There Is no reason why a drome.
dairy should not be partial to a good
cigar. Most dromedaries, according
to a menagerie proprietor, are par.
ticularly fond of tobacco smoke and
can be made to do almost anything
under its influence.
Travellers in Egypt" he asserts,
rely more on tobacco smoke for
their control over the huge beasts
than anything else. When travelling
on long journeys the dromedaries are
in many cases required to travel night
and day without rest, and the beasts
are kept up to their tasks by smoking
cigars. The driver carries a trian.
gular piece of wood, which is pierced
at one point like a cigar holder. This
is inserted in the mouth of the beast,
the cigar being lit and pressed into

DRILLING FOR

Favorable Indications Of Pc
trOleum Found Near
It. John

Portland, Or, April 1S.-S. l. Og'
cen, who has been boring for petro.
leum on his farm a short distance
north of st. John since last August,
is confident that he will strike what he
is searching for in the next 600 feet.
The well is now down $50 feet, and
was being drilled at the rate of about
~ feet a day until the rise of the
water compelled temporary suspen'
sion of work.
There is abundant surface indica.
ton of oil all about the well. A stick
pushed into the earth would result in
oil appearing in the hole and bubbling
up from the bottom. Mr.. Ogden has
bought a ~well-equipped drilling ma
chine, capable of drilling 1900 feet,
which, with cables, cost about $2500
prd is drilling a well six inches in d.
ameter. AS the depth has increased
oil Is obtained from the bucket"
with which the we'll is cleared of ma
terial. The oil runs out with the
water and saturates the wood work
around the well, and the material
taken from the bottom contains oil.
AS soon as the water recedes the
work will be resumed and continued
until 1t is settled whether there is pc.
troleum to be had some 1900 feet
down. "Some day l shall send word
to Portland that we have a gusher
down here, and then there will be
some excitement, won't there?" ex.
claimed Mr.. Ogden, hopefully.

been taken there through the interest
of Mrs. Mclean, wealthy woman
resident IN the town who saw Mr.
Girardin' ; recent exhibit in Cincin-
natl After their exhibit there they
will probably be taken to the Arts
Club of Cleveland for display.
This column last week mentioned
the exhibition of pictures by the Rich
mond Artists at Herman's i'll IiGi-
annapolis and has received m an
nouncement from Mr.. Herman con
corning this exhibition. AS stated
here the exhibition consists chiefly of
oils by Girardin, water colors and oils
by Bundy, with three oils by Mr.. Con-
nor, and doubtless will make an eff
fective display. The Indianapolis pa
pers gave it considerable space and
spoke most enthusiastically of the work
Of these painters.
Some weeks since reference was
made here to the display of water col
ors by the japanese artist, Nakagawa,
at the Heron Art Institute, Indiana
polls, these pictures having been pre-
viously seen at Detroit. Toledo and
Columbus. While the paintings were
on exhibit in Toledo the writer re
ceived communications from the Di-
rector Of the Art Museum IN Toledo,
who is directing Mr. Nakagawa s
itinerary, asking if. the collection
could not be brought to this city after
leaving Indianapolis, but as The
Sketch Club had other engagements

successful exhibit of japanese OBJ

letter received by the writer from
Mr.. Nakagawa this week informs her
that his collection will probably be

lures give no particular idea of Jap

accomplishing in that most advanced
country Of the Orient. In motif,

betrays the Eastern. Viewed as wa

who came to this country in October,
as referred to here some weeks since,
writes a quaint idiom having fond

BIG STEAMERS PROMISED.

The rumor that the magnificent At

jestic, will be transferred to this ocean
route to take the place of the three
crack ships of the Maru line, comes
from a responsible source.
That such big vessels are needed

of the Ameriean-Oriental business of
the North Pacific.
If they are put on, Jim Hfll's North

Territorial expenditure for 1862 was

Territorial expenditure for 1853 was
s49s. 600 in excess of the revenue.
At the present rate of expenditure

more than 100000 besides an indebted
ness carried over from last year Of
nearly $4,000.
AS showing the kind of intelligent aid
In any scheme of economy to be expected
of the present legislature, bear in mind
that the Eighteen Months law carries
appropriations of $4.6Oo,O0O against an
estimated revenue of s3.064,0O0.
That revenue is raised out of the peo-
pie in one way or another, the bulk by
taxation, little from the lease and sale
of lands. The people protest that it is
too much. Unanimously they demand
lower taxation.
Think of $4,000 people, the majority
of whom have nothing but poll taxes
to pay, being called upon for $1,000. 600
in eighteen months!
Where are we going to get off? In
the direction of county and municipal
government with more taxes or of a
simpler form of organic government
with fewer taxes?
