A strong weBt wind has prevailed all
day, but as it keeps the temperature
down there is no kick coming.
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. Now is
the time to send in your names.

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.

The afternoon work began with a gen

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 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 young gentleman with a specula

Alaska squaw can carry 200 ponnds on
her back, from tide water across the
portage to the head of Lewis river, mak
ing the round trip, 62 miles, in a a week
lie tninKs a good looking white man
might be able to marry a herd of ten of
them. 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.

MAIER& BENTON'S

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.".
