WANTED TO DO BUSINESS.

j.. Watt Hogue, who writes poetry when
the mood strikes him, and who is engaged
in the prosaic business of selling ewing
machines and secondhand goods, thinks
money is to be made in the saloon and
gambling business. He is tired of selling
sewing machines, as the business does not
allow his artistic tendencies full scope.
He called at the office of the city clerk
this morning and presented a formal,
written application to the city clerk for
a license to do a saloon and gambling
business in the corner of the postotfice
building now occupied as a newsstand.
He also wanted to rent the corner of the
building from the city council.
The clerk endeavored to explain to him
that the city did not own the postoffice
building, but Hogue insisted that he was
on the right track and did not propose
to recede from his position.
After much parleying he was finally in
duced to make his application to the
federal government.

BATHING IN
ANCIENT TIMES

Bathing in olden times was considered
a great source of amusement and recrea-
ton. Some of the finest bathing resorts
of all ages was built in those days. The
famous Turkish baths of Rome are the
same as those of the present time. The
process of heating the body to an extreme
degree of heat so as to open all the pores
of the skin and throw off dead matter is
considered the most beneficial part of a
bath. Next came the rubbing of the
body, causing the skin to become soft and
flexible, and removing all aches and
pains; this with the cold shower oath
afterwards and a rest of an hour or two,
in a room of proper temperature prepared
the patient, who might be sick or well,
for excessive work of any kind; in fact it
braces and builds up the system if taken
at proper intervals. The baths of today
are similar to those of old and will pro-
duce the same good effects. Amos Turk
ish baths are to be foundu under Hight &
Fairfield's, orner of Main and Broad
Way.

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

Davis & Busby's company opened a
weeks engagement at the Union theater
last night, playing to nearly the capacity
of the house. The play was that n
purely American play, which will never
grow old, Uncle Toms Cabin" This
is a fair all around aggrega-
ton, and while none can be classed as
stars, they give a most pleasing por-
trayal of the respective roles.
But the star of the company is without
doubt little Ruth Reynolds, the Eva. h
is just the ideal Eva, a dainty, beautiful
blonde, a mere baby. handkerchief
were freely displayed during the death
scene and the last scene with her father.
Between acts she came out and sang
shes the Warmest Baby IN the Bunch,'
and, for an encore, Il Wonder Why The
little one is an orphan and was first put
on the stage in Pittsburg five months ago.
She alone is worth the price Of admis-
sion.
The band carried Is a fine one, and they
appear for the opening overture on the
stage. The solo in the overture by the
slide trombon was a gem. Professor u.
E. Nickerson, the leader of the band, gave
a cornet solo which marked him as9a
first-claSs cOrneter. For an encore he
gave Alice, Where Art Thou?" using the
mute on the refrain. His triple-tonguing
was especially fine. He will be remen-
bered as the leader of the Black Hussar
band, which toured the country some
seven years ago. He was organizer also,
and received a continual ovation. He
wears several fine medals The Conner
Sisters sal a doll song and that Just
One Girl" which has been sung o the
limit here. They make a cute little team,
though. Then a gentleman, whose name
was not down, sang another song which
should really be relegated to the realms
of the tabooed, 'She Was Bred in Old
Kentucky" For an encore he sang III
= Only Could Blot Out the Past" He
has a pleasing voice and should be on the
programme. The piece is to run tbs
week, with Saturday and Sunday matt
nees. 1t is well worth seeing.

miles of water. No part of this grand
est body OF water in all Gods creation
is more beautiful than that along the
coasts OF California, Oregon and
Washington; and no more staunchly-
built and superbly-equipped steam
ships than those of the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation Company plow
their way through its liquid sapphire.
The steamship Columbia, which is a
type OF the line, ia constructed with
every. device that human ingenuity
can suggest for absolute safety. She
has just been virtually rebuilt and is
new and perfect in every detail. She
lie sS4 feet long, 40 feet wide and %
feet deep, with a tonnage of nearly
5000. She has the latest and most
improved engines, with 1900 horse
power, steam steering apparatus and
electric lights and bells. Her saloons
are spacious and elegantly furnished
and her state rooms, bath rooms and
toilet rooms include every latest ap-
pliance Of comfort and luxury. Her
table is supplied with everything the
most epicurean taste can ask. She
has ample and luxurious accommoda-
tions for nearly 200 flrat-class pas
sengers and the same number in her
second-cIas quarters. She carries
seven life-boats, ak large life-rafts
and life-preservers enough to float an
army In case of accldent--but no &C.
cident has ever occurred on the line
In ell the years. She is altogether a
splendid vessel for o glorious voyage
and no more glorious voyage can
be imagined. 1t is 765 miles from
Portland to San Francisco and the
actual running time Of the steamers
Of the o. R. & Company is about fifty
hours.
1t is hard to tell whether travel by
water is more pleasant than by land
or not; both have their pleasures, but
that by water is more restfuI and Is
highly enjoyed by one who is worn

meets with the universal approval Of
the community.
After the organization OF the board
Its fret duty will be the location Of
this institution. The tract Of land TO
be selected by the board shall contain
not less than 500 acres at cost not
TO exceed the sum Of e2o, 600. The
sum of e75,000 was appropriated by

poses Of this institution $40, 900 to
be devoted to the payment OF the land;
$4,000 for the erection Of buildings
and appurtenances and el5, 1000 for the

essarIly confined to the appropriation
made by the Legislature but may take

tion OF the colony. The Board is well
diffused over the State and II Is
known that Springfield, 81. Joseph
and Kansas City are candidates for
It's location. Marshall doubtless will
be a contestant as well as Mexico

ontsr the contest. II is an Institution
that win be Of great value TO the
