Salem Statesman: Governor Pennoyer

lst to the Oregonian that he had written to
house to defeat by all means any project for

out any foundation whatever. He said his
whole offense, if any, was in urging the pas
sage OF an appropriation for portage rail-
road, and in that matter he had the support
of the legislature of Oregon, as that hody at
its last session had unanimously passed a
priation. As to his receiving no reply from
the chief of engineers, he expressed no dis
appointment. That functionary in January,
1889, recommended q portage road and in
December 1889 opposed it,, and the discour-
teous refusal OF man possessed Of such
whiting judgment to reply to his letter he
said did not cause him any loss of sleep.
the Governor believed that the dispatch
was doubtless instigated by one or both of
our senators and he was content to let the
people of Oregon decide which scheme was
most beneficial--the partage railroad cost
ing $43l, ,500 which could be built in one
year, or the boat railway costing 81, $50, 356
which,lf appropriations were made for it by
the government as appropriations have been
made for the cascade locks, would occupy

lost about this time last winter at Fetter's

the pack horse having fallen down the grade
and drowned, was found last Saturday at
the mouth of Rock creek, several miles from
where it had been lost. On an examination
of its contents there was little remaining
that was legible. Most of the writing was
obliterated from the letters. A check for

Astorian: Emsley Houghton was in from
Skipanon Tuesday. He and Billy Stoddard
were down toward Arch rock last week and
struck in toward the mountain where they
found a man irving out shakes to build him.
self house. He'd cut down tolerable
good looking tree, a spruce about SIX feet in
diameter, but after telling it he found it
was hollow about twenty-five feet above
the butt. Looking into the cavity he saw
it was chock full of bears-there wuz eight
of 'em. The animals had holed up for the
winter. The man at once split off some
slabs, sawed off the hollow part, spiked the
slabs over the hole and started the log down
the steep mountain side toward his place,
where it arrived all safe. While Houghton
and Stoddard were there they could see the
bears through the cracks where the man
had nailed on the slabs. They are lying in
state of semi-torper.

Tue Chicago Tribune finds
secondary cause OF Cleveland's
election in the fact that of the new
votes cast in the northern states,
by careful estimate 100000 were
those of men who have become
naturalized since 1883 and voted
for Cleveland, to not more than
$4,000 who voted for Harrison.
There were naturalized this fail
in the city Of New York 10000
foreigners and $4,000 in Brooklyn
and 5000 in the rest of the state.
Nine-tenths of these persons, or
81, 900, voted for Cleveland, and
about 5000 for Harrison. This gave
him his majority ia the state.
Thirty thousand men have been
naturalized in Cook county since
the early months of 1891. Five
sixths of these, or $4,000, voted
for Cleveland and the democratic
candidates. This, the Tribune
thinks, makes it clear where Cleve-
land got his majorities. The re-
publican party has been accused
of tempting hordes of foreigners to
this country by the bait of high
wages and easily gained property.
If SO, it appears to have nursed a
viper in its bosom.-Oregonian.

AARRslGs AND DIVoRCE.
On the 18th inst. at .Portlan

On the 18th inst. at Portland,
Or, before the state bar associa-
ton, a summary of all county re-
ports was read, showing that dur
ing 1891 there were 2,110 marri-
ages celebrated in Oregon and 459
divorces granted, OF about five
marriages to one divorce. Con-
necticut has about II marriages to
divorce; Massachusetts, 80;
Ohio, 90; Rhode Island, II; Yer
mont, IS; New Hampshire, 10;
Maryland, 81; Kansas, II; Wis
consin, 81.
1t is. worth while to compare
these figures with those of the old
world. Belgium averaged 1ss
marriages to one divorce; France,
13S marriages to 46; England, 71o.
In some years Catholic Ireland
averages over 10000 marriages to
one divorce; Berlin, in 1885, had
19 marriages to one divorce, while
Stockholm for the same year had
81 to /. In 1885 there were 47G
marriages in Russia to one divorce:
in Switzerland, %; in Belgium
13S; in Prussia, SO. Italy grants
her welded sufferers 10 absolute
divorce.
