From the Journal: Crook county hat a little Klondike o ! Tier own, almost at the very door of Prine ville, and the beauty of it is 'there is no ' manner of doubt or perad venture about it. For over ten years George and Lewis McAllister, two brothers, have worked faithfully and earnestly on a mining -claim in the Ochoco district, putting all their spare time and all tbe money tbey earned on the outside in development wort. They sunk a shaft some 60 feet -deep which they were obliged to aban don becanse of the Sow of water and their inability to procure necessary pumping machinery. The - then ran a four hun dred foot tunnel into the mountains with the design of intersecting the ledge. In doing this, as they afterwards discovered, they passed through the ledge and run the tunnel 90 feet heyond it. The ledge was discovered by the slacking of tbe ore through exposure to the air an i tbe fall . ing of chunks of rock into the tunnel. A few weeks ago about two and a half tons of the ore was hauled down here and shipped by Joe Hi ward and Dr. Belknap to the Tacoma smelting works. The returns arrived here this week in the form of a check for $152 28. Tbe ex act amount of ore smelted was 4458 pounds. The yield was 3.92 ounces of gold per ton worth $20 au ounce, and 25.7 ounces of silver per ton worth 5 an ounce making a total yield of $79.73 per ton. Tbe cost of smelting was $9 a ton and tbe freight from here to Tbe Dillee was one cent a pound and from the Dalles to Tacoma $24. After deduct ing cost of freight fron hereto Tacoma and cost of smelting there Is a net bal ance on this less than two tons and a -quarter of ore more than $100. His Last Bkt.

You take tbe first -Dick and it tbe woman I name isn't ug lier than anyone you can select tbe money is yours.' 'Done,' said I and I turned my eyes on tbe rows of ladies that occupied tbe upper seats. 'I'll take that one away up there in the left band corner.' 'The stranger looked up in the -direction indicated, drew a lone breath and fixed a steady look on the woman I had pointed out for about ten seconds, then tossed me wo and a half and said r 'ine money s yours, by gMii; mats mv -wife."

It is seldom people think otherwise of bankers than as cold-blooded business men. But at least one alem banker is paying attention to German literature. John H Albeit is an ardent student of the German classics and is at present giving hi spate moments to Lessiog's drama, ''Nathan dcr Weise." It is a most difficult undertaking, as it is the highest type of s holarly German, but full of tbe rarest and most difficult idioms of the language. Salem Journal. Saturday evening the Democrat men tioned tbe missing of Mrs. W. E. Chand ler, of Lebanon. Word was brought to Albany on the 6 o'clock train that she had been found at Mr. George Geisen dorfer's. at Lower Soda. She had walked there aloce from Lebanon, a distance ol about thirty-five miles. Poor health is reported as the cause of her trip. Her many friends are glad to know of ber 1 safety. Mrs. Chandler will remain at GeisendOrfer's to rest and recuperate be fore returning home.

