No Time to Walk.

A boy ont cutting wood on one
OF the steep hillsides near Newport
heard call from home to get some
water for the cook, dropped his aN
and started for the house. Just as
he started huge black bear rose
up on her hind feet and began
champlng her teeth at him. The
lad let out yell that made sound
wave that would reach the Philip
pines and jumped for home. Tn
fortunately his toe caught and he
fell 20 feet or more down hill He
did not have time to get up and
walk but rolled circus fashion ON
down to the doorstep aud jumping
inside told the startled people that
a big hog had chased him. The
gentleman he was working for took
his gun and went to the spot where
the lad received his fright and
found that an old bear and a cub
had been there, but were perhaps
frightened more than the boy and
had decamped.

II Was a Joke.

The biggest joke measured by
latitude aud longitude and by the
degree Of mirth II provoked was
perpetrated in Hood River. Hood
county Oregon Thursday Of last
week. About 10 o'clock a ,tele.

prospective candidates in the city O

candidacy for ----- OF
Hood River county manning the
office) signed Geo Il. Chamberlain,
Gov. Every man jack Of them
took a hike TO meet the governor
thinking that he had the inside
track with strong pull. No. ar.
rived, but no Gov. and II dawn
ed upon the prospectiyes that they
had been buncoed. Some OF them
took il so to heart that they went
to The Dalles in the next county to
avoid publicity in getting back to
their offices. The Hood River
News Letter says that Seneca 5.
Fouts stood across the track with
a smile on his face like a harvest
moon. That is all that needs be
said, lie owed il to Hood River
boys to even up for the badger
Joke they put up on him about
year ago. Sen is even.

A Talk With Our Readers.

BY way of hint, we wish to
say to Our good friends who may
owe the Review a little bill, that
we will receive this week or next
a linotype machine. 1t Is not very
big but it costs quite bunch, and
when our collector comes around
this month we hope you will go
down into that stocking leg and
cheerfully pungle up that which is
due the poor devil of printer, SO
that he will be able to meet his
engagements. We will continue
to make the Review bigger and
better just as rapidly as our friends
will enable us to do so. We should
have changed the form Of the
paper the first Of the month had II
not been for the "house cut" we
are running which is a seven col
umn cut sent us by the contractor
instead of a six column we con-
tracted for and which runs to the
end of the month and we cannot
therefore change until then.
We shall, at an early date, in-
augurate a subscription voting con-
test the prize for which will be a
paid up scholarship in some busi-
ness college. We wish to enroll
contestants in St. Johns, Linnton
University Park, Portsmouth and
Tualatin valley. On July Ist the
subscription price Of the Review
was advanced to Sr.so per apnum
as announced recently. In spite OF
the great advance in the price OF
paper and other printers supplies
we have held the price down after
every other paper that we know OF
in the country has advanced the
price of their publications to 81. SC
and 81 per annum. In view OF
the many changes we are making
in the plant and in the paper
however, we are forced to step up
in line with the others in the price
also. We will promise however,
that the price is not the only thing
that will be advanced in connection
with the paper, but we will add to
its interesting features in a greater
ratio than we have added to the
price.
TO those who will enter this
contest we will give a liberal com.
mission on new cash subscriptions
and renewals collected for aud to
the most energetic aud successful
solicitor, in addition, the scholar.
ship. This will be worth working
for and may be the means Of fitting
some one for a success, ,ful battle
with the hardships of after life.
For any further information call a,

River county. The Judge is a
bright young lawer and we congrat-

Reformation Needed.

1t is strange that men will not
learn from the observation of the
experience of others. A man will
see another begin to tipple, gradual
ly the appetite for drink will grow
upon him until, before he is aware
of it, he is under its control and
doomed to a drunkard's grave.
The same rule applies to nations as
to men. Nations will learn from
the fate of other nations no more
than will one man learn a lesson
from the result of another mans
action. Unless there is a reform
alton in the life of this nation 1t
will go just as the Grecian, the
Roman, the Egyptian nations went
in the centuries of the past. 1t
takes no prophet to tell the result
of Our dissipation, Our inordinate
greed for wealth, our legalized
enslaving Of the poor to increase
the wealth of the rich. Just so
surely as it brought revolution
bloodshed, destruction of the ma
tions mentioned, will it bring the
same result with our nation. We
may not live to see il but our child
rem or their children will. One or
two generations with the increasing
disregard for righteousness the grow
ing indifference for human life, and
disrespect tor the property rights of
others will bring anarchy, and the
red rag Of revolution will take the
place Of Old Glory. there should
not only be good government
league in st. Johns, but National
organization along the same lines.

