There are tunny grand aiid heuutlful

and as coot as anybody could wish.
The descent from here Is very even, be
ing about 1:100 feet in sixty miles, and
It "talks" all the way. The McKen
zle, I am told, was a favorite hunting
and trapping ground in early duy-t.
The ranches along its banks, now oc
cupied by a native-born generation,
who to some extent follow iu the fool
paths of their auceslois, have not been
developed beyond the extent of a hole
In the wm us, and game of various
kind-, including deer, bear, cougar and
smaller fur-bearing animals, is quite
abuudaut. The camp is never short of
venison. When meat gets low some
body takes a gun and goes to the lick
a little distance up the river, aud theu
for a few duys there Is plenty. The
stieani abounds in large trout of the
"rcdsldo" rariety, which ure said to be
very gatuey.
Sixteen miles from here the river,
whose volume at tills point is about
that of the Yamhill at ilc.Minuvllle,
drops down out of Clear lake, one of
the wonders of this part of Oregon.
It is described a depression ot opening
in lh lava bed a mile or so in width
aud two or three in length. There is
no visible source, evidently being fed
by springs nil pnl ieil from the snow
K-aks surrounding. More wonderful
still, on the bottom ol this lake stands
a pet rilled forest of lira and the water
is so clear that they can plainly be
see u scores of teel Mow the surface.
(Jetting into a boat and rowing out up
on the lake is said to produce a start
ling sensation iu one the first time.
It is like being suspended in mid air
over a forest. Think of it!
I sat down to write about Ilelknap
Springs, but Hud that I have digressed
several miles. Here at an altitude of
18U0 feel aliove the level of the sea and
almost within speaking diHtui.ce, u it
were, of the cold peaks, noils up a
spring of water heated to a teniera
tureoflS8 deg. To more compreheu
sibly state how hot it is, an egg can
be fairly cooked Iu it in three minutes.
Tue apiearancu is that of pure spring
water, while to the taste il is mildly
brackish, but not disagreeable. An
analysis made by l'rof. fcjhawofihe
state agricultural college last October
demonstrates that It holds iu solution
the following ingredients calculated iu
grains cr U. H. gallon:
Calcium sulphates 1-1-11
Sodium chloride
Potassium chloride 7.0S
Magiicsibtu chloride -'-)
Calcium chloride G'-'.-'O
Silica 4.7:2
Iron and Alumina 17
Manganese chloride trnee
l'rof. Shaw calls attention to the
largo amount of calcium chloride,
"which has been shown- to be of so
much value iu cases of neuralgia,
rheumatism and kindled diseases."
But long before l'rof. Shaw got In his
sclentillu work a great multitude of the
common people had become Imbued
with the belief that the water possess
ed powerful medical qualities, and es
pecially that ii would "kuock" rheu
matism. I meet people hero every
day who bear testimony of miraculous
cures wroight upon friends or rela

twenty years ago she was cured of
rheumatism In hwr right arm. Ten
years later It attacked her left, and she

In the springs the panacea for old age.
People come hero from long distances
and various parts of the state for heal

eral substance In the water that they
drink copiously and bathe in frequent
ly; whether it is duo to the lavish use
of hot water; whether it Is in part due
to the pure mountain air, or whether
it is the result of all these influences
acting together, I am persuaded that
ilelknap Springs Is a wonderful natur
al sanitarium. What it will do for a
rheumatic hand useless for months I
shall be able to tell later on.
There are about 100 persons here at

Three of these from Moscow, Idaho,

fectly satisfied to have hern allotted
one of the comfortable improved
farms that belong to the Indian
settlers on the Silctz, but had no
fancy for settling on oue of Silctz
streams where tho labor of clear

Several months ago one of Doug
las county's most estimable young
ladies, the daughter of a prominent
fruit grower, whilo engaged in
nicking fruit for shipment, care
cssly scribbled her namo and ad
dress on a slip of paer and "sorter
uccidently on purpose like dropied
it into a box ot the choicest variety
of prunes, and lot and behold,
when she hapoiied to think of it
and look for that little Bcrap of
paper it could not be found. A
few dayB ago tho young lady was
very much surprised, to receive a
letter Injuring the postmark of a
littlo town in i'cnnpylvania, nut
far from Philadelphia. It was from
duelling young grocery clerk,
who told, in gushing lunguugo, bow
he had discovered the long lost
precious soap of paper in opening
a box of the world's renowned
Umpqua valley prunes, and with
what deep feelings of emotion he
had viewed the fair one's "sig., eta.,
etc.," while sampling the delicious
fruit and arranging it in tempting
display, labelled 15 cents per pound
(home price 5 cents). What olse
was said wo know not, nor can we
guess the lady's reply. We leave
that to the imagination of our
readers.

This veteran pedugogue is now well

was taught in llunton county in
1855, and during the forty years
which since elapsed he has been

Corvallis Times: Cruel fate Ims
dealt unkindly with the sheriff of
Klutnath county. He was aboard
the Southern l'uciflo train hold up
near Hiddfus Monday night, and
with child-like submission he yield
ed up 120 in cash and his 38
calibre, blue steel barreled Colt's
revolver to tho single robber in
sight. Since this "itluo steel bar
reled revolver" is the insignia of
his office, and the emblem of his
authority, in fact, the one good
right arm of the very law itself,
this sheriff should hereafter, when
he leaves home, lock his shooting
iron in the safe or bury it in the
back yard, o that bad men cunnot
again take it away from him.
When tho first issue of the Con
