II is now said that Ringling's circus
will play at Milwaukee, a suburb Of
Portland, and escape with only nomi-
nal license, and they will give free car
fare to that place and will also parade
in Portland. This is the result Of the
Portland City Council putting a license
OF Sl2 900 day ON their show to pre-, ect
the Elks' Carnival. Many Portland
people express disgust at the action of
their city, and declare ~ fair

Mayor Bishop has been to the coast
and returned looking well and hearty.
While over at the beach he spent con-
siderable time in looking for curios. lie
visited the famous band Of "Kopje" In
dians and obtained manv pointers as to
where the most beautiful agates could
be found, and he spent many hours on
the beach looking for curios.
Among his collection is an ancient
Battle AK used by the famous band of
"Kopie" Indians, it is used for testing
the quality Of water, moss and ribbon
agates. This weapon was very valu-
able one and Mr.. Bishop can be congrat-
ulated upon obtaining it from the ia
nous Chief Glass on Face. lie has also
an assorted lot Of agates more or less
rare. He has number Of cloud agates
which were selected with great care.
Bracelets made Of this variety are very
beautiful and they are an invariable
cure for rheumatism and corns. He
brought over the largest water agate
found on Nye Creek this season, the
cavity contains less than a pint OF water.
The balance Of the collection contains
eye agates, moss agates etc. and are on
exhibition at the store for a few days.
This collection with the aggregation
Of wild animals that Finley Perrine will
capture, will make good start for a city

petitive contest, where merit alone
wins-especially when the con-

land, without local influences in
his behalf. Recently a competi-

and townsman Mr.. Edwin M.
Holt, a graduate of our peerless
graded school, that has sent out
SO many bright young women and
young men who have achieved
eminence, having just finished a
course of pharmancy in that city,
entered the contest for the ap-
pointment, and won the desirable
prize. In consequence, he has
received the appointment as Stew
ard Of the Q. S. Marine Hospital,
Chelsea, Boston, Mass. His
many friends here and through
out this section will indeed be
gratifed at his success.
