Weather Observer Pague is exactly
wrong in his weather predictions so per
sistently since his return from Washing
ton, that we fancy his guesser must have
slipped a cog. The weather prediction
for today was "cooler,'.' . and . it's . the
warmest day we have had since the
middle of August.
A son of John Rogers of Five Mile
v aged about ten years has been stopping
with Joe Berger and going to echool.
Last night the boy changed his clothes
in order to do his chores, and since that
time nothing has been seen or heard of
him. It was at first thought that he
might have gone home, but word was
sent out this morning and it was found
he had not been there.
Dr. O. D. Doane brought with him
from New . Orleans samples of cotton
in all styles of . development from the
forming bud to the full blown boll. He
had some in bloom when he started but
these of course would not keep. He also
brought some fine joints of sugar cane,
persimmons, and chestnuts, all of which
are of course decided curiosities in "this
PEASE
neighborhood.' We cant raise any cot
ton but the late democratic party is a
decided success at raising cane. Wheat
and apples and an olla podrida governor
are our most prominent crops.

The Man for the Place.
In speaking of the probable appoint
ment to the position of adjutant general
of the state when Governor Lord takes
his seat, the Telegram makes a brief but
very favorable mention of Captain John
W. Lewis, of this city, for the place. It
will probably be quite a long time before
the change' is made in the office, but
when it is, no better selection could be
made than the gentleman named. Cap
tain Lewis not only had experience in
the war, but was an officer in the regular
army for several years after. He is
thoroughly conversant with military
matters, and would bring to the office, a
mind not only stored up with knowledge
appertaining to them, . but a ripe exper
ience gained on the frontier and a full
understanding of the management of
both men and conditions. Without
wishing to detract anything from the
merits of other candidates, we are frank
to state that the selection of Captain
Lewis for the place would; be the best
that could be made V
Important Land Decision.
We have made arrangements with W.
D. Harlan one of the leading land attor
prneys of Washington city, to furnish us
the substance of the decision made by
the department concerning government
lands. He sends us the following im
portant decision today : "The good
faith of a settlers claim is not impeached
by absence from the land to earn money
for support of settlers' family and to
purchase the land Asst Sec. Simms.

he traded for a few weeks since, end
now we miss Johnie's smiling visage in
his daily rounds.
The firm of Oaks & Son is conspic
uously advertised in bold relief over the
entrance door to his store. We know
Mr. Oaks would be very proud of a
brand new son, but we did not imagine
he would give vent to his joy at one
grand bound. The son was born- Sept,
the 24th weighing 10 pounds, and
Tuesday morning, certainly before the
sun was up, Mr. Oaks acknowledged the
firm connections by placing above tbe
door the firm name Oaks & Son in such
large letters it can be seen almost as far
as the building. But he is excnsable.
Mr. Pust is now a resident of town.
In his family there are four small chil

School begun Monday September 24th
with O. S. Maxwell as teacher.
We have had a much needed improve
ment in the way of sidewalks being laid
from upper to lower .town, and across
the creek. Now it will be a pleasure to
take a leisurely walk to the lower town,
where before it was a real task.
The son of Mr. Bricher of Pine Hol

Herrick was called to make repairs and

Charley. - Nelson while threshing
got a finger caught in the cogs of the
thresher and tore it almost off. It was
a serious. hurt . but is doing very well.
Also Clay Ames was so unfortunate as
to get a finger entirely crushed off in the
same way.
The Woods thresher from John Day,

Johny Loyd was telling me that there
was a frost one night last week on his
place, about three miles below here,
sufficient to blacken the topmoet leaves
of tender plants. '
Mr. Melverhill and son of Summit
Prairie, have been hauling barn lumber
the past week, for O. S. Boardman. ,
: Mr. Ayrs, who-lives near -here,- with
his family and Miss Stella Board
man have started for a trip through the
mountains to Albany and Eugene. We
wish them a pleasant trip, but the
prospects are at present, that they will
have a wet time.
News came to me yesterday of the
discovery of a quartz ledge some place
near Spanish Gulch, twenty miles east
of here. The quartz is a dark green and
gray mixed... The. piece I saw was plen
tifully sprinkled with . the precious
metal. In hopes the find is a rich one,
I will give my information as I received
it : ',. W, H. Butler of Nansene, Wasco
county Oregon, came to Spanish Gulch
the 15th of last May, on his way to
Baker City. He stopped at ' the Gulch
to investigate the mining prospects of
that section as a mining expert.
After prospecting a few days he was
satisfied he had struck it rich and
named the mine "Copper King." In
order to prove his statements he has in
bis possession some of the gold in its
free state which he cleaned from the
rock after he had crushed it. It is
coarse and heavy. Some of the grains
are as large as wheat grains. His esti
mate of free .gold to the ton was $155,
from rock taken from the surface, and
from rock twelve feet below the surface
was $2500. Mr. Butler passed through
