Tho old Franco American hotel a: Jacksonville evaporated in snicbe one day last week. It was a group o'. board shantipa thrown together with winding labyrinthine pasnages connecting them, one with tho other. Jim Cloggage, tho proprietor of the town site, had tho first Inildin erec ted on the corner in lo53,and it was used as a saloon and grrubling house for several years. 1u ring those' early times every house was a hotel in that ruing camp and most of them were devoted to the uce of the gambling fraternity who comprised a majority of the population. As the necessities required, other small frame braidings were erected adjoining the original one until the entire block was covered. Tha history of that group of hovels would be a subject worthy et a hun dred pages. More than a dozen lives have" been lost in that immediate vicin ilr by violence. Some with tho bowie kuifa and others ruth the pistol shtt. The old rookery passed through arious hands and at last came into possession of a French woman known during the declinirg years of her life as Madame Holt. She had been mar rird nurccrius times before the was wed ded to a brick miker-and laytf named Hull. She married him as a matter of conveniritce. He was an industri ous old Englishman, and tha Madame had au ambition to build a brick hotel in another part of town. He could make bricks, lay them in a wall and rhep the wood to burn them, henea lie was qualified as an important fac tor in the Madame'a hotel enterprise. During the years tint ska was land lady of the Franco American it was ihe leading hotel in Jacksonville. T'lC stager stopped there and the tvas known from Alaska to Washington City. She was a great lover of wine, aud whet a. .convivial companion called on Iit she would imbibe too f eeiv end cflen become ''under tlm n fluonei" to sn extent that wou'd have been unpardonable in any other woman. But the Madame was a privileged eharactor. She was gooJ, and, like Jim Fik, "never wnt back on the poor. For uianv years, during the the last of her life, the would pilv her dining room table with the residue of breakfast, dinner and supper and Ivavo the door optm. No man was so pour or needy but that he could walk in and help himself to a nival. The prince sin! the beggar weratilike wel come. But Madame Holt, whom tnsidpn name was Jane DrRoboam, was of noble birth. Sho was highly educated and kew how to entertain tha most refined. Sho was especially proud of men of distinction. She had one apartment which she called the enator's rootti, and cnotliel which she ca ltd Col. Stone's room. Col. Stone was for many years superintendent of he 0. & G. Stage line, and made her hon-e his headquarters when up was in Jacksonville. An amusing inci dent occurred t the Franco-Aine can hotel in 1878. Senator John H. Mitchell called there for dinner on his way back froai this city to Washing ton. A friend from Ashland dined with him and the Madame was pro fuse in her compliments and prodigal in hpr bill of fare. The senator was as gallant as the was complimentary, and finally expressed a vrTiirio posess the old lady's photograph. He had no soonerjoade tha remark than she ruhcd off into the parlor and came back with her life sized per' rait en closed in a tlaek walnut frame, weigh ing (bout ten pounds. Th senator took tt in his hands, surveyed it and pronounced it a perfect likeness of the Madame, although it-been taken years before and tio more resembled his an cient hostess than a church spire looks like a hayatack. "Now," said she, 'SHcator, I present this to you, and I want you to take it to Washington and hang it in your room at the Ebb: It House." In vain he tried to induce her to keep it until ha returned, when he promised to call for it and bring it to hia home in Portland. She decided otherwise and her Chinese servant wrapprd itnp in about a dozen news papers ready for him (o take with him on the stage, which soon drew np at the door. He And his Ashland friend monnted the box with the driver, the sonator carrying tha Madame'a pres ent, which looked like a barn door off" iu hinges, to take it safely to lbs end of the stags line at Reading was was an impossibility. It wound have required the services of a furniture wagon and a couple of able-bodied men. To relieve himself of the responsibility Mitchell entrusted that portrait to a friend in Ashland who still has it in his possehxion. Of course the Madame always understood that it was taken to Washington to be looked upon by the president, cabinet officers and dignitaries. It was necessary, as a matter of self preservation, ta de ceivs the Madams. ' Her kindness was mora than an ordinary mortal cauld enduro But she was a noble hearted woman and sho will live in the memory of many grateful wander ere to whose needs she ministered when misfortune and want pursued them. Sunday Mercury. Keep Them Out. The Toledo "Blade" voices eastern sentiment in regard to pauper iru mi gration in the following forcible lan guage; "There are over 3,000 Russion and Romaniad paupers on the ocean, en route for this country. The law re quiring thpir return by the vessels in which tht-y came should be rigidly enforced- We have had enough of the dregs of Europe emptied on our shores. Ignorant, brutalii-d pauper slaves are very poor material out of whic to fah ion American