Edited by ]. C. HANLEY.

1t appears to the casual observer a
strange condition of things to see the
State Central Committees of two an.
parent hostile political parties occuy.
Ing quarters on the same floor. and a
continual Interchange Of visits and
conference going on all day between
the members of the both committees.
1t Is really pleasant spectacle to see
the zeal and consideration which tie
of1cers and members of the two state
central committees employ towards
each other. 1t looks as though fusion
was substantial element connected
with this campaign. And it will re.
qu1re more of the great fund which
the Republicans have on tap to make
any inroads on the silver sentiment
which Is growing each hour In this
state.

6th floor OF the Globe building, Mr.
+. G. Gibbs the chairman of the State
Central Committee, has moved into
the city where he will remain during
the progress Of the campaign, and de.
vote his personal supervision of mat.
tiers pertaining to the conducting of
the campaign. Hon. Thos. J. Meighen n.
Of Forestville, one of the preside ntiai
electors and chairman OF the cam
paign committee Of the Peoples Par
ty, is In the city and giving personal
supervision to mapping out the policy
OF the new committee and preparing
for hot and vigorous campaign. 1t
was wise selection to have Mr.. Thos.
Meighen selected to the chairmanship
OF the campaign ctmmittee as he
brings to it the experience and knowl-
edge which peculiarly fits him for the
place. His large personal acquaint-
ance throughout the state and his
intimate knowledge Of the needs and
requirements of the different districts,
and his personal popularity and we'll
known integrity, gives him the CT MI
dence and esteem of every Populist In
the state, puts him in q position to
WELD vast influence in the councils
OF the party and direction of a vigor-
Gus campaign.

The Willamette river seems to be
steadily deepening every year and also
increasing in volume Of water. In
places the channel has an entirely diff
ferent course than that remembered by
the Oldest settlers. 1t really seems to
be going back to its old bed of prehis-
toric times. Such radical changes
have taken place in the channels Of
other rivers, but the cause Of which
has been just as deeply involved in
mystery.
A short time since cannerymen were
complaining Of slow market for their
wares, and those who had not packed
fall fish were railing against those
who had. OF late there has been a
brisk demand for salmon, and all the
fall pack has been sold and shipped,
and there are only few small lots Of
chinook left on the river. 1t is stated
on good authority that more salmon
has been shipped from this section dur
ing the present month than during
January Of the five previous years.
The demand is principally from the
East, where many new markets have
been opened up. 1t will be remem-
bered that the pack Of fall salmon was
very large, and it has found favor and
has been sold for good price.
Alta recent meeting of the state board

ARE YOU LEFT-HANDEO?
Were the Aroriginnls AmbidcStrous in
Their Practice OF Art:

We're the Atoriginnls AmbidcStrous in
Their Practice OF Art:
DR.. Daniel c. Brintou discusses the
qaestion of left-hnndcdncss in North
American aboriginal art. If hands
worked in the past as they do to-day,
then in primitive times the left-banded,
il would be supposed, were not many.
Take 100 Americans, and from two TO
four per cent. only are left-handed.
This two or four percent. may DO gem
cral work better or more easily with
the left than with the right hand. In
the Q6 per cent of right-handcd peo-
pie there may be some few who arc am
bidcxtrous. elias this proportion nj
WAYS been the same in the human Spe-
cies, and does it obtain to-day among
savage trbes?" DR.. John Evans. az
quoted by Sir Daniel Wilson, believes
that there was manifest predomi-
nance of observation-disclosures among tn,
palcolithic nint-workers of southern
England" On the other side, De Nor
tillctt, after careful study of 354 stone
scrapers coming from France and
Switzerland, arrives ut the contrary
opinion. In the University of Pennsyl-
yania, among collection of Hints OK
the very earliest types, found on the
Libyan plateau, near Abydos, there are
two, both of which, DR.. Brinton writes,
are made for a left-handcd man. 1t is
difficult to describe, without giving
great space to the subject, how the
archaeologist can exactly determine
whether n tool was to be used in the
right or the left hand. Studying 200
stone or flint blades coming from vari-
Gus parts of the United States, the
largest proportion was made for the
right-handed. But, nevertheless, there
was "33 per cent. for" probably left
handed persons, or, as DIR. Brinton
writes il. 'for persons, as / prefer to
believe, who were ambidex-
trous." That there must have been
left. handed artists becomes more clear
in this way. Ask anyone to draw n
profile, and almost invariably the right
handed person makes the face looking
TO the left, while the left-handed per-
sons sketch is to the right. In ex-
amining, then. a collection of Amer
lean aboriginal rock drawings there is
prcdominance of profiles looking to
the left, but not infrequent occurrences
! of profics in the opposite direction.
! DR.. Brinton comes to the conclusion
| that DE Mortillet was correct, also that
there were more lcft-handed or am
bidcxtrous American aborigines than
Europeans. Perhaps. rs DR.. Brinton
indicates it, the specialization of hands
came with n more recent culture
