FIRST SPRING FOOD
Made Happy Miners in Thun
der Mountain District.
NO "KICK" ON PRICES CHARGED
Winter Hardships Are Xott Over,
Game Is Getting: "Within Hench
and Life In That 'Remote
Region More Tolerable.
THUNDER "MOUNTAIN. Jlay 7. Food
has arrived In camp and Thunder Moun
tain is happy. Men who have been count
ing the number of beans a man vrlll eat
at a meal, then cutting it in half and
calculating how much longer they could
hang on, now wear a happy and con
tented look on their haggard and hairy
faces. To upset the bean pot or elop
over a bit of food will no longer be rated
In this camp as among those accidents
worse than crime. The provisions were
brought in from Salmon City. The trail
was bare of snow, except where it crossed
two summits a distance of about 23 miles,
and there the travelers shoveled a pas
sage through It. The other part of the
journey was through a grassy country
which furnished abundant forage for the
horses and game for the men. Deer were
reported as being so plentiful that binds
of 25 and 100 were a common sight. In
front of the camp of every man who
came in that way hung the carcass of a
deer, or part of one, offering substantial
?roof of a story which might otherwise
e salted down with those so prevalent
of girae and fish. Another year and such
a sight will be impossible, for the devel
opment of a country means the destruc
tion of Its game. An army of prospectors
running over the hills, penetrating every
nook and cranny, always armed and al
Tvays alert, and urged on to slaughter, in
season and oiit, by the gnawings of an
empty stomach and the fittest only can
survive. Man meets the environment, the
deer succumb.
The "store outfit" arrived at the head
of Marble Creek on May 2. To B. 'A.
Hunsker belongs the credit of being the
first man to land a stock of merchandise
in the Thunder Mountain district. To the
Salmon City trail belongs the honor of
being the first trail over which horses
came Into the camp this year.
A high divide, covered with four to six
feet of snow, separates the head of Marble
Creek from the Dewey mines, and made
it impossible for the merchandise to be
brought nearer than three miles from the
latter place. Pitching his camp In accord
ance with his necessity, Mr. Hunsker
started his pack train back for more pro
visions, with the hope of getting, them
in before high water, as the trail he had
come crossed Marble Creek 10S times,
while to cross it once would be impossible
"when it should become bank full.
The pleasing news that food, and a
generous variety of it, was at hand, was
brought into camp by two men coming
over the divide. It was difficult to give
credence to such a tale, and it was at
first set down as a miserable and un
timely joke, but when one of the bearers
of it produced a can of condensed milk
and poured some of It into his coffee, no
doubt remained among those who wit
nessed this rare sight. As well might one
expect to see Jersey cream in camp with
out the cow as a can of milk left over
from last year's supply. Early the next
morning a goodly number of men might
have heen seen going up the Marble
Creek trail, each carrying an empty sack
and a pair of pack-straps.
No sales of food had taken place in
camp under 50 cents a pound, and it was
greatly feared that the merchant might
not depart from a precedent which was
to his advantage. However, their fears
were Idle. Tho man proved to be a Chris
tian. He willingly accepted a reasonable
amount of ducats and left them their
pound of flesh. For breakfast bacon he
charged 30 cents; for sugar, rice and
beans, 25 cents per pound; for flour $10 a
sack. Butter was the highest-priced arti
cle he had except tobacco. The former
brought 75 cents a pound in 10-pound tins.
Tobacco "Bull Durham" and "Seal of
North Carolina" sold for $1 a pound.
Every one thought the prices very rea
sonable, and every one purchased to the
limit of his pocketbook to buy. and his
physical ability to pack.
A merry crowd, light of heart and
heavy of burden, hit the trail homeward
that afternoon, spreading the news to all
they met that grub had come. There
was enough for everybody, and though
such luxuries as condensed milk and dried
fruit were soon exhausted, bacon, beans,
sugar and flour went far enough to in
sure every one a full stomach until the
next pack train should arrive.
