SMALL FIRE DURING WIND STORM
Firemen Make Use Of Buckets and
Hand Brigade.

During the heavy wind storm last
night a fire alarm was turned in from
North UNinth street and Rees ave-
nue.. When part of the apparatus
from the central station reached the
scene it was found to be nothing more
than a brush pile and some lumber
on fire, although the flames were be-
ing famed vigorously by the strong
wind and would have communicated
with tall grass adjoining within a
few minutes. The firemen formed
themselves into a hand brigade and
with buckets full of water soon mad
the blaze out. During the two hours
of the storm Chief Metz kept mis-
men closely assembled for any out
break of fire.

OREGON GRAIN DEALERS SEEK
TO MAKE CHANGE in WASH
INGTON STANDARD.
Wheat Men Here Are Opposed to the
Scheme and Believe Oregon Will
Come to Them.

Last weeks meeting of the grain
men in Portland, in an effort to NIX
uniform standard busnel for the Pa
cific coast states, has caused con-
siderable talk among brokers and
growers. These men think that In
view of the fact that the state OF
Washington will produce 30,000,Oo0
bushels of wheat this year; more than
the combined estimated output of CAL
ifornia, Oregon and Idaho, the other
states should reduce their standard to
that of Washington. This view, they
say, is further strengthened by the
fact that the Washington standard
of So pounds is the same as that In
vogue in Minnesota and other eastern
grain states. They assert that the
standard of So pounds should be MADE
to facilitate the increasing trade with
the east.
Oregon's Argument.
On the QUIET lldLo NhS NoO--
people state that one-fourth of the
Washington yield goes to Portland
and therefore, they should have the
balance of power" and they want
Washington to come up to the Ore
gon standard of SO pounds, which
California is willing to accept.
But the Oregonian proposition
is offset by Puget Sound grainmen by
the statement that one-half of the Ida
no crop comes annually to Sound
norts. in addition to one-half of the
total output of Umatilla county, ore
eon. Furthermore. so say the Puget
Sound people, the California wheat
fields are worked out and instead OF
producing from 100000 to 100000
bushels a year, the output will fall to
less than 10000, O00 bushels this year,
and more than one-half of this grain
will be unfit for milling purposes.
Oregon, too. they declare, is a back
number, and will soon be IN the same
straits as California.
Think Other States Will Yield.
For these reasons the Washington
people are hoping that the members OF
the state grain commission will not
change the Washington standard. be-
lieving that California can be induced
to accept the Washington standa. q
this year. They also think oregon
will come to terms in time.

AS in every other thing there is
a Best in PIANOS and this BEST

They mean that the piano will be

as their great regulations would make
you think.

Postof1ce inspectors are to put a

colored and suggestive postal cards
through the mails. The practice has
reached SUCH proportions and vulgar
ity that the postofice department has
taken the matter up and notified post
masters that such cards when found
are to be held up and an effort made
to discover the sender of the matter
The inspectors will get at the root of
the matter by prosecuting the pub
lisners of such cards. The cards first
issued were in the main, merely
amusing but later suggestive scenes
and workings were added with the
result that many of the cards are pos
itively vulgar.
Some of these cards passing
through the Walla Walla office are
pretty rank but until we receive pos
tive instructions from the depart
ment to hold them up and they will
be allowed to pass" Deputy Post
master Rolla Proudfoot said. 1T is

Bad Memories.

Many people complain Of having a
bad memory, as II it were something
they could not help, like q headache.
or some similar ailment; yet even that
can be helped nowadays by the appli-
cation of little common sense. After
all, there is no reason why anybody
should have a bad memory. It Is mere
ly a matter of training and is, more
over, a matter in which it is never too
late to attend to its training. For
grown-ups many methods are advo-
Gated, all of them, no doubt, based on
the principle of mental concentration.
In a young child the faculty can be
cultivated by making the child de-
scribe everything it has seen in its
morning walk, taking care that no fact
is exaggerated, but that strict atten-
ton is paid to truth in every detail.
In the matter of memorizing it Is an
excellent plan to let the child learn
one line Of poetry day, which 1t
should repeat the following morning,
and at the end of a week it will be
able to say the seven lines. The young
brain should not be overloaded with
knowledge, but allowed to assimilate
q fragment each day.

could not find his luggage in the van.
That's all right, sir,'' 1 said: "the
train divides into two halves at the
junction. You've come on by the first
half; your luggage will come on by
the second. I've known many a case"
You're wrong, porter" said the
traveller; sit was not case, it was
portmanteau.''
and" added the porter, ''he went
ly mad. In quarter of an hour or so,
though" he continued, '.the gentleman
came back, and said to me:
Porter, how long will that second
train of yours be?'

Russia,s Lack of Statesmen.

AS matter of fact, there has not
been statesman of the first class in
Russia since Peter the Great, and none
of the second class unless Nesselrode
and the first Emperor Nicholas are to
be excepted, To consider Prince Gort-
chakef great chancellor on account
OF his elaborate dispatches is absurd.
To call him a great statesman, in the
time of Cavopr, Bismarck, Lincoln and
Seward. is preposferous. Whatever
growth Russia has made in the last
forty years has been mainly in spite
of the men who have posed before the
world as her statesmen: the atmos-
phere Of Russian autocracy is fatal to
greatness in her public men.--Century.

Nellie Tells How Baby came.

Nellie Tells How Baby Came.
There's no use of yous talking, for
mamma told me so,
And if there's any one that does, my
mamma ought to know;
For she has been to Europe, and seen
the Pope of Rome,
Though she says that was before I came
to live with her at home.
You see, we had no baby, unless you
call me one,
And have grown so big you know,
'twould have to be in fun.
When l went to see grandma, about
two weeks ago,
And now we've one, little one, that
sQuirms and wriggles 80.
And mamma says an angel came down
from heaven above,
And brought this baby to her, for she
and me to love;
And its got the cunningest Of feet, as
little as can be,
And smiling eyes, and curly hair, and
hands you scarce can see.
And then it never cries a bit, like some
bad babies do;
And papa says it looks like mel don't
think so, do you?
For I'm a girl, and it's a boy, and boys
can't endure,
Unless they're babies like our own,
they'll plague and tease you sure.
But you say the angel didn't come, now
you just tell me why;
The Bible says there's angels in heaven,
and that's the sky;
And Christ loves little babies, and God
makes everything,
And if the angel didn't who did cur
baby bring?
You can't tell; no 1 guess you can't, but
mamma ought to know,
For it's her baby, hers and ours, and
mamma told me SO;
And they don't make any cunning things
like him on earth, you see;
For no wax doll, with real hair, is half
so nice as he.
know an. angel brought him, and I
think one brought me, too.
Though 1 don't just now remember, and
| so can't tell, can you?
But mamma knows, and this know, the
baby wasn't home
When I went away, and now he is; If
you want to see him, come.
For mamma says if 1 am good I can
| kiss him every day,
And we'll kiss him now, and then &C
out and have nice long play;
And if anybody asks you how babies
come and go,
Why, tell them it's the angels, for
mamma told me so.
