OREGON'S BORROWED GLORY.
IL is Gained by Giving a MisnOmer
10 Washington Lumber.

Ii is Gained by Giving a MisnOmer
10 Washington Lumber.
Another evidence of the injustice
which this State suffers on account of
rough commercial classification of
lumber adopted years ago by San
Francisco merchants is furnished by
the actual reports from mills which
ship Washington fir lumber and cedar
shingles to foreign markets. 1t ap-
pears from these reports that the bulk
OF the foreign trade is done by mills in
this State, although the Washington
fir and the Washington red cedar
shingles are sold as Oregon pine and
Oregon cedar shingles and thus the
State does not get credit for its pro-
dnct in the foreign markets.
Victor H. Beckman, who, as editor
of the Pacific Lumber Trade Journal,
receives tabulated monthly reports
from about forty of the largest lumber
mills OF the Northwest, notices from
these reports that the bulk of the for.
eign shipments comes neither from
Oregon or from British Columbia, but
from the State of Washington. The
total shipments from British Colum-
bia from January to August l, 1895,
foreign and coastwise, were in round
numbers $4,000, 900 feet. The ship
ments from the Puget Sound mills
during the month of July alone were
33 900 900 feet. British Columbia
ships three times as much foreign as
does Oregon, although the total ship.
ments from British Columbia are
much smaller than those from Oregon,
the shipments from the latter State
being almost entirely coastwise, while
of the 80 ,O00, 900 feet mentioned above
as shipped from British Columbia, 22,-
100000 went abroad. The total an
nual shipments from Oregon, foreign
and coastwise, are about 150,OO0,0OO
ieet, while the total from this State
will easily reach 1000, 600 feet.
The other point shown by Mr..
Beckman's reports is even more strik-
ing. Wholesale shingle and lumber
dealers OF Oregon are now shipping red
cedar shingles manufactured at Castle
Rock, Kelso and points on the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern, under the
naTe of Oregon red cedar shingles,
when as matter of fact there are
scarcely twenty miles in Oregon TURN
ing out red cedar shingles. In Wash
ington there are 232 such mills. The
great belt of red cedar practically stops
at the Columbia river.

methods are worked out and the result
made known to the farmers. The
fact that farming has held its own in
the contest with other occupations
is an evidence that the cultivators Of
the soil have kept abreast OF the times
and that modern methods now rule
the farms.
The Agricultural Department is
now one uf the great executive de-
partments of the government, with its
Secretary in the cabinet. A few years
ago it was mere bureau OF the gov
ernment and very small and insig-
nificant one at that. This comparison
illustrates in rather forcible way the
change that has taken place in sgri-
cultural methods in this country.

Chairman Jones Explains What the
Financial Plank Means.
Colenel Charles Jones, Of Missouri,
who was chairman OF the committee
on resolutions, and of the sub-com-
mittee that formulated the Demo-
cratic national platform of 1892, makes
a statement to the New York World
over his signature regarding the story
by Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado. OF the
mystery of the financial plank. He
writes:
"Mr. Patterson's statement Of the
conflict is substantially correct. The
plank at first submitted was straight
OUT bimetallic plank, regarding the
free coinage OF silver and gold on equal
terms. 1t was discussed seven hours,
and repeatedly amended and recast.
Patterson and Senator Daniel, OF
Virginia, led the contest for the words
"free coinage of silver" Senators
Villas and Mcpherson led the fight
against the use of those words, but not
on the ground that they were op-
posed to the use of silver. They de-
clared over and over again that they
were a. good bimetallists and as friend
ly to silver as Patterson and Daniel.
They said their objection to the words
free coinage was simply that they
had special meaning in certain parts
of the country that would be mislead'
ing.
Atkinson introduced the COM
promise resolution that was adopted
after being modified. Patterson and
Daniel fought it to the end, and voted
against it when it came to vote. l
recall the fact that in the fight on the
final discussion Villas read the plank
as it now stands to Patterson, dwelling
in strong emphasis on the first clause
and asking Patterson how it differed
essentially from his demand OF free
coinage. Every member of the sub

