So the Oregon delegation has RECON-
mended Joe Simon for the federal Judge
shlp,andthe recommendation is seconded
by the Governor. Pennoyer and Jim
Lotan and many prominent republicans
of this state. We don't care if it is. The
appointment would he as much of an in
suit in its way to every clean republican
in the state, as would the nomination of
David B. Hill to the presidency, to every
clean democrat in the nation. The only
conceivable reason why Cennoyer and
and Lotan should remmend Simon for
the position is that if Simon is ap-
pointed, the dispatches say, he will re-
move to California and Oregon will get
rid of him. No, no, the country does
not want federal judges whose chief
qualification is that thsy are smart and
unscrupulous political bosses, but Ore,
zgon would be perfectly reconciled if
Simon should go to California or-Can-
ada.

The Latest About sa1ton Lake.

A prospector who has just come from
the Colorado desert after a six months
trip says that he has ridden around the
greater portion of the Salton lake, and
that, in his opinion, there is little likeli-
hood of its drying up. In any event it
could not all evaporate should the flow
cease before the freshets of next season,
when it would again pour into the basin.
he thinks that next year the breach al
ready made will be enlarged, and that a
greatly increased volume of water will
flow in, making the lake a permanent
feature for many years to come. The
past summer has been eventful in desert
history, as there have been an almost
unbroken succession of transforms, sand
storms and electrical storms. Immense
quantities of rain have fallen, and the
thunder and lightning have been some
thing terrifc.-San Francisco Chronicle.

thousand of these people, men and wom-

In the afternoon, leaving the city with
its heat, noise and hustle, they return
to their homes and enjoy life in comfort

Fostoria, is eleven miles from the city

away. There are no houses erected,

up the curtains and spread our rubber
robe. the rain commenced to fall in
torrents. Little brooks came rushing
out of the woods across the road, and
soon we were dashing along an UNI

our horse and buggy with mud. This
experience led me to say SO much about
the uncared-for condition of the coun-
try. Northern or western people would
care for their roads, make them passa-
able in all weather and equal to every

CHAPTER XIV.
The feeling of having a secret made
me rather uncomfortable as | went
down to dinner.
Miss Rcnnert's kind eyes, which smiled
at me from the usual place, were the
only things unchanged and Mr.. Whites
teeth did their work still in their old
place at the table d'hote.
In Lapotin's place sat the stout lady
from east Prussia, and next her her
niece, an rncommonly large. phleg-
matte young lady.
Thereupon followed Count Dcgenfeld,
who, in spite of the presence of Mrs.
Clifford, could not deny himself the
pleasure of examining this youthful
form.
He seemed in a merry humor, his
new role Of grass-widower evidently
pleased him, and he entertained as
usual, the small circle, which always
gathered around Mrs. Clifford, who had
squeezed the English baronet in be-
tween her and me. We did not wish to
have anything to do with one another.
Even the fat boy did not sit next me;
considered too dangerous!
In his place sat his mother, and COM
municating across Miss Rennert and
me by means of secret signs with the
stout lady. 1t had the appearance as if
they wished unanimously to annihilate
Miss Rcnnert and me. Only Mr.. White
was companionable and expressed his
regret that the pretty German lady had
left. "A very charming person, that
Miss Ellen" said he, livery lovely, in
deed! So well-informed, knew how to
talk SO well, and how nicely she spoke
English!" And he continued to talk
pleasantly, not noticing that the stout
lady laughed mockingly, the mater
,familias shrugged her shoulders as If
she were bored, and that Mrs Clifford
drew down the corners of her mouth
scornfully.
''But the best thing was her sing
iing!" continued indefatigable Mr.
White. II have never heard q young
lady sing with such charming express
sion."
''Well, WELL" said the quarrelsome
mater familias, ''there are still many

who speak English. did not see any,
thing very extraordinary about this
Miss Ellen, as you call her! If she has
learned much / do not know, at any
rate she has not learned yet to conduct
herself as a young LADY,"
The stout lady now looked over at
Count Degenfeld significantly, and con-
yerSation ceased
After pause the stout lady turned to
Miss Rennert, and asked: How did
you feel, mademoiselle, when you found
that the young Russian, your especial
friend, was criminal pursued by the
police? My knees fairly knocked to-
gether to-day when heard the scandal
