The administration is spending a good deal of time and energy now in prepar ing to build the Panama canal. The $40,000,000 having been paid to the canal company and the $10,000,000 to Panama, and the result having been acquieeced in by practically the whole world for even Colombia haB sent back her minister to this capital the real work will now begin. General Davis, governor of the canal zone, will proceed under the general supervision of the Secretary of War. It is estimated that in three years reasonable sanitation will be established and the aurveys will be finished and contracts let. Something like $25,000,000 a yearlwill be spent for the next ten years. It is odd that this is almost precisely the estimate made by the old French company thiny years ago. ' Miss Elizabeth Ney of Texas, the artist who haB completed the statues of General Sam Houston ana Governor Stephen F. Austin, to be Bet up in Statnarv Hall in the Canitol. is repre sented as the niece of the illustrious Marshal Ney of France, Napoleon's bravest of this brave." As Ney was executed ninety years ago, one is curious to khow what sort of niece the Texan artist is. In the middle of the last cen tury a North Carolinian named Rey nolds claimed that, he was Marshal Ney that another soldier was shot in bis place, and that he escaped to the United States. Perhaps niece Elizabeth can throw some light on this. Stimulated by the strange story, your correspon- ent twentv vears ago wrote to the per fect of Saarlouis in France repeating the renort and asking for information. Jfcle enclosed to me an extract from the reg ister of the church where the infant Ney was baptized and the writton voucher of hia identification of the soldier who was shot in the gardens of the Luxembourg. Such stories of the illustrious dead am not uncommon. For a whole generation Eleazer Williams paraded Is the Dau phin-King Louis XVII, and persons are now living who swear that they have repeatedly met Wilkes Booth during the last ten years. The other day he died again in Oklahoma, C Turner Watson. The Turner-Watson wedding at the United Brethren church at 8 o'clock Sunday night 'waa largely attended. The church was beautifully decorated and at tbe close of the Christian En deavor service at 8 o'clock tbe bridal procession filed into the room, led by four little girls, dressed in white carry ing basnets of flowera. They were fol lowed by the bridesmaid, Miss Minnie Moline, and tbe groomsman, Mr. tan Walters. After them came the bride and groom, who stationed themselves beneath an arch oi uregon grap ana snowballs. Re?. C. P. Blanchard per formed the ceremony, ueing the ring service. After the ceremony the bridal party was entertained at the home oi Mr. and Mrs. Watson. Oregon Fatents. Granted tbia week. Reported by C.A. Snow & Co.,Patent Attorneys, Washing tan, D. C, M.

General News as Gathered From Brief Resume of the More Important Happenings of the Week in Oregon Is Well Known by Guardsmen. Sydney Sladden. who is held in Lcuip- ville, Ky., on six charges of fotgery, is remembered by many of the guardsmen of this state. He was one of the best, known captains of the Second Regiment O. N. G. in the early nineties. Since then his record has been varied. The authorities believe that he has been married five times and that there are plenty oi .counts on which he can be convicted.

