The Sarah Dixon will make an extra
trip to the Cascades, taxing the Hattie
Belle from there to bonneville. The
Dalles City will tow Jhe Regulator hull
from Kelly's Landing to Cascades and
return to Portland Nth the Hattie Belle
in tow. Last, but not least, "Sarah"
will bring the neF hull of the Regulator
and the old hull of the Dalles City to
The Dalles. That is the "hull'' thing
in a nutshell.
The pastor of the M. E. church es-
pecially requests that all probationers of
the church, as well as members in full
connection, with those who are in
sympathy with the church, be present
at the morning service tomorrow. The
subject which he expects to bring be-
fore them 1s not of financial character,
but one which is of interest to all in
connection with the church.
Mr.. Simpson, the telephone operator
at Canyon City, informs US that the
first report that went abroad last week
regarding the Indian trouble in Grant
Z
and that parties returning from the stseat
of war" say that only one Indian was
killed and another slightly wounded.
Geo. Cutting was the only white Ilan
killed, and that no particular Indian
scare was experienced by the citizens
stirred up bad blood between the settlers
and the Indians, and more trouble may
ensue.-Heppner Times.
This morning word reached here

Mr.. Shanks was about 45 years old and
formerly resided in The Dalles, being

Among the names of the boys in Ma
Mia to whom Christmas boxes have
been forwarded by the Emergency Corps
of Portland for relatives and friends, ap-
pears that of Admiral Dewey. This box
was sent by an old lady in Oregon who
failed to leave her name. It contained
large, red Oregon apples raised by the
good old lady who picked each one and
carefully packed them and brought them
to town. She had no boy of her own
there, and thinking Admiral Dewey
might be an orphan boy. or that his
friends might forget him, thereby caus.
ing him to spend gloomy Christmas
she determined to send him the apples
If they will stand the trip, which il
more than doubtful, it is safe to predict
that the hero of Manila will have al
good time as any of the soldier boys
when the boxes arrive, and we believe
among all the presents Admiral Dewey
receives he will not fail to appreciate
the gift of the dear old lady.

Queen wilhelmina's Palaces.

In the st. Nicholas there is an article
on "a Girl Queen" by Jeanette May
Fisher. The author says of Queen
Wilhelmina: Her official residence Is
an unpretentious white palace, built
around a small court in a narrow little
street Of The Hague. But more IA
vored home is the dream-lke Queens
Palace in the Wood" which calls to
mind the tabled abode of the Sleeping
Beauty" This dainty villa is pictur-
esquely located on the edge of a mag
nificent park just out of the Dutch cap
ital. Lost to sight amid the rich foliage
of the trees, when finally it comes into
view, it dawns on the delighted vision
like veritable fairy palace.
Another of Wilhelmina's residences
is the hideous old royal palace at AM
sterdam, built on foundation of 49,
$50 piles, and frowning gloomily from
a central square of that busy city. Here
it was that Hortense de Beauharnais,
while Queen of Holland, held her bril-
liant court with true French magnifi-
cence. The immense ballroom in which
she was wont to tread a stately meas
ure with the gay courtiers Is still shown
to visitors; and a splendid room 1t isl!
We could but wonder how she kept
warm In those gorgeous but draughty
apartments! Our jovial guide, in a
very doubtful lingo of mixed Dutch,
French and German, proudly drew our
attention to an American stove, quite
lost to view in a corner of the great
hall. The palace is now kept open
mainly as a show place, for it is inhab-
tied during only three days Of the year.
At that time the two queens repair in
state to Amsterdam, where they review
the Dutch feet on the Zuyder Zee.

AN ECHO FROM THE PAST.


a little head is nestled on my shoulder,
a little form is clasped against my
breast,
And back and forth in the quaint willow
rocker
seek to soothe the tired child to rest.
This joyous, mischievous, fun-loving ur.
chin,
Whose tender summers only number
two,
Who gently pats my cheek with dimpled
fingers
The while he softly whispers, ST love
co."
The darkened room and gently swaying
rocker
Fail to conjure the drowsy god Of sleep;
And SO listen to the wondrous tories
That elf-like through his busy fancies
creep.
Although scarce can understand the lam
guage
He uses to describe the tales he tells,
IT'S little matter, for the busy chatter
Stirs up my heart where fondest MEM
cries dwell.
OF one who years ago, like this dear treas
ure,
Pressed softest kisses on my lips and
brow;
Who in those happy days returned in full
Loves measure,
Clasped in my fond embrace as Ralph
is now.
The years have flown, and changes have
been many,
And Time has laid his hand on heart and
brow;
But still l seem to hear his sweet voice
calling Mamma"
Much like this little rogue says Grand
ma" now.