citizens. L-t us have no rnor European off courings dumped into our already complex social sys tem. The danger is already groat enough from the vagrant and criminal foreign class without adding a single member to it. We heartily agree in the tMggstion of a contemporary that enngrers at its next meeting should enact a law denying access to this country to any immigration unpro vided nith a certificate from the American consul resident in the dis trict whence he came, vouching that the bearer is of good repute at home, uble-bodied and hu!f supporting." One familiar with the sentimental pretests of eastern jaurna's, two years ago, in regard to the anti Chinese ag' lators on the Pacific coast, would hard lybelievesuchbentiments as these would be tolerated in the east; but it is the eastern ox now which is l.eing cored, and circumstances haiu educated that ection of our ;conimcn country more than all the speeches of anli Chinese ngitator. The sunrise coast shakes hands with the KUnset beach on the question of fortign immigration. Warvkd of Her Son's Deatu Edward Millman was killed near East Lyons, Mich., Sept. 26th by tho wreck of a locomative on which he was fire man. At about the same moment his mother, in Fort Gratiot, said she dis tinctly heard her non'a footsteps on the nalk outside of ber house. She heard him come to the house and shako the c" en door. She ran to let him in, hat found no one at the door. The event worried her sorely, and to sever at neighbors she said she new something had happehed to her boy. Four hours iater news of his death arrive I. It had happened at 'he instant the mother had thought she heard her boy's foot steps. The celebrated Dr. Tanner, who made quite 0, stir several years ago by a prolonging fast of forty days, is now a member of thn community of Faith wta at Shalam, N. M. In a recent letter he lays down the broad proposi tion that nine ten hs of all the crime and disease in this world is due to the. human stomach. Keep the stomach undefiUd with meat, especially free from thp fl-sh of the swine, and there is hope, that man mav live up to his highest aspirations. This is the doc trino-which the Faithists aro trving to enforse praotically in their eolony, but the result thus far has not been encour-a-in". The community is rent with jealousies and dissentions, which get far to show that a purely vegetable diet will not eliminate tho minor pas sions, whatever effect it may have upon 'he great ones.

Among the Mountains. What could this earth b without the mountain)-! Their fingers bring tha treasures of the snow from tha passing clouds and sprinkle the dew pearls upon the plains. From their glacial plowshares tha fertilizing soil it turned to inightv farrows upon the earth, while from their mervois ol fire they issue the molten rock froin whose desintergration the wasted soil is, to be replenished. Ice and fire meet in fierctTextrrmoj inHhis mity borderland of clcuds and earth, where the mountains rrigr alone. As one looks from the tranqtil deaps of tha sound or the restless flow of the Columbia upon the shapeless vastnesi of Rainer or the splintered heights of Hood ho little comprehends wonders of geology and what revela tions of beauty unfold on nearer view. It is to some of these revelations of tho past history arid present condition of these mountain peaks that wc now in vite your attention. When we go to the monn'ains we must be like them things of nature. Wo must forgot the artificialties of our civilization wc must avoid the hotels like a pestilence, we must partake of the wild life of the wilderncsB. MounteJ upon tbe hurri cane deck of a cayus-e, with accumulat ed treasures of mineralogy, botany, and art piled thereupon, wa consecrate our selves to the solitude and the verities of niture. First and foreinest among the moun tains to every Oregotiian is Hood. Itis the ground of the earliest memories of the 'visable universe to all of as who were borned and reared iu Oregon. Ths time when Mt. Hood was "a hole in the ground" has become a classic allusion among all Orecouians, and sacred to the memory of Old Joe Meek. While used as a synonym of tho im possible, this popular rumor cirr.,nfter all, very near the truth. In fact, there was a time whpn Mt. Hood wa a hole in the ground or, more exactly, when then was a hole where Mt. Hood now is. Like all things materi al, this snowy pillar of "ha sky is sub ject to change, may bo measured by time, and so has u regular biography, unwritten yet, save by the rocky pans of its glaciers upon tho scoriao sheets below, and unread, save where a wandering student or a busy miner has caught a glimpse between the lifted leavps of the mighty book. Though belonging to the Titantic or der of earthly thiug!