Mr. Fen Batty will not go to the Clon
dyke, at least until next spring. Not
that he has changed bis mind, but
simply because he could not get passage
on the Elder, and he very sensibly de
clines to start a week or two later.
There are quite a number of our people
who will go in the spring unless reports
at that time are discouraging.
We know nothing about the merits

which he sings of, one would think he
would go gunning with a cannon for his

The Bonanza mine in the Greenhorn
district, 50 miles west of Baker City, was
sold Saturday for $750,000. Two years
ago it could have been bought for $100,
000, and five years ago its owners offered
it to the storekeepers of Baker City for
their indebtedness, about $30,000. The
mine has $3,000,000 worth of ore in sight,
and why its owners parted with it, is a
mystery.
A feat in upper river navigation hith
erto unaccomplished, was the trip of
the Gypsy, from Corvallis up to the
Wilhelm warehouse, Monroe, says the
Corvallis Times. This is said to be the
latest in the season that a boat ever
passed up the river so far. It was made
possible by the late work of the Matb-
Mooday's Work at the Institute.

bags of wool and 125 barrels of flour.
The reports from Skamania county's
mines aie not flattering. There seems
to be from all accounts considerable
bodies of ore, but it does not appear to
carry much precious metal. Every re
port tbat we have beard expresses the
opinion that ores are to get richer as the
depth 19 reached, but this is an open
question. Ore is just as likely to turn
poorer as to get richer, and if there is no
pay in the top the chances are against
the mines being a success. The Cascade
range ia a hard lot anyhow, difficult to
prospect, spotted and disappointing.
The contractors for the government

- Bicycle accidents on Belmont are con
stant, and some of them are amusing
beyond description. Edward Hanson,
who lives at East Twenty-Eighth, relates
an amusing accident which oecurred the
other evening. He has some cows, and
he sent a boy across Belmont street with
one. Tne animal walked rather slowly
in spite of the efforts of the boy, who
saw a scorcher bearing down on her a
short distance east. The rider had hi
bead down and was riding at the rate of
about 10 miles an hour. When within a
yard or so of the cow he raised his head
and saw her, but it was then too late to
stop or turn to one side, and he dashed
against the side of the animal. The
shock nearly knocked the cow down, but
the rider went on the cow's back and the
wheel under. The animal gave a bellow
and with a wild pluoge lifted the scorch
er Oif her back and dashed across the
street, while the wheelman picked him
self op somewhat dazed, but not moch
hurt. His wheel was somewhat dam
aged. Telegram.
A Distinguished Visitor From Michigan.
Rev. C. H. Maxson, pastor of the

and interesting sermon to a highly ap
preciative congregation. Mr. Taylor in-

troduced the speaker" in a few appro
priate words, making touching reference
to the generous kindness which Mr.Max
sqn had extended towards him at a time
when almost a. stranger and in trouble
in Mr. Maxson's city, be needed sub
stantial sympathy and help. Mr. Max
son tpok for his text the last clause of
the 32d verse of the 11th chapter of Gen
esis, "And Terah died in Haran ;" and
from the incident of the patriarch's
death while he tarried in Haran, without
ever seeing the land of Canaan towards
which he had at one time directed his
steps, the speaker drew some impressive
analogies of the numerous earthly ob
jects that binder or retard or turn aside
mon from the path that leads to the
Heavenly Canaan and to God.
Mr. Maxson is a .young man of very
pronounced ability, and his sermon was
regarded as a great treat by those who
had the pleasure of hearing him. The
gentleman was taking a short summer
vacation, and left here Monday morning
for a trip to the Yellowstone National
Park.
