A Logical Dog.

Having derived much pleasure from read
ing the frequent natural history notes
which from time to time appear in the
Spectator, | venture to send you an in
stance of what seems to me the working of
the canine mind under quite different cir
cumstances. The first refers to an incident
which happened great many years ago.
1t was this: One day, when a lad was
walking with my father accompanied by
strong, smooth-haired retriever called
'Turk." We were joined by the bailiff of
the farm, and in the course of our walk
Turk suddenly discovered the presence of a
rabbit concealed in what in Scotland is
called "dry-stane dyke" After little
trouble in removing some stones, poor
bunny was caught and slaughtered, being
handed to the bailiff, who put it in his
coat pocket. Shortly atterward we sep
arated, the bailiff going to his home in one
direction, and we to ours in an opposite
one.
Before we reached home we noticed that
Turk was no longer with US, at which we
We're rather surprised, as he was q very
faithful follower. Some time after we cot
home, perhaps an hour, l CHANGED to see a
strange object on the public road which
puzzled me as to what it was. 1t raised a
cloud of dust as it came along, which
partly obscured the vision. What was nv
surprise when | found it was Turk drag
glng man S shooting jacket, which proved
to be the bailiff's, with the rabbit still in
the pocket. We afterward learned that the
dog, to the surprise of the bailiff, quietly
followed him home, and lay down near
him. Presently the man took off his coat
and laid it on chair Instantly Turk
bounced upon it and dashed to the door
with it In his mouth. lie was pursued, but
in vain, and succeeded in dragging the
coat from the one house to the other, dis
lance of one mile and three-fourths. 1t was
evident the dog had strong sense of the
rights of property. He believed the rabbit
belonged to his master, so he set himself to
recover what he thought stolen goods

GOVERNOR BUDD'S PLAN.
He Will Listen to the PreSen-

ASpirantS.
CLERK FOR THE CONTROLLER
Creates Another State
Office.

SACRAMENTO, March 20. - Friday
O'Clock. is the time that has been appointed
by Governor Budd to listen to the various
delegations from the legal fraternity of
this city who may desire TO present the
personal abilities OF the several candidates
for the position of the third Superior
Judgeship of Sacramento County, created
by the late Legislature.
If there be any truth in the rumor that
has been circulated TO the effect that the
Governor has declared an intention to APP
point the candidate who is considered best
fitted for the position by his colleagues, If
respective of politics, it is claimed by lead
ing legal lights that Charles Oatman Or. }
can undoubtedly secure the greatest ma
jority.
On the other hand, if a Democrat is to
be appointed, on the same grounds they
claim that Joseph Hughes is at present far
in the lead of his competitors, and has
already pledged over ~ out of the 10 mem
berS of the Sacramento bar to stand by him
in case Oatman is out of the race.
Other prominent Democratic candidates,
who are making strong fights, with good
prospects or success, are Attorneys A.
Hinkson and w. H. Devin. The latter
has, perhaps, the strongest political back
ing of all the various aspirants, and has
also in his favor the fact that he is
an able exponent of the intricacies of the
law. Attorney Hinkson also possesses
strong backing, and is making still fight
that may prove a winner. In the mean
time, lesser legal lights are awaiting the
outcome OF the struggle with intense in

4 CLERK FOR THE CONTROLLER
The Governor Signs a Bill Which Create,
another Position


SACRAMENTO, March Ex-Governor
Budd to-day signed Assembly bill ISL,
authorizing the State Controller to appoint
an additional clerk in his office, in addition
TO the number now allowed by law, to be
known as the receiving clerk, and also
making an appropriation for the payment
of the salary of said clerk, which will be
$500 year.
The necessity for the creation OF this
office was caused by Assembly bill No. 9,
introduced by Bulla of Los Angeles, emit
tied "An act requiring all property sold fo1
delinquent taxes to be sold to the State
and prohibiting individuals from purchas.
ing"
The amount of personal property and
real estate that is yearly forfeitable for non
payment of taxes is simply enormous and
it would be an utter impossibility for
Controller Colgan to handle this added
increase of business with his present
official force. The position bids fail
to be anything but a sinecure to the
party chosen to fill the office of receiving
clerk, the identity of whom is as yet I'M
known, as no appointment has or is liable
to be made for some time to come. 1t is
rumored, however, that 7. NJ. Ely will be
chosen by Controller Colgan to attend to
the duties OF this department.

