over In Boston a little while ago
shey put successful undertaken in
charge of the supplies department,
with the result that the Hub has been
buying inferior grade coal at high
grade prices. and the honorable super
intendent didn't know 1t until the facts
were brought out by an investigating
committee. We are not at all sur
prised and for two reasons-frst,
man may be a first rate undertaken
and know the quality OF what he puts
into the ground without necessarily
being an expert on what comes out of
the ground, and. second, Boston should
have known what we all know-that
an undertaken is not the right kind of
a man to have charge of a civic coal
plant. Under the most approved mu-
nicipal ownership ventures it is the
custom to have such things attended to
by milliners and delicatessen men.

Paris, France-to distinguish it from

say. Philadelphia would doubtless

also Boston. but we fear New York.

ITO Be Continued,
West Virginia Climate.

(Morgantown. W. Va. Chonicle.)
II local survey only is had, there
are grounds for the claim OF the
old resident that the climate changes.
In some restricted districts the
cl,ar &c is very merked, due. however,
to local influence. and not to any
thing astronomical or geological.
Let one narrow locality be taken
to illustrate this point The Can
san valley. in Tucker county. was,
up TO about 1884. an almost unbrok-
en- wilderness OF laurel, spruce. hem
lock beech and birch. It's eleya-
ton is from 5000 to s4O0 feet. and
its area about 100 square miles. Be
fore the timber was cut and burnt
off II was usual for the first SHOWS
o. autumn to lie unmelted beneath
the packed laurel until nearly or
quite the first OF June The win
ter SHOWS accumulated to a depth OF
six feet in some years. and nearly
elgsys as much as three or four feet.
The ground was actually covered with
SHOW half the year. The melting
Of this snow kept the waters flush
until late in the spring.
The whole valley has been strip
ped OF It's timber Az and fire
have laid the ground and rocks bare
Probably as much snow falls as in
tho days OF the forest, but It melts
and the ground is laid bare from
time to time during the winter; and
spring is a month earlier than It
Used to be, because the snow van
ishes a month earlier. The
o;e hunters may be found living oil
tho borders of that changed valley
toCay VINO will declare that the sea-
sons are growing mildei, and they
ere right. so far as their little world
extends. So. when we hear some
old resident remark that seasons are
changing. let us, instead OF fatty
oontradicting him, zee II some To-
cal condition may not give him eS.
cuse for his statement
If the unrestrainsd destruction ui
the forests on the mountain ranges
of West Virginia continues for an.
other generation no one will dis.
pate that the climate has changed
The water course will run dry o;

INFAMOUS TIMBER LAW.

1t is utterly inconceivable that con-
gress would ever have passed the tim
ber and stone act If it had realized,
thirty odd years Seo, the rapiditS
with which the then existing forests
We're to disappear, and the use 20
which the act would be put in trans
ferring to few monopolistic hands
the greater part of the timbered area.
The idea then prevailed that the
hest use to which any forest could be
nut was to destroy it; and congress
deemed that it was doing heneficlent
act in so framing the law that as
many persons as possible should have
chance at the timber. Everybody
knows that the chance" has heen
mainly used by people employed IN
thousands to locate claims, ostensi-
bly, for their own use, but really for
the use of the lumber barons.
Yet that infamous law is still un'
rcpealed-kept on the statute book by
the influence of the mnoopolists whose
greed is yet insatiate. though the lana
which they got and are getting of the
| government by fraud, for $3.50 pei
acre, is now worth from $50 TO S20;
per acre and advancing in value every
nonth.-The Talisman.

GUNS FOR "MASHERS."

The chief of police of Alton, Ill,
has issued orders to his force to shoot
down "mashers" who start up flirta-
tons with women on the street AL
ton seems to be particularly infested
with male "mashers." The extreme
measures may be justified.
But what are you going to do with
the female "mashers" who are plen-
tiful in Alton and elsewhere?
How are you going to protect the
helpless. modest men from the wiles
of the villiancus flirt who respects
net family ties, dignified mien, nor
sanity rectitude of conduct
If YOU are going to shoot down male
"rnachers' for making advances on
respectable women, what will you do
with the female "masher" who spreads
her net for unsuspeCting men?
Let there be a square deal.
MASKING is one of the goth century
arts, practiced no less by women than
by men. 1t always requires two to
start a filtration, cit is said by the ex-
perienced.)

A ROMANCE OF THE UMATILLA

The time was autumn. The place
was at the mouth of Tutuilla creek,
a mile west of the present site of
Pcnileton.
The creek then had no name, ex-
cept its Indian designation. PEN
ileton was not dreamed of. Umatilla
county was not named. In fact, Ore
gcn was a vast, uncertain quantity
on the northwest coast, its chief po.
tracy heing the lure of its wilderness
which called adventures into its
charmed borders. from every country
under the sun.
It was autumn, 1852. All about the
mouth Of the Tutuilla glowed the
crimson leaves If the sumach. Pony
trails wound over the sloping hills.
Indi1n tepees. half hidden in the
scared foliage of the trees which firing
ed the river, showed their smoked
fronts 10 the sun.
on the flat near the mouth of the
stream an immigrant train halted for
the night on its westward journey.
For months the train had pushed into
the west. Mountains had been scaled,
deserts traversed. Weary and worn
with the long march, tired of the con-
slant pcrils Of the plains, the detected
Immigrants could not appreciate the
panorama of nature which spread be-
fore them here in the wilderness.
One tent was pitched aside from the
camp There, under the dim shadows
of the hills, en- that autumn night
over half a century ago, a boy baby
was born.
Tender hands of rugged plainsmen
ministered to the mother and child.
The train halted until the mother
could travel then it started westward
once more. and was lost in the grey
hills whose shoulders lie against the
Columbia river.
The day it started on life's tourney
this babe looked upon the mighty Co.
lumNIa and for weeks as the train
toiled westward the murmur Of this
river highway was within its hearing,
day and night.
