Portland, Feb. 12.-"Here Occident
and Orient each other greet, at
oceans brink. where sail and sail do
meet"
Business and sentiment are strang-
ers," somebody has said. Well, per-
haps, but there is the Bulletin, the
official organ of that eminently bus
mess institution, the Portland Cham
Der of Commerce, actually dropping
into poetry. OF course. it is only two
lines, with a picture of Portland's
skyscrapers and Mount Hood in the
background, sandwiched away among
a lot of advertisements; but a distinct
acknowledgment of the debt of bus
mess to the muses., nevertheless.
The poetical effusion is followed by
column and a half of descriptive
information about Portland for the
benefit of the stranger within her
gates.
Portland is built on the Willamette
river at the head of deep water nav
igation on that stream. About
dozen sea-going vessels are here at
present loading lumber and other pro-
ducts for various parts of the world.
Both sides of the river are lined
with wharves, warehouses, manufac-
turing plants with grimy smokestacks,
all the appurtenances which this city's
growing commerce has called into
being, somewhat marrlng for a short
distance the beauty or the river,
which been an inspiration to Oregon
literature. But on the other hand,
these warehouses, each with its white
winged messenger of commerce load
ing or unloading at its wharf. are so
many evidences of the wealth and
commercial Importance in the world
of this city and the country tributary
to 1t.

Ripley, Tenn, May 7.-While remov-

the following quaint old document was
found over the door casing. 1t bears
date of January /, 1867, and aside from
its age the instrument gives a bit OF in-
formation of the methods employed in
signing a laborer for a years work. The
original document reads as follows:

indebted to the United States of Amer
lea in the sum of two hundred $4,000
dollars, for the payment of which sum
he hereby binds himself, his heirs, etc.
"Said Pierson has agreed with Daniel

plantation near Hale's Point, Lauder

to labor for said Pierson, according to
the rules prescribed by the Freedman's
Bureau for the State, until the first day

Pierson is to pay him fifteen (S15) dol

Pittsburg, Pa. May 9.-The execu-

partial accounting here. The figures
proved surprise, as they show that
Mr.. Oliver was one of the wealthiest
Of Pittsburg's men. The statement
filed deals only with his personal prop
erty, and does not touch his immense
real estate holdings in this city and

expected to amount to more than his
bonds, stocks and cash accounts. 1t
is now thought that his estate will
reach $40 100000. Fifteen years ago
he was a bankrupt.

This is the opinion of Leigh S: j..
Hunt, capitalist and explorer, in a LETT
ter to Director of the Mint George E.
Roberts, which has just been-received.
About a year ago Mr.. Hunt took a
dozen skilled cotton growers from Tus-
kegee to Africa to test their value in
raising cotton. He has decided now to
take over several times as many as in
his original experiment..
Mr.. Hunt writes Mr.. Roberts not only
that he is pleased with the American
negroes as. cotton growers, but that they
themselves are greatly pleased with the
climate and surroundings. His object
in getting skilled American negroes is
not entirely on account of their owr
worth in the growing of cotton, but
also to have them teach the Egyptia
natives how to do the work He wi
have this in mind in making his selec-
lions of the next list of those who ar !

between the age periods of As and 81

Men Fatally Injured in

Chicago, May g. Both employers
and strikers claim gains Monday in the
Transfers strike. The employers de-
clare that they have gained a decided
advantage in the number of wagons
sent out and the amount of business
transacted. The strikers claim is
based on the fact that $50 drivers for
the various furniture dealers in the
city will strike this morning, and also
$50 paint workers employed by the
Heath & Milligan company. The strike
of the furniture dealers drivers was
foreshadowed on Saturday, when at a
convention of the Furniture Dealers
association it was declared that their
men must make deliveries, irrespective
of strike conditions. Monday they or
dered their men to carry goods to the
boycotted houses, and the strike will
be the result.
Why They walked Out.
The paint workers of Heath & MILF
gan are the first members any union
not member of the teamsterss organi-
cation to go on strike In support of
the teamsters. They have walked out
because of the delivery of goods by
non-union teamsters.
The State street department stores
and large dry goods houses sent out
nearly their complement of delivery
wagons Monday morning, and through
cut the day transacted business on al
most a normal basis.
More Wagons Manned.
Fifteen hundred wagons manned by
non-union men were operated from
State street Monday, and the number
will be materially increased to-day. No
more. colored men are being hired
either by the State street stores or by
the Employers leaning Co., and as
rapidly as possible those now at work
are being supplanted by white men. At
the Office of the Employers leaning
Co. it was announced that 125 white
men had been imported during the day
from Cincinnati and Kansas City, and
IS more had been secured in Chicago.
Individual contracts were made with
all of these men, and they will be Civ
