The little 6-year-old on of Mr. and Mr. Leslie Bailey wa killed In Howard' sawmill on Milton creek last Tuesday morn ing. The little fellow wa looking at the machinery, and in ome way no one leema to know how got caught while the machinery wa id motion, resulting in instant death. One arm war torn off at the shoulder and the other one cut nfTbolow the elbow. One leg wa also torn from the body. The boy wss a grand son of Mr. and Mr. C. 8. Emerson, of Houlton, who are wU known in the county. His Answek Filed Thomr n. Tongue, cangrvsman-lect from tbe first Oregon district, ha filed hi answer in the contested election case brought by W. 8. Vanderberg, hi de feated populist opponent. The ans wer, like the complaint, contain 32 page of type written copy, in which the defendant denies that the plaintiff received a plurality of the legal vote in the district at the last general election, and seta up in rebuttal that fraud were perpetrated in oerlain populist strongholds, thereby depriv ing the contestce of many votes to which he wa justly entitled. These Icngthly document will go before the committiMion privilege and election in the next bouse of representative. Buimjino A Uailroad. Rainier probably presents the busiest scene of any place in the county just now. The construction work of the Astoria rail road i going on there with about twenty team jd scrapers grading (he principal street. Tbe dirt is being used to muke the large All necessary between Kainier and Cedar Lauding. The contractor hav agreed to grade all the principal streets of the town in Older to get earth for the (ill, and eveu then they will not have enough by many thousand of yard. The street grading, however, is about the only present benefit Kainier will derive from the construction of the road through town, for the workmen do not purchase any aupplie from the local merchant because they ar re- ?uired to buy what they consume roin the contrsctors store which i tationod there for that especial pur pose. The men are paid $1.60 per day anJ required to board at the com pany mess house at a cost of $-1.60 per week, thus paying half they receive for board. In addition to this hos pital dues to theanioiiutof fl a month is charged op to the workmen. Mar ried men living in the town are not employed because tbey can aot afford lo work for $4 25 per week, which i all they would hav left after paying board and hospital due. But the As toria railroad i actually building, and the work i being done in real railroad style, every yard ot earth being placed with the intention ot making a good roadbed. A trip down tbe river will convince anyone that the Astoria railroad i lo be a reality. Strayed. From R. Cox' ranch at Warren, one dark-red bull, two year old, lop of horn (awed off.

Last week the junior proprietor of this paper returned from a four week's trip through the Trail creek mining district In British Columbia. A few words In expla nation of the resources of that country and tlis wealth of tbe mines might be Interest ing to the readers of this paper, lienre In an abrevlated way I will attempt to en lighten you ; Rossland, which Is the central point for quit all that section of the dominion, Is a town of abeut 8000 inhabitants, Including miners and mine operators, and is lest tlian four years old. It Is located about twenty miles Inside the dominion boundary line, and is 140 miles north ef Spokane. At this town are located tbe mot wealthy nines In the Kootente districts tbe La Rol, War Knglo, Center Star, Cliff, Josle, City of Spokane, Nickel Plate, and many other tins properties all In a radius of perhaps mie mile, and all adjoining tlis.townslte of Kosiland. It Is to this place that all travel centers, and from thsre prospectors go In ail directions. Tbe entire country for hun dreds of miles, one might say, is an Im mense body of rich mineral. Of the mines at itossland, which I have mentiomt above, tber Is but one which Is shipping or tbe Le Itol and from that one are dally ship ped 80 tons of ore, which net tbe owners more than 1100 per ton. Tbe ore Is taken fcj Trail, seven miles distant on the Colum bia river, to a smelter, where It is reduced, The machinery at that mine Is of sufficient capacity and the fore of men sufficiently large to enabs the operators to lift 200 tons of ore per day, which, with the exception of tbe 80 tons tbat are shipped, goes on the dump, and thore it will reiaala until such time as there can be a smelter built with sufficient capacity to reduce tbe entire out pat of that and other mines. It should not be understood that Le Rol is the only mine in operation, for every one of the mines mentioned are actively en gaged In raising hundreds of tons of ore every day. All of this ore, of course, goes to the dump for want of means of transpor tation and a smelter to reduce It, both of which will come as fast at men and money can secure them. Just west of Roailand, less tbaa a quarter of a mile distant, is Red mountain, from which so much rich ore is being taken. This mountain is nearly round, and to its summit is perhaps 2400 feet above the city. As development work progresses, interested parties and experts ar more fully convinced tbat this hill is one solid body of mineral, aad this one par ticular mountain it not tbe only one on which so much development work Is being done. Oa every side of the city are to be seen large mining plants being erected and in operation. As I stated before, tbe entire country has Su far been prospected and de veloped at to substantiate tbe belief tbat there la one Immense, solid mass of min eral the country over. Eighteen miles above Trail, on the oppo site side of tbe Columbia river, there is an other mining vamp beiag developed and built up, which promises to b little behind Camp Rossland in wealth. This is Mont gomery camp, belter known as Waterloo. There are at present several group of pros pects being developed by wealthy corpora tions at this camp, and there no longer re mains a doubt as to the future of the place, as at tbat camp, too, are immense bodies of mineral. I am only repeating what I heard hundreds of people remark, when I say that there is no longer any donbt as to the future of these camps, and that the eyes of tbe world srs turned in that direc tion. Gold exist in paying quantities, be sides the country is Immensely rich ia cop per and Iron. Business prospects are good in all that section of country, especially at Rossland, where there Is such an immense volume of trade