MULES FOR EASTERN OREGON.
Rural Spirit Speaks of Motive Power
In Wheat Belt.

The Rural Spirit says of the value
of mules as motive power in eastern
Oregon:
The mule is a faithful servant and
In case of hardship, heat and lack of
care he has quite a little advantage
over the horse.
For drawing the big combined har-
vesters and threshers on the light dry
soils of eastern Oregon ana Washing
ton where the heat is sometimes in
tense and the travelling together of
so many animals raises a suffocating
dust the mule is far superior to the
horse and this fact, as well as his
adaptability to other conditions of
their system of farming has created
so great a demand that part of it is
being supplied from Missouri.
A carload recently brought out from
there cost a Palouse farmer $400 a
span delivered at home. Few animals
can be brought to maturity as cheap
ly as the mule and their production
offers good remuneration in many
sections of the coast. We should not
long have to go to Missouri for mules.

One day man entered Daniel Web
ster's office and consulted him in re-
gard to prospective lawsuit. At the
close of the conference he paid the at
torney retainer Of 500 to look after
the matter. Upon returning to his
place of business he found that his
partner had already settled the suit,
obtaining the sum demanded without
an attorney. He thought 500 was al
together too much for an office fee, so
he dispatched his clerk to look after
the subject.
"Mr. Webster" said the young man,
my employer thinks you should re.
turn n part Of your retainer. That
case has BEEN settled"
Young man." said the lawyer, you
go back and tell your employer that a
retainer Is something to be retained"

nitude never before attained, the
number of fish and Holsters Matched
and distributed aggregated 1884,
S34,690. White fish, chinook salmon,
blueback salmon, black-spotted trout,
brook trout, lake trout, pike, yellow
and white perch, cod, flatfish and
lobster were cultivated and planted
in large numbers.
A noteworthy feature of the work
was the introduction of government
salmon culture in Alaska. The scien-
tific work conducted in the interests
of the commercial fisheries has COW
cred the usual wide range, much be-
ing continuation of work already in
progress. Special Investigations were
made in fresh waters of Maine and
Alaska, of the oyster grounds of Lou
isiana, the fishery resources of the
Alaskan coast and other parts of the
north Pacific ocean; large collection
of fishes from the coast of tropical
American and the Philippine islands
have been studied.
Commissioner of Fisheries Boweres,
says the failure of the states to make
adequate provision for protecting the
food fish supply within their limits,
more particularly the migratory spe-
cies appears more urgently to de-
mand action on the part of congress.
He thinks the government should
either assume jurisdiction over migra-
tory fishes that can not be regarded
as the property of any one state, or
should suspend fish cultural opera
tions in waters where its efforts are
completely counteracted by the in
difference of the states.

speech, set off with all the expression
and dramatic gesture for which he was
so famous. The house seemed sur
prised. Members looked at one another
and murmured, what is the old man

deep political game. But a week or

eagerly inquired: What did he think

The Snail.

The slowest creatures in creation are
snails and certain small beetles. Some
Of them habitually move only foot or
two in an hour, but this slowness is
partly due to the fact that they remain
motionless at intervals. By measuring
the distances covered by snails when
they were kept going constantly it has
been found that the maximum speed
of good healthy snail is five and q
halt feet an hour.
