A very important meeting for Clack
amas county aud Oregon City, and in
fact for the whole state, was held in
Knapp's hall Monday by the stock
holders of the Ogle Mountain Mining
On., it being the regular annual meet
ing of the company, at which oc
curred the olootion of a board of di
rectors. The meeting was the most
enthusiastic of the company ever hold,
which was largely dne to the interest
taken by the stockholders, following
the splendid reports of the manage
ment of that company. It Iihs been
well understood by many who have
investigated the property that the
mines were of great value, but it re
mained for interest to reach a lever
heat till the retnru of the president,
J. B. Fairclough, T. B Fairclongh
, James Hattou and others of the men
who have been devoting much time at
the mines, bringing with them Que
specimens of gold bearing ore from
the late diggings, which have readied
something like thirteen hundred feet
in the lower tunnel.
It is the intention of the managers
to follow the veins during the coming
year and after installing proper ma
chinery, get down to busiuess and
produce the real gold bricks. The
thirteen hundred foot tunnel tupped
a number of veins that run heavy to
gold, silver, lead aud other metals,
and some of them run very rich in
metal. The average of the several
veins that run trom a few feet 'up to
thirty feet in width, will conie.upto
several dollars per ton, and this if
considered by those operating at the
mines, from assayB, to be the low
grade ores. Some of "the specimens
brought in will assay twenty times
that amount, and it was due largely
to these facts that'the great interest
was taken in Monday's meeting.
At this meeting a report was given
by the assayer, George Roiling, on
the several veins, which shows an
average of about six dollars, for the
several veins, and something of the
value of mine may be had when it is
known that any one of the veins
would make a good mine in itself.
The opening and developing of Ogle
Mountain Mine means muolr for this
state, and will Boon dovelop a prop
erty, if indications point correct, that
will astonish the mining interests of

make Oorvallis four months of the
present season. Captain A. W. Gra
ham, of the company, yesterday said
that it was the first season in IS years
that the route to Salem was not navi
agble, which he attributes not alone
to the faot that the stream had
readied the lowest stage in its his
tory, but equally to the shifting of
the channel, which in plaoes in the
vicinity of Wheatland made it im
practical to operate south of Mission
Lauding.
A man's character Is always en
riolied by having a supreme purpose
in life, provided, of course, that the
purpose itsolf is right.
Once more the country has had a
turning over, and many plaoes Dem
ocrats are on top. In many ot the
county offices the Democrats were suc
cessful. In state affairs, Oswald West
the Democratic cauiddute for gov
ernor, carried the state by a majoritv
ranging from three to four thousand
over Jay Bowerman, the as emhlv
oandidate. W. 0. Hawloy, Kenbuli
oan, was elected over R. Q. Smith
by a larger majority, and the balance
of the Republisu state ticket swung in
to line by the force of the same breeze
This puts the state in the Republi
can column, though everywhere many
Republicans lost to the Democrats in
county affairs. Such was the case in
Clackamas county. Robert B. Beatle,
the Democratic candidate for county
adge received a majoritv of about
800 over John Clark, the Republican
candidate. Emit Mass, Democrat,
won out for the office of sheriff
against E. O. Hackett, Republican,
by about 200 majority j T. J. Myers,
Democrat, lost to Dr. Thomas Fox
.Republican, lor coroner, by a very
close margin, and one or two olose
calls are reported for other offices.
The balance of the tioket wasCcar
ried by Republicans, among whom are
w. li. Muivey, county clerk j J. A.
Tufts, treasurer; Lloyd Williams, re
cordei jof conveyances ; T. D. Meldrum
surveyor.
in tne representative contest not so
muoli interest was taken, as the hard
fight was oentered on sheriff and

column the successful ones happen to
be RepublioanB, and are Linn E.

E. P. Oarter. Lined up against them
were O. D. Robbing and R. IS. Uaker,

One of the warmest fights in Clack

lined up various interests in defeat of

about 100.
Olackamas county votod " wet" on
looal option, cast a substantial major

