P. hall Wednesday evening: . "The
fresh, delicious mezzo vbice of Miss Har
riet H. Stevens was a pleasant revela
tion to those who bave not bad the op
portunity of hearing her in the Musicale
Club. Miss Stevens is the possessor of
that desirable adjunct, "musical style,'
and it is hoped that she will be heard
frequently in tbe future by Portland an
diences. She presented selections by
Coombs and Thomas."
Miss Lizzie Farmer of this city, re
ceived a telegram Saturday evening

ing her of tbe death of her father, Thos.
Farmer, at that place. Mr. Farmer bad

leaves five children Mrs. Alwise, of
Troy ; Mrs. McLaine, of Pine Bluff, Ark. ;
Mrs. Upper, of Portland, Or. ; Miss Liz
zie Farmer and Hugh Farmer, both of
this city. Mr. Farmer was 73 years old,
and a week before Lis death be stated in
one of bis letters that he was enjoying
good health, so that bis death was un
expected. Tbe telegram did not state
tbe canse, but it was -probably heart
failure.

At the school election beld yesterday,
but ninety-six votes were cast. The
only candidates in the field wore Dr.
Doane (or director, and Geo. P. Morgan
for clerk, so that both were elected uua
nimously. Reports from. tbe Hay creek conn try
State tbat shearing has begun in. that
vicinity, and it will not be long nntil the
jingle of the freighter's bells, as he hauls
the wool to Tbe Dalles market, can be
heard along tbe line.
- Crushed rock is being put on Court
street today in froLt of the city jail, and
if no remonstrance is made to the ordi
nance for tbe repair of this street, rock
will be put on tbe same between Main
and Third streets; . " .
We understand that tbe Strong wind
of last week blew down a portion of tbe
fence around tbe city graveyard, and at
present the cattle are tramping over the
graves eating the grass and injuring the
monuments. Whoever has charge of
tbe cemetery should see tbat tbe fences
are put in shape. ,
County Clerk Kelsay returned last
night from a short business trip to the
interior. He reports the farmers and
sheepmen in good spirits, but says tbe
ground is very dry for this time of the
year, and consequently more ram than
usual will be required this spring and
summer to insure good crops. ,
Mr. Win. "Michell came up on the
Dalles City last night, having gone
down to Lyle to conduct the funeral ser
vices of Mrs. Fred Smith, who died at
tbat place Saturday. The funeral was
largely attended, and seemed doubly sad
as the deceased was but 20 years old
and bad been married but a short time,
- Graves fears are entertained by the
fruit-raisers on account of the present
pleasant weather, and some have come
to the.conclusion that there will be but
little fruit raised in Eastern Oregon this
year. The spring is entirely too eariy.
and if it is not phenomenally mild dur
ing April, tbe fruit crop will certainly
be destroyed.
Tbe woodwork is about done on Mays
& Crowe's new warehouse and at present
Fritz and Spivey are getting in their ar
tistic touches in painting the same. Mr,
Fritz informs us tbat it is almost impos
sible for be and Mr. Spivey to do the
amount of work that they bave on band
at present. As soon as they finish the
work for Mays & Crowe they will begin
on the Great Northern Furniture Co.'s
new building, and outside of these they
have a number of smaller jobs.
Yesterday the work of putting the gas
lights in the new Catholic church was
completed and last evening tbe new edi
flee was lit up and thrown open for visi
tors. The gas lights were put in by the
Northwestern Light Co., of Portland,
and this system is known as the Eagle
Automatic Aceline Generator, which
proves lo be a very satisfactory system
of lighting. The dedication of the new
edifice will take place at 10 a. m, Thurs
day the 17th. A general invitation is
extended to everyone in the city, special
invitations having been issued only to
persons living out of town.
Tbe little 5-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Ballance, residing
three miles east of Long Creek, met
with a horrible accident Thursday even
.ing tbat resulted in death a few hours
later. At tbe time tbat the accident oc
C irred Mrs. ' Ballance was in tbe barn
yard, and one of the children came run
ning out saying her little sister was cn
fire. 'When she reached the bouse she
.found the little one wrapped in .flames,
She removed its clothing as rapidly as
possible and extinguished the flames,
but too late, as the fire had burned its
bands and body in a shocking manner,
Medical aid was summoned and every
thing possible done to relieve tbe child's
sufferings, but nctwithstanding it died
at 8 o'clock Friday morning in the moist
horrible agony.
The people of Cottage Grove were bor-.
ror-slricken yesterday morning to learn
that a murder had been committed there,
Harry F. Stephens, while intoxicated,
went to the Bohemia saloon at 10 o'clock
Sunday night and assaulted N. J. Jones,
tbe bartender. Jones evaded him' tbe
first time, and going on tbe other side of
a billiard table, asked Stephens to go
away and leave him alone. - He asked
for help from some bystanders, but they
were afraid. Stephens rushed at Jones,
throwing the latter d6wn. Jones drew
bis knife and stabbed Stephens tw or
three times in tbe chest and once on the
top of bis bead. Stephens was pulled
off and carried home. He died at 2 a.
u. Stephens 'bad been a habitual
drunkard for the last two years, and was
a very dangerous man while drunk, hav
ing committed many acts of violence.
He threatened to do up Jones because
the latter refused bim liquor time after
time.
Death, of Clarence Cockling-.
Al 7 p. m. yesterday Clarence Edward
Conkling, eldest son of Sarab and EL H.
Cnnklmg, died at his parents' home, in
this city. On Thursday morning he was
kicked in tbe abdomen by a horse at the
farm' of J. D. Kelly, on 15 mile, and
was brought to the city for treatment.
He sustained very serious internal inju
ries, and from tbe time of tbe accident
nntil bis death his suffering was intense.
Tbe deceased was born in Iowa 23
years ago, ami has lived in this city
about fourteen years. He bad tbe rep
utation of being an honest, upright and
industrious boy, and it is sad to see one
of this character taken away In his early
manhood.
He leaves a father and mother, three
brothers Ernest, Bertie and Elda and
one sister, Gracie, to mourn his untime
ly death. . .
7 he funeral will take place from the.
M. E. church at 10'a. m. tomorrow. All
friends of the family are invited to at
tend. -

