The Yakima Times says Dean Stair,

Mr. T. H. Clark, who came in from
St. Helens Monday, left for the same
point this morning. He has with him
some good-looking quartz which came
' from a mine he discovered the 27th of
July last. Yesterday he pounded up a
small piece of it in a mortar and got four
cents worth of the metal from it. The
' mine belongs jointly to himself and A
M. Keleay.
The United states nsh commission
has decided to establish a salmon hatch
ery near Stevenson, on the Washington
side of the Columbia, opposite the cas
cades. This decision was in conpliance
to the recommendation of Professor
Barton W. Evermann, the ichthyologist
with the commission. Professor Ever
mann, telegraphed the report to Wash
ington immediately upon its completion,
the other day, and yesterday received a
dispatch to the effect just stated.
Where Multnomah falls is laughingly
throwing its waters over high cliffs and
' sparkling as the evening sua-god loving
ly kisses its spray until.it blushes witb
all the tints of the rainbow ; where the
air is redolent with the odor of the life
giving pines ; where the fir's green
spears seem to touch the sky ; where the
atmosphere is cooled by the mist from
the adjacent stream that sweeps gurgling
on to meet the grand, old Oregon, ia the
place the lady members of the Wood
men Circle and their friends have se
lected as a rendezvous for a ten days
camping trip. Bates have been made
with Agent Lytle to carry a party of ten
the round trip for $2.50. For further

Maya & Sons and shipped to Montana.
We learn that a field of carrots near
the city of an acre and a half has been
completely destroyed by the grasshop
pers, the insects even pursuing the roots
into the ground.
. Word has been received from Mr." E.
JacobBen that be ia -very ill at Burns,
Or., with dysentery. A letter from a
friend states that at the time of writing
it he waa unconscious. '
' A crew of fourteen men -has been set
at work repairing and improving the
wagon road from Ashland to Klamath
Falls. Portland contributed $500, ac
cording to the Klamath Falls Express,
and from collections made $1,200 will be
expended for a starter.
Potatoes continue to bring a high
price, maintaining their valne better
thia season than for many yaars. We
are informed that there ere lota of po
tatoes in the country, but the farmers
are too busv with their other work to
dig them... . u; ' :.: v '.-:.'
-The arrangements,' now- practically
completed, for the regatta to be held at
Astoria, provide for one of the most in
teresting entertainments ever given on
the Northwest Pacific coast. Every de
tail has been looked alter, - Appropriate
prizes have been arranged tor every race
in all of the important eventa.
Mrs. Marshal Hill waa thrown from
her buggy last evening, caused by the
horse running away down the Union
street hill, and was severely cut and
bruised about the forehead. She waa
picked up and conveyed to Rev. Miller's
house, and Dr. Doane summoned. The
wounds will be a long time in heal
ing and may leave a scar.
From reliable reports received from
the valley travelers of Portland hop-
brokers and buyers the 1896 hop crop
will hardly reach 50,000 bales ; less than
half of last year's crop. But the proa
pecta thia year for the growera aa re
gards prices are somewhat better, as
shortages in Eastern and European
crops are reported, ana tor cnoice qual
ity the valley hopmen are likely to reap
a fair profit.
Wheat atands at the head of bread
grains. On account ot its superior
value, be the price high or low, wheat
will bear transportation for a greater
distance than any other grain or pro
duce. Thus we have all the induce
merits for its continued production, even
at low prices. Wheat will sell at any
time, and alwaya at some price. - The
man that has wheat can always com
mand some monev. Moro Observer.
Henry Lauretson's scow burned last
night at a point on the river about two!
u pon the scow was
preferred to home brands. The pictures
on the box may not be so gaudy, but the
cigars cannot be excelled. On the con
trary there is every reason why home
cigars should be given - the preference.
Their prodnction adds to the number of
consumers of all other" lines of goods.
The money sent away tor labor of mak
ing cigars ia kept at borne. The cigars
made arenown to be unadulterated.
Dealers ought therefore to keep in stock
and give preference to home made cigars,
and consumers should likewise call for
them. One who should refuse to keep
them, after they have been called for,
baa not a proper spirit of loyalty to the
town where they themselves are sup
ported. One of our earlier presidents
Once set the example of patronizing
home enduatriea by wearing a suit of
homeapun clothes In' preference . to the
fine broadcloth of England's looms. It
ia a healthful and satisfactory spirit to
cultivate.

