in convention assembled, to the presi

With the utmost confidence in the wis
dom of your administration and pledg
ing you the support of the state of
Oregon, we express our earnest convic
tions that the Maine was destroyed by
design or criminal neglect of Spanish
officers, and that this outrage is just
cause for the United States to drive the
Spanish nation from the Western hem
isphere.' "

The Platform
We, the Republican voters of the
state of Oregon, in convention assein
bled, congratulate the people of the
state as well as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
oloud of adversity, which has hung like
a pall over our fair land, has been d is-
sipated. Me recognize that the return
of prosperity is due to the restoration
oi tne republican paity to power.
We are in favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard; we are
unquanneaiy opposed to tne tree coin-
age of silver and to all other schemes
looking to the debasement of the cur
rency and the repudiation of debt. We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured by
the government to the laborer as the
fiuit of his toil and to the farmer as the
price of his crop. A'e condemn the
continued agitation tor iree silver as
calculated to jeopardize the prosperity
of tne country and to shake the confi
dence of the people in th maintenance
of a wise financial policy; we narticu
' larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts
of the free-silver agitators to array class
against class and section against sec
tion; we declare that the. interests of
all classes and of all sections of our
country alike demand a sound and
stable financial systsin.
"While we deplore the imminence o(
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of war, undertaken for the
vindication of the national honor and
the performance of a work dictated by
every instinct of humanity; we declare
that the administration is entitled in
this conflict to the confidence and sup
port of the entire people.
"We are firmly attached to the prin
ciples of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any change in law or
constitution which will abrogate this
time-honored prinoi pie.
"We are in favor of . retrenchment
and reform in state and county matters.
"We demand strict economy in pub
lic affairs, and the abolition of all need
less offices and commissions. "
"The salmon fishing industry, so
fruitful a souroe of revenue to the state,
should be fostered, and to that end we
favor state aid in the artificial - propa
gation of salmon, and their distribu
tion in the waters of this state.

The Prohibition party of Oregon
held ita state convention in New berg
Wednesday. The number of delegates
present was somewhat smaller than ex
pected. Interesting sessions were held
and much enthusiasm was manifested.
xne following nominations were
made:
Representatives First district, L.
H. Peterson, of Woodburu; second
district, C. W. Ingalls.
Governor H. M. Clinton, of Port
land.
Secretary of state H. C Davis of
Halsey.
State treasurer Moses Botaw, of

B. K. limerick, of Philomath.
Supreme judge T. E. Hackerman
of Albany.
Attorney-general T. J. Bright, of
Wasco.
State printer M. P. Marqnam. of
Forest Grove.
The national platform, which
was
adopted, follows:
"The prohibition party, in national
convention assembled, declares its
conviction that the manufacture, ex
portation, importation and sale of al
coholic beverages has produced such
social, commercial, industrial and po
litical wrongs, and is now so threaten
ing the perpetuity of all our social and
political institutions that the suppres
sion of the same by a national party,
organized therefor, is the greatest ob
ject to be accomplished by the voters
of our country, and is of such import
ance that it of right ought to control
the political action of all our patriotic
citizens until such suppression is ac
complished. The urgency of this oause
demands the union without further de
lay of all citizens who desire the pro
hibition of the liquor traffic; therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the legal
prohibition, by state and national leg'
islation, of the manufacture, importa'
tion, exportation and' interstate trans
portation and sale of alcoholio bever
ages; tnat we declare our purpose to
organize and unite all the friends of
prohibition into one party, and in order
to accomplish this end, we deem it but
right to leave every prohibitionist the
freedom of his own convictions upon
all other political questions, and trust
our representatives to take such action
upon other political Questions as the
change occasioned by prohibition, and
the welfare of the whole people shall
demand.
BIGGEST FIND OF ALL.
Great Mine Near Susanville, Grant
County.
W. P. Mount, of Susanville, arrived
in Canyon City Wednesday, having in
his possession some of the richest and
most beautiful free gold quartz speci
mens ever seen in this country, taken
from his recent discovery, the Sky
scraper mine. The specimens exhibited
were of the pretty white quartz variety,
almost identically the same as taken
from the Vitruemine, near Baker Citv,
and came nearer being nuggets than
quartz specimens.
I have known for several months
past that the Skyscraper would, if suffi
ciently developed, become a bullion
producer of no mean importance," said
Mr. Mount, "but the cast week has
shown it to be perhaps the richest mine
on the coast. Even prior to the finding
of the extremely rick body of ore uncov
ered a few days ago, the normal and
continuous wealth of the ledge was re
garded by practical mining men as
phenomenal, the returns from samples
taken indiscriminately ranging from
$80 to 350 per ton. April 1 a body of
gold was encountered in the level fol
lowing the ledge, a description of which
would sound moie like fiction than
fact. At this point the lively, clear
out, hard quartz is literally welded and
bound together by the yellow metal.
samples going as high as $150,000 per
ton. a torn eight ounces of this ore $25
was extracted in coarse gold, while se
lected specimens would give greater re
turns. From the result of three days'
stripping we estimate that $30,000
worth of ore will be taken out. The
deposit of gold has been traced along
tne ledge for a distance of 1,700 feet,
snowing an
ore chute of very unusual
length, and thA Iprtoe ranpinar in wilth
from one to foui feet. Every particle
m . .
up to tne present time will averatre
$100 per ton, something unknown in
bunohes, though without interfering a
particle with the regular precipitation
of the wealth characteristic of the ledge.
.negotiations aro nnder way for the
erection of a modern stamp mill of
large capacity, including rockbreaker,
concentrator and self-feeder. Just as
Boon as the roads are in good condition
the plant will be forwarded to the prop-
erty without delav."
The Skyscraper ia not the only mine
in the Susanville district, by anv
means. Messrs. De Witt and MoLean.
operating the Hughes group in the in
terest of a San Franoisco company,
have completed their shipment of ore
and are now pushing development work
vigorously and as soon as the roads will
admit they will have a 10-stamp mill.
The ore body exposed by Horace Sloan
last winter looks like a bouquet to a
miner's eye, and is already attracting
the attention of mining men. The ore
chute ia between five and eight feet
wide, and in the neighborhood of 60
feet long. . Milling tests show a free
gold deposit of almost $9 per ton, while
a concentrating test will go $30.
The Gem of the Mountains, owned
by Mr. Blake, of Canyon City, now
bonded to Mr. Mount, though base, is
one of the most promising mining prop
erties of that nature in Eastern Oregon.
Development work is limited, but what
hag been done is sufficient to demon-
I urate mat an ore Doay of prodigious
I size will be unfolded as depth ia at
I tained, and also that the precipitation
I of gold will be greater. . The average

