man.
II am looking for friends, murmured Dolly
almost under her breath, with smile that showed
a of peary teeth and set three distinct dimp1es
quivering among her bushes.
Too bad-too bad!" muttered the cabinet
minister. Cant of you fellows side-tracll
that blockhead of committee man, and get her
out of here quietly? No doubt she paid for her
ticket"
But the committee man, like certain soldiers
of which history tells, expected to do his duty,
and he steeed himself eff you will kindly give
your friends name" he said pompously, I'll
tell him you here"
Blockhead!" said the cabinet minister. eff
Mrs. B. not here. I'd get her out myself.

head on side and put her head the other SIDE

Hal was telling the woman. You will find most
of the things hung on the floor.
'One expects that in bachelors quarters" she
smiled.
The fact is" declared the cabinet minister

Bobbie guped down a lump of and decided
to make a clean breast of it. Mrs. Burton"
he appealed, have little pity on fellow! I'm
cooki If you're hungry, please move on to an
other ranch and get decent breakfast. There is
not thng-'pon my honor-there is not thing
in this old barracks to eat but of pumpkin
and-and unlaid eggs.
Mrs Burton knew the ranch country. Besides,
she was thinking of the elections. 'Oh, refuse
to be put off in that way. l know | smelt some
thing tasty cooking in that pot. We're very
hungry; but know we sha mt eat all that's in the
pot. Do you always boil enough for six months

Bobbie took off his hat, and in spite of blue
blood antecedents and the woman's presence,
uttered an Indian war-whoop. "Oh, Halls in

The womans face never fnched but the cabinet
minister forgot his forensic dignity. Then I'll
bet your shirts bad fit for giraffe's neck,
said he.
Il sha'n't wait for an invitation any longer"
declared the woman; and she marched into the
shanty.
A table, two wooden chairs bench, a cook stove,
shelves loaded with groceries and pans filled with
milk comprised the contents of the room. Boxing
gloves tennis rackets, hats saddles golf clubs guns
rifles boots socks time shirts, blankets and wolf
skins lay the floor of smaller inner room

When the cabinet minister drove back in the
afternoon he found big enough pile of pies and

election.

Dolly! They named her Dolly,
because the cabinet minister's
wife had sarcastically called her

Who she was, no one knew.
There was a strong feeling that

Diamonds.

Alfreid Belt reputed to have been
one of the richest men in the world,
organizer of the South African Diamond
monopoly, is dead. His associate, Cecil
Rhodes, died four years ago.
These two men owned, or controlled.
all the South African diamond mines.
The mines are so rich, and there are so
leW diamond mines in other parts of
the world, that the diamond kings"
were able to regulate to a carat the
stream of brilliants that led the market.
This huge monopoly, perhaps the
compietest and richest in the world,
mas not taken a penny from the lean
pockets of ordinary folk. Only the
llch regard diamonds as necessity.
Except in watches and fine drills and
few other mechanical uses the dia-
mond performs little service to human
ity. Beautiful as it is, and attractive
as its sparkle has been to men and
women in all ages OF the world, it is
not always artistic as an ornament.
Indeed, it is sometimes SO inappropri-
ate that its use in too great abundance
is stamp Of vulgarity.
Carlyle said scornfully to the Young
mining engineer that digging potatoes
is moie useful TO humanity than dig
ging gold. The principle under this
gruff lesson in economics is better ex-
empliiied in the diamond. For gold is
useful as well as ornamental, and is
Indispensable in art and commerce.
The common man buying meat at the
shop with little coin does feel the
effect OF the price of gold. But what
cares he for the price of the diamond
trinket? He watches anxiously the
hand of monopoly that manipulates the
price of oil. beef cotton, wheat. The
cost OF diamonds disturbs not his
serenity. We're all the diamonds in
the world to be buried again IN the
earth, most Of us would be as we'll off
as we are. They are but poor, shining
things for the crown of monarch or a
lady's necklace.
A good lump of coal to make fire
withal, or piece OF iron to beat into
stew-pan, for the actual use to which 1t
can be put, Is worth the Kohinoor.-

Popular Yaquina Bay.

General Manager Guy W. Talbot of
the Corvallis x Eastern. accompanied
by his family, wife, mother and sister
aud his private secretary, Mr.. Uhl,
came mp on the noon train Yesterday
for trip to Newport, where they will
spend a few days enjoying that sum
mer resort and getting acquainted with
conditions in that section. On their
arrival here a special train was in
readiness TO convey them to the bay,
and the party was joined by Mr. and
Mrs. j. X. Weatherford, a. h. Weather
ford, uperintendent j. r. Walsh,
Bridge Foreman John Stevens and a
few invited guests, when the special at
once left for the bay. The train
stopped at several points for the pur-
pose of giving Manager Talbot an op.
portunlty TO Inspect the company's
property, aud the result of the visit
may be some substantial improvements.
The train reached Yaquna bay about
O'Clock last evening
Conductor Chauncey Trapp, who had
charge OF the special started back
from Iaquina last night, bringing a
string OF coaches over for use on the
excursion today. The coaches of the
company were all muse yesterday and
one had to be secured from the South
ern Pacific in order to accommodate
the passengers on the regular bay train,
which was crowded to the handrails.
The business of the G.. g. +. between
this city and the bay is growing from
year to year. The month of July, 1905,
was better by far than in the same
month in previous years, in spite of
the fact that the Lewis and Clark ex.
position drew many people away from
Newport last year. The month of July
Just closed again showed a great in
crease over last year, the passenger
traffic between the Valley and the bay
being nearly half again as large as
that had in July last year. Newport
as summer resort Is growing daily in
favor with the people of Oregon, and
even surrounding states are sending
large numbers to the Yaquna bay re-
sorts This season.-Albany Herald
