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

but as the shipments reach their best, it
is probable lower prices will prevail.

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

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

his desire to get into the senate.

Sheriff Jackson of Tillamook county

e same shall be deemed vacant, and
he county court is given power to fill

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.

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

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.

A few days ago Charles H. 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. . Acting upon advice the
gentleman boxed the specimen and sent
it to the curator of the Washington uni
versity.
