MY SHORE ADVENTURE.
CHAPTER XIII,


HOW BEGAN MY SHORE ApvEN-
TURE.
The appearance of the island wheni
came on deck next morning was al
together changed. Although the
breeze had now utterly failed, we had
made a great deal of way during the
night, and were now lying becalmed
the low eastern coast. Gray-colored
woods covered a large part of the sur
face. This even tint was indeed
broken up by streaks of yellow sand
break in the lower lands, and by many
tall trees Of the pine family, out-top-
ping the others-some singly, some in
clumps; but the general co.oring was
uniform and sad. The hills ran up
clear above the vegetation in spires of
naked rock. All were strangely
shaped, and the Spy-glass, which was
by 800 or 400 feet the tallest on the
island, was likewise the strangest in
CONFORMATION, running up cheer from
almost every side, and then suddenly
cut of at the top like a pedestal to put
a statue on.

Railway Mail Weigher.

Frank j. Van Winkle, for several
years professor of mathematics in the
normal school at Weston, and demo
cratic candidate for surveyor, has tenn
porarily abandoned the conventional
black OF teacher and scholar for the
livery Of Uncle San, says the East
Oregonian. In April of last year Prof.
Van Winkle took the civil service ex-
animation for railway mail clerk for the
sake of experience. In March of this
year there vas POSITION open as mail
weighsr which he was called upon to
fill. He is now on the route between
Pendleton and Huntington, and finds
his new dutiesa beneficial change from
the monotony and confinement of the
school room.
The report that he has resigned bis
professorship in the normal school is
entirely without foundation. The board
of regents granted him temporary
leave Of absence until April 26, when he
will resume the chair OF mathematics.

Rernler Will sho It.

Archie Bernier, who resides on the
reservation, had an exciting experience
with wouldbe thieves last Thursday
night. He was aroused at O'Clock in
the evening by hearing noise in his
back yard. Fastening to the wood
shed, he found calf tied, evidently to
be carried off. He heard a person rushing
away in the darkness, and shot several
times but didn't hit anything
1t is also reported that Dave Bonifer
recently surprised couple of fellows in
a hack, who were@trying to make away
with calf. When Bonifer came upon
them, they whipped up and made away
before they could be recognized.
