The Courier Man . Pays the Country a Visit., The Courier representative fpeot near ly all of last week in , the mountains about Ogle Creek, looking over the lay of the land and breathing the pure.lresu mountain tur and drinkmuv the cola water Irom the crystal etreamf purling down the mountain Bides. e was ac companied on the trip by John Fair clough and li. W. Grace, of Oregon City, Mr. Kepker, ot rortiana. ana uuoie Ja cob HarleBB, of Molalla. Tbe party went to Molalla in buggies, and at Joe Uarlea' plao exchauifed their tuggiet for a two-horse wagon and pack horses. The wagon was left at the end of the wagou road, where the party camped at night under tbe giant fire. Monday morning ' at 0 o'clock tbe party of flye started with the two pack horses and two saddle horwsHinto the fastnes 68 of the Cascade mountains. There being only two saddle horses three of tlie party were compelled to walk. The distance to the Wall street mines in which the Hat less' and Faircloughs' hold tbe con trolling interest, is fifty miles from Ore gon City and about Queen' miles from the end of the wauon toad and was cov ered by noon Monday. At tbe camp we tound George. Ogle and Tom Ftiicbsu, who served us with -i luncheon of venison and other dain ties. The deer had been killed several days previous by Ugle. The mine is situated near the sum mit of Ogle mountain and is nearly 5U00 feet abi'Ve the ea level. The trail to within a mile of the mine is good, but the last mile is rmigh and dangerous. The prospects for gold at this mine look good. Tbe lead ban broadened out until it is five feet in width. Tbe ore that is being taken out assays about forty dollars to the tun. It it continues to hold out thu boys have a fortuue iu their bauds. For the past thirfv years this moun tain and the adjoining mountains have been favorite siaiuniug grounds for pros pectors. One cannot walk any distance in any direction without running across a prospect hole, many of which have be, n abandoned. Since the recent strike of gold many of these old pros pect holes are being restaked. as well as many additional claims. Numerous miner-' cabins -have been built through these mountains. Very few uf them are oc-upied at the present time, save by prospecting parties who pav the moun tains a visit. - In all thfe thirty years that, pruspect lng has been going on in the Ogle Creek country, very tew prospectors ' hive found gold in anytti ng like paying quan tities A number ot years ago Tom Hankins .staked a claim near t le twin lakes at the 'base of the mountain. He burned bis ore and alter crushing it washed out enough to mage good wages so it is said.': Hankins, like many oth. era, abandoned his rslaim and went to Idaho, where he was killed. A few weeks since his old mine was restaked by a man named Morris and christened the Myrtle.. Ttie indications of the gold at this point is very good. The Russell mine, in which 0. D Latourette of this city, aud Rosenkranz, ot Canby, are the cbiof owners, is one in which work has been going on for a uumber of years and it is be'ieved that it will piove a paying investment event ually, 0 . W. Kelly, Linn E. Jones and John Hu rth1, of this city, all sfaked claims wbile in the mountains last week. Iu or der to hold a mineral claim, which con slsts of 20 acres, one' must do $100 as Hessmeut work annually. Tbe Ole Creek mines are only tea miles faotn the Gold Creek mining coun try. The mountain sides are covered by forests ot giant Br, hemlock and larch. The Northern Pacific Rail road Company owns much of tbe laud on which the mineral deposits are said to be located. In the event that ore in paying quantities should be found the railruad company will be forced to re linquish their claim to the land. Tbe section of land on which the Wall Street mine is located has already been released by the railroad company. A party brought suit to compel them to release the land eorr.e years ag'o,in the land office at this place. Rather than fight the case they relinquished their rights to it. The owners of the Waif street mine have been offered a considerable sum for their property by capitalists who have hadexpeits in that partof country look ing aiouud, but have declined to sell, saying that if there is a good thing there they want It themselves. Much ex pense will necessarily be entailed in get. t'ng the proper appliances for separating the gold from the quartz in the Ogle Creek mining district. A stamp mill will be necessary, and the task of get ting tbe machinery over the mountain! will be no light