A LITTLE OF Oflioial reportn show that tlie British losseu in South Africa amount to about one-fifth of the entire force sent there, or ovor 48,- 000 men. Several vain Waahingtonians have been swindled out of $5 each by a sharper, who promised to have their pictures appear in a San Fran oisco paper. Twin calves were born at Sum ner recently one on Saturday, the other Tuesday following. The first could not swallow, and died. The second bad no tail, but is alive and well. The census leports indicate tbat Chicago will have a little short 1,700,000 population, and the windy oity people are disappointed, as they felt Buie the number would reach 2,000,000,000. All cities seem figure less than expectations on of ficial oount. Tbe Russians are accused of do ing the most looting in China, and as such soldiers get only 20 cents a month tbey are probably forced to do so. Tbe Japs are paid only dollar a month, but other national lliee do better, the United States paying the highest. The slate board of equalization has fixed the assessment on tbe va rious railroad properties, and there has been an increase of about 1,000,000. The Southern Pacific is assessed at $10,500 per mile thii year, wnicn is an increase ot over. $300. Yreka Journal. The Cbehalis Bee-Nugget says tbat the creamery at that place has turned out 10,000 pounds of butter and 600 pounds of . cheese during June. It also estimates that with tbe Toledo, Browning, Centraliaand smaller creameries in operation Lewis County's dairy product will reach $75,000 to $80,000 per year. The railroad from Skagway AlasKa, norm, nas now Deen ex tended !o the White Horse rapids, a distance of 112 miles. Two trains a day run from Skagway, one leav mg at o :du a. m., anu one at I p. m., and about tbe same time from White Horse. It takes nine and ten hours to make the trip each way. ineouiciais in wasmngton are considering the question what can be done about bringing home from Cape Nome the 4000 stranded miners. It is probable that the government will do this in some way, beoause if it did not bring them home it would be compelled to care for them during eight months of the fall, winter and spring. There is a Hebrew court in Great Britain known as the Beth Din, which is presided over by tbe Very Rev. Dr. Adler, chief rabbi of Eng land. Its decisions are not, of course, legally binding, but all who come before tbe court are asked to sign a form accepting the decisions as final. It was in this way that Moses used to adjudicate upon the differences of the children of Israel "Slot Maohines Preved to be an Outrageous Form of Robbery," ib the big head in an article in tbe Examiner covering two pages, with illustrations to prove the assertion. The Examiner says the machines as they leave the faotory are guar anteed to give the operator 65 per cent the best of the bargain, the man with the nickels haying the 35 per oent ohanoe of getting even. The artiole is considerable of a reve lation of the ways of the world. : ' It costs about $3 a word to "get J cable news from China, whioh fact may account for the contradiotori ness of some of the news supposed to oome from that country per hapB most of it is made up at this NO. 33. end of the cable. Portland Tele gram. It is reported through French channels that 7000 Christians have been massacred at Pao Ting. Fienoh government answers tbat no order to leave Pekin will be given unlil route is safe. . An inscription on an old tomb stone in a Pennsylvania cemetery reads : "He was an honest man." But a further- inspection discloses the fact that the man died in 1708. Within three months, probably by November 1, a thoroughly fin ished quarantine station, eqnipped with every modern appliance es sential to such an institution, will have been established at the mouth of the Columbia river. Tbe steamer Orizaba has been chartered by the United States gov ernment (o lay a cable between St. Michael and Cape Nome. The ves sel will leave San - Francisco this week for Seattle, where she will take the cable on board and then pro ceed north. The oable will connect the military posts in Alaska. An exchange says that under tbe many advertisements in a recent newspaper column headed "Boys Wanted,'' seven oloeed with these words "No cigarette smokers need apply." There are abundent oppor tunities for boys of good intelect and character to rise. Large buisness concerns are just as desirous of get ting andkeeping trustworthy hands as the right kind of boys are of se curing well-paying positions. Em ployers of men count habits a long way in summing up the traits want- ep in their employee. One may laugh, sneer or mock all they please about the Salvation Army, yet they are a power for eood. Corruption frequently gets the upper hand, yet the organiz- lion goes ahead performing its mis sion of uplifting the lowest strata of fallen humanity. Recently they have branched out in another line of good work. No sooner had the corruption of the ice trust been ex posed than tbey established depots where they sold six pounds of ice for one cent. The Youth's Com panion, in this connection, aptly re marks: "The man whose sick child has been relieved by this charity is not likely to object to tbe music of the cornet and bass drum." Inde pendence Enterprise. A California gentleman who re cently returned from Nome, Alaska, Baid a transportation company, was endeavoring to get people to start home on the barge "Skookum," which, he said, could not possibly make the trip in safety. He said the barge would hold 2500 people, and the company offered to carry them for $10 a piece if the passen gers would furnish their own food. This was quite an inducement, as there were mauy thousands of peo ple at Nome who had no money with whioh to get home, and were living from band to mouth. A boat ar rived in Seattle Wednesday with 1000 passengers on board, and every out going boat from Nome is crowd ed with people. He said that al though there were a few people in Nome who were making money, there were thousands . who were penniless and had no way of getting home.

No attention will be paid by Governor Roosevelt to any eastern state outside of New York, and unless conditions change materially,' he won't go into New England at all. Nye's Big Strike. From the Oregonlan. J. S. Howard, chief engineer of tbe High Line Ditch Company, is in the city from Gold Hill. He says the recent strike by J. C. Nye at Galls creek is one of the biggest gold finds in the history of the state. Nye purchased the prospect a few months ago for $600, and when the time came to pay for it be banded the seller $400 more, making it an even $1000. Nye afterward disposed of a half interest to a third party for $9000 cash, and since that time fully $50,000 has been taken out. Still, there is $50,000 more in sight along the face of tbe tunm 1, and there is no telling the value of the ledge, as tunnel 1b simply following tbe vein, and tbe mine has therefore not been "butchered up." Old miners think the pay streak runs through a well defined ledge, and there is no indi cation of it3 finally "pinching out." An Oregon Hero. In the August number of Mc Clure's, Lieutenant Commander Jas. C. Gilmore tells the story of his cap ture, together with his boat's crew, in Baler hay, Luzon, by the Fili pinos. He relates the brave action of young Yenville, whose mother lives at Sellwood, Oregon. In the fight which took place in Baler bay, while Gilmore and his men were in the boat before their capture, a rifle Venville was trying to use got out of order, Gilmore says: "Venville, one of our apprentice boys, attempted to fix it. A bullet went through the Besh of his neck. 'Mr. Gilmore, I'm hit!' he said; but continued working at the rifle.: A second shot plowed through the boy's breast and came out at bis armpit. 'I'm hit again, Mr. Gil more.' He was still trying to pull out the jammed clip, when a ball out n forrow in the side of his head. 'Mr. Gilmore, they've hit me again lr He wiped the blood from his brow and eyes with his coat Bledve and then returned to bis task as calmly as if it were only a mosquito that had stung him. It was not three minutes till a ball crashed into his ankle, inflicting a painful hurt. There was a slight quiver in the lad's voice as he looked up to me and said, 'Mr. Gilmore, I'm hurt once more; but 1 ve nxed tbe gun, sir.' This beardless boy of 17 had never been under fire before." " ' There is at least some consola tion to the mother in the tribute paid her boy by Lieutenant Com mander Gilmore, although she may never see her son again. -The Mail for job printing. m V v v : 'V
