A German family by the name of
Kohler, living in Tygh valley, had their
house with all its contents burned last
Monday. Defective fue the cause.
The Columbia river pilots, on the
stretch from Astoria to Portland, and
up the creek twelve miles south, will
never surrender to their oppressors.
They are prepared for renewed activity
in defense of their interests after the
holidays.
1t is said that Gov. Pennoyer de-
nounces the trick of Col. Bob Miller
and Pierce. Should Pierce be elected
and cast his electoral vote for Cleveland
he would be drummed out of Oregon.
That is what the governor of Oregon
says to the governor of Georgia.
Commencing Saturday the 29th at 10
a. M, and every Saturday at the same
hour until otherwise ordered, there will
be offered for sale at public auction,
through w. H. Butts, auctioneer, by
authority of the city, the remaining un-
sold lots, belonging to the water fund.
Not many lots remain unsold, and no.
! body should miss the opportunity to be
present and make profitable invest
ments. The terms of payment are very
| liberal.
In making landing at the U. P. R.
dock in Astoria with the barge Colum-
bia, a hole was stove in her side below
| water line, and in the effort to save the
barge and cargo Capt. Marshall B. Short
and his mate Gus Peterson lost their
lives. They had gone down into the
hold to stop the leak, when the barge
listed. Capt. Short was crushed by
falling wheat sacks as he was coming
out, and Peterson was drowned in the
| hold. Capt. Short was universally
liked by river men. He was careful
master and competent. He had been
in the employ of the U. P. R. Co. six
years, and for five years was mate on
the Bonita. Last year he took out g
license for captain, and was assigned tc
the Ocklahanla, the largest and most
powerful towboat on the river. He
leaves a young wife, but no children
Gus Peterson was in the employ of the
o. p. and o. r. n. Co. many years as
deck-hand. He was unmarried, but has
a sister living in Portland.

The Latest Fake.

AS the following fake mentioned in
the Salem Statesman will probably
reach The Dalles in due time, we give it
in order that our business men may
have their optics open, and these are
days when one needs to be on the alert ::
'fFakes of one kind or another follow in
such quick succession now days that it
is a task of extreme difficulty to keep
track of them. But the latest one is
deserved of more than passing notice, by
reason of the nerve of the man who is
working it. He is attempting to organ
ize what he processes to be great CO.
operative system between the merchants
and their patrons. The membership in
it is So for each business house, and in
return for this the fellow is to solicit
among the people in the interest of his
subscribers-the merchants. TO the
purchaser he gives coupons of some kind
on the different stores and represents
that at the end of each month he will
return to them cash to the amount of 8
per cent. on all purchases made. This
fellow then is to get from the merchants
rebate of 10 per cent. on all purchases
made by the persons whom he has
solicited-5 Fer cent. going to him for
his work and per cent. to the buyers
as a rebate. The scheme is full of air
and probably will never again be heard
of after the first month, as the manager
could very well afford to pass on to the
next town, after having received proba-
bly, as much as $500 in initiation fees

rhe Fence OF tine Future.

There are number of strong pointsin
favor of the Tuna Hedge as the fence of
the future, the advantage of this kind of
fence may be briefly Enumerated as
follows: 1t becomes a perfect barrier
against all kinds of domestic animals
after three years growth; does not sap
or impoverish the ground, being strict
ly atmospheric plant, and will not grow
from the seed or by cutting the roots
hence will not spread, it grows only to a
certain uniform height and therefore
does not require trimming, it has been
thoroughly and successfully tested in
northern climates and does not kill out
in the winter time, it serves the double
purpose of usefulness and ornamen-
tation, as it is an evergreen and blooms
during three months of the year, an in
vitation is extended to thoroughly test
its merits, and every one will be con-
vinced that it possesses all the advant-
ages claimed for it. Messrs. johnson &
Payne are now taking orders for the
Tuna Hedge and have met with uniform
success. Any one wishing a living grow
ing fence something that will not spread
and will be fence for all time to come
should give their orders now and get
their fence started this fall.

ROusing Demonstration at the Court
House Last Night.
A large concourse of people assembled
at the Court house last evening, at
which time Senator j. H. Mitchell ad-
dressed them on the live political issues
of the day. The senator was introduced
by few spicy remarks from Mr.. B. S..
Huntington, chairman of the Mckinley
club.
Although suffering from severe cold
and sore throat, Mr.. Mitchell was not
remiss in hurting weapons at the de-
mocracy and the populist party. He
commenced by saying that it was not
his purpose to abuse democrats or popu-
| lists, but that he would endeayor to
abuse their party principles as much as
he could; that he did not abuse persons,
but the party doctrines which he be-
lieved to be erroneous.
1t was his intention to discuss some oi
the live issues of the day; but he had
noticed that some strange changes had
taken place in the democratic ranks IL

Facy in this state had left the party ano

Railroads In india.

Railway travel in Indiamay be made
very cheap, for although frst-class
fare is three cents a mile, the second
class is but q cent and o half, and
third class only a half cent. One has
little trouble with his baggage at the
stations. AS soon as the train stops,
says the author OF "Indika," he has
only to go to the door OF his compart-
ment and call out, "Kuli hai?" which
means, as there a porter about2"
and the question will be answered by
one or perhaps halfa dozen barefooted
natives.
At the time OF the dccennial pilgrim.
ages, thousands OF natives take the
train, crowding in with such perss-
tenCy that there is no withstanding
the pressure. Sometimes the rail-
road officials stand near the cars, and
with great bamboo rods beat away
the pilgrims, pounding them over the
head and shoulders with all their
might, in order to prevent the dense
crowd from Overwhelming the train.
The pilgrims and ordinary natives
use the third class carriages, but
Europeans are taking to them very
rapidly. When Bishop William Tay.
lor was making his four years
evangellstic tour through India, he
succeeded in setting that economical
fashion. 1t was not then considered
respectable to adopt such humble
means of travel, and he was asked;
"Why do you ride in third.class-
cars?"
His reply came on the instant.
Because there are no fourth-class-
cars!"
Since then, it has been respectable
for Europeans to travel by any class.

Iron Rust and Fires,

A writer in Iron says that il oxide
OF non is placed in contact with
timber excluded from the atmosphere,
and is subiected to a slightly increased
temperature, the oxide will part with
its oxygen and be converted into fine
particles OF metallic iron.
These particles have strong affinity
for oxygen, and il afterward exposed
to the action OF the atmosphere will
absorb oxygen sorapidIY as to become
suddenly red-hot. A sufficient quantity
OF such red-hot particles will produce
q temperature far beyond the ignition
point OF dry timber
Whenever iron pipes are employed
for the circulation OF any heated
medium, whether water, air or steam,
and are allowed to become rusty in
close contact with timber, it is only
necessary for the particles OF metallic
iron to be exposed to the air-which
may be done by the mere expansion
or contraction of the pipes-in order
to start flame.
Many OF the fires which occur so
regularly at the beginning Of winter
may be due to this unsupported cause.

What are political partiesp They
are an organization OF citizens banded
together for the advancement OF
cause nothing more nothing less.
Where questions OF government policy
are settled by the people political
parties are born OF necessity. People
would never have banded themselves
together for the purpose OF bearing
name, as Democrat or Republican. To
common sense patriotism the name
alone never commends a principle. 1t
ia always the principle which is
sought to be advanced that places
conscientious men within the ranks OF
their respective parties. The man
who allies himself with party which
antagonizes his ideas OF constitutional
government is commodity in the
political world, or Is slave to selfish
ambition, He is none the less untrue
to his manhood II he remains In u
party which antagonizes his theories.
