"We, the Republican voters of the state of Oregon, in convention assem bled, congratulate the people of the state as well as of the whole nation on the unmistakable fact that the dark cloud of adversity, which has hung like a pall over our fair land, has been dis sipated. We recognise that the return of prosperity is due to the restoration of the Republican paity to power. " We are in favor of the maintenance of the present gold standard; we are unqualifiedly opposed to the free coin age of silver and to all other schemes looking to the debasement of the onr rency and the repudiation of debt We believe that the best money in the world is none too good to be assured by the government to the laborer as the fruit of his toil and to the farmer as the price of bis crop. We condemn the continued agitation for free silver as calculated to jeopardize the prosperity of the country and to shake Jhe confi dence of the people in the maintenance of a wise financial policy; we particu larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts of the free-silver agitators to array class against class and section against sec tion; we declare that the interests of all classes and of all sections of our country alike demand a sound and stable financial system. "While we deplore the imminence of war, we recognize that the country is on the eve of war, undertaken for the vindication of the national honor and the performance of a work dictated by every instinct of humanity; we declare that the administration is entitled . in tins conflict to the confidence and sup port of the entire people. "We are firmly attached to the prin ciples of the federal constitution; we recognise that representative govern ment is one of these principles, and we are opposed to any change in law or constitution which will abrogate this time-honored principle. "We are in favor of retrenchment and reform in state and county matters. "We demand strict economy in pub lic affairs, and the abolition of ail need " less offices and commissione. : "The salmon fishing industry, so fruitful a source of revenue to the state, should be fostered, and to that end we favor state aid in the artificial propa gation of salmon, and their distribu tion in the waters of this state. "We affirm our allegiance to the principles of the Republican party of tbe United States, as enunciated by the Republican convention in St Louis in 181)8..' " "We denounce the fusion party of Oregon as an aggregation of spoilsmen, who are ready to subordinate principles to offices. Each of the parties to this compact is willing to stultify itself and form alliances with elements which it has heretofore denounced as dangerous and unfit to be intrusted with power; we declare that good government can not come from such an alliance."

' ;' " BIGGEST FIND OF ALL. A Great Mlae Near Baaanvtlle, County. Grant W. P. Mount, of Susanville, arrived in Canyon City Wednesday, having in his possession some of tbe richest and most beautiful free gold quarts speci mens ever seen in this country, taken from his recent discovery, the Sky scraper mine. The specimens exhibited were of the pretty white quarts variety, almost identically the same as taken from the Vitruemine, near Baker City, and came nearer being nuggets than quarts specimens. "I have known for several months past that the Skyscraper would, if suffi ciently developed, become a bullion producer of no mean importance," said Mr. Mount, "but the past week, has shown it to be perhaps the richest mine on the coast Even prior to the finding of the extremely rich body of ore oncov ered a few days ago, tbe normal and continuous wealth of the ledge waa re garded by practical mining men as phenomenal, the returns from samples taken indiscriminately ranging from f80 to $350 per ton. April 1 a body of gold was encountered in the level fol lowing the ledge, a description of which would sound moie like fiction than fact At this point the lively, clear cut, hard quarts is literally welded and bound together by the yellow metal, samples going ss high ss 1150,000 per ton. From eight ounces of this ore. 25 waa extracted in coarse gold, while se lected specimens would give greater re turns. From the result of three days' stripping we estimate that 130,000 worth of ore will be taken out The deposit of gold has been traced along the ledge for a distance of 1.700 feet, showing an ore chute of very unusual length, and the ledge ranging in width from one to foul feet Every particle of the rock extracted from the com mencement of operations last August up to the present time will average (100 per ton, something unknown in the history of gold mining tbe world over. "It is not a pocket ledge by any means, as may be surmised from its ex treme richness, bnt at times the gold seems to be concentrated in very rich bunches, though without interfering a particle with the regular precipitation of the wealth characteristic of the ledge. "Negotiations are under way for the erection of a modern stamp mill of large capacity, including rockbreaker, concentrator "snd self-feeder. Just as soon as the roads are in good condition the plant will be forwaided to tbe prop erty without delay." The Skyscraper is not the only mine in the Susanville district, by any means. Messrs. De Witt and McLean, operating the Hughes group in the in terest of a San Franoisco company, have completed their shipment of ore and are now pushing development work vigorously snd as soon as tbe roads will admit they will have a 10-stamp mill. The ore body exposed by Horace Sloan last winter looks like a bouquet to a miner's eye, and is already attracting the attention of mining men. TJie ore chute is between five and eight feet wide, and in the neighborhood of 60 feet long. Milling tests show a free gold deposit of almost (9 per ton, while a concentrating test will go lao. The Gem of the Mountains, owned by Mr. Blake, of Canyon City, now bonded to Mr. Mount, though base, is one of the most promising mining prop erties of that nature in Eastern Oregon Development work is limited, but what has been done is sufficient to demon' strate that an ore body of prodigious eise will be unfolded as depth is at tained, and also that the precipitation of gold will be greater. The average value of the heavy base ore is in the neighborhood of $50 per ton, and the ledge is fully five feet wide in the hot torn of the 80-foot shaft. About 80 feet above this ledge is another strong one, running parallel and carrying small deposit of free gold, and from the trend of tbe two ledges they will cer tainly merge together at no very great ALASKA SALMON FISHERIES. Secretary of the Treasury Has a BUI for Their I'rotectloa. The secretary of the treasury has submitted to oonsrwa the draft of a bill for .the amendment of the laws now in force tor the protection of the salmon fisheries of Alaska. The secre tary thinks that the present laws are inadequate to meet the exisliug ie quirements and should be ammided. The proposed changes are based on rec ommendations submitted by sgenU wbo were appointed to investigate the state of the fisheries, and are as fol lows: Traps should only be erected under regulations prescribed by the secretary of the treasury. The protection to salmon trout should 'be withdrawn, as those fish are said to be destructive to salmon spawn and fry. The laws should be extended to ter ritorial waters so as to prevent the erection of obstructions in rivers and streams.' ' No salmon canneries should be erect ed in Alaska without permission from the secretary of the treasury. An annual statement should be made by all canneries and such establish ments to special agents for salmon tioh eriea, and employee of the treasury department should be assigned to act as special agents without extra compensa tion. A tax should be levied upon the out put of all canneries, salteriee, fish oil and fertiliser works; and the penalty for violation of the fisheries law should be increased from'11,000 to 5,000.