It is difficult for one who needs make
no greater effort to obtain provisions
than that of requesting Central to con
nect with a first-class grocery house to
appreciate what this introduction of food
into the camp really meant. In the sav
ing of physical labor it was prodigious; in
the production of pleasure, only those
who have lived 'exclusively on a single
article of diet or been half-starved for
days and weeks can appreciate It. The
nearest point where food was obtainable
before the advent of the pack train was
Warren distant 0 miles. To go there
and back meant to walk 160 miles, to pack
out enough to live on on the way, and
to pack sufficient bedding to Insure sleep.
The amount of provisions that could be
carried on the return trip, after the as
saults upon them of an appetite whetted
to the starvation point, could last but a
few days at most, and then another such
trip had to be taken.
Probably no class of people on the con
tinent have put forth such strenuous ef
forts, or taken such risks of life and
limb, to get sufficient food to hold body
and soul together as have the prospect
ors of Thunder Mountain this Winter
and Spring. But a respite has come at
last the deer are coming closer and
closer, while along every trail pack horses
and provisions are converging to the
:amp like the spokes of a wheel to the
hub. A few short weeks and a land of
snow and starvation will be flowing with
milk and honey.
MARSHAL.Ii BOND.
FOUND A GREAT ORE BODY.
Development of the Wizard Mine in
the Sampler District.
SUMPTER, May 25 In the shaft of the
Golden Wizard mine, of the Minersville
district, near Sumpter, a most remarkable
ore body Is being developed. It was struck
at a distance of 70 feet from the collar,
and for 50 feet has continued high grade,
Tvith no immediate prospect of going out.
Neither wall has been touched by the
vertical shaft, although the stratification
indicated that the ore was in a ledge
dipping at an angle.
On the surface the big ledge of the
Golden Wizard was opened by tunnels and
open cuts, proving an average width of
about 40 feet. In nearly all the surface
work values were had. Development was
most thorough for a distance of 700 feet
on the ledge, which proved one great
chute. From this section values of 5S to
530 were had In the various assays made.
A large amount of ore was blocked out.
Then the management, under J. M. Mc
Phee, constructed a small hoist, with a
capacity of 500-foot depth, and began sink
ing. It was expected when this work be
gan that the ledge would be cut p.t a
depth of about 300 eet.
When ore came In at 70 feet. Manager
McPhee believed that he had struck a spur
of the main ledge. Values in the shaft
ranged from 5S, the lowest, to 550, the
highest, the average being 523 50 per ton.
No cross-cut has been made from the
shaft yet, but it Is believed that the ore
body struck there "will prove as -wide as the
main ledge, as revealed by surface work.
This Is the flrst big strike made in the
Minersville district, which Is comparative
ly new in point of development. L. E.
Royse, one of the owners of the Wiscon
sin group, on the same ledge as the
Golden Wizard, was the Minersville pio
neer, and began work there when advice
was uniformly against it. The Wisconsin
now has a shaft started, a depth of over
100 feet having been made. The Golden
Wizard strike will stimulate work In the
district immensely, as It is known to
have large ledges, and this proof of values
leaves nothing more for the establishment
of large producers.
Manager Charles Parker, of the Phoenix,
In the Greenhorn district, spent yester
day In Sumpter, a ranging to make ship
ments to the property, for commencement
of work on a larger scale. Monday the
10-stamp Pyx mill, owned by the company,
will resume operations, commencing on
500 tons of rich ore now in the bins there.
Stoplng will continue in the main ledge of
the Phoenix In the meantime, and it is
expected that ore will be in sight to keep
the mill in continuous operation, while
other exploratory development is In prog
ress. The Phoenix was purchased last Fall
for $80,000, and recently became entangled
in litigation, at the time the second pay
ment of $12,0u0 was due. This payment
has been made, and all obligations met.
