SALOON IN TWO COUNTRIES.

Ingenious Arrangement for the Thirsty
on tho Mcxic,2 Border.
There is an ingenious sGloonkeeper
who conducts a Tlace in little village
on the border between this country and
Mexico, says the Louisville Commercial.
The village is half in California and
half in Lower California. There ere
two bars in his saloon, one on the south
and one on the north side of a large
room. The dividing line between the
two countries bisects the house, and
one bar is located in Mexico and the
other is located in the United States.
The proprietor pays big License to both
countries, but still makes handsome
living out of the business. He has
suspended all the way across the street
in front a unique sign. On the United
States side it reads, in letters a foot
high: "Your first and last chance"
On the other side, in Spanish, it ex-
presses the same idea.
The saloon is known by that manic
for miles around, ard many an eastern
tourist who has qUenched his thirst
there will remember it. 1t is a great
resort for 'cow punchers" of both ma
tions who work in that territory.
Hence many is the bloody fight that
takes place there, and few are the ones
brought to justice whose crimes are
committed there.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Serretary
Of the Navy Long today in answer to
irquiries as to whether the depart

'erning the disaster to the Maine,
Vrote the following:
mo telegram has been received

The Old Folks Social Was n Happy
Event.
Vogt opera house was crowoed to
the very doors Tuesday with an ap-
preciative audience that was very
happily entertained by the sold folks"
that is the people OF today represent
ing their ancestors of 100 years ago.
About 10 persons appeared on the stage
dr. ssed in colonial costumes, and pre-
sented the appearance of just having
come out of the bandboxs that held
the aristocracy of Washington's time,
aud they sang songs that carried the
Oldest inhabitant back to the days of
his childhood. All the musical rem
ditions were perfect. and had any old
citizen of colonial days been able to
awake from his grave and been trans
planted into the Vogt Opera house he
would have been convinced hat the
world had net changei one whit. He
would have been surrounded with the
associates of his time, and the customs
familiar to his age.
The program heretofore published
was carried out in full, and q few spec
ialties were thrown in for good measure
that were highly appreciated by all.
The social was perfect success in
every respect, and was indeed credit

church under whose auspices it was

% HOOKED A BEE MARTEN. z

He Was Fishing for Trout, But Cot a Bite
of Another Sort.
"A strange thing happened to me
when I was trout fishing last year up
in northern New York" said Andrew
Bishop, of Bridgeport, Conn. to a
Washington Star man. 1.-The fish were
very wary, the stream was narrow, and
the pools were but lightly bordered
with bushes or cover of any kind, con-
sequently when 1 would reach prom
ising looking spot I would get as far
from the bank as possible, and at the
same time be able to drop my fly over
in the water. l had followed this plan
with poor success, getting only one or
two strikes in as many hours, when sud-
denly my line began to run out with a
whirr. No trout had ever carried off a
fly for me in such way before, and /
was nonplussed, but in moment saw
that it was not fish that was making
my reel sing. Rising from the surface
OF the stream and flying above it was
bee marten which had gobbled my fly
as cast it over the bank, and he was
making away with it. The bird soon
had nearly all my line out, and not
caring to lose it. began to play him as
would play a fish. He struggled gamely,
tell you, but the hook had caught in
his beak and held him firmly. At last,
after full hour of fighting, the bird
futtered helplesslv to the ground, and
1 released him. You may think that's

SHE LOVES THE FRENCH.
That Is Why Queen Victoria Ii So Pspui
lar In France.

