Northwest.
Portland is soon to have big stove
foundry, says the Te.egram
For some time F. W. sherwood. who
represents the Bridge & Beach Com
pany, of St. Louis, and ,Cribhen, Sex
ton Company, of Chicago, here, has
been at work on the scheme. The one
great obstacle has been the fact that
the state OF Oregon is in the stove
business, using convict labor entirely.
Mr.. Isherwood's people thought It a
hard proposition to enter the field
paying union prices with such a COM
petitor in the field. The legislature
however, has refused to remedy the
matter, and they have decided to go
ahead and put in plant here.
A site has been bonded near the
Union stockyards. The plans that
have been drawn provide for several
buildings, which will cost nearly $780,
600. The foundry when operating on
full time will employ $3.50 hands, and
turn out great quantity of stoves,
especially adapted to the needs of the
Northwest.
The pig iron to be used in mauufac-
turing the stoves can be bought
around the Horn at very low rate.
Coke can be had in Washington, and
moulding sand in abundance is found
all along the Willamette.
Mr.. sherwood expects to leave for
the east April 16. While away he
hopes to complete all of the details
and begin work upon his return. 1t
will take some time to erect the plant,
but by next winter, if nothing unfore-
seen occurs. the stove foundry will be
going at full blast in Portland turning
out all kinds of cook stoves, ranges
and heaters that are needed in this
part of the country.

Good Bowling.

Wednesday evening there was anoth-
er friendly bowling contest between
the lady and gentlemen teams of the
D. G. & A. C. in which each team won
two games. The gentlemen having
made the most pins were accredited
the honor of winning the tournament.
The ladies we're given a handicap of 81
pins, which gave them a majority of
pins in the first two games. Miss
Alma Schanno in the hrst game
made the remarkable score of 20 pins.
The individual scores were as follows:

contemplated in the bill. The prospect
is certainly encouraging. the way seems
clear, and there is no apparent reason
why the bin should not become a law
Some sort of action is necessary in
order TO hold the grant already made
and to take advantage of the liberality
Of the government, which is willing, as
Senator Rawlins believes, to convey to
the state another slice off the reserva-
ton of equal value and size to the pres
ent tract. But the first will be lost and
the second will not be realized if per-
manent improvements are not begun
within the next few years.
According to the opinions of real ess-
tate men of the city the new site is
worth probably 100000. 1t is too val
liable TO lose. and the assurances that
it Will be doubled when permanent inn
provements are erected clothes the
proposition contained in the bill with

THE DREAMSRIP.

When the world is fast asleep.
Along the midnight skies
As though it were a wandering cloud
The ghostiy dream-ship flies.
An angel stands at the dreamship's helm
An angel stands at the PROV,
And an angel stands at the dream-ship's
side
With a rue-wreath on her brow.
The other angels, silver-crowned,
Pilot and nelmsman are,
And the angel with the wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams they fall on rich and poor;
They fall on young and old
And some are dreams of poverty
And some are dreams of gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with joy,
And some that melt to tears;
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some Of the old dead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old,
Bringing to slumberlng earth their joys
And sOrrowS manifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall be a beggarman-
The pauper be a king
In that revenge or recompense
The dream-ship dreams do bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for ali and me-
And there is never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies
As though it We're a cloud astray-
The ShoStly dream-ship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are
And an angel with wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.

NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY.

A bill has been introduced into the
state legislature providing for the es-
! adjustment Of a state university on the
/ site selected by the state, approved by
the city and granted by congress for
/ that purpose. It is a wise measure,
and it ought to pass.
The University Of Utah has out
grown its pioneer quarters, and terri
torial expansion in its present location
is out OF the question.
IF this institution would grow as rap
idly as the demands upon it are in
creasing, it must have elbow room. To
make the necessary change, to meet the
requirements of the day and fulfill the
conditions of the government grant, an
expenditure Of money is unavoidable
But the end viii justify the means, in
this instance, especially as the means
are within the easy reach and the end
is most desirable.
1t may take 100000 to prepare the
reservation site east of the city to erect
sufficient buildings for immediate use,
and to remove the university, but the
best judgment Of business men seems
to be that any further outlay on the
present site is money wasted.
The state board Of land commission
ers reports that the proceeds from the
sale Of university lands TO date amount
to $125,44O. and from those Of the school
Of mines SAB.
Interest to the amount Of $19.98O has
accumulated on investments made for
the benefit Of the institution.
OF this total of S145,S63 the sum Of
S94,O25 has been invested in govern
ment, city and school bonds, while s24.-
01O is held in mortgage loans.
There is a cash balance on hand Of
S27,S2S. To this may be added United
States bonds and accumulated premi-
ums thereon. SS7. 800, showing an avail
able fund on hand Of S65, 62S. This viii
go a long ways towards establishing the
university upon its new site. Then the
old buildings and the old site should
be converted into cash or exchanged
for its equivalent.
The board of land commissioners
within sixty or ninety days can easily
convert into cash land and assets ag-

ANOTHER PARIS RIOT.

