NOBODY NOW saws Governor Tyler is
a discerning man, but, for all that, those
who don't dislike him, think it would
conduce to his own interest if he would
request Congressman Jones to make no
more speeches in his favor. Everybody
now knows that Senator Martin will be
reelected, and there is neither rhyme
nor reason in fighting against the in

very simple and unfailing. Draw a tumbler
of water from the tap at night, pat a piece of

MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 4. 1889

In REPLY TO a communication from
an ex-Mavor, the Gazette states mat, so
far as it knows, nobody connected
with it has any preference in respect
of any particular street Oh which the
contemplated improvements should De
commenced Everybody who takes
the slightest interest in Alexandra
would like, above all things, to have
all her streets improved, and if the
CITY were prosperous, and all her peo-
ple employed, none of them would OBJ
iect to being taxed for that purpose,
though, when she was in that condi-
,;on her. streets we're good enough for
those who lived here. But if, as it seems,
they are not good enough now, nobody
would object to the Improvement Of
anv of them, provided the property
owners thereon pay the expense; but
hundreds of thousands OF dollars will
be REQUIRED TO improve them, and be-
fore that work could be completed, 1t
goes without saying that the taxpayers
the value Of whose property is less
now than it was before, will have
GROWN tired OF the burden, and refuse
to submit to it any longer. Those on
the few streets that may have been
improved will not like to pay taxes for
the improvement OF other peoples
nroperty. and certainly those on the
streets that have not been, aud, in all
probability, will not be, will object to
being taxed for Improvements to
their streets that may never be
made. Alexandria managed to get
along we'll enough with her streets
when she was thrifty and
prosperous, commercial and manutac-
turing city, and she could we'll afford TO
do so a few years longer, during which,
it is hoped, ner affairs may be i'm
proved and her people be in better con-
dition to stand the expense. Her ex-
perience in street improvement since
the disastrous war between the States
has been anything else than favorable.

was killed, and at its close hurried back
to his old home and got there just il
time with his money to save his mis-
tress and her young son from being

SWIPED SOME
TERRITORY
Canadian Officials Said
to Have Changed
Boundary.

VICTORIA, B. c. March 2.-Miners
who have just arrived here on the
steamers Tees from the North say that
the Canadian officials on the Dalton
trail have seen fit to change the
boundary line to suit themselves
They have advanced a considerable
distance into American territory and
according to the story which has
reached here, have planted the British
flag within seven miles of Haines Mis-
sion, the entrepot to the Porcupine
district.
The point to which the Canadians
haye advanced will throw big area
of the recently discovered mines of
the Porcupine district into British
territory, If the new boundary is al
lowed so stand.
News is also brought by the Tees
that number of miners we're frozen
to death on the Atlin trail during q
terrible cold snap on Sunday and Mon
day week. The mercury fell to So be-
low, and no less than eight unfortun-
ates are said to have succumbed to the
cold. Their names could not be
learned. Several others were badly

A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT

such Was that Rendered at the Bald
win Tuesday.
1t is but seldom that we have the op-
portunity of hearing an entertainment
of such high order as the A. L. P. S..
concert at the Baldwin Tuesday even
ing.
An instrumental duet, an overture
by Boidlieu, by the Misses Nicholson,
was the opening number and that the
young ladies executed their part we'll
would be hard to dispute.
In the next number Messrs. Akers,
Lundell, Polling and Steele, the mem
bers of the Alps quartet, appeared for
the first time, and as their reputation
was well known to Dalles people, ap-
plause greeted them as they came
on the stage. When they concluded the
beautiful selection alag Without a
STAIN" the audience almost went wild
and insisted on another appearance be-
fore they would cease their applause.
The next number demonstrated that
the members of the A. L. p. S. could
hold their own as solo singers, as we'll
as in the quartet. When M. l.. Akers
appeared and rendered the beautiful
song because Love You Dear"
After another selection by the
quartet, Messrs. Akers and Lundell
appeared in a vocal duet "Love and
War" this like the other numbers was
we'll rendered and certainly merited
the outbursts of applause it received.
Miss Myrtle Michel had given her
consent to rende vocal solo, but
owing to sickness she was unable to
attend the concert.
In the next number the Alps de.
monstrated that genuine humor and
fun was not out of their line, as they
appeared with the A. L. P S. band,
consisting of two trombones a bugle
and hunters horn. AS an encore Mr..
Steele rendered a laughable trombone
solo.
The Harwood quintet, in which our
local talent appeared in the persons of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Reese, Miss Tillie
Liebe and Messrs. II. D. and Irwin
Parkins, rendered Bennet's selec-
tion "Love That is True" Mrs.

