ALL RECORDS Palouse Section Never Had Better Prospects for a Big: Crop. COLFAX, Wash.. July 4. So far, this season has been the most favorable ever known for wheat In the Palouee district, and some record-breaking yields are prom ised. Last year the yield was the largest In the history of the section, but this sea eon is even more favorable, now that a copious rain has fallen, and It is believed by many fanners that last year's record will be surpassed More rain, fell In May than ever known in that month. This -gave the grain a splendid start, and the prediction was made that If another good yaln fell in the latter part of June, tho crop would be a record-breaker. Rain fell in the first few days of June, since which time it has been dry, but unusually cool, there being leas warm weather than usual In June. Some uneasiness was manifested lest the late grain be damaged by the dry weather, but the ram of yesterday and today removes this fear, and the crop is now assured. Tho acreage of Whitman County is not quite as large as last year, owing to a larger acreage of Summer fallow and a diversity of crops. Last year thiscounty produced 11,000,000 bushels of grain, HOPEFUL FOR ICE-BOUND BOATS. Officer of Thetis Believes Portland and Jeanie Will Be Reached. SEATTLE, July 4.

As to the strike on the Oregon City trolley line, I am as anxious as any one that it should be settled, for the convenience of the ptibllc, as well as the advantage of the owners and work men. I have not been asked -to serve oh. any such committee, and have little faith In voluntary offers of arbitration. This dispute between the officers and hired men is not only a public Incon venience, but also a very serious Injury to the people of Clackamas and Multno mah Counties. Mr. Gruber'a recent let ter in your paper seemed to suggest the only principle on which a settlement of such disputes can be had without Injury and loss to the public There is certain ly no better reason for allowing employ ers and their workmen to conduct an In dustrial war In civilized communities than there is for allowing citizens to 'attempt to settle their private disputes with clubs and shotguns rather than by procoss of law. It seems to. the writer that tho next Legislaturo should provide for an Indus trial court to settle such disputes, and not permit either party to indulge In a strike or a lockout, either before the Judgment or afterward. Many of the employers, as well as the employes, are very much opposed to such a law, but for the protection of the people at large It is absolutely necessary Men should be allowed to manage their own business in their own way, so far as it may be practicable, but It is an ele mentary principle of our law that no man shall use or abuse his property or busi ness in such manner as to cause an Injury to others. The patience of the public In tolerating these industrial wars has long since ceased to be a virtue. Tho disput ants have proved In thousands of lock outs and strikes that they cannot settle their difficulty peaceably and without In jury to others, and surely the time Is ripe to provide laws for a settlement of such controversies-, even though it he neces sary to provide special courts for that purpose. W. S. U'REN. CUTTING AFFRAY PROVES SERIOUS. Baker Ofllcers Now Looking; for Man Oat on Bail, BAKER CITY, July 4.-Coroner T. N.

The fenco sur rounding the Courthouse is to be torn down and the grounds laid out in an artis tic manner, with gravel walks and bench es distributed about at convenient places.

