"A Roundabout Request.

Up on the top floor of the Phenix build
ing 200 men and women are employed,
day and night, as telegraph operators by
one Of the great telegraph companies.
One Of the strictest rules Of the Office,
which has been recently enforced, is the
one which prohibits operators to converse
during working hours. To leave their
desk while on duty is also forbidden.
Only few days ago two young man
were sitting at one desk opposite each
other. One of them was sending "press''
to New Orleans while the other was re-
ceiving messages from the same point.
The sender was addicted to the use Of to-
bacco. His supply had run out. Looking
across the other side of the desk, he spied
aplug at the side of his vis-a-vis.
The young man was in quandary. To
ask for the coveted weed would have been
. breach OF the rules. It was too far for
him to reach, SO he resolved on another
plan.
Stopping in his message, he asked the
receiver in New Orleans to tell his partner
on the other side to hand him q chew.
"Click, click, click" came the response
over the instrument on the other side OF
the glass partition. The tobacco was
thrown over, and one young man was
made happy.
The message had gone to New Orleans
and returned to Chicago in less than a
minute, and the chief clerk was no wiser.

A Singular Find.

Not long ago there was dug up in Ash
land curious stone with some dim and
crude inscription, or marks, upon it. 1t
being shown to an old Oregon pioneer,
he pronounced it temanewas stone,
worn as breastplate by the ancient In
dian priests. 1t has holes in the upper
corners by which 1t may be hung upon
the priests neck. It carries upon it a
picture of the sacred wigwam, and at one
end of the wigwam stands the totem
pole on the top of which little flag was
hung that warned the evil spirits off
while the priest performed his divine
functions in the sacred house or wigwam.
This temanewus represents man proba-
bly, very near the beginning and may
even coincide with the breastplate of
the Ephod, worn by the ancient Jewish
priests; so that the picture of the wig
wan on this may represent the primary
ancestor of all the temples or houses
ever dedicated TO divine purposes in the
world and all flag and liberty poles of all
ages and countries may possibly be the
lineal descendants of the. original totem
represented on the stone. Probably this
Ashland stone is the only one of the
kind now extant in the world.-Ashland

Raising Cranberries.

J.'O. Stearns of Lower Alsea, is the
pioneer cranberry farmer of the Yaquina
country. He has now under cultivation
half an acre, and has contracted with
parties for setting out another acre, and
they are now engaged in the work.
Forty thousand vines are required to
plant an acre. W. H. Hulz of Beaver
creek has secured 10000 plants of Mr..
Stearns to be put out this spring, and
Judge Blue and Henry Denlinger of
Yaquina have each obtained a small
supply of plants for experimental pur-
poses. 1t takes about four years for
plants to begin to bear. As the growth
of cranberries is limited to certain lati-
tudes, it will be impossible to overstock
the market.-State Journal.

The Wool Market.

G. G. Roberts, prominent wool
buyer, well known throughout Oregon, i,
states that the market for this year is
extremely problematical, and there is
no one who has any information that
would enable him to prognosticate, even
approximately, upon the prices that will
be paid. The only thing that can be
said with any degree of certainty is that
it will probably be low. There has been
a vast production of woolen goods,
and the Boston market now is over-sup-
piled. Buyers here have given the larg-
est amounts for wool ever paid in any
section, and in some instances have had a
hard time to come out whole, but this
was due to the fierce competition among
the buyers and no one but themselves
can be blamed.

The Cigarette Law.

The cigarette law bids fair to become
as notorious as the Iowa and Kansas
liquor cases, and it is currently reported
that the American Tobacco company or
in other words, the cigarette trust, pro-
poses to test the validity of Washing
toms anti-cigarette legislature and ex-
poets, on the grounds of decision of the
United States supreme court in the
Kansas liquor cases, to avert the effect of
the law. The court decided that the
state could make no law prohibiting the
sale of liquors, bearing the government
stamp, in the original package. 1t is
contended that each package of cigarettes
is an original package, and it is claimed
that similar law in Texas is being
evaded on these grounds:
