Commissioner Blount declined to bo in

several week. Tbe Rn.h will probably
return to San Francisco in the mean

leave tbe steamer for aeveral hours, and
consequently tho reception by the
Hawaiian League aud Annexation Club
did not take place. The Kush brought
diatnti'tiea from Waahinirton to Admiral
)HrreU, and also to the provisional
tovorniuent, bat the nature of them
could not be learned. After tho first
fvelint of surprise had passed away, an
expression of aatisfaction at the person

the annexationist.. The Rush brought
no mail from the states, and the arrival

Notwithstanding tho Inclemency of
tho weather, tho court house was filled
long before 8 o'clock last night, the ap
pointed hour for tho l)emore.t prixo
.peaking contest tor the gold medal.
They faced the driving rain and Died in
qp to 8:15, filling every seat and every
place for a chair or bench. rone were
disappointed, for tho program wa. ex
ceptionally good.
The Mandolin and Guitar club opened
tho entertainment with one of their
.weet selections, followed by a vocal trio
of the Ladies Utee club, both being well
received.
Contestant No. 1, Georgia Sampson,
recited "Two Fire.." The piece, though
not the 'heaviest," ol tho six, gave op
portunity for tho varied accomplish
ment, of an elocutionist, which tho
contestant utilir-ed, and her gesture wa.
the acme of grace.
"The Happy Farmer," by "our boy.,"
waa next sung by eight school boys.
Tho natural boyish soprano of tho little
fellows, the entire artlessnees of their
manner, and the appropriate selection
touched a tender chord somewhere In
the complex anatomy of the adult listen
era, and they were compelled to respond
to an encore, which would bo called an
ovation if tendered to older folkes.
No. 2 wa. next, "The Glorious Monu
ment," by Karl Sanders. Hi. rendition
of tho selection was most creditable,
being delivered in a stalely style, thor
omrhlv eneriretic and impressive. He
lost a few point, on gesture.
Tbe choru. of the Alkl club, unex
pectedly on the part of the young ladie.,
drew forth tbe moet thunderous applause
of the evening. We say unexpectedly,
for they had evidently not planned for
an encore, the merry round they gave in
reanonne .howint a lack of recent
practice.
No. 3, "Our National Curse," w a. next
given by Pearl Butler. Thi. young lady
gave a moat thrilling rendition, .bowing
that .he wae en rapport with her theme.
She must have scored very close to the
winner.
The vocal solo promised by Margaret
Kinersly wa. filled by a selection by tho
Mandolin and Guitar club, who were
compelled to respond to an encore.
Walter Reavis, contestant o. 4, in
"The Boy. of America," gave a stirring
appeal In an oratorical style which i.
well-suited to that young man", power.,
but a style which cannot win a high
prixe, for there Is no opportunity
afforded for tho delineation of any of the
varidu. passions or emotions which
make Booth, or Jefferson..
Rixpah Mourning Her Sons," by
Nona Rowe, contestant No. 5. wa. the
ttrongest piece attempted. Mis. Rowo
has the true Ulentof a tragedienne, and
is beyond criticism in that part of her
selection calling for a portrayal of emo
tion. She lost slightly In pronunciation
and articulation. With these fault, cor
rected, together with a shorter sustained
clerical tone, she would have been as
sured tho medal.
The Ladies Glee club then rendered
a very pretty selection. '
Jennie Russell (No. 6) then 'rendered
"A Vision of Prohibition." Thi. young
lady is a favorite, and may be .aid to
stand first in popular favor a. an elocu
tionist. Her piece wo. a grand concep
tion and waa well delineated, while the
accompanying gesture, were .uitable,
neither lacking nor being in exce. of
the demand.
A feature overlooked by all of tho con
testants, and which might win the prize
for oue of them next time, is facial ti'
yrftnion.
The violin solo of Henry 15 arc-he tor f
was very beautiful, and responding to
an encore showed that hi. reportoire of
beautiful selection, wa. not exhausted.
This report would be incomplete with
out a mention of the master of ceremo
nies, Mrs. Smith French. The audience
is never for a moment left to it. own re
sources. Her skill and tact in employ
ing plea.urably any waiting time i. an
approached, and if necessary, .he is
cabable of holding the floor in a pleas
ing, sensible and witty extempore talk
for an indefinite time, and none would
realize that such vu not on the pro
gram until the event in waiting wa. in
readiness for attention.
The judge, awarded the prize to Miss
Georgia Sampson, contestant No. 1.

