end found the dead body of his father
in the place designated.

sight Elde of the head and passed out the
opposite temple. Mr. Marquis left a let

ining property which they were contem
plating purchasing. They all express

ing of 5000 acres more in the same neigh
borhood, about four miles west of Eugene.
About 20 have made their selection of
tracts for individual purchase, and will
bring their families here and begin work
at once.

number of their people will come to this
county in a vers' short time; that is, as
coon as they can terminate their business
affairs in Nebraska and make the change.

ing to their demands and resources.
A TOWX THREATENED.
Auburn, Baker County, May Be Bar
led ly a Slide.
BAKER CITY, May 5. The little town
of Auburn, located 12 miles south of this
city, is in danger of being carried into
the canyon. According to Mr. Alexander,
a. resident of that place, who was in Ba
ker City today, the ground Is already
cracked along the hillside, overlooking the
town, and a fissure about four feet wide
has appeared in places, and is continual
ly widening. Mr. Alexander thinks the
town will be buried in the canyon, as a
elide sooner or later is certain to occur.
Some Chinamen working placers there
have a fine lead of rich ore, and are work
ing hard to take it out before the slide
ehall occur. The fissuTes are caused, he
Bays, by the Chinamen mining out the old
channel.
The Bed Boy Mining Company, owning
the celebrated Red Boy mine, situated in

dn depth, and to that end 350 tons of ma
chinery has been purchased in Chicago,
and will b eshipped here this month. In
Jtho shipment will be three boilers weigh
ing 20.000 pounds each. This extensive
development on the port of the Red Boy
people will determine the permanency of
the ore veins In this entire section, and
will do more to inspire capital with con
fidence that Eastern Oregon ore veins go
down than all things else combined.

OREGON CITY, May 7. Every business

that people are buying more and usually

Hot and Mineral Springs.
The country in the neighborhood of
Lakevlew is said to be a region of hot
and mineral springs. There are three
springs especially very large near Lake
View, and which may eventually become
noted as health resorts. In Klamath
County there are also many hot springs,
two or three being near Klamath Falls,
says the Republican. But the most re
markable spring of this kind Is on Bare
Island, In Upper Klamath Lake, about
15 miles north of the Falls. This Island
aprlng Is one of the largest, and Its water
is said to be a sure cure for all the Ills
that flesh is heir to. Bare Island con
tains several hundred acres, and would
be an ideal place for a Summer resort,
the only drawbar being the inconvenience
of getting to It ahere is another large
hot spring on the western shore of the
Lake, near Eagle Point, and nearly op
posite Bare Island, and distant from it
200 or 300 yards. This spring, together
with the splendid facilities for hunting
and fishing la the neighborhood, will na
turally draw the attention of health and
pleasure seekers, and In time. If a branch
of the Oregon Midland should run through
that country. It Is likely that an attractive
and much patronized Summer resort will
be located there.
Truant School Lair.
Chehalls Bee-Nugget
John and Clara McDonald, of Tenlno,
were fined $20 and costs each at Olym
pla last week by Judge Linn for con
tempt of court in refusing to send their
children to school after being ordered to
do so by the court This Is the same case
which was up some time ago. It will be
appealed to the Supreme Court If the
Judge Is finally sustained, one of the first
things the Chehalls School Board shouid
do next year is to secure a truant officer
and compel the enforcement of the com
pulsory education law, There have been
more children loafing about the Chehalls
streets during school hours the past year
than ever before, and this in violation of
a law .which Is now being tested. Let's
get in and enforce this law, and tit the
boys and girls to make gopd citizens,
rather than permit them to grow up lead
ing lives of sloth and indolence.

There were already evidences of it when
we left though but for the bubonic plague

TEE TOTAL ECLIPSE.
Preparations for VeTrlns: It by
Washington Naval Astronomers.
CHICAGO. May 7. A special to the
Times-Herald, from Washington, says:
The total eclipse of the sun, scheduled for
the morning of May 23, Is regarded as an
astronomical event of the first importance
by the experts at the Washington Naval
Observatory. Many weeks have been
spent in 'preparing for the phenomenon.
Sky charts and Upited Ejtates maps have
been carefully studied, with the result
that the chief astronomers have decided
to equip two expeditions one for Plne
hurst. Moore County, N. C, and another
for Barnesvllle, Pike County. Ga.
To tho North Carolina staUon, Profes
sor A N. "Skinner will pilot a corps of 13
astronomers and a like body will accom
pany Professor Updegraff into Georgia.
There are two reasons why the Washing
ton stargazers have selected these distant
points for viewing the coming eclipse.
First, they desire to set up their instru
ments in the very center of the path of
totality; second, a careful examinaUon
of the weather charts Indicated that they
were much more likely to escape cloudy
skies at this season of the year In Georgia
and North Carolina than In Virginia, along
the coast from which the phenomenon
may also be observed In the event of a
clear atmosphere. Professor Skinner ha
gone to Pinehurst to superintend the erec
tion of one of the largest cameras ever
constructed.
Other members of the corps will make
visual drawings of the various features
of the eclipse with the aid of powerful tel
escopes. The Naval Observatory experts
expect to gather new data, which, added
to what is already known, wlil aid mate
rially In determining several disputed
points regarding the sun and Its surround
ings. The astronomers are hopeful that
nature will not be so perverse as to pre
sent a clouded sky on the morning of the
2Sth.
