The rain Saturday night and Sunday
was as gentle as a turtle dove and mild
as the first kiss of puppy love. It was
as good too. The steady drizzle and
lack ot wind was a peculiar feature of
the rain. It all went into the ground
and the amount of good it has done is
incalculable. '
The salmon run does not seem to im
prove any but, the rise in the river puts

ceived quite a fine lot of Chinooks today
but will hold them until tomorrow morn
ing, at which time he expects to make a
pretty good run.
Walter L. Tooze has shipped from

There is no excitement, nor is there
very much talking being done about the
mining industry in southern Oregon ;
yet it is a fact that there are more mines
in active operation in this section than
any other in the state. Considerable
gold is being taken out right along, and
people do not notice it any more than in
any other branch of business. Some of
the mines have been yielding a band
some income to their owners for years,
and others just as valuable are being
opened np every week.
It is probable that an application will
be made to Judge Hanna soon for per
mission to resume work on the Ashland

fortnight, trying to make arrangements
to that end, and an agreement has about
been reached. The object is to pay off
indebtedness which has been incurred

to continue work. The mill has been
running for several days on tailings from
the dump below.

the world, and that they did a larger
business in dollars and cents than any
other house in the American music trade.
This may look like Chicago journalis
tic bragging, but let some one come for
ward and dispute it and at tbe same
time back up his statement, and it will
be the simplest thing in the world
prove that our assertion is true. A few
ambitious houses have followed in the
footsteps of the Kimball Co. and have
imagined themselves quite as important,
but time has proved that, after all, the
Kimball institution is far be von d their
reach.
All this great success has been brought
about by fidelity to strict business prin
cipleB and by doing precisely as agreed
and giving the public full value for their
money. We remember well when some
of tbe trade dealers and manufactures
laughed at the idea of Kimball getting
a nigh testimonial for the Kimball
piano from Adelina Patti, but when the
testimonials came pouring in from near'
ly all tbe leading musical artists of the
country there was not so much laughing
on tbe back seats, and the Kimball Co,
continue to remain at the head of the
lists of the great musical industries
the country. The Indicator.-

What is the first question asked o f a
Chicago music trade man or a music
trade editor when he visits other cities
and towns of this country? It is invari
ably, how is the great house of Kimball
getting along? How many pianos are
they turning oat now, and are they mak
ing as many organs as they used to?
How many men in traveling from the
city ot Chicago have not had these ques
tions propounded many times? We
venture to say mighty few. Why are
these questions so often asked? Simply
because the W. W. Kimball Co. are
known to be the largest manufacturers
and dealers in pianos and organs in the
world. Hence everybody is interested
in their progress and welfare, We do
not hesitate to state that without any
doubt the W. W. Kimball Co. manu
factured and told more pianos during
the year 1894 than any other house in
Much interest will be felt by the pub
lic in the return of Rudyard Kipling to

beginning his work upon his return to
India. India has never been critically
considered by such a pen as KIpling'p
and what he will write for the Cosmo
politan will attract the widest attention
both here and in England.
Perhaps the most beautiful series of
pictures ever presented of the Rocky
mountains will be found in a collection of
fourteen original paintings, executed by
Thomas Moran for the May Cosmo
politan. To those who have been in the
Rockies, this issue of the Cosmpolitan
will be a souvenir worthy of preservation.
This number contains fifty-two original
drawings, by Thomas Moran, Oliver
Heford, Dan Beard, H. M. Eaton, F. G
Attwood, F. O. Small, F. Lix, J. H,
Dolph, and Rosina Emmett Sherwood,
besides six reproductions of famous re

A Dial On Bis Face.
Col. James B. Eddy, of the Oregon
Railway commission, has returned from
the scene of the bridge collapse on the
Oregon Pacific, fifty miles west of Cor-
vallis. Ou the part of the commission,
Col. Eddy made an investigation into
the source of the accident and found it
difficult to give a definite answer. It
appears that the bridge had been in
spec ted bat a short time ago and pro
nounced sound and trainworthy.
In connection with the terrible acci
aent, me ixrvanis rimes relates a
strange incident, ine conductor was
Johnny Campbell and after the crash
was over and search was made in the
debris, on Mr. Campbell's face under
the left eye was a perfect picture of his
watch dial, showing the time to be 15
minutes past 3 o'clock, just the time of
the accident. It is supposed he had his
watch in his hand looking at the time
when tbe crash came and he fell with
his face on the dial and it left tbe im
print. '
Home Business.
The Dalles did some business last year,
despite the high water. Although the
railroad was washed away so that trains
did not run for more than two months
during the summer, yet The Dalles ship
ped the following products in 1894 by
rail, and not counting tbe immense
amount shipped by boat. Wheat 705,
other grain 80 cars, sheep 203 cars, cattle
208 cars, hogs 59 cars fruit 21 cars, sal
mon 55 cars, wool 150 cars, potatoes 10
cars. Besides this it shipped in less
than carload lots, miscellaneous merch
andise weighing 2,459,261 pounds and
received miscellaneous freight weighing
3,408,814 pounds. She received be
sides 56 cars of lumber, merchan
dise 52 cars, oil 13 cars, and coal 88
cars. In all for carload lots 1,620 cars
were used and for the miscellaneous
freight 300 cars more were required or a
grand total of 2,000 cars. Two train
loads a week or six carloads a day. How
is that for business for a small town?
Load In r Cattle.
A large number of people have been
at the depot today witnessing the load
ing of the cattle to be shipped away.
John Stewart furnishes 600 head of the
cattle for Mr. Hogan, of Helena, Mon
tana, while 300 head in the same train
is loaded by Frank Hampton for D. M.
French & Co., of The Dalles. The cat
tie are one and two year old steers.

station in Linn county for French & Co.

more cattle for other parties which he
will deliver in June. In that month A.

warrant for the arrest of H. H. Pratber,
who is charged with sending a letter
through the mails to a man named
Parker, at Walla Walla, requesting

them here for immoral purposes. Some
how the letter came into the postal
aumorities nanas and a warrant was
issued for Prattler's arrest. When Mar
shal Grady arrived here he went to the
postoffice to learn if there was such a
man here and had hardly got inside the

outside and arrested him as he was leav
ing the building. He will be taken to
Portland for trial. .

rangements have been made for reduced
rates on the railroads. It is urgently re
quested that every club in the state be
represented. The above information is
contained in a postal sent out by the
secretary, but which is so verbose and
contains so much of the secretary's self
that we cut out that part to make room
for more interesting matter.
