REFUSE TO SETTLE.
Portland Firms Think They Havs Been Swim
died on Adv.rtising Scheme.

PORTLAND, March 20.-Some time ago a
man called at the store of j. w. Perkins &
Co. and handed calendar to the book
keeper and requested receipt forit. Geo.
w. Dow, the bookkeeper, signed what he
declares was . blank receipt. Today a man
came into the Office and presented printed
order purporting to be Issued by the Mer-
camille Publishing Co. of Boston, with
spaces between the printed words filled in
with writing. The order was for a certain
amount of advertising space in directory
published by the company to the amount of
$40. The book-keeper at once recocnized
the order rs the receipt he had signed for
the calendar.
The order claiming to come from
this firm is sample of
great number of orders that
the man clsimed to have received from
other business firms, such as J. B. Brown
& Sons, Woodbury. & Moulton, Milliken,
.Cousens & Short, j. & E. r. Barbour,
Ryan & Kelsey. Several of these firms
have paid money when the orders were
presented, though they say they never gave
the order.
Tonight the police arrested two men, Civ
ing the names Of S. E. Mcintyre and F. f.
Main. The latter ssys he own the directory
and his business is legitimate. He said he
knew nothing the calendar business. that he
employ ed agents and he came here to col
lect tn. money on the orders obtained BY
them. He says Mcintyre is his assistant.

wants the Gardiner Farminsioa Road Built
al IN Early oais.

WINTHROP, March 20.-( Especial. This
town has got the railroad fever. Probably
caught it from nsighboring towns where the
epidemic has been prevailing for some time
past. Though this fever has been lowering
around the town more Or lees during past
years yet it has not been so prevalent as it
is now. Not many yesSs ago the project of
putting the Pennington & Gardiner Rail-
road through was aeitated at some length
and the enthusiasm was at high pitch for it
would open up territory which was snd is
at the present time lying dormant, so far as
the business interests are concerned. But
the enterprise has apparently died of want
of care. Three years ago the Legis-
lature granted charter to certain
individuals for an electric road from
Winthrop to Augusta, via Hammond's
Grove. This scheme was talked about by
Augusta parties, as it would greatly accom-
modate those who made Hammond's Grove
their summer home.
The project has been lately discussed by
prominent men Of this place, and the feel
ing is quite general that road of this kind
could be made to pay, especially IN the
ouumCAS WnCA RSutAN 80 6VAuS " sAS 80
shore Or for days outing at the salt
water.
The people of this place, shut in as they
are from the salt sea air and the pleasure
of enjoying a salt water bath occasionally,
renders it probable that should such rail-
road ever be put through the summer pat
ronage would be large and Augusta traders
would be benefited to no small degree.
People have for long time wished for
Just such road, where they could make
quick trip to the river ard enjoy q delight
full sail down the Kennebec and get back at
an early hour the same day.
Would it not be benefit to both ends Of
the route? That is the question that seems
to be agitating the minds of the moneyed
men of this place at the present time. No
doubt before long time a company will
be formed and some kind of road will
connect this place with the river cities.

DOn't..DO Not.

Don't read this if you expect to find
the old sterotyped advice unamended.
Don't 60 to bed with cold feet un-
less they have been picked and taken
inwardly.
Don't lie ON the left side too much
lie on the right side all you can, as
it pays better
Don't jump out of bed immediately
after awakening in the morning-but
this advice is unnecessary. No sane
man ever did it.
Don't eat between meals-if you get
hungryl have the meals oftener or
whenever you get hungry.
Don't take long walks on an empty
stomach. If you want to walk on a
stomach at all, try and find a full
one. as it is softer travelling. A
stomach is not very good place for a
long walk, anyway.-Texas Siftings.

Interstate Fair Letter.
TACOMA, Sept. II, 1894

TACOMA, Sept. II, 1894
One of the most wonderful exhibits
of natural products at the Interstate
fair is to be found in the Oregon sec.
ton, which covers one-quarter of the
floor space in the agricultural and
horticultural building. The exhibit
was installed by Commissioner c. F,
Miller. In the center of the section
stands a beautiful grain palace, COM
posed entirely of grains and grasses
grown in the Willamette valley. Over
% varieties of rye. wheat, oats, timothy
and clover are found woven in the
walls of the building. The tower is
surmounted bya colder sheaf of oats.
About the walls are shelves on
which are seen glass shells filled with
grain. Elsewhere are seen long tables
on which other grains, fruits and
vegetables are exhibited. The fruit
display is notable ONE. One pear,
lacking but an ounce of five pounds
in weight, attracts much attention.
Some fine specimens of mounted fish
are shown. One magnificent Chi
nook salmon, weighing IS pounds.
Alaska makes better mineral dis
play than ever before. Sixty one of
the greatest Alask an mines are repre-
sented.
October 4th promises to be one of
the greatest days of the whole fair
season. 1t is Portland, Elks, Athletic,
Mystic Shriners and Port Townsend
day all combined. The Elks promise
to send large delegations from all the
prominent lodges of the coast. San
Francisco lodge No. 6 and an Oakland
lodge are preparing to be we'll repre-
sented. For the athletes special
series of field and indoor sports has
been arranged to terminate with box
ing and wrestling matches in which
Patsy Corrigan, Jimmy Whalen and
other prominent professionals will ap-
pear. From Portland will come a
large excursion, and from Port Town
send special steamer will carry
another large crowd.