He declares bis statement is true, and says he will return with a wagon to bring tbe oliect bacr. Thepetrified man.be estimates weighs 1200 pounds, though of average size, it is to be hoped it is more genuine than tbe Car diff giant, the greatest fake of the age. Notwithstanding the raging storm of the previous night and the threatening clouds on the morning of Saturday Nov. 6, 1897, a goodly number of enthusiastic grangers met at the hall of Grand Prairie Grange .No, 10. There were happy greet ings and hearty hand shakes all round. Council was called to order by the worthy president U C Powell. The opening song led by a trio from No. 10, Mr O L Shaw, Mr and Mrs Wal ker with Miss Lydia Froman as organist, entitled "The Dear Old Farm" was neartuy joined tn by other singers. Then followed oraver bv the chanlain Minutes of the last council, which was neia me previous month at Tangent, vuon rcau ana approved. nun can oi aeiegatea ana pro tern ap pointments showed the ioltowing granges nro rvprewuteu : onaruy, fairmount, Grand Prairie, Harmony, Harrisburg, Knox Butte, Oak Plain and Tangent 8 Not represented : Halsey, Kings Valley and Sand Ridge 3. The committee on tiroeram. vhn selected ai the previous council, reported turca buujccis ior aiscusvion and named the speakers for the same and menoeu mat a permanent committee on program oe appointed. Report was by vote adopted. Ibe chairman arrmintwl tuo jxcviuus uuujuiiiiee anu asked that tuey maae immediate report. "Hail to the Harvest" was thnn mn. by the choir, after which tbe first anl,. jecs now to make our garden produce ail it wiil grow"was taken up by Mr Thomas r roman as leader, followed bv others, all giving valuable information as to mur.. cessful farming. One speaker having made the remark that "our soil was not worn out, but was simply tired and needed rest" found some that rather dis puted his right oi way to the proposition. However, he held bis side ol the track all the same. Pending this discussion dinner was an- announced. Repairing to tbe dining' hall what a sight met the eve 1 Two lnn tables figuratively speaking fairly groaned beneath tbe abundant provision, and adorned with lovely coquets of grand chrysanthemums placed there by beiauti- iui nower gins . urand frame s dinners nave often been r raised. This one was certainly equally as deserving. Among other grand result tbe grange haa brought about is to at of promoting tbe art of preparing wholesome and palata- Die lood, ty us members and its tasty arrangement upon the table. Even a frugal meal in a humble home can be made more inviting by being thus ax- arranged. Ibe afternoon session by a unanimous vote was mode an open one. Tbe hrst song "The Farmer Feeds Them All" by tbe choir and other sing ers, was heartily rendered. The first subject was aeain taken no but only briefly considered, when Hon. S. A. Dawjoo took np the second subject on program "How to bring our Grange oack to the condition it was ten years ago." Quoting aomewhat front the lan guage of a former speaker, be said the grange was not worn out. it had simniv got tired and taken a rest. Thorough cultivation of tbe grange soil is what is now needed. Each member must help to do this. Olher speakers followed with some more words of encouragement. The grange is flourishing in some ovber por tiolia of tbe state and will soon again flourish here. The third subject was now taken np. "Which is tbe best met nod of making; bread.' Mrs Mary F Walker opened the discussion and her remarks and those of other matrons that followed were no ran dom shots. but went straight to the mark. One speaker said she made potato yeast bread, and told how it was done, but when thro her father added to tbe effect that they then called op the dot; and 1 be stood the test tbey then tried it them selves. A member of robust frame, bearing that hot buscuiu were served three times a day at a certain borne, asked if he might - not come there to board. These sallies were not tbe only ones that made the laugh go round. A voluntarially and hastily prepared paper was then read by C H Walker, giv ing a birds eye view of Lino county, pointing out its scenery, natural and ac quired advantages, and its superiority in many respects over other portions of' tbe state. On motion it was voted that the presi dent appoint a correspondent to furnish the procee-iings of this council for pub lication. Tne worthy chaplain of the council was again selected. Harmony Grange hall was chosen as the place for holding the next meeting on the 1st Saturday in December. A vo'e of thanks was tendered Grand Prairie Grange, and expressed in tbe language of the mover was, "for the ex cellent entertainment provided." Program committee reported tbe fol lowing subject for next meeting's discus sion: "How to secure geod roads.'' C 11 . Walker was selected as leader to be followed by other named speakers, two of whom are lady members. J. H. Scott, state secretary, made tome very timely remarks. Interspersed through the exercises were a number of choice selections from th grange songi rendered by tbe cboir No. 10, sucb as "Happy Honrs." "Battle Song" and "Lightly Laugh and Gaily Sing," tbe latter receiving the heartiest encore. The closing song "Father We'll Rest in Thy Love," left a softened and rever ential feeling in many hearts, and its chords will continue to vibrate through the sunshine and shadow of tbe coming years. Uavty goodbyes were spoken and homes we-e sought with tbe feeling that this was the best meeting of all. .May God bless the gracges of our coun ty, state and nation and grant tbem proepesity.

Big Sales Reported at Spicer. Oar correspondent writing from Spicer, under date of Monday, Nov. 8, says: This has heen a stirring day in Spicer. Early this morning farmers of this vi cinity began arriving at the trcio Milling Go's warehouse, where moat of the wheat raised in this section Is stored, la a short time Jno. Simpson, the com pany's agent here, was busy enough re cording sales. During the forenoon sev- -eral thousand bushels changed hands more in fact than had before been sold during tbe entire season, and still tbe farmers came. This sudden rush of business began to Ml on Mr Simpson's nerves and soon after noon he stamped ed and went to Tallman and began tele graphing to head quarter for instruc tions. At a late boor this evening anxious farmers were still bauntiog the warehouse awaiting bis return that they mibt sell their grain before tbe "drop," that tbey believe is coming.

We respectfully represent tbat this harbor is Jirectly west of tbe center of the great Willamette Valley; that it is the ooly important harbor between the Columbia river an 1 Coos Bay ; tbat aside from tbe Columbia river it is tbe only harbor lor the trade of the valley; that for tbis reason it ia the only regulator of height rates and prices cf the products of tbe valley; that tbe partial improve ment already made has returned to tbe people of tbe state many times its cost, in lower freight rates and higher prices for grain ; that tbe benefit in the past is not to be compared with tbe future when the harbor shall become a port for tbe direct export of grain; it now being on ly capable ot allowing the entrance of coasting steamers.- We further represent tbat the tonnage of tbe po.-t in the past or even in tbe fu ture ia no criterion of it value to tbe pub lic for the reason that it affect tbe whole volume of trade of this valley which is one hundred and fifty miles Jong, and a considerable portion of it over fifty miles wide. We also wish to call your attention to the fact tbat with tbe completion of tbe improvement the traffic of tbe port will at once assume gigantic proportions, ow ing to the direct export of immense quantities of grain, wool, bops and lum ber to foreign countries from this valley ; but tbat sucb competition will caose tbe Oregon Central A Eastern railroad to be extended into Eastern Oregon, giving railroad and seaport facilities to tbe largest area of untouched country now in tbe United States.

I kept on faithfully with Hood's Sarsapa rilla, and in a short time my limb was completely healed and tbe sores gave me no more pain.
