Multuomah county has added two
mills to it's tax levy, which will raise a
fund of $50 900 to be devoted to the inn
proyement of its public roads. The
county court has gone still farther and
has secured by right of purchase several
rock quarries and gravel beds and two
stone crushers, and with these equip
ments and material it is expected that
the money spent upon the county reads
will not entirely disappear in the winter
mud. The two mills added to the tax
levy of this county will not do much, it
is tIus, relatively, where so much is
needed to be done. but the sum that
will accrue, if judiciously expended, as
we trust it shall be, win afford immense
relief to some sections and the precedent
once established of making special pro-
vision for county roads in the annual
tax levy will not be hastily abandoned
by county courts in the future.

Something That Has Been Needed.

For some time past the public have
been looking for an adjustable grille,
with shelf attachment, upon which to
place bric-a-brac, the whole to be ar
ranged over windows or doorways to re-
lieve this portion of a room, which is
usually dependent upon curtain pole.
The great trouble has always been that
they had to be made to order, as win
d4ws and doors vary in width. Now,
however, a device is made narrow enough
to go into the narrowest doorway. 1t is
in two sections, running upon sliding
top bar. By drawing these pieces apart
they can be. extended to the width OF
the door, and the. open place left in the
center of them is furnished with short
drapery.-Philadelphia Upholsterer.

A coward, and God hates coward,

A coward, and God hates coward,
writing over the psuedonym OF Jus
tice'' in last Sundays Oregonidn takes
the relief committee to task because it
has not published statement of what
has been done with the money contrib
uted by Portland and other cities to the
relief of the sufferers by the great hre.
This is we'll enough and might pass,
The committee owe it to themselves to
publish such a statement and i'll all
likelihood will in due time, but Gus
tice'' knows he lies-deliberately and
with malicious purpose-when he talks
of hearing of only two persons obtaining
relief. The coward dare not present
such statement for publication to any
newspaper in this city. It's gross and
malicious falsity would make him
ashamed to do so. He has sent it to
Portland that under the cover of a nom-
de-plune he might conceal name he
would not dare to own where the facts
are known. But the animus OF the
communication is perfectly apparent.
The writer is some low hound who got
all he could out of the committee and
then because he could not get all he
wanted he takes this revenge. While
= the committee may not have always
acted with the best Judgment, and pos
sibly do not make pretsnsions that the,
did, they performed a great deal of hard
; thankless work and we have no doub

they thought it was needed.

mare something over 20 years old. and
not thinking it advisable to winter
her, spoke to some boys to take her out,
shoot her and bury her for money con-
sideration. Boys No. / and 2 did the
job all right. but No. 3, not knowing the
mare had been killed. went the follow
ing day to the farmers barn, and find
ing an animal in the stable, took him
out and led him down to piece of

Big Coon, Big Tree. small Man.

A party consisting of D. M. Rawlins,
b. 9. Brown and others, of Browns
Mill, went out coon hunting the other
night and caught the largest coon and
cut down the largest tree yet on record
The coon weighed twenty-seven pounds
and the tree was nearly fifteen feet
across the stump. The tree was very
hollow, and Mr.. Nathan Singletary, who
is not a very large man. went into the
hollow of the tree and came out at a
knot hole.-Cor. Atlanta Constitution

The democratic members of both
houses of congress will not strengthen
their party in Oregon and Washington
by opposing Senatos Dolph's bill for the
refunding to the settlers on even-num-
bered sections of land within the limits
of the grant to the Northern Pacific
which was declared forfeited, the differ
ence between the price paid of $3.50 an
acre and $1.25, which is the difference
between lands within and without rail
road grants. Every democrat on the
senate comm ttee is said to be opposed
to the bill and-will fight it to the bitter
enda Hit pass the republican senate il
will be killed in the house. This may
be sample of democratic economy, but
it is piece OF fragrant injustice tothe
first settlers who had to pay $3.50 an
acre while iie5lxfere ones are allowed tc
secure the lands lying alongside at hall
that price.

savages slaughtering Deer

Game Warden Taylor came in recently
from the lower country, where he has
been kept busy driving the Indians out
Of that section. Mr.. Taylor reports that
the Utes have been playing sad havoc
with the game, slaughtering wherever
they could. He was very indignant
over it, and from his version of the mat
ter he has good reason to be. He states
that from the Iron springs divide to Yell
low creek it is impossible to travel a
hundred yards without finding the bod
les Of deer lying around, and in most
cases nothing but the hides and brains
have been taken, the brains being used
by the Indians in the process of tanning.
On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park
sections the rotting carcasses can be
seen, while on Snake river they are so
thick as to absolutely poison the air.
Warden Taylor estimates that since
the deer began to travel down the Utes
have killed between 5000 and 5000 OF
them, and what makes matters worse
the major portion of them are does and
fawns, the bucks always remaining in
the upper country till later in the fall. =

Necessarily the romantic and histor-
ical charm of English walled cities is
but small compared with that of CONT
mental cities. The walls of Rome, for
instance, are standing monuments of
the city's history from the earliest times
to within the last half century; but
owing to the extraordinary character
and variety of other antiquarian objects,
they hardly come in for that share of
the visitors attention which they de-
serve. Yet an inspection Of them, with
their ancient and medieval gates, the
many styles of their construction, each
pointing to particular period of their
history, their size and strength, their
odd little hooks and corners and their
picturesqueness is worth a journey,
which convinces the stranger that they
would form the chief attraction OF any
other city but Rome.
Indeed, as is not surprising, Italy is q
nest of ancient walled towns, and we
may note all degrees OF. grandeur, from
the still formidable looking zones which
surround Geneva La Soperba or Firenze
La Bella to the quaint little lines of
Notifications which zigzag up the vine
clad hillsides of the north coast Of the
Mediterranean, surrounding in many in
stances mere villages, but speaking elo-
quently to us Of those hard, stirring
times when the hand Of every man was

Per.Ian swor.,s.

