Gained His Liberty.
It sounds like a queer anomaly to say
at friendship may exist between a
ailer and a captive, and yet it is often
true, and to this, very fact is due the
scape of a U. S. prisoner from the
ounty jail this morning. John Fitzger-
ld, the jailer, about 5 o'clock this morn
ing opened the cell door and asked the
prisoner if he wanted to stretch bis legs
and get in an armful of wood. He re
sponded with alacrity, and when the
jailer's back was turned, just after let
ting him oat, he made a break for the
door and succeeded in gaining his lib
erty. This is the first escape from our
jail in three years, and though it
amounts to nothing and is perhaps bet
ter for the county for the reason that
the prisoner has learned his lesson fully
as well as if he had served his time, at
the same time saving the county ex
pense, yet the jail officials feel very
much cut-up over the affair.
Children's Party.
A party of little folks gathered at Mr.
nd Mrs. H. Glenn's residence Saturday
ight. It was a surprise party on Grace
lenn and since children relish any
thing of this kind in so much greater
proportion than older folks, it was a de-
ight to all.

Working Under Difficulties.
The Dalles Lumbering Co., operating
fifteen miles up Mill creek, are pros
ecuting work under difficulties. They
are logging while there is yet three feet
of snow on the ground. Last night it
snowed all night, and there was an 8
inch fall of snow. In some of the can
yons there is snow from four to eight
feet deep. Regarding the report that
they were to furnish lumber for thirty
five cottages they say they would like to
see the bills for same, but as yet have
heard nothing of it. ,

Gold Mines on the Methow.
CVL. Richmond, whose home is in The
Dalles, Oregon, arrived in Spokane last
week from the Methow country, where
in company with Theodore Cartright,
avid Graham and son, he has spent
ght months. Starting from The Dalles
ast seasou they went up to the ' Methow
country and began prospecting and be
fore snow had fallen last fall they had
located 16 gold bearing claims on Gold
creek, a tributary of the Methow, which
flows into that stream about 20 miles
above its confluence with the Columbia.
Considerable prospecting along the veins
showed them to be continuous and a
test of the ore showed a value of $18.60
in gold and $1.50 in silver.
They also located 80 acres of placer
ground which prospected well from the
surface, but they have not yet Btruck
bedrock, although they have gone down
18 feet3 They expect, however, from
indications that it is not more than two
feet from the bottom of the prospect
hole. Abundant water and fine dump
ing ground is afforded and a saw mill
only a short distance away will provide
the lumber required. The owners will
begin the construction of flumes and
sluices very soon.
While prospecttng-on the north fork
of Gold creek, Mr. Richmond found a
ten oot vein of antimony, which he
traced for several hundred feet. The
ore carries a large percentage of anti
mony and Mr. Richmond is now in cor
rospondence with parties wh"o afe look
ing for such property.
Mr. r.ichmond thinks their Gold creek
quartz claims are equal to any of the
others and they do not care to sell, al
though they have had letters from sev
eral parties asking them to name a
price. A portion of the coming season
will be devoted to the quartz and placer
properties and a portion will be devoted
to prospecting the mountains between
Lake Chelan and the Methow, where
Mr. Richmond is confident they will
find some valuable gold bearing lodes.
Ore, which Mr. Richmond left in our
office, is from the Addaline mine and
came from near the surface of an eight
foot ledge. There are some 25 or 30 lo
cations in the Methow basin, several
placer properties and some valuable coal
land.
The snow-fall was very heavy there
his winter, being at one time five feet
n a level, but it is rapidly disappearing,
Mr. Richmond will go home to The
Dalles and will, return to the mines
about April 1st with horses and sup
plies.
It is hoped that the mail service will
be extended from Bridgeport to some
point on the Methow near the mouth of
Gold creek during the coming season,
for besides several miners there are a
large number of ranchers who have per
manently located in the valley. Grass
grows luxuriantly and pine timber
abounds. The soil is very productive.