ITEMS FROM DAWSON CITY.
An Interesting Letter From Jos.
Concerning Mines, Etc.
Wilson
The following letter to Fletch Faulk
ner is from Joseph A. Wilson, who went
to Klondike with Will Langille when
the rush first began. Although it is of
rather a private nature, still it contains
many points of interest which Mr,
Faulkner gives ns permission to pub
lish :
Dawson, Northwest Tkbritoky,
January, 29, 1898. f
F. Faulkner, The Dalles, Or. :
Dkab Sib : Have delayed writing in
tbe hope tbat I could give you some
definite information concerning placer
claims. Until last fall creek claims were
500 feet and from rim to rim, and bench
claims are 100 feet. Now we bave creek
claims 200 feet, with half or every odd
hundred reserved for the queen ; bench
claims same as formerly. Each person
is limited to four' claims. There is
hope i?) that tbe law will be changed.
That is what I bave been waiting for;
but the Canadian mail baa not arrived.
As a result of tbe present law everyone
isjtaking all the claims they can, and
are in hopes of selling out and getting
out of the country. Recording fee for
location is $15, and at the end of a year
you must pay $100 to record again, and
in addition do three months work on
each claim. Assessment work now costs
$1000 per claim.
Everything good, bad or worthless
within sixty miles of here is located
Eldorado creek is good very good ; Bo
nanza is spotted ; Bear creek is good be'
low Victoria gulch ; Hanker creek is
spotted. There are practically no other
creeks that are at all developed except
Dominion, and tbat only on a tew claims.
Some of tbem are good. Dominion is
sixty miles from Dawson. What
mean by spotted is tbat one claim is
good and the adjoining claim worthless
Some lays or leasee will pan out $100,'
000, and the next one to it will not pay
working expenses.
Wages are down T.o.$l per hour in
most cases ; only a few are paying $1.25
and $1.50. If 40,000 people come in
here next summer, wages will be down
to fifty cents, or less, per hour, and as
most everything costs about five times
as much here as outside, you will read
ily see that no one need come here look
ing for work unless supplies are reduced
in price, and, in my opinion, that is not
eyen probable. Not less tban 1000 peO'
pie bave either gone outside or down
tbe river to Fort Yukon', where they
could get grub. Fort Yokon is 380
miles from. Dawson. Had they not
gone from here, there would bave been
someone hungry before now. I will
quote you some store and other prices,
When the prices paid are above store
figures you can easily tell tbat the stores
are out :
'STORE OUTSIDE
Flour, per sack .... $6 00 - $100 -00
Rice, per pound. 25 " 100
Sugar, pound 30 75
Bacon, pound .'. : . 40 1 00
Milk, per can 50 1 00
Dried fruits, pound 30 1 25
Other goods are in proportion. Beef
and mutton $1 to $1.50 per pound;
moose and carabou, ditto.
And now I come to an eye-opener:
Ten-quart pails, $7: sheet-iron camp
stoves, $50. Other things in tbat line,
ditto. Stove-pipe was $2 per joint while
it lasted. There is only one tin shop
here, and tbey sold 8000 joints of pipe,
and stoves in proportion. There stock
is exhausted. One of tbe firm went
outside to get stock. ' The Alaska Com