Hut He Rides I'm a Hcarse Just the
Same.
Spokane Chronicle, Sept. IL.
The few citizens who were fortunate
enough to be out early this morning
witnessed sight that caused them to
first gaze with wonder and then as the
ludicrousness of the spectacle dawned
upon them they would double up in q
paroxysm of laughter.
Seated upon hearse drawn by four
frisky cayuses, was dignifed looking
Indian and beside him sat squaw
looking as proud as small boy wear
ing his first pair of pante. On the in
side of this remarkable conveyance
could be seen through the glass sides,
six pspooses of all sizes and conditions,
who, utterly oblivious of the somber
character of the rig, were playfully
rolling over each other and pulling
each others hair in manner similar
to litter of pups.
Behind this gorgeous turnout fol-
lowed several other wagons of lesser
magni6cence, also containing Indians.
From the proud possessor OF the
hesrse, who could talk pretty fair Eng
lish, it was learned that he was a sub
chief of the Nez Perces tribe, and was
on his way to visit some friendly Indi-
ans up north. From the money that
he had recently received from the gov
ernment as his and the family's share
of their reservation, he had purchased
the hearse from a Lewiston under
taker. He seemed to have no idea OF
the character of the vehicle on which
he was riding, but had seen it at Lew
iston, and desiring to possess it he
soon struck bargain with the under
taker and drove it over to bis ranch
on the reservation, where he was at
once the envy OF his brother redskins.
He is now travelling through the
country in state to show off his proud
possession to the neighboring tribes.

GAIL HAMILTON'S VISIT TO THE
DEPARTED.
She Describes a Remarkable Vision
at the Time She Was Thought

TO BE Dead "Death a Blessed
Thing.o
A dispatch dated Boston, Sept. 10Th,
says that short time ago Miss Mary
Abigail Dodge Gail Hamilton), the
well-known writer, and biographer of
the late James G. Blaine, was at
deaths door and there seemed no hope
that she would live. But she is slowly
recovering, and her first effort has
been to transcrite vision of spirit
land which was hers when she stood
on the portal. Her weird paper was
read at the Congregational Church at
Hamilton Sunday. Few people were
at the church, and these did not know
such paper would be read.
The title of the paper was, =" In the
Valley of the Shadow OF Death" and
it dealt with the thoughts, impress
sions and feelings of those who are
passing over the river"
Miss Dodge introduced her subject
by writing of the experiences of a
clergyman and several others who had
almost died and were brought back to
life, almost as miracle, and said they
had seen the forms and heard voices
of relatives and friends who had gone
before.
Passing On to her own experience,
she said she was taken i'll last spring
while locked in a room in the Blaine
mansion at Washington. She felt che
was falling and realized that some
thing very serious had seized her.
Her most intense feeling was the
shock her friends would receive when
they broke open the door and found
her dead upon the floor. She felt that
the shock would be lessened to them
if they should find her lying in a ma
tural position upon the sofa. and SO
she made q mighty effort with her
fast-ebbing strength to cross the room
to the sofa. She reached it, but STUN.
bled and fell on the floor beside it.
She realized the situation when her
friends found her. although apparently
she was unconscious.
Then came long blank that lasted
how long she knew not. At times
che would partially recover conscious
ness and wonder whether she was dead
or not. Her brothers, Stanwood and
Brown Dodge, both of whom are dead,
one OF them dying less than q year
ago, appeared to her and conversed
with naturalness. She sometimes felt
that she would like to speak and in.
quire if she were really in the other
world, but found it impossible to enun'
/ ciate syllables.
She desired to impress upon those
who heard the paper read the truth o
the sentence. blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord" for death, she
said, >" is indeed blessed thing" She
felt no especial sorrow in leaving life
and laying down its burdens, but shs
had poignant sympathy for her rela
tives and friends, who she knew woult
mourn long and deeply at her death
"Do not have horror OF DEATH" wa
her thought. at is q blessed thing.

committee claimed to be in favor OF
bimetallism.
If Villas, or Mcpherson, or Bayard,
had admitted that the resolution could
be interpreted to mean gold monometal-
ism, it could not have passed the SUBJ
committee or the convention. All
three OF these bodies supposed real
bimetallism was Endorsed when the
resolution was adopted"

