Most fabulous rerts of their riches have come from the newly discovered gold mines in the Clondvke regions on the upper 'Yukon river in Alaska. If half the reports are true it rivals the best days of California as a gold producing section. Already thousands are on their way to this district and every steamer from San Francisco, Portland and the Sound is crowded with all the passengers that can be taken. So far it is only in a limited section in which the rich mines are located, though gold is found on nearly every stream in Alaska and it is possible that the Clomjyke mines may be duplicated in many other places. But to get the gold is worth a man's life. The mines are in a barren, inhospitable region, thousand miles from the nearest supplies. What little game there is in the country will soon be exterminated and as the sum mer is but two months long there is no op portunity to raise supplies, as was the case in California. No one should start for these mines with less than foOO and as safeguard, to prevent tbem from leaving their bones to bleach on the Ice fields of that inhospitable region, it would be well to have at least 11000 to draw upon, for all who have gone or will go do not strike it rich. But the desire to get rich quick has started a perfect eiodus to this land of fabled wealth and before the close of an other year, should additional discoveries be made, a hundred thousand people will be in Alaska. THK COKING MONETARY OH IT. Jt is reasonable to exiect that the United States gold dollar will become the monetary unit of the world. There is now an irre sistible tendency in commerce toward uni formity in the weight and value of the standard coins of commercial nations. the American dollar meets this com mercial requirement better than the British pound, the German mark, or the French franc. It is especially adapted for the deci inai system wnicti is rinding favor every where. The English, ol course, cling per sistently to pounds, shilings and pence, but they admit tne superiority of decimal coin age, and would adopt it if they could over come the conservatism which clings to the old system. In case Mexico adopts the gold standard be will nniloiihtedlv make her gold coins correspond with our own in weight and fineness. Central America would then be constrained commercially to pursue the same course. As Canadian coins already correspond with ours, there would then be a uniformity in the gold coinage of II North America. This circumstance would in turn exercise a powerful influence on the coinage of the entire commercial world. The demand for harvest hands and bop pickers promises to be greater than for some years past, owing to the large acreage and yield that are now assured tor both wheat and hops. As the price for wheat nd hops has hf en stiffening of late the farmers will he able to pay better wages than were paid last year. Already hop growers are making contracts' for help, so as to insure a sufficient number to handle their crop. Hop picking has come to be the annual outing for hundreds of people lb the towns, and it U not confined to the strictly laboring classes, for school teachers, and others of the professional classes are among those that go to the hop fields. As an invlgorator and health-restorer camping in a hop yard is far ahead of a camp at the coast or in the mountains, for the peculiar exhalation from the hops ai ts as a tonic and with the cool, bracing air of September gives one. an appetite and bouyancy of spirit not to be had through any other kind of an outing. With the exercises of Saturday evening o' this wek will cloe the fourth annual assembly of the Willumette Valley Chau tauqua Association. Its success has been fully up to the expectation ol the officers of the association and it is conceeded that as a whole it far exceeds any previous assembly. The class work has been exceptionally strong and has come to be more than ever a leading feature of the assembly. Now Ibat people sre finding out the the value ml benefit of these ol asset their member ship lias greatly Inrresaed over psst yesrs ami it la certain the olaxnea at the awnilily next year will have more than double the membership lliey had this year. The plat form talent has averaged of a higher class this year than heretofore, though many of the speakers were almost unknown to our people and did not draw like they would were they again to appear on the platform. Some of as grand lertnrri as ever were de livered on this coast have been enjved by the audiences at Gladstone park, while the musical and elocntionery treats have been of hlghonlerand very pleasing. Theatteml nce.while larger than last vear.has not been tip to what was expected, the prevailing hard times and the busy season among the limners preventing many from attending. On the whole the success of the assembly has been so flattering as tt encourage the management to already begin to plan Tor another year and the next assembly will see many improvements and new features added that will make it the great assembly of the raciftc coast Is justice to the secretary of the Chan tauttia association as well as to the board of directors, who are accused by the fello who reported for the Oregonian the Chau tauqua assembly proceedings of last year, of lurnisliing the information upon which was basfd i he charges that'have been pre ferred against him by this paper, the Kstkr trisr will state that these gentlemen did not give the editor of this paper his infor mation regarding this man Lawrence's blackmailing methods, neither did they know that this man's doings were to be shown tip in the columns of the ExTERmist. As a matter ol fact, the Kntrkfrisc could have published this exposure of Lawrence's dishonest work at any time during the past year for the information was in the posses sion of the ofnee, but the editor chose to " "i puonsn it when it would n"vf ,n" nl" enecl ,ni1 "ure to ineltiau , I of its proceedings in the columns ef the ) Oregonian It was only to protect the good name of the Chautauqua association and insure to its talent fair treatment by the newspaper press that the Entibi'kiss gave this man Lawrence the publicity it has, and having accomplished its purpose of suppressing his dishonest methods and in uucing me uregonian to place new man in charge of its work at Gladstone park, the Enterprise will relegate Lawrence to the oblivion to which he belongs. Dei.ewake has just adopted new consti tution. Among its new articles is one on suffrage, which provides that on and after January 1, 1900, no person, otherwise quali fied, shall be permitted to vote unless he shall be able to read the Deleware constitu in the English language and write his name. This does not apply, however, to those who are physically disabled. The states which require of voters an educational qualifica tion are now Connecticut, Deleware, Massa chusetts, Mississippi, South Carolina and Washington. The movement is growing in strength here in Oregon for an educa tional qualification for our voters and this amendment will be one of the first to be adopted of the many that are being dis cussed. The ignorant, vicious element would be totally eliminated from our poli tics were the educational test fully enforced and the rule of the ward politician would soon be at an end. MeClure's Magazine for August will be a special Midsummer number, with a frontispiece drawn expressly for it by Boutet de Monvel, the eminent French illustrator.
