Dear Mir Goggin; My Arse remem- brance of Santa Claus was five years ago over in Council.
 Everybody told me to be sure to write and let Santa Claus know what I wanted for Christmas.
 was little chechaco girl then liv ing with my mother and father in a log cabin. 1Ox12, on Ophir creek.
 want slate and doll very bad, as I had nobody to play with. and it was miles to Council. scrubbed something on paper and sent it to town with papa to be mailed. O! how waited. Finally one day was told to be sure to come to town Christmas Eve. Everybody was assembled in the old Santa Claus.
 The prettiest Christmas tree I had ever seen. loaded with presents, was in the center of the stage. and a minia ture Santa Claus for the babies to look at while waiting for the real one. Finally we heard ling. ling, ling. and here came the fattest, jolliest look ing fellow I had ever seen. He had all he could do to get throtgh the hole. ecshook hands with the children and tried to get some kisses. but very few of us dared to kiss him.
 He was in an awful hurry as he had to make Candle and other places, but he promised to be back next year. l got a lot of nice things, so. naturally I give Santa Claus a big place in my heart.
 Next Christmas came, and SO did Santa Claus. as he had promised. and I was happy again. for I had written and asked for little baby brother. He came. but whole month after Christ mas for some reason, but he was well come just the same.
 Santa has come every year to me so far, so If he can't find me now since moved to Nome I must remember that he has been so good to me the years be- fore, but dear Santa don't forget that Ophir wants a gun, drum, and an American flag. And I do wish that all the girls could get the doll.

A SANTA CLAUS STORY.

Maybe there are some children that are not acquainted with Santa Claus so would like to say some thing about him.
 There is a little village near the north pole called Santaclauseville. where santa Claus is all the year arpund, an'l where Santa's home is all the year round and where he works making toys and dressing dolls.
 Santa Claus is fat and good natur- ed like all fat people. He has a snow white beard. and his merry blue eyes sparkle like stars. He Is busy making toys for good little children. dishes. bracelets, soldiers, pop guns, babies tin rattles and gay dollies with long, curly hair. They can open their eyes and sit up in a chair. Then he makes with his tools many wonderful things.
 Santa Claus hitches his reindeer to the sleigh and he travels to all the houses. He ties the reindeer to the chimney while he goes down to fill the stockings full of candy, nuts and toys.
 Santa Claus has to hurry to dis tribute his gifts before daybreak. and when Christmas is over he retires to his home for a good rest. We hope him for many years to come. INA LYLE ,

Santa's hair is white, too, but his stars.
 The minute we see his jolly face we shout and laugh for joy, for there seems to be rays of love and happiness shining from him like the sunbeams from the sun.
 He is such wise old fellow that he puzzles us terribly, for he seems to come and go from nowhere so quickly.
 Then when we hang up all our stockings by the fireside and are de- termned to watch for him. in spite of the Sandman's warning. we find he has already been there, and we never got one glance of him.
 He is such fat old fellow I do not see how he can come and go in strange houses without making little bit of noise.
 My father weighs much less than he does but, oh, what poor Santa Claus he would make. for he would stum- ble all over everything in the room when the lights are out.
 When our tree is beautiful with the gold and silver and bright with the lights of tiny candles, l love him best when he comes to us personally, for we carry a happier thought of him for aN,t th,.tu \ inht of tG better than thought of his midnight visits.

Santa Claus. He never seems to get one day old. He is as young today as he was when grandmother was a little girl, and that is quite long time ago. for her hair Is as white as snow. and her dear thin hands tremble so and
 her eyes are so dim that some times 1 had to help her thread her needle.

A STORY OF SANTA CLAUS.

santa Claus is a very jolly old fcl- low. and comes around every year and brings nice toys to the good boys and girls. Santa Claus home is up near the north pole where he is busy cv- cry hour of the day.
 He whistles and sings while he is planning and making the funniest things. He is all clothed in fur from little dolls and big ones, too.
 when Christmas Eve comes hr fills his sleioh with sacks and baskets of toys and gifts which he has been mak- ing throughout the year. When all the children have gone to bed and are fast asleep he slides down the chimney with his pack on his back.
 He looks around to see if they are sleeping, and then he fills the stock ings. which are hanging by the chim- ney, with all sorts of good things.
 Christmas morning the children wake
 
