Printing Postage Stamps.

On the Ist of July the government
OF the United States commenced print
ing its own postage stamps at the
bureau Of engraving and printing. Up
to this time they have been furnished
by private companies under contract,
the National Bank Note Co. of New
York having done the work for many
years Last spring, when it came time
to let the contract again, the bureau
of engraving and printing put in bid
which was less than one-half that of
any other bidder. There was con-
siderable opposition to having the
work done by the government, and
the other bidders made a great fuss
about it because, as they claimed, it
was unfair for Uncle Sam to compete
with them, because he had no interest
or rent to pay and expected no profit.
The question was finally carried to
congress when the plan of the secretary
of the treasury and the postmaster
general was sustained. The printing,
cumming and perforating machines
are in place at the printing bureau,
and new plates have been made from
the old dies. There will be new
design adopted soon, but for the
present the old ones will be used for
the common stamp-the 2.cent stamp
with the head Of Washington printed
in carmine ink, and the I-cent, which
bears the head of Franklin, and is
printed in ultramarine blue. In order
to distinguish those printed by the
government little ornament will be
placed in the blank space in the upper
corners.
This is fact of interest to collect.
ors. There is quite quantity of the
old stamps on hand, and the new ones
will not be issued until they are needed,
although it is necessary 10 keep a
large stock in the distributing offices,
as about 100000 2-cent stamps are
used daily and about 3,5oo,ooo of l.
cent denomination. Postage stamps
are printed by engraved cylinders in
sheets of 400. A die is first cut in a
block of steel about three inches
square, like an intaglio. The steel is
then hardened by what is known as
the decarbonizing process-that is,
the carbon is burned out of the metal
by subjecting it to intense heat, and
then the impression is transferred to
a roll or cylinder of soft steel, like a
cameo. From this the working plates
or rolls are made, which are atterward
hardened by the same process. This
method was invented by a Vermont
Yankee, named Perkins, about half a
century ago. He took the invention
to London, and tried to sell it to the
British government, but the officials
over there were opposed to innovations
as usual, and Mr.. Perkins brought il
back home and sold the patent to his
own government.
The stamp collectors have cornered
the ST. stamps of the Columbian issue
and uncanceled ones are now worth

It Might Have Been.


We were shown letter this morning
written by stranger from the Eastern
states, who has been here, to gentle
man of this city. The letter is curt
condemnation of The Dalles and all its
surroundings. The writer says that he
intended to locate here, and expected to
circulate whole lots of money, but that
he changed his mind, and now he
wouldn't let go of cent in Wasco
county; no, sir, not if he got two back.
The reason he gives for this sudden re-
vulsion of feelingis that he was Charged
twenty-five cents for very poor ten
cent shave," and he concluded therefore
that we were thieves and robbers un-
considerable. And SO he took his dishes
and his doll babies, quit padding in our
rain-water barrel and sliding down our
cellar door, vowed he would never,
never swing on our gate, or play with
US any more, and went away mad.
He was going to circulate just whole
lots OF money, but he will never, no
never circulate it now. And yet one
would think that to amputate the
whiskers that found root in that ada
mantine cheek were well worth two bits

SIGNrD q bO1Oo WILL.

Daring Trick Intended to Pervert the
Meaning of Mans Deposition.
''One of the most daring tricks ever
came across, said New York attorney
the other day, according to the ST..
Louis Globe Democrat, twas in the case
of man who deliberately impersonated
a lawyers clerk and persuaded a very
sick man to sign will without reading
it and which disposed of his property in
direct opposition to his wishes. 1t was
a case of family dispute, and the old
gentleman, who was quite wealthy,
had decided to disinherit his eldest son
and leave the property to younger
one. Being warned by his doctor that
he had only day or two more to live
he sent instructions to his attorney to
draft his will and send it down prompt
ly for signature.
while the lawyer was preparing the
document representative of the eldest
son arrived with paper, which he said
was the will prepared by the sick mans
attorney. The will was signed with
out hesitation and duly witnessed, and
when, two hours later, the lawyers
clerk arrived with the genuine will he
was not allowed to enter the house,
being warned off the premises by the
nOuSckcSpof- On MS return 10 U1S OF
fee his employer saw at once that a
fraud had been committed, and he
hastened to the house to have it set
right. In the meantime, however, the
sick man had become unconscious, and
he died without being able to execute a
will after his own wishes. The bogus
win was upset, but the fraud could
never be sufficiently proved to convict
the man suspected of concocting it, and
he inherited quite large sum of money
as the next of kim