neighborhood of $50 per ton, and the

torn of the 80-foot shaft. About 80

K.ss.bility, have been maintains prices
n spite of a declining tendency at

times on this side, and have been mak
ing cash purchases with unexpected
energy?
The United States is furnishing at
present half of the wants of the wheat-
mporting conntties of the world,
about 4,000,000 bushels of the 8,000,-
000 bushels supplied weekly. Would
the gram opeiators abroad, whose
office it is to anticipate the world's
situation, take phlematically a war
which threatened to embarrass even in
the smallest way this vast weekly sup
ply and which might posBibly affect it
seriously?
That is hardly to be assumed. In
Jeed, it has not been the fact. The
other side for a fornight, incredulous
as everybody has been all this time of
the differences growing into an actual
connict, nas oeen ignoring tine crop
prospects at nome ana large offerings.
and has been making liberal purchases
from America at prices which have
been a surprise to the American trade,
It was really remarkable that Leiter
could sell 200,000 bushels abroad Easter
Saturday. These are indications that
if a declaration of war removed all the
present doubts the price of wheat
abroad would advance sharply.
lne effect of war on home prices is
not easy to anticipate. Sentiment
would be a factor. Uuick, decisive
successes exhilirate a nation as they do
inuiviuuais, encourage buemess as well
as national ventures and quicken speou
lation. Any advance in the wheat
price on the other side would be pre
dieted upon some embarrassment to the
export of American wheat. .

ANIMALS AS MODELS.
Some of the ICiperlencea of an Artist In
Sketching From Lire.
"Leaves from the Sketch Book of an
Animal Artist," is an article by Mere
dith Nugent in the St. Nicholas. Mr.
Nugent says: There was an elephant
in the Jardin-des-Planeta that would
not pose unless he were paid for it, and
paid in ativanoe. Then he took pay
ment in buns and pie. but if these were
not forthcoming, he would deliberately
walk to the farther end of the enclosure
and turn his hack. The only way to
get a drawing of this big fellow was to
engage some one to feed him mean
while. In the same gardens I saw an
unusually interesting sight one morn
ing. A little sunbear with a large
marrow bone in his shaggy caws was
resorting to all sorts of hear devices to
get the sweet marrow. Suddenly lie
lay down on his back, placed one end
of the bone in his jaws, and with his
hind paws tipped the other end of the
bone so high up that the choice morsel
slipped into his mouth. If the animal
could only have understood the shouts
of approval that greeted this perform
ance, I think it would have turned his
head. In one of the sketches you will
see how this feat was accomplished. As

Bad Roads Are Costliest.
When once tbe fact gets firmly estab
lished in the minds of the farmers of
the United States that it is more ex
pensive to maintain bad roads than to
make and keep in oondition good roads
they will take active interest in the
question and an era of road building
will begin which will add to their
wealth, prosperity and comfort, and
benefit tbe country at large as much
as has the laying of railroad tracks and
the advance of the steam locomotive.

shows that it costs half as much to

it costs to haul it 500 miles on the rail

with a system of good macadam roads
the farmers would save an amount
eaoh year equal to the interest on from
$10 to $30 an acre, according to the
crop raised, and would increase the

Little Africa, a lithe, petite dancer,
sprang into popularity at Detroit a few
weeks ago, ami throutth a shrewd man
ager, became a drawing card at private
"dinners" given by the "nice" young
men. Two weeks ago the Detroit light
guard gave a "smoker," and one of I In)
attractions was the mysterious Little
Africa.
The Seeley dinner ditnue was repro
duced in all its interesting details.
The little "wigglor" was recalled
again and again, ami each time re
sponded with a new movement.
Glasses clinked to her honor, she was
showered with bouquets an I coins, and
every effort was made to discover her
identity. Since that two "quiet" stag
parties have been given by Detroit
select young men, and Little Africa,
the clever little dancer, as nearly cos
tumed la Eve as was consistent with
proper entertainments, has been idol
ized. Society was vandalized, and Little
Africa supplanted many a sweetheart
in the affections of some fast young
mou. Her admirers have beeu search
ing the city to do her homage, and the
scandalized mom hers have been
searching for her to make her trouble.
It has now been discovered that the
dancer was Frank Brueiser, a well

Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, and
cannot find words to express tho good
it has dono me. I was troubled very
badly with the lcucorrhtfca and sevcro
womb pains. Front the time I was
married, in 1883, until last year, I was
under the doctor's care. We had no
children. I have had nearly every
doctor in Jersey City, and have been
to Bclvln Hospital, but all to no avail.
I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement
in tho paper, and have used five bot
tles of her medicine. It has done mora
for me than all the doctors I ever had
It has stopped thy pains, and has
brought me a fine little girl. I have
been well over since my baby was born.
I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine to all women suffering from
sterility. - . ,
