placed in his mouth. First, a common
tent peg was used for the purpose. and
then tent peg with handkerchief

was forced into his mouth. These hor.

Pottery $4,000 Years Old.

In digging out the colossal statue Of
Rameses II. nine feet and four inches
Of Nile mud had to be removed before
the platform was reached. It 10 known
that this platform was laid in the year
1881 B. c., when Ramescs was still
living. Therefore three and one.half
inches OF accumulated Milo mud repre-.
sents the lapse Of century, 1t being
known that $500 years have passed
since the platform was put down. I'm.
der that platform was found thirty
feet more Of Nile mud, before the orig.

900 years must have elapsed from the
time Of the Niles first overflow down
to the time Of Rameses II. The curl.

Tie O,egonian has damned
free coinage as being not only
wrong i'll policy but wrong in
principle. 1t was not independ-
ent free coinage that aroused its
ire-:t was free coinage out-and-
out. 1t makes it dream of
anarchy. The Oregonian has
been asking, derisively, the sill
yer republicans of Oregon how
they enjoy the financial plank of
the national convention, and
wants to know if they will bolt
or face about. That convention
has declared in favor of free
coinage by international agree
ment. This paper is not for free
silver, but it would like to ask
the Oregonian how it likes the
national platform, and whether
it will bolt Or face about. For
the sake of a lively campaign in
this state it is to be hoped that
the Oregonian will not bolt. If
it should the opposition will
allow Oregon to go republican by
default. They will have no hope
if the Oregonian is on their side.

wheat, and while waiting to unload it,
the team took fright and dashed up the
street to the hotel Corvallis, where they
turned south to Miller's store, thence
westward, continuing their way several
blocks before being caught. On account
of the heavy load the fight of the team
was anything but speedy, and as they
kept in the middle of the road they re-
ceived no injuries, and the wagon and
harness no damage. When the team
started, Frank seized the reins and at
tempted to prevent the runaway, but in
some manner lost his balance and fell

William Grant returned last week from
a several months absence in the east.
The announcement of his brothers
death and request from the family to
come east and look after the settlement
of the estate, took Mir. Grant to o'Carmi,
Illinois, during the winter, where he
remained during greater portion of his
abseEce. This fall MIR. Grant intends to
return again to Illinois and close up the
affairs of his deceased brothers. estate.
He will be accompanied on hissreturn to
Oregon by his brothers family, consist
ing of a daughter, two sons and their
mother, who will make their home with
Mr.. Grant during the balance of his life.
Upon his "trip home Mr.. Grant visited ST.
Louis week after therecent cyclone had
devastated portions of the city, and after
walking among the ruins for few hours
concluded that the most graphic discrip-
tions of the tornado, as sent out by the
newspaper correspondents had failed to
do the matter justice, so appalling was
the horror, of the>storn Mr. Grant says
that people of theteast are ignorant of
Oregon and her variedfresources and ad-
vantages. During his stay, however, he
did considerable missionary work, and as
result several Illinois families will find
homes in western Oregon during the
next year. Mr.. Grant left Friday for his
home ON the, coast, known as Far Far.
