too, messages can be sent from vii
lage to village over wide stretches of coun-
try, the drummer in one hamlet transmit
ting to the next the signals he hears, and
that with the most extraordinary rapidity.

AN INJUSTICE.

The orders Issued by Colonel Hough-
ton, of the o. N. g., commanding the
Third regiment to go into camp for six
days at The Dalles commencing June %,
is meeting with III uch opposition. 1t is
generally considered as a scheme for
booming the celebration at The Dalles,
rather than for the good of the militia.
1t is barely possible that the time for
holding the encampment may yet be
changed.
The above is from the Baker City
Blade and is very unjust to Colonel
Houghton. AS a matter of fact the
Colonel first appointed the Goth day of
June for the commencement of camp
which would have ended on the 9th,
but the governor could not approve of
that date because of not having the
tentage ready and the Colonel was
obliged to appoint, not later than the
9th, as after the Fourth of July harvest
ing commences and it would be impos-
BILE for many to leave their crops. The
time fixed had nothing to do with the
celebration at The Dalles, and it was
not till last Saturday that Colonel
Houghton agreed to take any part in the
celebration whatever, except the regular
Fourth of July parade which would have
been held if The Dalles had never cele-
brated.

The Portland World is chewing the
rag of bitter disappointment at the re-
suit of the election in Portland last Mon
day. 1t blames the Oregonian for the
whole business and in a fit of virtuous in
dignation demands that the newspaper
ring" of Portland of which the Oreqonian
is the head shall he smashed" and
brought to "close.''. There is just one
way to accomplish this object and we
commend it to the World and to, all
other papers that persist in rehearsing
the battle after they have been COM
pletely routed and that is, let them set
about the task of making better news
paper than the one they want to smash.
1t may be hard job and require time
and labor and money and brains and
patience but just as long as the Oregonian
is so much superior, as newspaper to
all its Portland contemporaries just so
long will it receive better patronage,
and just so long will all efforts to
''smash' it be vain. The people want
news and not the growls OF disappointed
and disgruntled editors.

THE OUTLOOK.

The outlook for Dalles City and the
brighter than it is at this moment. The
heavy rain fall has fully assured large
grain and hay crop. Fruits of all kinds
are abundant and bring fair and profit
able returns. The wool crop is simply
immense and the small per centage of
loss during the past winter insures profit
able returns from the clip even at mod
crate prices. Mutton sheep bring bet
ter prices than we have ever known
them to do in residence of sixteen
years in Eastern Oregon. The price of
beef is tending upward and the long de-
preston in this class of industry seems
at an end. The prospects for good prices
for cereals have not been so bright for
many years, and with an abundant crop
assure the farming classes may con-
fdently look forward to profitable and
prosperous harvest. AS an element in
this prosperity our connections with
Portland and Astoria by an independent
line of steamers will cut no unimport-
ant figure. Everything possible will be
done to make this line available for the
removal of the coming crops and we
have little reason to doubt that the effort
will be successful. Every cent saved by
reduced rates will enhance the value of
the product and go into the pocket of
the producer. Besides all this we are
given every reason to hope that before
many months shall have passed The
Dalles will have connection with the in
terror by one or more lines of railroad
As our readers are aware a company has
been incorporated within the past few
days to build the line, via Dufur and
Tygh valley, to the Fossil coal fields.
Only those familiar with he immense
resources of the country through which
this line will traverse can have any idea
of the benfit such road will be to the
settlers as well as to this city.
Another company has been incorporated
to build road between The Dalles and
some point in Sherman county. 1t can
only be question of time when this
road also will be an accomplished fact.
The needs of the country demand it and
there is not a shadow of doubt as to
its being paying investment. With
these lines of railroad terminating at
this point, The Dalles will at once take
rank as the most important city in East
ern Oregon and this rank she will be
able to maintain against all competitors.
Cheap methods of transportation will
invite capital and capital will develop
Industries yet unborn or in their infancy,
while the thousands of acres of cheap
and productive lands will form homes
for happy, contented and prosperous
people.

A SETTLEMENT OF FACTS.

The CHRONICLE has no desire to make
any reference to anything published in
the columns of the Times Mountaineer
relating to the election of last Monday.
What the people are anxious to see now
is the fruit that will grow from the seed
then planted; but it cannot allow the
statement of that paper to go unchallen-
ged when it says that the successful
party "were the most desicable set of
bosses that ever disgraced any munich
pal or political party" and that they re-
ceived their support from the CHASER
element of the city" The facts are
these. The one political boss, who has
ruled this city for years, carried severv
primary and elected and defeated every
time he set his mind to do it, is M. A..
Moody. If there is chaser element
in the city, that element al,vaus stood at
his back. This is true of last Monday,
as it is OF every city and county election
for ten years. The one thing that tri-
umphed over it, for the first time, was

the wealth and worth of the city, made
it their business, for the first time to
stand at the polls the day long and work
for the success of the citizens ticket.
The "baser element" was simply out
numbered. In making this statement of
fact we by no means intend it to be re-
ferred that the chaser element was the
only supporteof the Moody ticket, be-
cause many supported it who must be
classed among our best citizens, but this
is no more than happened at Portland
where men whom the state has advanced
to high and honored positions were found
fighting in the same ranks with the deni-
zens of the slums. We shall not willingly
refer to this matter again and our con-

In His Pocket.