AMERICAN COINAGE. The History United of Inscriptions States Money. New York Times. Said a coin collector, whoso fad is' early American coins: "I am reminded by the recent publication In the Times Magazine ol thtj mystery of the 1804 dollar, of many curious facts about an early coinage which are very little known outside of numismatic circles-.' J9r .instance, how many know thvt the word's. E Pluribus Unum,' which have appeared on various United States coins and ore on the stand ard silver dollar iand the nickel 5-cent piece of today, were never authorized by law to be so placed? Very few, and yet, no doubt, as many kriow It as know that the later motto, 'In Qod We Trust,' which appears on all the minor United States coins, was likewise originally stamped on them without authority from the Govern ment. "The motto B Pluribus Unum' first ap peared on an American coin in 17S6. There was no United States Mint then. and. In fact, no United States, the Constitution forming tho Union not haying as yet been adopted. There was a private mint at Ncwburgh, N. Y., and 'E Pluribus Unum' was first placed on a copper coin struck at that mint. Very few collections have specimens of this coin. It Is very valu able. "In TTS7 a New York goldsmith coined a piece of money which was known as 'the $1G gold piece,' and upon It th motto was stamped In this form: 'Unum E. Pluri bus.' Only four of these coins are known to bo in existence. They are valued at more than ?20O0 each. Now Jersey Issued various copper coins In 17S7 with the mot to stamped upon them. A great roan v of our early coins." beforo there was any legal authority for National coinage, were made in England. Most of theso were copper, and were coined for the different states, and all bore the words, 'E Pluri bus Unum.' "The United States Mint was estab lished in 1752, but the use of the National motto on any of tho gold, silver or copper coins wa3 not authorized or directed by any of the provisions of the act estab lishing It. Tho motto remained on our early gold and silver oplns Until 1E34, when It was omitted from the gold coins. 'In 1S3G It was omitted from the 25-cent pieces, and In 1637 from all sliver coins. It was not stamped on any co',n again' until It Appeared on the nickel and the standard silver dollar. "The word In God Wo Trust were first placed on the 2-cqnt piece, which came Into our subsidiary coinage In 1SG6, but Is now no longer part of It. The motto was placed thefo by direction of Jam is Pollock; then Director of the United States Mint at Philadelphia, and not by any legislation of Congress au thorizing the minting of the 2-cent piece. The motto was subsequently stamped on our silver half and quarter-dollars, the mint thus boldly declaring the theolog J lcn 6tatus of tho country, regardless of tho Constitution's attitude on tho sub ject" Clean Baseball. Detroit Free Press. Clean baseball Is impossible where the players are allowed -to form themselves Into a debating society after every play, and thje umpire cannot maintain order i( the management will not assist him. Without order basebatl is not a game, but a riot. If an uraplro Is flagrantly Incom petent, there are methods by which he can be removed.

Three Thousand Tons of Ore ia Sight Work of Development Electrum Discovered. 'GRANTS PASS. July 4.-It Is now known for a certainty that the recent copper strike made on the Oregon-California line. Is tho richest and greatest ever made In the Northwest. Colonel Crawford arrived in Grant's Pass yester day from the scene of the strike, the claims of himself and associates belrig the ones on Which the discovery V3 made. He brought in a quantity of ore from the strike. It is tho finest ever taken from any copper mine In the West. "We have made the rich strike in what we call the Cleopatra group of claims, located In Del Norte County, Cal., and running a distance of 13.BJ0 feet into that county. The claims have a width Of 5000 feet cropping Into Josephine County as Its northern extremity. Tho camp, which we call the Deltrick district, can only be reached by way or Grant's Pas and by the Grant's Pass-Crescent City stage road. The Diamond Creek road, which our company recently bulk, leads from the Grant's -Pass-Crescent City road to Camp Crawford, where our claims are situated. "We have a force ot 16 men at work taking out ore. This is being removed from the vast vein that has a width of 100 to 300 fceU Wo are moving the ore by the stoplng and quarry system. In this Tidy we havo opened tip the vein to a depth of 400 feet. This ore we havo divided Into four classes, with the following respective values: Class one, ( to SO per ctnt copper, $10 gold. J3.W silver; class two, 23 to 37 per cent copper; class three, 12 to 16 per cent copper; class four, 6 to 10 per cent copper. Three Thousand Tons of Ore in Sight "We have 3000 tons of this ore In sight, much of which Is of the first arid second class. We arc preparing to put in a smelter on our claims for the treatment of the ores." Colonel Crawford is a mining engineer of Philadelphia, a member of the Geolog ical Survey at Washington, and a member of the North England Federation of New castle. He was ordered by tho late President McKInley to go to the PrlUp plnea and make geological Investigations for the Survey at Washington, but was too old to accept' the trust. lie has mined In many climes and in many dis tricts, but he is frank In .admitting thajt this recent discovery eclipses anything he has ever .seen. He is highly elated over it. not alone because of its value as a copper producer, but hecauso of the fact that It has been the means of bringing to light the existence of n metal as an allOy that he has long contended was produced In the natural state, and this Is electrum. For several years. Colonel Crawford has been giving his attention to this matter. Tho electrum which Colonel Crawford has discovered Is a combination of copper, silver and gold and has great commercial value in the manufacturing of elcctrotyplng and half tone plates. Great chunks of this metal weighing hundreds of pounds each, are removed from the claims of Colonel Crawford and associates. Samples ot the ore have been Identified by an as- sayer. c Colonel Crawford has found the ore In quantity running along stratifications of asbestos, and occupying what Is known as the "Great Copper Pole." This extends from Mount Shasta northward through the Slsklyous, through Del Norte County. Oak, through Josephine County, following In this course o Alaska, where It Joins the noted Klondike gold fields. This cop per discovery will benefit the world gen erally, especially In Its production, of electrum ores. It will also be the means of bringing to light the great treasures of Del Norte County. Cal.. and Josephine County, Or., each of which has, as yet. been but scratched over. MINE'S TROUBLES HEARING END. Ualslcy-Ellthorn Will Be Opened Up Agrain Soon. -BAKER CITY, July i.

