FELL FROM THE HEAVENS
And Finally Brought Up in the Ore.
gon Supreme Court.

gon Supreme Court.
The famous Oregon City meteorite
case was argued before the supreme
court yesterday afternoon. This is the
case in which Eli Hughes, who lives
near Oregon City, discovered this curio
on a piece of wild land belonging to
the Oregon Iron & Steel Co., of Port.
land.
From two Indians, one a surviving
member of the Klickitat tribe and the
other a representative of the Wasco
tribe, Mr.. Hughes learned hat the in.
teresting subject Of this controversy
had belonged TO the Clackamas tribe
Of Indians and was considered by
them as a sort Of a spirit being.
When discovered by Mr.. Hughes, it
was standing upright on a little knoll,
and very strongly resembled a huge
mushroom or inverted bell. The top or
fat surface is about 10 by 4 feet, and
is about four feet thick. It's weight is
estimated at from three TO -four tons,
and its specific gravity is that of soft
iron. The composition Of the strange
meteorite is 80 per cent soft iron and
10 per cent nickle, with n trace of co.
bait, all fused together, and giving the
surface a reddish cast.
According to the legend Of the Clack-
amas Indians, this huge piece of iron
came from the moon, and was called by
them "Monokowo." In its upper sur.
face they had dug out wash bowls in
which the rain water was collected, and
this fluid was supposed to have super.
natural powers. The young warriors Of
the tribe were compelled to visit this
relic on the darkest nights to wash in
this water, and to fail to dip their ar
rows in it before going into battle with
their Indian foes, meant certain de-.
feat.
But all this has changed, the Clacka
mas tribe is a thing Of history, for
many moons have come and gone since
the last member took his departure
for the happy hunting grounds. Aban-
doned by those who worshipped it, this
visitor from the stars was fast being
hid from the eyes Of man by the sur.
rounding brush.
Being convinced that II was an aban-
doned Indian relic, and therefore the
property Of the first to discover IL and
consider IL Of any value, Mr.. Hughes
constructed a rude wagon, and carted
it to his home, about three-fourths Of a
mile distant.
When the Oregon Iron & Steel Co.
heard Of the find they Immediately
took steps TO secure possession Of it,
on tho ground that they are the pos.
SCISSORS Of the land upon which IL was
found. They deny it was an Indian
relic any more than Mt. Hood is, for
they argue that the Indians worshiped
that, and il they could claim this me
teorite they could also claim Mt.
Hood. The company secured the yer
diet and possession Of the strange OBJ
ject in the lower court, and Mr.. Hughes
appealed. His attorneys are Hayes &
Latourette, of Oregon City, while Lin
thicum, of Portland, appears for the
Oregon Iron & Steel Co.
While both parties to this suit agree
that this strange piece of iron came
the heavens, no testimony has yet
been introduced to show when it con
to take up its abode on earth.

TIE CARE OF LAMPS.

The lamps should De filed every day and the cEimneys. shades and burners cleaned whenever their condition de- mands it. The lamps should be filled nearly to the top of the reservoirs. leaving just space enough to allow for possible expansion of the oil. If too large space is left air may enter, mix with the gas collected there. and cause an explosion. The wick should be soft and loosely woven. and must fIl the burner, but not crowd it. If loosely ft- ted II will admit air to the reservoir.
 The chimneys, if smoked. should be wiped with soft paper and then washed with ammonia and water or alcohol and water. because soap is likely to make them cloudy. They should be thorough ly dried or they will break when heated.
 New chimneys are made more durable by the following treatment: Place them in c kettle of cold water and add one tablespoonful of salt to each gallon of water. The water should completely cover the glass. Bring t.e water slow iy to the boiling point. then remove the kettle and let the chimneys cool in the water IL is wise to buy several chim- neys at time. and thus have a stock against accidents.

"Grafters.

In the operation of city government graft appears in four great forms: Police graft. or the profit derived through the police department from lawbreakers and criminals; payroll graft; contract graft, or the illegal profit on public contracts. and franchise graft Police payroll and contract gratis are disreputable, vile and loathsoms. They are commonly and generally so considered. writes Franklin w. Parker. in the World To-Day. They are usually the work Of small, cheap mesn men. Those who engage in such undertakings are for the most part of the vilest sort. They do not make influential friends What they are Go- ing is plain stealing ard t is so re garded by every body. They cannot be- come men of real standing ID the con- munity They steadily and naturally sink into social insignifcance. Fran chise graft is connected with the grant, extension, regulation and control of franchises for public utilities. In ths United States franchise graft is respect able. The franchise boodler, if skillfui ard intelligent, becomes leading citi- zen and respected member of the com munity, supporter of charities and not infrequently a good church man. He steadily mounts the ladder of social, financial and political distinction. Doz- ems of Chicago and Illinois men who have made fortunes out of the public utilities, or who are commonly believed to have been franchise grafters or who have been openly charged with 1t. now occupy conspicuous positions, appoin- tive or elective, in the national. state and city governments. and it is prob ably the same with other states and cities.

 Safer Railroads.

The Engineering News is saying-as one that speaks with authority-what has been said in many instances b. the general press on the s-.biect of fast trains. II sees nothing to commend in s1em. efen on the great trunk lines. but IL points out that these roads are better fitted for the high speed than many other roads are for much low CT speed, and IL emphasizes the point that what America railroads need is not faster time, but fewer accidents. and that the money spent in expedit- ing trains should Dc spent in making the roads safer. Ii says: The great eefest of Ameri,an Sa!lFoading to-day is not low speeds IL is too frequent accidents. Most American railway trains are run al quite as high speed as the existing track. rolling stock and signal systems justify If money is 10 be spent for improved service. let il be in making travel safer So far as in- creased speed Is concerned, the travel ing public. as whole, will gain much more by greater promptness and rogu- larity Of train movement and close ad herence to time tables than it will by spectacular feats of fast running by special trains"