Jeremiah Mason, the celebrated LAWYER.
possessed to a marked degree the instinct
for the weak point.
He was once cross-examining a witness
who had previously testified to having
heard Mr.. Mason's client make a certain
statement. and it was upon the evidence
of that statement that the adversary's case
was based.
Several questions were asked by Mr. Ma
son, all of which the witness answered
with more or less hesitation. Then he was
asked to repeat once more the statement
he had heard made. Without hesitation
he gave it, word for word, as he had given
it in the direct examination.
A third time Mr.. Mason led the witness
around to this statement, and again it was
repeated verbatim.
Then, without warning, he walked to the
witness stand and, pointing straight at the
witness, said in his high, nasal, perfectly
unimpassioned voice:
Let's see that paper you've got in your
waistcoat pocket
Taken completely by surprise, the wit
ness mechanically took paper from the
pocket indicated and handed it to Mr.
Mason
There was profound stiffness in the court
room as the lawyer slowly read, in his cold,
calm voice, the exact words of the witness
in regard to the statement and called at
tention to the fact that they were in the
handwriting of the lawyer on the other
SIDE He then gathered up his papers with
great deliberation, remarked that ''there
seemed to be no further need of his serv-
ices" and left the court room.
Mr.. Mason, how under the sun did you
know that paper was theref' asked a
brother lawyer.
"Well," replied Mr.. Mason, 81 thought
he gave that part of his testimony more as
if he'd learned it than as if he'd heerd it,
and noticed every time he repeated it he
put his hand to his waistcoat pocket, and
then let it'fal again when he got through -
1t was simple explanation, but a very
shrewd conclusion--Youth's Companion

Travelling women and Hot.,..

The season of travel near at hand reyiyes
interest in the question OF the reception Of
women alone at hotels. Almost every hotel
proprietor will say, on being questioned,
tnat all such unescorted guests would, at
his place, be accorded respectful welcome;
but it happens often that women reaching
houses of public entertainment unattended
are not received. Last summer in Sarato-
ga, in the height of the season q young
woman travelling TO join party of friends
was delayed by railroad wreck, and in
consequence lost connection with the north
bound train. She reached Saratoga about
l O'Clock in the morning, in the very height
of the season, and went at once confident
ly to hotel where she had occasionally
stopped with friends. She was refused a
lodging.
She tried one or two others with the same
result, and at last, abashed and mortified,
she found policeman, to whom she told
her story and begged him to find her a
refuge of some sort. He then accompanied
her. but they visited three lodging houses
before proprietor was found who would
give to the almost desperate young woman
shelter. 1t is significant, too, that the
proprietor in question was another woman,
and not one of the clever hotel clerks who
pride themselves on their ability to ''size
up" people.
An even more aggravated case occurred
-
fifty years old, with gray hair and of dis
tinguished appearance, came with her hus-
band from their suburban home for an
evening at the theater. In leaving after
the performance she became separated
from her husband in the crowd, and spent
time enough in vain endeavors to find him
to lose the last train home She went,
therefore, to a first class hotel, and one
where friend of the family was a regular
h0ar0Rr
nant, she said she was a friend of Mr.. -,
who boarded there. The room was still de
MED. Then she asked if Mr. - was in
Yes, he was in, but had gone to bed. She
had him aroused, with the word that
Mrs. - wanted to see him. Soon he
came down to the Office, and in two min
utes the house was at the lady's disposal

Especial Correspondent


Mr.. Editor-A aARau i9lfias Hon,
Pender will not be unwelcome to
your readers.
Our farmers are gloomy because
Of the long spell OF cool and dry
weather. Cotton has Il poor stand.
Much Of it refuses te come up, and
is rotting in the ground. Some of
our cotton farmers are now plowing
up their cotton for a second planting.
The cut worm is very destructive
this spring upon corn. In no year
since the war ended have our farm
ers used more guanO than they are
using this year. This is II bad sign
il experience teaches anything of
value. Mortgages given this year
for foreign fertilizers will have to be
met in the fall, and when lifted but
little profit will remain for the toll
farmer. Make homemade manureS
and use them rs substitutes is my
eXperience and advice to all. Even
under the best management there
is precious little money in raising
cotton. Ifweare ever able to reduce
labor to Il system and maintain dis
cipline upon our farms, and become
self:reliant, and more industrious. we
shall then make money by farming
and not before.
