holding up to US warning hand.
Half q dozen OF Us, mounted and on
loot. were descending q sharp little
pitch ct ground that led down into q
marrow gulch.
DO you see him, Uncle Jerry?'' asked
Ben Arle, our leader, hating his mule
and beginning to unsling his Henry
rifle.
Don't see him, sab, :" said Uncle Jer-
y, making q sort of speaking trumpet
or his huge right hand and croaking in
hoarse half whisper. s.Kain't see him.
sab, but de tracks am mighty fresh!'
'Oh, is that ALP said Ben, swinging
his gun back over his shoulder. Il
thought you had him in sight"
No, sah-hain't got him in sight an
don't want him in sight dis time in de
ebenin."
It was about sunset, and the shadows
under the dense pine forest and in the
depths OF the great canyons were fast
deepening into dusk. Uncle Jerry had
just before been sent ahead to lools
up camping place, but at the foot
OF the first hill he descended after being
dispatched ON the congenial mission had
struck his ''b'ar tracks"
rs AS we came up and gathered about
the old man he pointed to the ground
and said: '.Look at dis onct. Cap'n Ben,"
pointing to a track in the mud beside
the brooklet. ''See, sab, de water watts
a-trinklum into dis yere track hain't yit
fill it up. No, sab. Dat track, sab,
hain't been made not tree minitr'

Bob Temple, preparing to dismount.

. big chunk of er cinnamon bar"
He is only little way up the gulch,"
said Ben Arle, probably not three hum
dred yards away. On hearing us he
would halt, rear up and stand listening
to get our course"
The gulch was so narrow that the
willows reaching out from its opposite
banks almost met in the center. Seen
in the cleaning. it was decidedly o
pokerish looking place.

water Power and Electric L,eht..

In nearly all the northwestern states
which are billy or mountainous water
powers are abundant. Swift streams are
lowing down everywhere. These are Just
what electricians want. Finding stream
anywhere within or 10 miles Of thriv.
ing town, they are ready to light that town
and furnish power cheaper than it ever
could be furnished by the use of coal. This,
to great extent, is the practical solution
OF the question Of cheap lights, heat aud
power. 1t will not be available in many
large cities, although it has never been
settled as to the distance that this power
can be transmitted with economy.-Ex.

story OF London Tower CLOCK.
II can remember the old clock in the
steeple Of the Church Of st. Magnus In
London just as well as il only saw it yes
terlay. although it Is 30 years since left
London" said Thomas +. Anderson at the
Laclede. There was an interesting history
attached to that old clock. Along about
the latter part Of the seventeenth century
Thomas Duncombe. aftcrward Sir Thomas
Duncombe and lord mayor Of London, had
to wait for his master on the bridge, and
time and time again he was puzzled to
know the time 1t was while waiting there
one bitter cold night that he made reso-
luton that II he was ever able he would
put clock in that steeple, 20 that other
people would not have to worry as he did.
He prosperetl in life and kept his word,
and that old clock has been In that steeple
now for nearly 1870 years. and it is keeping
time yet for the whole neighborhood Of
Bridge.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

We print below the order of Judge
Gunter delivered at Trinidad on Sat
urday last, In the hearing, John Hess
VS.. The La Junta & Lamar Canal
Company:
This cause came on to be heard
May 27, 1893, on the motion of plain
till to have receiver appointed of
the property in controversy, likewise
on motion of the defendant for a
dissolution of the injunction hereto
fore issued; and after argument of
counsel, it is ordered that the plain
tiff's motion for receiver is for the
present overruled, with leave, how
ever, to renew the application at any
time hereafter on five (o) days notice;
and the injunction heretofore issued
is so far modified as to restrain the
defendant from issuing any more
water rights, that portion of the in
junction which restrained the defen-
dant from collecting assessments for
the current year from the consumers
of water or from shutting down gates
for refusal to pay, in canal being va

Among the experimental stations
of the state is one on the Divide"
north of Colorado Springs. 1t differs
from all others of the state, inasmuch
as no irrigation is practiced-all the
products and experiments depending
upon the natural rainfall for mois-
ture. Special attention has been paid
to grasses, in the endeavor to find
some that can be depended upon
without irrigation. Twenty different
varieties have been tested at this
station and the one that has given
the best results, and from which
much is expected, rs the Bronze grass,
the first seed being imported by ex-
Secretary Rusk four years ago from
Russia. The tests have shown it a
success both for hay and grazing. 1t
stood at that altitude 5000 feet) two
winters without trace os loss. 1t was
but little affected by heat or drouth.
The yield was large. Two crops per
year were cut, the first about the last
of June. 1t is believed that it will
be the alfalfa of the rainbelt coun-
ties. The scarcity and high price of
the seed will prevent its coming into
general use for some time yet.

The cost of final homestead proof
at various land offices in this state is
about Sl3, divided as follows-f-
nal fee So, advertising $3.50 and
testimony fees at the rate of 22l
cents for each 100 words varying
from S1.25 to 81 according to the
volume OF testimony taken. In a
committed homestead, no final fee
is paid. One dollar and twenty five
cents per acre is paid for the land
unless it is double minimum, when
$3.50 is paid. The advertising and
testimony is the same as in final
homestead. By combining" notices
the publication fee is lessened. Two
notices when combined are published
for SS.25, three for S11 four Sl3.75
etc. In timber cultures the cost is
the same as committed homestead
except that the testimony is usually
more voluminous hence costs more.

