Dave Tern pie ton was in a reminiscent -mood the other night and told the fol lowing incident of ear'y pioneer life in Oregon: "I crossed the plains in 1847 with the company of immigrants of which T. J. Carter was captain. I was then a lad of IS years. We settled in what is now Linn county, about three miles eatt of the present site of the town of Browns- -rule, my lather purchasing the 640 acraJ ilAnaHnn !ai m a! a Ktphal. Pt.l ter for a mare, an old gun, two or three pair of socks and a little ammunition This was two years before the county of Linn was organized with a territory which included what i) now known as Lane county. During these two years we paid no taxes, bad no lawyers and, of coarse, no county officers of any kind. As at first organized the county was di vided in two precincts, one called Keys and the other Kirks. The first election vat held in the fall of 1849 The voting place oi me iveya precinct wis at iuo present site of Lebanon and that of the Kirk precinct was at the present site of Brownsville. There was only one ticket in the field. I acted as one of the clerks of Kirks, though only IS years old. The other clerk was a man aamed Keady. Ths judges of election were Elisba Grif fith, Alexander Kirk, .from whom the precinct was named, and a Mr Walters The precinct polled 37 votes. At Keys (Lebanon) they forgot ail about the election until the day Had passed. We elected a man named Barber for county judge and John Mc'Joy and John Dun lap for county commissioners. For sher iff we elected Isaac Hutchins and for cleikWm McCaw. The name of the assessor I forget. On the first assess ment of the county the sheriff collected taxes to the amount of $1000, and the .county court sit in almost perpetual eee- -aion till they had used up the whole amount in salaries and then adjourned. I remember being at Clerk McCaw'a -place one day when he said to me : "Do 70a know when county court meets again?" .1 knew no more about the -date than the clerk did bat I saw very plainly that be wanted to get another whack at the $1000. Court wis held in fair weather under a maHle tree that -was still standing when I attended the pioneers' meeting at Brownsville last - year. In rainy weather it adjourned to 'Kirk's smokehouse. All that I ever knew it to do for that $1000 was to ad judge a mar named jaks Coon to be In vane. As we had no asvlum Jake was -.given to the sheriff who set him to mak ing; rails till fie got wen enougn to n stitle him o release. Sale ot Oregon Bank Accounts. Considerable interest was taken this afternoon in the sale by Assignee James of the accounts of the Oregon Bank at the Court House steps. The accounts were being soli eingly.

Some Requirements that will Found Indispensable. be Tbe universal article of diet in that country, depended upon and Indispen sable, is bread or biscuit, either in the camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be used It must be baking powder; and the powder manufactured by the pro cesses of the Royal Baking Powder Com pany, miners and prospectors have learned, is the only one which will stand in that peculiar climate of cold aod dampness and raise the bread and bis cuit satisfactorily. Thase facta are very Importint for everv one pnpneing to go to Alaska and the Yukon country to know, for ahould he bo persuaded by tome outfitter to take one of the cheap brands of baking powder, it will cost just as much to transport it, and then when he opens it for use, after al! bis labor in packing it over tbe long and difficult route, be will find a solid caked mass or a lot of spoil ed powder, with no strength and useleaa. Such a mistake might lead to tbe most serious results, Ala-ka is no place in which to experiment ia food, or try to economize with your stomach. For use in such a climate, and under the trying and fatiguing conditions of life and labor in that country, everything must be tbe beat and most useful, aod above all things it ia imperative that all food sop- imim BiiBii nave perteci keeping qualities It Is absurd to convey over such difficult and expensive rontes an article that will deteriorate in transit, or that will be found when required tor ne to have loat a great part of Its value. There is no better guide to follow in these niattere than the advice of those who hare gone through similar experi ence. Mr McQuesten, who is called the "father of Alaska," after an experience of years upon tbe trail, in the camp and in the use of every kind of supply, ssys: "We find in Alaska tbat tbe Importance of a proper kind of baklsg powder can not be overestimated, a miner with a can of bad baking powder is almost helpless in A.aska. e have tried all aorta, and have been obliged to settle down to use nothing but tbe Koyal. It is stronger and carries further, but above all things, it ia the only powder tbat will endure tbe serere climatic changes of the arctic region." It is for the same reasons that the U S government in its relief expeditions, and Peery, the famous arctic traveler, have carried the Royal Baking Powder exclusively. The Royal Baking Powder will not cake nor lose ita auengtb either on board abiporia damp climates, and is tbe most highly concentrated and efficient of leavening agents. Hence it is indis pensable to every Alaskan outfit. It can be bad ot any of Ibe trading companies in Alaska, bat shoald the miner pro are his (applies before leaving, be shoald re sist every attempt of the oatfiaer to Salm off upon bim any of tbe other rands of baking powder, for they will spoil and prove the cause of great dis appointment and trouble.
