The result waa Hill spent all of Brinkley's money that he could get hold of, and is accused of being the means of breaking np his home. J. O. Hill, a well-known mining man of Weiaer, accompanied by a party of several gentlemen, Colorado capitalists, Is now engaged in prospecting the bars on Snake river, be'ow Huntington, tor fine gold placers. Mr. Hill ha already located his party on 320 acres of gold bearing lands, and it Is the intention of the company to employ in the working of their mine a new machine, particu larly constructed for the saving of fine gold. Mr. Hill say the new device will handle and save the gold from ninety eight cubic yards of dirt and gravel per Ui possible that the seven-mile ditch op at Fort Klamath will not only irrigate vast grain fields, but also grind the corn. It la now about six miles long, and will ..... m nnn innhaa of water when com- 1 pleted. As all the grading and soraplng I will be completed thi fall and early in the pring, nothing will be left by next May but to clean it out. The fall of water 1 about ten feet to the mile, and 'at about a mile from the head of the I ditoh is a very convenient millslte, with 'plenty of fine timber close at hand. ! There Is but little doubt that a flouring mill will rise up at that point in the near future. I EDUCATIONAL.

Of these teachers 227,200 are females, and 125,000 are males. The average wages are for male $42.43; for females, $34.27 per month. PERSONAL MENTION.

The Probability of an Extra Session of Congress Immediately Following Cleveland's Inauguration. The President haa appointed Albert H. Naah postmaster at Salt Lake City, Utah, vice Irving A. Benton, who re signed to accept the appointment of United States Marshal. There are a number of vacancies in the higher offices of the executive depart ments of the government, and the prob lem of filling them has been consider ably complicated by the results of the recent election. In view of the fact that a general change will be made by the new administration in March, the vacan cies are not altogether desirable prize. Among them are the First Assistant Postmaster-Generalship, Commissioner of the General Land Office, and a num ber of diplomatic places, including the Russian, Portugese, Italian and Swiss Missions. The resignation of Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury Nettleton and Mr. urounse, who was the Republi can candidate for Governor of Nebraska, will take effect next month. The Presi dent will also have four vacancies on the bench to fill between now and March 4. These are life positions and the most al luring prizes remaining within the gift of the administration. The probability f an extra session of Congress immedkely following the in auguration of the President-elect is a subject of general conversation in Wash ington. A special session of the Senate is always called at the beginning of a new administration, to confirm mem bers of the Cabinet and diplomatic rep resentatives of the United States abroad, but the present election, having turned on questions of a domestic policy, it is said to be obvious to experienced politi cal leaders of all parties that an extra session of both Houses of Congress is an almost inevitable result. Secretary of the Treasury Foster among others ad mits this. The country, he says, chal lenged the judgment of the Republicans on the McKinley bill, and the result must be accepted as the will of the peo- ftle that a different policy must be put nto effect. Ex-Secretary Bayard writes to a friend here in like effect, adding the people will expect this to be done with out unnecessary delay. Advices from Samoa are to the effect that the differences between the factions on the islands, headed bv Mataafa, the recognized King, and Malietoa, the claimant to the throne, have reached an acute phase. To fully protect the inter ests of the United States it has been de cided that a veesel be sent there at the earliest practicable moment. Besides this reason, based on expendiency, it appears that under the term ef the trip artite treaty the United State is under obligation to keep a naval vessel at Samoa. There has been no United States naval vessel there for many months, the Iroquois being the last to call. The Alliance is now at Honolulu, with the Boston, under order to Samoa, but these orders were countermanded, probably because of a critical turn in Hawaiian politics. It is the present in tention to send in her place the Ranger, recently of the Behrmg sea fleet and now at Mare Island, San Francisco. It will require about a month's time to pre pare the vessel for the trip, and another month or six week for the passsge, so she will not bj able to reach Samoa be fore next year. The case of the alleged extensive frauds in land entries, which were in vestigated during the administration of Land Commissioner Sparks, and the dis covery of which caused a suspension of survey works over the public land in California, New Mexico, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Arizona, are at least to be brought to trial in the court. Proceedings have been ordered in the courts of San Francisco against J. D. Hall for perjury in regard to the sur vey of public land. This case is to be followed np by the trial of J. R. Glover, J. A. Benson and G. H. Perrus, expert surveyors, who, it ia charged, in 1880 formed a syndicate in San Francisco for the survey of lands and fraudulently un dertook to control all special deposit tracts on the Pacific slope. Certain banks, it is alleged, supplied the money required for the deposits, the agents of the syndicate pocketing the award of contracts at the several offices of the Surveyors-General and the contracting dep uty executing a power of attorney to the banks for all money payable under uch contracts. The principal location for operation was in Central and South ern California, but extended into other States and Territories. Several million dollar were secured by these schemes. WORLD'S FAIR NOTES. Chicago More Than Fulfills the Promise It Made to the Country With Regard to the Fair. The Scotch Home Industrie Associa tion proposes to reproduce the cottage of Robert Burns at the World' Fair. Emilio Castelar, the renowned states man, orator and author of Spain, is the choice of the entire World' Fair man agement for orator on the opening day o? the World's Fair. The insurance written upon the World's Fair buildings now aggregates $4 500,000. When the fair opens next spring it is thought the contents of the buildings will reach the value of $100, 000,000 at least. The electricians who propose to have exhibits at the Chicago World' Fair are Indignant because of the decision of the Board of Directors to close the fair at 7 o'clock each evening, as it will not per mit of a good display of their products. Chicago has more than fulfilled the promise it made to the oountry with re gard to the Fair. That city has spent $10,000,000 in providing a home for it, and it has spent them not only with characteristic liberality, but with such good taste, with such respect, reverence, even, for art, as to command universal admiration and commendation. The promise Chicago made was to erect the buildings by May 1, 1893. They are al ready erected, and they surpass in their grandeur and beauty all possible ex pectation. The city having done so much, the country should not do less proportionately. First of all, it should cordially and gratefully recognise the magnitude and the value of the great work Chicago ha done, and it should I then resolve, the preparation for the j Fair being o adequate, the completion of it should be equally so; that it should be in deed and fact a complete exposi tion of all the products and productions of the world' arts and sciences, and es pecially of those of thi hemisphere.
