Aside from the Milton Freewater
section, who wants the county divid-
ed? Only personal interests in that
locality would receive any benefit
whatever from division. And yot
there is on the statute books Of the
state a distorted law that will give
the voters of Ashland and every other
voting precinct in Oregon the privi-
lege of mixing in aud voicing either
for or against an issue that concerns
vitally only the people OF Umatllla
county. OF all the mis6ts that an
Oregon legislature has ever perpet-
rated on its constituency, this state
vote on county division is the limit
What does Long Creek care whether
the dividing line runs up Water street
in Weston or down Fifth street in
Athena? Where is there any Justice
in appealing to the ballot decision OF
a Wingville cowboy or North Powder
saw mill man as to whether or no old
UmatIlla shall be out in twain at the
pleasure of handful of Milton prop
erty owners, that their interests may
be enhanced in value at the expense
of the great majority who always
have been and are now opposed to di-
vision? Our wisdom utterly fails in
comprehension. so we pass it up to the
Almighty and the young lawyer from
Indiana.

A Bit of Correspondence.

The following correspondence, end
ing in true Irish fashion, actually
passed between two men in England
some years ago:
"Mr. Thompson presents his compli-
ments to Mr.. Simpson and begs to re-
quest that he will keep his doggs from
trespassng on his grounds"
"Mr. Simpson presents his compli-
ments to Mr.. Thompson and begs to
suggest that in future he should not
spell dogs with two gees"
"Ir. Thompson's respects to Mr..
Simpson and will feel obliged if he
will add the letter e. to the last word
in the note Just received, so as to rep
resent Mr.. Simpson and lady,"
"Mr. Simpson returns Mr.. Thomp-
sons note unopened, the impertinence
it contains being only equaled by its
yulgarity."

A Walla Walla booster is respons-
ible for the following: ''The average
Walla Walla farmer buys canned and
dried California fruit and canned
Eastern vegetables. He gets up at the
alarm OF Connecticut clock, fastens
his Chicago suspenders to his Detroit
overalls, washes bis face with Eastern
soap in Pennsylvania washpan; sits
down to a Grand Rapids table and eats
Indiana hominy fried in Eastern lard
on st. Louis stove. Then he puts a
st. Louis blidle on Missouri mule
and plows with an Illinois plow.
When bed time comes he reads chap
ter from Bible printed in Chicago,
says a prayer written in Jerusalem
and crawls under blanket made in
New Jersey only to be kept awake by
a Walla Walla dog. which is about
the only home-raised product on the
place. 'Hurrah for Home Industry!' +"

tion should take care of its own pro-
lection. Milton asked for certain
sum and the county court granted
81 1,010 out Of the county funds. Now
Mr. Wheatraiser, should a flood come
along and wash ditch through your
land. would you call on the county
for funds to I'll it up? Again, with
"Orchard" county 10 existence, in
consideration of the above facts, it is
only fair to conjecture that Millions
$500 per acre land would get all the
assistance from the new county court
that its owners would ask for. To the
victor belong the spoils, and for the
reason that Milton has been the hot
bed of division for 20 years, to the
writer's certain knowledge. it is only.
natural to suppose that she would go
out and get 'am.

even though they may not have devel-
oped them into elaborate and scientific
systems.
A foreigner, especially If he be of
prepossessing appearance, is received
with great civility at Chinese bank.
"Schroffn' shouts the head clerk This
word is not, as it sounds. German, but
a corruption Of Hindoo "sarraf," or
bankers assistant In response to this
call a native cashier appears, noiseless
and deferential, with smooth shaven
skull, four foot pigtail and a spot
less, flowing garment.
With great rapidity he will make an
exchange of notes. doing his calculat-
ing on an abacus, frame of wire and
beads similar to those used in country
schools everywhere years ago. His
long, 1.-the fingers move over the beads
more quickly than the eye can follow,
but there's no mistake In the total.
Perhaps the visitor will want large
piece of money changed into small
coin. Instead of going through the
wearisome operation of counting out
the 800 pieces included in this trans
action a simple, ingenious device is
employed. A fat wooden tray is pro-
duced containing hundred recesses,
each just big enough to lodge one coin
and just shallow enough to prevent the
possibility of two lurking together.
The pile of small coins is poured out
on this tray, and with one jerk of the
clerks wrist the hundred recesses are
filled and the surplus swept off.-Har-

THE FINAL POSE.
Il Made the Thing Harmonious and
Conplete All Around

Il Made the Thing Harmonious and
Complete All Around.
In the early days of travelling by
stagecoach across the Rocky noun
tains the trip was likely to be relieved
Of monotony by incidents of no ordi-
nary occurrence. But the fatigue of
the journey was apt to wear upon the
nerves of the weak and the timid.
Sor etimes the passengers became SO
worn out as to lead to a suspicion of
their sanity. The Right Rev. D. S.
Tuttle in his "reminiscences of Mis-
sionary Bishop" describes an instance
in point.
One forenoon the coach rolled into
Denver, and the six horses came pranc-
ing up to the office of Wells, Fargo &
Co. A large crowd was assembled, as
the incoming and the outgoing of the
daily coaches were the great events
for the town.
At the stop the only passenger quick
ly threw open the coach door, leaped
to the ground, ran hurriedly across the
street and, turning a handspring
stood on bis head with his heels up
against supporting wall.
Several men followed him, quite sure
that here was another passenger GRAZ
ed by the long, sleepless ride. One
said to him In tone of sympathy,
"Why, cap'n, what's the matter?"
Slowly coming to right side up
posture. the man answered: "Well, my
friend, I'll tell you what it is. This
standing. on my head is the only posi-.
tion which | haven't been in during
the last twenty-four hours in yonder
coach, and wanted to make the
thing harmonious and complete all
round"

Mr.. Neal, in his county division
speech, made no allusion to the num-
ber of miles of river dyking Milton
property owners will demand of the
new court of "Orohard" county. 1t
is essential that the people have all the
facts, and Mr. Neal should furnish
them, in view of the fact that prop
erty owners along the Walla Walla
river in Milton and vicinity asked for
funds from the county treasury to be
used in dyke construction for the pro
lection of private property valued at
from $500 to $1,000 per acre. In SEN
sible way, the proposition was handled
on the basis that land of that valua.
