councilman Zimmerman of Portland
is a leading stockholder, and who is
active manager. Sixty men are
employed, and the work never st 'ps
except for an hour or two at noon
Saturdays. All people may not
know it, perhaps, but it is not the
practice Of miners to observe Sun
day. The toll goes on seven day S
in the week, 80 days in the month
and all the days in the year except
St. Patrick's and a few holidays.
The Lucky Boys men are divided
up into shifts so that the movement

day from Reno, Nevada, to take up
the work of preparing the OAC

George Herbert Root, who is this
year to be captain of the team, is
among the bunch. Kenneth Coop
er was also along, as was Rinehart,

LOG CABIN THERE.
When she Arrived in Portland-CrosS-
ed the Plains in Forty

Nine.
A briet story of the life of Mrs
Clearinghouse, who died a few days
ago near Monroe, is told as follows
by a friend of the family:

William Coyle, and crossed the
plains by OK team in 1s47. The
family wintered on Columbia
slough, when there was only a log
cabin where the city of Portland
now stands. In January, 1852 they
occupied the farm near Monroe,
which was the place of the contin-
uous residence of Mrs. CARING
house until her death.

BACK TO VISIT.
Scenes Of Many Years Agone-IS
Miner now In Southern
Mountains

sThem was mighty fine days"
said a tall we'll built man who en-
tered the hotel last Monday. It
was William Grant and he was al
luding to the days when Doc. Bail
ey, Professor McElroy, Colonel
Hogue, Bush Wilson and Joel Pal
mer lived and figured in the affairs
of Benton county. He had gained
two fortunes in Old Benton and lost
each in day, because his heart
was too big; and now as a result he
is living the life of recluse in some
deep mining gulch in the mountains
of Douglas. There, at the age of
seventy-three this hardy old man is
seeking to retrieve his fortune from
the gold fields which he has devel-
oped. He IS alone-his own cook,
his own master, his own toiler.
When the deep wintry SHOWS come
he contents himself with his little
log cabin and the mine not far a.
way. At times, for six months
and longer, he has been shut out
from the world, not having seen a
person or newspaper in all that
time. Hence as a matter of busi-
ness and recreation he has taken a
few days off to visit his friends in
Corvallis, Newport and Portland;
and then will return to his mount
ain home where he will remain
alone until the spring thaws out
the SHOWS again.
Onr day last year a friend in
passing near his cabin happened to
call on the old man whom to his
surprise he found in bed almost un-
able to speak. A timber had fallen
on him, and before he tainted he
managed to crawl into his cabin,
where he lay more dead than alive.
Simple remedies, such as could be
found, were administered promptly;
and when the patient could speak
he said, "Cook a pan of that deer
liver you brought. When this
was done, ne Sa1d, COOK another
pan full" Then Cant said, "To
prove to you that I haven't eaten
anything forsix days, I am going
to eat the whole thing, and you
may cook something else for your.
SELF And the big mountaineer,
like Joe Meek. easily accomplished
the task. Life seemed to come
back once more, and his chin aud
supple tongue began TO play with
Irish wit as they did in the days
Of forty-nine.' Gradually health
has been restored until this septua-
genarian looks as if he could yet be
a fine center rush for a high class
college team.

BREAKING OF THE VOICE.

1t Is Caused by an Organic Change
In the Lnrynx.
The peculiar physiological causes Of
what is called the breaking of the voice
are not quite understood. but 1t Is
known to depend Immediately upon an
organic change in the larynX, the organ
of the voice, which occurs in the male
sex between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen. Before that the larynX Of
boys resembles that of girls, but when
the voice begins to break the vocal
chords become Heightened at least one
third, the angle of the thyroid cartilage
becomes enlarged, and the muscles
which connect the organs of the voice
with the hypoid bone and the base Of
the tongue become elongated.
While the change of form Is taking
place the voice is untitled for singing
and should be used only with great
care. In other words, the breaking
of the voice is due to the rapid de-
velopment of the larynX. which takes
place at certain ages and which leads
to change in the range of the voice.
The peculiar harshness of the voice
when 1t is thus breaking seems to be
due to a temporary congestion and
swollen condition of the mucous men,
Dranc of the vocal chords accompany
ing the active growth Of the whole
larynX.