When the 5 and 10-cent stores were es tablished and proved a success It vrce supposed that the lowest limit had been reached. But the 1-cent store hns ln the past few months become an established Institution in New York. Unlike the 5 and 10-cent stores, these appeal to both sexes, hut only to those of very tender ages. The little school boys and girls are the chief patrons of the lcent stores, and they arc established ln localities as near public schools as possible It might surprise t!ic averago person to see the variety of useful and ornamental articles that can be sold for a cent. Tho counters and windows of the 1-cent stores are literally racked with goods -of every conceivable variety, and when neatly spread put they make a rather tempting display. The average boy does not know what he wants when-he has a penny to spend. He goes Into a store of the ordi nary kind and look around, his eyes grew large and greedy, and he asks tho price of one artlclo after another, only to find that everything Is beyond his reach. "How much money you got?" asks the clerk, exasperated at the child's uncer tainly and delay. The child holds up a pnny on Important" sum to him.

Then he lurns his attention to more Important customers and the young purchaser, with his penny- in hi grasp, is neglected until the toils are ready to appear In his eyes. Sometimes the clerk take's pity on him and helps him to de cide, but more often he la left to himself until ho leaves the storo in despair. The idea of the now penny store is to make trade attractive to- the child Jpflth only a penny to spend. The store Is pe culiarly his. Huge signs are displayed on every side announcing that every article costs Just 1 cent. What a feast to the eyes of the boy with only a penny to spend! He first gazes Into tho window and then goes inside and'passes from one codnter to another. Of course, he pur chases something, and comes back the next day with another -penny to spend. THE SCARCITY OF CORKS How It Has Developed Several Queer Industries. New York Evening Post. The fact that the world's supply of ccrk Is much less than the demand has been working a peaceful revolution In many trades. The Increase in the price has ren- dered It necessary to devlre other kinds of stoppers.

The Secretary of Agriculture has received i report from Dr. M. S. Lantz, who was recently sent to the Umatilla Indian reservation, on tho recommendation of Senator Mitchell, to Investigate the prevalence of Itch- among the Indian horses. Of the 3000. horses on tha reservation, he finds, that fully 20 per cent are affected, some badly, othera slightly. The riding hSrses generally are in good condition, The trouble from the disease arises from, the fact that the In dian horses mingle with, the horses of xrhlte settlers who rent farms on the res- I ervatlon. Dr. Lantfc believes the best wav to J eradicate the disease Is to have a dio ping vat, and after killing the worst cases, dip the balance. The Indians would "i01 Jp, Ms process.

It Is not reasonable to suppose that a man can exercise the essential functions while the urinnry channel Is blocked by stricture or other disease, which drstroys tho vital power nnd which becomes more aggravated under Improper treatment. These diseases, while they lost, always detract from the stxual and bladder functions, and an, early cure is always advisable.
