The old United States revenue Gutter
Andrew johnson, which has done duty for
nearly 40 years on Lakes Michigan and
Superior, is to be sold. The vessel is now
lying ut Milwaukee. Its value has been
appraised by q board of revenue cutter Off
Gers IN
As soon as the report Of the board Of
survey has been turned In to the treasury
department the vessel will be ordered auc-
toned of to the highest bidder. The value
set by the board of appraisement will de-
termine the lowest figure at which the au-
thorities win permit the vessel totbe taken.
The johnson commenced it's career as
revenue cutter on the lakes In 1859. 1t Is
almost as old as the old warsbip Michigan.
Like the latter vessel, it is 9 side wheeler,
and has an old fashioned walking beam
engine. Its speed Is about ton knots an
hour. OF late years the johnson has made
its headquarters at Milwaukee during the
close Of navigation. In the summer months
1t has been q familiar figure lying off the
lake front at Chicago.
The johnson has rendered service to

The Tall and the Short.

Professor W. 2. Ripley furnishes tc
The Popular Science Monthly some in
teresting facts concerning the physical
stature of people in different localities.
He finds that, as rule, persons born
and bred in regions where food is plen-
II are taller than those who live in dis
tricts where the soil IL poor and food
scanty. The, natives Of fertile plains
are also taller than those Of mountain
regions When emigrants leave their
own country and go to q land where
they think they can better themselves
pecuniarily and otherwise, Professor
Ripley finds that these persons are as a
rule taller than their fellow country.

few DAYS ago there was ,

A few days ago there was an
interesting discussion between
Democratic senators on their
party's position on the tariff ques'
ton. Some Of the free traders
declared their party was for a
tariff for revenue. only aud
then their attention was called to
the fact that the Chicago platform
omitted the word "only, "and that
the party platformdid not prevent
loyal Democrats from tavoring a
tariff for other purposes than
"revenue only" Tillman stated
he was a member of the platform
committee, and that after special
consideration the word "only'
was omitted. Tillman and other
Democratic senators have voted
for a protective tariff on several
articles, and declare that they are
not violating their party princi'
Piles. This and other incidents,
give assurance to manufactures
that there is little danger of
another attempt to adopt free
trade in this country for a great
many years. With the protective
tariff principle practically adopted
for many years, the law makers
can apply themselves to asolution
of the currency question. With
beneficial tariff laws in effect and
revenue enough to pay the expenses
of the government, there will be
less disposition to demand i'm
practicable financial laws. What
the people want is better times, and
they can be brought about with.
out any radical change in the basis
of money values.

ia Save the Seals.

Great Britain has declined, on 40
count Of the expense involved, to take
measures for the more effective patrol
ling Of the open sea frequented by the
Alaska seal. There remains only one Of
two things for Us to do-either exter.
inmate the fur seal altogether or take
measures on our own account to pre-
vent it from being exterminated by
poachers, chiefly British.
David Starr Jordan, chief Of the CON-
misson that last summer visited Boring
sea in the interest Of seal preservation,
made report which is beginning to
attract the attention it deserves.
Canadians are not the only seal
thieves and murderera Schooners 60
out from our own Pacific coast in def
ance Of the law and capture seals on
the high seas. There is q season when
this may be done lawfully. called the
open season. President Jordan recon-
mends that the open season be abolish
ed altogether a. the first step toward
preserving the beautiful and interesting
animals. II our own men are not allow
Cd to catch seals outside the three mile
limit, we shall have better ground to
take measures against foreign poachera
Next, in default Of any other effective
means to preserve the seals, President
Jordan recommends that all young fe-
males be braided at the bleeding
grounds, the Pribilof islands, before
they are grown enough to put out to
sea in search Of food. The animals
shoold be branded in such a way as to
render their skins valuelese for ,con-
mercial purposes. Then there would be
no object in catching them, and they
would live to keep up the herds The
death Of every female seal involves also
the destruction Of two seal pups, one
born, the other unborn More than
100000 mother seals and 100000 pups
have thus been wantonly destroyed by
pelagic sealers.
With the young females branded In
such way as to make their skins val
ueless before they leave the islands we
should at least prevent the total destruo-
ton of the herds II at the same time,
as has been suggested by The Review Of
Reviews, young male seals were herded
and guarded at the Pribilof islands dur
ing the open sea catching season, as it
would be quite possible to do, then we
should be able to keep our own business
in our own hands.

Lines Composed ON the Death Of Amy
Rogers.

Rogers.
BY HER MOTHER, M. A. ROGERS
Come, all my friends and nelghbors dear,
The death OF Amy Rogers hear.
Almighty God, inspire my heart
That may act the poets part.
Through pain and sorrow she did wade,
Which caused her gradually to fade;
Az length the solemn day commenced
When Amy Rogers must 60 hence.
On June the eighth, as noon drew near,
The happy spirit did appear
To watt her soul to God on high
To dwell with him eternally.
And then her spirit quickly fled,
And her body rests among the dead;
Her happy soul in realms OF love,
TO live with God in heaven above.
Oh, who can tell how our hearts did swell
When Amy bid us all farewell,
And left a sorrowful world behind,
With all her friends both dear and kindi
Now she has gone to heaven above,
TO sail in free unbounded love;
The golden street she now explores
Where parting scenes are known no more.
No more to bid her friends farewell,
But with the saints in heaven to dwell;
The wonders of redeeming love
That took her soul to heaven above.
Oh, loving friends, now do not mourn,
Though she is from your bosom torn;
Her ransomed spirit is set free
To join the white-robed company.
Admiring angels view the sight
That lovely form in raiment white;
With golden palms upon her hands,
Safe in that fair celestial land;
Oh, sinners, hear her warning voice
And make religion now your choice;
She speaks to you though she is dead
Prepare in time to meet your God.

From Trout Lake.

+. L. Jackson, Judge Henry, Grant
Evans aud Milton Sunderland return
ed with their families from Trout Lake
last week They all report having u
good time but say the camping on the
mountain streams on this side of the
Columbia can't be beat by Washing
ton. Grant Evans says IL is not wild
enough at Trout Lake to suit him.
Z. l.. Gilbert and family Of The
Dalles went into camp at the lake just
as the Hood Riverites were starting
home.
Trout Lake has become noted sum
mer resort, people coming to camp
from Hood River, The Dalles, Golden
dale, Heppner, Portland and tourists
from the East. Over 400 people spent
their vacations at the lake and near by
camping places this year. Clarence
English and w. g. Stranahan counted
IS in camp at the lake while they were
there.
Trout Lake and vicinity is an excel
lent field for photographers, both pro-
fess0nal and amateur. Messrs. Stran-
ahan and English secured some three
dozen good pictures of camp life in the
mountains. Miss Theresa Morse and
Charles Castner, after returning from
a trip to Steamboat and Fish lakes,
were flattering themselves on having
secured large number of photos of the
lakes and islands, but when they came
to develop their pictures they found to
their dismay that the plates had been
ruined by exposure To candle light
while being placed in the cameras.
