The Northwest Reform Journal is in
favor of law to abolish all laws for the
collection of debts. The Reform Journal
is cute. 1t proposes to borrow from
Uncle Sam on land and farm products,
allthe money it needs at two per cent
interest and then pass law that shall
enable it to till the venerable gentleman
to go to the devil for his pay.

We hear it rumored that the railroad
men of The DaIles will give picnic a
week from next Sunday. The CHRoN1-;
Gle does not believe they will choose
Sunday for anygsuch an occasion. We
feel sure they have more respect for the
Sabbath than to desecrate it by picnic
which If held any other day would be
attended by many of the friends of the
railroad boys, who, would not go, on Sun
day. - p-4s-.s ,Ae>A s1t,f,
The bicycle trip to Goldenda1e yester-
day, was alike successful and disastrous
to some of the participants, sMessrs Ed
Riggs and j. p. Fitzgerald rode on their
machines the whole way but on the
return trip down the mountain two or
three of the bicycles rum off with their
riders and threw them, bruising them up
considerably. One result of the mishap
is that the Drum Major has draped one
of his optics in mourning.
Mr.. f. l.. Bovnton, of Kingsley, has
sent to this Office great curiosity in the
form OF new potato which has grown
in his cellar to about the size of a
bantam's egg, wholly inside an old one,
without bursting open the old potatoe.
except just little where it is nearest, tn
the skin. A large number of smaller
ones have developed around the ewes of
the old potato, and the whole would
seem to indicate that new potatoes can
be grown in cellar without any nour-
lshment except that derived from the
atmosphere and the parent potato.
