That Constitutional Provision.

The Grants Pass Courier takes this view
Of the discussion now being made of the
constitution of the state:
'Oregon people are given to talking now
and then of a constitutional convention to
revise our present fundamental law or form
ulate new one. 1t these hopeful persons
would but just glance over the field they
will realize that we have no constitution, SO
there is no need of amending 1t. Legisla-
lures pass laws every session that are in di.
rect conflict with the state constitution as
that instrument was framed previous to
Oregon's admission to the union. The state
university being located at Eugene, the
state agricultural college at Corvallis and
the proposed insane asylum at The DalIes
aud Soldiers Home at Roseburg are in di-
rect conflict with the state constitution,
which provides that no state institution
shall be located outside of Salem. The
much abused constitution also provides that
the state debt should not exceed $50 600.
1t is now over $500. 600 Counties are for
oiuuCu " SobtIdCt d OeDb VI over TOOUU.
Josephine is struggling along under load
of $4,000. The Salem attorney who has
sued out an injunction to restrain the erec-
ton of the branch asylum at The Dalies
and the Soldiers Home at Roseburg is en-.
titled to the thanks of the entire state.
We may now see if there really is anything
in Oregon's constitution which the state and
county officials are bound to respect. We
have only mentioned few of the VIOLA
tions. They run up into scores.

Genuine Politeness.

In the compartment with me were
three olCa Hindoo merchants, gray
bearded, dignified and respectable,
who evidently were natives of the
better sort.
Breakfast time came. We were
still many hot and dusty miles from
a refreshment station, and from the
depths of some of their bundles the
old gentlemen, who had evidently
travelled before, evolved a supply of
cooked food.
1t consisted simply of large bowl
of ''dal, like stiff pea soup, and a
pile of 'chapathes," small, leathery,
unleavened pancakes made of flour.
With my usual Indifference to the
wants of my inner man, 1 had neg
lected to provide myself with a
luncheon, and while I was thinking
of the nice breakfast 1 should have
in two or three hours one of the old
gentlemen suddenly thrust his fin
gers into the bowl of cooked "dal"-
they had no spoons, forks or knives
-scooped up a generous handful,
plastered it over little pile of "cha-
pathes, and with benevolent beam
over his spectacles handed it to me.
l was completely taken back for
an instant, for the old gentleman's
hands were as grimy as possible; but
accepted the food with my politest
bow and ate it with every appear
ance of gratitude.
I would have eaten it had it been
ten times as dirty as it was. The act
was as friendly as any man could
perform, and was pleased with its
pure charity and benevolence, if not
with the food.-'Two Years In Jun

Central Office Portland, Oregon. Crop.
\ Weather Bulletin, No. 8. for ioeek ending
Tuesday,, Nay IS, 1898:
| EASTERN OREGON.
Weather-Warm, clear weather has
prevailed during the week; in some OF
the interior counties non-lnjurious frosts
occurred on the 9th and 10th. Cores
pondents all agree that no more favorable
weather could have prevailed; no rain is
reported to have fallen except an occa-
sional sprinkle. The mean temperature
ranged from As to 56 degrees.
Crops, Etc.-The favorable weather has
caused vegetation to make rapid growth.
Peaches are somewhat injured, and will
not be a full crop. Other varieties of
fruit are fully up to the average. Locust
and cottonwood trees are coming into leaf
in the Columbia river valley. East and
south of the Blue mountains the fruit
buds are swelling and but few are so far
in bloom. Summer following is about
done. Fall sown rye Is heading in Wasco,
Sherman, Gillian and Morrow counties.
Fall wheat is from four to ten inches
high and spring grain IS coming up
Some wheat is jointing. Wire worms
continue TO do damage In Sherman county
Cutting of hay on Columbia bottom lands
has commenced. Shear1ng is nearly done
IN the Columbia river valley counties,
and an extra good wool clip has been Sc
cnred. Wool is now being hauled to the
warehouses. bitches are being prepared
for irrigation in Malheur and Harvey
counties. Peach and cherry trees are in
full bloom in Lake county Advancement
in the season has been made, but vegeta-
ton and farm work are in Grant, Crook |
and klamath counties behind that In the |
other counties.
tiivers-There has been steady rise in |
the Columbia and tributary riyers during |
The past week. The river at Portland is |
today 1853, higher point than ever be-
fore at this date in May when higher
water followed in June. The rivers will |
have steady, continuous rise for the next
six days, when for few days they may
become stationary.

Chafing of London Bus Drivers.

There are few classes of men who
possess a reader fund of anecdote
or greater quickness at repartee
than bus drivers. Unfortunately,
however, much of their humor is lost
when committed to paper, for it isn't
exactly what they say, it's the funny
way they say it, that, during some
passage of arms between two rival
coachmen, often provokes the risibil-
tiles of their passengers to the fullest
extent.
Those single horse buses which
ply between Charing Cross and West
minister bridge come in for a large
share of whitening remarks as well
as their patrons, owing no doubt to
the fact that the fare by one of them
is only a halfpenny, as against pen
ny by any of the other vehicles.
'Now, then, miss" exclaimed the
driver of an Atlas to an old lady who
was feeling for her purse preparatory
to getting inside the halfpenny
chamber of 'orrors, ''if you haven't
the necessary spondulicks, run home
and fetch two empty medicine bottles
or a few white rags-he'l take 'em."

A NOuahle Execution.

a <NOt1h4C LAcGutlOu
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1S-The ex
ecutIon of the Hebrews, Rosenzweig and
Blank, at Tunkhannock tomorrow, is an
important feature in the criminal history
of the country, as the men will be the
first Hebrews to suffer the death penalty,
not only in the United States but in
North America. Rabbi Radein, of New
York, who has been preparing the con-
demned men for death, says that only two
other Hebrews were ever sentenced to
death in this country-Rubenstein In
New York, who died before the day set
for his execution, and the other was con-
verted to the Prot estant faith. The He.
brews of this city have obtained permis.-
sion to bury the bodies according to The
rites of the church.
Rosenzweig and Blank were hanged
here .oday. Harris Blank and Isaac
Rosenzweig, natives of Russia, murdered
Jacob Marks, peddler, on Dutch noun
tain, in March, 1899. The executed men
were also peddlers.

of the bank when his horse stun bled and
bosh it and rider lost control of them
selves and were swept down stream. The
stream at that place is about twenty-five

that no assistance could be rendered TO

quantity of specimens taken out at the end

are pebble-like objects that are called the
geodes, and these contain a milky-whlte
substance. Mr.. BrophY, who has seen the
Moscow opal mines, states that the forma-
ton is OF exactly the same character as that
in which the Moscow opals occur-an IRON

for opais. He thinks the opals will dress
up well, and some will soon be cut. Two

they came to ford in the Frank Brass

more valor than discretion, started across.
