THE TIME OF HIS LIFE.
jerry Struck Il Rich and Had tIls
Fling For One CIorioua Dav.

ring ror One Glorious Day.
One calm night in 1897" said
Edward Hughes of Seattle, sthe
Portland sailed into Seattle harbor
and quietly dropped anchor. Next
morning some roughly clad men
went about town, showing to
friends here and there handfuls of
gold nuggets. Before nightfall the
story Of the Klondike was known
in every household in town, and it
seemed nine out of every ten men
were arranging to go there. Sen
ators, lawyers, preachers, doctors,
policemen, clerks-men of every
stamp rushed feverishly around
town purchasing outfits and arrang-
ing for transportation to Skagway.
Among the crowd was hackman,
an honest, hardworking chap, who
lived up one day what he'd earned
the day before, as most of us were
doing at that time.
"Jerry left his wife behind to
look after the kids, telling her when
he made his pile they'd live like
duke and duchess. The duchess to
be took in washing to feed the
dukes children, and she had pref
ty tough time doing it. By and by,
when Mrs. Jerry would have
snapped her title for a sack Of
flour, jerry bounced in with the
goods. He'd made stake-several
thousand dollars. Then he began to
show 'em. It was one day per-
Torrance and the biggest thing in
town while it lasted. He got some
rainbow clothes for himself and a
plug hat. The duchess was allowed
to select her own regalia and that of
the children. It was loud enough to
distract attention from a brass
band.
ssThen Jerry bought him fine
vanished hack, the best he could
find in town, and sleek draft horses
with long, flowing tails. Next he
chartered the most dignifed and
English looking jehu he could find,
bought him new suit with big
brass buttons and tall tile with a
shamrock on it. The top Of the
hack was thrown back SO all could
feast their eyes on Jerry and his
decorated family.
''The dignifed driver had his route
mapped out through the principal
business and residence streets and
was instructed to drive slow. Jerry
had nothing to hide. He and his
wife bowed as their eyes encoun~
tered acquaintance, as much as to
say:
"Now, just cast your eyes on
this and tell us what you thinkY
cat noon the gorgeous equipage
was stopped in front of high
toned restaurant and a mental dis
patched after good things for Mr..
and Mrs. Jerry and the little Jerrys
to eat. The meal was brought to
the hack by obsequious walters, and
the occupants calmly ate in the
presence of a cheering multitude.
When the family had concluded
their repast and had decorously
washed their fingers in the bowls
and dried them Jerry tipped the
walters a ten dollar gold piece each
and then lighted a twenty-five cent
cigar and drove magnifcently away.
GA few days later l saw him
standing alongside his hack at the
old stand, soliciting trade as he for
merly did. But he had had his fling
for one glorious day and was en-
tirely satisfied" st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Oxygen Gas.

Oxygen was first separated from
the red oxide Of mercury by DR..
Priestley in 1774 and by Scheele,
who was quite ignorant Of Priest
ley's discovery, in 1775. This great
supporter Of animal life and Of COM
bustion is the most abundant Of all
substances, constituting, as it does,
about one-third Of the solid earth
and forming about nine-tenths Of
water and one-ffth Of the atmos-
phere. Oxygen was iquefed By
Raoul Pichet at Geneva IN 1877.

WILL BUILD
A fine PLANT
AT PORTLAND

This Mornings Oregonian says:
Ground was broken Monday for
the new car shops for the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company on
East Seventeenth and Bismark
streets, where the company will
build its 100000 plant. The COM
pany purchased recently a large
tract of land at this point and will
concentrate its repair and car build
ing shops there.
Excavating for the foundations of
the four principal buildings is under
way Grading has also been started
for a wide-gauge track to be laid on
Bismark and Milwaukee streets to
the car shops. This track will con-
meet with the Sellwood line on Mil
waukie street The company also
bought the lot at the northeast cor
ner Of Bismark and Milwaukee
streets, and is cutting away the bank
there, so that the track from Bismark
street may be swung around to
connection with the Sellwood line.
Grading has been started for
narrow-gauge line on East Sixteenth
street to connect the narrow-gauge
system with the car shops. This
spur will connect with the Brooklyn
car line. By this plan both the wide
and narrow-gauge lines of the city
will have connection with the new
car shops now under construction.

Honest Medicine Yersns FnLes.

President Tafts recent message
suggesting an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in its relation to
prepared medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical pro-
fession itself as the best known rem
edial agents for the diseases they are
intended to counteract. For over
three decades Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound has been a standard
remedy for coughs, colds and affec-
tions of the throat, chest and lungs
for children and for grown persons,
and it retains today its pre-eminence
above all other preparations of its
kind. Foley Kidney Pills are equally
effective and meritorious.
For sale by Red Cross Pharmacy.

BEN OLCOTT
A TWO THIRDS
MAJORITY

When Governor West, in his tour
of the state, this afternoon passed
into the state of California, Secre-
tary of State Olcott, for a few hours
had thrust upon him, by the law the
duties of the Office of governor, as
well as that of secretary of state, and
it might also be incidentally re-
marked that at a meeting of one of
the boards this afternoon he consti-
tuted majority, in contemplation of
the law.
Governor West, together with
State Treasurer Kay, Attorney-Gen
eral Crawford and State Engineer
Lewis, is making tour of inspection
of the various irrigation projects in
the state. In making train connec-
tions it was necessary for the party
to go to Weed, California, this after
noon, and that carried him out of the
boundary lines of the state from to
5 o'clock The law provides that
whenever the governor is out of the
state the secretary of state shall dis
charge his duties, and during those
few hours Olcott was governor.
Also Majority at Board.
A peculiar coincidence to the
above is the fact that there was
