PEASE & MAYS
Thia morning we bad the pleasure of
meeting Mr. George A. Ladd of Sparta,
who is on his way home from Portland.
Twentv-five years ago Mr. Ladd, with
bis father, owned and operated the. saw
mill at St. Helens. This property ; they
sold and moved to Eastern Oregon,
where for'a quarter of a century Georiie
has vyootd the fickle goddess of Fortune
by venturing into the. mining business.
He was at one time part owner of the
now famous Bonanza, has made and iost
money and has the everlasting faith of
yet striking it rich that sustains all true
miners.
It has beennearly twenty-five years
since we saw George, but be is the same
self-reliant, genial gentleman, whom
nothing can keep down. In those days,
at St. Helens, Tom McBride was wrest
ling with "Parsons on Contracts,"
"Greenleaf on Evidence," and that sort
of thing, while the present senator was
studying human nature and getting an
insight into politics. The Giltners were
also at St. Helens in those days, and as
we look at our own rotund form in the
mirror, we cannot but feel that St.
Helena produced some really great and
good men.
Mr. Ladd is engaged in quarta -mining
near Sparta, and has some proper
ties that will yet make him a bleated
capitalist. ,

IN the United States now enjoying food cooked in the MA
JESTIC affirm that the half has not been said in its
praise. The manufacturers of this Range pledge them
selves that all parts of the MAJESTIC except the firebox
and the new series Nos201 to 212, are made of steel and mal
leable iron, and purchasers are assured that it is as good and
as honest as Ekilled labor and money can produce. If the parts
now in malleable iron were (as in other so-called eteel ranges)
made of cast iron, the price con Id be ttreatly reduced ; but the
MAJ ESTIC is not made with u view to furnishing extra
parts for repairs.

The Pacific Gum Co. of Portland ad
vertises for six girls to chew gum at the
Portland fair.- We give the company
the benefit of this advertisement in
hopes that some of the Dalles girls will
be found ornamenting the front benches
in that chewing contest. It will require
a large month, developed muscles and
steady stroke to get away with the job,
and certainly The Dalles can furnish the
full supply, provided Cascade Locks
does not compete. There is one girl
down there that when she gives her
maxillae a twist the cows all sneak away
into the woods and drop their "cuds."
Hoppicking is nearly finished in the
Chehalis valley. It is impossible as -et
to determine what the crop ia likely to
be, suffice it to say that growers whose
yards were well sprayed and properly
cared for are all feeling very well satis
fied with the way their yards are turn
ing out, says the Chehalis Bee. Picking
will last another week in some of the
yards, and by that time it will be
possible to size up the crop pretty
closely. The splendid weather for the
last 10 days has been most favorable tor
harvesting crop, and loss from mould
I will not be nearly as bad as was feared.
In a few email yards where sprayingjwas
neglected there has been much heavier
losses. Growers are putting up a fine
sample as a rule.
The American society of the Professors
of Dancing, has decided that the waltz
must go.
Of course it must, everybody knows
that, and it will commence to go just
as soon as the thermometers get settled
down to business. The, beauty of the
waltz is that when it gets to going it
keeps whirling round and round, and it
is a continuous round of pleasure too.
The professors of dancing might as well
try to dam the Amazon with faint praise,
solve the mystery of Andrees' pigeons,
make truth true even at the bottom of
a well, or sort fact and fiction from a
fall crop of Klondike stories. Ye9, the
waltz muwt go, and when it does most of
us will be anxious enough to detain it,
that we will all attempt to trip it.