Manager Parker will commence a cross
cut from the lowest level reached on the
big vein 200 feet vertical depth to cut
the parallel vein, which Is about 100 feet
distant. This has not been touched, ex
cept on the surface, and it is the pur
pose of the manager to determine what
It has with depth, also whether its dip
will converge the two. When the latter
fact has been established, he will know
where to begin the shaft contemplated as
the new method of development. Opera
tions there will be pressed with all vigor,
the cross-cut being finished Inside of 90
days.

in the schools of this city, and does not
desire a situation here.
THREW KXIFE ACROSS COURTROOM
Act of Prisoner Jnst Acquitted at
aiontesnno.
ABERDEEN, Wash., May 25. Argenta,
the Italian who was mixed up in a quar
rel with a fellow countrjman In this city
last month, during which some serious
cutting was done, threw Judge Irwin's
court at Montesano into confusion yester
day. When the jury declared him not
guilty, the knife with which he had
stabbed the plaintiff, Amlgo, was given
back to him by his attorney, J. C. Cross.
Seizing it with a savage curse, he raised
it above his head and hurled it across
the crowded courtroom. It sped like an
arrow through the air, everybody crouch
ing to escape being hit, and lodged in the
woodwork on the opposite side of the
room, the keen blade burying itself half
Its length In the wall. When order was
restored, Judge Irwin commanded the
Sheriff to bring Argenta before him. The
man sullenly complied, and when ques
tioned as to the reason for his mad act,
refused to reply, and for his contempt
of court was committed to tho county
jail for two days.
STRIKE CABLED OFF.
Employers Prefer "White Cooks
When Reliable as Chinese.
BAKER CITY, May 25. The strike of
the Cooks' and Walters Union against
the employment of Chinese help, has been
called off, a compromise having been ef
fected. The St. Iawrence and the Saga
more were the only two hotels affected.
The proprietors of these hotels have al
ways been willing to employ white cooks,
provided they could get reliable men, who
can cook as good as the Chinese. The
union guaranteed that they -would fur
nish reliable cooks who can be depended
upon at all times, so the matter was set
tled. The union sent to Portland for
cooks, who will come on at once, and re
place the Chinese cooks in both hotels.

BAKER CITY, May 25. Arthur Mc

THE BROOM AS AX EMBLEM OF VIC
TORY OR SUPERIORITY.
Hume (History of England) says at the
end of 1652:
"In this action the Dutch had the ad
vantage, and night came opportunely to
save the English fleet. After this victory
Tromp. a bravado, fixed a broom, to his
masthead."
The two quotations of Do Jonge tend
to show that, after a signalized victory,
the hoisting of a broom at the masthead
was not something new. but already in
practice since two centuries; and Hume
also says that It was done after the vic
tory. The words of Mr. Cornish imply
that Tromp came on the coasts of Eng
land as boasting of what he intended to
do, while history tells us plainly that
the English fleet had left the field of bat
tle when the broom was hoisted, which
makes a great difference.
The popular conception of the broom,
when carried aloft, is that It is an em
b'em of victory.
The O. R. & N. Co.'s "Portland-Chicago
Special" (note the name) is entitled to
carry the broom, because It is the peer of
any train to the Pacific Coast in the mat
ter of equipment, and reaches Chicago
and the East one day earlier than any
other Lowest rates always. Ticket of

The miscreants were apprehended by the
Chief of Police of Cottage Grove.

ate Sermon To Be 10 Diplomas.
SALEM, May 25. The 22nd annual com

were begun today. At 3 o'clock this after
noon. Rev. W. C Kantner, pastor of tho
First Congregational church of Salem,
preached the baccalaureate sermon before
the assembled school and many visitors.
The subject of Dr. Kantner's sermon was
"Life's Open Door." Tho speaker said in
part:
"Behold I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut It." Rev. 111:8.
