A MOUNTAIN MYSTERY. Cache Containing 47 Ounces of Gold nd $7,000. A queer story comes from ' Dry Creek to a Walla Walla paper. It is to the effect that in the mountain fastness somewhere there is Kecre ted in a hollow log golden wealth extracted in an early day from the moving sands of the Columbia. So far not many have been let into the secret that any such treas ure is hid away in the neighbor hood. And for a loiig time the in formation was in the possession of but one young man, the, discoverer of the clue, and he kept his own counsel so long as hii thought there was any chance of his uncovering the valuable metal. ;. The young man's name is C. M. Churchill, and he gets his mail at Dixie, Wash. He is ft wood-chopper and has been industriously working up huge fir trees into cord wood the past winter. It was while engaged in this occupation that Mr. Churchill discovered in a spruce tree, 50 feet frcp the ground a block of wood, enclosed in which was a mysterious JetteV. The block had been split, carved out on the inside and nailed together again with what appears to be steel pins from cigar boxes. Through one end of the block a hole had been cut with a knife. It appears that after this it was burned on the out side, which was probably to re move any apperance of newness which its manufacture might leave, and thereby render it less con spicuous. It looks as if the limb had failed up the hole m the block and then died. The letter is writ ten on Bcrans of paper Vwhich was evidently torn out of a note book, and some of the lines are very dim. lne words aro spelled by the phonetic system, if by any system at all. One end of the sheet of pa per has been burned. This is where the hole : was cut through 1 the block that it might be hung on . - . j . .... - the limb. : The strange writing was as fol 0W8: .

Stone on from corvalis oregon the is 7'000 dolers in a purs hid close to the gold. t ' The spot where this was found is remote from any trail ;or lino of travel. It is a heavy wooden draw at the head of a canyon far back in the mountains. D. Stone the writer had evidently'-taken refuge there from the Jlndians. ; Why he did not go to Fort Walla Walla and avail himself of the protection of the army, which had but a short time previously been stationed in the valley, we can only conjecture. He may have feared to expose him self to view or he may have had good reasons for not joining the prospectors at Walla Walla. Those were promiscuous times. ' In 1863, when the letter was de posited, Walla Walla was a new settlement, simply a station for miners to gather in the winter time and to lay .in supplies for the sum mer prospecting. It was about this time that we are told "'a man was served for breakfast every morning." Gambling was the chief amusement and it was no un common thing to see men shoot at one, another across the street or across a card table. This was the ad vance guard of a higher civiliza tion and it required men of juBt such character to prepare the for those who should follow. way DON'T STOP TOBACCO.

Adams has a sensation, and one less population, says the East Ore gonian The story is told by the young wife, who is the most deeply wronged by the transaction und she cares not where her husband may have gone. Mr. and Mrs. G. Halsell were married in Adams in August of 1892. Halsell came from Missouri in . ISill. ; The young coupie lived in Adain and all seemingly went well. , Last Sunday a young lady residing at Adams visited the home of the Halsell, dined with them and after night had begun to settle, started down the railroad track alone. Mr. Hal sell soon starlcd in the same direc tion, in fact directly on the young lady's trail and Mrs. Halsell was suspicious. She in turn etarted on her husband's trail anc develop ments followed which caused a family rupture. Young Mrs. Hal sell returned to town and herself related what she had seen, making no attempt to conceal the fact that the facts were of a nature to crimi nate her husband. That individ ual concluded he was not wanted in these ; parts any longer .and during the night left, in what direction is. not known. Mrs. Hal sell is left with a young child about one year old, but declares she has no desire to trace the whereabouts of her husband. , So Says the Law. County Clerk' Burroughs has sent for and received from Secre tary of State Kincaid a certified copy of the law regulating fees to be collected by county clerks for filing papers in legal proceedings. The substance is: ... In any suit for enforcement of private rights, the county clerk shall extract from the plaintiff $10 when amount in controversy ex ceeds $100; when $50 or Jess $5, except in probate proceedings, when $10 shall be tequirod befofb filing any petition. No instrument shall be filed before such amount is paid. For. filing ' answer, dumerrer, or motion by the defendant, the am ount collected by clerk shall bo $5 if the amount involved be more than $500; if less than $500, $3 shall be collected, except in pro bate proceedings, . when . the amount the clerk collects shall be $5. When suit or action comes on for trial, or on demurrer, an addi tional sum ot $2 shall be collected No instrument shall be considered legailV) filed unless the fee shall have been paid. You need a blood purifier. W make this assertion with confi dence, because it is a fact that there is scarcely one person in ten thous and whose blood is free from hum ors, scrofula, acids, or some taint, either hereditary or acquired. Pimples, boils, blotches, eruptions, are not the only indications. Do bility, lack of energy, depression of spirits, logs of appetite, rheumatic pains, poor sleep, headache, diz zinoss, specks floating before the eyes, and many other symptoms plainly indicate the need of a thorough cleansing of the blood. The longer you delay, the more dif ficult will be to cure. The medi cine to take is Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and the tune to begin is now. Con tinue to take it through March, April and May, or until you feel that health and strength are fully restored, which will be when all these painful and troublesome symptoms are entirely removed. The young, the old. the middle- aged alike need the potent but be' nign influence of Ayer's Sarsapar ilia, the best of blood medicine. Farmers Read This. The arrival early in the week of a 6teamer from the Argentine lie public with a cargo of 120,000 bush els of flaxseed has brought to light some interesting facts. It seems mat quite a trade has been - going on in seed in the far-away country for some time past, about 500,000 bushels of the Argentine seed have already been sold here. The seed, although dirty, is reported to be of good quality, and the price is equal to $1.28 per bushel, dutv paid. It is interesting to note that two years ago America exported large quan tides of flaxseed. Now she is ira porting. Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S.