In these columns has appeared for the
past six months, three times a week,
small advertisement calling attention to
STANDARD white, percale and outing
shirts-one of the leading products of Pa
cific Coast Industries. The result has been
that the sale of these goods has increased
to remarkable degree.
We wish to call attention to the fact that
this could not have been so unless these
shirts, on being tried, were found to be
better-or better for the money-than
others offered. Public scrutiny does not
bring public approval where there is no
special merit
The new percale and OUTING shirts of
this line, for sale by all dealers, are at
tracing much attention just now. Neus-
tadter Bros, established in San Francisco
since 1854, are the manufacturers.

thanks to friends that remembered
us on our seventy-frst birthday by
surprise of a birthday dinner.
May God grant each one of them
may live to enjoy like surprise at
the end of their three score and

good things was no better appreciat-

But the Trues, the superior divinities,
find that man, the animals, the flowers,

They accept the sacrifice and take

The AssessOY's Sdl0ly.

We have before us copies of
Senate Bill No. SO, and House Bill
No. 3o1, both of which bills are of
interest to the taxpayers of Lincoln
county. Senate Bill No. SO is
entitled can act to amend section
1854 of title 2, chapter II, of the
Miscellaneous laws of Oregon, I"
and provides that the amended Sec
ton reads as follows:
"Sec. 1864. The fees of the as
SCISSORS shall be three dollars per
day, except in the counties east of
the Cascades mountains, and Jack
son, Josephine, Douglas, Tilla-
nook, Clackamas, Clatsop, Marion
and Lincoln, where they shall re-
ceive four dollars per day for their
service as assessors. 4 X
This act passed the senate on the
9th, and has gone to the house for
its approval.
House Bill No. 3oI, is an act to
fix the compensation of county as
SCISSORS and their deputies, etc. In
fixing the salary of the assessor of
Lincoln county itplaces it at 81, 500
per year. 1t further provides that
the assessor shall have the power
appoint deputies who shall be paid
during the years the assessor is re-
quired to take the enumeration of
inhabitants, etc., at 81 per day.
The bill also has an emergency
clause attached.
1t seems to us that the county,
under the present conditions of its
finances cannot afford to increase
the salary or compensation of the
assessor.

A Horn Curiosity.

Our old school textbook told us that
"all horns are not bones," and this is
certainly true as far as the horn of the
rhinoceros is concerned. That curious
protuberance is nothing less than col.
lection or amalgamation Of hairs, SO
interviewer and agglutinated that under
the miscroscope it appears to be of com.
position similar to the pith Of corn
stalk, except that the hairs are not so
widely separated by the material that
binds them together.
In olden times royalty employed rhi'
noceros horns for drinking cups, the no.
ton being that poison put into them
would show itself by bubbling. There
may have been grain of truth In this,
for it is known that the ancient poisons
were all acids, and these would certain.
ly decompose the horny structure Of the
cup very rapidly. st. Louis Republic

TO include the months of March,

only lasts during the months of

is so manifestly unfair that it should

committee was appointed 10 ascer-
tain from the county court the
amount paid by the county in the
matter of the incorporation OF
Toledo. and to get, if possible, the
county to present its claim to the
city. 1t will be remembered that
certain expenses were paid by the
county when Toledo was incorpor-
ated, and under the law the city is
responsible for their repayment.
For some reason the county has
never presented any bill for these
claims. The city is out of debt
and has money in the treasury and
is ready and anxious to repay the
county for any expense incurred in
the matter.
