looking for chance to sleep. 1t Is
probable that most of them found the
chance, but it was rather discouraging
hunt for some of them. The lesson
ought not to be far to seek, for thrifty
New England people. Everybody who
has spare bed might as well get some
thing for it during the fair, either by
letting it to the hotels, which would be
glad to get it, or by furnishing it in
dependently. And there's more than
the direct and immediate personal gain
to be considered. 1t would be greatly to
the general advantage of the place to have
it known that accommodations can be
found for the multitude at such time as
affair. Local pride and loyalty enter into
the account.
Two deeds which came in to the Ok
ford Registry few days ago probably
break the record for long-delayed deeds
for registry. They are dated in l79S and
1900 respectively, and were both &C
knowledged Oct. 4, 1902, before Ben]a,
min Russell, justice of the peace, al
Bethel. Both are given by Thomas
Peabody of q place called Peabody's
Patent in the County of York and Com
monwealth of Massachusetts,, Yeoman,
to "John Mason of the afOrementionee
PeabOdy's Patent, YeOman." The con
sideration of one of them Is thirty-si,
dollars, and the amount of land conveyed
is one hundred acres. The consideration
of the other is seventy EIGHT dollars, ant
the land conveyed comprises two parcels
amounting to fifty-seven acres, all tn
parcels being situated in Peabody
Patent, and on the Androscoggin River
Thomas Peabody was the original owne
BY grant from Massachusetts, Of Pea

tee, John Mason, was the grandfather o
Mrs. j. Hastings Bean, wife OF tn

conveyed by these deeds comprises tn
home farm, on which John Mason set
tied, which has ever since remained u
the family, and is now occupied by hi

" discovered that these deeds bad neve

CONCERNING THE NORMAL.
Weston Leader.

The Oregonian says that the Leader
is "rabid," in commenting on a re-
cent editorial in this paper concern
ing the Weston Normal. We suspect
that the Oregonian itself would scarce
ly be an engaging example of meek
ness and humility had it seen an in
stitution whose growth it had fondly
watched for twenty years struck
down by mob of political fanatics.
The Oregonian attempts to disclaim
responsibility for the referendum
movement, but it was the Oregonian's 8
falsehoods against the normal schools
that led to this mistaken action. Now
the Oregonian wants the referendum
sustained at the polls. on the theory
that it has already done all the dam
age possible and the "rebuke should
be ratified" 1t has not, however.
To sustain the refe rendum will be to
tie up the general appropriation bill
until the legislature meets, thus ad-
ding to the states embarrassment and
costing a further large sum in inter
est. If the referendum was right to
begin with it should be ratified, and
not otherwise. 1t was wrong, how
ever-a deadly, cruel wrong-an edu-
cational crime with scarce the shadow
of justification. If the Judgment of
the people has not been entirely warp
ed by the Oregonian's narrow and
unjust policy of misrepresentation,
the appropriation will be sustained
and Yamhill county very properly
squelched. The Oregonian could not
complete its article, of course. with
out referring to the normals again as
"local high Schools" and as source
of political corruption. Will it never
tire of these miserable lies? Will it
never attempt to bolster up its gaunt
and empty assertions with some SEM
blance of proof? AS to state board
of trustees, the Leader favors the plan
and endorses James Withycombe's $
views on the subject.

IRvING.s SELF DENIAL.
Success Magazine.


There was one special act in Irving s
young life on the stage that has les
son for all young artists. When, in
1859, having then had three full years
of experience as player, he got a
three years engagement in London
and made his appearance at the Prin-
cess, he came to the conclusion that
his work was not yet good enough for
metropolitan favor. So be resolutely
bent himself to the task before him.
and, with the reluctant consent of his
manager, cancelled his engagement.
He went back to the weary routine
and labor and hardship of the prov
inces, till the time should come for a
more worthy effort. When we re-
member that London engagement
was, and is, the goal of an ambitious
actors hopes, and that it means regu-
lar work and regular pay and an ever
increasing opportunity for distinguish
ing oneself, we can understand that
his self-denying resolution was little
less than heroic. When. however, he
did come again. even years later, he
had his reward. He came to stay.
He knew his work then, and knew
that he knew it. His record from
that on was an unbroken one of sue.
cess and honor. His fight was won.

ATHENA, FEBRUARY 10 1906

The Shaniko Republican has evil
IDENTIFY been through the mill, and has
met the man who "takes" the local
paper, but roars like cyclone when
be is asked to pay for it. The Re-
publican puts it this way, and it is
honest truth, every word Of it, except
that occasionally subscriber is found
who "stops it, without paying:
"The fateful time is now at hand
when the country editor must once
more remind his delinquent friends
how badly, how sadly, how madly he
needs the dollar. He fixes up polite
note, the best he can think of, puts a
two cent stamp on and sends it on its
mission. A subscriber comes in at
the door with 'don't-you-open your
mouth-to-me' expression on his face,
and with a voice like a giant, he
wants to know how much he owes
on his paper. Trembling as an aut-
umn leaf, the meek and lowly prince
of the sanctum looks through the list
and haltingly informs the lordly de-
linquent that the books show that he
owes So. With the air of an eastern
potentate, the much aggrieved reader
Of the country's family paper hands
over the two plunks, then he squares
his shoulders, sticks out his chest and
halts at the door. You may stop it, )
he says, and then walks out with the
air Of man who has just received
such grievous wrong that he fears
to speak, lest he lose control of him
self. The editor sits meekly down
at his desk and writes for the personal
columns: "Mr. So-and-So, one of the
leading citizens of such place, made
this office pleasant call last week. >"