mercial Co. and the North American
Transportation & Trading Co. bring in
stock, but not enough to supply the de
mand. A tin store here would pay as
well as an Eldorado mine; but who
knows bow many will be here within
six months.
Last summer packing cost 14 cent per
pound from Dyea to Lake Linderman
until tbe rush came; then it got up to
48 cent per pound. ,
Winter is tbe time to get over to tbe
lakes from Dyea and Skagway. Tbe
Skagway trail was forty miles of mud
last August. Dyea is much better in
summer and Skagway is tbe better in
winter. Tbe White Pass on Skagway
trail is 1200 feet lower than the Chilcoot
Pass.
It costs to live at the restaurants. Fol
lowing is tbe bill of fare at the Royal
Restaurant : Coffee or tea, 50 cents per
cup; beef tea, 75ctspercup; dough
nuts, 75 cts. per order ; sandwiches, 75
cts. per order ; pie, 75 cts. per cut ;
stewed fruit, 75 cts. ; hot cakes, $1.25 :
hot waffles, $2; mush and milk, $1.50;
Boston baked beans, $1.50; sardines,
$1.25; stewed corn, $1.50; soup (as it is),
$1-
This is a great big country, and there
seems to be some gold most everywhere,
and very rich in places. One man gets
rich and one hundred go, broke. It is
like every other mining camp I have
ever known,' except tbe country is cold.
Not this winter; but the "oldest inhab
itant" tells me this la the mildest win
ter he ever saw. Latter part of Novem
ber, in the thirties; December 1st, 48
below (coldest this season); only twice
below 30 since tbat date, then onlj for a
aay.
Two blacksmith shops here, and noth
ing to do now. Running sleds in early
winter and rustling picks in summer is
their chief business. There are only a
few horses here and it costs $15 to get
one shod. It costs $5 per hour for team
hire. ' -
The district judge is bung np (no dogs
to bring the mail and mounted police)
325 miles above here. Dame Rumor
says that no one except a licensed prac
titioner can appear as counsel. Like
Crosse & Blackwcll, English men. seem
to nave a monopoly in their line.
We have bad no mail service since the
middle of October, and then a private
party brought 4000 letters, but carried
no papers. Day, the U. S. mail carrier
to Circle City, threw up his contract,
We are not in Alaska by about eighty
miles as tbe river runs.
There are many chances here for one
to made money, provided be bas a con
science pliable to every touch of interest.
Respectfully,
Joseph A. Wilson.

Hiss Clark's Death.
Miss Ethel Clark died at tbe home of
her parents at Hartland Sunday
morning, aged about 16 years. Miss
Clark bas been suffering from heart dis
ease for over two years. The last attack
which eventually caused her death.
came on last November. From tbat
on until a few weeks ago she has been
under medical treatment in this city ;
but in spite of the fact tbat every means
available was used to save her, tbe
heart trouble brought on an attack of
dropsy, and tbe complication caused
her death.
She leaves a father, mother, two sis
ters and two brothers to mourn her loss.
Her parents take this means of ex
pressing their appreciation of tbe many
acts of kindness shown to them while
tbey were in this city by all their
friends, especially those living on the
hill, in which vicinity they resided
while here.
