bauph Placer mine this winter, and 1t will
REQUIRE several days yet to complete the
spring clean up. This is not SO bad remu-
neration for two men to realize from about
four months work with small giant and
light head of water. The dust taken from
this mine averages about $40 per ounce and
the total output will aggregate $1,000 for
the winters run Tnere is no doubt hun
dreds of acres of this phenomenally rich
placer ground between this place and Can
yonville, yet cannot be protitably worked
for want of water. Were this valuable
ground located In California instead OF Ore
gon, not a SINGLE season would pass before
hume like the one projected by W. @.
Stanley would be an accomplished fact.

The John Day is Booming.


The John Day is again past high water
mark, doing damage to property right
along. The Griffith family have again
been compelled to move out of their
home. Parsons ferry is off duty and so
is Clarno's and Charlie Clarno's steam
boat has again been pressed into service
to cross the mails and passengers. The
settlers on the river have lost most of
their old hay, and the outlook for crop
this year is not very flattering, as it will
be rather late in the season before the
land now inundated will be dry enough
to admit cultivation. Johnnie Clarno
has saved some hay, but his orchard has
suffered severely from the flood, many
of his trees having been washed down.
Peaslee & McAllister's ranch is reported
to be ruined, two great canals having
been ~ut through it and the arabic land
being covered with rocks and gravel.
We are informed that Mr.. Peaslee in
tends to abandon the ranch.

electric cars can go at full speed around corners and up hills which de- fy any other known locomotive power. Their construction is now so cheap that they can in most instances be built and equipped by local capital. This system is designed 10 penauate every township and hamlet on the trunk line and for miles on either sids. Electric power for operating these lines can be easily and eheaply furnished by the unimproved wate.' privileges abounding on the various routes.
 This Is an attractive layout. or courps such schemes are against the quiet of the country roads. and as a Connecticut humofist remarked. they will Interfere with the peace Of mind of the farmers horses. and they will make !s nseossary for the children of the farmers to be careful where and how they make their mud pies. But they promise much for thousands Of communities which are now isolated. They also promise much In the way of making and losing money.

 Girls with infantile faces may cut a fringe of curls all around the face and along the nape of the neck. It may be only one row of deep curls along the nape of the neck and may extend all most to the top of the head in front At the sides the curls wave from a cen tral parting and half cover the ears. What hair Is left Is gathered into g. nt- tie pug at the back of the head. With a great big null hat, made very large crowned so that 1t sets low over the ears, such coiffure will make the ver- fest imp of little filrt look as demure as can be.

4 THEORY.

We are asked: Why do so many girls and women whom they take their walks abroad carry their heads far back and inclined to the left2 How do we know2 How docs anybody know? There may be a reason for some of tho things done by girls and women. and there may be a reason why many of them should stick their ohins out into space in the manner above mentioned. The old phrenologists used to say that such a carriage of the head denoted Intense self-conoeit. tho idea being. we suppose that the bump of self-ssteem, which Is located near the top ot the back part of tho head, was so predominant that it overbalanoed ths other bumps and pulled the head back and the chin up. This may possibly be an answer 10 the question asked us. but. sticking to phrenology, we prefer to believe that 1t is the bumps on the lower back part of the head that do the business in these days. Among them are the bumps which indicate love of home. love of husband and children and other domes- tic and womanly qualities. These are the bumps that are pulling the heads of girls. and women over and making their chins rather unpleasantly promi- nent. That this is so must easily be plain to anybody who knows how in- creasingly conspicuous the qualities in- dicated by these bumps are in the girls and women. and how lacking they are in the quality indicated by the bump of self-esteem. We invite the attention of phrenolog1sts, philanthropists and all students and friends of humanity to the theory that the female sex Is becom- ing abnormally developed in the quali- ties that make good wives and good mothers.

THIS COUNTRY NOT HIS.

Theanarchist has been described as the man without country. He will certainly be without country so far as the United States is concerned if the bill which has ben passed by the senate is passed by the house, as it probably will be. This bill provides that no an- archist shall be admitted into the United States. To facilitate the opera ton of the law inspectors are to be stationed at the chief ports of departure for emigrants to inspect all passengers for the United States, and If any are found that ought not to be permitted to land in this country the insp ector may forbid their transportation and erase their names from the ships pass enger list. This inspection is to be pre- liminary to the one required at the port of arrival by the act of March 8, 1893, but neither of these inspections will re- lieve steamship companies from any of their duties or responsibilities under ex- isting laws. Every foreign born and unnaturalized person, not excepting one who has declared his intention to be- come a citizen, if convicted of a crime or misdemeanor in federal state or territorial court may be haled before a commissioner of immigration, and by his orders be sent back to the country from which he came, provided that the judge before whom the offender was tried shall certify that such alien is an anarchist or that he is not a man of good character, or that he is not at tached to the principles of the con- stitution of the United States, or Is not well disposed to the good order and hap piness of the same and that his re- maining in this country will be a menace to the government, or to the peace and we'll being of society in general, this deportation to be in addition to such other punishments as the court may have ordered. .
 This bill is not in the interest of free dom as freedom is understood by those who want to abuse 1t, but it Is decided ly in the interest of the kind of freedom that has been the chief blessing of this country, and which, has been menaced by those at whom the proposed law is aimed,

ELECTRIC ROAD SCHEMES.

The electric road business Is already very interesting and important, but 1t will. soon bs much more so The plan to connect New York and Philadelphia by an electric road Is being actively carried out. and in other parts of the country electric roads are being rapidly extended. Such is the case in our own
 State, and the next legislature will be callad on to deal with number of electric road schemes. So. too, will the
 legislature of the State of Now Hamp- shire, and ous of the plans now on foot
 in that Stats Is well worth attention.
 A charter will bs asked for trunk line extending up the Merrimac valley from Massachusetts and from the headwstsrs of the Merrimae to the banks of the St. Lawrence opposite Quebec, and osv. efsng in its route the mountain, lake and wildwood regions of New Hampshire and Canada. From this trunk line bsanehss are dssigned to extend east and west at all points which it is dis- sirabls to reach. This system of roads will have the opposition of the steam companies, as 1t Is proposed to carry not only passengers, but baggage. ,sx- press and fsasht The prospect is enough to make the farmer rub his eyes, fer t the plan Is ever realized he will have the vssv market trans- portation wahich he hes been signing for.
