KING SERVED IN NAVY.
The New Ruler Of Norway Passed
Through Some Rough
Experiences.

NorNay'5 new king was once an ap-
prentice in the Danish navy. In the
mess to which he belonged he was
called by his first name-that is. Karl
in Danish-and he had to eat the same
grub" and stand the same hardships
as all the other apprentices. Although
everybody knew him to be a prince Of
the realm. no Difference whatever was
paid to him as such. On the contrary,
he was "haZed' and made miserable in
good old midshipman style. He took
his medicine bravely enough. On
board ship he had TO mend his WI
clothes, darn his socks, sew On buttons
and keep his weapons and accouter-
ments in order. He slept in a regula-
ton sailor HAMMOCK. with his clothes
rolled up under his head for a pillow,
without a nightshirt and wearing only
a sailors wooden striped undershirt
and bundled uD in a wooden blanket,
sometimes with bis sea boots dangling
by the hammock rope. He used to
make the big brass pinnacle fash like
silye" mail, He could never quite
get used to chewing tobacco. which in
the eyes Of every true apprentice is
one of the cardinal virtues, and when
ever he was seasick, which often hap
pened, he used to sit in the gangway
on 4 bucket and chew rye bread.

That things are not always what

The delicatessen man started to say
something about the sausages in the
window not being just like the reg
ular kind, but his apparent unwilling
ness aroused the ire Of the customer,
who began to insist that the sausages
in the window be taken down at once
and sold to him. Possibly he did not
notice the smile of the deiicatessen
man as his request was complied with.
If he did, he learned its meaning when
his wife opened the package in the.
Kitchen and discovered the sausages
were made for window display solely
and consisted Of plaster of paris neat

Expanding Industry in the South.

In the race for wealth the southern
farmer is abreast of the western
granger and the northern manufacture

the south come reports of expanding
industries, 1t is computed that farm
properties in the II states that once
seeded from the union have risen in
value more than 81, 900, 600, 900 in two
years. The average yield of these
lands since this century began is 5000.

the preceding six years. Tine south now
not only grows cotton for the world,

PAY TAXES BUT CANNOT VOTE
Peculiar Situation Prevails in
Corner of Baker County.

Over in the corner of Baker county
adjoining Malheur county there is a
parcel of land where the residents
have neither road district, school dis
trict or voting precinct. They cannot
vote, and for many years they paid no
taxes. The people do not know
whether they are in Malheur. or Ba-
ker county and perhaps they do not
care, but they are in Baker county.
This peculiar situation arose from
the carving out of Malheur county.
There was one corner of the county
where the dividing lines overlapped,
and the land in this corner was never
taxed until 1900, when Mr.. Wisdom
went into the Assessors Office. He
consulted with County Engineer Eos
ter and decided that the land was in
Baker county, and proceeded to assess
what was patented. Since that time
taxes on 1,400 acres belonging to
the Eastern Oregon Land company
have been paid at Baker county.
Recently timber men have been To-
eating on it and have designated it as
being in baker county, but when it
comes to voting they cannot cast bal
lots in either county.

The Statesman Flops

The remuneration of the democratic
party by the Evening Statesman has
been the subject of much discus sion
in the political business circles of
the past two days. Democrats have
generally understood for the past two
years that the Statesman was making
an effort to slip away from its old al
liances and were fully prepared for its
final declaration of secession. Some,
however. had hoped that its inclina-
tion to desert was only a temporary
affection from which it would recover
sooner or later, and the open declar-
alton Of any honors or credit due the
paper from past managements, and its
refusal to bear the responsibility of
any positions it has taken in the past,
comes to them with more or shock.
