A Trip Full of Peril

Jacob kamm yesterday sent W. p.
cray and crew up to Huntington to
oring the steamer Norma down to
Pasco, says the Oregonian. This is a
great undertaking and will be watched
with interest by all steamboat men in
the northwest. Compared with it. the
bringing of steamboat down over the
Cascades is an easy task. The Norma,
which is a large sternwheeler, was
built at Huntington in 1891 by Mr..
kamm, and was intended for the
trade between Huntington and the
Seven Devils territory. She made
only two trips and was then laid up.
kamm finds that he can put her to
good service on the lower Snake,
whereas the boat is useless at Hunt
lngton. At any rate it is worth while
making the trial. :
The Snake river, between Hunting
ton and Lewiston is, at the low stage
of water, an almost continuous stretch
of rapids and eddles. The river is
navigable at all stages only from
Riparia to Lewiston, and as Lewiston
is 200 miles below Huntington, it will
be seen that Captain Gray has no
easy task before him.
The Norma is being strengthened
in every possible manner for the trip
and will probably make the start the
last of this week. Should she make
the trip successfully she will be run
in opposition to the o. R. & N. boats
on the lower Snake.

months. This has all been paid, ex
cepting S14 %, out of the revenu
of the line, and there is twenty-sevei
worth of wire and other material o.
hands which the company have TO
sale. The rent on the instruments
paid up to March 1, 1897, the com
pany has blanks on hands to last fiv
years, and all the expenses of tn
line for the next three years will nc
average more than fifty dollars yes
including taxes The telephone is
financial success beyond all expects
ton, and is convenience that coui
not be done without.

Old Nursery Rhymes,

Why is it they are so little thought
of now? Many Of them that were
learned in years so long gone that
their memory seems like an echo from
the other world come back unbid, and
with them come visions of kind faces,
home scenes, open doors, and jas
samines blooming, birds singing and
bees humming. Other thoughts of
greater moment in our lives have
been forgotten, but these old child
hood rhymes are fixed in our minds
forever and recall memories that are
more painful than pleasant. Speaking
of the sheep shearers today recalled
this one:
Little sheep pray tell me why
In the pleasant fields you lie,
Eating grass and daisy white,
From the morning till the night?
Horse and COW can something do,
But, little sheep, what use are your
NAY, my little master, nay,
That do nothing, do not say;
Don't you see the wool that grows
On my back to make you clothes!
Cold, and very cold you'd get,
If | did not give you it,
Who writes them or when-lik'
Mother Goose stories no one knows
and they are handed down like ira
ditions. One thing they prove tn
impressions made in childhood ar
lasting, and should act as strong re
> minders that the first tiny springs o
the literary fountain written or Spoken
should be very pure.

From the New York " orld.

The warming Of higher prices this
fall which the retail shoe dealers re-
ceiv-d from the manufacturers last
spring, as told in the World Of April
80. has come to pass, and from
to day ON the public will have to pay
from 25 to so ceuts or even more, a
pair for shoes than has been paid for
yeats past 1t will not surprise the
jobbers SO some Of The latter say il
during the next few weeks there is a
further advance This move, in
which the public is the sufferer, is
directly due to the Leather Trust,
which monopolizes the tannerles and
the sole leather industry of the coun-
try.
The trust tried to justify itself for
advancing the price Of sole leather
on the ground that the advance was
forced by the increase in the price Of
green hides Shoe men say that this
excuse does not 60 with them, be-
cause the trust not only controls the
market for green hides, but owns