The. Thunder Bird,

The Rev. Myron Eeils, who for o
score of years has been a missionary
among the Indians of Puget Sound,
has made Investigations into the
myths and traditions of the people
among whom he has labored, and has
stored up many an interesting story
OF the thunder bird superstition. He
says:
"The general idea among the In
dlans is that thunder is caused by an
immense bird, whose size darkens the
heavens, whose body is the thunder
cloud, the Tapping of whose wings
causes the thunder, and the bolts of
fire, winch it sends out of its mouth
to kill the whale for its food, are the
Tightening. The Makahs and some
other tribes, however, insist the ami
NAL with two-fold character, human
and bird-like. According to them the
being is supposed to be gigantic In
dian named i'm the dialects of the va
rio,ls coast tribes Kakaitch, T'hlukluts,
and Tu tutsh, the latter being the
Nootkan name. He lives in the high
est mountains and his food consists of
whales. When he wants food he puts
ON great garment, which is made of

Defiance, from 200 to 300 people have
colonized in bivouacs of every de-
scription that can give shelter from
rain and sun. The hotel resorts where
the simple expenses of living run up
from SO to $5 per day, and where the
conventionalities of dressing for dim
ner and for the evening are observed,
are meanwhile comparatively empty.
A mode of outing, that while afford
ing to the majority very real but un-
conventio nal pleasure, does not call
for greater expense than must be
borne in work-a-day life where rigid
economy is observed, appeals very
strongly to the pockets and disposi-
tlons of most people at present. The
jolly experiences of this summer guar
antees the belief that the feature of
tenting on the beach, in connection
with boating, bathing, fishing and
hunting, picking berries and clam
digging will not abate as years roll by.
While on the subject of CLAIMS, the
citizen enters an earnest protest to
the general defamation of the horse
clam. To say that he is not edible
and excellently so, is libel on his
leading and most appealing virtue.
The Citizen has had enough French
gastrinomical Gf the word is good)
experience to undertake the eating of
pretty generally anything if it is we'll
cooked. So, when on a clam-digging
tour he saw numerous horse CLAIMS
squirting defiance at him, he mined
them out and ate them with as great
relish as he could ever bring to bear
on go-duck or whatever it is called.
Ii there is any difference between a
go-duck and horse clam it lies in
shape and size and not in tenderness
or flavor Among the splendid natural
resources of Washington the horse
clam should be raked in the front
rank. 1t is harmful and unpatriotic
to berate his excellence. To mine out
a go-duck = three or four foot shaft
must be sunk, while horse CLAIMS can
be rated along the line of simple sur
face digging, which is another brill
liant point in his favor that can be ap-
preciated by anyone who has had ex-
perience in clam digging.-Citizen.

Cabling to Australia.

A telegraph message from New
York to Australia has to 90 nearly
twenty thousand miles. OF this near
ly fifteen thousands miles is by subma-
rine cable. It takes some little time
to send message, as Oh its way it has
to be handled by fifteen operators at
various stations, at each one of which
it is relaid, hence the time of rewrit-
ing at each station is quite an item.
The longest submarine cables are the
transatlantic, which are some 2OOO
miles long. The longest continuous
land line is not, as many suppose, in
America. Although there is direct
communication from New York to
California, it is not continuous wire.
The longest land wire in the world is
across the continent of Australia. It
extends from Port Darwin to Adelaide,
a distance of 2,15O miles.

coed" Mr.. Meyer is lingering in
Washington because he is ashamed to
60 home and face his constituents
The best assurance he has been able
to get from Secretary Carlisle is that
the administration will kill the bill
for free sugar which has already been
passed by the House.
Secretary Carlisle's tariff decisions
are going to make no end of litigation.
Nearly every day he makes one that
brings notice from the parties inter
ested of an intention to contest it in
the courts.
