When they were invited out to lunch
each little girl found a pretty candy cane

lunch was greatly enjoyed, and the
dainty decoration of the table was at

on. Shortly after dinner today Mike Bren
nan, one of the men engaged in the
construction work on the new bridge,
fell from the plank on which he was
standing to the ground below, a distance
of about twenty feet, and broke his
ankle. Drs. Logan and Doane reduced
the fracture, and he is resting easy.

Willard Vanderpool of Dufur is In the
city today greeting old friends and at
tending to business matters. He Btates
that word has been received from Jeff
Heisler of Beaver creek, who recently
left for Klondike. Mr. Heisler wrote
from Sheep Camp, and spoke very en
couragingly. He says that so far on his
journey the cold has not been severe,
and that he has hopes of reaching his
destination without any seriouB trouble.

many more will follow. Tonight his
subject for discourse will be "The Di

A cordial invitation is extended to all to

Archie Moad and Billy Walker, two
young men of the Dufur vicinity, left
thiB morning for Klondike. They will
go to Dyea and then make their way as
beBt they can across to Dawson. r"They
go provided with sufficient provisions
and depend on getting means of trans

will probably be the most difficult thing
about the journey. Tue Chronicle
wishes the young men all kinds of good
luck, and hopes they will return with
gold enough to satisfy their most san

COTTON FOR OREGON.
A Crop Will Probably be Tried lu Kant
em OreRou.
Yesterday's Oregonian says :
"Oregon will raise cotton next year,
Its cotton crop will probably not 'bear'
the market tho first season, but there is
no telling what effect Oregon cotton may
have on the industrial conditions of the
future.
"Cootton is cuccesefully grown in the
panhandle country k Texas), at altitudes
ranging from 1000 to 1500 feet above the
sea, where frosts occur from tho last of
October to the middle of April. In some
Darts of Eastern Oreiron frosts have been
absent the entire year. Portions of
jUmatilla county are especially favored
in this refpect. Tho experiment with
cotton will be made in the arid and
semiarid sections of Eastern Oregon and
Eastern Washington in Wasco, Sher
man, Moro and Umatilla counties, of
Oregon, and Whitman and Adams
counties, of Washington.
A considerable colony of Cubans in
Floriday are negotiating to come out to
tho Pacific Northwest to raise and man
ufacture tobacco, and the parts of Ore
gon and Washington lying eapt of the
Cascade mountains are believed to pos
sess the conditions suited to the busi
ness. The destruction of the trade in
Cuba has turned the attention of these
people to other fields of operation, and
they have sent agents to look the mat
ter up. Martinez, tho great cigar man
of Key West, examiued the country
recently, and he did not doubt that to
bacco of a superior quality could be pro
duced in the vicinity of Blalock, in Gil
liam ceunty.
The mechanical devices of a Boise
man for raising water from streams for
irrigating purposes will also be thor
oughly tested. It consists of a cylinder,
on the outside of which tire buckets
that fold automatically, and tho con
trivance is said to work well in a current
so slow even as two miles an hour.

San Francisco, Jan. 3. A special to
the Chronicle from PortTownsend says:
There was over $1,000,0000 in gold
dust and nuggets on the steamer Coro
na which has arrived from Alaska. The
treasure on the steamer was carefully
guarded on the way down by two watch
men on day and night shifts. Some of
the noggets average as high as fifteen
ounces. A man named Davidson, of
Cripple Creek, Col., had a nugget that
weighed tiftteen and one-half ounces.
One of the drawers in Captain Carroll'a
room was packed with nuggets of all
sizes. Your correspondent had the
pleasure of witnessing this wealth,
through the kindness of Captain Car
roll. In addition to this amount there
was considerable more tied up in Backs
among the returning Klondikers. From
a careful estimate it is safe to say that
m drafts and dust there was about $1,
200,000 in wealth on board tho Corona.