United States District Attorney Mar
pliy has received instructions to defend
ex-Indian Agent Peter, of the Klamath
reservation, who has been sued in the
county court of Klamath county by
Henry O'Brien, late a teacher in the In
dian school there, to recover $5,000 dam
ages for being put off the reservation
It is charged that O'Brien became so
unmindful of his duties and so obatrep
erous, that the agent deemed it advis
able to discharge him and forcibly expel
him from the premises.
Friday's Daily.
The smoke is again settling over the
country.
The Alien Bros, ot Yakima shipped a
number of wagons and carts to Astoria
this morning, to be employed on the
new railroad.
Mr. Glasius has received a letter in
forming him of the death of Mrs. Johns,
a former resident of The Dalles, which
occurred at Soda Springs Angust 2d.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Maxwell, par
ents of W. A. Maxwell, of the Arlington
Record, celebrated the 50th anniversary
of their wedding day at Columbus,
Wash., yesterday. The editor and bis
wife were present.
Twenty teachers are being examined
for certificates at the high school build
ing. Eighteen of the number were in
attendance at the institute. Examina
tion for state diploma and state lite di
ploma will be made Saturday. .
Though the thermometer hugs the
century mark, the heat does not seem
so intense nor disastrous in its effects as
ia reported from the East. No one has
been stricken down by it, and no death
has occurred from it, even incidentally,
so far as has been reported.
Considerable gold dust ia being
hipped from Grant's Pasa, even in these
dry times. Nearly every store in town
handles it, and it is legal tender without
the government stamp for all merchan
dise here. There is considerable differ
ence in its value, however,owing to the
presence of more or less silver. One
shipment was made last week that only
brought $9 an ounce at the mint. Some
of the duet has brought as high as $19.10.
The silver-producing localities are known
and dust from there is scaled down accordingly.

Mr. Peterson informs us the cigar
trade is dull. , It would seem strange
that a city of thia size could not consume
all the cigars that could be made by the
cigar-makers of the city. As a matter
of fact many more cigara are con
sumed than then umber daily made here,
but the trouble is that Eastern goods
are too often purchased. . It is a fact
that no better cigars are sold than, those
made at home. Consequently there' ia
no good reason why foreign should be
Hon. W. P. Ellis arrived on the noon
train today from Newport, where he lias
been for a month, and where his family
now are. Mr. Ellis purchased a cottage
there, where he will epend the greater
part of the summer. His business in
The Dalles at present ia to consider the
applications of young gentlemen who
may wish to try for West Point or An
napolis honors.
Knowing that his position politically
was in some doubt since the curious in
terview alleged to have been held be
tween himself and an Oregonian re
perter, a Chronicle representative
called upon him at the Umatilla Houee.
"Will you take a part in the cam
paign this year?'' began the reporter.
"I will," replied Mr. Ellis. "I have
offered my services at state Republican
headquarters, and will be ready to go
on he stump as soon as the campaign
opens. I would prefer to be assigned in
my own district, but will go wherever
in the judgment of the committee I am
needed."
"The general impression among the
people of the state is that you favor the
silver' side of the question?"
"Oh, not wholly," with a deprecating
gesture. "I have been friendly to both
metals, and should like to see the larg
est use of both consistent with keeping
up the parity. I am not one of that
number who believe that great dis
order ia . to follow the financial issue,
no matter which way it is settled.
Whatever may be the resnlt of the elec
tion I do not believe we shall have any
great panic or commotion. I think Mc
Kinley will be elected and that the fight
ia going to be aettled along Republican
lines, and I do not think the financial
plank is the most important. There are
several others ahead of that. I believe
the tariff plank is paramount to all
others. Then the old established Re
publican principle of restriction of
foreign immigration is of more import
ance than the hnancial plank. There
are several that in my judgment come
ahead of that one."
Mr. Ellis will remain in the city till
tomorrow afternoon. In the morning
he will receive the applicants for mill
tary examination.
. The Dalles correspondent of the Ore
gonian writes:' The Republican cam
paign will begin in earnest next Friday
evening when the McKinley Club will
resume its regular meetings. This or
ganization Intends being an active fac
tor in promoting the cause of Republic
anism in Wasco county and .is-' prepar
ing for vigorous work.' The executive
committee has " issued the. following
circular, which, will " be vsent to
business men and others who may not
heretofore have taken any deep interest
in politics:
"Abe campaign of l&SJb, which prom
ises to be one of the most momentous in
the history of the nation, has begun.
Upon one side ia the party advocating
the maintenance of a sound-money ' sys
tem, which will enable every dollar to
be of equal purchasing valne ; opposed
to it i J a union of the forces eager for the
free-coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1. . N
"A mutnal consideration for the inter
ests of ua all demanda that an effort be
made to overcome the hosts which are
threatening to destroy conditions neces
sary to commercial prosperity.
"The possibility of Bryan's election
has caused an utter stagnation in the
wool market, and the condition of our
warehouses crowded as they are witb
the products of Eastern Oregon flocks
is an eloquent argument for a return to
the beneficent era of a protective tariff.
"With these suggestions in mind, you
are asked by the executive committee of
the McKinley Club to assist in the work
of the present campaign. This is a time
when patriotic considerations are above
those of party. No matter what your
political beliefs were four years ago, or
what they will be four years hence, you
are asked to join hands in the present
contest."
There is an aggressive Republican
sentiment in Wasco county, which will
see to it that McKinley is given a hand
some majority.