To Ride n Bicycle 10 Excess, Says
Professor Manning.
Professor Manning, the author of q
work entitled Sanicult," who is
spending few weeks in Portland, de-
nounces the bicycle as follows says
the Telegram: "To my mind owing
to the excess OF exercise INDUCED in
by bicycle riders of to-day, when a
man or woman buys wheel, he heaps
the first spadeful of earth upon his
grave. To give some idea OF the
unwholesomeness of bicycle riding.
listen to this: First, you have kind
OF paralysis of the hands from the
constant gripping OF the handle-bar,
then contraction of the muscles OF the
legs, contraction of posterior muscles
OF the lower limbs, and of the inside
muscles of the thighs; round shoulders
from STOPPING over, and contraction Of
the chest. This causes congestien of
the lungs and leads to consumption ;
continued violent exercise also leads
to enlargement of the heart. Fur
thermore, with men, rupture, varico-
cele, hydrocele follow, and. worst OF
all, it destroys virility. No man who
rides a bicycle to any extent can hope
to be father.
"Then again, with women constant
riding causes troubles to which
women are peculiarly heir. Married
women riding bicycles are especially
liable to very serious physical mis-
haps. In fact, the dangers are multi
tudinous. People have neglected
them too long, and if the entire world
is not depopulated by the rapidly in
creasing membership of the suicide
club, the human race will die out by
reason of lack of manhood and inabil-
ity to propagate"

Hearing With the Legs.

Simply because our ears are on the
sides of our heads it does not signify
that the hearing apparatus of other
creatures may not be located in differ
ent places, widely separated from those
with which we usually associate the
organs Of hearing. says a contributor
to the st. Louis Republic. The grass
hoppeEs and eriekets, for illustration,
have their ears, or. more properly, au-
ricular openings, situated in the leg at
spot about halfway between the
"ankle" and "knee." Examine a
specimen OF either of the insects men,
toned, using microscope for that pur-
pose, and you will find that there is
bright, shiny spot. oval in form, on the
tibia of each foreleg. For many years
the naturalists were of the opinion
that the spots in question were in
some manner connected with in inhar-
monious music.box which such insects
always carry about with them. This
opinion was almost universal until
within the last few years, when the
high-grade instruments in use among
entomologists revealed the startling
fact that the spots and holes we're
really true ears, being the only organs
of hearing possessed by such insects.
Besides the above samples of " ears
in queer places" we might call atten-
ton to the fact that some spiders have
their ears in the bottom of their feet,
and at least one species of crab has Or
gans OF hearing in one OF the segments
OF his tail.

ID irectOrs Held a Meeting in
Lima and Transacted Bus
mess.

LIMA, o., Nov. president Me-
grew, @. N. Haskell and other direc-
tors of the lima Northern railroad,
held a directors meeting in this city
Yesterday, transacting a great deal
of business, including the addition
of four New York men to
directory; the names, however, are
not made public. The capital stock
of the road has been increased from
$500, 900 to $2, 400, 600, and a mortage
was authorized of $4,000 mile on
the completed road.
Mr.. Haskell gave the information
that with the exception of about a
mile the entire right of way has been
secured as far as the Michigan state
line, a distance of 72 miles, and 40
miles of this distance is under active
construction. A connection with the
Glover Leaf will be made at an early
day, and unless winter sets in eX-
tremely early, the road will be COM
pleted this fall
The road is now completed as far
as the Findlay road, and the work of
grading to the Lake Erie road will
be pushed with all speed.
LIMA, o., Nov. 6.-The route OF
the Lima Northern railroad north of
this city has been changed, and will
now run through the farms OF
Messrs. Frueh, Baker, Shick, AL
stetter and Cooper. The company
will thus avoid paying heavy dam
ages in the suits of Nathan McCul,
Tough and others. Their track will
be connected with the Lake Erie &
W estern track by Monday noon.

On Sunday evening last, move
ment was started by some of Napo-
Icons most progressive people. The
need of some kind of an organization
which has for it's aim the improve
ment and uplifting of young men
has long been felt. A stranger came
among us only week ago. His first
question was where are your Y.
M. G. A. rooms?' I'VE have none,n
was the the answer, Where is your
reading room, public library, school
library? The answers were the same
I'VE have none. ''Then where do
your young men spend their even
ings?n 1t is strange that in so enter
prising place as Napoleon, among
such wide-awake people we have not
at least Y. M. G. A, and reading
rooms. All large cities have them
and nearly every place of this size. o.
Our first movement will be to or
ganize a Y. M. G. A. This is to be
the nucleous about which every
thing else will center.
In connection with this we want a
reading room and gymnasium rooms,
nicely heated and lighted where our
young men may spend their even
ings either in reading good books
and magazines OF in healthful sports.
This movement is strictly unde'
nominational and calls for the hearty
support of every citizen interested
in the moral, mental and physica
development of our young men.
