Shaving Is Danrerous.


We have often heard that shaving the
face with razor was bad thing; that
it injured the nerves and caused weak
eyes; that it removed the natural cover
ing from the throat and neck, and that
altogether itwas thoroughly. physiology
cal A writer in The Medical Classics
has been looking into this matter little
more closely. By the aid of a micro
scope applied to a closely shayen face he
discovered that the skin resembles a
piece of raw beef. The razor removes
not only the hair, but also portion OF
the cuticle. The blood vessels thus ex-
posed are not visible to the naked eye
but under the microscope each little
quivering mouth holds drop of blood
The nerve lips are also uncovered and
the pores are left unprotected, making
the skin tender and. unhealthy and the
person is liable to have colds, hoarseness
and sore throat.

She Was Heroic in Her way.

A somewhat amusing incident oc-
CURED at an English provincial theater
during a performance of "Called Back. >
Early in the evening an old lady took
up her seat in the balcony and concen-
trated her attention on the play When
Antony received his coup de grace at
the hands of Macari the lady became
very excited and tainted She was
taken down to the vestibule, and on re-
covery it was.suggested she should leave
the theater. This, however, she de-
cined to do, being anxious to witness,
as she put it, 1.-THE beautiful play"
She accordingly returned to her seat,
apparently well. The vision scene in
Act next proved too much for her, and
again she tainted. Once more restora-
tives were applied, and she declared her
intention of staying to the end. Nothing
occurred in Act II to arouse her sympa-
thies, but the Siberian scene in Act III,
in which DR.. Cenen shuffles off the NOR
tai coil, again upset her neves, and once
more she tainted By this time the man
agement had had enough of the thing,
ind the old lady was sent away in a cab
to her residence, not far off.-Jester.

Indecent Literature.

Since Samuels, its founder, left the
West Shore it seems to have been rapidly
on the down grade, judging by some OF
its productions. A certain Ella Higgen-
son, conducts department in that sheet,
and is growing to be disciple of the
erotic very fast. The following ex-
tract would be amusing were it not SO
silly:
ga man cannot lead fast life, enioy
all sorts of pleasures and then marry
some bright young girl, expecting to be
perfectly happy forever after. The girl
has been raised under home restraint {;
for her, marriage with successful man
means freedom, life, enjoyments, amuse-
ments. Can one blame her that she
will not stick at the quiet fireside and
the worn-out, jaded, base husband, who
is tired of it all and give up the gay world
which beckons her out. The happiest
married couples are those who go out a
great deal, either together or separately,
and meet to nestle in each others arms
to tell over the incidents of the day.''

Nothing of note has been done yet to-
ward raising the money to construct a
portage railroad between The Dalles and
Cello, and to put a line of steamers on
the upper and middle Columbia, for
which purpose the Oregon, Washington
&, Idaho Railroad and Transportation
Company was organized at a recent
meeting of delegates from all parts of
the Northwest. The articles of incor-
roration will be filed as soon as signed
by the incorporators, of whom there are
thirty -one, and as they live in three
states it will be sometime before all sign.
I-OregOnian.
We very seriously doubt, and it Is
with much regret that we say it, that
anything will soon be done in this mat
ter. 1t does not agur well for the scheme
that the leading paper of the state and
of the city that would be benefited most
by an open river has treated this new
transportation company, ever since its
inception, with remarkable coldness. 1t
was noticed as an ominous sign that at
the meeting held lately in Portland there
was a notable absence of the leading
capitalists of the city. There is marked
contrast in the present Indifference
ol Cne OregOnedn compared With 1tS IN
tensity when the Hunt two million sub
scription was being raised. Then arti-
Gle after article appeared, urging the
people to subscribe. Now the paper
contents itself with little more than a
mere record of what has happened
When the capitalists of Portland want
an open river real bad the Oregonian
will get up and shake itself, and not till
then.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TOO MUCH.

