Happy MARRIAGES in ireland.

Nowhere save in Ireland is the ideal
marriage o often realized, accord

club in London. In Ireland, says this
person, who, by the way, was IN Ok

times, mo company keeping before
marriage, and no ashes Of disillusion
after. Here, according to ancient
custom, the peasant mother says to
her child: Bridget, get out your
Sunday dress; you are to be married
on Thursday evening" and Bridget
says, Very well, mother These mar

does not know the name of her spouse,

ROOT OF ALL HUMAN SUCCESS
Struggle of the Race to Get Away
from Poverty.

Struggle Of the Race to Get Away
from Poverty.
The struggle to get away from pow
erty has been a great man-developer.
Had every human being been born
with a silver spoon in his mouth-had
there been no necessity put upon him
to work-the race would still be in
its infancy. Civilization owes mere
to- the perpetual struggle of man to
get away from poverty than to any
thing else. 1t is not poverty itself,
but the effort to get away from it,
that makes the man. We are SO con-
stituted that we make our greatest
efforts and do our best work while
struggling to attain that which the
heart longs for. Power is the result
OF force overcome. The giant is made
strong in wrestling with difficulties.
1t Is impossible for one who does not
have to struggle and to fight obstacles
to develop fiber or stamina. ITO live
without trial is to die but half a man."

Violet Once Used as Cosmetic.

Violet Once Used as Cosmetic.
The root of the violet is an emetic,
and may be useful as a domestic rem

forty grains. The infusion of violets
is one of the most delicate tests of
the presence of acids and alkalies.
The former changes it's color to red,
the latter to green. According to
Lightfoot, the Highland ladies of
former times used the violet as a cos

PROSPECT FOR RIVER AND HARBOR FUND

A Washington correspondent says
Of the river and harbor bill to be pre-
sented at the present session of con-
gress:
The river and harbor bill will be
reported to the house of representa-
tives about January IA and will pass
that body the same week. The COM
mittee on rivers and harbors has dis
tributed the proposed items to sub
committees and on December 81 the
whole committee will get together and
begin the actual framing of the bill.
It will probably take two weeks to
perfect the measure.
In formulating the bill the house
committee will strictly observe its
rule to make appropriation for any
project that has not been recommend
ed by the chief engineers and ap-,
proved. by the engineer board of re-
view.
These officers will in turn recon-
mend no appropriation unless the
project has been surveyed and been
endorsed by the local engineers.
There will be absolutely no diversion
from this practice and all states will
fare alike. In like manner the COM
mittee will recommend no appropria-
tions in excess of the amount esti-
mated by the engineers. but in most
instances will materially cut these es-
Inmates.
Only S1,OOO,OOO for Jetty.
This being the case, the committee
will under no circumstances recon-
mend more than 100000 for the
mouth of the Columbia river nor
more than s75O,OO0 for the Cello
canal. Indeed, in view of the very
heavy demand for appropriations
coming from all parts of the country,
il will be very remarkable If the
committee authorizes appropriations
as large as recommended by the en-
gineers.
There is a probability that the i'm
provement of the mouth of the CO.
lumbia river may be made a continu-
ing contract and, If that is done, 1t is
as good as a cash appropriation, in
that II insures continuous construc-
ton until the south jetty is complet'
ed. There is little or no likelihood
that the Cello canal will be made a
continuing contract in the forthcom'
ing bill.
At Coos Bay, where a strong de-
mand has been made for an appro'
priation for a south jetty with a view
to obtaining a depth Of 40 feet on thu
bar, the project has never been rec
commended by engineers, hence nc
appropriation can be made, though
a survey will be authorized and, /
that survey is favorable and Endorsed
by the engineer board, 1t will form
the basis of an appropriation in tn
river and harbor bill of the next con
gress. Likewise at Yaquina bay anC

Ill short time ago when Secretary
G, S, Walker took the matter up with
Senator Warren, who is president OF
the association.
Senator Warren brought the ques-
tion to the attention of the Indian
bureau with the result that Commits
sioner +. f. Leupp has announced
that In the future all contracts for
supplying Indians with provisions will
include mutton. This means a ma
terial increase in the demand for this
western product.
A novel question arose during the
negotiation. 1t being urged by those
opposing the matter that Indians
would not use mutton and in order to
answer the argument Secretary Walk
er cited an incident which occurred in
Wyoming recently when Indians ap-
propriated and devoured a large num-
ber of head of sheep killed by a rail-
road train.
Last spring the Woolgrowers asso-
citation succeeded in having mutton
included in the subsistence supplies of
the United States army so that NUT
ton is now an article of diet for the
American soldier. The work of the
National Woolgrowers' association
will result in a material increase in
the demand for mutton in the United
States.

