A review of the business of the past
year shows it to have teen very satisfac-
tory. After building wharf at Rock
land and a large warehouse in The
Dalles, dividend of 10 per cent, was de-
clared to the stockholders. The next
improvement in contemplation is a
wharf built upon piles at Hood River.
\ 4 comparison OF freight Fates~b before
and after the establishment of the D. P.
and A. N. Co. line of boats might
prove of interest. The old rate for haul
ing wheat by rail, as stated by director
of the company to CHRONICLE reporter,
was 115s cents per bushel. The Regu-
Ilator company now charges 356 cents
per bushel. AS the total output is
about 100000 bushels yearly which
comes to The Dailes, there is a saving OF
$4,000 annually to the producers. On
wool, the old rate wasi50 cents per hun
dred, now 10 cents, saving on the esti-
mated total amount of $500, 900 pounds,
of $4,000 yearly. On all merchandise
coming in there is reduction of from
3315 to 40 per cent.

on year for sherman county.

Sherman county has as fine. stretch
of agricultpraI lands as can be found
anywhere/in the country. 1t has a
deep, black soil, extending over rolling
country. 1t is without rocks and every
foot can be plowed. Large areas OF wav-
ing grain have been an annual feature,
with rare exceptions, caused by an un-
usual spell of unfavorable weather.
Such Is the case this year. The storm
of March Let injured the fall-sown grain
to an appreciable extent on the south
and southeast hillsldes, where the snow
had disappeared under the influence of
winds and sun. A great deal of it will
consequently have to be re-sown. I'm
der favorable conditions spring-sown
grain will yield quite as largely as fall
sown. but it is generally considered a
surer and safer way to SOW in the fall.
Sherman county is one of the great
wheat-raising sections of Oregon, and it
is hoped that favorable weather may yet
restere full crop, but which has re-
ceived present back-set by the March
cold snap.

The manufacturer of the modern hi
cycle presents one of the most compile,
and delicate problems known to me
ehanics. The reason is that what sci
entists term the factor of safety" is
lower in the bicycle than in almost any
other mechanical product. In high.
pressure guns, for instance, the safety
is even as great as 20-that is, guns are
made 20 times as strong as is theoretic.
ally necessary for the strain they arc
to bear. In ordinary guns the factor Of
safety is II, in boilers it is about six. in
bridges usually five, and in almost
every other form of machine it is at
least four. Such wide margins of extra
strength are deemed as an offset to
errors in theoretical computations or
defects in material construction. With
the modern light construction in BIZ
cycles it is reduced to a very small mar
gin, being as low in. instances as 1.25.
Such being the case, it can be under
stood readily why the makers of stand
ard high-grade machines maintain i
rigid system Of Inspection. In fact
every well-appointed bicycle factory
has thoroughly equipped testing de.
partment, in order that there may be
no miscalculations or guesswork in the
material entering the construction Of
their wheels.-Boston Transcript.

Manager j. A. Filcher, of the Califor-
MIA board of trade, has received a COM
munication Of rare interest from south
ern California regarding the raising of
olives for drying purposes. If dried
olives possess all the qualities claimed
by their advocate a new industry may
be developed in this state and econom-
zeal persons be furnished with a food
product, palatable and highly nutri-
tious, which will cost not more than
FIVE cents a day. w. S. Manning, of
Ballard, Santa Barbara county, has sent
a sample of the dried fruit for the in
spection of the board of trade. He con-
tends that no product on earth contains
as much of the elements of nutrition
necessary for the sustenance of the
body as ripe olive. The dried fruit
will. of course, contain all of these
qualities, and all that is necessary to
render it pleasant to the taste is soak
ing and sailing It. The oil Of the olive
q equal to meat and the pulp is as good
as bread.-San Francisco Call.

The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin of dreams has been mad,
by NJ Moreau, the French scientist
He divides dreams into the dreams Of
health and the dreams that are the re
suit of the diseased state of the mind
or body. In regard TO the latter il need
only be remarked that persistent dream
ing is one of the most invariable symp
toms of insanity, and it is a psycholog.
ical fact if genius is near allied to mad.
ness. genius must be expected to dream
more than ordinary men. With regard
to the dreams Of health, they are the re,
suit of an imperfect state Of conscious.
ness or an imperfect state of sleep, nc.
cording as we look at it. tits obvious
that the mind of the clever man. that is
constantly occupied with many schemes
and thoughts, ismore liable to be awake
when his body is asleep than that Of the
duliard, whose mind is often asleep
when his body is awake. Thus the
sleep of the plowboy has become pro.
verbal on account Of its undisturbed
nature. Iu most cases a man Of lively
imagination and quick brain is undoubt
eddy more liable to dream than the
dullard.

ART IN THE HOME.

There Should BE Books and BOoIScasel
in Every Room.
A bookcase should, if possible, find
u place in every room of the house, UNI
less, perhaps, we except the dining
room, usually kept for the purpose of
dining, as it at once adds the charm OF
comfort and LONELINESS, besides being Il
most useful possession. Without books
a home lacks it's best ornaments, and to
FL an odd corner there is nothing so
nice as a pretty, well-designed book
case. Naturally, we should not use
the s2me design for the different
roofns. In this. as IN all things, appro
priateness has to be considered. It
must suit the style of the room, and be
in keeping with the other furniture.
For the library it is usual to have
fitted bookcases, in oak or walnut,
which are sometimes carried froni
floor to ceiling, but may be .Iads. only
half way to form a dado, the top shelf
being furnished with handsome mold
ing and forming a ledge for the display
of few choice ornaments.
In the sitting-room hall a dwarf book
case. with nicely carved pedestal mold
ings, looks extremely well. and viii be
found very handy for books of ref
erence.
A still simpler bookcase may be made
by fitting three shelves into a recess
and finishing the edge with a small
bead molding. or even a good silk
fringe, and suspending silk curtain
fl ON the lowest shelf to the floor, be-
hind which newspapers, etc, n.ay be-
placed. This style, again, is very use
full in the bedroom, and it is so readily
made that anyone who has an idea OF
carpentry can manage to erect one for
himself at very small cost. Then.
again, there is the small, hanging book
case, OF, rather, shelves. which are usu
ally found in bedrooms and girls sit
ting-rooms, and are always useful and
pretty wall deeorations.-C Chicago Inter

for scientific journal, and attemp<s
to show that these foods are neither

take up whatever some young scientist
directs. We cannot understand this.
