Psxton and wife and Mr. Littler, wife of
Photographer Littler, arrived In Albany
Sunday evening from Indiana, the latter
to join her husband and to male thin her
future horn?. On September 14, at New

First Presbyterian church, the resident
minister officiating, and immediately start

Greatkst Mini. "I will urprUc you, 1
dare say," aaid A. K. Delano v, collector of
cuatoma at Sitka, Alaska, to an Astoria
reporter, "to know that the greatest gold
mine in the world i ltuated at Juneau
City, about 150 mile from Sitka. I atate
it however aa a fact. It la called the Paria
mine, and one of the p-'neipal ownera ia
Senator Jones, of Nevada. The mine pro
ducea from $75,000 to $100,000 worth of
gold bullion per month, and experts aav
that enough is In aight to furnUh tin's
amount for 400 year. If this he true, and I
have no reason to doubt it, the mine ought
to be worth aeveral hundred millioi. to the
syndicate which controla it. One-half of
the mine was origlnallv purchased for
$650. For the other half a trifle more was
paid."
TriK Si sow Foot Rack. The foot
race Sunday, at the old fair grounds be
tween Cameron, of Corvallis, and l oft', of
Waldo Hills, wa witnessed by five hun
dred to one thousand people from all parts
of the valley. It was for $100 a ide. A
large amount of betting was done, and an
attempt made to sell pool at Hale Uacken-
ato'a Saturday evening. The impression
got out that feoff wa a professional runner
who had come into the country and gone
to work on a farm near Salem just to
"sinche" aomebody, which brought him
many backera. The report of the race is
that Cameron got a leading start and kept
it to the finish, winning the race bv three
feet
For Evrrybody. Robert Nourse Fri
day night at the 3pera house. Reserved
seat at Blackman's for 50 cents. A first
class entertainment like this should be well
attended "John and Jonathan" Is a lect
ure for the masses and is not delivered in
the interests of any one. It is to please and
Instruct, and Mr. Nourse aa one of the
greatest orators of the day, should be heard
by everybody.
Ocr Minis Messrs. Robert Brown,A.
B. Woodin, A- Rhoades, H. Ames and M.
Cowan returned last Monday from the San
tia.n mines. They are well satisfied with
their prospects there, and think there is a
big future for that region. Several miners
are there working up their claims ; but
very little gold or silver though is being
taken out. At present as a paying Invest
ment the mines are a thing of the future.
Experts The Seattle Press tells of a
family of father.mother and a little girl who
have proved experta in the art of hop pick
ing. They went to work about 6 o'clock in
the morning, quit at 4 in the afternoonand
averaged nine boxes per day during the
whole time they were at work. That means
nine dollars per day. The boxes were four
teen bushel boxes.

Y. M. C. A. Lewis Lee has returned

very eloquent and glowing account of the

Agomy. "I wish the 6th of November
was over," aaid a stranger to day with an
awful look of agony on his face, just after
passing a locality where Bill Riles was de
livering a circus act on the tariff question.
The remark was so full of mountains of
solidity that we give it in full.
Fuxeral Sermox. The funeral sermon
of Mrs Nancy J Wallace who died the nth
day of February, 1887, will be preached by
Rev John W Osborne at Oak Creek church
on Sunday, October 7th, 1888, at n o'clock

perhaps do about as much business aa our

ahown their public splritedness and con
fidence in their town by making some im
provements that would be a credit to a city
of greater pretention. Corvallis should
rub her eyes and wake up."

will be because they do not wantlyceum

IN IDEA
KRAUSE &KLEIN,
Wheat at Harrisbarg,
Editors JjntHk rat :
In your Issue of Sept. 18th your corres
pondent from I Ian idmig labored to show
that the prices of wheat was first advanced
to 73 cents by the warehousemen. Now,
this may do foraomebut not for the flinti
er that was hauling wheat into Harrisburg
every day that your writer was, and found
that while they were paying 73 csnts here
at Harrisburg, at Junction they were pay
ng 75 cents, and the fact remains certain
they were behind In price continually and
the attempt to delude or fog the average
farmer Is a failure to which many of the
brother farmers can testify. And as to
denominating the price paid at Monroe as
speculative or a wild cat scheme matters
not to ti farmer for if they pay u more
for ou- wheat In spot cash they are busl
nes men to u and it prove to us thev can
afford to or they would not, and the labored
answer to the former query proves to u
whose ox was gored, and to the last part of
the answer In regard to the Injury done
our little town we will leave that for the
reader to determine in his mind who Is
Injuring the town most, they who do not
give as much for wheat as their neghbor
Ing town or him who gives publicity and
vcnlillation to the above facts.

Beply to Farmer.
Harrimriro, Sept. 25th, 1888.
liJiton Democrat :
I beg your indulgence once more and ' I
promise not to write you on this subject
again, Farmer I too much of a petly
logger and, it seems, too unfair to state
facts. I have token considerable trouble to
ascertain the facts In regard to the Junction
wheat market, and I am credibly informed,
that warehousemen there have at no time
during the present season paid 75 cents per
bushel net to the farmer, for wheat. I mean
cash (not for had debts or on time). As a
matter of fact, I will state, that on or about
10th Inst. MrCummlnga, who farms in
partnership with Mr VA Nixon, hearing
that they were paying 7s cents for wheat
at Junction, hauled a load over there, for
which he was offered 70 cents per bushel ;
he hauled it back to Harrisburg and realiz
ed 73 cents per bushel, '.hercfor. Further
more, quite a number of farmers, living on
the west side of the Willamette are haul
ing their grain to this point, and I desire
particularly lo mention, the Strome boy,
who reside south of Junction and are now
completing their hauling of about 3000
bushels of a heat to rpmeyer & Briggs'
warehouse In this town. Now, in all can
dor I ask Mr Farmer, are those farmers
hauling their wheat across the Willamette,
because they realize less here than at Junc
tion ' The echo answers, no. The readers
of the Dkmocrat will, no doubt, see the
petty toggery of farmer, and will think the
mountains labored, etc.

OasKAuu, Sept. 24. -Commenting on the
wheat outlook, a local paper holds that the
rise in the price of cash wheat in this city
to$i per bushel Is an event of national Im
portance, and (s particularly a matter in
which the Northwest may congratulate
itself. The price Is a sort of dead-line in
the market, a It has been declared over
and over again by men In Chicago whose
opinions command rtspect that the day of
dollar wheat I pted forever. Neverthe
less, that price was made Saturday for cash
stuff. It is five years since wheat sold at $1
a bushel, and meanwhile It has been down
to about 66 cents, although it has sold as
high wllhht ll hu.lnao. ltf of
evcral men now In active business. Last
year at this time No. 2 spring sold in Chi
cago at about 70 cents, .he range for the
month of September Ik ing 67H to 71 J
cents, and the average 67)1 cents. Cal)
the average 30 cents, and the increase in
the value of the wheat crop of tho country
