Lunched Delivered in Offices.

A. midday lunch delivered at your
Office for ten cents is something that
one will hardy find outside of Chicago.
In fact, says the Tsn,es-Herald it is a
comparatively new enterprise. Like
many another enterprise, it was born
from q necessity, aided in measure by
ingenious energy. Less than year
ago a lunchhouse proprietor on Adams
street began to deliver few midday
lunches to friends in different Office
buildings. He saw the possibilities in
this new field of enterprise and hired
men to visit Office buildings and secure
custom for the delivery of his lunches.
1t met with favor and encourage
ment and grew and spread. To-day not
less than 5000 lunches are delivered by
. half-dozen competitors, and the bust
ness is increasing every day to large
proportions. Not only are lunches
delivered at the office buildings, but at
the various department stores for clerks
and other employees. Time as we'll as
money is saved thereby.
The menu is: Two nice ham sand
witches, piece OF pie according to the
, taste of the patron, pickles, small bit
Of cheese, paper napkin and tooth
picks. This costs but ten cents de.

AN exchange says: 1T is funny
how people discover the real impor-
lance of a newspaper when they get
into a scrape or do something they
are ashamed of. They live for years
without subscribing, and when asked
to advertise say at does not pay but
the minute they get into scrape they
rush to a newspaper and request it
not to say anything about it; and in
case of trouble in which their names
happen to be mentioned, they realize
Immediately that the paper has cir
culation and that they do not want
their names spread all over creation"

Bicycles Of Paper.

Thin MANILA paper is now being
used for making tubes for bicycles, ac-
cording to an English exchange. The
process of manufacture is ingenious,
the paper being wound upon a mandrel
and coated by means of glue from
spray, thus insuring the absolute
joining of the paper, which is made
solid by means of great pressure.
When the tube has been constructed,
some forty layers of paper being re-
quired for this purpose, it is subjected
to great pressure from the inside after
the mandrel has been removed and
the tube placed in very strong mold.
This pressure is derived from hy-
draulic machine. The outer layers of
paper are acted upon by means of a
rolling machine, which hardens them,
and the tubes are then polished in a
lathe and stained to the desired color,
when they are vanished and ready
for use.

CsEzssd So Much Electricity That . Ca,
Is Set OH Fire.
The efficacy of black cat as light
ming rod has been too frequently the
subject of discussion and assertion to
be treated at length at the present
time, the drift of which is to show the
apt manner in which an illustration of
this popular belief can be deduced
from an incident that occurred on the
evening of the Fourth of July to the
wife of q well-known business man of
Washington.
On the evening in question the young
matron had been eXpending consider
able time and attention upon hand
some black cat, which she continued to
stroke, Notwithstanding the assertion
of her family that by SO doing she was
charging herself with electricity.
Finally after dark the young matron
decided that pleasant way of wind
ing up the evening would be to go for
d ride on the electric car to Bethesda.
Accordingly, inviting two of her
friends to accompany her, she set out
for the ride in high spirits.
The trio found places together near
the middle of the car, and had gone a
short distance beyond the power house
when their conversation was inter
rupted by the conductor hurriedly
bending over them as though to avert
some catastrophe beneath and telling
them to leave the car with all speed,
as it was on fire. Scarcely had they
left their seats before sheet of flame
burst through the floor just beneath
che very spot over which the young
matron had been sitting, the electrical
apparatus beneath having ignited at
hat very point.

Hundreds of Animals Killed on Barbed |
Wire Fences.

Hundreds of Animals Killed on Barbed
Wire Fences.
A Lewiston dispatch to the Spokane
Spokesman Review says: Many In
diaa horses are being killed on the
reservation by barhed wire fences.
The degenerate horses, abandoned by
their Indian owners, have become an
acknowledged nuisance upon the pub
lie ranges. They roam about in wild
herds and are as wild as antelops.
Their watering places have been
fenced up and it is hard to divert them
from the runways of a lifetime. Each
herd is led by patriarch stallion, who
holds his command with discipline
that would be credit to military tao
tics. The herds range on the hills far
from wafer, seeking the springs only
once or twice a week. Their runs are
sometimes as far as 10 miles. The
stallion drives the herd to water, fol-
lowing in their flying wake and driv-
ing every tagging beast with hoof and
teeth, pushing them at high rate of
speed, much after the manner of buffa-
loea. Mad with thirst and blind with
dust they rush into the wire fences
that cross the old trails, the leaders
being driven with such force that
throats are cut and legs are severed,
but the tanoe COCA down, and the herd
proceeds over plowed fields and
through growing crops. AS result
the reservation is covered with dead
and dying horses, every section re-
porting the same scene and allowing
the Victims to fare as best they may.

whisksy vs.. Bettiasnska.

