inexpensive route, with exception per
haps of two miles, and even those two

tour through the Sumpter, Greenhorn,
Prairie City, Strawberry Butte and
Granite districts and was rewarded in
finding five claims that they think will
well repay development. From these
point! they went to Trout creek, in
Crook county, where they located three
claims, of twenty acres each and did
considerable development work. Assays
of gold and silver from these claims
were very satisfactory. Mr. Fairchild
thinks the Trout creek or Ash wood
mining district has a bright future be
fore it. In his opinion no one need go
to Klondike in search of gold, as there
is more gold in Eastern Oregon, almost
at our very doors. Mr. Fairchild has a
high opinion of the Golden Eagle mine
in the Greenhorn district, that is owned
b Dalles parties.

A small boy, who is a close observer
and somewhat of a poet, gave a history
of his father's pants as follows: "When
dad has worn his breeches out, tbey
pass to brother John, then ma she trims
them round about and William puts
them on. - When William's legs too long
have grown and the trousers fail to hide
'em, then Walter claims 'em for his
own and hides himself inside 'em ; next
Sim's fat legs tbey close Invest, and
when tbey won't stretch tighter, they're
turned and shortened for roe the
writer. Ma works 'em into cafs and
rugs when I have burst the stitches.
At doomsday we, perhaps, shall s je tbe
last of dad's old britches."

An Astorian dispatch of the 30th says:
"The run of fish still continues excellent
and the gillnetters and Feigners are
reaping a great harvest." Which prompts
Tux Chronicle to suggest that the gill
netters and seigners should be stopped,
once and for ever, from destroying the
salmon industry at Astoria and only the
wheels and traps on the Upper river,
that catch nothing, because there is
nothing to catch, be allowed to operate.

swered: "Gentlemen, I voted for Bry
an four years ago, but you bet your life
I won't do it again. McKinley is good
enough for me. I am going to vote this
time to let well enough alone."

says in relation to the 1ft to 1 folly
which Bryan peremptorily ordered into
tbe democratic platform, that "no mat

It is the esteemed Jacksonville Times
whose editor helped twice to nominate
Bryan, which makes this profound ob
servation: "The price of tea was raised
three cents a pound last week. Thus
does the cost of every necessary of life
Increase in these piping times of repub
lican prosperity, without an adequate
enhancement in the wages of the major

to endure it." Welt, if the partial fail
ure of the tea crop in Japan and the
war in China have nothing to do with
the rise in the price of tea, but it is to
be laid at the door of the republican ad
ministration, then In all fairness the
Jacksonville editor should not criticise
