Not the Only Liar on the Boat.

Steamboat men, as a rule, are very
truthful. The reason for this is that
they are selected from the very best
families, early trained in Sunday school
to highly prize the truth, and conse-
quently lie is actually painful to them.
1t is no wonder, then, that their Gre
dulity is sometimes little strained, as
it was on the Dalles City few days ago
by Kansas man who said he was going
back to Kansas. He said:
Eyes, like this country. | like the
people and the climate"
"Then why do you want to go backP'
innocently asked an old lady near the
foot of the table.
"Well, bought a farm of Hood
River real estate dealer for $4,000-pig-
in-a-poke, sight unseen, as we used
to trade knives when | was boy"
"Wasn't the farm as represented
asked thin little man across the table
from the Kansas man. The captain by
this time was beginning to take lively
interest in the conversation and it was
noticed that his confidence in the strang-
er kept increasing as question afterques-
ton received respectful attention. He
had just finished telling some wonder
full wind stories on the Columbia river,
and he felt kind of uncomfortable.
However, the captain was the Identical
gamo the Kansan was after and he
eventually landed him, as the sequel
will show.

the Transfer & Livery Co.'S stable and

You can't get there with team, they
said. We'll, how can get there? Lew

you come to COW path. Follow that
across a canyon into some open woods
where it plays out. Then listen and
you will hear the chickens crow. Fol-
low the sound and you will come to a
clearing,
"Well, boys, my wife couldn't walk

her the way back to house and went
on. Pretty soon found | was lost and
it commenced to get dark"
By this time the captain was very
much interested and before he thought
he asked; "Well, did YOU find the
placer"
A wan smile fitted over the face OF
the funny man as he replied: "Oh, |
haven't come to that part OF the story
yet" +" and turning to gentleman on his
right he added, "Won't you talk to the
captain and amuse him till l go below
and wind myself up? | am all run
down."
But the captain didn't even wait to
finish his desert. He made straight
shoot for the pilot house, while the
Kansas man muttered: ~ couldn't let
him think he was the only liar on this
boat. ."-Skamania Pioneer.

The Potato is King in CIackamas.

The potato is king in Clackamas coun-
ty this year. About $l50,0O0 will be
realized from the potato acreage, and
yet shortage in yield was predicted
early in the season. The Clackamas
county potatoes never fail to-, yield, and
this years. product is as good as gold
coin in San Francisco, Texas or any other
place. Farmers are receiving checks in
big figures for.their spuds~-that, too, in
the poverty stricken season of the year.
Til Tucker on the Molalla, near Macks-
burg, sold his entire crop last week fol-
$l.30 per sack.
An opinion prevails to certain ex.
tent that potatoes will yet reach high
er figure. However, taking chances on
the market is something like stock gam.
bling. C.Kocher,o of Marks Prairie, was
once offered 81 per sack in the fall, and
before winter was over, sold the entire
lot for 40 cents. Potatoes will bring
more money into Clackamas county
than any one product, and yet the bus,
mess is only in its infancy in this section
The soil is adapted to their growth
and the tubers can be grown at a cost Of
not over 40 cents per sack.-Courier-

Agriculture in the Public Schools.

The grange is leading off in advocating
teaching of agriculture in the public
schools. The average boy and girl turn.
ed out Of public school and other schools
has more wants to crafty and more
needs to satisfy and more desires to rati
fy than he has ability to meet all the
rest OF has natural life. He has abil
ty to use tobacco, or she has taste fol-
bonbons and perfumed chewchews
Above all they want an easy position
at a salary. That is not the fault of the
schools but OF a defective system of so
ciety. Next to producing divorces mod.
ern society produces q divorce from la
bor, or the idea of ever earning money by
honest labor. Where are the BOYS
learning to be stone cutters, brick layers
plasterers, blacksmiths? The grange turns
to agriculture. A boy that could pillow
or harrow or cultivate we'll would al
ways be sure Of employment. If he
could plant and raise crop and NOT
wear out the land he would be worth
something II a boy or girl could
plant a patch Of strawberries and tend
it intelligently or raise flock of geese
or turkeys, or know how to graft an ap.
pie tree, or make a good garden, il
would be something this side Of the pool
farm.
So the grange idea is all right. Il
leads to labor. There is salvation in
labor and little without it. Johnny gets
out of school and begins hanging arounG
and running the streets with Jennie
They get married and then there are
little tow-heads to care for. But to produce
anything to feed, clotheor educate these
tow-heads of theirs is another question
They have learnedn no trade. They CAM
run COW, make garden, or do any
thing but consume, and must have Job
Who is to furnish employment for all
the educated people whose education
has not made them producers and has
taught them not to labor.-Salem Jour