A man was brought to the country
hospital last Saturday from the Echo
neighborhood who is the victim of a
rattlesnake bite, The reptile struck
him on the hand while he was walking
along the river about a mile above
Echo, at 5 O'Clock last evening. He
was kept full of liquor. and arrived at
the county hospital when very dark.
He is drunk yet, and unable to give
his name. The hand is not badly
swollen, and it is thought the whiskey
will overcome the poison. This case
disproyes the theory thst no amount
of whiskey will make man intoxicated

Rich Quartz at SPARTA.

John Cobb, mining man OF Sparta,
was in Baker City the other day and
created some excitement by display
ing specimens of quartz taken out of
the ledge recently discovered by E. S.
Thompson and Kanaka Sam. Regard
ing the mine the Democrat says:
Ina weeks WORK, by sinking an
eight foot shaft, Messrs. Thompson
and Knacka Sam obtained $500 of the
sunny metal, their work on Friday
yielding them over $500. While they
thus struck pocket in the ledge, the
vein shows gold throughout in excel
lent paying quantities and is likely to
become steady pro lucer.
Mr.. Cobb reports a rich find on
Paddy's creek, mile above Charles
Reeds mine. This new strike is so
thickly sown with gold that one man
can pound out in a day, with com.
mon hand mortar, over $40 in gold
These two strikes, and the mine just
filed upon by Joseph Wright, near
Sparta, are further indicative of the
treasures in the mighty Eagle noun
tains, and the news of these latest
finds is producing wide spread excite
ment.

both.

dinner saw a $40 bill lying on the curb
stone. OF course he picked it up and
took the numbers in order to find the
owner. While at home, his wife
remarked that the butcher had sent in
a bill for meat amounting to SO. The
only money he had with himawas the
bill he had found, which he gave to
her and she paid the butcher. The
butcher paid it to farmer for calf
aud farmer paid it to a merchant who
in turn paid it to the washerwomaD;
and she owing the banker a note of
$40, went to the banker and paid her
note. The banker recognized the bill
as the one he had found, and which up

SPEAKS FROM ExpEsIENcE.
The Pendleton East Oregonian's View
Regarding an illustrated Edition.

The Pendleton East Oregonian's Views
Regarding an illustrated Edition.
The Times. s.Mountaineer will issue
an illustrated edition of The Dalles and
Wasco county about January ]. 1t has
been anyyears since special edition
of a newspaper was issued in The
Dalles. Therefore it promises to be of
interest and its circulation will be eX-
ceedingly beneficial to that section
East Oregonian.
In regard to this matter the East
OregOnian speaks from experience.
That paper issued an illustrated edi-
tion last January, and Pendleton and
Umatilla county are now realizing the
benefits arising therefrom in the way
of increased business and immigration
that has been attracted through the
excellent showing of the resources of
Umatilla county made by the East Or
egonian.
In this connection we desire to say
with reference to the forthcoming
special edition of the Times-Mount tain
eer, that the articles it contains will
be strictly descriptive of Wasco. Sher-
man and Klickitat counties. There
will be no attempt to reflect the politi-
cal principles of the paDer or any of it's
contributors. The edition will be is
sued solely in the interest of the In
land Empire, with the view of adver-
tising It's resources and attracting de-
sirable immigration. 1t will be an is
sue in which all may feel an interest,
and we invite contributors from every
section of the three counties on sub
jects relating to the products, resources,
climate, soil, public lands, and in fact
anything that will be of general inter-
est and will tend to attract public at
tention to the Inland Empire.