one. Yet if the ou'.pot justifies the machinery will be put In. In the winter time the snow falls in these mountains to a depth of several feet and It is almost impossible to get In saye by means of snow shoes. At tbe present time a trip to tbe mountains la one of the unqualified delight. When tbe mercury was liuling around the nineties in Oregon City last week, the temperature in tbe mountain! waa anita delightful. , On oar way oat irom the mountains we met seueral parties coin? In. each one with pick! and shovels, indicating mat tney were going prospecting. It is very hkel that more prospecting will be done during tbe next six weeks in these mountains than was ever done be fore in a given time, and it is not Im probable that tome leadi will be dis closed that will offer good results. mere is quite a good deal ot wild game in thft mmint.ina a rmxnA f .aV h.vhuu via w & , consisting of deer, bear, cougars ana grouse, but there is a great deal more if one penetrates farther into tbe fast neesesi of the mountains. STRUCK BY LIQHTNINQ. Qresham Residence Is Set on Fire by Electric Bolt. Greshatn, Or., Aug. 26 During a sevote thunder storm tLe residence of Jubnhou Cleveland at this place was a. ruck bv 1 ghtning and set on fire. The electric bolt struck th roof and went tbrougb into tbe parlor, where it shat tered a studding between two windows and passed through the floor into the ground. The windows were notinju.ed but tfe inside of the room was soon in flames, and consi lerable damage was done to the building and furniture before the tire was extinguished. Mrs. Cleve land was alone in another part of the house' but was unaware that anything had happened until neighbors come to put put tbe fire ' Such a small hole was made in tho roof by tbe lightning that it could scarcely be found'but the west wail ot the bu'lding was badlv damaged. The building was insured it the Mc-J munviiie u-uipany, which promptly adjusted tbe loss and damages . although It does not inBure against lightning. Such freaks of tbe elements are very rare here, this being the first of tbo kind ever known in this vicinity, al though fees are sometimes struck by lightning during such electrical dis turbauces.

McClckb O000000000000e3 Carlisle said something about train" that could' not possibly be construed aj praise for the L. and G. The .bagguge master regarded him with sleopy amusement. "You can't say anything that ain't been said before," he advised. "The train Is five hours late and won't be !n till 8 o'clock. Yesterday it was 0:C3. and Monday it got In two hours after the local noon train left. Better go tn sleep. I'll wake you when I hear the whistle." . Then the blue jumpered figure turned over on the counter and presently hi gentle snores were added to the monot onous ticking of the clock. Cnrllsle was too nervous to heed tho advlce and sleep. He had driven sever miles across country to meet the ov" THBT WKRK MAKK1BD WITH THK TWO 0ON DUCTOUU FOB WITNESSES. land that was to pass the Junction at I o'clock in the morning. Now he wns told that he might have had Ave hour. more of the comfortable bed he hud been forced to leave nt midnight Presently there was tbe noise of sleigh, bells, and a cutter drew u-i alongside of the platform. ' Carlisle glanced with Interest nt the slight fig ure that stepped out, and then, as the driver showed no disposition to aid ho with a heavy satchel, he went out wit! a courteous offer of assistance. "Has the overland gone throuy'i yet?" she inquired eagerly. Carlisle gave a short lnugb. "At last reports," he said easily, "the overland will pass through hero about 8 o'clot k. but my Informant," with a nod in tltp direction of the snoring baggage m:v ter, "did not state whether it was las night's or tonight's that was expects1 " By this time she iad removed hoy heavy wraps and veil, and Carlisle could see the look of disappointment that clouded her pretty face. "The Junction train was snowed in, and 1 hired a farmer to drive me over in hi? cutter." "The Junction train," said Carlisle "suffers from the same complaint ns those on. the main line. Since we nrf here until morning may I invite you tn Bup with me?" v. He drew from his satchel two sand wiches and solemnly offered her one. -f can assure you," he said, "that ono is eminently satisfying. They are a last tribute from the hotel keeper." She laughed as sho accepted the hu; e structure of bread and meat, and tlit v were soon chatting like old friends. She was going to Denver, she told him, to spend some weeks. He looked up with interest "Do you know," b" aid, "that I am going to Denver to be married?" She gave a little laugh. "Do yr know," she retorted, "that I may Ik married before I leave Denver?" His face fell. She was a singularly pretty girl, "I hope not" be said sut agely. "Unless" "Unless T" the repeated questioning If. '"Never mind now," be tald. "Ia-V talk of my troubles. I am to be tnnr t-led because I am told that I must. 1 have a friend who married and moved to Denver. His wife insisted that I should visit them, aud assured me lh.it she would marry me off before I cam. away." . 