A Grim Joke.

The Oregonim in noting the death
of ]. B. COmley, an Oregon pioneer
of the SOS, resident of Albany that
State, at the age of 81 years, relates
the following strange but true story
of the remarkable result of a practi-
cal joke in which the deceased per-
formed leading part. 1t relates
that one night, about forty years
ago COmley was sitting up with q
corpse, together with William Bird,
another pioneer resident of Albany,
and man known locally as Col
Onel' May. While May left the room
temporarily the other two men re-
moved the corpse and Comley took
its place, Bird covering him up with
the shroud. After May returned
Comley began to groan until he had
May thoroughly aroused when he
suddenly rose up in the coffin. May
plunged straight through a window,
ran to the Willamette river, swan
across and disappeared. Though he
afterwards was in the vicinity of AL
bany many times, he never could be
induced to come into the town again.
For the past few years May lived at
independence, dying there last win
ter.

GATHERINGS BY THE WAYSIDE.

The Northwestern Marine Co. is
the name of Il fish and cold storage
company, lately formed with Il capi-
tai of $50, 900 in Seattle.
Fred Wright, Il Seattle boy has
confessed to stealing gold from the
mail sacks which were lately found
at the bottom of the river ut Dawson.
]. W. Shenetford was arrested at
Ritzvile, this week, for obtaining
money under false prctenses. He
sold the Boston store" which pur-
ported to hold full stock of goods,
but when the purchasers came to
handle the wares, they found that
many of the boxes on the shelves
were empty.
A farmer living near Spokane. a
few days ago, sold IL hogs for 81
cents pound, and the cause for this
high price was that the animals were
corn-fed. Mr.. Harigood, their raiser,
has forty acres in corn, which runs
40 bushels to the acre, and he has
found it profitable to turn that pro-
duct into pork.
james Sleeman, a prominent farm
er on the Snake river, near Eureka.
Walla Walla county, died on the
train. last week, shortly after being
placed in car at Wallula en- rontr for
hospital at Walla Walla. Cause of
death, complicated stomach trouble.
He was 30 years of age and leaves a
wife and three children. The dead
man this year farmed 1,400 acres of
land and in another week would have
had his harvesting completed.
From 10 to 80 men, women, girls
and boys, are engaged in harvest
ing the fruit crop of w. A. Toilette,
whose big orchard is near Pullman.
He has had work for 100, but could
not get them, and he estimates loss
from that cause at 10000 boxes,
which would have netted him 50. 1000.
He thinks that he lost at least ID, 900
boxes from frost last spring. Mr..
F. S shipments this season amount to
10 full carloads. He owns his own
sawmill and box factory. Men en-
ployed in the orchards at picking
fruit are paid 81. 80 per day and board.
Girls, who pack the fruit, are paid 3
cents per box for peaches and 6 cents
for pears and fruit in crates. The
girls make from $3.50 to 81 per day
each, but must board themselves.
Careful estimates taken by resi-
dents of the three northwestern
States go to show that the yield of
wheat in Washington this year will
be 40, 900, 900 bushels, of oats 10, ,0O0.-
900 bushels, of barley 1000, 600 bush
els, making a total of 81 900, 600 bu-
shells of cereals. In Idaho where the
grain is principally raised in the
country known as the Panhandle,
the yield is placed at s, 900, 600 bush
els of wheat. 5000, 900 bushels of oats
and 5000. 900 bushels of barley. In
Oregon the expected yield will be
18, 600, 900 bushels of wheat, 9,000,-
900 bushels of oats and 10000 900
bushels of barley, totaling 5000. 900
bushels for the State of Oregon and
making a grand total yield from the
northwest of 101, ,S02, 900 bushels of
cereals whose value is roughly placed
at $66, 4l2, 900, or q per copito value
to the 1850, 900 people in the three
States of $3.50.

PET GOOSE FIGHTS FOR ITS OWNER.
Follows Master Through Crowded Streets
of Washinfton,

A large Chinese goose may be seen
daily wandering along Pennsylvania
avenue, which is apparently following
its own inclinatiOnS in taking q
stroll. Its owner was near, but no
sign of his presence was given until
one friend greeted another by plac-
ing his hands on his shoulders. At
this movement the goose suddenly
darted forward in defense of the man
thus approached.
Doc" is the name of the bird.
" Doc" is his masters pet. He came
to Washington about eight months
ago in a crate filled with geese, and
as soon as Mr.. Bibb saw him he was
chosen for q career that does not US
ually fall to the lot of his kind. But
" Doc" did not realize the hOnors in
store for him. AS soon as released,
he flew away, soaring over the tops
OF buildings until he was lost to sight.
He was recaptured near the Smith
sOnian grounds and returned to his
owner. His wings were clipped, and
there were no more attempts to
escape. Doc longing for liberty
apparently disappeared with his
means to enjoy it, and he has now
taken on many of the habits of a
Washingtonian.
Doc" is a fine looking, swan-like
bird and weighs about twenty pounds.
Almost every afternoon, when the
sidewalks are cool, Doc" is taken
out for a stroll. He usually keeps in
front of Mr.. Bibb, and picks his way
through the biggest of crowds with
apparently no fear of becoming lost
or trampled upon. If his owner be-
Games lost from sight, even for mo-

THE PRICE OF APPLES SOARs.-
The limit in price of apples was
reached at Hood River, Oregon, when
Mr.. Vanderbilt, an orchardist, sold
his entire crop of the Winter Banana
variety of apples for $S per box, the
40 boxes bringing him the neat little
sum of 1920, which is about IL cents
for each apple, estimating Y to a
box, which is a conservative estimate
as many will run only 81 to the box.
or nearly Is cents apiece. This is of
the variety that a box was sent to
President Roosevelt last year. 1t is
OF a delicate yollow, with one side a
deep pink and when ripe has a
flavor similar to q banana.

