EXPOSITION ROMANCE.

Secretary of Portland Chamber of
Commerce Found a Bride at the
Fair.
Edmond C. Giltner, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, and Miss
Fora May Forester will be married
next Friday evening at o'clock, says
the Oregon Daily Journal. The cere-
mony will take place at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. p. Forester at
Gresham, and will be performed by
Rev. Bruce Wolverton, formerly pas
tor of the Christian church and for
years a warm personal friend of Mr..
Giltner. The bride and groom will
leave the same evening for Los An
geles, where they will spend two
weeks. Upon their return from Cali
fornia they will reside for a time at
6S6 Everett street. Mr. Giltner is
planning to build at the corner of
twenty-third and Everett streets.
The wedding follows an exposition
romance. Mr.. Giltner was the secre-
tary of the Lewis and Clark fair state
commission, and Miss Forester his
stenographer. The employer and en-
ploye soon formed strong attach
ment. Only few relatives and init
mate friends will be present at the
wedding.

High Price for Hogs.

Steve Hepton yesterday shipped a
carload of hogs to the coast market
for which he paid 1-2 cents. The
shipment was an exceptionally fine
lot and was purchased from Phil
Young of Asotin. Mr.. Hepton also
shipped a carload of 7-months-old
pigs the same day which averaged
24O pounds. The hog market is look
ing up, Mr.. Hepton says, and he
thinks the price will soon reach
cents for good, fat hogs.-Lewiston

PRAISES ECHO PROJECT.
II. l.. Holgatc Says No Obstacles in
Way of Water Users Association.

way OF Water users ASSOCIATION.
H. L. Holgate, attorney for the re-
service, who has conducted
the organization of the Umatilla Wa
ter Users association, at Echo, says
of the association and the East Una
tilla irrigation project to the Ore
gonian:
From the very inception, the Una
tilla project has been characterized by
an almost total absence of legal COM
plications or MISUNDERSTANDING be-
tween the water users and the gov
ernment," said Mr.. Holgate last night.
"As far as the legal end of the Una
tilla project is concerned, we have
had easy sailing. This is due to the
fact that most of the available lands
have not yet been patented. With the
individual owners we have little trou-
BILE. as they are anxious to secure wa
ter Being unable to dispose of their
homesteads because of their not being
patented, the individual owners still
retain the greater part of the acreage.
Where companies get in control of
large tracts of land are to be found
the legal complications.
"The farmers and the inhabitants
of the cities that will be benefited by
the project are lending the govern
ment every possible aid. The meet
ing of the Water Users association at
Echo was a great success, and shows
what confidence the people of that
section of the state have in the gov
ernment."

Cut rates on Pianos. You have

ceries, but cut rates on Pianos? How
is 1t possible? you ask. That's just 1t.
Before such thing could be effected
there must have been a combination
of very unusual conditions.
In the first place 1t means buying
In large Notwithstanding out Of the
small way of doing business. 1t means
the cutting out of every useless and
unnecessary expense. 1t means the
shipment of Pianos without boxes in
special cars which saves big sums on
freight charges.
Then it means the selling of Pianos
so excellent and satisfactory that the
public demands them.

sleep.
"They worked on me for two days,
rubbing me down with cold water and
dosing me with castor oil, before they
brought me round And always after
that have been careful never to sleep
where the moons rays could get at me.
My moonstrcke happened eight years
ago, but still at every full moon am
stupid and drowsy, my head droops a
little to one side, and my mouth tends
to hang open.

the soft undercoat, the true fur, is as
thick as that Of the seal and nearly
twice as long. while the long outer
hairs are as soft as a sable's tail and
often a pale gray, which gives to the
whole coat an appearance as of dark

LIFE's LITTLE THINGS.