'That does not necessarily indlcat that you must be married, does it 7" be asked. He smiled faintly. "It la plain to ! seen," be answered, "that you do.i i know Maude Daniels." She was blushing very curiously, but her voice was even as she remarked; "Possibly the fate may not appear to be so appalling when you have met your shall I say fiancee? Do you know anything about ber?" He shook bis head. "Very little. Mr Daniels says she la a very lovely girl, amiable, culture and all that sort of thing. She's a cousin of Mrs. Daniels, named Standlsh Helen Brandish. Pret ty name, and they say she's as pretty as her name. It's not that I'm afrnld of her, but a fellow does hate to h.iv It all cut and dried, don't you know." She nodded n grave assent. "I am very much in the same position," she began, but just tlieu a whistle bn ke in on the conversation, and tbe sleenv baggage master rolled over. The trnl" whistle was the one thing that wovi wake him. "I forgot to tell ypu," be said to f'r- llsler "that there was a Denver tr.-ila through here about now. It's yester day's train, but it will get in ahead of the other." , Twenty minutes later, Carlisle, lulled ' by the easy motion of the tram, dropped off to sleep, his mind filled with visions kt a petite figure crowned by a pretty ovnl face wreathed in gold en hair. He hud forgotten to ask hor name, but he determined that heMnst name should he Carlisle in spite of Mrs. Daniels and Helen Standish.. The next morning his berth had been luade up long before she made her ap pearance. " "I want to ask you something," he said as lie dropped Into tbe seat beside her, In answer to tire invitation in her eyes. "Lust night I was willing to go ' to Denver und be married, but now I am not. I want you to help me save myself from the fate that awaits nie. "There is h girl I love desperately." ' he hurried on. and he noted with jov that her face clouded. "I. urn not a per son of Impulse, hut I love her devoted ly and always shall. I want you Jo marry me before 1 get to Denver, r ir.l then I can face Mrs. Daniels. My old friend, Bishop Dayton, is on the Uv.ln. He can vouch for me und will peuorw the service. Vill you?" "But how will my marrying you help you to win the girl you love?" she In terposed. "Because," ho said impulsively, "you are the woman I love and shall love till death, God helping me." Then, sone-s how, he was holding ber hand and look ing very foolish, while In her eyes tl.o love light glowed through a merry twinkle. The marriage was not difficult to ur range. The bishop occupied the state room, and there they were marri"! with the Pullman conductor and the train conductor for witnesses. Then !hn good old bishop got out bis portfolio and prepared to fill out tbenATr'ii,gj certificate. "My child," he said kindly, "it Is strange, but I do not know your lust name. What name shall I fill in here?" A tiny smile flitted over her fnce. "Helen Standlsh," she said simply, and turned to ber husband, Carlisle looked aghast for a moment, then he broke Into a hearty laugh. "I told you," he said, "that Mude Daniels always had her own way. I'm glad Of it" And be kissed her. Humanity'. Defect.

It is true that they have some wonderful achievements to their credit, b t d il you ever see a horse, for instance, that was cross eyed? Compare the uau.'jv of deformities among children with those of young anlmuls, und you, v. ;:i find that among all the horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, dogs, fats nml everything else belonging to the animal world there are nowhere near as ninny con genital deformities as among people. This undoubtedly Is due to the fuct that the animals live more nearly as nature intendttf them to than we do. But we mustn't find fault. Think of the specialists who would be working ' as day laborers If every child came In to the world .perfect, and ' our tniltis and 3ressmtl-?rs would all be forced out of business If nobody had defects to hide.
