BABY IN A TEN-INcH WELL.
Terrible Experience of an l8-months
old Child.

old Child.
A dispatch from Paris, Texas,
says that the 18-months old child
of Bill Gee, a farmer living near
Tigertown, had terrible expert
ence last week. A 10-inch bored
we'll had just reached a depth of
SO feet, being near the house, when
the little one went out alone to in
vestigate. Somehow he managed
to fall in feet first, and was impal-
ed upon the end of the boring ma
chinery, part of which was yet
in the we'll. The frantic mother
was witness to the horror, and
Immediately gave the alarm. The
child could not be gotten out of the
hole, so the neighbors were all
summoned, and some eighty of
them went to work digging great
square hole near the well. This
being completed to a depth on a
level with the child, a tunnel was
made from the hole to the we'll,
and the child rescued after being
in its perilous condition for %
hours. Its prevalent cries: Mann
ma! Mamma, come take me out!
were heart rending. The child
will recover.

PENNoYER DID 1T.
And Governor Lord is Powerless to

ut is the most unjustifiable
piece Of work that could be DONE"
were Governor Lords words when
asked if he wished to express his
opinion in regard to the commuta-
tions Of sentences issued by Cover
nor Pennoyer just before he retired
from office. Governor Lord stated
that he thought the pardons would
stand good. AT least he had found
nothing in the laws from which
the unjust act of his predecessor
could be abolished, and from now
until the year 1899 thieves, rapists
forgers, etc, will 60 free from the
penitentiary, only to commit some
other crime. Governor Lord will
not, however, give up his determi-
nation of putting q stop to their
release, if possible, but he will meet
with little assistance from q legal
point of view. No one was aware
Of this error until recently. Fol-

The oregonian Even Sees h---A Good
Time Coming for Oregon.

ne OfcBODiuu Even OecS H---H 0OOu
Time Coming for Oregon.
Readers of the Oregonian can
not have failed to notice that, with
in the past few weeks, a tone of
hope and encouragement has per-
meated the utterance of the news
papers of the state which have been
reproduced in its columns. Ever
since the setting of the present de-
preston the Oregonian has pointed
out that the sooner the people Of
Oregon realize the possibilities of
their own resources and their own
efforts in earnest work, the sooner
we may expect to escape from the
troubles in which we find ourselves
involved. In the diversification Of
our agricultural industries, in the
increase Of manufactured articles
of our own make for our own con-
sumption, in short, in making the
most of our opportunities. and to a
great degree only in so doing, may
we hope to hold our own.
1t is apparent now that the spirit
Of the people of the state, the bust.
ness men Of Portland, the miners
Of Eastern and Southern Oregon,
the farmers of the Columbia and
Willamette valleys, the stockmen
Of the great ranges, and the fruit
growers Of the fertile horticultural
country is hopeful, not only escape
from financial troubles, but for
growth and prosperity. In a word,
we are not merely to endure, we
are to go forward to a new era of
commercial and industrial wealth
and activity, Scarcely day pass
es but the news of the morning
chronicles shipments Of largely in
creased outputs from different
fields Of operations; from sheep and
cattle districts; from mines and
valley towns where farm and dairy
products have been marked in large
quantities. The past two years
have seen great areas of hitherto
wild lands brought under cultiva-
tion and planted to grain, fruit and
vegetables. The papers of the state
fairly TEEN with items Of this kind.
The spirit Of hope and the effort
has double significance. 1t means
a new era of production for Oregon,
a prosperity founded not on the
rise of real estate prices but upon
created wealth, while it is certain
to beget confidence in us on the
part of those whose confidence
would be of help to us. We need
people and we need capital. En-
igration from some of the central
states like Kansas and Nebraska is
to be enormous in the next two or
three years. The most desirable
Of that emigration can be directed
here. 1t will naturally find its
way to places where others are seen
to be contented and prosperous.
Immigration will give us the pop
ulation we need for the greater con-
sumption Of our products, and that
must be preceded extensive by man
ufacturing. Confidence in ourselves
will alsosattract capital here, to
open our mines, develop our dor
mant resources of every kind, and
establish factories to work up our
raw products. It is in this new
spirit Of confident determination
that Oregon's assurance lies. 1t
cannot be doubted or gainsaid, and
in this spirit the people of the state
should take heart and go forward.

England's collection of plate for use
at state occasions at Windsor castle is
something fabulous in value. Its dis
play surprised even Russia's crown
prince himself. 1t it generally recl-
oned to be worth about 92, 900, 900, and
it is no unusual thing at state ban
quet at the castle to have plate to the
value of half million in the room.
There are two state dinner services,
one of gold and one of silver. The
gold service was purchased by George
w., and will dine i20 persons. The
plates alone of this service cost over
a12, 1000. On state occasions there are
usually placed on the dining table
some very beautiful gold fiagons, cap
tured from the Spanish Armada, which
are now, of course, of priceless value,
while the great silver wine cooler,
made for George w, and weighing
1000 ounces, always adorns one corner
of the apartment. As sideboard orna-
ments there are pretty trif1es in the
way of peacock of precious stones,
valued at a50,0O0, and a tigers head
from India with solid ingot of gold
for its tongue and diamond teeth.
