Oregon City.
. , -J -slrt Killer.
Every spring and fall large number?
of birds are killed by the Washington
monument. The city of Washington
seems to be directly in the route taken
by many of the migratory birds In the
flight between the north and the south,
and twice a year thousands of feath
ered songsters meet their death by fly
ing against the tall marble shaft in the
night Just now the fall slaughter is
at its height and every morning many
birds are to be seen about the base of
the monument. The dogs and cats of
that part of the city have learned that
the base of the monument is a good
place to get an early meal in the morn
ing without trouble, and many of them
are regularly on hand. Most of the
birds killed are yellow and black
throated warblers and small thrushes.
( Stone Agre picture Gallery.
A picture gallery that dates from th
stone age has been unearthed in a cav.
ern near Eyzies, France. The pictures,
which are all of prehistoric animals,
were not only cut in the rock, as is
usually the ease with such representa
tions, but were painted In several co!-i
ors and give some evidences of artistic
skill. There are eighty pictures,, of
which forty-nine represent bisons of
various kinds. The pigments used,
which are shades of red and brown,
have been found on analysis by Mois
san, the eminent French chemist, to be
ocliers mixed with tuitmto fragments
of transparent siiicu.

A Detective In a Barrel.
A Faris detective recently, concealed
himself in an empty wine barrel at
night to find some explanation of the
frequent thefts of wine from the stores
at Bercy. As lie. expected, the thieves
took him off in his barrel with others
holding their proper contents to their
headquarters, a disused factory, and so
enabled him to get all the information
he wanted arid to secure the arrest of
the four thieves.
ohemia Hiimng (District
What an Honest Investiga
tion of the Land Shows:
t
o
This season has witnessed great activity in the shape
of substantial developments. In all sections of the district
work is going ahead with a rush, and the freight and stock
trains are kept hustling getting in the supplies and machin
ery. New strikes are constantly being made, and rich
finds being uncovered. Every section visited is a revela
tion, and happy surprises are the ruje.
The unparalelled prosperity of the district has caused
widespread public attention. Fortunes are realized by fol
lowing mining and investments in legitimate mining stocks,
and the business men of to-day are realizing this and profiting
thereby. Mining is being done on business principles. Im
proved machinery, scientific knowledge and business
methods place mining on as safe a plane of operation as that
of any other business.
Many of our citizens have invested in stock in the dis
trict this season, and will without doubt reap rich rewards
in the future, as stocks, in the solid companies of that district
are rapidly advancing.
Zbt Biawatba Mining i Willing Co.
of Cottage Grove, Ore., Bohemia district, have recently, dur
ing development work, struck very rich ore in large quantities
and the company has decided to place a stamp mill on the
property at a very early date and have placed a block of stock
on the market to raise money for that purpose and are selling
stock at ten cents per share, which no doubt will be worth at
least $1 per share, as soon as dividends are paid, which will
be in the near future. Don't wait until this block is sold and
then kick yourself because you can't get stock for less than
and more per share. Addf ess at once