'Perhap3 you would not think so, but a very large proportion ot disease in New York comes from carelessness about catching cold," says Dr. byrus Edson. ' It is such a simple thing and so common that very few people, uulcss it is a case of pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. New York is one of the healthiest place on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a great cases of catarrh and consumption which have their ongen in this ne glect of the simple precaution of every day life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one get rid of it as soon as possible.' By all means do not neglect it." Dr. Edson does not tell you how to cure a cold but he will. Take Chamb erlain's Cough' Ilemedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid expectora tion, open the secretions and Boon effect a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottbs for sale bv Dr. Os- burn. The W. & C. R. At the meeting of the directors of the W. & C. R. railway in Walla Walla last Thursday a plan was formulated for the reogamzation of tne road, which on June 1, will take the road out of the receivers hands and place it under a regular of ficary again. The officials' reports were of such encouraging nature that arrangement to this effect were made. W. D. Tyler, present receiver, will be president, and T. B. Wilcox, of the firm of Ladd & Tilton, of Portland, becomes vice president. It is stated that this amounts to a compromise between the Wright and Ladd & Tilton fac tions and causes the tedious bond litigation to cease. Defaulted in terest will be paid up. 5am Jones on Keeiey Cure. Sam Jones believes in the Keei ey cure "Whenever I meet a fel low," says Sam, "who wants to be sured of everything, I send htm to Cbrhit; when I meet one that doesn't want to be cured of any thing but whiskey, I send him to Keeiey. Christ ia not a specific doctor. He does not cure a fellow of liquor and turn him loose on everything else. So when a man comes to me and says he wants o be cured of everything, I tell him he wants Christ; if he only wants to get rid of whiskey, I say 'Keel ev is vour man.'

Tyler, receiver of the W. & C. R. railroad, Capt. Wilder, of Fort Walla Walla, U. 8. A. and R. Green of the business depart ment of the Northwest Magazine, visited Athena Sunday. They (p. came by special train over the W. & C. R, road. Mr. Smalley has visited the coast several times since his connection with the Northwest Magazine, and on each occasion a graphio . digcription of the Pacific . Northwest, together' with numera tions of its vast resources have ap peared in his valuable publication. Mr. Smalley is a self made man en joys the distinction of having eerv- ed on the New York Tribune staff when people swore by its editor, Horace Greeley, and stands today in the front ranks of Journalism. The Press acknowledges a most pleasant call. . , The New Woman. Corvallis has a female engint?er. She is Mrs. John Schuldt, and for more than a year she haa run the four horse power engine in the Cor. vallis Mill creamery, says the Cor vallis Times, During that time not one dollar of repairs has been put on the machine and the fire in the furnace, has always made steam just as successful as if the person in charge had been arrayed in trous-, ers. Besides operating the engine, Mrs. Schuldt runs the separator, churns the cream, works the but ter and prepares it for market. Let it be recorded in history, that there was plenty of opportunity for wideawake women to thrive in the closing years of the nineteenth century. Last Straw. "Are you the man that answers the questions?" inquired the visi tor. '"Yes, sir," said the tired-looking man at the desk. "What can I do for you?" "I wish you'd tell me," rejoined the other, "in order to settle a bet, whether there's any more miles in an Epworth league than the com mon ordinary-" At this point the newspaper man made an almost imperceptible movement with his foot, and the long-unused trap-door on which the caller happened to be standing opened downward. , Strange Coincident. , Another illustration of the abili ty of nowspaper men to do the proper thing at the proper time was afforded by the correspondents ot Washington in gretting the ad journment of congress by singing "Praise God from whom all bless ings flow." They started the good old tune unconsciously, but it took like wild firs and congressmen and all took off their hats and joined in the singing, but when the law-givers saw the point they hung their lower lips and made a bee line for , home. To Be Sure. The queerest bill that has yet gone through the Washington leg islature is the measure taxing mi gratory sheep, says : the Spokane Chronicle. For years the Oregon herders have been driving their flocks across the border every sum mer to pasture on the green grasses of Washington. Now the legisla ture has decided that these herd ers may pay taxes or stay at home. What would Washington be without Oregon anyway? Generous at Last. When individual farmers owned their farms on Eureka Hat not a cent could be got from the state government to aid in boring artes ian wells. Now that ove? one-half the land is mortgaged to wealthy corporations, and a mortgage now days is almose equivalent to a deed, the legislature appro priated $2,500 for that purpose. A Visit to North Carolina. Cochkanton, Pa. "Some years ago I had occasion to visit North Carolina, and while there had one ofmv billious attacks. Hearing, for the first time, of Simmons Liv er Regulator, I tried it. Nothing before had so effecutally relieved me. I could in no way benefit others more than by putting such a rem edy in their hands."-B. V. Law rence. Correct. "Name the five most prominent cities in the 6tate of Washington," said a teacher to one of her pupils, and the little fellow thoughtfully answered: "Walla Walla, Spo" kane, Tacoina, Seattle and Pasco."
