From Mr.. H. M. Pitman of Dufur who
is in the city today we learn that the
crop of Mr.. William Vanderpool of that
place has just been threshed and pro-
duced an average of 25 bushels to the
acre. This includes wheat, oats and
barley. The wheat is shrunken and it
is feared that very little in that neigh
borhood will be found in a different con-
ditlon. 1t is believed that all the thresh-
ing crews out that way are now running
at full blast.

slipped into the law Office of friend of

There Was no Hypnotish About, But
Mrs. Lease Got the Seat.
From the Wichita Eagle.
The other day it was raining hard
when Mr.. Lease boarded street car.
The car was chuck full and all the men
on the seats sat closer back and evinced
determination to keep a position OF
sedentary comfort. Mrs. Lease cast her
eye down the car and at the same time a
stopped man in the corner started to
raise.
DON'T said the man next to him,
grasping his arm. "That's Mrs. Lease.
Don't you know her? She believes in
equality of the sexes. Woman suffrage,
you know
The stopped man smiled and got up.
"Come," said the speaker, still more
importunate, you're not going to get
up, are your If she thinks she's equal
to a man let her stand. Give her a dose
of her own medicine. See, ehP"
But Mrs. Lease has taken the mans
seat, greatly to the discontinue of the
other, who wanted to see her stand.
Next day he met the stranger on the
street.
"HeIlo,'' he said, ''you're the man
that gave up your seat to Mrs. Lease.
You missed a good chance to take her
down a little. There wasn't another
man the car who would have given way.
Wasn't impolite, you know. Just a lit
tie joke. What made you get up? Did
she hypnotic you?"
''See here" said the man addressed,

Cant say that / do. Who are you

Having completed every arrangement
for carrying out Manuers plan, we took
our stations to watch the movements of
the savages till night should give us an
opportunity for action.
1t was not our purpose to wait unit,
darkness had fully set in, but to carry
our plan into action just at dusk, when
the light would be sufficient to show tho
Indians that the horses had riders. but
not enough to reveal the deception.
As the twilight settled over the plain l
could see that the Indians drew closer to-
gether, as if holding a final council.
Its time now, senior, ;" said Manuel in
low tone.
Keeping in the shadow of the house we
led the two horses to the outside, then,
turning their heads to the north we
struck them several sharp blows. They
reared violently and plunged away in
the darkness.
AT the same moment we threw our
selves in at the door and lay fiat upon
the ground.
We held our breaths as the sound of
retreating hoofs broke the stiffness.
Then rose fierce tumult to the east and
west, with a succession of terrific yells
from score of savage throats. The
Apaches had discovered the two retreat
ing horses and had gone laundering in
pursuit.
Through the open door could see o
line of dark forms moving to the north
against the eastern horizon, and knew
that our ruse was having the desired
effect.
Come" said Manuel, "we must not
lose moment. We most be as far away
as possible before they discover the trick
and return to search for us.
Carrying our rifles in our hands, ready
for quick use, we darted from the cabin
and ran with all the speed we could COM
mand to the southwest, while from the
north came the fierce yells of the Apaches
as they swept on in pursuit of our two
flying horses.
We ran for nearly mile, and then be-
ing almost exhausted by the violent ex-
ercise and hearing no sound of pursuit,
we dropped into walk.
We Travelled steadily for three hours,
until we found ourselves among range
of low, sandy hills, and there, secreting
ourselves in patch of mesquite bushes
that grew in a small canyon, we rested
for nearly an hour. Then we resumed
our journey, and by travelling in cir
cultous route reached Mason's ranch at
sunrise the following morning.
Thus ended one of the most dangerous
adventures of my life, and but for the
shrewdness of Mexican boy should
not be alive now to tell the story.
Two weeks afterward, as we were re-
turning from Mutt Station we came upon
the dead bodies of our two horses, which
had been literally hacked to pieces by
the savages, so enraged had they been on
discovering the deception that had been
practiced upon them.-Golden Days.

? A short time ago experiments were
made in Russia, at the suggestion of
German engineer, as to the resisting
power of snow walls against artillery.
Two walls of snow We're built up and
fired against at distance of 900 yards by
field artillery. The balls penetrated to a
distance of only 1S feet into the walls.
Of course in case of war the walls would
not have to be built SO thick, as the artil-
lery would naturally be at longer range.
The Russians have also been recently
trying infantry firing at snow walls. The
men of the Slst Apscheron Infantry Reg
iment, under the superintendence of Cen
eral Count Borcf, built wall about so
feet long, IS feet thick, and Al feet high.
Behind the wall were placed, at equal
intervals, four targets, at each of which
four volleys were fired at distance of
500, 400, 200, and 100 steps. The pene-
trating powers of the volleys were: At
100 steps, 8 feet at 200 steps, $ feet
inches; at 400 steps, feet inches, and
at 800 steps, 4 feet. This proves that in
war operations during winter snow could
be used with great advantage as shelter
for troops. II London Globe.

London Shop Girls.