"To the company of young people who
have completed a course of study In this
institution, and are about to go forth to
take up the duties of -real life, possibly
under peculiar circumstances, this lan
guage comes as a special message. There
is first of all the suggestion of our rela
tion to God. 'I have set before thee.'
There Is a divine element that enters Into
and modifies the life of all of us. No
man can shut God out of his life. The
marvelous possibilities of life are largely
due to the hand of God In our personal
history. He sets before us the open door
to usefulness, the open door to highest
manhood and womanhood, the open door
to the higher and better life. But there
are times In our life which may be spo
ken of as flood-tide epochs. They come
Into the experience of all of us. To these
graduates this hour marks a flood-tide
epoch. The greatest of English drama

GOOD PEELING IN MARION
REPUBLICANS1 EXPECT SUCCESS ALL
ALONG THE LINE.
Canvass Closedin the Southern Part
of the County Large Claims
of the Democrats.
SALEM, May 25.-iThe close of the first
week of the Marion County campaign
finds the Republicans more hopeful bf
the success of their entire state, county
and Legislative ticket. The Joint discus
sions of the canvass are being well at
tended, and good Interest Is manifested
by the crowds. W. J. Culver, chairman
of the Marlon County Central Commit
tee, says there Is in evidence more Re
publican enthusiasm than for several
years. He says the state ticket will be
elected by good majorities-. Furnish will
be scratched some by Republicans, but
the disposition to throw down the party's
standard-bearer is not confined to organ
ized voters in any one locality, but, on
the contrary. Is found only among In
dividuals in small numbers. The scratch
ing for Governor will only slightly re
duce the normal Republican majority, and
will by no means endanger the loss of
Marion County to the Republicans. The
Republican ticket Is gaining strength, and
the legislative and county candidates
will be elected without an exception by
handsome majorities.
The Democrats view the political situa
tion from another vantage point and, as
usual, are claiming nearly everything and,
as In the past, will probably be contented
with what they manage to snatch from
the political grab-bag. W. H. Downing,
chairman of the county organization,
says Chamberlain will certainly carry Ma
rlon County. He bases the prediction on
the amount of disaffection he has discov
ered to exist among a class of Republican
voters throughout the county. Mr. Down
ing Is equally confident of the election of
B. B. Colbath, for Sheriff, but Republi
cans generally regard the defeat of John
F. Stelwer as , an impossibility. Mr.
Downing says the Democrats will elect
J. A. Jeffrey, Joint Senator from Marlon
and Linn Counties, and avers that indi
cations are favorable for the success of
a part of the Representative ticket. W.
T. Slater has proven a good campaigner,
and it is expected he will come as near
being elected as any of the other candi
dates on his ticket.
The candidates have completed the can
vass of the south end of the county, and
on Monday will begin the second and con
cluding week at Gcrvais, speaking at
Monitor in the afternoon and spending the
evening at Woodburn. In the canvass the
Democrats probably have the greater num
ber of experienced speakers, having as
chief spokesmen three lawyers: Messrs.
Jeffrey. McMahon and Slater, but the
Republicans have the record behind them
namely, reduction of county expenses,
wiping out of county debt, and fulfillment
of platform pledges, which can be pre
sented with convincing logic by such
staunch business men and farmers as T.
B. Kay, A. M. La Follett, Squire Farrar
and E. M. Crolsan, while Frank Davey
Is fully qualified to handle all three of
the Democratic orators.
The personal fight that Is being made
by McMahon on his opponent, Crolsan, is
considered to have a reactionary effect,
and it is said that Crolsan will receive
as big a vote as any other Republican
Legislative candidate. McMahon attacks
Crolsan's record as Sheriff of Marlon
County, and charges him as such officer,
with having exacted thousands of dol
lars of Illegal fees. In his defence, Cro
lsan shows that McMahon is conducting a
campaign of misrepresentation. Mr. Cro
lsan presents figures showing that the
aggregate of all salary and fees Teceli'ed
during his administration, less the cost of
conducting the office, netted him a sal
ary of about 52400 per annum, while un
der the salary system the present Sheriff
receives an annual salary of ?2500. This
quarrel Is the only mud-slinging feature
of the campaign.
