When at Colfax, Ia, recently as guest OF
the landlord of the Mason House, Bill Ma
son, the proprietor, told the writer that sew
eral years ago the river which flows through
his bottom pasture lands over1owed Its
banks to the depth Of 18 inches. He could
get no milk from his seven or eight COWS
that were pastured on that Overfowed land
notwithstanding the fact that he fed them
plenty of hay during the high water sea-
son.
A guest of the house asked why he
couldn't get milk enough for his table from
80 many cows, and his reply was that upon
investigation the catfish that came up with
the high water milked his cows dry before
he got the chance to get any. The inter
rogator expressed doubt when Bill assured
him that he could prove his statement by
producing fellow who caught 20 pound
catfish two miles down the river, and when
he cleaned the fish took from its stomach
a nine pound cheese. Chicago Times Her

This Man Shaved For Another Reason.

This Man Shaved For Another Reason.
A good story is told at the expense OF a
prominent Chestnut street hotel keeper.
Employed as "A porter about the hotel was
an elderly man named Mike, who had
been an attache of the hotel for eight years.
His most prominent feature, and one Of
which he was very proud, was beard Of
luxuriant growth. One day last week the
proprietor Of the hostelry was pacing the
lobby when Mike happened to pass. The
proprietor was In very disagreeable frame
OF mind, and he stopped and looked at
Mike with an evil light in his eye.
Come here, youp' he yelled at the por-
ter. "How long have you been hereY"
Nigh on to eight years, sor."
"Well, you've been here long enough.
You needn't come back tomorrow. I'm
tired Of seeing you about"
The poor porter was thunderstruck He
went to his friend, the day clerk, and told
him all about 1t. "What'n OF dor said
he. "Oi've q wolfe an family fur T. sup
port, an OF can't get another job"
The clerk thought for moment and
then said suddenly:
II have 1t. You go home and shave of
your beard, and then go to the boss and
tell him you heard he needed porter"
Mike followed this advice the next day
and secured the situation, becoming his
own successor. The proprietor has never
suspected the trick. ck.--Philadelphia Record.

Of which are covered by the latest re-
port Of the state bureau Of labor statis-
tics, there were 40, SO3 partners or stock.

The number of males included in the
total for the latter year was greater,
however, than that which was covered
by the larger figures for 1898. There
were %, 325 male partners or stockhold-
ers in 1892 and %, 2ll in 1898. On the
other hand, the number of women who
had an interest in the manufactures
dealt with by the report was 10, 300 in
1898 against 10, 40 in the year preced-
ing. The partners or stockholders were
90. "a per cent males in 1892 and 27. so
per cent females. In 1898 the proportions
were 2s 3S per cent of females and 62.-

Is a curious hint Of the tendency Of the

THE LETTER.
PORTLAND, Sept. 8, 1895
EDITOR JoURHAL:-Thes sollcitude OF
the editor and publishers Of the Ore
gonlan for the "dear people" in the
matter OF the paving Of our city streets,
is very touching" as evlnced by tie
following editorial sauib backing up
some more lengthy diatribes 10 the
news columns:
"The common council has passed an
ordinan for "imprOvemenV OF Burn
side street with asphalt, but care has
been taken not To specify the kind 80
the street Is open to job Of any rotten
asphalt that "promOters" may have TO
offer. But the city cannot expect to
be rid OF these rotten jobs till IL gets
eound common council.
Bot when 1t 10 known that the editor
Of the OregoniAn and his partners, the
Messrs. Corbett, Failing and PittOck,
are the principal stockholders 10 the
"Trinidad" Asphalt 90. their sollcitude
can be better understood, and their
anger ut the common council appre-
ciated. For Il was through the efforts
Of the Oregonian and its allies, that
yitrified brick paying was defeated,
and now 10 have q mulish, stubborn
council leave the letting Of the contract
open In such a way that they will have
TO "compete" IN order to get the work
10 truly exasperating, and the council
will be made TO suffer, as they should,
for daring TO oppose or throw any
obstacles In the way Of the "Great i
am" or any Of his allies.
The "Trinidad" Asphalt and Paving
Co. was organized in 1892. Early in
that year prospectus was issued by
the "promOtors' of the scheme, which
was mailed to many OF the
prominent business men Of Portland,
but especially TO attorneys and dealers
In real estate for reasons that will be
explained later. At the head OF the
proposed company, as organizers, ap-
peared the name Of w. s. Ladd (now
deceased), IL. w. Corbett, Henry Fall
Ing, III. w. Scott, III. l.. Pittock and
several other we'll known financiers
The prospectus went on to explain
the superiority Of "Trinldad" over
other asphalts, and then explained the
advantages to accrue to the stock
holders by having the stock held by a
large number Of stockholders In differ
ent parts OF the city.
30 that when a Job Of paving was to
be let, their would be large number
Of people who would be interested In
having Trinidad" asphalt specified
~ the kind of ashphalt that must
be used. Judging from the amount OF
space that the oregonian has used to
boom the interest Of the Trinidad
Asphalt Co.and TO denonnce all others
they must have quite large "block"
the stock. Immediately after the
Trinidad Co. was organized, an aglta'
ton was begun through the columns
OF the Oregonian and otherwise TO have
one Of the principal streets paved with
Trinidad ashphalt and Sixth street
was selected as the street 10 be 30 i'm