If F. W. L. Skibbe' example yester

cured some genuine linden from Salem
aud planted them along the east tide of
hi hotel. Thit street it the widest of
any in The Dalles, being 21) feet wider
than ordinary, a move made many,
many years ago in anticipation that the
U. S. mint, the same which is now so
prominent a feature in San Francisco,
would be located here. Hence there 1 a

CHANGE8 OF 1 HE WORLD.
Haw Ta.jr M ara Made, aad Ike Aelmel.
In a previous article I have given a
brief description of the great fossil beds
of the John Iays river region. An idea
at to how they were formed might be of
Interest. To begin with, we must, of
course, draw somewhat on the imagina
tion as to time, and go back into the
dark ages of the past, many, very many,
thousand years ago, when man was un
known upon at least this part of the
earth. We w ill picture to ourselves a
vast region of luxuriant forests of trop
ical and semi-tropical trees and plants ;
rank growth of succulent herbage,
teeming with these strange types of
animal life. There were great lakes,
with rivers and creek flowing into
them. Fearful rain at time fell upon
thi region, causing those streams to
become swollen torrent, such aa are at
present so common in otne portion of
the earth. These ancient floods swept
down their debris of all kinds, including
the remains of vast numbers of queer
beasts, into tho waters of lakes, a is the
case in regions of the earth today where
animal life Is abundant. There they
become in time buried in the mud at
the bottom of the lake. There we will
leave them, for It is many ages, perhaps,
before they are again brought to the
light of day. And what changes are
wrought in this woild while they are
lying there. There come mighty con
vulsion, which change the whole aspect
of nature. In places mountain are
thrown np where the plain once was.
Great fissures are formed In the surface
of the earth, through which mighty
stream of lave pour out and cover the
face of this once lovely laud. Then all
is quiet, dark and desolate. After a
while small streams of water again ap
pear, running now from new-made
mountains through the parched and
barren waste. For long aud dreary
years they murmur along; they wear
away the barren rock ; new soil is made;
river are again formed. Ages pass, and
the river wear away the rocks ; new
lake are made ; a different form of life
appears. Then again, these same fearful
tragedies of nature re-occur. The lava
run. down the mountain slopes; stifling
clouds of sickening vapors fill the air;
volcanoes end down great showers of
ashes upon the fearful scene; the lakes
are filled with them. Quiet is at last
restored, and then again begins nature's
work of reparation. The small streams
again resume their journey toward the
sea. These great upheavals have made
their task an easy one. They travel on
ward and nnite with one another.
Large river are formed, but the lakes
are gone. In their stead wild and
rugged mountains rear their heads; but
the world ia again at peace. Other ages
pass away and there comes man upon
the scene to nearch among these mighty
ruins and to draw as yet dim pictures of
the wondrous powers of the Mighty One
who rules it all.
After drawing this feeble outline of
the causes producing such vast changes
upon the fuce of this region, we will
now deal with what is here today left
us to see with pur own eyes and to won
der as to where it all will lead.
In the first great upheaval of this re
gion, a vast lake or series of lakes ex
tended over a great portion of this re
gion. The contents ol me Deas oi inese
lakes, we now find in the older fossil
beds or the ones kcown as the John
Day beds, that being the place where
they were first found. These beds cover
quite an area along the great gorget of
that river and itt tributaries, and con
tain a wonderful supply of very valua
ble fossils. These are known as belong
ing to the miocine, or middle period of
the tertiary age. Here are found many
remains of strong beasts of long ago, and
although some of these have kindred liv
ing upon the earth at present, their forms
have greatly changed. We find here the
little animal called the auchithereum or,
as it is sometimes called, the miobippus,
from the miocine period, in which it is
found. This animal it now conceded by
all who believe in the evolution theory
to be tbe ancestor of the horse, and re
mains of It are found In a somewhat
different form in a much older period
than the one of which we write. There
were alto animals of the rhinoceros kind.
Cat-like animals were very numerous.
A great many species are found, and
tome are of great size. One in particu
lar I will mention wa aa large perhapa
at the great man-eating tiger of India.
He bad great canine teeth or tunics tix
Inchet long, held by massive jaws.
These mighty tusk were somewhat flat
tened and in shape were little unlike a
dagger, with serrated edges t. ., with
edges like a sickle used for cutting grain.
I had the fortune to find a perfect skull
of one of the these several year ago,
which is in the collection of Prof. Cope,
at Philadelphia. It would require much
paco to tell of all the wonders found in
this, one of the most interesting of all
fossil fields on earth. Great quantities
still are there, and new wonders are
brought to light each year by the rain
and melting now, to be carried away by
strangers to foreign lands, away from the
land w here they have lain since long be
fore man waa known. L. 8. D.

The Medal Contests.
The Demorest contests are doing a
great work all over the land. It is
arousing the latent talent of tbe youth
who would otherwise never know them
selves to be possessed of such. '
'Full many a (rem of purest ray serene
The dHrk iinfHthomed caves of ocean bear
Full many a flower Is born to hlUNh unseen
And waste its sweetness on thedesert air."
"Some mute Inglorious Milton, some
Cromwell, guiltless of bis country's
blood." Such as these the Inspired
writer of Gray's "Elegy" had in mind,
whom opportunity failed to raise to
the highest pedestal. The medal con
tests furnish opportunity for those who
have natural aptitude, and brings it out
from the obscurity by which it would
perish. And how will this benefit soci
ety? Aside from the education designed
in the cause of prohibition, It makes en
tertainers for drawing rooms, educates
young people to enjoy and use chaste
F.nglish,givepthem grand ideas to think
about, excluding a share of vicious ideas
with which they may become contamin
ated. In short, it encourages a love of
all that Is grand in pcetry and prose,
and insensibly inclines the plastic mind
of youth to the side of virtue, truth and
right.
