Harvest has began, and returns from the fields indicate that the yield is going to be greater even than was anticipated. The examination of Budd Bobbins charged with larceny by bailee, was yesterday continued until next Tuesday, in order to allow bim to get his wit nesses. And still the Christian Endeavorers come and go. Seeing, as we do, but the ragged edges of the crowd, it seems as though all the East must have been in San Francisco. The examination of Frank Heater is being held before City Recorder Sinnott. Heater is accused of stealing a horse. The case will probably occupy the day tomorrow, or at least until noon. By existing arrangements with the publishers of the Weekly Oregonian, we are enabled to club that excellent paper with the Twice-a-Week Chronicle at the low rate ot $2.25 per year.

We suggest in all earnestness, and not in a spirit of levity, that the Portland Mining Exchange broaden its views and also take Alaska and the Clondyke un der its protecting wings. With that body looking after Alaska's interests, the possibility of hundreds of millions being taken oat in a year or two would become an assured fact. In the interests of all the people let the exchange include Alaska in its list. INSULTED THE MELON. Georgia Melon Wrapped With .Rib bons for tbe President. Institate Work. The work at the institute yesterday was as follows : Literature Biography of Wbittier. Grammar Case of nouns. Composition Precision in the use of words. Physiology Respiration and the voice. Arithmetic Cup and cover problems. Book-keeping Closing of tbe ledger. Spelling Diacritical marking. Geography Danish America and Can ada. General History Review of Middle Ages. ' Writing Capital stem letters. The afternoon work began with a gen eral discussion on the recitation as treated by J. M. Patrick. Theory Principles of teaching, Physical Geography Cyclones and weather observations. U. S. History Events of 1775 and 1776. Algebra Problems forming simple equations. Mrs. J. S. Fish of The Dalles and Miss Devin, a teacher from Los. Angeles, Calif., were visitors at the afternoon session. Miss Ella Mason, a student from the Pacific University, is visiting the institute todav. The president has received as a pres ent an immense watermelon.. It was grown in Georgia, and measured two and a half feet long and six feet in cir cumference. When presented it was packed in a golden Hamper, wrapped in an American flag and entwined with white silk ribbon. The flummery sur rounding that melon shows that there' are yet those who would paint tbe lily and add fresh perfume to the violet ; some who believe that the external adornment might add to the beauty of a watermelon. A melon unadorned is e'en adorned tbe most. Its external shell is but Nature's emerald that en closes the pink coral and the rubied lus- ciousness within. It was Nature's mas terpiece, the boys' present delight, tbe old folks reminder of moonlight nights in some other fellow's patch. It is the eleven temptations of a "Nigger," chick en making the 12th. It is Nature's bar room with all the drinks combined into one divine mixture, and is all together lovely. Silk flags and ribbons have no place about it, its only adjunct being a butcherknife, at whose touch its rotund abdomen pops open like a locust's shell, and with a noise like an expanding side walk on a cold night. That's what a melon needs, and that's all it needs. A Speculative Youth. stea crye i n 30th ere, r to sail from eorge W. Elder, neau, Sitka and . For informa- apply at the O. route.

The farmers of Sherman countv are getting ready to harvest the largest crop ever known in the history of this county.

The big crop and fair price is now before us. Moro Observer. Some youug calf boys, or would-be cowboys of the lurid literature style, rode through town this morning on the hurricane deck of a cayuse.

These would pack a ton a week, and would earn in the aggregate $800 week, or in round numbers $3000 month. As their lord and master he could and would pocket the earnings and clean up $20,000 during the season, without going any further than Cbilcat. There is one element he has left oat of his calculations, and that is he never saw a Yukon squaw. Fire Department Election.

MAIER& BENTON'S 107 Second Street. mitted, however, that he had been sent into the Olympics by Portland parties, and that the result of his trip would rep resent perhaps millions of dollars to those interested. He said that he was unequivocally of the opinion, and that the same was based on a thorough examination of several specimens of rock, the assays from the croppings of his many years of experience as a miner, that the Olym pic mountains are possessed of a vast body of wealth, not one-hundredth part of which could vet be fairly approxi mated, because of the great difficulty of thoroughly prospecting the mountains. When asked if it were true that one of the specimens that he had found as sayed $18,000 to the ton, he seemed to think lightly of such a big result, and modestly intimated that there was no good reason why ore could not be found in the Olympics that would show up at $75,000. A. Cool Little Heart. Olympic's Riches. John Alexander is the name given by a man who came into ort lowoend from the Olympic mountaine, bringing with him several samples of ore, which, it is claimed, will pay away up in the thousands of dollars. Mr. Alexander bad been in tbe inter ior of tbe Olympic mountains for sev eral weeks, having once in that time gone to Tacoma for a few days, where he had a test made of ore cropping that he brought with him, the result of Mb prospecting in the Olympic range. One of these tests, says the Port Townsend Leader, showed gold to the value of $18.-' 555 to the ton, and many of the other specimens subjected to the test showed up from $50 to $1500 to the ton, the low est specimen representing a wealth of $28.70. It is said that Mr Alexander was sent into the Olympics by a mining syndicate of Portland, which is desirous of secur ing a number of claims with the view of commencing development work in the near luture. it is claimed that Mr. Alexander has found substantial wealth at a point somewhere near, the bead of the Big Qailcene river, represented in ledges of such proportions that his re port to the Portland syndicate will be so thoroughly convincing that the sinking of shafts, tunfcels and cross-tunnels on this property ,will be but a matter of a few weeks at the farthest. Mr. Alexander is said to have been in great haste to catch the steamer. Lydia Thompson for Seattle, being desirous of reaching Portland without delay. - When seen he was very reticent about tbe rich strike that he had made. He partly ad- Philip Hammond, tbe 6-year-old sou of George V. Hammond of Tacoma, fell into, an open cistern half full of water last week. His 9-year-old sister, June, tbe only other person nearer than two blocks, called to her brother to keep kicking, and close his mouth and that she would get him cut. She got a small ladder, dragged it to the cistern, and let it down carefully. Meanwhile the little fellow had been kicking and keeping his mouth shut. ' The ladder proved too short 'to reach the struggling boy, but June lay down firmly on the ground, holding the top of the ladder even with the month of the cistern. Philip could just grasp it, and Jane, telling bim to climb up, held on with a tenacious grip nntil tbe lad had clambered out, badly frightened, but none tbe worse for his wetting. The weight of the boy greatly strained tbe little girl's arms, but, after a brief rest, both she and the boy were as well and playful as ever. The first thing Jnne said after Phillip had es caped from the cistern was: "Don't tell mamma; she would faint.". Advertised Letters.