 brought to them. Then they are happy when they see what Santa Claus has filled their stockings with. Then they cry 'IIurrah for santa Gas Come again next year"
 BESSIE LYLE.
 on Christmas Eve we hang our stockings up for Santa Claus to fill He fills them with toys and dolls. and puts all kinds fruit iu them. santa Claus has a very long white beard santa Claus has a parkcy and muck lucks. He has eight tiny reindeer and a sled to carry the dolls and the other toys, which we love better than any thing santa Claus is always smiling and We should try to be like him. He is always jolly and happy He never is bad. Santa brings every good child presents once a year. My friend said: santa Claus is q good man, SO like him because he is the only man that can go down the chimney.' He is the greatest man in all the world.
 on Christmas day we trim our Christmas trees and put on the pretty little C1nd;,s tIet shine s' bright, We put fruit and candy tn make the ire" look pretty.
 When we write letter to santa Claus he never answers. But he brings the things you wrote for. santa Claus comes but once a year. If dear old Santa Claus came every day it would be fine.

Editor Herald: It occurs to me
that the naming and numbering o!
streets should be for the convenience
of people rather than to perpetuate
the memory of unspe.iable and un-
pronouncable names.
1t should be for the purpose of en-
abling people to pass from one point
of city to another with the least
possible difficulty in finding the place
wanted.
Taking this view Of the case, why
would it not be we'll to designate the
north and south streets by numbers
and the east and west streets by the
letters of the alphabet?
Thus, call the street on the east
side of the city First street, then Se..
ond, Third, and so on westward.
Then continue to regard Yakima
avenue as the dividing line and des-
ignate the streets north and south by
letters as A North or A South, Z
North or B South, etc.
In this way we could name twenty.
six streets north and south of this
avenue. Yours for simplicity and con-
venience,
An Interested Newcomer.

Scrap Over Goat.

PARIS, Feb. 25.-Mme. Poisson,
a widow residing in the Seine ct
Marne department, has had an expe-
rience in the city which will result
in curious claim being made against
her. She came to Paris to collect
her dividends and having proclaim
ed them proceeded TO her relatives
IN the Rue de Vanguard,
on the way she became a little
curious as to the notes she had re-
ceiyed and thought she would like
to look at them. One Of the notes
slipped from her fingers and fell to
the ground At that moment a goat,
on the lookout for unconsidered tri-
fies, snapped up the note and prompt
| ly swallowed It. Nine. Poisson seiz-
ed the goat, inquired who was It's
owner, and then led the animal to N.
Derliaz of Lavallois Perret. NJ. De-
rilaz was told what had occurred.
"And, Of course, want my note"
said the widow
NJ. Derlaiz loved his goat, but he
was not an unreasonable man; he
saw that a bank note was of more
Importance than the animal and he
did not hesitate as to the course to
be taken. The goat was led to the
Vanguard abattoir, where it was put
to death. The stomach was ripped

was found and given to the widow.
Naturally, NJ Derlaiz seeks to be
lndemnified for the sacrifice Of his
goat Apparently the widow does
not see where the indemnity should
come in, for a lawsuit is imminent.

Hop Market.

While the hop market is not any
stronger at the close Of the week,
as indicated by the prices offered
and accepted, according to reports
from the coast, 1t presents, on the
whole, better appearance with the
revival of activity in several sections.
The temperance of the two Horsts
in the market has been accompanied
by the entry Of other buyers in the
field, and still more are expected to
be operating in the coming week
There is no rush to buy, however
and someof the orders will be filed
at the dealers leisure, unless prices
give an indication of taking an up
ward turn.
The purchases in the WOODBURY.
section by Lachmund & Pincus, as
reported in this paper yesterday, were
confirmed, and it was also learned
that the same firm bought the Rilg
Cooper lot of 220 bales and the
Grigsby lot of about 800 bales at
independence. The price was said
to be 91s cents for the Cooper lot
and 9A cents for the Grigsby hops
Wolf & Son. of Silverton, were
also heavy buyers, securing the fol
lowing lots, all at 10 cents: Elton
lot, 125 bales; McCooley lot, SIS
bales; Cooper lot. 81 bales; ]. c.
Barnes lot. Isl bales. The Barnes
lot was secured at Gervais, the Others
at Silyerton.
A fair amount of contracting IS
being done, and some new bushes
of this character was closed in the
last few days by Lachmund q Pin
Gus at II cents.
The attitude of the growers to-
ward the spot market is still one Of
more or less Indifference. Very few
are willing to sell under 10 cents,
but this figure or slightly more
would, it is said, bring out enough
hops to supply all current needs.
