The import and export of Porto

An army officer write from the Phil

that the bell ia not beard in many parts

claima there, and are now forming a

water down to tbe mines for hydraulic
purposes. An assay was made of this
ore last week, which went $10.16 to the
ton. It is cement gravel, some 50 feet
deep, and covers a large area of ground
in that country. There is from 1 foot
to 200 feet of lava on top of this cement
gravel, but can be easily removed by
hydraulic power as they can easily get a
400-foot fall of water right to their
claims. These men are Jubilant over
tbeir find and aay if it will even keep up
to $2 or $3 pii ton all tbe way, it will
be a bonanza and will be one of the
biggest finds in the northwest, aa there
are millions of tona of thia gravel there.

The health authorities of The Dalles
and Hood River, Ore., and Klickitat
and Skamania counties, Wash., have
established a quarantine against Cooks
Landing, Drano, Underwood, White
Salmon and Ringen, Wash., and the
D. P. A A. N. Company are forbidden,
till fni ther notice, to receive freight or
passsengers from these places for the
other points mentioned. The action of
tho health officers is based on a report
that there are some twenty-five raes of
smallpox in ihe neighborhood of Under
wood and White Salmon, four rases at
the latter place and twenty-one at the
former. It Is said the diseaso haa been
raiting there for upwards of two weeks,
but that the people kept the matter
concealed till two or three days ago.
Tbe quarantine regulationa do not, of
course, prevent freight and passengers
being landed at tho points infected.
The editor of the Fossil Journal, who
is himself from the land "o the mount
ain and the mist," apologizes in charac
teristic Scotch fashion for the mildness
of the rebuke recently administered to
young Chester Dolph for abusing bis
wife, by Police Judge Cameron. Says
the Journal: "The people of Portland,
in passing judgment on their new police
judge concerning this bis first important
case, should extenuatingly consider
tbree things: First, he ia new In the
judge business and may be a henpecked
husband himself ; second, he ia a Scotch
man, and it is a widely-known axiom
tbat 'Scotch coortin' ia fechtin' an'
acartin';' third, he may be from Olesca',
where half the women would leave tbeir
men if they failed to trounce them regu
larly at least once a week."

If all the stories in partisan papers of
accessions to the republican party from
the democrats and vice versa, are true,
and tbe changes continue in the same
proportion till November, a'.l the repub
licans will vote for Bryan and all the
democrats for McKinley.

Kansas has been the prolific breeding
ground of populism; but populism" is
largely a matter of bad crops, droughts
and grasshoppers. This year there is
an enormous wheat crop in Kansas, ami
there la a practical certainty of a ready
market fur it. Nothing more untoward
could have possibly happened for the
politicians whose prospect of success is
based upon a reasonable amount of ca
lamity. The wheat crop ia likely to
carry Kansas tor McKinley. Philadel

At 3 Monday morning a Ore broke
out in the grocery store ot C. 6. Smith,
in tbe East End, or possibly, as some
think, in tbe narrow alley between Mr.
Smith's store and that of bis neighbor,
Charles Cohen. Before the alarm was
t irned in the 6 re bad got considerable
headway and had lighted up tbe entire
East End. Tbe alarm was turned in by
Chief Charles Lauer, and in short
time seven powerful st'eama were play
ing on the four buildings that were
doomed to destruction before it was pos
sible for the fire department to get in
their work.
The efficiency of the fire department
and the superior advantages of the water
supply were in marked contrast with
those of tbe big fire of 1891, which start
ed near the same place, and to both, but
especially to the superior water supply,
is due the fact that a large portion of the
East End is not in ruins.
The amount of property destroyed will
aggregate in the neighborhood of $10,-
00Q. Tbe most of it waa covered by in
surance. The only exception waa Cbaa.
Burchtorf, who moved his bicycle repair
stock and tools into one of the burned
buildings yesterday without having pro
cured a transfer of insurance. Mr.
Burchtorf estimates his loss at $1000.
The C. S. Smith stock of groceries was
a total loss and waa partially insured.
The building, owned by Fred Fisher
and valued at $1100 waa inauredfor $500.
The Biondin barber shop was partially
intured, but not sufficiently to cover
Mr. Blondio'a loss. The soda water
factory of Weaver A Hayward waa in
sured for $2000. Weaver A Hayward
owned their own building, which is
practically mined, but tbe machinery is
only partially so. Charles Cohen's
stock of gents' furnishings ia badly dam
aged and tbe building is a wreck. Cohen
carried $2000 insurance, which will prob
ably cover his loss. The personal effects
of Wallace Weaver, of Weaver & Hay
ward, were insured for $150.
Mr. Weaver's sister-in-law had re
cently come here from Kansas and was
stopping with the Weaver family over
the soda factory. She lost all her cloth
ing and a purse containing $500, $480 of
which was fortunately in gold, and was
recovered intact.
