PEOPLE YOU MEET ABOARD
SHIP.

A ship is curious altogether;
place of narrow limits and close
contact, yet full of subterranean
depths from which surprises may
develop at any moment. Ship life,
on the whole, is not like other life,
and ship characteristics do not al
together resemble those on land,
says Outing Magazine. Anything
special in that line is pretty sure to
develop on cruise like this, and a
ship estimate of the average
human being would hardly
be fair to the same individ

such an irresponsible life, sooner
or later the ego is bound to leap in
to the saddle and go the gait, some
times to the comfort, often to the
entertainment, now and then to the
sorrow, of the other passengers.
Take the Porpoise, for instance.

PALMS MOVED 500 MILES.
Interesting Survivors of the san
Francisco Fire.


A difficult undertaking and one
which required the work of six men
for nearly two weeks was recently
accomplished in California, when
two tbirty-foot palms were moved
from the abandoned residence of
II. +. Huntington, on the top of Mob
Hill, San Francisco, and transported
distance of 500 miles to his new
residence at Los Robes, near San
Gabriel, Cal.
Palm moving is common occur
renee in California, says Horticul-
ture, but it is not likely that any
have ever been moved so great
distance with so much success. Each
palm when boxed weighs eighteen
tons and string of ten horses were
required in order TO transport the
palms to the railroad station, dis
lance of two miles, through some of
the busiest streets in San Francisco.
The palms figured were also of
more than ordinary interest to the
citizens of San Francisco, having
stood there for more than twenty
years. In addition to this fact they
might be classed as most interesting
relics of the earthquake-fire of 1906,
at which time Mr.. Huntington's mag
nifcent residence was destroyed.
along with everything in that dis
trict
The fire stripped the palms COM
pletely of their foliage, leaving only
the bare and blackened stems. Since
that time in the course of three
years fresh growth has been made
by them, new well developed crowns
have appeared and they bid fair to
become two of the most interesting
objects on the Huntington estate.

THE CONTROVERSY
LUMBER.
AS TO
THE,

Get the lumber situation. The
old law--the Dingley law-required
lumber entering our ports to pay 81
per thousand The house, at the re-
cent session, cut this to 81. An
effort was made, however, to admit
lumber free, and our Mr. Henry
supported this proposition. When
the bill got into the senate, a motion
was made to increase the house rate
from 81 to $t.50. Mr.. Bailey voted
for this increase and it prevailed.
When the bill went to the confer
ence committee, the president took
a hand and induced the committee to
put the rate at SIPS, This is the
crux OF the controversy between
Henry and Bailey, the one favoring
duty-free lumber and the other ia
voring the higher as against the low

RULING WHICH EFFECTS

In connection with the proposition
pending for an issue of $3.50, 900 of
bonds for road building within the
Hillsboro justice precinct question
arose as to whether in the event OF
issuing the bonds any part of the
proceeds could be used for work with

Such towns, cities and villages would
necessarily be taxed to pay any bond