ANIMALS AS MODELS. 8am of the experiences ol aa Art lit In Sketching From Life. "Leaves from the Sketch Book of an Animal Artist," is an article by Mere dith Nugent in the St. Nioholtis. Mr. Nugent says: There was an elephant in the Jardin-dos-Pluneti that would not pose, unless be were paid for it, and paid in advance. Then he took pay ment in buna and pie, but if these wore not forthcoming, he would deliberately walk to the farther end of "the enclosure and turn his hack. The only way to got a drawing of this big fellow was to engage some one to feed him mean while. In the same gardens I saw an unusually interesting sight one morn ing. A little aunbear with a large marrow bone in his shaggy paws was resorting to all sorts of bear devices to get the sweet marrow. Suddenly he lay down on his back, placed one end of the bone in his Jaws, and with his hind paws tipped the other end of the bone so high up that the choice morsel slipped into his mouth. If the animal could only have understood the shouts of approval that greeted this perform ance, I think it would have turned his head. In one of the sketches you will see how this feat Was accomplished. As rule I find tbe models very good na tural. True, they keep a sharp eye on nieforthe first few days, but after that are generally quite friendly. Of course, there are some parts of the business they do not like. The oriole never was happy when I held liim In my band for close inspection, but a beautiful cat which rebelled when I first plaoed her in a bird cage to keep her in front of me grew so fond of being there, and after I finished my drawings she cried and cried to be put back into the cage. Intense curiosity is the great chaiacteristio of animals when in the studio. They are as much interested in yon and the surroundings as yon are in them. This is especially the case with birds. Leave' the studio but a few minutes, and these two legged fellows are hopping into every thing. Of course they inspect the paper on which yon have been draw ing, and the paints, and tbe brushes, and occasionally vary these" proceeding by taking a bath in tbe water bowl.

When once tbe fact gets firmly estab lished in the minds of the farmers of the United States that it is more ex pensive to maintain bad roads than to make and keep in condition goou roaua they will take active interest in tho question and ah era of road building will begin . which will add to their wealth, prosperity and comfort, and benefit the country at large as much as has tbe laying of railroad tracks snd the advance of the steam locomotive. Let those engaged in agriculture etudr such figures as those recently issued by the supervisor of New York, wherein he shows that it costs half as much to haul produce three miles by wagon as it costs to haul it 500 miles on the rail road. The supervisor figures out that with a system of good macadam roads the farmers would save an amount each year equal to the interest on from $10 to $30 an acre, according to the crop raised, and would increase the value of their land either to sell or bold by a like amount rolle Shark Catcher. Among the multifurous duties which demand tbe attention of the Calcutta police the capture ol sharks in the Hooghly finds place.