On May 13, a number of Japanese ships were protecting land movements and searching for mines near Port Dal ney the torpedo boat No. 48, was blown to pieces, lhe mine doing the terrible execution had been discovered and an effort was being made to destroy it when the explosion occurred. Other ships in thtf neighborhood picktd up most of the ciew. This is the first ship totally lost by the Japs. Five Bishops Retired. Tbe Methodist General Conference at Los Angeles retired from active work Bishops Andrews, Walden, Vincent, Mallalien, aud Fobs. It was with a feeling of regret that this action waa taken. Dr. Buckley, who read the re port of the episcopacy committee, said that a man whose duty it waB to read a report of this kind was to be pitied. Speaking of those about to be retired he said: "While we love them from our hearts, we love the church better than ourselves. It ie for the interests of the church that we take this action." A Neiv Boat to Fly on the Itiver. A steamer 55 feet long was launched at Independence, Or., at 8:20 o'clock, May 13. This boat will draw only 10 inches empty. She was christened "In dence" by Miss Pauline Cooper, daugh ter of Hon. J. S. Cooler. ibis boat will supply a rapid meant of communication between Salem and Independence which haB long been de sired. Destroyed by Fire. Fire started in the Day Lumber Company's engine room about 11 o'clock ru. May 12. The night watchman was emptying sawdust through the ohute when suddenly a flame shot up, lie tried to extinguish it, but in only a few seconds the whole bin was on fire and the watchman barely had time to escape with his life. The lire destroy id the entire plants ol the Day Lumber Company, the Powers Furniture Company, and tbe Multno mah Box and Trunk Company. The total losses were estimated at $355,000, the insurance covered $ 106,000. The lack of water hampered the 1 ire Department very much. A few pounds of dynamite could have been used to ad vantage but it could not he had. Univ four engines could be used and one oi these hud to be placed on the river bank far from the Bre. The new fire boat could have been used, but, although tested, it has not been turned over to the city. Another fire occurred early on the morning of the 16tb inst., at north-west corner of Tliiid and Flanders street. About $44,000 worth of property was destroyed. Those losing were Portland Wire and Iron Works, S. E. Pike, tents and awnings, Charles Lee, tailorshop, James Goodman, G. J. Sebecki, saloon, N. Asager, ehoeshop, and a tobacco Stand. lloly Boilers of a New Kind. The "sun worshipers" are attracting attention in Chicago because of the fact that their "Dr. Mannish" is to be tried May 20, for practicing medicine without a license. Tbe "treatment" given the aick ia the most outlandish ever beard of. Needles are plunged into the flesh which is then rubbed with a mysterious oil causing sores, and in one case at least, death. Those who stand the ordeal without crying out are lauded for their ''mastery over the body." Instructs for Hearst. The Democratic State Convention of California bv a rnajority of 19 voted to instruct its delegates to the rsationai Conv.ention to vote for W. U. Hearst. Extermltuiting Gophers. Gophers are the terror of many a gar den and many are the way a devised for their demise, all of which work well enough if the gophers aee fit to co-operate. It ia np to somebody to discover, a way to make them co-operate. Guns have drawbacks (except the hammerleaa) for the reason that fingers and even lives are frequently loat by premature dis charge. Poisons work aa wed on chick ens and children aa on gophera. Spear trapa are aafe but there isalwaya a strong possibility that the gopher will avoid it and aa uooiey says -inereye are." If yon are driven to active war fare to be conducted on a poisoned sweetmeat baaia, try raisins powdered with atrychnine. Japs Advancing, The Japanese troops are steadily ad vancingon Mukdeh and it would seem that a great battle cannot be avoided, The Japs occupy practically all of the southern part of the Liao Tung penin aula except the immediate vicinity of Port Arthur. No important engage ments have' occurred within tbe past week. The Japa hava lost three ships on account of their striking mines. Various Sources. and Elsewhere. General Aetvs Notes. Golf on an ocean liner is one of the latest fads. The Turks have masaacreed a number of Armenians in the same district where the outrages of 1894 occurred. Tbe number killed is variously estimated at ironi iuu to ltiuu. Wireless telegraphy has made such rapid progress that Marconi has inform ed the officials of the Cunard Co. that tbey can go ahead with their plan of having a daily paper on their , ships, news to be supplied from land by wire less telegraphy. Hetty Green, the richest woman in America, has applied to the police for permission to carry a revolver to protect herselt from "lawyers and other pests," Seattle has a buy contractor only 13 years of age. This bright voung man contracts with his patrons to put in call oens, v) repair electric nguts, to make uqums lor wet Dattenes,.and to repair motors. His work is satisfactory and his knowledge of electricity would do credit to an older person. The first steamship for Nome this sea son, the Corwin, left Monday. This ship waa the last to leave when naviga tion closed in the fall. Miss Clara Barton has resigned the presidency of the Red Cross Society and in rs. Jonn A. L,ogan has been elected to the office, she hnviug previously served as vice-president. Oregon Notes. Eugene has a population of 5289.