Poultry Pickings.

Keep on fighting the army Of lice.
Keep the house as cool as possible.
Shady hooks are ielished by hens.
The most profitable hens as a
rule are not the stylish ones.
During hot weather special care
should be taken not to overcrowd
nor overfeed.
Filthy houses are doubly danger
Gus during hot weather.
II will pay to clean the droppings
each morning.
Separate the growing eockerels
from the pullets.
This Is good time TO dispose Of
the old stock that is not needed.
The price for dressed ducks is not
so high as last month.
The prices are good for roasting
fowls.
Keep the eggs in a cool celler.
BE on the lookout for rats, weasles
aud coons.

Made a Record.

J. IL. Young made thorough
canvass of the city this week and
made record of every vacant res
idence IN the corporation. also
every vacant store building and
vacant office room, There were
65 residences, 40 store rooms and
~ Office rooms vacant This is
certified to 10y affidavit
There is one thing that gives St
Johns a bad look on the surface
just now and that is, that the peo-
pie who had a little money in the
banks and became scared during

get their money put it into residen-

own their own homes and the rent.

measure. This is really benefit
TO the city, for while there is at
present more empty houses than
ever seen IN ST, Johns before, the
new homes added by the dozen TO
the city during the past year are
permanent addition 10 the property
value of the city. Every induce
ment should be made to the home
seeker TO come here and build, not
rent, While this seems like knock

rent, il really is a boost for them.

The Size OF Babylon

The report of the German Orien
tai Society of the extensive explor'
alton carried ont OH the ruins ol
ancient Babylon, which has jus,
been issued under the editorship ol
Dr. Friedrich Deli,zsch, is docu'
ment Of more than usual interest.
Perhaps one OF the most astonish'
ing discoveries in the field Of ,opog-
raphical research has been the trac.
ing Of the walls OF the city and the
ascertainment of its true size.
wonderful descriptions of the size
OF Babylon have been given, based
chiefly on the hearsay evidence OF
llerodo,us, in ancient times, aud
the theories OF the late DIR. Oppert.
These writers made the city vas,
paralcllogram, surrounded by q
wall so miles long and 100 fee,
high, with 100 gates, and bisected
10y the Euphrates, According to
them, the area was about as large
rs London and Paris together. OF
some 10 square miles. All this
wild conjecture has been swep,
away.
The exploration OF the walls
commenced al the Babel fort, and
here was found a wall IS feet
thick, with butlresses every 90 feet.
The line OF the wall was traced TO
the ives, and joins the quay on the
banks of the river. This portion
was pierced by only one gate, the
gate OF lscar, ilanked by tall towers
decorated with frieLes of lions aud
dragons in encaustic tile work. On
the north il was traced to the river
bank, The whole inclosure cover
ed an area OF a little over one
square mile, OF roughly that OF our
City of London.
In the kasr, or ''palace" mound,
were found the remains OF two
great palaces, one built by Natup'
alassar, aud the other by Nebuch-
adncIlar. Both were most complex
IN plan, containing hundreds rooms
ior the accommodation of retainers,
officials of the royal family, The
two palaces are separated by a
street, The later or new edifce is
is on the eastern side and consists
Of several groups of chambers, ar
around quadrangles separ-
lled by strong walls and gateways
The largest of these is a royal quad
Tangle, entered by a double gate
way,
On the south side of the square
IS the northern facade of the royal
audience chamber OF Selamlik. This
.acade was 10 feet wide, and had
been richly decorated with floral |
designs in enameled brick in yellow
md white, blue and black.
