Hi. plea For water.

me, but / held out and finally con-
WINGED them"
what was the discussion aboutT
cit was the old controversy. Some
body mentioned water, and Judge Nor

something that ought to be abolished.
The major argued for its use in moder-
alton, but the judge wouldn't have it.

gagged in applauding. | recalled to his
mind the glories of our naval heroes,
the men who are so proud of their

Cured the Curious youth.

Paving over the unclaimed mail Ia
a favorite amusement among a certain
set of idle youths" said hotel clerk
yesterday. "'Any letters for So-and-
sog they VIII ask, giving an imaginary
name, their object being apparently to
crafty idle curiosity by studying the
superscriptions and reading the post
ais. Last fall an idiot of that type re-
ceived a severe lesson here in this
house. He made the usual request,
giving rather a peculiar name, which
he afterward admitted he had thought
Of on the spur of the moment. BY re-
markable coincidence two central office
dett ives were standing near the desk
at the time, and the name he gave was
that of a noted crook who was wanted
by the police of Chicago very badly.
without word more than was nee
essary they took the young gentleman
by the arm and carried him off to po-
lice headquarters. He was so astonish-
ed that he was unable to make CO.
herent explanation and really present
ed picture of guilt. His story at head
quarters that he had asked for letters
under an assumed name was regarded
as so improbable that they held him
until telegraphic inquiries could be
made. OF course it turned out that he
was not the Chicago crook, but he got
the scare of his life, and you may rest
assured that he has dropped that form
Of amusement from his indulgences." p

ACnnxincing Answer.

There are many people who do not
care for libraries who pride themselves
on having ''only the books they read
about them, but the answer made by
distinguished scholar to one of those
persons very well illustrates how valu-
able is this idea as to what library
should be. The scholar was connected
with an institution of learning which
had been greatly helped by liberal
man of the neighborhood, but the Hber-
al man was not much of a sympathizer
with the idea of increasing the library.
When appealed to in the matter, he re.
piled:
"More books? Dear me, it seems to
me you've got more than you can read
now. Have you read all you have al
readyT
mo" returned the scholar, "and
never expect to read them all"
'Then why do you want more?"
..Let me ask you" said the scholar,
'did you ever read the dictionary
through"
Certainly not" was the reply.
"Well, sir" said the scholar, "a libra.
r. is my dictionary"
The answer was convincing, and the
merchant provided the professor with
the funds he wished for.-Pittsburg

Portland knocked Them.

Mays & Grove have just given $13,-
600 order for an entire new stock OF
hardware to replace the stock burned in
the big Dalles fire some months ago.
The event was notable one among
hardware travelling men and wholesale
houses, for the reason that it was the
occasion for general bidding by W wholesale
houses in Portland, st. Paul, st. Louis,
Duluth, Chicago. San Francisco and
Minneapolis. Travelling men gathered
there and schedules were submitted for
the whole amount of goods desired, $751;
600 in all. In the spirited contest waged
Portland won.
It was remarked by a Portland travel
ing man that it was a notable victory
for Portland. Inasmuch as the contract
was given for the stock purely because
better figures were offered by the Port
land house, and that it to some measure
demonstrates that the coast can compete
with all sections in the wholesale trade

Surveyors at Work.

GoLDENDALE, WASH, Feb. 4.-Pas-
sengers on the stage yesterday from
Grants Pass to Goldendale say they saw
surveyors working south from 'Colum-
bla Gap" down the canyon toward Co.
lumbus. Who the men were they did
not know. Paul M. Mohr, some years
back, had survey made from Columbus
to Goldendale, and the same was pro-
nounced practical for a railway line.
Should the present examination and sur
vey conform the former report, there is
no question but that a line constructed
from Columbus would reach the county
seat of klickitat county by twenty miles
less than any other route yet proposed.
Engineers of Paul F. Mohr reported that
there was little rockwork on the line as
they found it between Columbus and
Goldendale.
