NOTICE.

To All Whom It May Concern:
By order of the Common Council of
Dalles City, made and entered on the Sd
day of April, 1894, notice is hereby given
that said City Council is about to pro-
ceed to order and make the improvement
of Eighth street in said city, as herein
after stated, and that, the cost of such
improvement will be levied upon the
property adjacent thereto, and said i'm
provement will be made unless within
fourteen days from the final publication
of this notice, the owners of two-thirds
of the property adjacent to said street
about to be improved shall file their re-
monslrance against such improvement
as by charter provided. The improve
ment contemplated and about to be
made is as follows:
To improve Eighth street in said city
by building a sidewalk six feet wide on

THE SHORTEST TmILIeHT.
quito, the Capital OF Ecuador, Leads the
World in This PecuIIarity.


quito, the Capital OF Ecuador, Leads the
World in This REGULARITY.
The period of twilight shortens
toward the equator and lengthens
toward the poles. In other words, the
less the thickness of air through which
the rays of the setting sun have to pass
the sooner darkness comes. From this
it naturally follows that the region OF
the shortest twilight is the one which
is Situated nearest to the equator and
at the greatest elevation.
These two conditions are combined
in the region in which stands Quito,
the capital of Ecuador This plateau
is nine thousand four hundred and
forty-two feet above the level of the
sea; it is also surrounded by noun
tains, twenty peaks, eleven of which
rise beyond the snow line, being Wis
ible from the streets of the city.
Added to this it is only fifteen miles
south of the equator; hence it has a
shorter twilight than any other spot
on the equator, partly because of the
elevation, and partly because the
western mountains intercept the rays
of the setting sun and SO cause dark
ness to follow daylight with greater
rapidity than at any other spot on
earth.

Instances of the Treachery and Wicked
ness of the Elephant.

Instances of the Treachery and Wicked
ness of the Elephant.
According to my observation, the
elephant is intelligent in a diabolical
way at times, but rarely ever up to the
mark when it's intelligence would be
useful. So with its docility. That
quality is prominent, no doubt, when
the exhibition of it is convenient to
the elephant, but one often looks for
it in vain when it is needed for the con-
venience of any other living creature
Then the elephant is a revengeful
beast. It is treacherous often, and,
with few exceptions, an arrant coward.
How very uncertain the docility of
an elephant may be, and how revenge
may be substituted for that quality,
was illustrated by an event that is
fresh in my mind, says a writer in
Blackwood's Magazine. A mahout
tried to drive his elephant into the CEN
ter of newly-excavated tank. The
elephant found out with its trunk that
a hole of some depth was just before it
and would not move. The mahout per-
sisted, and urged the recalcitrant ele-
phant with the iron goad, (the gujbag,)
and, after short conflict, the elephant
seized the mahout with its trunk,
dragged him off his seat on its neck,
and, placing him below its forefeet,
tranrled the life out of him,
This animal had some reason for be-
| ing annoyed by its driver, but there is
nothing to be said in extenuation of
another elephant that, apropos of moth
ing, tossed me with its tus1. 1 was
feeding that brute in the eventide,
when the days work was done and
this toiler, with others, had to be tend
ed and encouraged. was feeding it
with delicacies dear to the elephantine
palate, and, without rhyme or reason,
that docile and intelligent creature
butted me into the air, no doubt with
benevolent intention of impaling me
that was frustrated by my offering no
resistance to the tusk and by the blunt
ness of that weapon.

German citizen of Fort Madison had
been cured. He procured the same
medicine, and to use his own words: cit
cured me right up" He also says a
neighbor and his wife were both sick in
bed with rheumatism. Their boy was
over to my house and said they were SO

Arizona's wild CamcIs.

The wild camels in Arizona are in
creasing in number. 1t is regretted
that they are not captured and put -
service. Ever since they were pur-
chased by the government and turned
loose they have thrived until there are
now q good many of them, probably
800 or 400. No attempt has ever been
made to tame them, but if this was
done they would be of much greater
value than the ponies or burros, ex-
cept as mountain climbers. They
could carry greater loads and could
endure the arid plains better than
any of the beasts of burden now in
use. A few of them have been caught
and sold to menageries and geological
gardens, but not enough to make any
appreciable difference in the size Of
the drove. They are seldom seen,
keeping away from haunts Of man
kind, preferring to remain in the
most barren part Of the alkali lands.
They are now difficult to capture, but
it could be done, and they would