The campaign will be closed In Salem
on Saturday evening, with a big demon
stration. J. M. Poorman, of Woodburn, was In
Salem Thursday. Mr. Poorman is state
committeeman for Marion County, and
says the outlook for Republican success
In this county Is good, hut that all Re
publicans should work faithfully for the
entire ticket until the last ballot is de
posited on June 2, that Oregon may be
decisively kept in tho Republican col
umn. ST. RAYNER AT AURORA.
Touches Democratic Financial Policy
Compares With Republican
AURORA, Or., May 25. Henry St Ray
ner, of Portland, delivered an address be
fore the citizens of Aurora last evening.
He spoke before a large and appreciative
audience, whose attention he held over
an hour. He said:
"Again, the Democratic party, with all
of Its 40 years' history of negation, va
garies, failures and mistakes, steps into
the campaign in Oregon, the Mark Tapley
of politics pretending to be jolly under
the most adverse circumstances; and, like
the veritable Tiddlebat Titmouse of pol
itics, is again attempting to delude the
people with their gauzy cheap-banner of
peace, scuttle, retrenchment and reform."
The speaker then entered Into a de
tailed discussion of Democratic mistakes
and failures. How, under their policy of
free trade, Buchanan turned the treas
ury of the United States over to Abra
ham Lincoln, in 1S61, without a dollar In
it; with the National debt bearing 12 per
cent interest, and the freo soup kitchen
the most thriving institution of the
country; how the farmer, the merchant
and the laborer were then laboring un
der the throes of disaster bankruptcy
and starvation; how, under the Republic
an administration and Republican pol
icies of protection, reciprocity of com
merce and sound finance, we paid off the
most unprecedented war debt, reduced
the Interest on Government bonds from
12 per cent. Democratic Interest,
to 2 per cent Republican in
terest; paid hundreds of millions of dol
lars annually in pensions for the old
soldier, disabled In defense of the flag,
and turned over to President Cleveland
and a Democratic Congress the most
enormous surplus ever in any National
treasury; the country then enjoying an
almost unparalleled prosperity every
branch of manufacture, Industry and
trade enjoying the general benefits of
our prosperity not a cloud apparent in
the American sky of prosperity; and how,
after 32 years of Republican policies, un
der Republican legislation, the Demo
cratic President, with a Democratic Con
gress, under the banner of a 'Cheap
Dollar" and "Cheap Goods," and a mock
auction policy of pretended retrenchment
and reform, the Democratic party, within
three months, commenced to drive the
whole country into the .tortures of dis
credit, receiverships and bankruptcy
the most unparalleled disasters of our

DOLLIVER AT EUGENE.
Presented the Political Issues Why
He Is in Oregon "Campaign.
EUGENE, May 25. Hon. Victor B.
Dolllver, of Iowa, addressed a large Re
publican gathering In this city last night.
Tho speaker explained his presence in the
Oregon campaign because of the bear
ing of this election on those of other
states. He said it would be a manifest
Impropriety for one who is a. stranger,
hence unacquainted with local politics and
affairs, to undertake to talk to them upon
any of the questions that were of local or
state Interest alone. Those things could
be attended to by the local speakers; that
he had qome to Oregon upon invitation to
present from the standpoint of the Re
publican platform, some of the reasons of
our Republican faith.
He complimented the people of the stato
upon tho fact that they had put this
campaign upon the highest level of Re
publican principle by nominating for the
office of Governor a man who, like so
many of our greatest men and most hon
ored citizens, began life as a poor boy,
and by industry and economy worked his
way up in the world. The election of
such a man should be an Inspiration to
every boy In Oregon, encouraging him to
believe that by equal efforts he also may
not only succeed In business, but be hon
ored by his fellow citizens.