carried on. Kvory brunch of busi ness known to the commercial world Is to be found there, and the transient travel is of such magnitude as to support it. The town of Rossland is an unincorpor ated place, and notwithstanding tbe fact of Its being; in Canada, the style of the town is strictly American, nevertheless tbe city is under control of the dominion government. The mining recorder is the city's executive, and to him all plans must be submitted. He, in his dignity, slta as judge and jury, and he sees tbat tbe law is enforced to tbe letter. Tbere exists very llttlo litigation because one's rights are re spected. Tbe town of Trail, too , is destined to be of no little Importance as a business center, It being tbe port ot entrv on the dominion siJe of the line. It is the terminus of the narrow guage railroad running to Rossland, the large smelter being also located at that place. There, too,' is already to be found great activity In all lines of business, and as the country develops so also will Trail grow and develop into a beautiful city, pos sessing much wealth. Tbe city of Northport, the American port of entry, which Is located on the left hand bank of the Columbia river, fourteen miles Inside the line, is destined to be a city of much commercial importance. It is at this place that all the freight and passen ger traffic is transferred to steamers for British Columbia points, ft being on the lino of the Spokane Falls and Northern railroad, besides it is to be made the termi nus of the Red Mountain road now being built from Rossland. Tbis is to be a stand ard gauge road, and is being built by the Corhln syndicate for the purpose of trans porting the ore from the Trail creek min ing district. Because of no mention having been made ot the mineral deposits of tbe Col ville reservation it does not lessen their Im portance or cast a doubt as to their wealth. In this section of country are just ar good propositions as in either of the district above mentioned. The ore is, perhaps, of a little different nature, but the Colville is certain to assert its possessions. D. D. Country justice of the peace can secure all necessary blank at this office on short notice. Awarded Highest Honor World's Fair, Oold Medal, Midwinter Fair. 'DR' CREAM RAHIN6 Fit Moat Perfect Made. 40 Year the Standard. mm CROPS AND WEATHER. The following is the crop and weather re port for the week ending August 17 : Weather Warmer weather prevailed than during the preceding week. The mean temperature was 08 degrees, a rise of 4 dgrees, the Increase being principally In tne neat of tne uay. ine mgueai mmim ture for the week was Ml degrees at K: burg on the 11th, and the lowest was SO de grees, which occurred on Tuesday morning, 'ibe temperature decreased from Friday. A mist prevailed on Holiday morning, which amounted to from a trace to .01 of an inch. The weatber was clear up to Friday; since then high fog has prevailed in the mornings, clearing oil in the after noon. The winds have been variable, though generally northerly, and light In force. Ibe smoke, which was cleared away by the rains, is again, appearing and becoming more dense, Crops Harvesting and threshing con tinue. The weather has been favorable for tbis work, as well as for plowing for fall sown grain. Mowing is being nurhed with vigor, and more than usual will be done. The threshing returns show the full effects of the unfavorable year. Farms that have always had from 36 to 40 bushels of fall sown grain tier acre, have, this year, from 20 to 30 bushels. Early spring-sown grain is poorer, yielding only from 10 to 18 bush els per acre. Late-sown spring grain will yield even less. The grain la somewhat smaller, and In places shriveled; this was caused by the hot, dry weather of July. Fur the first time in the history of the country the grain crop is poor in a com parative sense. Oats are proportionately poor, and tbe same with other grain. Har vesting aiM threshing will continue for two weeks longer. Reports this week indicate that the rains did no damage, but were of great benefit to gardens ani late-sown grain. The potato crop was injured by the ryjuly wea'ber, but it has improved since the rain. Corn is unusually good. Corn is not grown extensively in Oregon, tor the cool nights are Injurious to its growth and development; this year, bow ever, the heat of July, which was unusual, proved very beneficial to the corn, and the rains then following gave ii unusual growtb. Hops are yet in burr, and from present in dications the picking will be ten days later than usual. Many hopya'ds have not been cultivated this year, owing to the poor hop market, but those that have been cultivated are mukiog good growth. Prunes are ripening, but owing to the fail ure of the prune crop manv growers will not have enough to run their dryer, while others will club together and in tbis way obtain enough green fruit to warrant the running ot the dryers. Peaches are ripen ing, but they, too, are a very deficient crop. Apples are not as good as usual, neither in quantity nor quality. Pears are ripening and thev will be a very fair crop. Blackberries continue to be quite plentiful. Watermelons and cassabaa are ripe and are very plentiful. The fruit crop being a par tial failure, and the grain crop as well, causes some to report the conditions, really worse than what they are. The cli matic conditions of May and fore part of June were phenomenal, and the result is a phenomena in the grain and fruit; Ibat Is, a shortage, conditions new to Oregon. The weatber conditions at present Indi cate continued fair weatber and slight tem perature changes for tbe next week. Warmer wealber will prevail in tbe after noon and it will be cooler at night, thus making the average about the same. Within tbe next two weeks cooler weather, day and night, will prevail. Should the terapeiature become by September 1 much cooler than it usually is, then the fall rains will set in- earlier than usual; but should temperature above the normal prevail, then tbe rains will be delayed. Meteoro logical xcience has ni I advanced to such a degree as yet as to allow of long-range and accurate forecasts; all long-range weather forecasts, covering several weeks or months, are based on unreliable data; they are not specific, intelligent or reliable. Through the work of tbe weather bureau it is probable tbat tbe time will come when very accurate short-time, and quite reliable long-time forecasts can be issued. VERNONIA VARIETIES. Rev.
