ATHENA, DECEMBER 6, 1896

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact, says
the Elgin Recorder, that numerous
persons have recently been arrested
in this portion of the state and put
to considerable trouble and ex-
pense for trespassing on govern
ment timber land, there are people
in this section who fail 10 profit by
the misfortunes of others, and con-
tinue theIpractice and while it may
appear a little severe TO the home
steader who files on q piece of tim
ber land with honest intentions, to
not be allowed to market the tim
Der he cuts in cleaning, yet the de-
cisions Of the Interior department
declare such action unlawful and
persons should not homestead q
piece Of land unless he expects to
comply with the laws governing
such cases. The principal reason
why the government adopts such
stringent regulations in regard to
homesteaders, is that hundreds of
persons take advantage Of the
homestead law to. secure the tim
Der off of a tract of government
land, which they never expect to
try to improve or perfect their title
to, and by this means the govern
ment is annually robbed of thou
sands of dollars, SO that it should
not be wondered at that the off.
cials endeavor to prevent these un-
lawful transactions, by forbidding
the sale of any timber until the
title is perfected.
1t is pretty sure thing that
there has been numerous filings
made on timber lands in this inn
mediate vicinity for the sole object
Of removing the tie timber and
then abandoning the land, as their
actions plainly indicate, and the
only reason why these parties
haven't been called to account ere
this, is due TO the fact no timber
inspector has ever come around
this way, but one of these fine days
this little event will uccur and
then these individuals will get free
transportation tn Portland, where
they will be given an opportunity
to explain the matter to the U. S
court, and the trouble and expense
attendant will amount to far more
than the timber they rot unlaw-
fully from Uncle Sam was really
worth.

UNCLE SANS NEW LIBRARY.
1t Has Some OF the Largest Bookcases n

1t Has Some OF the Largest Bookcases n
the World.
No such library as this new one of
Unele Sans was ever planned before.
You must Imagine, to begin with, two
iron bookcases, each 65 feet high, 112
feet long and 45 feet wide. They tower
up through the building story on story
in nine tiers. Each bookcase will hold
100000 volumes, The metal frame
work is made gridiron fashion to per-
NIT the free passage of the atmos-
phere, for books need fresh air as much
as human beings, else they rot The
floors are sheets of iron, and fire could
do no damage worth mentioning, for
books viii not burn, They will only
smolder under favorable circumstances.
This library. says the Washing.
ton Star, has 1900 windows. Those
which admit light to the great book
stacks above described are single
sheets of fine plate glass Looking
from the interior courtyards, the walls
inclosing the book stacks appear to be
almost wholly of glass. Thus the title
on the back Of every volume may be
easily read, The shelves already pro-
vided will accommodate 1900, 900 books
twice us many as are now in the Ii
brary.
The building has been so constructed
as to afford space for other stacks.

A pEREEcr wave ofhealers seen

A PERFECT wave ofhealers seems
to be sweeping over the country.
But there should be no rivalry
among them. There is room for
all. There are. to say the least, a
vast improvement upon the sort of
''heeler" with whom the American
people are all too familiar. Wheth-
er they do any guod or not, they
seem to be at least harmless and
therefore deserve to be looked upon
with leniencM Whether they cure
anybody or not, there are plenty of
people who think they have heen
cured; that much good is done, at
least, There are aches and pains
enough to be eased. There are ills
and maladies enough to be cured.
Ifenthusiasm, the exaltation of re-
ligious fervor, un explained powers,
can soothe aud seem to cure where
science has given up, then let the
healers multiply.

Court, and especially Chief Justice
Taney, was denounced in violent
language and in caustic resolutions.
This extraordinary action, in GEN.
suring the highest judicial tribunal
of the country resulted, a few years
later, in terrible war. But the
circumstances referred to had about
become forgotten, when few days
ago, the Federal Labor Union in
the East revived it by again GEN.

Supreme Court for sustaining the
judgement of California court, by
which some American railway

itself what are we to look for?

