We stated a day or so ago that the
history, ot all very rich mining sec
tions showed thati they were of lim
ited, area, and suggested that the
Clondyke would ' be rio exception.
This will probably prove true, though
it is undoubtedlj' one of the greatest
gold strikes ever made in the world.
We re-print Mr. Shaw's letter for the
benefit of those thinking of going to
Alaska this , summer. ' No , doubt
other rich sections will be found, and
Alaska for the young, vigorous and
ambitious man offers great induce
ments. ' There are millions1 of acres

.. The situation among, the striking
coal miners becomes daily more des
perate. Hunger has coin e to increase
the bitterness of discontent, . and
close on the heels of hunger stalk
riot and b'oodshed. When the chil
dren cry for bread the father becomes
an animal and the mother a demon.
Carefullycollected statistics of the
coal mining business show that the
wages paid the coal-miner for a year
average $176 a year, or about 48
cents a da', fully, one-third of wLicb
must be paid for rent. This leaves
for food and clothing for himself
and : family . $120 a year, $10
mouth. ,- ; ; , '
Is it any wonder the toilers have
struck?- Is it strange that they le
fuse to work at the same wage ?
it not indeed a remarkable thing that
murder and riot have not prevailed
long ago i . A cnericans are not slaves
and they will not go back to a life of
hopeless toil, either, under the
scourge of the employer's whip-
starvation, . or the ' armed . force
brought, as it will be brought, by the
government to back the capitalist in
his w.ar oh labor.
It is passing strange that the greed
of gain so blinds the eyes of the
rich that they cannot see the hand
writing upon the ; wall ; strange in
deed that they ; will not understand
that there is a limit bevond which
wages 'cannot be reduced. They
will learn the lesson some time, when
it is written in letters of crimson
upon the green hillsides, not before
No good citizen can view the situa
tion without alarm, for behind such
strikes, made by hopeless and des
perate men lurks social revolution,
A spirit of fairness, a desire to meet
the just and reasonable demands of
the toilers , would obviate this; but
this spirit no longer exists among
American employers. .
And still al! the talk . is "Clon
dyke." Many are going, many more
longing, yet hesitating to go. Cali
fornia was -the greatest gold field
ever found. .The . .conditions were
peculiarly good for the miners on
account of the mild climate, abund
ance of game and fish, and the fact
that considerable : wheat 'and vast
herds of beef cattle were available.
Add to this the fact that the ships of
the world could reach the Golden
Gate, and . that - transportation was
easy, and it will be seen that the
early arrivals there bad little to con
tend ' with.'. Yet hundreds died -of
neglect and hunger, and the propor
tion who made . money wa3 less tnan several specimens of rock, the assays
he brought with him, the result of his
prospecting in the Olympic "range. One

specimens subjected to the test showed

-1 It is said that Mr. Alexander was sent
into the Olympics by a mining syndicate
of Portland, which is desirous of secur
ing a number of claims with the view of
commencing development work in the
near .-future. V It js claimed that Mr.
Alexander has found substantial wealth
at a point somewhere near the head of
the Big Qailcene river, represented in
ledges of such proportions that his re
port to the Portland syndicate will be so
thoroughly convincing that the. sinking
of shafts, tunnels and cross-tunnela on
this property will be but .a matter of a
few weeks at the farthest! . ' : !
Mr. Alexander ia eaid to have been in
great haste to catch the steamer Lydia
Thompson for Seattle, being desirous of
reaching Portland without delay. When
seen he was very reticent about the rich
strike that he bad made. He partly ad
mitted, however, that he bad been cent
into the Olympics by Portland parties,
and that the result of his trip would rep
resent perhaps, millions of dollars to
those interested.: '- ' . - - '
: He said that be was unequivocally of
the opinion, and that the same was
based on a thorough examination ' of

