tions of it from memory. To his young mind they were the most eloquent words he had ever seen or heard, and they re- main SO to this day. When Houston finished he rode northward across the broad pr? irie and cast no look behind.
 He died in 1862 Years after, former friends who had learned the secret of the desertion of the Tennessee wife, in justice to his memory, made it known, and it is now well authenticated history. The circumstances were these; On the wedding night when he and his bride had retired to their apartment the lady burst into an uncomfortable fit of weep ing. Every soothing word he spoke seemed to rend her heart the more, till finally he sternly demanded that she explain the cause of her grief Then she told all She loved man in humble position, but had listened to the advice of her parents and to her own desire for social prestige, and married himself. At once Houston's mind was made up, and when the house was quiet and he slipped out into the darkness there was an un- derStanding that he should pay the penalty for her awful mistake.
 Can truth ever remove the stigma from Mitchclfs name?

{ till the record Of hlS lie was closed, and you will know the strangest romance that ever excited the pity and the ad- miration of any man.

The Texas war for independ- ence enlisted his sympathy and gave scope to his ambition. April 21, lS36, Sam Houston-the same who had aban- doned the weeping bride and his honor able past in Tennessee eight years be- fore-as commander in cbief after re- treating 300 miles, suddenly turned and hurled his worn and wasted force full into the face of Santa Ana $ army, ami Inflated it, and achieved the independ- ence of Texas.

GOLD ON THREE MILE.
New Placer Diggings Worked In
Eastern Oregon.

For some time there has been an
air of mystery about the operations
of some men, near Wamic, who
would come to town for provisions
and then disappear up Three Mile,
on which the town is located, and
not to be seen again for weeks, says
The Dalles Chronicle. 1t was known
that these men were mining some
where up Three Mile, but the exact
locality could not be determined
The people around Wamic waited for
developments, knowing that the
facts would come to light later.
From the Tygh Bee we have the
latest intelligence about these placer
mines, as follows:
George Stout and the Steed
brothers made their cleanup last
week at their gold mine on Three
Mile Creek. They left Saturday for
Portland with their gold dust, in
tending to have thorough test
made. They are, very much elated
with their prospects, feeling conf
dent that they have a paying mine of
placer diggings.'

Evidently there is room for I'M
provement in the process of denat-
irritation, and the time before the
bill goes into effect can be utilized
to good purpose in working over the
problem. Even using wood spirit
for the purpose still leaves a fair
margin of cost in favor OF alcohol
when the manufacture gets fairly
under way.
"All sorts of vegetable waste, such
as refuse from the beet-sugar pro-
cess, can be utilized for alcohol-mak' :
ing, as we'll as surplus grain in times
of exceptional crops. To take full
advantage of all this, the denaturiz-

and effective, and watch should be
kept lest some of the chief gains of

required for the work is about 20
days to the mile.
This work is not an experiment.
Several street in Santa Monica have
been done by the tamping system
indeed, it is generally, known as the
Santa Monica system and they
have shown almost perfect wear.
One of them that has been done two
years has endured a good deal of
traffic and is practically as it was
when originally laid. 1t has been
found that this system will work
successfully in soft beach sand, and
one street in Ocean park has been
down for about year and is in ex-
cellent order.
Los Angeles has about six hun
dred miles of street, of which less
than 80 per cent are paved. Even
with all the work done to secure
petitions for paving, the total paved
area, when the streets now signed
up are paved, will be less than one
fourth the average of American cit
les of this size. What is needed Is
some comprehensive system of treat
ment for large areas of residenc,
streets to be done at the expense o.
the frontage owner, and yet at small
expense. The Santa Monica system
seems to supply the desired plan. Al
a cost of SIS or $40 lot, to have
what is practically an asphalt pave
ment except that it is quiet and free
from dust, is about as advantageous
a deal as the owner could ever hope

questionable if buyers can be found