APPLES GOOD AS MEDICINE.
They Are Both Healthful and Pleas
ant for Food.

Chemically, the apple is composed of
vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum.
chlorophyll, malic acid. gallic acid. lime
and much water. Furthermore, the apple
contains a larger percentage of phos-
phorous than any other fruit or vegetable.
This phosphorus is admirably adapted
for renewing the essential nervous mat
ter, lethicin, of the grain and spinal cord.
It is perhaps for the same reason, rudely
understood, that old Scandinavian ira
ditions represent the apple as the foods
of the gods, who, when they felt them
selves growing feeble and infrm, resorted
to this fruit for renewing their powers
of mind and body. Also the acids of the
apple are of great use for men of seden-
tary habits. whose livers are sluggish in
action, these acids serving to eliminate
from the body noxious matters. which If
retained would make the brain heavy and
dull, OF bring about jaundice or skin erup-
tions and other allied troubles. Some
such experience must have led to our
custom of taking apple sauce with roast
pork, rich goose, and like dishes. The
malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutralize any excess OF
chalky meat. 1t is also fact that such
fresh fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe, and without
sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach,
rather than provoke it. Their vegetable
salts and juices are converted into aka
line carbonates, which tend to counteract
acidity. A ripe, raw apple is one of the
easiest vegetable substances for the stom-
ach to deal with, the whole process Of the
digestion being completed in IS minutes.
Gerard found that the "pulpe of roasted
apples mixed in quart of faire water,
and laibored together until it becomes to
be as apples and ale-which We call

eases of the raines. which myself hath

Five Dollars Postage for Letters.

w. F. Bailey contributes an article to
the Century on "The Pony Express"
from st. Joseph, NO., to San Francisco.
Mr.. Bailey says: The letters, before
being placed in the pockets, were
wrapped in oiled silk to preserve them
from moisture. The maximum weight
of any one mail was twenty pounds;
but this was rarely reached. The
charges were originally S. for each let
ter of one-half ounce sr less; but after
ward this was reduced to $3.50 for each
letter not exceeding one-half ounce, this
being in addition to the regular United
States postage. Specially made light
weight paper was generally used to re-
duce the expense. Special editions of
the Eastern newspapers were printed
on tissue paper to enable them to reach
subscribers on the Pacific coast. This,
however, was more as an advertise
ment. there being little demand for
them ct their necessarily large psics

RED INK, A RED MANS DRINK.
Great Quantities of This Fluid Con-
sumed in Indian Territory.

Vigilant as the deputy marshals are in
Indian territory, and drastic as the APP
plication of the prohibition law by the
courts may be, several kinds of intoxiea-
ton safely defy all statutory provisions.
Amazing quantities of Jamaica ginger
are consumed in the territory The stores
handle ginger as a legitimate drug. il
teaspoonful will cause choking and cough
ing for several minutes in throat unae-
customed to swallowing the powerful
stuff. But there are men in the terrific
ry who drink two or three bottles day
with apparent satisfaction to their edu-
Gated stomachs. More Jamaica ginger is
sold in the Indian territory than in half
dozen states where whisky selling is
licensed.
Red ink is another favorite territory
tipple. This is not nickname for some
thing else. The ordinary red ink which
the bookstores of the states sell for writ
ing purposes is beverage in parts of
this country. The ink drinker of cult
waited tastes will buy bottles by the half
dozen at a time and swallow the con-
tents with relish. Essences which sell
elsewhere for favoring purposes are
drinks under this civilization. Anything
which has basis of alcohol is in demand
Intoxication is craved. and the stomach
of the Indian territory drinker does not
quarrel with the form in which it comes
Wood alcohol. accounted poison in most
parts of the country, is consumed in
considerable quantities. The peddlers
buy it in Oklahoma. dilute it with water
and sell it by the pint on this side of the
line.

OUR GIRLS STUDY FARMING.
The Farmer Will Have Something
New to Kick About.

Fifty girls are students of farming at
the college of agriculture, Minneapolis.
They take the complete course, the same
as the men. 1t seems strange that more
women do not turn to agriculture as a
trained pursuit. They already sustain
half the labors of farming in the house
keeping department, and it should offer
profitable vocation to capable women
placed in full charge. The course at
Minneapolis covers term of three years
with special instruction in housekeeping,
this taking the place of blacksmithing,
carpentery and military drill for men.