Sliding Mountain Won't Stop.
The sliding mountain just below the
Upper Cascades is one of the wonders of
the Western world. It has the slides
thia year worse than usual, and its
movement has rendered necessarv the
relocation of the O. R. & N. Co.'s rail
way for a distance of some 1200 feet.
The new line will be moved some sixty
feet back, and will be eighteen feet
higher than the present line, which has
gone away below grade, owing to the
sinking and sliding of the land. - The
railroad engineers have become so ac
customed, to the antics of thia sliding
mountain that they just let it slide, and
when it gets the track too far down,
they move it up again. Oregonian.
A freight car, loaded with grain of all
kind in stalk, and sacked grasses, in
cluding alfalfa; fruit, fresh, dried,
canned and jarred ; vegetables of all
kinds, hops, wool, fish, wood and min
erals, will leave Portland August 24th
for St. Paul. It is desired that all farm
ers or other exhibitors who have any
thing to exhibit will bring them to the
office of The Dalles Commission Co.,
corner of Second and Washington
streets. Mr. Emile Schanno will per
sonally superintend the packing of them
and they will be properly shipped. Thia
action waa determined at a recent meet
ing at The Dalles, at which was present
Mr. E. N. Morgan of Portland. The
committee especially wants the pro
ducers to bring in grain in the sheaf or
in bulk, fruit, vegetables, any product
showing good growth. Any product or
article calculated to interest strangers in
Oregon's resources or capabilities will
be gladly received.
On arrival, the exhibits will be re-,
moved from the car and - placed in the
main pavilion, .where they will be ar
ranged , for exhibition.' Messrs. B. S,
Pague and A. H. Devers, commissioners
of thjs board, will accompany the car,
and they will have two assistants.' Mr
Robert ti. Wilson, who is now giving
illustrated lectures ot Oregon in Iowa,
under the direction and auspices oT thia
board, will be in St. Paul during the
time of the state fair, and lectures will
be given on the state fair grounds, de
scriptive of Oregon ; Messrs. Pague and
Devers will also lecture. At the close of
the fair, the exhibits will be repacked
and returned to Portland, where, those
in condition will be placed in the ex
position, which opens September 19. "'
Among many attractive exhibits to be
sent to the fair will be several 75-pound
frozen salmon; and,, while Messrs.
Pague and Devers are at the exposition,
they will give several dinners, which
will consist eolely of Oregon products.
Oregon salmon, potatoes, ham, fruits,
brandy, wines and beer. Thia dfnner
will he given to representatives of the
press, and will do wonders toward ad
vertising Oregon.