THE BIGGEST SHIP.
The Lusitania. the LARGEST Floating Palace
Yet launched.

Seen at n distance, the Lusitania
looks, except for her four stacks. like
any other well-moulded ship. AS she
came up the river last week, at the
end of her maiden voyage, q Coney
Island steamer beside her, like a pup
py trOtting beside horse, helped the
thousands of observers better to real
ize her bigness; that her vertical
keel-plate is nearly mans height
and one rivet in it weighs nearly
three pounds; that she is wider than
Broadway and longer than three Or
dinary sky-scrapers laid down end to
end; that each of her tunnels would
do for a double-track railway tunnel,
with trolley-car line on top; that
she turns 1000 tons of coal day
into steam and speed
Faster than the Deutschland the
Lusitania will undoubtedly prove.
If she is two knots faster the condi-
tions of her contract will have been
fulfilled. To get those two knots of
extra speed, even with the economies
claimed for the turbine engine, re-
quires Us, 900 horsepower, where the
Deutschland has 81, 800 and the Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie 49, 900.
The turbine is free from the ex-
cessive vibration that threatened to
stop the race for swifter ships with
ordinary reciprocating engines. None
the less the huge first cost of build
ing a Lusitania, coupled with the
cost of the coal to drive her, seems
to place practical limits somewhere
not very far ahead in the contest for
more speed, unless some new invcn-
ton comes to make the turbine in its
turn obsolete.
Yet it is fascinating thought
how the Lusitania may yet be sur
passed, even as the story of marine
development in the past is full of in
tereSt, from the caravel of Columbus
up to the newest naval monster just
five hundred times rs big

Was detached from its fastenings by
the worst wind storm ever known by
the oldest inhabitant," during the
winter of 1914, and fell in the muddy
street.
A prominent Olympia man while
in Portland, the other day, wished to
board a boat bound for Salem, the
capital of the State. Not knowing
what direction the dock was in,
asked an Old-time citizen citizen of
the burg on the banks of the beau
tiful Willamette, as to the location.
The citizen was nonplused for a few
seconds, but quickly recovering,
looked sadly around, scratched his
head, and with scalding tears cours-
ing down his furrowed checks, fall
ing on his moss-like whiskers, re-
piled:
L cannot tell a lie. We have no
docks; only things we call landing
places"
Wiping away the hot, gushing
tears, as they fell afresh, the old
man. with his moss-like whiskers,
shuffied on down the street.

tremely small piece of pie, and the
coffee was cross, so to speak, be-
tween catnip tea and adulterated
cocoa. After finishing his repaSt, he
asked the waiter, who also acted as
cashier, what the bill was. The
waiter-cashier replied:
Fifty-five cents.

Lincoln COmmoncr.

Up to about 1893, while the high
tariff was an insidiouS means of tax
ing the majority for the benefit of the
minority, it was claimed in its de
fense that workingmen in projected
industries received the greater share
of the steady increase in production.
That is no longer the case.
by 1900 the trust movement was
getting into swing, but had not fully
wrought its astonishing changes. In
ten years the number of manufacture
ing establishments had increased n
per cent, the total capital 30 per
cent. The increase in value of pro-
duct less the cost of raw materials
was "a per cent. the increase in
total wages only % per cent. Pro-
duction and capitalization had both
grown faster than the wage fund
Miscellaneous expenses, sinis-
ter term, rose 81 per cent.
The next five years saw the great
American invasion" of Europe by
cutrate prices. while high prices
were maintained at home by trusts.
In 1905, at the end of this event
iul half decade. combination was in
full swing. The number of estab-
lishments had increased only 4 per
cent, capitalization by Al per cent.
None of the promised economies of
large production had appeared. The
large factories. controlling Sl.5 per
cent. of the nominal capital, en-
ployed only 71.6 per cent. of the
wage workers. The salaries account
had risen by fifty per cent. and the
sinister miscellaneous expenses by
81 per cent.
Wages and product had grown by
almost the same increment, 299 and
29.7 per cent. respectively. but both
were far surpassed by the rise in
salaries, superintendent and mis-
cellaneOus expense, and by the
swollen capital which demands its
profits either in dividends or by 'un-
loading stock upon the public. In
Canada within the same period the
total of wages paid rose by 45 per
cent. but " value product per en-
ploye" rose 81 per cent, the aver.
age individual wage only q per cent.
There also the wage-earner under a
tariff did not get his share of in
creased production or of the econo-
mics of invention.
Mr.. Haldane, the British War Sec
retary, has just placed an order for
400, 900 horseshoes in this country.
HorScshoes are protected by q tariff
of one cent pound. Under that
duty the American buyer of horse
shoes pays considerable higher
price for them than the British army.
This is only one recent example of
the familiar fact of high prices for
home consumption, low prices for the
foreign buyer.
The Standard Oil monopoly is a
fattened child of the tariff. Oil itself
is duty free. In practice the Stand
ard would stamp out foreign competi-
tion as it stamps out domestic COM
petition; and upon many of its more
than a hundred by-products it is
heavily protected. So it too sells
abroad far cheaper than at home.
The tariff duties on potatoes, blan-
kets, knit goods. tin plate, woOllen
yarns and clothing, soap, oilcloth,
linen, glassware, affect directly every
shopping woman; upon thousand
articles they affect her indirectly.
a reasonable reduction of the tariff,
not in 1909, but now, would reduce
in every home the cost of living.