Whatever money is paid to working
women or shop girls in these big stores
is so much over and above their board
and lodging. In Whitley's establish
ment the wages run from ego to e70 a
year for the female clerk. Out of this
they are only obliged to provide their
clothing; everything else is furnished
them. A shop girl in New York would
think she was doing pretty well to receive
from So to $12 week over and above
her living expenses, even if she had to
wear black silk dresses every day
when she reached the e70 grade. The
purchasing power of dollar, SO far as
clothing is concerned, is double what it
is in our country. But I imagine our in
dependent American girl would prefer to
struggle along vita the meager salary
most of them receive with the power to
come and go as they please rather than
to live in the cock loft over the store and
have no care as to what she shall eat and
where she shall sleep, but be obliged to
live up to certain rules and be in the
house every night at II o'clock in the
evening. Thus the hours are shorter
with the English shop girl, and the work,
as a rule, lighter London Letter to

AN OLD STORY.

q you are fair and young, my love,
But am growing old,
And in good sooth on do me wrong
No ask story or a song,
For @Il my songs are sung, my love,
And all my tales are told.
My voice has gone this many year,
My wit has grown so small
I'm even forced to speak the truth;
But somewhere lives a lucky youth,
Who'll tell yOu-lies, think, my dear,
But you'll believe them all.
He'll have a noble scorn Of pelf,
He'll sing and sigh, and sue.
He'll say his love will last for aye
And heaven knows what he will not say
I've done this sort of thing myself,
1t is not hard to do.
He'll talk of dying if you doubt
The ardOr of his flame;
You'll save his precious life, my dear.
And in "A quarter of year
But there, you'd better find it out
It's always much the same.
All, then, forgive my foolish tongue,
Or better, frown and scold,
'Tis certain that | can not know;
These things are changed since long ago.
| said that all my songs were sung,
And all my tales were told.

Great Flumes in the West.


The great lumber fumes of California
are little known in this part of the coun-
Try, where railroads run into every place
that has anything to transport. In Cali
tornia streams of water are carried for
miles in wooden fumes for irrigation
and mining purposes, and similar fumes
are used for floating lumber from the
forests in the mountains to the mills in
the plains. The Engineering Ne,cs gives
an interesting account of the great fiume
of the Kings River Lumber Company in
Fresno county, Cal, which starts nearly
at the snow line in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, and extends SO miles to the
lower plains.
The f1ume is of V-shaped section, 3 feet
: inches wide across the top and 81
inches deep. 1t is built of II inch boards
and is supported upon trestle work, some
OF the canyons being crossed at height
of l3O feet. The construction of the
t1ume consumed about 100000 feet of
lumber, much of which hal to be carried
on mems shoulders over the mountain
In one stretch of about 1000 yards near
its head, the fiume falls nearly $50 feet.
Logs are the chief freight of this novel
transportation line, but passengers are
often carried. The boat for the carriage
OF passengers or freight is a V-shaped
box about 16 feet long. The front end is
left off, as the velocity of the water is
such that it will not run back into the
boat to any extent. A plank is placed
along the bottom, and on this the pas
sengers rest their feet, setting on cross
seats When all is ready the spikes that
held the boat while loading are pulled out
and away it goes on its SO mile journey,
trip full of exciting experiences.

The bank embezzler has not gone out of bus
sness- He is. on the contrary, extending his
operations. He seems to like Boston and to do
a fourishing trade there. The closing of the
big Maverick National Bank and the arrest of
the president and managing director have pro-
dueed sensation in the country equal to that
caused by any similar defalcation in bank
circles. The examination Of banks is not con-
Quoted thoroughly and there is urgent demand
on the part Of the public to have more rigid
system instituted speedily But frs. of all the
methods Of management of these institutions
should be changed so as to provide for more
checks and balances. The directors ought to
be something more than figure heads and the
president and cashier something less than au-
tocrats. Dishonesty in bank management is
due IN nearly every case to the spirit of gam
bling speculation, which is furnished ample op-
porsunity Of indulgence by negligent directors
and superficial examiners.

One Of the most notable suggestions Of the
day is that resulting, it is said from the recent
agricultural congress at The Hague and which
aims at international concert in the matter Of
pure food products. The participation Of this
republic might not be practicable if it were
contemplated to do more than let each coun-
try in the arrangement take care of the subject
within its own borders. The matter will prob
ably be considered by Secretary Rusk in his
annual report and an international commission
be recommended. The local or national COM
missions would have charge Of supervision in
each country and would aid in detecting i'm
pure products by correspondence with the COM
missions of all other countries. Atmeetines of
the international commission such suggestions
for legislation would be made as might seem
necessary.

Certain points Of today's elections are worthy
Of special attention. In Massachusetts and New
York the republicans place their hopes on
large country vote overwhelming a metropoli-
tan vote. On the contrary. in Ohio and Penn
sylvania the democrats rely on the rural votes
to vanquish the Cincinnati or Philadelphia suf-
fragan. respectively. Only few years ago the
country vote in Pennsylvania and Ohio was as
soiidly republican as it is in New York and
Massachusetts,. Another matter Of interest,
not peculiar to today's elections, but becoming
more and more painfully characteristic of all
elections in the larger states, is the importance
30 the party managers OF the fraudulent float
ing vote in the big cities. The extent to which
every election in the greater states is affected
by corruption of suffrage is terrible fact
when fully realized