They Go n Very Long Way Toward
Making the World Happy.
A wild birds song is little thing
lost in the deeps of frowning sky.
And yet as it falls on a listening ear
ana leaves its message of melody
earth's green seems brighter and life
is sweeter all through an autumn day.
The coo of babe is a little thing
meaningless sound from vacant
mind.
But tits the only sound that all ma
tons heed-the one clear language that
all races know.
A mothers love is little thlng--too
soon, alas, forgotl
But it typifies to blind humankind
the love and trust and hope divine that
bear with patience calm and sweet the
wlllful wrongs in these lives of ours.
A passing smile is little thlng-lost
In a world Of toll and care.
And yet the soul with gloom oppress-
ed and the life grown wearied with
burdens hard will happier be in the
afterglow Of a smile that is warmly
kind.
A kindly word is a little thing-a
breath that goes and a sound that dies.
But the heart that gives and the
heart that hears may know that 1t
sings and sings and sings till at last
it blends with the wild birds song and
the COO of babes in what men call the
celestial choir.-Milwaukee Journal.

THE ESKIMO SMOKER.
Tie Dearly Loves Tobacco and Not a
Mite of IL In Wasted.

He Dearly Loves Tobacco and Not a
Mite of IL In Wasted.
mo man is fonder of tobacco than an
Eskimo" said an arctic traveller. "The
Eskimo depends for his tobacco solely
on the white man. For a pound of it
he would sell his Oldest son.
1T is odd TO see an Eskimo smoke.
He chops his tobacco fine and mixes 1t
with chopped willow twigs so as to
make it go further. Then he cleans out
with picker of bone the small stone
bowl of his pipe, and then he plucks a
lock Of hair from his deerskin suit and
rams ii down In the bottom of the pipe
bowl so as to prevent any Of the finely
chopped tobacco from escaping into the
stem.
Finally he lights the pipe and smokes
it ina swift series of long, strong puffs
so that there may be no waste Each
pun is inhaled deep down into the
lungs, and the first puff's smoke is still
streaming from the nostrils long after
another pun has been started. There
must be, you see, no waste. There
must be none of that vain combustion
of tobacco without benefit to the smok-
er which goes on continually among us.
Often the most experienced Eskimo
will smoke so hard and fast that tears
will stream from his eyes. he will cough
violently, and sometimes vertigo and
nausea will seize him."-New York

vast store OF wealth Emptied From
New World Into Old.


It has never been told how vast was
the treasure thet was emptled from the
new world into the old In the glorious
days OF the Spanish dominion. We can
only Judge of how great II was by col
lateral evidence. The bOoties of Cortes
and Pizarro are famous in annals Of
new world history. In them we have
read how the soldiers of the former
carried away only small part Of the
treasures looted at Mexico, yet were so
loaded down with stolen gold that
when they fell from the causewny into
the lake in the memorable retreat frc.L
Mexico they sank and drowned as
weighted with plummets OF lead also
we read how Pizarro exacted as trlb
ute FOR the liberation OF the Inca Alta
hulpa gold that filed to the depth Of
several feet room seventeen feet wide
by twenty-five feet long and that was
valued at 100000 pesos dor, the
equivalent OF nearly $15,000 of our
money.
When Drake sailed the bouth sea In
the Golden Hind upon his piratical
voyage of circumnavigation in the
years 1879 and when he captured the
Nuestra Sonora della Concepclon--sur-
named the Cacafue or Spitfire-of Cape
San Francisco, IL took three days to
transfer the treasure from the cap
tured ship to his own. In that single
haul there was realized purchase"
as it was called, OF over twenty-six
tons Of silver, besides eighty pounds of
virgin gold, thirteen chests Of pieces Of
eight containing over $1,000,0O0 in
money and an enormous amount Of
jewels and plate.
Upon the evidence of John Drake we
read that when the Golden Hind laid
her course for England, by way Of the
Cape of Good Hope, she was so heavily
"ballasted" with pure silver that she
rode exceeding deep in the water"-
Harper's Magazine.