Hood River Splash Dams.

Two splash dams, by which large
quantity Of water can be collected and
suddenly released, carrying many thou.
sand logs with il, have been built on the
Hood river this past summer, by the
lumber interests working in that coun-
try, and short description OF the meth
cd OF working them will doubtless be of
considerable interest.
One of these is known as the Winans
dam, and is located on the West Fork of
Hood river, about IA miles from the
town. 1t is so constructed that the wa
ter is collected and when a sufficient
body has been secured, the board or
gates which hold it are suddenly re-
leased and the body of logs below the
dam are carried down stream with
considerable velocity. This dam was
built by the Winans brothers at a cost
of %, 800.
The Lost Lake Lumber Company's dam
on the East Fork, about the same dis
tance from the town Of Hood River, is
used for the same purpose, but is worked
on an entirely different principle. In
stead of being opened by splash planks,
as is the case with the Winans dam,
balanced gates are used, the result, oi
course, being practically the same.
While the fruit interests of that sec
ton have done much TO give name to
Hood River, they lack thousands of dol
lars of equaling the revenues derived
from the vast bodies of timber tributary
to the Hood river. Lying in the valley
and on the slopes of the mountains are
over 200 square miles. of timber land
that will cut from $4,000 to 10000 feet
per acre or 1000, ,0O0feet, to the square
mile.
During the year 1901 there was ex-
ported from the mills of the Lost Lake
Lumber Company, the Davenport Bros.
and the Nicolai Company, $4,000, 900
feet of lumber worth 81 thousand, or a
total of $4,000. During the same
year there was cut 5000 cords of wood
worth$2, so cord or total of SIS, 900. Add
to this 81 500 for slab wood and there is
total of s235, 900 from timber alone.
With the advent of the splash dam
comes other interests which will add to
the renown of the valley. Since the
completion of their splash dam the Wi
mans Bros. have sent down the river 80,
600 cedar posts worth $1,000. When, to
this total, is added $S5, 900 for strawber-
ries, $4,000 from apples, 1880 from
fish, 5000 from dried prunes and the
output of the Davidson Cannery Com
pany, amounting to 10000, there is q
grand total Of $3S7 900 as an income for
last year.
Farm lands have jumped from 800 to
$3.50 per acre, and yet not one acre in q
hundred is under cultivation. Fruit and
berry lands will continue to increase in
valuation until the land will be worth
from 5000 to $1,000 an acre.-Portland

Case Of o. D. Taylor Settled at Last.