its situation, Las always commanded

attacked. That attack it must meet
The railroad through Sherman county
will not affect trade much tor a year
or two, but in time, especially if it is
' extended south ten or twenty miles
' from Wasco, it will do more ; or less
injury to our trade. We do not pre
, "- tend to say that a railroad up the
' Deschutes will prevent this, for we
do not know the country through
which it runs, nor are we familiar
with, the circumstances or situation
; under which the proposed road would
. have to seek its patronage.'; That
' may, or may not, prove the solution
of the problem ; - but at least it is
worth examining into. ItJ is pro
posed to have a survey made, bnt it
strikes ns the first thmg to do is to
study into the" topdgraphy of 'the

tee no reason why woman, the weaker
of the two, should be universally
damned. - Wbile the: wite forgives
the husband seventy times seven
times, her own slips should be for
given at least once. Laxity of
morals is the greatest daDger to onr
civilization, and when man is brought
to the' pillory and : punished for his
offenses, then and then only should
woman be placed without the pale of
society, and her touch considered a
contamination. When Bradbury for
gave his wife he probably only put
in execution the golden rule with
this difference that he did as he had
already been done by. ... '; '-'
B. B, Shaw, wnting from the Clon
dyke, intimates that while it is won
derfully rich, it is not, as far as is
known, anything like as extensive as
at first stated. ; He says about 200
claims are very- rich. One sentence
in his letter should be remembered.
It is : ' "Of course I am " too late to
get in on any of the rich ground, but
The stock market is the surest
measure of the actual effect of legis
lation upon the interest of the sugar
trust. Judged by this test, the con
ference committee's schedule is dis
tinctly favorable to the trust. When
the Dingley bill went to the senate,
sugar certificates were selling at 115,
When the bill came out of the sen
ate caucus, they were selling at 125,
When the bill went into the hands of
the conference committee certificates
were selling at 129. Since the bill
has been in conference the price has
advanced to 137 J. There was a de
cline from this point last week, but
yesterday upon publication of the
conference agreement the stock sold
up to 141$. . Here is an advance of
$26f on every share since the Ding
ley bill passed the house. It is clear
that somebody thinks the conference
report better 'for the trust than the
house bill. Oregoninm v
An Englishman, writing to the
Daily Mail (London) upon the prob
ability of war between . England and
the United States suggests that the
former country' should take advan
tage of the situation to correct the
Canadian boundary lines by, annex
ing Maine, New Hampshire and Ver
mont, thus giving Canada a seaport
Portland which would be open all
the year round. We suggest to our
Democratic friends that this would
be a good opportunity to get rid of
a strong Republican district, yet at
- Massachusetts had a state board of
arbitration for the settlement ol labor
strikes that has been maintained for
eleven years.' It has just . issued a
"bulletin" giving the' statistics of
strikes from 1886 to 1894, the record
for 1895 and 1896 not having been
made up. From 1886 to 1894, in- i
elusive, there were 1,050 strikes and
63 lockouts reported, and throughout
the whole period from 1886 to 1896
830 cases were submitted to the
board for arbitration. -; Although the
board dealt with a comparatively
small number of the labor disputes,
its record in these cases goes far to
justify its creation, and demonstrate
its usefulness. Of 330 cases it set
tled .123, or more than one-third;
136 cases were settled by those con
cerned, and in only 71 cases was
there no agreement effected.
from the croppings of bis many years
of experience as a miner, that the Olym
pic mountains are possessed of a vast
body of wealth, not one-hundredth part
of which could yet be fairly approxi
mated, because of the great difficulty of
thoroughly prospecting the mountains.
When asked if it were true that one
of the specimens that he had found as
sayed $18,000 to the ton, he seemed to
think lightly of such a big result, and
modestly intimated that there was no
good reason why ore could not be found
in the Olympics that would show up at
$75,000. . : . ' . .. . '; - , . ,

nia is - taking a new phase from the
fact that the miners are getting hun

ill not be at : all surprising if there
is bloodshed ere long, and perhaps a
repetition of the Homestead riots.
It is undoubtedly true that the coal
miners are not paid enough for their
work to permit them to live, and
that far at least they are justifiable in
striking. The natural remedy sug
gested is that the price of coal . be
advanced to a point that will permit
the paying of . wages sufficient at
least to support life. . The consumers
of coal cannot expect to get' it at a
price less than the actual cost of pro
