band say that they will give Saturday
night concerts at the court house square
if The Dalles citizens will erect them a
band stand. 1t should be done. Appli-
cation to the county court for permission

permission is given committee of our
citizens could raise the $50 or SIS neces-
sary to put up an eight octagon stand
without any trouble. The band has the
handsomest uniforms of any similar
organization in the state, and under the
leadership of Jimmy Benton are making
rapid strides toword a high degree of
proficiency in music and if stand is

30 Demand for o1d Clocks.

There is no longer the demand for
what used to be called grandfather
clocks" that there was three or four
years ago, but when a genuine old one
can be secured there are always a score
of buyers ready to pay fair price for it.
The clock of this type stands on the
floor, as the song says, and although it
may not go ninety years without blum
dering it will keep good time, and its
works are apparently indestructible.
As there are factories which turn out
sold" china to order, so there are places
where Eighteenth century clocks are
manufactured.
+ There is no great difficulty about the
works and weights. except that it takes
long time to make them, but the cases
used to puzzle the smarte4t of them
Now, however, there are places up in
Michigan where wood is so prepared as
to look as though it might have been
cut out of the same blocks Noah used
when constructing the ark. The fraud
is a very innocent one, as the imitation
is probably an improvement on the
original. But the conoisseur only buys
a really second hand one, and he can see
by the wear of the works how old it is

Cheap Tagging for steam Pipes.

According to the Revue Industrielle
some of the waste products resulting
from the manufacture of paper furnish
excellent material for cheap and efficient
tagging for steam pipes. The waste
products in question are chiefly those
coming from the different cleaning and
sorting machines which are of fibrous
nature. These, when dry, are mixed
with potter's earth in the proportion of
four to one, enough water being after
ward added to form plastic compound.
This is spread by hand over the surfaces
to be protected in thin successive layers.
W hen dry the coating is said to adhere
firmly, and is not easily broken Its
cost is practically no more than the cost

The Fishing Season.

The fish men of this part of the coun-
try are making extensive preparations
for large run of salmon this season.
Seafert Bros, have spent something like
s20,0 900 in deepening the channels to
their wheels, while at North Dalles three
new wheels have been put in and the
old one placed in thorough repair.
Phelps & Co., have repaired and put
their wheels in order and everything
tends to show that great things are ex-
pected from the salmon run this year.
The close season ends April lst.

A CLOSE CALL.
Narrow Escape of Team and it's
Driver.

Victorine Mesply of Mill creek had a
close call today at about one O'Clock.
He was unloading some garden truck,
at the store room of the Umatilla House
when the team, hearing the noise of an
outgoing freight train, started to run in
the direction of the track which it reach
ed just as the locomotive came to the
crossing. The team Immediately turned
down the main track in front of the en-
gine, and ran past the oil house and
along the tressel work for distance of
over fifty feet before the locomotive, in
spite of all that Jack George the driver
could do, was able to stop it. Before
the train came to halt the engine
struck the back end of the wagon and
knocked it clean off the track and against
the hand railing. So violent was the
shock that it pitched the load of truck
out of the wagon which fell on the
ground over twenty feet below. At this
moment Jap Nebo WHO was on the tres
tie, grasped the horses by the bits and
succeeded by almost superhuman
strength and dexterity in throwing them
upon their launches. The old man
Mesplie was still in the wagon and
providentially escaped being thrown
over the railing where he would most
likely have been killed. The horses
were only scratched little but the
wagon is badly smashed. On the whole
it was a lucky escape for all concerned
for Mr.. Mesplie escaped with only
slight hurt in the back

The Approach of Spring.
Atlanta Constitution.

There is the very essence Of spring in
the following poem, which is fresh from
the pen of a Georgia editor
There's kind of curious, lazy, lullin feelin' in
the breeze,
An the early buds are bendin' meath the weight
of honey-bees.
The downy doves matin in the woodlands
where the stream
Is II clear an shinin mirror where the sunbeams
love to dream
You see the buds a-swellin on the branches
once so bare
An the cattle-they grain where the tender
blades appear,
You hear the birds s-chirpin' in their nests or
on the wing,
But-"Enciosed please find poem' is the sures
sign o. spring.

soMeTHlNe ABOUT THE pLATYpus.

Wonderful Mammal Which Cost the
British Association Over $4,000.
The platypus, small mblelike beast
OF Australia, has been voted the palm
for being the most extraordinary mann
NAL in the known world. For the Last
twenty years its skin has been highly
priced as an article of commerce. vet
during all of that time scientists have
been trying to settle the question wheth
er 1T Is born alive or Matched from an
egg. During the summer of 1885. a
cablegram was sent from Sydney, Au-
stralia, to London, by Professor Liver
s1dge to the effect that Mr. w. II. Cald-
well, who holds the Balfour travelling
fellowship of Cambridge, had at last set
tied the matter. Mr.. Caldwell was sent
out to Australia by the British associa-
ton for the express purpose of studying
the life history of this wonderful Great
ure, mission which was finally reward
ed In the year above mentioned by the
discovery of the eggs and nest of this
living contradiction of nature
Gerard Krefft, gentleman sent out
by the British scientific societies about
1880, offered as high as $500 for an egg
OF the platypus without being able to OBJ
tain one. Still the Bush1nen of the re-
gion inhabited by the creature positively
declared that the animal did Law eggs.
even if they had failed to produce one at
the request of the scientists, stimulated
by the promise of 81 900 if they would
produce a pair of freshly Matched young.
During Krefft's tour of investigation
numbers of platypus were caught, many
IN the pairing season, and dissected, vet
f-r-lf rfafea
scientists were inclined to believe that
the creatures had been misrepresented
when spoken of in connection with the
eggs, and that they were really Yiyipar-
GUS.
The body of the platypus resembles
the mole, and is covered with a close,
short, grayish brown fur. Like the
beaver, its tail is broad and fattened.
A horny extension of the jaws forms
beak like that Of a duck, their margins
being sheathed with horn and supplied
with transverse horny plates, two in each
jaw, but these are not true teeth. The
toes are united by membrane or web,
so that the aniTaal is enabled to swim
with great cas- It inhabits small
streams and pond, ing principally, if
not wholly, on insec6s. When the young
are Matched they are blind and quite
naked. The method by which they OBJ
tain milk from the mother is still OBJ
scure, as the creature has no nipples,
only fiat surface; nor is there any mar
supial pouch, The beak of the young is
wholly unlike that of an adult
IL cost the British association over
$4,000 to ascertain the above facts.
First, the instruments and apparatus
with which Mr.. Caldwell was fitted out
cost e1 900. Besides that, he spent over
fourteen months in Australia before he
was able to take the coveted peep at the
rare creatures eggs.-St. Louis Republic