CATTLEMEN in Eastern Oregon,
in anticipation of a severe winter,
are gathering their herds from the
ranges, in the hope that by proper
ly sheltering and feeding they
may get through without serious
loss. This is in sharp contrast TO
the wasteful and pitiless method of
prosperous times, by which cattle
were compelled to shift for them
selves in the bitter drifts and cut
ting winds, surviving or perishing
as the case might be- The situa-
tion illustrates the difference be-
tween abundance and the careless.
ness that il enger ders, and the as.
surance of plenty only through the
exercise of thrift. The process of
growing wealthy in IA few years in
the stock business by merely sit
ting down while the herds multi
ply and fatten upon the great
ranges, is thing ofthe past. Men
who make money in the business
hereafter will be compelled to give
it the attention and care that was
necessary to success in other voca-
tions.

A Young Herdsman Meets His Death by
Falling on Cactus Plant.

A Young Herdsman Meets His Death by
Falling on n Cactus Plant.
A singular death is reported to have
occurred recently at Glorietta, N. M.
A young herdsman on the ranch of ST.
James left his home few days since to
track a band of mountain wolves which
had been committing depredations on
the herds under his care, but expected
to return by night. A day or two,
however, passed without bringing news
of him His wife, becoming uneasy,
party of his fellow-ranchmen started
out to look for him
This search was for some time unsuc-
cessful until large flock of buzzards
were seen lowering above some object
in the little valley of a small local ar
royo. Riding to this it was discovered
to be the body of the unfortunate Del
gado The remains were badly decom-
posed, but the manner of his death was
evident.
He had evidently been thrown from
his horse upon cactus plant with such
violence as to drive the long, keen
thorn Of one branch into his heart.
Another also penetrated his stomach
and would, in Itself, have proved fatal
had not the other given him more
sudden death-blow. These thorns JUS
tify the name bestowed upon them by
the natives of ''devil's dagger" meas
uring often seven and eight inches
and as sharp as needles point and
toughened almost to steel by age.
We owe the invention of visiting
cards to the Chinese. So long ago as
the period of the Tong dynasty (61S-
oo0 visiting cards were known to be in
common use in China, and that is also
the date of the introduction of the
''red siilxen cords" which figure so
conspicuously on the engagementcards
of that country.

The PRICE oF A WIFE.
savagos Place Varying Value Upon Their
Chosen Helpmates.


In the earliest times of purchase a
woman was bartered for useful goods
or for services rendered to her father
In the latter way Jacob purchased
Rachel and her sister Leah. This was
a Beena marriage, where a man, as in
Genesis, leaves his father and his
mother and cleaves unto his wife and
they become one flesh or kin-the
woman's. The price of bride in Brit
ish Columbia and Vancouver island
varies from twenty to forty pounds
sterling's worth of articles. In Oregon
an Indian gives for wife horses,
blankets or buffalo robes; in California,
she'll money or horses; in Africa, cat
tie. A poor Dalnara will sell daughter
for one cow; richer Kaffir expects
from three to thirty. With tho Banyai,
if nothing be given, her family claim
her children. In Uganda, where no
marriage recently existed, she may be
obtained for half a dozen needles, or
coat, or pair of shoes. An ordinary
price is a box of percussion caps. In
other parts, goat or a couple of buck
skins will buy girl. Passing to Asia,
we find her price is sometimes five to
fifty rubles, or at others, cartload of
wesd or hay. A princess may be pur-
chased for three Thousand rubles. In
Tartary, a woman can be obtained for
few pounds of butter, or where rich
man gives twenty small oxen poor
man may succeed with pig, In Fiji,
her equivalent is whales tooth or
muslset. These, and similar prices else
where, are eloquent testimony to the
little value savage sets'on his wife,

ing report. They are looking for
this in connection with plan for
setting the indebtedness of the
roads to the government. But they
do not explain how the govern
ment, with its inferior lien, can
consolidate the Union and Central
pacific roads into one, nor do they
explain what connection there is
between the land patents and
settlement Of the indebtedness of
the companies to the government.
The government has lien, such
as it is,but that does not touch the
lands granted to the roads until af-
ter foreclosure gives the govern
ment possession of all the property
covered by the lien. Secretary
Smith will undoubtedly make his
recommendations, but they are not
likely to have much to do with the
lands grants or with a continuous
road.