That Is Why Queen Victoria Il So Pepu-
lar In France.
The great popularity enjoyed BY
Queen Victoria in France is due not
only to her world-recognized virtues;
both as an exemplary sovereign and an
exemplary woman, but also to the
knowledge of her extreme fondness for
the French nation and French people
generally, says the New York Journal.
One of the secrets of the queens
great personal influence in European
politics-an influence ever used on the
side of peace and good will is her
equal attachment to the two great con-
tinental nations which have so long
been rivals.
l believe we shall know some day
better than we know now how much
her majesty has done to bring about q
better understanding between France
and Germany, and SO to promote the
peace of the world
Some idea of the burden of official
work that falls upon the queen may be
gathered from the statement that in
ahe course of last year her majesty
mastered the contents of no fewer than
twenty-elght thousand dispatches /:
In these democratic days we are so
accustomed to keep uppermost in our
minds the social side of the sovereipn's
duties that we are apt to forget how
heavy is her share in the actual work
of government.
Though her ministers are, of course,
responsible. no official act of theirs is
valid without her assent, which is never
given without thorough and consci-
entious examination of the question in
hand.
But, in addition to her majesty's
heavy state duties, there is the enor-
nous private correspondence which her
vast and widely-spread family circle
renders necessary and which she main
tains with the most scrupu, GUS and un-
failing regularity.
There are probably few women of
seventy-six who get through a tithe of
the work daily performed by the inde-
fatigable queen.

SPLENDID FOOTBALL.
The Game Between Portland and The
Dalles was All That Could be Ex

/
pected.
1t was advertised that the football
| game Tuesday between Portland and
The Dalles should be the best ever
witnessed in Eastern Oregon, and the
promise was fulfilled in every respect.
Both teams were in the pink OF con-
dition, and when the men were lined
up by the respective captains it was
the general expression tina no finer lot
of athletes could be got together in
the state.
The visitors had the kick off and
when the pigskin was started bound
ing away toward their goal it looked
as if Portland had the better of the
game, but by some fine rushes The
field, and it was impossible for the
Portlander's to check its progr ess,
though for % minutes they resisted
the local players with all their might
and main. Billy Fields made some
star rlays that gave the local team the
advantage, as did also Bartell and
San1ers, and just before 30 minutes
had elapsed, Grant Mays got posses
sion of the ball, and by almost super
human effort made touch Gown, that
scored four points for The Dalles. The
remainder of the first half The Dalles
team consumed, and to conclude the
first half Bartell kicked 4 goal, credit
ing two more points for the homo
players.
At the beginning of the second half
De Hall sent the ball bounding we'll up
the field, but Fields was there to stop
it., and little advantage was gained by |
the Portlanders. From this on there |
was some fine playing. Clune and
Manulton did some very clever work, |
and the rushes the Portlanders made
were simply irresistible. Foot
by foot the sphere was forced
toward the goal. Finally Clune
was able to force it over the
line and made a touchdown for Port
land. Excitement nov ran high and
the ':rooters'' for The DAlles tried
hard to "rattlA" De Hall when he back
ed away to kick goal, but their ef-
iorts were without avail. for when he
struck the bail it went flying in the
lir, over the goal and far into the field
beyond. This f. the te inns with six

M'KINLEY SPEAKS.
He Wants Peace With Spain but VIII Pre-
pare for War

He Wants Peace with Spain but WIN Pre-
pare for War.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24-The Tribune
this morning prints the following
special from Washington:
To senator who called upon him
yesterday in order to ask some serious
questions as to the policy of the ad
ministration. President Mckinley,
with the utmost frankness, uttered the
following words:
81 do not propose to do anything at
all to accelerate war with Spain. Up
to the present I do not think war is
either necessary or inevitable. I
would be lax in my duty, however. if
did not prepare for the future. The
situation is grave, and the policy of
the administration will be determined
almost entirely by the course of events
from time to time. There is no neces-
sity of alarming the people, but con-
gress must be ready to assist the ad-
ministration without making too many
inquiries as to the course of current
events."
There is no doub5 of the fact that
the government of the United States
is actually preparing for war with
Spain. 1t is not inevitable that war
will follow, but the activity is too un-
mistakable to be concealed. The pres
ident and his cabinet unite in the be.
lief still, in spite of all evidence to
the contrary, that the explosion of the
Maine was an unfortunate accident,
but they recognize the fact that the
contrary may prove true at almost any
hour, and that if it is shown even in
ferentially that Spain had hand in
the catastrophe there will be but one
thing to do. and that will be to seize
the island Of Cuba by force of arms.
AT no time since the war of the rebel
lion has the military branch of the
government been so active as it is to-
day.
