The smile had faded when he saw

NEW LINE TO SOUTH AFRICA.
Monthly Service to Be Established Out
of the Columbia.

A regular steamship service is to be
established at once between the Column
bia and South Africa AS near as can
be ascertained at this time it will be
practically a monthly service. 1t is
believed that the hackers of the propo-
sition are Alfred Holt & Co. of London,
owners of the China Mutual line and
the ocean Steamship Company, who
have freighters plying between many
of the leading ports in the world.
Word concerning the establishment
of the new line has been received by
the Portland-Asiatic company, which
was asked to quote freight rates on its
steamers from Portland to Hongkong.
The information was also given that
a line of steamers would be in opera
ton soon between Hongkong and
South African ports, and that by the
steamers running out of here making
connections with them 1t would be pos
sible for Portland shippers to send
freight clear through to the dark conti-
nent about once every month.
The name of the new company is be-
ing withheld for the present, but it
is the prevailing opinion that it is the
big London concern mentioned above.
1t is said that at least three or four
steamers will be put on the new run.
Heretofore there has been no regular
service between the Columbia and
South Africa. An occasional cargo |
has been sent there on a tramp steam
er, but the greatest part of the ship
ments have been handled almost ex-
clusively by sailing vessels. AS a re-
suit 1t has been impossible to send
small consignments of freight to that
section of the world orders for limited
quantities of salmon and other goods
are frequently received, which have
been turned down for the reason that
there were no means by which they
could be gotten to their destination It
will now be possible to fill all small
orders that are received, and as a re-
suit it is believed that a thriving ex-
port trade will follow in the new chan
mel which has been created.

A Pen Sketch of Peary.

Commander Robert E. Peary, who
announces his intention of again un-
dertaking hunt for the north pole, is
tall, straight, muscular and 1.-THE. He
has a long bony face, straight nose,
well-defined jaws and square chin. His
eyes are deep set, large and gray. He
has a long, tawny moustache and, for
a young man, unusually bush eye
brows. At one moment one might
take him for lean, sinewy Scotch
Highlander; at another moment he
has the appearance of a Norseman
His face is intelligent, rather heroic,
and occasionally, when he grows earn
est, is gaunt. He has long legs and
long arms, and as a rule he is a man
of very serious bearing, with a touch
of courtliness. He impresses one for
the most part as a cold -bloded engi-
neer; but engaged upon the subject
that is next to his heart, he is almost
sure to break out into a boyish enthu-
siasm, and then, behind all talk of
and photography, is re-
vealed the pure adventurer with the
love of glory glowing in his soul. In
the parlor of his simple little wood
embowered cottage in Washington,
says Outing, are lovingly treasured
bits Of meteorite ore, wooden models
Of Eskimo images, the skin of a white
polar bear, and a stuffed baby seal,
also white; and If his interest is
aroused in visitor he may display the
touch of good fellowship by serving a |
glass of wine that has been in the polar
circle, and cigar that aged on the
shore of the central polar sea.

Great Style by Ohio.

1t long ago came to the notice OF the
senate officials that every state in the
union has its own individual style fol
credentials to United States senators
In beautiful execution and display OF
exquisite crimson ribbon Ohio sur
passes them all.
A few weeks ago the credentials of
the late Senator Hanna arrived and
were presented in due form by Senator
Foraker. They were bound within the
most costly morocco, and the boards
that inclosed the parchment, white and
pure as the driven snow, were tied
with ribbons. Not long afterward an
exact duplicate of those credentials
was presented again by Senator For
aker, but this time in behalf of SEN
ator Dicks credentials were made in
teresting than those Of Senator Hanna,
because they were for exactly seven
years service. Senator Dick has one
year to serve before the regular six
year term begins.
Senator Foraker occupied himself
several minutes untying the beautiful
inspecting the parchment, and
-ying the ribbins again. The creden-
,ials were eventually read by the clerk
md placed on file.

Registers Office to Stay on Fees.

District Atty. Brown gave an
opinion to the county board at it's
evening session Thursday that the
resolution passed by that body last
year changing the compensation of
the register of deeds from a fee
basis to a salaried one was of not
sufficient scope to cover the law by
which such change could be made,
was therefore of no account what
ever and that it could in no way
effect Register of Deeds Gunderson
during the two years he has re-
Gently been rejected to hold.
The resolution passed last year
was all right IN SO far as it went but
it faile to prescribe various points
which the law deems must be cited.
If it is the sense of the board
that the office should be placed on
salaried basis resolution drawn
to cover the ground completely will
probably be passed at the next ses-
sion of the board to take effect when
Mr.. Gunderson's successor takes
charge of the Office.

Rural Delivery Rules.

The attention of all readers of
this paper who benefit by the rural
mail service is called to the follow
ing instructions, promulgated by
the first Observation-Disclosures general,
as to rural free delivery. If these
rules are followed. 1t will save much
unnecessary Inconvenience to the
carriers and promote the efficiency
of the service:
Each box must be erected by the
roadside, so that the carrier can
easily obtain access to it. without
dismounting from his vehicle. The
same box must not be used for
more than one family, except in
case of near relatives or those resid-
ing in the same house.
Persons neglecting or refusing to
comply with these conditions will
be regarded as not desiring rural
free delivery and the rural carrier
will be directed not to serve them.
The patrons are expected to meet
the department half way, by afford
ing the carrier every facility for the
performance of their duties, by
keeping the roads open after heavy
snow falls and by using their in
fiuence with the proper authorities
to maintain them in good repair at
all seasons of the year and under all
sorts of weather conditions.
