were the labor alone, the salary would
be fairly adequate, but the response
bility and care, according to my view
of the matter, are of more Importance
than the Labor.
"The most serious obstacle that
have had to contend with during my
administration of this department has
been your assistantP. NC c. Hughes.
His contemplate manner and deport-
ment have been beyond my compre-
hension. He has at all times made my
position as arduous and unpleasant as
he possibly could. and believe and
am so informed that it has been his
intention to make it so unpleasant for
me that would resign. His coarse
treatment of me has been on par
with that accorded the general public,
and have yet to hear single word
in his favor from any one doing bust
ness with him.

A very important decision has been
rendered by the supreme court of Ore
gon in which the act OF 1895 allowing
twelve months for the redemption of
land sold under mortgage is declared
constitutional. After full discussion
of this question, the court says: "Hav-
ing in view the rule that court should
never declare an act of the legislature
unconstitutional unless its repugnance
to that instrument is clear and beyond
reasonable doubt, we conclude the act
of 1895 is valid and constitutional, as
to all sales made under mortgage fore
closure DEGREES rendered after the law
became operative, although the mort
cages may have been executed prior
to that time, and the decree of the
court below is therefore confirmed"

Cheap Bicycles.

4 recent press dispatch states that
large sewing machine companies are
preparing to manufacture cheap BIZ
cycles to be placed on the market for
'S6. The Singer Company deny that
they are In business at all, but other
concerns are, and will throw nearly
1000, 900 of machines on the market this
year at S25 apiece. Agencies are be-
ing established and it is asserted that,
as no large commissions will be paid,
the companies engaged will make
money, although the actual cost of any
standard bicycle at first hands has
been stated to be sa4. Agents familiar
with the trade are being engaged.
What show is there going to be for the
Eastern Oregon horse raiser with bi.
cycles at such prices? The cannery at
Lynnton seems to be all that he can
look forward to.

It Floated Like a Swan.

The Regulator once more lies at her
dock at the foot of Court street, hav-
ing been brought down this morning
from Hungry Harbor where she had
been undergoing rapairs. A large
number of citizens assembled on the
beach yesterday afternoon to see the
BOAT relaunched. and promptly at 4:30
the order was given to- cut the ropes
and the Regulator glided gracefully
down the ways settling into the waters
of the Colum bia like a swan that had
been deprived of the pleasures OF q
bath in its native element. No acci-
dent occurred except the breaking OF
a bolt in the center hpg-chain, through
this did no material damage The

Mr.. Emil Sohanno, member of the
state board of horticulture, who ha:
devoted considerable study to the
treatment of fruit trees aud the de.
struction of pests that infest them,
gives the following formula and di
rections for using the same, which,
he says if properly carried out, will
produce an effective solution for San
Jose scale and aphis:
so pounds of lime, so pounds sulphur,
30 pounds OF rock salt. will make $50
gallons OF wash. Like proportions
should be used in making smaller
amounts. = ,.s- -....
Directions = Slack'25 pounds of lime:
then add the so pounds of sulphur, boil
it over brisk fire for one hour; then
slack the remaining 25 pounds of lime.
then place all the salt with it in the
boiler and boil for fifteen minutes
more; then add the necessary amount
Of water to make 150 gallons.
This solution should be used at
of at least 100 degrees.
Before using strain it. This is an ex-
cellent winter wash for fruit trees, and
should be used between this time and
April lst
The utility Of this wash depends
great deal upon the strength of the
sulphur. I therefore recommend that
hose who use this wash should have a
Beaumes' scale for acid, and when it
shows eight degrees when cold, it is of
jhe proper strength. These scales can
De obtained through any druggist, and |

Along Felt Want.

A bicycle built for two, has been In
vented that meets the requirements
necessary for nice long spin, over q
smooth country road, with your best
girl by your side, close enough 80 that
in case of necessity a protecting arm
can be thrown around her. The new
machine has the seats so arranged that
two people can ride side by side, and
enjoy themselves as much as they
could in a we'll appointed carriage. In
many points the new machine resem.
bles the old fashioned tricycle. except
that it lacks the. third wheel. The
long axle of the rear wheel enables
the use of two sprockets at its extre-
mites so far apart as to admit of
each one being acted upon through
a separate pair OF sprockets, each
aetuated by a separate rider.
There is triple head and double frame
the latter carrying two saddles placed
side by side at proper distance apart
for two riders to work the pedals freely.
1t is said that adifference of 100 pounds
weight in two riders is not noticeable,
and that person who is ignorant of
riding can be taken out on this wheel
with perfect safety.

Mr.. James II. Miller, brother OF the
famous poet joaquin, is in the city to-
day. Mr.. Miller is one of the pioneers
of Eastern Oregon, having settled in
the Ochoco country when Indians
were thicker than jack-rabbitts, and
when the settlers life and property
were continually in danger. He re

Quite crowd assembled on the
beach yesterday afternoon to witness
the launching of the Regulator, and
about 50 got aboard just before the
boat went into the water. expecting to
ride down to the dock, but in this they
were disappointed, as the ferry boat
did not come to Tow the Regulator to
her landing, and after waiting until
nearly dark they were set ashore and
plodded through the sand and mud |
homeward.
Lloyd Montgomery, the Lynn county

Mr.. ]. A. Gulliford, of Dufur, is in
the city TO-DAY. Mr.. Gulliford says the
snow still hangs in the valleys and on
the north hillsides about Dufur, but

frosts, which may damage it to some
extent.
The pride of The Dalles, the staunch

machinery can be made while the
boat is in the water.
The dispatches announce that Sam
Brown. the Douglas county murderer
who escaped from Jail at Rosebury on
Dec. 80, has been drowned, hence the
little event in which he |

Cashcart had any enterprise about him
he would fish Browns body out of the
liver and hang it anyway.

Governor Lord Has Determined 20 Not
Reconvene the legislature.
The talk about an extra session of
the legislature may now cease, his ex-
cellency. Governor Lord having de-
termined to not reconvene that body.
The governor expresses himself as fol-
lows:
"There will be no extra session of
the legislature. There is no public
sentiment asking for it, nor have any
assurances, if 1 should call one, that
its results would justify the expense.
l have received numerous letters from
taxpayers and influential citizens
throughout the state, and, barring two
exceptions, the sentiments expressed
in such letters are averse to an extra
session. I have also talked with sew
eral members of the legislature and
received letters from others, and with
one exception, they are all opposed to
an extra session, or believe that it
would not be productive of any good.
1 am in receipt of about 80 newspapers
from different portions of the state,
and they also, with the exception of
the Oregonian, Telegram and two
others, express views against an extra
session. Taking those views as repre-
sentative of the public thought in diff
ferent localities, they indicate that
there is no public sentiment asking
for an extra session, nor do they afford
any assurance that the results of the
session would justify its cost. Unde
such circumstances, it would be neither
wise nor profitable to call an extr.,
session, nor shall I call one."

Last Evening.
About $50 Tuesday evening. William
Murray, a laborer on the canal at Cas-
cades, was caught under sliding bank
and crushed to death. just how the
accident occurred no one could tell

any one. Coroner Butts went to the
locks Wednesday, accompanied by
Geo. Dufur as stenographer, and held
an inquest over the remains. Follow
ing is the verdict of the jury:
We the jury empannelled by the
coroner to inquire into the cause of the
death of William Murray find: That
said Murray was about the age of 30
years, light complexioned and light
mustache, weight about no pounds,
height about fve foot six inches. That
he came to his death while working on
embankment at the Cascade Locks,
the said EN- mbankment sliding upon him