A carload of machinery has been shipped there from Grants Pass. A firm in Aurora handles 1700 dozen eggs in one week. The dredge Chinook operating at the mouth of the Columbia, has broken the world's record. In one day she removed nearly 0000 tons of matter from ShoaloBt ridge. Logs are being towed from Tillamook Bay to Astoria, the supply at the former place being in excess of the demand. A company has been organized at Independence to bore for oil and Bait. It is said that a well has already been sunk 900 feet. A Chinese woman and her son. both in China, have laid claim to the estate of Lung Chung, who was killed by a train in Hubbard last fall. The case is an unusual one and the rights of the claimants will have to be established through the Chinese consul., Five people in an automobile driven by Mr. Ben Holladay of Portland, went over a 20-foot embankment Sunday. No fatal or very serious injuries were re ceived by any of the party. A man near Eugene known as a land and cattle King, caused tne arrest of a poor old man eighty years of age who committed the grave offense of peeling chittern bark on tne larmer's place.

It is hoped that the one on Salt Creek will be made deep enough to admit hia craft on June 6. Baker City haa a ten-year-old boy who baa stolen three horses and $350 all in three weeka. A railroad switch from the main line to the river has been completed at New berg. This gives another outlet for the product cf Spaulding & Co's big mill. The season for accidents with guns is still on in fact it bat not been off. The story is of the antique pattern. Two boys at Eugene played with a rifle and one waa wounded. One of the greateat bleaainga a modest ma i can wish for is a good, reliable aet of bowels. If yon are not the happy possessor of such an outfit you can greatly improve the efficiency of those you have by the judicioua use of Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

Situated in the northern part of this county, in the midst of fertile farms witk evergreen hills rising on the east, lies the town of Clackamas, known inaa early day as Marshfield. With a present population of 250, stores, churches, schools, lodges, fruitful land, close prox imity to Portland markets, this locality offeis inducements tJ homeseekers. The land surrounding is adapted to various purposes, the sandy soil near river producing peaches and prunes, the black soil nearer the bills excelling ia onion production, while the upland pro duces all the fruits, vegetables and grains for wkich the Willamette valley ia famous. lour large fruit drtersare operated by R. W. Holcomb, Geo. II. Webster, J. W. KooU and Marion John son, respectively,. John Talbert and R. K. nartnell each make specialties of growing strawberries, while W. T. John ston produce s great, quantities of onions. The flower garden of Charles F. Street is one of the places of interest that at tracts visitors at Clackamas. Mr. Street was engaged in the same business in Vic- Ltoria, B. C, and in New South Wales, and is thoroughly familiar with the work. His three glass roof houses ag gregate nearly four thousand square feet of floor space. They are heatei by hot water, and irrigated from a reser voir. His operations are confined en tirely to the production of flowera and plants for Bale in the Portland and Sound markets, the season for which is from September to the latter part of May. Some idea of the work may be gained from the fact that over tea thousand violet plants will be in bear ing next seasons besides thousands of other kinds of ilowera. In fraternal orderB, Clackamas ia re markably well represented, there being six, the oldest of which is the Workmen and whose master is John Robinson; past master 11. Webster; overseer.

It is the present plan of the Grange to build a hall as boob as funds can be secured, a part of which have already been raised. The present ollicers are A. Davis, 'Lily btreet, Mrs- L. D. Jones. The neighboring granges have been invited to join with Clacka mas grauge in observing Children's day, Saturday, June 4, and a pleasant and profitable tune is anticipated.

The school is one in whicn the people take a just pride. A nine months' terua will have Boon been completed with aa attendance of from 75 to 80. A class of 10 or 12 will take the eighth grade ex amination. The principal is Miss Irene Smith and the assistant is Miss Edna Armstrong, The board of directors con sists of K. C. Chapman, Wm, T. John ston, C. F. Clark, with E. P. Dedrnan, clerk. While Clackamas has given much at tention to lodges and her school, she haa not overlooked the religious training ol her people. There are two church or ganizationsthe Methodist aud tiie Con gregational each of which owns its own. building and is in a healthy growing condition. Among the pioneers whom tht hand ot Death has spared to view tbe continued results of their patient toil aud struggles in a new country are W. A. Mills, John Talbert, Dan Talbert, E. C. Chapman, Wm.