LAND RESTORED TO ENTRY.
Congressman Mondell Secures Conces-
sion From the President.

Congressman F. w. Mondell has
won a signal victory for Wyoming
and all other western states in which
large tracts of land have been with
drawn from entry, says the Cheyenne
Tribune.
Since last July the department of
the interior has withdrawn at differ
ent times a total of over 16,000,000
acres of land in Wyoming from all
forms of entry, practically reducing
the extent of the land in this state
subject to acquisition and develop
ment over one-fourth.
Recently Congressman Mondell ap-
peared before the president and
pointed out that this land was with
drawn from all forms of entry. Pres
ident Roosevelt replied that he un-
derstood that the land was withdrawn
from coal entry and ordered an inves-
| tigation. This resulted in the discov-
/ cry that MondelPs assertions were
correct and now all local land offices
! in Wyoming have just received tele-
graphic orders to restore this vast do
main to all forms of entry save coal
| filings.

Jackson's Prize Rambouillets.

The flock of IA Rambouillet sheep
which R. A. Jackson sent to the In
ternational Stock show in Chicago,
last month, were returned to this city
yesterday. That Columbia county has
produced the highest priced flock of
Rambouillets in the United States has
been twice proven, the first time at
the st. Louis exposition, where they
captured the gold medal prize, and
the second time at the recent exhibit
ton in Chicago, when out of "a cash
prizes, Mr.. Jackson's sheep took seven
of them.
Considering that there were 10
Rambouillet flocks on exhibition from
Europe and America, the fact that
Mr.. Jackson secured seven prizes is
conclusive evidence that his flock was
far ahead of those of competitors

DOUBLE TRACKS FOR U. p.
Contract for 41 Miles of Grading Soon

The work of making surveys for the
construction next year of Al miles of
additional double track between Raw
Inns and Wamsutter, has been COM
pleted by Resident Engineer George
Maitland, of the Union Pacific, and
his corps OF assistants and the sur
veying party has engaged in the work
has been disbanded, says the Chey-
enne Tribune.
The party is now being reorgan-
lied into small corps which will su-
pervise the construction of the double
track grading, indicating that this
work is to be commenced in the near
future.
All estimates for the work have
been sent to headquarters and it is
expected that contracts will be award
ed by the first of the year for the
building of the big stretch of second
track. Work is to be commenced
early in the spring as the task must
be completed next summer and next
year again hundreds of graders will
be employed along the Union Pacific

No Pull Effective, All TO Be Cut,
This is not case where influence
will operate to change the commit
tees opinions. Its rule is infleXible
and no man in congress, not even the
speaker, will be able to get an ap-
preparation for any project that does
not conform to the committees re-
quirements. The oregon delegation,
like all others, is bound by this rule,
and. while ever possible effort is be-
ing made to get as large appropria-
tions as possible, that is, as large as
have been recommended by the en-
gineers, the delegation cannot pro-
cure anything in excess of those
amounts and will be extremely for
tunate on the whole, If it gets rs per
cent of what is recommended.
over 1900 separate appropriations
have been asked for by the delegations
from various states; the bill as re-
ported will probably contain 400.
Naturally with this heavy cut, part
of it must be expected in oregon.
The congressional delegation, aided by
Senator-elect Bourne, is working daily
in the interest of all projects that have
been approved and is hopeful that
new surveys can be obtained on other
projects that have either been turned
down in the past or have never been
surveyed by the army engineers. No
delegation could do more.

AS TO ELECTION RETURNS,

The following appeared in the
State yesterday morning. This ac-
count will amount to considerable
saving and secure the delivery Of the
election returns as promptly and az
safely rs they would be delivered by
Il messenger. 1t should be stated also
that this amendment was introduced
and passed by Senator Blcase Of New
berry.
In his letter of instructions to the
managers of election, Mr.. r. Maxey
McCown, assistant secretary Of state
calls attention to the following pro.
visions Of the election laws, an amend.
ment passed in 1905 after the last
general election,
"Scc. 221. After the final adjourn
ment Of the board Of county canvas,
scrs, and within the time prescribed
in this chapter, the chairman Of said
board shall forward, addressed to the
governor and secretary Of state, one
copy by mail and one copy by express,
the returns, poll lists and all papers
appertaining to the election.
This section was passed in order to
save expenses. The law had required
the returns to be brought to Columbia
by the messengers of the county
boards, and this was too expensive
for mere formality.