-, yet just as the animal or plant-Hood has its person of growth and decay. It is one of the temporary affairs that ths unending forces make and mould and destroy. Without being particularly scientific in form we may frame a series of views that will show how things look ad before Hood began to be. The picture may be a little dim, but we must expect tha mist of years to gather about a subject bo remote. A few facts must be a sunbeam to guide our thoughts into the void. Miners sav that in all tha canyons north of Hood there ledges of granite. We are also told that Mt. Difnncs, a bold dome southwest of Hood river, is also gianite. We ourselves found on the north side of Hood above the snow line rocks of granite and prophyry. Near the mouth of Hood river there ia a bank of conglomerate, the pebbles of which are granite or qaortzose, while the cement is ferrugimous. Now granite is one of the old rocks. It is plaionic and forms old lands long out of water or undisturbed fire. Such old formations as tha Allegahney, Rocky, and tho Alps rangjs are of granite. Doubtless the first ejection of Mt. Hood formed a burnt moan d many miles in diameter, at a slight incline toward the center, but the bulk of Hood was emitted at once. After a period of inactivity the earth beneath was squeezed again. .New rivers of lavs, over ran tba old. The roughened surface of the gold limigae so retarded ths flow of -new lava streams that the mountains gradually became vnry steep. Streams of lava ran'out, now on this side, now on that, not in concentric circles, but in ridge after ridge. The mountains grew higher and higher, spreading over the prostrate forms of old ridges that bad bowed their necks to make him a throne. Tie vast'body of molten reck accompanied by steam in its upward bursts threw piles of the surface gran ite and tilled the ancient strata into every conceivtabls position. Alt, Hood thus became a great cone, with long slopes and rounded lop, which held within a funnel reaching down lo the Tartarean fires. The summit may havo been several thousand feet higher than now. It was like the vol canoes of tha Sandwich Islands vast mounds of black rock with a hole bored in Ihe lop. '.Vest Shore. Sam's YalUy. Sam' Valley, on tho North side of Rogus Rupr,"hM"becnvlsiiJd by a partof-the committe ?ent out by toe Missouri colonv now encamped in East Portland. These who visited that lo cality bring a favorable report, and when other members of tha committee return, it will bo dreided whether cr not they select that plaen as them fu ture home. Sam's Valley is a cove in tha mountains, or rather high hills, which divide the waters of Rogua River from those of Jump off Jos. It is a beautiful through secluded locality, and is situated about ten raiiei North of the O. 4 C railroad. Ihe land is genera'ly a sandy loam in th valley and very productive. The. table land is what is termed red soil. This is also rich. Fine wheat, oats and corn suc ceed in most places in tha valley and vegetables are raised in abundance. Many of ths monster watermelons now in this market, grew along the creek coursing through the valley. There is good Spring and rummer range on all ths surrounding highlands, even to '.he mountain summits. There are mines nearby where workis being done. Of all the localties in Southemi Ore gon, Sam's Valley is ths most desirable) for the settlement of a small colony. The valley derived its name frosa a old Indian chief, whom tba early tat tlers gave that title. He was of a branch of tho Rogna River tribe and had much influence with his band. Ha remained friendly with the settlers, notwithstanding tha inducements and threats of the great war chief Joha, until 1855, when he joined tha war party aud shared their final fate. Many a b'oody scrimmage occarrd In that vicinity during ths eventful years of 1855 C which bars gone down Into history, and form a part of ths recrtt of pioneer days. Mercury. Mines and Mining. It now seems likely that there will be a revival of mining interests in this statvduring the approachinr winter and next spring. Far many yetrs it has been known that vast amounts of low grade ore existed in Douglas, Jackson and Josephine counties, but as large capital was required to work tha rock and make it pay, nothing has been done in that direction. Men of means have recently turned their attention to these mines, and there is no doubt but that within the next twelve months there will be as many as five ten stamp mills in operation in Jack son county alone. In Douglas conn ty, on the waters of Sonth Umpqaa licit veins are known to exist and which promise to develop inlo vast deposits of untold richness. Tbe mines in Baker county are attracting more attention than ever before. It is one of the most promising gold and silver fields on the Coast. There are several'mills in course of construction on Pine creekjt'hif among whieh it that of Judge J. C. Tolman, who is on the ground superintending tha wort in person. Tha signs of tba times aro hopeful for a wholesome change in tha basiness interests of tha State ia tha ear fature. New York, Spt.2S. A gentlemen just arrived from Paris speaks of hat ing met -Theodore Tilton in a restaur ant there a few evenings ago. 'He was accompanied by Mrs. Bullard, whose father left her a fortune which he made fiorti a patent medicine. Tilton -and Mrs. Bullard are often teen riding out together, and are a very distinguished looking couple. Tilton's daughter who mariiad Pelton, is living with her child mSwitzerland. Pulton, who be came afflicted soon after tba marriage with intermittent attack of insanity, has at last become a hopelers lunstia and is now in confinement. Tilton's other daughter is living with her hus band in Chicago, and Mrs. Tilton is in a convent in New York. "All things coma to him who waits." At the same time it is well to tip ths water occasionally. The things will come quicker. 1