So Thick That 1t Trapped Even .
Hungry Coon.
The Little Rock Democrat is the au-
thority for the kind of corn lands they
:,ave in that particularly blessed region.
t says: Eight or ten years or so ago
here was a lake near Morrilton cover
iuG about 10000 acres. When the big
hoods came two years ago, an opening
vas made by the surging waters which
arried off all the water of this lake
when the floods subsided. The bed of
ie lake dried up and left the richest
oil the world ever saw. 1t is ten feet

reduced could excel it. This year Mills
!: HALEY have a crop of corn on about
600 acres of this land. They sowed
he corn broadcast like wheat, and the
stalks are as strong as saplings, and
;cores CT Shoots" are also loaded down.
1T is the most remarkable corn crop
ever produced in the world" declared
Prof. Cox. and, to make the story even
more interesting, he ended it by de-
claring that "coon" was caught be-
tween the stalks. and, being unable to
cxtricate itself because they were so
thick, was killed by those who came
upon it,.

PROUD OF HIS RECORD.

! He Fought Down the Symptoms OF
Genius.
81 suppose there is great dea. OF un'
! recognized genius in the world" re
marked the literary young woman.
"Yes, indeed" replied her father, as
/ be looked up from the trade paper;
'lots and lots of it. People are great
deal more sensible these days Than they
used to be-"
"You mean they are mere seIs:Sl:
because they have so much unrecog-
nized genius?'' she queried in surprise.
'That's it, precisely" Taking off his
glasses and balancing them On his fore
finger, he went on: Il remember when
I was a boy 1 had a great talent for
music. I could remember almost any
tune I ever heard, and play it on a
mouth-harp. And draw pictures
Many is the picture have drawn. So
hard is it to curb genius that lots of
times would find myself drawing pic
lures on my slate instead of doing my
arithmetic"
''How unfortunate that you couldn't
have cultivated your ialents!"
''Not bit of it; not bit of it. I was
peculiarly fortunate. The trouble
with too many geniuses is that they
don't have common sense. Now, was
different. I profted by my oppor-
tunities. You can't get common
school education without finding out
what is likely to happen to a man as
soon as the world picks him out as a
genius. Go right along through the
list of them. They are always selling
pictures or poems or musical compost
lions for less than the market value.
People somehow expect it of them. And
it's mighty seldom that one gets rich.
As soon as 1 discovered that had any
symptoms of genius, I fought them
down. l battled with myself and went
into the livery stable business. BY be-
ing cautious and attending to business
I arrived at position of comparative
independence, so that I can look con-
tentedly around me and feel that it
would not do any great harm now, even
If were recognized" = Washington

1t is remarkable the number OF
tramps who are in The Dalles at pres
ent begging for meal from private
families or begging individuals for
the price of one on the streets. The
vast majority of them are strong,
healthy men who could easily earn an
honest living were they to go into the
interior and secure work on the farms
during the spring. They are nul-
sance and should be given the shortest
possible time to gel out of town when
sighted by the authorities. Such beg
ging in the middle of winter is not so
bad, but when it comes to soliciting
assistance at this time of year when
employment can be had for the ask.
ing, it should not be permitted.

Grain is still in fair condition,
although little or no rain has fallen