The harvest reaped by 0. D. Taylor in
the North Dalles and Grand Dalles town
site boom, is shown in detail in a writ
ten opinion filed by Judge Cleland yes
terday, in the suit of the Interstate I'M
provement Company against o. D. Tay-
lor, Sarah NJ. Taylor and the Interstate
Investment Company, to recover about
5000, 900 on account of lots and blocks
sold in these two wild cat towns.
Taylor was once minister, but he
proved himself an exception to the rule
that minister is not a good business
man, as he made things hum until his
scheme exploded. He went East, es-
tablished offices in Chicago, Cleveland,
Saginaw and other places, appointed
numerous agents, and money flowed in
to his Golfers freely. Taylor was arrested
at the instigation OF some persons who
were dissatisfied with his methods of
dealing. They alleged willful misrepre-
sentations, but he succeeded in beating the
case,
According to theopinion just rendered
by Judge Cleland, Taylor and his wife,
on July 5, 1890, sold to the Interstate
Investment Company large tract of
land in Khckitat county, Washington,
for $4,000, of which $4,000 was
paid in cash, and two notes for $50, 900
each, payable within 10 years, were ex-
ecuted in favor of Taylor, for the bal
ance of the purchase price. The land
is situated on the bank OF the Columbia
river, opposite The Dalles, and is most
ly barren and rocky. 1t was plated in
to lots and blocks, and Taylor, who be-
came a stockholder in the company, was
appointed agent to sell the lots for Is per
cent commission. The prospectus is
sued was alluring. It explained that
North Dal!es and Grand Dalles were to
be made great factory towns, employing
thousands of people. A picture Of q
magnificent bridge across the Columbia
river was shown with other things of an
attractive nature.
In March, 1891, so it is stated in the
findings of fact submitted to Judge Gle
land, the Interstate Improvement Com
pany was organized, with ]. F. Ellis as
president and Taylor as manager. Tne
new company, in April following, pur-
chased the property OF the old concern,
lot f7VOtVVVsslNlnk noJes IN payment.
Taylor became manager of the Interstate
Improvement Company, and entered
into contract TO sell The lots at 25 per
cent commission. He took one share of
stock for himself and held 5000 shares
as trustee for the Interstate Investment
Company. Taylor was 10 make an ae-
counting at stated periods OF his receipts
and expenditures, but instead of doing
50, he held the money, alleging that he
was entitled to do 50 because OF the two
notes aggregating tl0O, 900 which he held
against the Interstate Investment
Company, on account of the original
purchase from him OF the land.
Judge Clelsnd gives q statement Of the
business done by Taylor as follows:

EAT apples, apples, apples! !' say the
doctors. Eat at morning, noon and
night" The apple has more phosphoriC
acid in an easily digested shape than
any other fruit or vegetable, and is most
beneficial in its action on the liver, kid
neys and stomach. To eat apples just
before retiring is now considered the
best thing person can do-quite con-
trary to the old saying that "fruit in the
morning is golden, at noon silver, while
it turns to lead at night" Many, how

should be eaten at night with a sprink-

Obituary.


Pearl Vivian Hadley, daughter o.
Charles and Martha Hadley, was born
near Sylvania, Park county, Indiana
May s, 1888, died at Dayton, Oregon
January 8, 1902, aged Is years, 7 months
and % days. Deceased was kind
hearted and obedient girl, her chief aim
and desire in life seemed to be to love
and serve God and to make home and
friends happy; striving in every pos.
sible way to add to the comfort and ioy
of her parents. Always rreferring theil
happiness to her own. Early in life she
manifested disposition to consecrate
her entire life to the Masters service
and her brief earthly career was devoted
to His cause. Although model girl in
every way, she felt the need of being
"born Of Heaven" and about three
years ago she sought and found the Sav.
ior in the conversion of her soul. Al
the same time she united with the N. E.
church at Dayton, Oregon, and started
out in life that gave bright prospects
for future usefulness, being one of the
most devoted members of the church oil
her choice. She made the word of God
her constant study, ever longing to know
more about Jesus. Her affliction, which
lasted for nearly year, only drew hel
nearer to her blessed Redeemer. She
manifested a cheerful hope for recovery
until within aboutten days OF her death,
then when told that she could not get well
she said to her mother, "Do you really
think | cannot live?" Her love for home
and parents made her long for recovery,
but she calmly submitted to the Lords
will, saying, swell, mother, it is all
right,any way" From that time as
long as she was able to talk, her conver.
sation was of heaven. Even while suffer.
ing intensely her faith never wavered.
Her last appeals to those around her
was, Meet me in Heaven" Her favor.
lite him was;
"My heavenly home is bright and fair"
And she often asked to have it sung tor
her, herself joining in the singing as
long as her strength would permit.-C.
