A Few Wordi From the Coeur d'Alene
Mines..
iN a Pins, W. T Feb. 16, 188.
Editor Standand, A reliable mau just
from there, Feb 12th, says the anow is very
teep. No one doing anything on that ao
count; only building house and jumping
claim and town lota. Everything teem to
be on the (peculation. Provisions are very
high. Many are idle, and no prospect of
work for month to come. People ought not
to think of going to the mine before the 1st
of April, when they can go prospecting.
Board at present i f 14 per week, no credit,
and men who rush into the mine and get
there with little money, and nothing to do.
will certainly uffer. If the mine are good
and extensive, there will be plenty of tim
after the 1st of April, and if they are not
extensive there i no use of going and spend
ing your little mite. I have seen and talked
to many that are there aud who were there
last Fummer, and they say the mine are
good. The gold i coarse and lie on the
bedrock. From four to six feet of dirt has
to be worked that has nothing in it. W hen
you get on the bedrock you may get pay,
or you may not. One of my neighbors
washed up 250 in six'monthi, another $200
in two mouths. They did not make $23 to
$40 per dsy as reported, and they say no one
else did. Excitement alway get larger
Railroads, saloons, bridges, merchants and
all men still try to get up and keep np un
reasonable reorts. I hope all may think
and consider well before they start. There
re at present from 150 to 200 men daily
going into the mines. There are no roads-
nothing but trails to go over mountains, banks,
snow drifts and all the inconvenience that is
possible for human flesh to undergo, and when
there, there is nothing to do and no money
wherewith to settle board bills. I think these
exaggerated reports, exciting the people at this
season of the year, should be checked. This
information is true and correct, and I advise
all to stop and think before they start out

Obituary.
Died, at Cloverdale, Oregon, Jan 31, 1SS4,
Fred rl, oldest aon of C aud A Winzenried,
aged 23 years, 3 months and 3 days;
The many friends of Fred will be pained
to bear of his untimely death, lie suffered
very much. He waa first attacked by that
dread disease, scarlet fever, about six weeks
before his death which left him iu a weak
ened condition, but he waa np and around
until a few day before hi death. He
had been predisposed for some time to heart
ilisease, which caused Ins death. He wa
one of the most highly esteemed resident of
this vicinity, and all will miss in him a gen
ial friend. During hi residence here he
formed many acquaintances, aud many of
those who knew him have expressed the
lecpest regret at hi departing. He leave
a father, mother, listen and brothers to
mouru his loss'.
Oh hearts that are broken down and weeping,
vv hen lite and its longings are past,
You'll forget all this at his greeting
Aud glance ot his tace at last
A Friend.
Tub Chinook, The Waitsburg Times says:
A subscriber in Texas writes for an explanation
of the term "Chinook wind" We will not
attempt to give the scientific causes which pro
duce these winds, but will simply say that
they are are a warm southwest wind, which
suddenly changes the temperature and causes
snow and ioe to rapidly disappear. "Chinook"
is an Indian term. During the time the whole
Pacifio coast was inhabited almost or quite ex-
cluhi"ly by the red man of ths forest, there
waa a tribe living several hundred miles south
west of here, known at the Chinook Indians,
and whenever these warm winds would begin
to blow, the different tribes of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho regarded it as a friendly wind
sent hither by their friends, the Chinook In
lianx. Hence they called these winds ""hi-
nook," a term by which they are still known.
Barn Burned. The barn of Mr J Kaiser,
who lives near Hendricks' ferry, on the Mo
Kenzie river, was burned with all its contents
last Tuesday night The barn contained five
horses, 2 cows, two calves and 12 head of hogs,
all of which were burned to death, besides
two wagons and all hit farm machinery, be
sides the bay and grain. The total loss is esti
mated at $2,000. It is supposed that the fire
caught from a lantern that Mr Kaiser had
been using in the stable the evening of the fire,
and by tome means had not been extinguished,
although he supposed it had. This it quite a
lost to Mr Kaiser, as he it quite a poor man.
Folet Springs Sold. Mr Peter Runey one
day this week sold the Foley Springs on the
McKenzie river, to Capt A C West, of West
lort, Clatsop county, for the turn of $5,000.
The Springs are one of the most valuable
pieces of proerty of their kind in the north
west Capt West is a man of means, and will
make further improvements. Mr Runey has
had the springs about three years and hat
brought them prominently before the public.
We regret to hear of hit selling out, at he it a
first-class gentleman in every particular.
An Excellent Opter. The obliging and
ever gallant Clerk of Coot county ha an
nounced that be will issue marriage certificates
free to all young ladies who apply to him in
person during thi leap year, and at the ladies
have only one in ever four years granted them
to transact business of this kind, Alel Stauff
expecta to turn off a large amount of work
in thi year. The other County Clerks of this
State ought to make a similar offer and help
th cause along.

The Oregon Short Line,
The presence of several parties of engineer
In the central portion of Eastern Oregon is
agitating the minds of many residents of Crook
and Grant counties, and both Prineville and
Canyon City are fanning themselves with the
tiry hope of s genuine railroad through their
respective town. On party is said to be tra
versing the route via Baker City and Prineville
to the Minto past in the Cascades, and another
is working farther couth through Harney val
ley. It i likely that a feasible route may be
found, and if th work i being performed by
the Union Pacifio a road will undoubtedly be
built over the Cascade and on to Portland.
There i a rich country to be developed in cen
tral Oregon, and it It probable that there Is
something substantial In the theory that it will
be tapted by a communicating line from the
Oregon Short line within the nsxt two year.
These engineers will complete their work in a
few months and the intention will then doubt
less be made publio. The completion of th
Oregon Short line to Baker City will at onoe
decide the matter.

Sidewale, We clip che following from th
Oregonlaus Eugene correspondence: "The
city ha ordered a sidewalk built on th west
side of Willamette street between Fourth and
Fifth, on land belonging to th Oregon and
California Railroad Company. Th company
refused to comply, setting forth that the par
ties who had the land leased at a warehouse
tite must build the walk. Falling to make
this (tick, it wa claimed that Willametee street
did not extend through the company's grounds;
therefore th city had no right to order a
sidewalk built there. This is thinner than tht
other pretext, line the street are numbered
beyond the depot and the railroad company
ha alway heretofore claimed th protection
of the city's laws."
