Have they so gone, and do they. now go? We appreciate the difficulties tt be
set the board, and the many duties Imposed upon It. We believe that th mem
bem have the confidence of the community and that confidence is not inls-
; placed. But we also know that the matters we have referred to are of vital 1m-
portanee; that this office In its various departments has cost the county thousands
and thousand of dollars; that taxpayers by petition, by published reports,
through 'laws, In person,, and in every way possible, have sought relief, and that
It should be granted.
It IS only by taking up these matters and dealing with them In a vigorous
way that any relief will come. We propose to take up the various offices and
other county affairs, and, in every way we can, aid the board In putting tne
' county's business on a reasonable basis. We do not enter on this work in a
captious spirit or In an unfriendly manner, seeking points to criticise; but it Is

doing more right now than ever before.
Near Baker City active work has been
resumed on the old Virtue, and some

purpose. The Bonanza shaft goes stead

one of thu'blg mines of Eastern Oregon,
but one of the big ones of the world;

there Is hardly a limit to the amount of
money it can produce. The Red Bov.
near Granite, continues to send, out Its
40,000 to $30,000 per month and, besides
Is doing an immense amount of develop

and Golconda, all near Sumpter, send
out their regular clean-ups, are all prop
erly handled and the development work
kept well ahead of tfce slopes.
OVER IN THE" GREENHORN

prevails and with reason. The new
strides made last winter and spring have
been opened up and in a few weeks one
of them, the Psyche, will have a 20-stamp

the Psyche, and almost within the limits
of the new town of Greenhorn, are both
fine properties and the former will prob

The Town of Greenhorn itself Is the
best evidence ot the outlook of the dis

about 1000. The peculiarity of Eastern

A RAILROAD DREAM,
THE TRANS-BERING ROAD.
; During the winter of 1897-s, when I was
in Dawson City; someene sent We a scrap
of a newspaper printed in Oregon, con
tainlng extended . reference to a project
said to have originated in some financial
center, for the construction o a railroad
across British Columbia, across the Alas
Kan peninsula to ,$erfhg straits, across
the Straits, down Siberia to connect with
the Trans-Siberian road "that has , been
built by the Russian Government, r
De Windt has Just returned' from
trip across BIbera, and X talked with blm
when he wasin Portland. He believes
railroad will sometime be built across or
under the Bering Straits.
Did it ever occur to you what wonder
ful possibilities open out from such con
8TUDY, No. I. , -, '
or. Ruin Type.'
ceptKme? Let me 'throw It at 'you ail m
one cnunk, without any preliminaries a
road or system of roads that would en
able a man to take the cars in South
America and travel to Paris or London!
Or, better still, to paralyse your imagln
atlon even more, think of boarding the
cars at Cape Horn, the extreme southern
finest end of South "Amerlcar and rifling
in a Pullman observation car up across
Central America, north via San Fran
Cisco, via Portland, . via Skagway, via
Western Alaska t ' Bering Straits,
through a tunnel under the Straits to
Siberia, across Siberia, down through
Europe to Africa, across Africa to the
Cape of Good Hope at the south end of
AW. .1 '
WHY NOTT
'And why net?. This is a day of big
dreams and ibig realisations. It is sf time
when, 'not the man who does not dream.
but the man with a capacity for expan
sive' dreams and plans holds ths boards
on the stage of human activity. Trite
things, things that men have heretofore
done things that do not appall and
startle, things that do not seem impossi
ble, 'thing that bear resemblance to any
thing that ever before was, these things
are of no use in these days -of marvels
and Morgan and unheard-of attain''
ments.
Why not run railroads from the Cape
of Good Rope to the old Cape Horn, via
the earth? Does anyone suppose that it
'could not be done, if the mind of -man
and tho money of man and the need for.
auch a road were to be supplied? I a
sert that ' while' most people will pooh
pooh at the idea, it Is feasible." if Mr.
Morgan wants to do it And It ia reason
ably cortaln that Mr. Morgan ie really
behind the sending of De Windt to ex
plore and spy out a Toute'for tha rail
road from Paris to NeV"YorkFfilorgan
will not be content to rest untH he has a
road running intd th ends of both the
South American nd African continents.
SO HERE'S MY DREAM, and it was
dreamed by many an old Yukon stamped-
er. during the whiter of W-S. and almost
as frequently discussed around the oabln
fires. It was comforting to 'think of a
time when Alaska and the ? Klondike
would not be "but off from all xsoanectiea
with' the1 outalde world. And the rail
road plans via Bering Striata supplied the
needed imaginary connection.

THE TIDE OF LIFE.
A grand lesson is taught in ths rea
llstlo drama, Th Tide of Life, whlcl
will ' be produced at Cordray's Theatel
Sunday evening, August I. It la that'
a young girl may preserve her innate ' -goodness
and purity, no matter in what
adverse surroundings she may be placed.
The charming little madcap, Jill, who
has been stolen from tbe home of her
millionaire father when a child, is always
the same true-harted. fearless, lovable
maiden, in spite of her .being compelled to
associate with thieve and rascals gen
erally by her piratical pretended father.
You will want to follow Jill through her
adventure to the end of the last act
and when you see her restored at last to
her true home you will say, "Bravo, lit
tle one. You deserve the happiness and
the love you have won." The Tide of
Life is to be put on here with the sump
tuousness of . Scenery and appointment
and the etartllng mechanical and elec
trical effect which make it the melo
dramatic hit of this season in New York
City.
BUFFALO BILL' SHOW.
The thoughtful observer . who visits
Buffalo Bill's Wild West is impressed by
the genuine character of the exhibition.
At the same time' he is quick to ap
preciate the grace and beauty of the ac
tion' observable in each scene presented.
Tbe wild dash of the half-naked and
painted Indian groups, the headlong,
reckless galloping entree of the Ameri
can cowboys, the, stately advance of the
United States Cavalry with Old Glory
at their heads, the barbarlo rush of the
Bedouins of ths desert the ferocious pace
of the Cossacks, the semi-savage appear
ance of the'Mexican yaqueros and the no
less wild South American gauohoa and '
the steady, restless, yet debonair charge
of the Roosevelt Rough Riders, form a
series of stirring scenes that are a fit
preliminary to the stately and perfect
horsemanship of ' Colonel Cody a he
come forward to introduce and command
his mighty cavalcade.
"See Rome and die" is one of the 9
Old World's proverbs, yet one may see
tbe opening evolutions of the Wild West
curriculum and then go home satisfied
that you .have seen something to be' re
membered during the remainder of youi
life. When painted Indian warriors,
curiously-clad Arab son of the sandy
deserts, lithe and agile oowboys, sway
ing vaqueros, fantastic Gauohos, fierce
Cossacks from the Bteepes of Russia, th

German Guard, the fearless, audacious
and unconquerable Roosevelt Rough Rid
ers, 'veteran Cuban insurgents. Westers
girls and other representatives of th
leading classes of horsemen throughout
the world circle around each other, th
scene is full of motion, color, grace and
virile beauty, and alone is worth while