Among the dispatches printed this
morning is one from Paris, which indi-
Gates that the embers of the old strife
need but little tanning to cause them
TO burst forth in a blaze of civil war.
During a performance at the Nou-
vean theatre, passages commendatory
of the royalists were loudly and re-
peatedly applauded by the Bonapart-
lists, of which party the audience
seemed to have been largely composed.
At the conclusion of the play a tri-
colored flag, surmounted by an i'm
perial eagle, was hoisted. which the
adherents of the pretender rallied with
shouts of ''Vive rempereur" Believers
in the republican government resented
the so-called treason, the inevitable en-
counter took place, blows were ex-
changed, and French enthusiasm found
its vent.
The party that favors a change in
France is taking advantage of every
disturbance and of late is growing
bold, as this riot in the Paris theatre
indicates. In Belgium are two inter
SSbGO Spectators, tue LUZ u OIlednS
and Prince Victor Napoleon, who are
closely watching events in Paris, and
diligently making ready to seize the
long-desired opportunity to re-estab-
lish each his dynasty.
OF the two pretenders. Prince Victor
is the shrewder and better advised.
and has the prestige of the Bona
parties behind him. 1t is a better
weapon in d plebiscite than that of
the house Of Orleans, and if there is
no very high opinion among French
men of Prince Victor he is more es-
teemed than his somewhat silly rival
Commenting upon published inter
view with the prince, the London Daily
Telegraph said recently:
Prince Victor seems to have gained
the sympathy of all in Brussels, where
his quiet reserve and weil-balanced
mind have won him many admirers
and still more friends. All who know
him well speak most highly of his
erudition, his kind heart, his noble SEN
timents.''
1t may be the hope as we'll as the i'm
preston among Englishmen that the
pretender is anxious for a chance to
push to the front. Another London
predicts a revolution in
France in the very near future, and
says: 1T is not surprising that both /
royalist and imperialist should believe |
their long-awaited hour has struck"

WESTERN ENTERPRISE.

Los Angeles is one of the most beau
tiful and at the same time one of the
most enterprising cities in the world.
by a direct railroad it will be OF infinite
benefit to both municipalities and the
sections surrounding them.
Los Angeles has just completed the
longest power transmission system in
the world. This is cited as an evidence
of the thrift and enterprise of southern
California. The power is developed at
the head of the Santa Ana, eighty
miles away, and is conveyed by under
ground wires into the city. The outlay
represents years of time and an i'm
mense amount of money. but the pro-
motors have all faith in the future Of
Los Angeles and confidence in the pub
lie spirit Of her people.
But Montana enterprise and push
are not to be outdone. With the OPEN
ing of spring, it is said, the power de-
veloped from the great Missouri dam
near Helena viii be transmitted to
Butte and in all directions to the vari-
Gus mining camps of that part of the
great ore producing state Of the north
It is confidently believed that cleo
tricity viii revolutionize the mining
industry. Its direct application to the
treatment of ores, as well as it's force
in driving machinery, may be counted
upon when genius turns its attention
to the mines as it has to the utilization
of electricity in other fields.
The most complete electrical plant in
this country, possibly. is that at Mag
ara falls. But the west has yet the
longest system, at Los Angeles, and
viii have the most extensive in every
way when the network of wires from
Canyon Ferry, near Helena, IhaH have
been extended in every direction from
the site.
The capital'and avarice of the east is
fairly well matched, at least in spots,
BY the enterprise and resources of the
west.

FENCING AND LIVE STOCK.

a PaysOn correspondent complains of
the existing estray law. He says that,
while the law regards any person who
enters the field or goes upon the farm
! OF another and wrongfully takes prop
/ erty therefrom, as q law-breaker, it
/ permits him to turn stock out to over
run fields and destroy crops without
! let or hinderance."
As it is just as detrimental to an
owner to have his property destroyed
as it is to have it carried away, the
correspondent thinks a law should be
enacted requiring the owners of live
stock TO keep them up or be liable TO
prosecution at the expense Of the pub
lie. he believes that the owners Of
sheep and hogs, rather than the owner
of the fields, should be compelled to do
the fencing, and he wants the matter
laid before the legislature.
IN section 20 of the code it is pro-
vlded that any live stock trespassing
or doing any damage upon the premi-
SEES Of any person, the owner OF such
stock is liable for the amount OF dam
age done, except in cases where such
premises are not enclosed by a lawful
fence" in counties which require fenc-
ing.
Each county is allowed to make its
own fencing regulations, for the reason
that different conditions exist in diff
ferent counties of the state. If the
rules adopted by the commissioners of
Utah county do not suit the Payson
complainant he should lay the case be
fore them.
But q law requiring every stock
owner to restrain his stock within his
own land would be impracticable in a
grazing region. and is not considered
applicable to the sparsely settled por-
tons of the west"
Not only is this the common sense /
view taken by legislators generally, but |
it is upheld by decisions of the United /
States supreme court.
