UNCONVENTIONAL Coins

Preliminary proceedings on the part OF
the government of the United States
looking to the adoption of iDternational al
coins are authorized by resolution fa-
vorably reported by the house committee
on coinage, weights and measures. This
resolution provides that the president be
authorized and requested to invite an ex-
preston of opinion from the other
principal commercial nations of the world
as to the desirability and feasibility of the
adoption of international coins to be cur
rent in all the countries adopting them
at uniform value, and to be specially
adopted for invoice purposes. Ifthe ex-
pressions thus obtained from other
nations are such as in the Judgment of
the president to render conference de-
sirable, he is authorized to invite it at a
time and place to be designated by him
to consider and report a plan for the
adoption and use of such coins, composed
of gold or silver, or both. The president
is authorized to appoint three representa-
tives, subject to confirmation by the
senate.

in the Columbia river valley, and heavier
than usual south of the Blue mountains,
where thunder storms occurred.
Great benefits are being derived from
warmer weather and sunshine. Wheat
and grasses are making wonderful
growth. a large crop OF hay is assured,
since the soil is laden with moisture
sufficient to mature the crop. The rains
OF the past caused crops TO look fresh and
green. Some complaints are made of
cut worms in the wheat in some sections,
but there is no rust. Fall-sown grain
would mature without more rain, but
spring sown must still have more.
Grass on the range is furnishing good
food for the stock. Oats were sown back
from the Columbia river. Wheat and
barley have stooled we'll. The prospects,
are good for large grain crop Early
gardens are making rapid growth, and
vegetables are coming into market.
Many potatoes have been planted, and
more will be planted ii favorable wealth
er continues.
On high and sheltered ground about
Mosier prunes avoided the frost, but on
low ground many orchards are failure.
In the Hood river valley prunes appear
to be setting well, and will yet make
crop. Apple trees are in foil bloom.
Strawberries are ripening, and shipments
have been made from The Dalles. Pears
and cherries are doing we'll, and other
fruits, except peaches and apricots, are
not hurt to q great extent, and are ex.
pected to make good crops. In Union
county and to the south, where fruit trees
were late blooming, generally, the crop
prospects are not impaired.

Eastern Orennn Hnrsns


Mr.. L. H. Adams, who has been at
Goldendale and in Wasco county for a
few days buying horses for the Omnibus
Transfer Co., in Portland, is somewha
disgueted with Eastern Oregon horses on
account of the blemishes upon them
made by wire fences. He says that
eighty Of hundred horses have been
cut with wire, sufficient to greatly lessen
the value. He finds no fault with their
quality. They are heavy enough and
well built, but nearly every good looking
horse that he finds, particularly in UNA
tllla county and the Grande Ronde, has
been cut about the legs, and its value
lessened thereby. Owners OF horses are
also negligent in attending TO an injured
horse. Oftentimes an injury could be re.
paired by proper attention at the time.

MRS. STOWE At EIoHTY.FNE.
The Home and Daily Life of the Fa-
nous Authorass


nous Authoress.
Writing of "Harriet Beecher Stowe at
elghty.five," Richard Burton, in June
Ladies' Home Journal, gives delight
iul picture OF the author OF "Uncle Toms
cabin" of her home in Hartford, and Of
her daily life. "For some years now,
he Gays, entirely withdrawn from socie-
ty, Mrs, Stowe is much sfoot in the open
air, her strength, for one of her years,
being remarkable. In the summer time
the slight, bent figure, with its white
hair crowning the dark, wrinkled face, is
familiar sight to the neighbors, as she
wanders under the boughs, gathering
consolation from sun and shade and
wind, or strays down the deep bank to
where little silvery stream winds its
tortuous length behind the Clemens and
Warner grounds. On such walks trusty
attendant Lis always by her side. II ia
Mrs. Stoves fondness for exercise and
outdoor life has done much to sustain her
bodily vigor to her present age. But she
comes OF q sturdy stock. Mrs.
Stoves working days have been long
over. None Of her conspicuous literary
productions is associated with her present
residence, and her condition requires
that she be carefully guarded in every
way by her family from the intrusion OF
strangers. Yet as she walks the street,
always followed by fat little pug, who
is an autocrat in the house Git may be re-
marked that the Stowe family is devoted
to dogs), one often sees lion-hunting
visitors eager to catch glimpse of the
most noted literary woman of the land.
Requests at the door for sight of the
mistress are not infrequent, while letters
petitioning for autographs are, of course,
legion. Occasionally still the latter favor
is granted, or the authoress pens bit Of
a note in acknowledgement of some
courtesy. Her modest way Of liy.
ing implies the fact that the rewards Of
distinguished success in literature are
other than monetary. Such success is
not to be measured by tangible things.
The aims and ambitions OF those WHO
seek to do work with the pen worthy to
live, and helpful to there fellowmen, are
not those of mere practical pursuits.
How can be estimated in dollars the
deep moral glow of satisfaction expert
enced by Mrs. Stowe on the day when
the Emancipation Proclamation was
given to the wotld?"

The Truck Passed Over Them.

The hook and ladder company turned
out for run the other evening, says the
Pendleton Tribune, and being short OF a
man, an Indian known as Fish Hawk,
with little drink on board, volunteered
to give his assistance. He was harness
ed up and the fremen started All went
we'll until the corner of Main and Court
streets was reached. In making sharp
turn here, Jim Beck, who was in the
lead, stumbled and fell. The next
second Fish Hawk had fallen over Beck,
and second later the truck was being
pulled over them. One of the wheels
passed over Beck's legs and then along
the Indians back and over his head.
Neither man was hurt, however, beyond
receiving few scratches.