THE JUNE EXHIBIT.
Floral Department of the Oregon State
Horticultural Society.
One of the most important features of
the work done by the Oregon State Hor
ticultural Society at its annual meeting
held in this city last January was the
forming of a floral adjunct.
This part of their work was quite as
eissential as any other branch, and
while pomology, etc., are practically
indespensible, yet this society could do
no more laudable work than that of pro
moting floriculture. True, we must rely
upon the former to supply our temporal
wants, yet there are elements in our,
nature that may be nourished by feast
ing our eyes on things of beauty, such
as appeal to our better feelings, serving
to elevate our lives to a higher moral
standard. These beautiful gifts of na
ture come to us as messengers of love,
peace, purity and rest.
Their commercial value also is of no
small consideration. Neither should we
lose tight of the fact that they would be
come one of the leading factors in pro
moting the growth and prosperity of our
ountry, as has been the case in Califor
nia, by furnishing an incentive to im
migration. So that any way we may
view this subject it proves itself well
worthy the prominence the horticultural
society is giving it, an exhibition in June.
The executive committee appointed by
President J. R. Cardwell to manage the
affairs of the department set vigorously
to work to put into execution plans for
a floral exhibit to be given in this city
the present season. In consideration of
the fact that the Oregon Pioneers hold
their reunion on the 15th of June, it has
been arranged to make the time of this
exhibit correspond with their dates,
continuing three days, from the 14th to
the 16th inclusive. They have prepared
a very liberal list of premiums which is
as follows :
The county making the best display of
cultivated flowers (Multnomah accepted)
1st premium, $50; 2nd $25.
Professional florist making the best
general display 1st, $25; 2nd $15.
Choicest collection of roses by ama-
tures. 1st, $10 ; 2nd $5.
Largest and finest assortment of pans-
ies by amateurs. lst4$10; .2nd $5.
For the largest pansy, $5.
Choicest sweet peas, (variety a con
sideration,) 1st, $10; 2nd, $5.
Finest display of potted plants 1st,
$10; 2nd, $5.
Largest and handsomest Rex begonia,
Native flora pressed, 1st, $15 ; 2nd $10.
Native flora fresh, 1st, $15; 2nd, $10.
Orchids 1st, $10; 2nd, $5.
The only consideration for entering an
exhibit is an annual membership, requir
ing a fee of 50 cents for ladies and one
dollar for gentlemen. The holder is en
titled to the privileges of any exhibit
in any part of the state during the
year. This exhibition is given in
the interest of every city, town
and village in the state. The purpose is
to reach all who love flowers. The state
is targe, and its f ora combines the wealth
of the valleys and prairies, the hills and
mountains, of all their nooks and inter
vals and as well the bloom found upon our
so called deserts and wastes. There are
few wastes in Oregon, none where flowers
cannot bloom. Therefore we appeal to
the women of Oregon, and men too, who
ever and wherever they may be, whether
on the beautiful prairies, the more beau
tiful hills or the sightly mountain sides!
to help us in our endeavor to bring more
beauty, fragrance and moral trust and
pure life into our homes by introducing
everywherethe culture of flowers.

Wamic, Or., March 20th, 1893,
Like the Athenians of old we have
nothing to do but to "hear and tell some
new thing." Still we have not been able
to bear the new thing this week.
Our literary society 'adjourned last
Friday evening to meet on the first Fri
day in September, next. The conclud
ing entertainment last Friday, was
splendid play, entitled "The Egyptian
Mummy," The characters were remark
ably well sustained, especially the mum
my. The troup received the most flat
tering congratulations from the enrapt
ured audience, and of the dramatist and
practical tragedians who did the training,
we would say "well done" etc.
Mr. William Mayfield is thinking of
building a residence in our town, in or
der to give his children better school
advantages.

Letter from Mr. mnd Mn. Coram,
We have received a letter from Mr. H.
and Mrs. C. E. Coram, Wapinitia,
announcing the death of their little girl,
May, nearly four years old, mention of
which was made in yesterday's Chron
icle. The letter shows that while the
parents are heart-broken, they are re
signed to the Divine will. . .
From the standpoint of poor human
ity, who can calculate only upon things
material, death seems to be a sad calam
ity, and when it takes a little one in the
springtime 'of life, standing just upon
its threshold; a wee prattler, uncon
scious alike of the joys and sorrows of
earthly existence, it seems unnatural.
Nothing can be said to assuage the pres
ent grief of the parents; like Rachel,
weeping for her children and would not
be comforted because they were not, the
image of their Jlittle one will recur to
them throughout the years to come;
but when finally, wearied with the sor
rows of earth, they themselves approach
the banks of the silent river, may they
be welcomed by a little bark from the
other side, driven by their child, now
the deathless spirit little May.

That is right. They know it to be su

preventive and cure for croup, and why
should they not insist upon having it.