Speaking upon the importance of the
election In Oregon, Mr. Dolllver said that
both Republicans and Democrats In his
own state, Iowa, watch with great Inter
est tho result of the June campaign In
this state. To be able to say with some
show of truth that public sentiment Is
tending In a certain direction, Is a great
advantage in a political campaign. "We
Republicans In Iowa hope to go out on
tho stump this fall and tell the people
that public opinion is with us, as shown
by the fact that the voters of Oregon
elected a Republican ltcket from top to
bottom. We hope to be able to say that
the people of Oregon gave an unquali
fied indorsement of Roosevelt and his
fight against the trusts. If we can do
that we will have a strong showing in
our favor. The Democrats, on the other
hand, hope to see a Democratic Governor
elected In this state, for such an election
would be an indication that the state Is
becoming favorable to Democratic poli
cies." He expressed the hope that the re
sult of the election here will leave no ex
planations to be made by the Republi
cans of Iowa and other Eastern States.
In speaking of the prospects and prob
abilities of the election, the speaker said
ho did not believe the people of the United
States would very soon again vote to
commit the interests of business and in
dustries to the management of either
wing of the. Democratic party. They may
bo very good people, some of them doubt
less are, but they do not understand the
philosophy of American business. They
have never explored the sources of our
National prosperity.
Here followed a review; of the condi
tions brought about by the last Cleveland
Administration, and the arraignment of
the Democratic party for the calamities
following the free trade Wilson law was
both scathing and effective. In cohtrast
with this. It was pointed out that the
record of the Republican party for the last
five years, the dally statement of public
accounts, the credit and debit entries In
the National ledger stood at once an un
answerable argument In favor of contin
ued Republican control both in state and
National affairs.
FAIR IN EASTERN OREGON.
State Officers Return From Canvass
East of the Mountains.
SALEM, May 25. Secretary of State F.
I. Dunbar and State Treasurer C. S.
Moore returned today from a 10 days' visit
In Eastern Oregon. The gentlemen vis
ited the Counties of Malheur, Baker,
Union, Umatilla, Morrow and Gilliam, vis
iting the interior of those sections that
arc seldom reached by candidates for of
fice. In discussing the political situation as it
was presented in Eastern Oregon, they
said J. N. Williamson for Congress in the
Second Congressional district, will run
away ahead of his ticket. There is not
a Republican but will vote for the Prlne
ville man, while many Democrats will in
dorse him on June 2. In the sections vis
ited Williamson wa3 found to be most
popular. On the trip some Republicans
were encountered in some localities that
will not vote for Mr. Furnish for Gover
nor, but Democrats were found who an
nounced that they would support the Re
publican nominee, and Messrs. Moore and
Dunbar are of the opinion that the gains
from the Democrats will equal the slight
loss from the Republican ranks, and that
Mr. Furnish will be elected by the normal
party majority of the state. In no section
was there being made any fight on the
balance of the state ticket, which from
Supreme Judge to State Printer, will re
ceive the united vote of the party in'East
ern Oregon.
The situation regarding county and Leg
islative tickets In the counties visited was
found to be more complicated since local
interests figure largely In the success of
the candidates, irrespective of political
affiliations. For Instance, in Malheur
County, the old county seat fight as be
tween Vale, the present seat of govern
ment, and Ontario, which aspires to be the
county seat. Is the real issue in the pend
ing campaign, and will probably result In
the election of a Democrat to the Legis
lature, since he resides near Ontario, and
represents a section equalling more than
25 per cent of the voters of the county,
who will support him, regardless of po
litical views, and purely for business rea
sons. In Baker County the result on the
Legislative ticket will be very close, with
chances favoring the Republicans. The
gentlemen report the same condition In
Union and Wallowa Counties, while the
Republican Legislative candidates of
Umatilla and Morrow Counties are reason
ably certain of election.
Messrs. Dunbar and Moore report a very
