The bar at the mouth of the Yam

Gazette: This year,s second c;op
of roses are now blooming the sunny
hours away in some of the Heppner
gardens, and many pear trees have
bloomed a second time since losing
their spring crop by late frosts.
The editor of the Murray Sun, in
the Cceur d'Alene mines, says the out
put of that camp amounts to some
$12,000 or $14,000 indust every week.
This is a very favo:able showing
when compared with last year's work
in the Cceur d'Alene mines,
The Pine Creek mines, in Grant
county, are reported very rich, and
there are already about 400 men in
camp, which is fifteen miles long.
The best feature of the ledges thus far
opened is that the deeper they go the
richer the rock is found to be.
The large force of men employed on
the Cascade division on this side of
the mountains, are busily engaged in
the work of railway construction. Tun
nel No. 2, which is 400 feet in length,
was pierced on Sunday last, and the
work of its completion is going rapidly
ahe?d.
The building to be used for the Or
egon fat stock show, which will be
held in Portland in the early part of
October, has been completed, and ac
cepted by the association. It is situa
ted at the northeast corner tt West
Salmon and King streets, and its di
mensions are 70x136 feet, two and
one-half stories in height.
The city of Portland has $38,000
less in sack now than it had at this
time last year. On Saturday the com
mittee on Ways and Means borrowed
$20,000 fro;ii the Portlau I. Saving Bank
at 8 per cent. This will help along
for a time, but it is only a drop in the
bucket, as it will be six months before
any taxes begin to come in. The city
seems to have increased its capacity
for spending money faster than its
power for collecting it. It is probable
that a pretty heavy tax will be levied
next year. Cregonian.
A Port Townsend paper says: "Six
teen Chinamen were brought here re
cently by the Virginia. They were
picked up on a rock near Stewart's is
land, where they had been landed by
a boat from Victoria. The Chinamen
had been on the rock four days with
out anything to eat. They were tried
before the district court and remanded
back to Victoria, but as the Canadian
government requires payment of $50
for each Chinaman landed on Cana
dian soil, the United States authorities
have a knotty and expensive problem
to solve."
Superintendent Fillmore, of the
Southern Pacific company, stated re
centlv in San Francisco that work
would be commenced immediately "on
the extension of the California & Ore
gon road. From 800 to 1000 men
will be placed on the line north ot
Reding, and kept there until spring
occupied chiefly in tunneling, excava
ting and otherwise preparing for grad
ing which will commence as soon as
the rains are over. The Superintend
ent stated that they would not likely
reach the state line inside of a year.
The supreme court at Victoria de
clined to liberate Hibbs, the default
mg postmaster of Lewiston, on a writ
of habeas corpus, and he was remanded
for extradition. He will now, without
doubt, be returned to the United States
to answer for his crime against the gov
ernment. If the extradition laws were
so amended that defaultiug real estate
dealers, brokers, bank cashiers, con
tractors and other thieves of the genteel
sort, who live off the substance of hon
est industry to: a tine and decamp
with the spoils, might be returned, the
effect would be salutary. The prisons
of the states that border on British Col
umbia and Canada are yawning for
some dozens of those reprobates, whose
example in rascality, together with easy
immunity fromjpunishment secured by
a pleasant trip across the border, is a
mighty agency in recrutiing crime of
this sort. Telegram.
legram:
There is quiet, substan
tia evidence 01 returning prosperity
throughout the state. Tie tendency
of business is upward, thoug'i the
grade is steep and the ascent slow.
Sieepy looking country places are tak
ing on, in many instances, a fresh coat
of paint and the people generally wear
more cheerful look than a year ago.
As long as every granary, barn and
cellar is well stored with the products
of agriculture plenty must abound,
and the lesson in make shift that peo
nle in the middle and lower walks of
life, financially speaking, have been
compelled to exercise for a few years,
has given them valuable experience in
making -themselves comfortable on
what they have, instead of running
store bills. There are strong evidences
that the long feeble commercial pulse
will grow stronger from month to monthj
and in due time the people will realize
fully what they now dimly feel, the re
turn of active prosperity.

The brick work of the new State
University building at Eugene has
been completed and work on the
structure is being pushed rapidly for
ward. When finished the building
will be one of the finest educational
institutions in the State. There is some
indignation, however, in the interior
that Oregon, with its large surplus in
the treasury, can appropriate only 830,
000 for a StateiUniversity, while on
the other hand, the schoool district of
Portland can run in debt to build a
High School, which is superior to any
on the coast. The people are indig
nant at the States' stinginess, not at
Portland's liberality. News.
The winged seeds of the bull thistle

Persons are reprehensibly careless in al
lowing these seeds to mature in such
vast quantities. The most persistent
efforts will be necessary to eradicate
them from fields where they are allowed
to obtain a. foothold. Fire is the only
known exterminator, and, unfortunately
in dry times like last month, fire has a
tendency to bum things not considered

W. T., the scene of the attack on the I
1
Chinese hop pickers Monday, is that 1
the attack was made by white men and
not by Indians, as reported. The at
tacking party erept up to the camp at
the dead of night while the Chinese
were asleep. The first intimation the
Chinese had of the presence of the
enemy was a volley of shots from rifles
and revolvers fired directly into their
tents. The Chinese who were not hit
bv the first fire fled into the brush,
hile their assailants with yells and
oaths fired into one tent after another.
Three Chinamen were killed and four
wounded. The most of those who es
caped made their way through the
woods to Newcastle and were brought
to the city by train. They are all
reatly terrified. The attempt to in
troduce Chinese labor into the Squak
hopfields has been given up and the re
maining Chinamen will be brought to
Seattle as rapidly as possible. Sher
iff McGraw is still at the scene of the
massacre and is making every effort to
discover the perpetrators of the outrage.