gave the home-rule bill a light n a
joiity. Counties that voted "wet" were
Baker, Clackamas, Clatsop. Coos,
Crook, Gilliam, Harney, Josephine,
Klamath, Lake, Lane, Malheur,
Marion, Morrow, Polk, Sherman,
Tillamook, Umatilla, Union, Wacso,
Washington and Multnomah.
The only counties known to have
voted "dry" are Bontou, Douglas,
Linn and Yamhill counties.
State-wide prohibition has appar
ently been defeated bv a majority
that may range from 10.000 ud. Tim
strikiug feature of returns so far indi
cate that the Prohibitionists have lost
at least 18 of their "dry" counties so
far as the state-wide prohibition vote
is concorned, while they have not
gamed one "wot" county.
rroni all indications it annnars that
the home-rule bill will carry.
In all probability, Lane county,
which rolled up a majority of 770 for
the Prohibitionists two years ago, has
gone "wet" ou the stato vote, but
turned a majority of more than 700
against the home rule bill.
Only three counties outsido of Mult
nomah, have reported on all the in
itiative and referendum measures and
the returns are therefore too ineater
to warrant an estimate on the resnlt
of the election aside from that on the
measures heretofore mentioned.
Of the initiative and referendum
measures, half the vote of Multnomah
county and scattering roturns from a
few other portions of the stato indi
cates the defeat of woman's suffrage
by a large majority. The vote in six
counties, so far as connted, including
Multnomah, gives 6507 in favor of the
amendment aud 12,780 against.
rronibition lost iu Multnomah ooun-
ty by from 8000 to 10.000
and also failed to oarry in most of the
larger towns and cities outside of
Portland. Partial returns from 15
counties, including Multnomah coun
ty, gave the prohibition amondmnnt
12,840 aud 21,103 against it, or a ne
gative majority of 8313.
The prohibition law or search hill

LINN E. JONES
Republican, Elected to Succeed Him-
pf as Representative
The following inteisting write-up
of a prominent Oregon Oity woman
appears in the Daily Star, published
at Honolulu, Hawaii Islands, which
was rfceived at the Courier office
yesterday. It speaks in pleasing
terms of Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, who is
on the Islands for a few weoks collect
ing data for her new pubulicatiou.
The story says :
"Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, authoress of
three books which treat of the early
days of Oregon and of the men who
lived and toiled in these strenuous
years, is now in Honolulu, having ar
rived yesterday by the ocoanio liner
Siorra. MrB. Dye is preparing ma
trial for a new volume which she lias
iu contemplation and whioh will have
for us subject the relations which ex
isted years ago ' between Oregon aud
the Hawaiian Islands, and the! life
history of a woman whose career was
spent between both places. To "pre- '
pare herself thoroughly for the "self-
imposed rasK Mrs. Dve 8 here and
here she will remain until she has
collected sufficient data to connect all
tue nans of the story she has in mind.
rsui Mrs. Lye is not an historian,
Dor is she simplv a storv-teilor.
While she has that facility of cloth-
ing her subjects in interesting verbal
attire, yet the facts with which she
deals are not obscured bv romance.
To place before her readers a story
throbbing with life, pulsating with
human interest, is Mrs. Dye's object,
and in this she has achieved success
in the past. ,
All who have read the absorbinn
stones of MoLoughliu and McDonald,
as set forth in hor (wo volumes en
titled 'MoLoughlin and Old Orecon"
and 'McDonald of Oregon,' need no
assurance ou this poiut. They are the
life stories of virile meu j of men who
have aoliioved, and not one whit less
interesting than those two eutrauoimz
stories will be tlie work on whioh
Mrs. Dye is now engaged. - Indeed,
Mrs. Dye is lookiutr forward with
tile-isurable autic'pati u to nrudncina
a book which will far exoeed the sao-
cess she has already attained with the
two boous afore-mentioned, aud 'The
Ootiqnost.' The publishers, A. O.
MoUlarir and Comnanv. C hinMun. hvn
disposed of 40,000 copies of her works
in alt.
" M rs. Dye has a cliarniinnr nrnson-
ality and hor enthusiasm in her work
is luteotious to a liich doizree. Seated
on the laual of Mr. George CJ.Guild's
rosldeuoe at Mauoa. Mrs. Dve" vester.
day chatted to a Star representative
la a most entertaining manner. She
spoke of her work, ot her future pros
peots. and of the possibilities whioh
shu discerned in the story which is
now attracting hor attention.
wny did the Hawaiian Islauds
appeal to you as the scene of your
story ?' Mrs. Dye was asked.
'Decause there are suoh enormous
possibilities,' she answered promptly.
When soarolung the records of Ore
gon tor the material out of whioh the
story of MoLoughlin was evolved I
could not help noticing how the
Hawaiian Islands oontinually crossed
and recrossed my path. Aud it was
just the flume when I wrote tho story,
of MoDonald. Everywhere wore evi. -deuce
of the early relationship be
tween the two Pl noes. Oregon was so
far away from civilization in the
early days that all supplios came from
Hawaii. All the ships which reached
Oregon came via Honolulu, and there
were even then vessels running direot
oetwoen the isluuds and Oregon.
Why, the nrst white woman to set
foot hi Oregon City, came from these
very Islands.' "
Wm. Griffith, for some years a resi
dent of Oregon Oity, has returned
from Idaho, where he has extensive
mining interests. Mr. Griffith has
organized a million dollar company
and lias purchased and merged
twenty-four claims that have rioh de-.
posits of silver aud lead. The com-'
pany lias made all preliminary ar
rangements for tho shipping of ore to
the Salt Lake smelter iu the spring.
Mr. Griffith is an old miner and he
expresses great confidence in the prop
erty which he Is now developing.