Backboards, iron collars and dumb
bells were the ordinary calisthenic ap-
purtenances in boarding schools for
young ladies in 1776, about the time
when Maria Edgeworth was a school
girl. In biography Of the first great
Irish novelist Hon. Emily Lawless says
that these devices were not deemed
sufficient in Marias case. For her
special benefit one more had to be add
ed, one which even the judicious fam
lily biographer seems to have regarded
as rather severe. When she was four
teen years old her shortness was OBJ

the members of her family. The Edge

of good looks was blot on the repu-

of her deficiencies not only were all
the usual exercises resorted to, but
also one which Mrs. Edgeworth her.

The authoress In question, who was

enough to enjoy the situation.

"In the territory where l do much

beautiful furnishings it possessed when
the family moved away. In fact, you
can see the lace curtains at some Of
the windows. They have been turned

He tried all sorts Of glasses to see IL he

and its owner, Sir Seymour Haden,
put it into the hands of noted expert
to be remounted. When he had sue
cessfully removed it from its old mount

him what he had discovered. A circle
of orange vermilion had been plastered

or all genealogical curiosities the one
set forth below Is probably the oldest
a singular piece Of reasoning to prove
that man may be his own grandfather!
Here it is: There was widow (Anne,
and her daughter Uane) and man
(George) and his son Henry). This
widow married the son, and the daugh-
ter married the father. The widow was
therefore mother lin law1 to her hus-
bands father and grandmother to her
own husband. BY this husband she
had son David. TO whom she was. Of
course, grca at-grandmother. Now, the
son of n great grandmother must be
grandfather or granduncle to the per-
son TO whom his mother was or is
great-grandmother, but in this instance
Anne was grandmother to him
Darid; therefore David could not be
other than his own grandfather.

KNOWLEDGE
Is NOT WISDOM.

IFi lSDOM is knowledge put
I'LL to practice. This is the
best definition to the word
we know. There are many men
who have knowledge but are not
wise.
A man may be learned in the
sciences, arts, trades, professions,
but if he does not exert his know
lie tge unto wisdom what benefit
does he derive.
Oftimes we see persons of great
knowledge act and do very foolish
thiags-the wisdom is lacking.
Edgar Allen Poe, one of the
greatest intellects ever known,
died a drunkard in the gutter.
His knowledge lacked the great
es5 essential of making him
gteat man.
Man cannot be perfect, but
those who have exercised their
tllents unto wisdom cannot fail
bat to succeed. We, therefore,
caution you to be wise.
On the tribunals of our courts
of justice we endeavor to seat men
who have knowledge, are honest,
sincere and consequently should
he wise to their ability. Like
wise, we should nominate and
elect associates of like character.
If the office of Associate Judge
IS OF any consequence it is our
duty to see that some good, hon
est, straightforward man be NOM
mated on the Democratic ticket
for this Falls election if the Of
flee counts for naught, why not
endeavor to abolish it
There is one person now an
nounced for that elevated position
on our ticket, and we regret to
say is not fit or capable candi-
date for the same. He may O.
have knowledge but lacks wisdom.
For more than one year we know
of a case in which he deliberately
insists in subjecting himself to
the ravages of the law, and, as
the publisher of the representa-
tive county paper, we deem it
our duty to say that whether the
man is honest or not he is IN
CAPABLE of serving us. If he
is honest O. he is TOO careless to
care for our county's needs.

war. He witnessed the battle Of Sedan
from the Prussian headquarters on
Thursday, Sept. 1, 1870. At its conclu-

threatened to arrest him for saying
that the French had been defeated. He
then went OH to Calais. crossed to Do

was not till Tuesday that the London
newspapers had accounts of the con.

But the most famous deed Of physic
