AN OREGON TYPEWRITER.

Matthias Jensen, of Astoria, has
just finished the model Of a new type
writing machine. The invention is
made on nearly the same principle as
the old Remington, with rollers to
carry and hold the paper and an ink
strap to ink the types. 1t is operated
by an ordinary penholder, held in the
ordinary way, and the characters
representing the types are marked
on plate so closely together that a
pointer" to which the penholder is
Joined, can be conveniently placed
on any letter by the simple motion
of the fingers, while the hand itself
is at rest on a fixed plate. The
pointer is so connected with a type
wheel, by means of springs and lev
ers, that when placed approximately
near to any character on the plate a
corresponding type On the wheel will
be in proper position to be accurately
copied ON the paper by slight down.
ward pressure on the penholder. The
machine is rare combination Of
strength, simplicity and lightness, and
the inventor says can be sold at q
profit for $40. 1t will weigh less than
eight pounds and is not more than
one-quarter the size of sn ordinary
stypewriting machine.

WE WON'T GIVE IN.

Storms may howl from East to West
Sun hide out by day;
Cotton worms do their best
Country short on hay;
Still, we amt a-going to give in
While the world owes all livin!
Let the cotton rise an fall!
Let the corn give out;
Let the strongest horses stall,
Flounderin' about!
Amt a bit O. use to give in
While the world owes all livin'!
If the crop is short, the land
Still is bread an long;
Still the hoe is in the hand
Still the mule is strong!
Never gOin' to see us give in
While the world owes all a livin'!
What's the use to sit an pine
When the cold wind blows?
Takes a lot O rains an shine
Jest to make a rose!
Roses die an vioiets give in,
But the world owes folks a livin'!

WHERE THE CENTS TELL.
The Cheap Prices that Rule the Mar
ket on the East Side.

A scale of prices obtains on the
east side which shows that it is the
useful cent and not the almighty dol
lar that makes its presence felt over
there. Are you thirsty? You can get
glass of soda water for two cents,
syrup and all; but if you want to ILL
dulge in the extravaganza of cream it
will cost you three cents. A glass of
lemonade scooped out of a common
receptacle is to be had for cent; but
if you are exclusive in your tastes
and wish to see the lemon cut and
squeezed, the sugar ladled out, and
the whole beverage prepared to order
you will meet with the prohibitOry
tariff of five cents.
In the matter of cigars cheapness
has been Whitfield down to a fine
point. Beginning at the top of the
scale with the Havana perfecto, the
price of that aristocratic weed is q
| cents for six. Key West cigars OF
magnificent proportions can be haG
at the rate of four for ten cents, while
a box of twenty-five stalv art domes

late in the evening, and she wanted
to get home.
Tobacco is found put up in nea
bags of two ounces for three cents
and clay pipes to smoke it in can b.
bought at half cent each.
Five cents is the regular price fo
all drinks, whether ale, beer, plail
whisky or mixed, and one place wa
noticed where pint of milk puncl
was offered for a nickel.
Eating is just as cheap as drinking
For five cents you can get three egg

safer, while elaborate costumes and
costly materials are never in good
taste. Cheviots, mixed tweeds, and
serges are used for school dresses,
and crepons, challies, India silks, and
crepe de chine for more dressy gowns.
Their skirts, except in very thin ma
terial, are made with a gored front
and side breadths, and two back
breadths with a sloped seam in the
middle; and are three and a half
yards around.
A blue serge dress, trimmed with
braid. on the skirt and made with a
three-quarters jacket opened over a
plaid silk blouse vest, is sure to be a
successful gown. An afternoon dress
for girls in their teens is made of
blue-gray and white cloth; the latter
is used for the skirt front and the
plastron. Brown braiding decorates
the skirt panel, and brown velvet
fold divides it in the middle and edges
it on either side. The bodice is turned
back with lapels of brown velvet, and
the belt and side knot are of the same.
A simple gown of plain magenta
wool is made with a full bodice and
pointed shoulder capes, trimmed with
narrow black silk gimp; and a belt
! and rosettes of black satin ribbon
give it a very stylish effect. Another
one is of blue crepOn, and trimmed OIL

some time in contemplation the addl-
ton of tin plate department to their
already extensive works. The prevail.

that existed for some time kept tho
matter in suspense, but upon tho out

to make room for the new building.
The contracts for tho new and improved
machinery which the company intends
TO place in the plant will be let this

have a capacity OF between 500 and 600
boxes of tin per day. The improve
ments will be completed and ready for
production by the first OF next March.

Tho Season Opens Briskiy, and a
Really Serious Problem conirOHts
tho City AuthorltIes--whas Can DO

is the Question.

An old problem is beginning to
trouble the city authorities once more,
although it is q little early in the sea-
son. This is, what disposition to mako
OF the tramps who come into town in
the cold weather and apply for lodging
Mt police headquarters. In good
weather there is little trouble from this
source, but in winter there are some.
times more Migrants than can be given
oven floor space. No provision Is made
by the city or county for caring for
these waytarers. They have been Gus.
tomarily allowed to sleep on
the floor in the corridors OF the
city hall basement In the past
year or two, however, they have become
so numerous at times rs to oyercrowd
the space at disposal there. Every in
dicatlon 80 far points to the belief that
they will be more numerous this win.
ter than ever before. even than last win.
ter, which was bad enough. The men
turned loose on the country by Coxey
and Kelly and other leaders OF the COM
monwealers are still wanderers on the
face OF tho earth. The bad weather Is
sure to drive them to seek shelter. and
as ia the way OF their fraternity on the
road, they make straight for police
headquarters and plead for nights
lodging.
Though this is comparatively early in
the season, and the weather has not
been especially bad so far, the number
Of "bums." aa they are commonly
known, has 80 far been unusually large.
Sunday night over forty OF them slept
in the corridor Of the lookup. There ia
nothing to lie on but the bare floor. aad
their presence is objectionable from
sanitary as well as other considerations.
The place cannot be kept clean when 90
many unclean men use it for lodging
quarters. Vermin are introduced, and
once in arc hard to get out. A worse
way to furnish them shelter could not
well be conceived, but there ia no other
way.
The question has often been discussed
whether 1t would not be wiser to arraign
them all as "yags" and send them to the
hill. But this would mean feeding as
well as lodging them for fifteen or thirty
days, and there Is no adequate arrange.
ment to profit by their labor. Many OF
the city officials simply give it up"
when asked where the matter Is to end.
A grave problem has been growing
graver for several years, and
Is still unsolved, and If the present
times continue throughout this winter
it will demand some action by the coun.
Gil. There have been as many as eighty
dodgers Of the character referred to nc.
commodated in one night, and when
the suggestion is made that 1t is bad
thing to encourage them, the only
answer that can be made is, What are
you going to do about it?