The swords Of Hindostan are Of end
less variety in size and shape, the most
common being the "tegha" and "tal-
war;" broad, much curved blades, wrong
ly styled scimitars, the real scimitar
being a clumsy chopperlike weapon,
nearly straight and widening to the
point. There is the "khanda," heavy
straight SWORD with basket hilt, like the
Scottish clayinore. The khanda was an
object of worship to the Raiputs, pre-
cisely as to the Scythians. The "pata,"
or gauntlet sword, much used by the
Mahrattas, was development of the
"katar," having long rapier blade,
often of Spanish make, and a cylindrical
hilt, into which the arm was passed to
the elbow. The Persian sword, how
ever, was valued above all others, and
particularly those of Khorassan.
These are the real Damascus blades"
the damascening being produced by the
capitalization Of the steel. Connois-
seurs recognize ten different varieties OF
watering or ''jauhar;" and the most in
credible prices have been given for
fancy specimens. But the great brittle
ness Of these swords makes them unfit
for use by Europeans, who would SILVER
them to pieces by "swashing blow"
while the oriental employs their razor
edge only for the drawing" cut

Reasoning Power of Ants.

One morning gentleman of many
scientific attainments sat quietly and
alone at his breakfast. Presently he
noticed that some large black ants were
making free with the contents Of the
sugar bowl. He drove them away, but
they soon returned, seemingly unwilling
to leave their sweetened feast. Again
they were dispersed, only TO return In
increased numbers. There was a lamp
hook directly above the center of the
table, and TO try their ingenuity, the
gentleman suspended tho sugar bowl to
the hook with cord, allowing 1t to
swing clear of the table about an inch. 4
First the sagacious little creatures
tried to reach it by standing on each
others backs. After repeated efforts,
all of which were failures, they went
away and it was supposed that they had
given up in despair. Within surpris-
ingly short time, however, they were
seen descending the cord by dozens and
dropping themselves into the sugar
bowl They had scaled the wall,
trayersod the ceiling and discovered an
other road to the treasure.-St. Louis

Contamination Of government.

The history of the federal govern
ment is one of growing strength and in
fiuence. The difference between the
intention of the founders of the system
and of the existing fact is nearly as
great as that between the opinions Of
Jefferson and moderate Federalists.
From the first organization of the gov
eminent to the present time there has
been almost n steady adyance toward
Capitalization This advAnce has been
both aided and retarded by the supreme
court; but in the legislative branch of
the government and in the popular mind
the proportions of the federal govern
ment have constantly grown larger. It
has not been the tendency of the people
Of the republic to strengthen the local
government at the expense Of the general
government. On the contrary, the gem
eral government has grown at the cost

Names and businesses.


There is at times a peculiar coinci-
dence as regards the name of man
and his business. Such an appropriate
ness Of name to calling is frequently
quite accidental. Sexton Brothers,
Undertakers and Upholsterers, is the
wording of sign at Long Branch, and
a dressmaker ON Clinton street, New
York, bears the name of N. Nadel (the
German for needle). To those who I'M
derstmd German, Schneider will seem
an equally appropriate name for dress
maker, and there are plenty of butchers
in town named Metzger, while at least
one barber glories in the name of Scheer-
er. But it seems odd that a Baecker
should deal in meat, or that even an
Avenue A. Barber should sell beer.
However, when we hear Of s.Taylor &
Cutter" q firm of clothiers, or find that
"Stickwell s. Co." are mucilage makers,
there is strong suspicion of an inten-
tional manufacture of appropriate firm
names. And that story about the bro
ker firm Of s'U. Ketcham & /. Cheatham"
has been told so often that one hardly
knows whether to credit it or moi. New

Sad Evening Primrose, with your silken stole
Hung delicately sunward. what q soul
Looks from your patient eyei How frail and
pale
You stand among the flowerets! and your bowl
Shows like a vanishing phantom OF the grail.
Young buds that point finger to the blue
Crowd on your stem. and youth and hope are
new,
While the sap runs; yet scarcely has the sun
Warmed twice upon your petals ere their hue
Falls into pallIdness of death begun.
And strewn about the grass the blossoms hide
The poor diseolored fragments Of their pride,
Or hang disconsolate with draggled vest,
And clinging, sodden cerements, to abide
The gradual workings OF the Alkahest
Was II for this you struggled into light?
That one brief day should crown tedious
night?
Was it for this you felt your way along
The paths of natural growth, that from their
height
shrill death should echo in your triumph
songY
IL may be SO. There are who say the bliss
Requites the pain; yet could 1t be for this s
God knows you opened your sweet, patient
eyes
To see the suns face once and die in his kisss
| For me-you bloom again In Paradise.
