AGAINST THE PORTAGE.
Union County Grange Asks for the
Repeal of the Portage Bill.

La Grande, Dec. 12.-At a meeting
Of Blue Mountain Grange. held in
Grange hall. near this city, on last
Saturday evening, the following reso-
luton WAS adopted:
Resolved, by Blue Mountain Grange
No. 545, Union county, Oregon, That
we are opposed to the state of Oregon
ncurriRg the expense of building the
portage railroad at the dalles of the
Columbia river for the reason that
we do not believe that the benefits
to be derived by such building will
justify the heavy expenditure neces-
sary to build the same.
In fact we entertain very grave
doubts whether said road will be of
any practical benefit to the region of
country which 1t is expected to serve.
We believe thai the ship canal which
the federal government proposes to
build is the only means of material
Improvement in transportation facili-
ties for the country interested I'm said
Improvement.
Therefore we recommend that the
oregon Legislature. at its next session,
repeal the act appropriating s16b,0 900
for said portage railway.

Clock Runs 1000 Years.

The Hon. Richard Strut of Lon
don. England. has made a radium
clock, which will go for Ze00 years
without winding.
In this clock small piece of gold
leaf is electrified by means Of a small
quantity of radium salt. II bends
away from the substance and keeps
moving until It touches the side of the
vessel. BY the contact IL loses its
electrical charge, springs back and is
electrified again. The repetition of
this process is the whole secret. and
Sir William Ramsay thinks II might
go on. barring accidents, for a couple
Of thoustnd years.
Asked If 1t could be made a reliable
timepiece. Sir William answered:
Yes, so far as the principle is con-
cerned. Unless It stuck at some time
II would go on and on, and could be
regulated to move the hands on a
clock face"
Sir William did not think such a
clock would be a very expensive lux
ury. It ought TO be possible to make
one for about $1,000. he thought

Adulterated Whisky.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


What's this? The whisky that we uay
Is cents a drink for over glded bars is
neither rye. corn nor good John Barley
cCrn but fusel oil and creosote chemically
treated? That is what a doctor who has
been Analysing the stuff for the board of
port which will curl the hair of the habitual
drinkers and make prohibition advocates
happy for year. The statement is a blow,
especially to those men who wish to drink
with the least damage to their wits and
their digestion. Such men have been ad-
dicted to whisky straight in place of mixed
drinks whose names. at least, are seduc-
tive. At public dinners you can see them
surrounded by empty wine glasses while
a syphon Oe settler and half-emptied boz
tie of Scotch in front of them proclaim
their adhesion to the warning against mix
Ing drinks. And now the doctors say that
the basis of this high-prlced Scotch is a
cheap grade of American rye to which
color and flavor are given by chemical
aids. How are the mighty fallen, man
might just as well drink cocktails, into
which the bartender puts the concealng
naVors before your eyes. Evidently Bishop
Potter's saloon for the sale of pure LIQUORS
did not come any too soon. The next thing
will be chemical test before your eyes of
the liquor you are expected to pay for
are just as badly adulterated and just as
unwholesome but the prohibition advocates
will be so busy spreading the horrors Of
creosote and fusel oil that they NAV not

To Appease Distrust in Normandy.

From the Booklovers Magazine.
The greatest obstacle to agreeable pedes.
trianism in Normandy is the proverbial
Norman distrust. The Norman's distrust
of the stranger takes the form of a comical
sort of terror of being financially duped-
cheated or swindled. not to say robbed
probably because he is himself perpetuaIly
engaged in financial dipping.
If the tramper does not succeed in disarr,.
ing, by one means or another Norman dis.
trust. his tramping life in Normandy Will
be made burden to HIM. Norman distrust
can be disarmed. but II cannot he dsarmed
in an instant. rAmericalne. 1t takes time
to do 1.-THE Norman is the last person IN
the world to stand and deliver-and there
is no social device to be mentioned in the
same breath with drinking for courteouslY
consuming time.
If the tramper asks simple question at q
, farm house, he cannot decently linger-not
in Normandy-after his question is answer
ed If he makes a pretty purchase in q
store his situation is only a trifie less awks
ward, since he is morally obliged to retire
as soon as the transaction is completed.
On the other hand, he has only to order 4
drink-in this country of cider and apples
jack every store and nearly every farm
house sells liquor-to be entitled to a sit
at table for long he wills II and "a
talk.
