A two week's siege of camp-meeting j held by tho M. E. church, South, near J Mr. 1'aintors place in our valley, closed recently, with a number of accessions to the church. Itov. Michaels, the presiding elder, Hev. Fanchor of Sum morville, Kov. Chamberlain of AVnlla Walla and Itov. Crego of Pino, eon ducted tho meetings. Pino Valley people woro loo busy to atlond county fair, but they do fairly well towards increasing the popula tion of their valley, to-wit: Born, to the wife of James Loop, Oct. 11th., a son, a big little boy; to tho wife of Charles Schickratn, October Ihd., twins, a boy and a girl; at tho resi dence of her parents in Pine, Oct., 2nd to tho wife of Byron Craig of Eagle, a son; to the wife of Freeman Steele, Sept., 25th a son. Freeman says he will belong to G. O. 1). P. Mr. Corpe, of Big Creek, who has been teaching in Pino, closed his term of school last Friday and went over to Grando Hondo where he is engaged to teach. His wife preceded him aomo weeks ago to teach in Cove. A Miss Thornton, sister of Mrs Corpo will con tinue the school in the dirtrict in which Mr Corpo closed his term. A younger Miss Thornton is teaching in tho Fair view district and is evidently giving good satisfaction, judging from tho many kind expressions wo hear from patrotiH and pupils. It was our pleas ure to spend a short timo in her school room and we were almost as much in terested in her variety of "busy work" as wcro tho pupils for whoso instruc tion and benefit it was designed. Other schools are in session, ono at Dry creok, Miss Holcomb of Eagle, teacher; one in Sunny Dell district, Miss Leo of Eaglo. teacher ; ono at Pine P. O. taught by O. Kendall, whoso work must bo ap preciated, elso ho would not teach so continuously. Died, in Bakor city, Monday October 3th, Laura Elgin Scott, wife of Mr. Scott, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. .fas. McNutt of Pine valloy, aged near 28 years. Xews of tho sovero ill ness of Mrs. Scott reached hor parents on tho evening of Sept. 510th and her brothers and sisters speedily started for Baker City arriving there on Fri day morning. Mrs. Scott rallied for a timo on seeing near and dear ones around her, and word was sent to her parents that sho was better, but it was only for a short time, tho hand of (lis-ease-(blood poison and pneumonia) was laid too heavily upon her and on Monday morning, surrounded by loving friends sho passed quietly way. Tho body was embalmed and brought to tho homo of her parents, from whence after funeral services conducted by Rev. Crego of M. E. church, South, sho was followed by a largo number of sorrowing relatives and friends to her last resting place in Pino valloy conio tery, near hor old homo. Mrs Scott had been a brido but a fow short months. Sho leaves a husband, a little daughter, by a former marriage, parents, brothers and sisters and friends to mourn her early death. It seems diilicult to realize that one, such a. short timo ago in tho bloom of youth, health, and beauty, has so speedily passed away. Tho mourners have tho sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. Cakrik It. Dovk. Buckles'! Arnica, ialve.

Mr. Edward Whitney has been quite sick, but is recovering under tho skillful care of Dr. J. G. Lewis. Jud Cook and Billy McDougul havo just returned from an extended trip through Idaho.

Professor C. B. Miller, agent of the American Mining Co: has been stay ing in Wciscr several days, says the signal, having returned from his trip to the Seven Devils. During a conversation with a Signal reporter ho was asked if tho contemplated orootion of a smoltor in tho camp could bo depended upon as a certain ty. Ho said: "As far as any man can speak re garding tho future 1 feel safe in assert ing that it is a certainty. Every ono of tho company has decided in favor of a smoltor and that, has been my solo object in visiting tho camp." "Has the machinery, etc., been ordered?" "No, as xt ft 1,!IS nol jr''- Klon" schmidt has boon desirous of waiting until spring, as tho road might bo closed by tho timo it arrived hero; but, as I find that much can bo dono yot this fall and as it will undoubtedly be late next season before anything can be done, I shall do my utmost to havo everything possible dono this fall, in tho way of preparing tho ground, etc. Tt is our intention to put m a Reverboratory furnace, which does away with considerable machin ery." "How do you intend to transport tho material?" "At present 1 could not return a positivo answor. As is well known tho first intention was to transport by boats, but tho Norma has failed, as I almost expected from tho first, as it was cntirelv too lariro and had not enough boiler capacity. I am satis lied that a small but powerful boat of about f0 tons burden would bo suc cessful, and if ono was insufficient another could bo put qn." "I havo read that an expedition has left Lowiston to oxununo tho river with a viow of ascertaining if it wcro not nossiblo to reach tho Sovon Devils by boats from there. Is it true?" "I was up there about four weoks ago and Captain Botham, who I think has boon sent out by the railroad com pany, was about to leave onv his way up tho rivor with snagging implements and a crow, and it was thought thoy would attempt to reach tho Sovcn Devils landing. I look for but little from that direction, hcvovor, as tho cascades are almost too rapid for navi gation. There is ono thing, though, 'that I am inclined to expect before another