Pueblo is endeavoring to raise
$4,000 to advertise its attractions as
a health resort. 1t will be looked
upon as desperate effort to bring
business to the place, and hurt rather
than help the city. 1t can't monop-
olize all the resources of the state.
The smoke that pours day and night
from its many stacks, precludes its
being sought by invalids, if other
conditions were favorable. 1t had
better be content with its manifest
destiny-to be the greatest manufac-
turing city of the far west-and pa
tiently wait for the growth and pros
perity that will surely come. 1t can
afford to let other sections of the
state that have nothing but air and
scenery, monopolize the health bust
ness. 1t wouldn't make a summer
town even if put in cold storage and
it had better use that $4,000 to start
some new manufacturing industry.

Notwithstanding the strenuous op-
position from all parts of the coun-
try, and the express stipulation
carried by the congressional appro-
priation of two and half millions,
the managers of the Worlds Fair
voted to open its doors on Sunday.
and did so on the 2Sth. The aid of
the courts has been asked to enforce
closing on the Sabbath. We are of
the opinion that the visitors to the
city would spend their time at the
Fair as advantageously as in veiwing
other sights in the big town.

For the information of those who
may be rendered positions in the va
rious land offices, and may be in
doubt whether or not they should ac-
cept them, we will say that the sala-
ry of the register and receiver is $500
per year. Added to this are fees and
commissions to the amount of
$500, if the office earns that
amount. A maximum office is
therefore worth $4,000 per annum to
the r. and r. Above that the COM
pensation cannot go, and all fees and
commissions in excess of $1,000 go
to the general fund. This Office is
worth-well it is worth accepting

Last Friday a dozen or so of Mr..
Pealer's friends and neighbors gathered
at his place and had a genuine old
fashioned wood-cutting bse. After a
hearty dinner prepared bE the better
halves they went at it again "fit to
split' and got him up enough wood to
last all winter. All enjoyed it so much
they voted to meet again Tuesday and
cut for Grandma Clark and Mrs. Sey-
mour. Pursuant to adiournmcut,so some
seventeen men and three or four teams
met and cracked their jokes while they
cracked the knots. The "women folks"
furnished them "pies'n things but
nothing would do but they must fiji

go. Remarks were frequently made

as the best. Y.

Electricity is about the last thing to
be thought of in connection with oysters,
yet a very close association between
them has been established by NJ. Lacase-
Dutheier, the well known authority on
oyster culture. He makes use of the
electric light in examining the stages Of
development through which the spawn
passes. A glass cylinder is mounted in
a cylindrical skeleton cage which serves
as a support, and into this glass the
water containing the spawn is placed.
At the bottom is silvered reflector, and
the cover forms a parabolic reflector, in
the center Of which is fixed smal! in
candescent lamp. The reflector and
sides Of the glass cylinder act in such a
way that but few rays Of light emerge
from the apparatus directly, heLce the
liquid is suffused with a soft illumina-
ton which is admirably suited to the
examination Of the contents. A modif-
cation Of this little apparatus is now be-
ing employed in various researches into
the life processes of ferments and the
culture Of nicrobes.-N York Tele-

The Wilson tariff b,ll is meetiug
with opposition from all sides, and it is
doubtful if it can be passed, That this
is so is quite natural since, as Hancock
asserted, 1.-THE tariff is a local question. -
The wool grower naturally objects 10
his product being put on the free list,
she sugar grower does likewise, aud 50
on through the entire list. II u tarif
hill could be framed that would benefit
every citizen alike, opposition to the
theory would at o'ce cease This can
not be done since many calliugs from
their very nature are incapable of.leiug
protected, the publishing of Il news,
paper for instance. To offset this, the
special plea is made that, while such
occupations cannot be protected direct
ly, they are So protected indirectly 10y
sharing in the alleged prosperity super
induced by the protective system. This
may or may not oe true; but it SO, the
indirect benefits are not plain enough
to satisfy the unprotected. The cattle
raiser can scarcely admit that the sheep
feeding on the government ranges
should have its hide or wool protected
while the patient COW feeding by its
s de sheds its hide in the Slaughter
houses to reach the market in competi-
ton with that of hef species from South
America. 1t is the unavoidable dis
elimination of the system, that gives
to one class of citizens that which it
exacts from all, that makes the tariff
Objectionable. The democracy can no
more get around the difficulty than the
republicans could, and Democratic so
per cent revenue is rs Objectionable in
principal as republican 40 per cent. We
believe in the doctrine of free trade, be-
cause, like every other person in Hood
River we belong TO that class which
puts up its coin for the benefit of 9TH
ers and is not benefited itself.

The trial of Lotar, Mulkey and 9TH

is going on. The prosecution is being
conducted by Hon. John NJ. Gearin,

him are twenty of Portland's abiest at

We are in receipt of the first copy of
the TOmdhd,Ck, a weekly democratic
paper published in Portland, which
was first permitted to see the light on
the 18th inst. The paper asserts that it
is going to assist in making Oregon
dtmOcratic with its little hatchet. This
may be, but we think our new contem-
porary will find a scalping knife, Cat
ling gun and torpedo boat necessary to
the accomplishment of that laudable
undertaking. The first issue is gentle
as cooling dove and mild as milk aud
water. 1t has neither the staggering
bluster of the tomtlt nor the valorous
bombast of an enraged hen, but we
fancy it will make the republicans
tired-if they take it regularly.
