The intense longing to get into the
Clondyke now felt by many of those who
are starting will not be equaled until the
same parties are anguishing to get out
,A dispatch from Tacoma says that the
signals of the Mazamas from the summit
of Mt. Rauier, was seen at 9 :30 Tuesday
nieht. Thev could not be seen from
Portland.
It is said that Richard Lee, of Astoria,
will go to the Clondyke and etart a
newspaper. What any sane man wants
with a newspaper when there is gold in
the ground is a mystery.
The trial of Rudolph Smith, charged
with violating the law against fishwheels
running Sundays, is being held before
Justice Filloon this afternoon. The com
plaint was made by Fish Commissioner
Maguire.
Rev. N. J. Wright of Illinois will

August 1st, morning and evening. Mr.
Wright comes well recommended. He
has been attending the C. E. convention
at San Francisco.
Mr. Hugh Gourlay will leave for
Prineville Monday, where he wi'l take
charge of the Crook County Journal.
Mr. Gourlay is a clean, concise and
forceful writer, and will make the Jour
nal a first-class paper.
The July run of Balmon baa com
menced, and the catches at Astoria are
very large. In consequence the canner
ies are running up to their fullest capac
ity. The run will not react here till the
close season. The catch here is improv
ing but is yet far from good.
Professor Brown, of the Standard
University, who is with the Mazamas on
Mt. Ranier, list his way Monday while
climbing the mountain. Not returning
at night a party of six volunteers went
after him and by great good luck suc
ceeded in finding him. Had they not
done so he would undoubtedly have
perished in a snow storm that evening.
Eugene Hahn, the 9-year-old 6on of
Henry Hahn, manager for Wadhama &
Co. was killed in Portland Tuesday
night. He was riding in a bu gy with
his mother when the horse ran away.
The horse stumbled and fell, and the
bugpy was forced on to him. As he got
up he kicked, the boy in the breast
killing him almost instantly.
J. I. Taylor, who lives four miles
southeast of town, discovered a few days
ago on his place a stagnant pool of what
he supposed was water, says a Cottage
Grove correspondent of the .ugene
Guard. On the surface was a film or
scum, and when a match was lighted
and thrown upon it the wnole surface J
instantly ignited, burning much the
same as would a pool of kerosene.
Some one lost a dog this morning,
who ia probably not yet aware of it. The
gravel train pulling out about 11 o'clock
caught a big dog on the trestle across
Mill Treek, and as it passed, the
mangled remains of the animal dropped
to the ground. The owner may be
able to identify the remains, and anyone
missing a dog need not suspect Dr. Sid
dall or John Parrot of havfng swiped
him.
A letter received by J. F. Moore from
a friend in Prineville saya that at a
dance at Beaver Creek in Crook county
Horace Cadle got in an altercation with
another man, whose name is not given,
and that Cadle was slabbed in the head
with a knife, it sticking in the skull
Cadle fell, his head, or rather, the ban'
die of the knife striking against the
building in such a manner that it was
driven through the skull, killing him.
Will van Dyke, of Ashland, bad a
closer call to being bitten by a rattle
snake the other day than is often ex
perienced, He was baying on his piace
north of town and was gathering up a
small shock of hay in bis arms, when
he spied something following his hand
veiy closely, which proved to be a
rattler, that had been coiled up in the
haycock. The reptile struck at his
hand and grazed the little finger of bia
left hand, near the end, partially but
not entirely cutting through the skin.
The finger swelled considerabls, how
ever, and Mr. Van Dyke considers that
he came as near being bitten by arattle-
TO MOUNT HOOD AND BACK.
Wednesday at the Institute.
Lewis Porter and Will Crossen Make
the Trip Partly on Their Wheels.
Judd Fish and party arrived home
from Ctoud Cap last night, after a very
pleasant trip. Some of the party de
sired to make the ascent of the moun
tain, but as Will Langille, theguide, had
gone to the Clondyke. and bia brother
Doug bad not arrived to take his place,
the attempt was not made. Lewis Por
ter and Will Crossen went up to the
mountain the same day Jud(T8partydid
riding their bicycles, i Before reaching
therElt Bedsyfive xbTTea from the Inn,
the boys bad to dismount and push their
wheels, the grade being about 700 feet to
the mile. They reached the Inn at 1 :30
in the morning, but they stayed with
their wheels in order to enjoy the ride
down. On the way back yesterday the
boys started oot ahead, but Judd and
his Dartv Dassed them. Soon after this
Crossen's wheel collapsed, and Porter
took after Judd in order to eet him to
haul Crossen's wheel in to the settle
ments. He failed to catch him until he
had reached Gribbles' place, where the
party stopped for dinner, eight miles
from the place where Crossen's mishap
occurred. After two hours of patient
waitine the latter showed up with his
wheel on his back and thoroughly dia
guated because he had pushed the tbinu
up the mountains in order to carry it
down. He arrived in camp looking like
an advance agent of the returning Clon
dykera of the spring of 1898. Judd
hauled him and his wheel in aa far as
the forks of the road. a. mile and a half
from Hood River, when Crossen, saying'
he was in a hurry to get home, left them
and struck out to catch the Baker. His
cup of woe did not run over until Judd
met him at the wharf, and then, it is
feared that there were mild expressions
of something approaching profanity.
And yet both Porter and CrosBen insist
that they had a delightful trip.
