Random Observations and Local Brents of Lesser Magnitude. Baker county produced more gold last year than the Klondike, and there was no rush either. "Far fetched and dear bought pleases the ladies," also the miners. The Klondike craze caused J. H. Jackson, sheriff of Tillamook county, to resign bis office. Surely there must be something "powerful fetching" In that disease. The fruit shipments are increasing steadily, prunes being the staple just now. Prices have kept up pretty well, but as the shipments reach their best, it is probable lower prices will prevail. The duel between Prince Henry and the Italian count bad some amusing features. The dispatches state that the 'swords used had been rubbed with an anti-septic solution, so that if either got scratched there would be no danger St. Mary's Academy for young ladies and St. Joseph's school for boys, opens August 30th for the fall term.

" For fonr weeks, the name of Joe Er bart ornamented the board at the Uma tilla bouse bowling alleys, as being the holder of the highest score, 61. Satur day his name came down and that of II. Maetz took its place, he having raised Earhart'a score one point, and the rec ord is now 62. A dispatch from Tacoma says the Klondike rush is abating, and that in quires for tickets is falling off. And yet, in spite of the reports that not 20 per cent of those now at Dyea and Skaguay will get across the mountains this win ter, hundreds are still going, and others will continue to go as long as the steam en rup. , ,. . . ; -:; .: -: -. . The Paget Sound University Clef Club will give a music and literary en tertainment, under the auspices of the Epwortb League, in the M. E. church on Wednesday evening, September 1st. Miss Harriet E. Caugbran, instructor in elocution and oratory of the university, will give humorous, dramatic and pa thetic readings. Washington politicians are stirred up over the recent Bale of the Seattle Post Intelligencer, each wondering who the purchaser is and what course the paper will pursue. The Ledger says it can set all doubts at rest, and that Levi An keny of Walla Walla has bought the paper, and intends to use it to further his desire to get into the senate. The weather was unreasonably hot yesterday, but it was what the bop growers the other side of the mountains wanted, as it killed the pests that infest their vines. As it very accommodating ly held off until the wheat was all ma tured, there is no kick coming. We have the crops and we have the prices, and by jingo we will have the mone; too. Today the score at the Umatilla House bowling alley was again broken. H. Maetz held the record until this morn ing, with 62. but Mr. C. Porter put it 3 points higher and now holds the cham pionship with 65. The score tor last week was : Monday, Everding, 49 : Tuesday, Blew, 53; Wednesday, Maetz, 56; Thursday, Throup, 49; Friday, Maetz, 62, and Saturday, Champlin, 46. Around the paper mill in .LebartmrTs the busiest place in all of Linn county just at this time. 1 here are sixty men at work on the big straw stack, and over 100 wagon loads of straw, that will average over 4000 pounds per load, are unloaded every day. The paper mill is certainly a great thing for Lebanon, and pays out many thousands of dollars each year to the laboring men of that place. Sheriff Jackson of Tillamook county did not hand in his resignation upon leaving for the Klondike, but left the matter for the county court to adjust. The law provides that when an officer shall remove from the state, coflnty or istrict in which his officfa is situated. e same shall be deemed vacant, and he county court is given power to fill he vacancy in the sheriff's office when ne occurs. A story reached Cbehalis from Cen tralia last week to the effect that Editor Gavitt, of the Centralia News, had found a fabulously rich gold mine near that town. Commissioner Degeller told the Nugget last week that Gavitt bad shown him 'a sample of free milling ore containing gold in flakes and layers, and asserting that he found the mineral a few miles from Centralia. It was re ported that George Rhodes make an assay of the stuff, which showed that it would yield $60,000 to the ton. For the Tournament. As It Is At Dyea. Mr. George L. Fish, a prominent gro cer of Oakland, California, who returned on the steamer Elder from Dyea, gives a very plain and concise statement of con ditions there. Among other things, he says : "You can form a faint idea of the ex tent of the present freight blockade up there when I tell you that when we left there were strewn along the beach, on the rocks, and in the two camps of Skag uay and Dyea, not lees than between 4000 and 5000 tons of outfits and mer chandise, all waiting transportation to the Yukon. As a result of this, there is no doubt that fully 80 per cent of the people now at the pass will be compelled to remain there nntil spring. From now on the weather will be rainy and nntil the river and ground freeze the roads, by reason of mud, will be almost impas- able. All this has discouraged a great any would-be-gold-hunters, in conse uence of which outfits in abundance at yea can be purchased today from 30 to i0 cents on the dollar. When 1 was re flour was being offered at 50 to 75 nts a sack, beans as low as 75 cents a sack, and bacon went begging at from 8 to 10 cents a pound. These are offered y people eager to get rid of the surplus oode. in order to avoid the heavy tax of transportation, which is beyond their limited means. This slaughter of ex pensive outfits is the result of some of the following exorbitant charges : First, it costs $5 a ton to land the goods at either Dyea or Skaguay from the rocks where left by the steamers : from the shore to the mainland another $5 a ton is taxed ; from the settlement of either Dyea or Skaguay to the head of naviga tion on the Dyea or Skaguay creeks an other levy of from $6 to $10 a ton, and over the Dyea pass, the grand hold-up when I was there, was $400 a ton. with the White pass not yet ready for busi- agreeably as the average married cou ple.

When John Allen of Willow creek re turned to his home from a trip to the timber last Wednesday, he found a note in his wife's handwriting saying that although she had nothing particular against liira, she had made up her mind to have a change and had left him for good, adding that she had taken the boy along (the youngest in a family of three) and would raise him for his father and send him back when he grew up to be of any help. Mr. Allen discovered later that the fellow with whom Mrs. Allen eloped is a freighter named Chamberlin, but from whence he came is not known at this writing. It is known, however, that the elopers started northward tow ard The Dalles, and at last accounts the injured husband was following their trail with blood in bis eye and a big Smith & Wesson in convenient reach of the hand he shoots with. .Parties knowing Mrs. Allen are great ly surprised at her elopement. She was generally known as a kind, good-hearted woman, if somewhat rough in manner, and it was the common opinion that she and her husband got along together as She seemed to be troubled. "If I marry you," she said at last, "do yon think you could dress me? Papa says he is sure yon couldn't begin to do it." "Why, I I don't just know," he an swered hesitatinglv. "If you wished I would be perfectly willing to try, you know, but er er wouldn't you prefer a maid?" Chicago Post. Tired Tim Where's the coat I seed on yer yesterday, Waggles?

Bryant of Copalis, Chehalis county, picked up a remarkable-looking fish at the mouth of the Copalis river. It was about the size of a porgy, had enormous pectoral fins, but in place of the back fins were well developed hind legs. The mouth was beak-like, and there was a flexible horn, toothed at the end, and fitting down into a socket in the bead, and at the commencement of the first dorsal fin was . a born. .
