Lake Gone, but Not Odor.

Rainier-Desiring removal of small
lake on the property of Thompson &
Thompson, bankers, near Goble, the
caretaker obtained permission to drain
the pond by blasting out the bottom.
The blasting worked all right, and near
ly all the water was let out, but as a
result the dead bodies of the thousands
of fish, perch and bass, among them
send up such an evil odor that the care
taker was forced to move to the far
end of the ranch.

Tax Payment Contested.

Oregon City-The county court took
under advisement the conditions relat-
ing to the unpaid taxes of the Oregon
& California Railroad company. The
property of the company in Clackamas
county was assessed at such a figure
that the taxes amounted to about $780,
900. The first half was paid last
spring, but the company declined to
pay the second half on the ground that
some of the holdings had been assessed
as timbered lands and the timber had

the corporation is operating about
seventy per cent. Of normal capacity

as production.
"A representative Of the Standard

"a representative Of the General
Electric Company says the corpora
ton since February has been receiving
orders at the rate Of between $751;
100000 and $5~3,0OO,0O0 a year and
that orders in the current fiscal year
are likely to reach 100000, 900, or
equal to the boom year.
John A. Topping, chairman of
the Republic Iron and Steel Company,
says all the blast furnace capacity
of the corporation is operating and
seventy-fve per cent. Of the finishing
capacity.

THE DATE O full RECOVERY.
A Pittsbure Estimate on the Progress Of Trade
tie on the
Revival.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Opinion differs as
to when the country's business activ-
ity will be such as to pronounce it
fully recovered from the a~fter-panic
reaction. Increased producing capac-
ity, as compared with 1907, in the
steel trade especially, naturally raises
the level on which conditions must
now be Judged "A few weeks ago it
was estimated that it will be the end
of. 1911 before full capacity would
be engaged. Several things have
since come in sight to affect the pre-
diction. If good crops are harvested
this year, trade authorities now pre-
dict that the first half Of 1910 will
see a remarkable expansion in de-
mand for iron and steel, as compared
with the present situation, and they
believe sufficient business is at hand
to keep eighty-ive to ninety per cent.

OF the capacity Of the country in op-
Grafton. AS compared with 1906 and
1907, this would be equivalent to
about 100 per cent.
One thing that must be reckoned
with next year, providing the tariff
is not revised to the liking Of the
country, Is the Congressional cleo
lions. The speeches made by Sena-
tors Cummings, Dolliver, Bristow and
others have been overlooked as pos
sible factors in the near future. A
Democratic House Of Representatives
elected next year, and converting in
December, 1911, might affect bust
ness conditions considerably. Far
sighted manufacturers desire that the
question be settled definitely, even If
they must give up a larger proportion
of their protection than was antici-
pated.

A MOTHER CATS ANGER.

You may like to read about my
little cat, which had five kittens. We
could not keep so many kittens, and
we did not like to drown them, so
my brother tried to get homes for
them.
From the time that he gave the
first kitten away the mother showed
great dislike for him. Every time
he went into the kitchen she would
grow big and furry and make a queer
noise.
When he took the third away she
few at him. stuck her long nails in
his4fesh and tried to get at his face.
At last we had to give her away,
with her two little kittens. We were
very sorry for her. Mother told us
that he actions only showed that her
instinct to keep and protect her young
Is the same as in any mother.
Since that happened we have had

THE FATE OF CURIOUS COUGARS.
Several weeks ago a cougar, meas

lowed Miss Mary Burr, the teacher
of the school at M~essiers, in the edge
of the Rainier forestry reserve, from
near the schoolhouse until she met
with a forestry ranger who, with 9TH
ers, subsequently ran down and killed
the animal. Saturday Miss Burr
went to visit a neighbor and suddenly
became. aware that another cougar
was following her. She first saw
the animal ahead of her, but later she
saw it in the path behind. She huf-
ried ahead to her destination, and a
hunting party composed Of ]. V. Cook
and A. Fenton, with several dogs,
started In pursuit. The dogs found
the trail Of the cougar, and after fol-
lowing a short distance freed it. Cook
shot and wounded the animal. which
dropped to the ground and was
pounced upon by the dogs. It in
stantly killed one Of the dogs with it's
terrible claws and teeth, though Cook
and Fenton were both trying to shoot
1t. but in the scufne between it and
the dogs found but little opportunity
to do SO without shooting the dogs.