your, and that is to sco con btruction work begun on it railroad to tho camp. Should this bo tho case it will knock out all idea of boats. A road will certainly bo successful and mako an immense amount of money, tho timber alono of that section being object enough for a road." "From whoro do you expect the road to bo built?" "Undoubtedly from this side and most probab.y up tho Weisor river. If this is done you will seo ono of tho grandest copper camps in the world. Komo havo said that thero were noth ing but "blanket" deposits and that twenty-five feet would tako ono bolow every vein in tho camp. Such is not tho case. Tho shaft on tho Copper Key has now been put down through fifty feet of solid oro which is richer at tho bottom of tho shaft than at tho surface. I expect to sec tho Copper Key, Standard and South Peacock ultimately divergo into ono vein when sufficient depth is attained." Mr. Miller is it vory pleasant and straightforward old gentleman and wo aro satisfied says only what ho believes to bo the truth. Baker Democrat. WAIXIKOTOM. Nawa or the Waek From our Kagular Cor raipoideat at the Capital. Wavhihoton, October'.', Ml. Editor Okkoon Scout: President Harrison, owing to the continued abaenceof hU aocretary ttate. waa ceaapelled to drop every tfciag ehte for tho greater pertiM ef yor m:hool book ad ouppMoe ooll oja) tkie weefc ia erttar Ikatke aaifkt give Gee. Baird, e Mar orto ol to Qom hie ptrttMl atteatie to Ue tory twntel betel. peculiar state of affairs which our minister reported as existing at the temporary capital of Chili, where it was alleged that American citizens were arrested and a guard placed around tho United States minister'? residence. Mr. Harrison is commend ed by members of all parties for tlu manner in which ho acted in this matter. It was represented to him that thero wcro feelings of enmity existing between Minister Egan and members of the temporary Chilian government that should be taken into consideration before he acted officially, and he is reported to havo said : -The personal feelings of Mr. Egan ui i' members of the present Chilian r eminent are not to be thought t i t this time. It is the dignity ii il government of the United Stat '!u demands my first considcr.i'i'c Acting in accordance with that 1 1 Ministor Egan was cabled to demand tho immediate withdrawal of tin- guard from tho U. S. legation and the r lease of nnv American citizen-, that may havo boon arrested, and in no ong timo it was cabled back that the demand had been acceded to. Had -t boon refused Mr. Egan was instruct ed to appeal to Captain Schley of the U. S. S. Baltimore now at Valparaiso for protection, and Captain lichley had received instructions to march his force of marines to Santiago if called upon by tno minister, in standing by his minister Mr. Harrison has tin doubtedly taken n popular step, but tho real question at issue is whether a minister to a foreign country has a right to allow his legation to be used as an asvhnn. Such u thing would not bo tolerated in any European capi tal for an hour, and although it has been tho custom of tho ministers of all countries to allow it to all in tho South and Contral American coun tries whoro revolutions aro so frequent, it is doubted by the best international lawyers whether Minister Egan had any legal right to grant asylum to other than citizens of tho United States. It is stated hero and generally believed that tho Chilian authorities wero controlled by certain European influences which aro antagonistic to tho commercial intorsts of tho United States in this matter. Tho pension ollico is again the center of a perfect maelstrom of accu sation and counter accusation. Three employes of that ollico have made affidavit that young Raum, who re signed somo months ago on account of tho scandal created by the chargo that ho had been ongaged in office broker age, approached them with a proposi tion to havo thorn promoted through his inlluenco with his father, lor a cash consideration. Those affidavits wen carried to Secrutary Noble and h has turned them over to Mr. Harmon. Meanwhile Commissioner. Raum is bj no means idlo. Ho has demanded that Secretary Noble dismiss tho three employes who made the affidavits against his son, and has submitted to Secretary Noblo a lot of document ary evidence which ho claims proves that theto three mon havo entered into a conspiracy to injure him through attacks on his son. The matter will havo to ho settled by Mr. Harrispn, and upon its settlement de pends tho official existence of Com missioner Raum. The Chilian rumpus has had the eircct of further postponing tho vari ous prominent appointments that tho politicians havo been so hungrily expecting over since Mr. Harrison re turned to Washington. Tho efl'cct that small things havo upon largo ones was nevor moro strik ingly exemplified than by tho report of Major Pollock, tho superintendent of tho freo mail delivery system, who has just returned from an examination tour of tho principal freo delivery offices in tho west. Major Polleck says that tho recent abolition of the custom of compelling carriers to count ovcry pieco of mail reooived and dis patched from tho postoilices will result iu u saving to tho government of about $5100,000 a year, and on account of tho timo saved by tho carriers it does away with any immediate need of largely increasing the carrier force in all Motions of the country, as it waa expected aome time ago would nave to be doac.
