The fishermen generally do not an
ticipate a heavy run of salmon this year,
it being according to their notion an off
year, and next year being tho charmed
fourth, will be the big run. In 1890 and
1894 the runs were extremely beavv,
and '9S is expected to rival them. With
a Btrike on the lower river, the catch
here will, however, be better than that
of the average off year.

Eastern Oregon Will This Year Double
Her Output ot Gold.
The output of gold from the placer
claims of Eastern Oregon will this year
produce nearly double that of any sea
son for the past five years, says the
Baker City Republican.
The number of new claims that have
in a large and small way been opened
and rigged up in many gulches, and
through the placer fields, exceed many
fold that of any season for many years.
The water supply promises to be the
very best in the history of tho country.
There is more water stored in the snow
banks now than was ever before known
in the history of the country. Unless a
phenomenal thaw occurs in the epring
months the gravel mines will be enabled
to run through the summer and into the
cold, freezing weather of the fall mouths.
But little gravel bullion will find its way
to the bank counters until July, then
there will be a large regular output for
several months, exceeding the last few
years' records by many thousands of
dollars.

farm belonging to J. C. Meins, and the
injured woman was taken to Mr. Meins'
house here after tho accident. Mrs.

Cervantes, in that most delightful
creation Don Quixote, gives a very
I graphic, though somewhat pathetic, de
scription of that doughty knight-errant's
encounter with a windmill, which he
had mistaken for a giant. As that poor
gentleman's lance struck the fans the
wind caught and whirled them so
violently that the Don was unhorsed,
and poor Rosinante, sharing his mas
ter's misfortunes, was thrown into tho
ditch.
It htiB been our misfortune to dupli
cate that unfortunate adventure, but,
like the other "fellow," we learned our
mistake too late. So, we have kindly
"loaned our eyes and our ears" to tho
callow youth who invites ub to his li
brary under the name of "Consistency,"
and have done our best to "emerge from
the lofty pinnacle of our editorial great
ness" (by which we suppose our young
fiiend means that we should "come oil'
the perch") and have rea'd hih state
ments anent the sinfulness of dancing
with a gieat deal of pleasure, not un
mixed with profit. The pleasure con
sisted in being led along new paths, into
verdant fields of fresh-flowered litera
ture, and resting our tiled brain by fol
lowing the dreamy, though Eomewhat
salacious, fancy of our kind and youth
ful mentor. The profit was from sev
eral sources, the most prominent of
which was the amount of information
we were enabled to grasp from one who
appears to be thoroughly informed con
cerning the habits and private character
of that inuch-in evidence personage
known in polite society as Satan, but
whom our young Telemachus, with un
seemly familiarity, hails as the devil.
Now let us say to our young friend
ifor such we judge him to be) that there
in not a person on earth who has a
greater love for tho human race than
ourself. There is only one thing this
side of heaven that commands our ven
eration more than an honest, conscien
tious, truthful Christian boy, and thatj
is a pure, sweet girl, with heaven's own
light in her clear eyes, and soul as spot
lees as an angel's wing; one who can,
as she grows to womanhood, nestle up
against the bosom of the man she loves
as trustingly as n babe against its
mother's breast, and whoso very touch
goes to his soul and makes (he strings of
his heart vibrate in a harmony of thanks
giving to the good God for making such
an one; one whose feet kiss the earth
but to bless it; whose hands touch but
to glorify, and whose presence is a bene
diction, And thank God! many such
there be, Rather than knowingly put
a stumbling block or a pitfall before the
feet of such an one, we would choose tho
punishment of eternal solitude upon the
Stygian shore. And yet we believe in
dancing. We belieye that the young
men and the young women of these days
are good, not bad. We believe that
chivalry exists today, as in the olden
Concluded on fourth paye.
Wo have secured the services of an experienced
bicycle repairer from San Francisco, and aro hotter
prepared to do this class of work than we have evor
heen hefore. We will guarantee all hicyelo work
done by us to bo first-class, and satisfactory to our
patrons.
We havo on hand about 25 wheels, '00 patterns,
of different makes some now and some second
hand. To close them out, to make room for '97
wheels, we havo decided to oiler them for salo at
very low prices, many of them away holow cost.
This is your chance if rou are not particular as to
whether you ride a '90 or '97 wheel. They aro all
good wheels, and in good shape.
