Witiuk the la.il two weeks wheat lias gain advanced in price while silver has ss steadily declined in prii-e conclusive proof that the cost of production llxes the value of all commodities, Mr. liryan to the contrsry, Mr. Charles A. Conant, of the New York Journal of Commerce, contributes to the American Monthly Review of Reviews for August an admirable exposition of the new tarill law. His article is intended to tell the buisness man what he may expect from the operation of the new schedules. So much of the newspaper discussion of the Dincley bill has been warped by partisanship that the ordinary citisen Is at a loss to know the real animus of the measure or its probable bearing on indi vidual and general interest. Mr Conant writes with moderation and candor : his article is calculated to enlighten the pub lie on a topic that requires first of all im partiality in treatment. To Prevent Forest Flies. In order to prevent the destruction of the timber uinm the public domain and especially upon the foiest reserves, con gress has lately passed very stringent laws regarding setting of llres upon public lands, llelow is given the law in full as furnished the Kntkiiphisk by Capt. S. R. Ormsby, siiMrvisor of forest reserves for Oregon, and those who have occasion to build llres upon government land will do well to heed its require ments and thus save themselves from serious consequences, for it is I'apt, Tor CoX miosis gjtf The f ay to build up Oregon City is to jlre Oregon City people yonr patronage. THE GOLD OF THE IXCA'B. It is more than possible that the next great gold discoveries to follow that ol Clon dyke will be in Teru, that country whose riches in gold tempted the Spaniards to cross an unknown ocean and wage a war of conquest the like ot which history furnishes few instances. That I'eru at one time bad great gold mines is proven by the immense quantities of this metal that the natives possessed at the time ol the Spanish con quest, they being able to fill a large room full to the ceiling with gold ornaments and implements as the price to Pizarro for the liberty of their Inca, Atahanlpa, and wbo was put to death because the room was not filled the second time with the shining metal. There is every proof to show that when the Peruvians found that i was for their gold that led the Spaniards to oppress and enslave them that they covered up and bid all the mines they could, and so effectu ally did they do this tbat there is little doubt but what many of the richest were never re discovered by the Sjjuards. , For the last two hundred ytfrs there has been but little gold mining carried on in Peru for the Spaniards became too indolent to longer force the natives to delve in the mines and there has been scarcely any pros pecting done for new mines, for outside of the more settled portions of the country the yet uuconquered natives together with bands ot bandits who infested the country made such wrrk extremely dangerous. But in recent years these wild tribes have beer, subdued and law and order established to such a degree ibat it is comparatively safe to travel over the country. Now tbat it is possible lor Americans and other foreigners Jo get into this country to prospect there is little doubt but what we shall soon bear of some rich discoveries being made. In the mountainous parts where the gold bear ing formation eiists the climate is salu brious and miners would have none of the hardships to endure that have to be under gone in the CInndyke region. Repokts from Alaska are not at all en couraging to those who expect to go to Cloudy Le this fat1. In addition to the rigors ot winter which sets in early in that inhospitable region, the Canadian govern ment has added unexpected obstacles to the Cloudyke tourists by stationing the mounted police at the pass and turning back all who are not well supplied with provisions. The liht of blockaded pros pectors at Dyea is further added to by the eihorbilant duties which the Canadians levy on all outfits, and which leaves many men of limited means not enough money to proceed on their journey. To add to the miners troubles the Indian packers bave raist d their rales to 27 centi er pound and now have more freight piled up at Dyea tban tbey can get across the mountains in a year. The best thing a man can do is to stay out of Alaska until spring. Death or I'roressor McClure. S. Edgar McClure, professor of chemis try in the Stale university at Eugene and a member of the Mammas' society that made the ascent of Mt. Rainer Tuesday, July 28, lost his footing while trying to find the pony trail down the mountain, which the party had lost in thedarkness, and feel 300 feet, killing him instantly. When his body struck it bounded some 30 feet, nearly i assimr over the ledce. where it would have gone down the Cow litz glacier an indefinite distance and probably never have been found. His bodawas recovered the next morning, taken to Tacoma and later sent to Eu gene for burial. Trof. McClure gave a lecture during Chautauqua on the acetylene light on Thursday afternoon, Julv 15, at the j Round table, which he demonstrated! with apparatus. He was an enthusiastic class worker and Oregon City feels his! loss keenly. He was a great favorite! among the students at the State univer sity and universally esteemed for his many sterling qualities. His death comes as a personal bereavement to hundreds of persons throughout the state. The Mazamas held a meeting at Para- dise paik and passed fitting resolutions regarding the death of their deceased member, after which brief and impress ive funeral services were conducted by Rev. harl Wilbur of Portland, who was one of the party.
