Consul Formerly Newspaper Man.

Major Edwards of North Dakota,
who has just been appointed consul
general at Montreal, erected in Fargo
what was then-and perhaps now
the tallest building west of Chicago.
He was then owner of a newspaper,
but was not sufficiently wealthy to
meet his weekly payroll, so he used
to swap checks with a friend who had
a good bank account. The friend final
ly grew tired and said to the major:
why don't you put a roof on that
building, Edwards? It's high enough
now" Cant do it," was the reply.
Fact is l have contracted to pay for
the whole thing when the building is
rooted in" The major eventually
made arrangements which enabled
him to put the roof on.

Logic.

There is apparently a gener.
al need of better training in the
principles of logic. st. Louis
World. There is a suggestion,
idea or statement. to solve.
Even the ministers IF the Cos
pei have almost ceased to be
logicians or theologians.
How many speakers, let their
topic be what it may, will lay
down Il proposition and reason
from cause to effect? How
many dare to reason from cause
to effect and even attempt TO
show; if the cause is just. if it
is correct, the effect or result
must of necessity be correct or
just?
Logic means reason, reason
means knowledge; how few use
it? At this age of the world
disputation means low flung
personalities and not reason,
For the last statement aud its
correctness, we would refer you
to the first three political or
religious papers you read.

MAKING A FULL COUNT.
Example of Sartorial Rivalry Among
the Dear Girls.


the Dear Girls.
In one of the hotels along the Amer
lean Riviera" a girl arrived one day
recently who was a pronounced exam
pie of all that is obnoxious in the new
rich" She had been telling group of
girls, one of whom was the daughter
of a Ihulti-millionaire, of the number
of frocks she had with her. She was
OILY staying there for three days, yet
she had "twenty-six frocks in her
trunks"
The daughter of the multi-millionaire
is known for her inclination to dress
simply at all times in spite of her abil-
ity to do otherwise. So she puckered
her forehead, looked as if she were
doing sum in addition, and then re-
marked sweetly:
Il think have as many as that-if
l count my night gowns"

ELEVEN DROWNED
Bad Luck for Sheep Expedition in Al
sea-Boat Went Under.

An ill-fated attempt at boating
sheep was made in Alsea last week.
G. c. Peek had twenty or thirty
head running in the vicinity of
the Vidito place, and during the
snowy weather determined to move
them to his own farm, mile and a
half down the A1sea river. It was
decided to take them down the riv-
er in fiat boat. Thomas Slate
was employed as assistant.
A dozen of the sheep with their
legs tied were put in the scow and
five more, similarly bound were
laid in skif. The boats were
showed off, with Peek in the skif
and Slate on board the scow. A
hundred and fifty yards down the
stream, there was drift. That is
where the scow headed for. When
it struck, it went bottom side up
and disappeared, carrying eleven of
the animals down to a watery grave.
Slate escaped by 1eaping from boat
to drift at the critical moment.

NO OTHER EXPECTED.

1t is given out from Washington
that the only antitrust legislation
10 be expected from this congress is
the passage of the Elkin's bill. Elk
ms in the role of regulator of the
trusts is a mammoth joke, His cura-
tive for trust evils is about as efec-
tive as catnip tea In yellow fever
epidemic. His measure provides for
nothing not already covered in the
interstate commerce act. 1t does
not in fact provide such severe pen
a1ties for the giving Of rebates by
railroads as does. the present law.
1t entirely abolishes Imprisonment
for such ofenses and makes fines
the only punishment.
Who is verdant enough to be-
lieve that.a rebate system of which
it may be truly said that there
are millions in it, could be broken
up by an occasional prosecution,
and a fine Of mot more than $780,
ooos-even if a conviction were
ever obtained and sustained by the
highest court, thing that has
never yet happened?

A Carload of Immigrants to Leave
Nebraska on the Nineteenth.

A carload of immigrants is to
leave Nebraska, on the 10Th
inst for Webfoot. Most of them
come from the vicinity of Laurel,
Nebraska, and nearly all are old
acquaintance and friends of B. J..
Evers, who came to Corvallis from
the former place nearly a year ago
Thirty persons are-to be passeng-
ers on the car, and the destination
is Albany, from whehce the new
arrivals will scatter in all direc-
tons. Mr.. Evers has already rent
ed a house in Corvallis for one of
the coming families.
The low rates of last year. $25
from Omaha to Portland, will be
available to the newcomers. AS the
same rate is to be in vogue for
sometime it is expected that arrivals
of homeseekers will be numerous
during the coming months.

of the latter events occurred at the