Two samples of good roads will be
built in Oregon this summer under the
direction of government experts.
Through the efforts of Senator Fulton
and Senator Hill, the good roads en-
thusiasts, the agricultural department
has agreed to send experts and ma
chinery to Oregon to build two speci-
men roads, each one mile in length.
1t is the understanding that the roads
shall be built near Salem and Pen
dleton. the respective counties to heal
the expense OF materials and labor,
and the government to pay its experts
and furnish machinery. Similar work
is to be done in other northwestern
states, and it is planned to hereafter
build two sample roads until each
county has had at least one such high
way. The object is to demonstrate to
farmers how good roads can be built
and maintained.

TO EUROPE IN a DAY.
New York Sun.

Three-day excursions to London and
return are the dream of an inventor
who is now perfecting motor which,
he believes, will drive steamships at
the rate of 100 and $50 miles an hour.
This new motor is simple affair.
1t consists of pipe which runs
through the hold of the vessel below
the water line. This pipe is open at
both ends. Attached to this pipe,
about one third from the after end,
is cylinder which is just the di-
ameter of the pipe and in length about
three times its diameter. At the bot
tom of this cylinder the pipe that at
taches it to the main pipe curves aft.
The rest of the motor is simply an
application of the gas engine. The
cylinder when working is charged
with gas, which has been vaporized
from kerosene oil. An electric spark
explodes this gas and forces it out
through the pipe at the stern of the
boat This gives the boat kick
which drives it ahead, and at the
same time the gas driving through the
pipe at the stern creates vacuum at
the forward end into which the water
rushes SO that, as the inventor says,
it is drawing the boat ahead at the
same time that it is driving it for
ward from the kick in the stern.
Herbert e. Rider, who devised the
system of underground trolleys that
is in use in this city, and who has
invented other things, has lately beer
devoting his time to the study OF
dynamics and hydraulics. He had a
small model of boat built last sum.
mer and applied the motor, with the
result that the small six-foot boat fair
ly flew through the water.
He figured that he had got con-
tinuous cable which would pull his
boat across the north river, or, if the
boat were large enough, across the
Atlantic ocean. Mr.. Rider at once
had his invention patented.
Mr.. Rider has built an 18-foot st.
Laurence skiff in which small motor
is to be installed, and the boat will
be exhibited at the coming sportsmen's
show at Madison Square Garden.
The motor that is working Is a long
piece of pipe four inches in diameter.

William Jennings Bryan says of the
japanese: II have never seen more
quiet, orderly or self-restrsined people
than the Japanese. have visited all
of the larger cities and several of the
smaller ones, in all parts of the
islands; have mingled in the crowds
that assembled at Toxic and Yokoha-
ma at the time of the reception to
Togo, and during the naval review
have ridden through the streets in the
daytime and at night, and have walk
ed when the entire street was mass
of humanity. I have not seen one
drunken native or witnessed fight
or alteration of any kind. This is
the more remarkable when it is re-
mem bered that these have been gala
days, when the entire population
turned out to display its patriotism
and to enjoy vacation"

the law, and two gives some measure
Of encouragement to the optimist.
One column is devoted to accounts
OF ruffianly assaults upon women re-
ported to the police but never fully
investigated and in regard to which
the police sought to keep information
from the public. Another column
tells of theatre agents" deceiving
and robbing girls who songht employ
ment. In another there is detailed
account of one of the most nauseating
divorce scandals in millionaire circles
The cartoon on the same page aptly
illustrates conditions as they are ih
Chicago, and doubtless in other cities,
with an alderman holding the center
of the stage, while on one side Of him
are women beseeching protection and
on the other the saloon men also ask
ing protection. The alderman's eye
is rivited on the sign held aloft by
the saloonkeepers, Remember, we
are all voters"
What little of brightness the page
presents is contained in column re-
port from Washington telling of con
gress being aroused to the necessity of
improving the naturalization laws,
and local column wherein it is
shown that four aldermen have had
the courage to resist the appeals and
threats of the liquor element and join
the ranks of the high license support
ers. There is no definite assurance,
however, of successful accomplish
ment of the end sought either as to
naturalization or high license.
There is no pleasure in having at
tention called to the evil conditions Of
society, yet it is sometimes necessary
in order that good may result. Chica-
60 gains nothing by the prominence
given to its criminal side, but the
hope is indulged that this notoriety
may arouse popular and official senti-
ment to such degree that an effec-
tive remedy will be applied. Fortu
nately the country is not to be judged
by Chicago, but there are other places
in which conditions are nearly if not
quite as bad.

posting election notices, for instance,
when there are newspapers in the state
to do such work, is case in point.

The methods of the today might have

from the frontier it is high time a

costs absolutely more than the pub