Two million dollars is a whole lot OF
money and we greatly fear that the at
tempt to raise SO large an amount for
improving the Columbia may in the end
result in nothing at all being done. 1t
would be far better not to attempt so
much at the first especially when very
efectual manner of relief can be afforded
by a comparatively small snm The
most important obstruction in the whole
river that requires to be overcome is be-
tween this city and Cello. A road built
from The Dalles to Grants on the Oregon
side would connect the upper and middle
river and afford immediate and valuable
relief. The products of Sherman county
could he shipped on the cars at Grants
or Blggs and be carried to Portland or
Astoria by the boat service on the mid
die and lower river. The long dry per-
iod in the fall is peculiarly favorable for
carrying wheat and other products on a
cheap system of fiat boats if the steamer
was found inadequate to handle all the
freight offered as it certainly would be.
Add to this a boat or two additional on
the upper river and we have a system
that would give immense relief and the
whole need not cost probably over $780,
600. If Portland wants an open river
she could soon raise this amount. whereas
II two millions are attempted to be
raised before anything is done the chan
ces are people will get discouraged at
the magnitude of the sum and do moth
ing at all. The sum of $500, 900 judic-
iously expended as above outlined would
do more for Portland and Eastern Ore
gon than Hunts two million subsidy for
a road on the Washington side.

EASTERN OREGON WOOL PRO.
DUCT.

B. S. Pague has just furnished the
Oregonian with some valuable statistics
of the wool products of the counties
Cascade mountains. He repeats the
well known fact that tThe Dalles is the
largest wool growing delivery point in
America" In the year 1888 the Moody
warehouse handled 3,OO0,0 900 pounds of
100000 pounds shipped from this
point. Last year, notwithstanding the
heavy mortality among sheep during the
winter of 1SS9-90, the shipments from
The Dalles, Arlington and Heppner are
placed at total of 6,3I6, 720 pounds
while the winter loss of sheep is esti-
mated at 220, 900 head representing a loss
in wool of possibly l $4,000 pounds
more. Mr.. Pague, supposes that these
estimates represent, in a fair degree, the
wool clip of Wasco, Sherman, Gillian,
Morrow, Grant and Crook counties.
These estimates are certainly under
rather than over the true facts Mr..
Pague's investigations have confirmed
all previous reports to the effect that the
coming wool clip will probably be the
largest that Eastern Oregon has ever
seen, while the quality of the wool
promises to be the very best. 1t would
seem that the wool industry was never
in more promising condition than it is
at present. Better prices for wool are
expected this year for several reasons
the new tariff, cleaner wool and better
quality" Mutton sheep are higher
than we have ever known them to be in
a residence of seventeen years on this
coast. Mr.. Pague reports the sale of
band of 1900 go per cent. wethers and
30, per cent. eewes) in Gillian county
for $2.S5 head to be delivered at the
corral, after shearing, about May Ist.
Mr.. Pague winds up his article with the
following: ga good range, healthy
bands, excellent lambing season, good
quality of wool and plenty of it, all tend
to make the wool clip of 1891, now pro-
crossing, one of the most successful for
many years.

s1r. Belts. cyclone Annihil.tor.

MIR. Edward Daniel Belts is an artist
and man with sharp eye. Heread
the other day about some hunter on the
plains who was pursued by relentless
cyclone. In sheer desperation the hunter
turned and fired his trusty rife at the
rapidly approaching funnel shaped cloud.
Instantly the wind began to lose its
nerve, and in less. than a. minute the
landscape was as beautiful as a day in
June.
Mr.. Belts shut himself up and wrestled
with the secrets of nature. At last he
struck pay gravel. and his patent is ap-
piled for:
''It Is large rubber ball filed with
gun cotton or dynamite" he explained,
which viii be hurled with terrific force
at the advancing cyclone. The explo-
s1ve VIII have fuse to it which will be
ignited automatically"
He further explained that the propell-
ing instrument was SO arranged that it
always pointed at the cyclone The ball
was thrown after the wind had attained
certain velocity.
Mr.. Belts has had great deal of
trouble in arranging this last detail
For he found that if he set it at too low
a notch the machine would go off in a
stiff breeze and throw the rubber ball of
dynamite over into neighboring past
ure or down into COW lot, doing great
and immediate damage to the cows with
out any material advantage Then, again,
If the machine were set too high, it would
not get into active operation until after
the entire family had crossed the Dark
River and the cyclone was in the next
county.
Mr.. Belts says there is no question but
that a dose of dynamite will knock any
cyclone cold. The machines can be put
on high pole out of the reach of goats
and children.-Chicago Inter-O Ocean.

Is not something out of joint when

so selling it? The merchant sells his

but when the banker loans you money
he favors you, instead of you favoring
