A LETTER FKOM
DAWSON CITY
THE
INCIDENTS OF A TRIP TO
THE GOLD FIELDS.
Contents or a Letter Written Ky a Was
co County Boy to His Father,
at Dufur.
A few days ago Mr. Heisler, of Dufur,
received a letter from his son, Jeff, dated
at Dawson City, which contained some
interesting information. It runs as fol
lows;
"Dawson City, June 22,
"D-eab Father :
Well, at last we are here, after eo long
a time. Our trip down the river was
..fine: he had no trouble at all. But
'there were many accidents; lots of men
' lost their outfits ; boats were dashed on
' rocks and smashed all to pieces. Many
i lives were lost along the river. We shot
1 the White horse rapids all right. We
:took nothing out of our boat. When we
'came to the canyon we first made a care
fal inspection and then we started and
got through all right.
We are going out tomorrow and look
over the mines. There was an immense
-umoant of gold taken out last winter.
They say there are twenty tons of gold
dast going out on the steamer tomorrow
and a great many men are selling their
oat fits so they can go down on this boat.
They come into towu, look around, say
the country is no good, and then sell out
for what ever they can get and go back
five hundred boats have gone down the
river. They go as far as St. Michaels,
and there take the steamer for home.
This is a tent town tents everywhere
;you look. There are about ten thousand
yeopie in town and about that many
tnore up at the mines. There are men
walking the streets who do not know
what they came up here for. They
etand around and lood at. the hill Bide
to pee if -they can see any nuggets stick
ing oat.
There are three eawmills here and
logs are worth fifty dollars a thousand
feet, but you have to give the govern-
nent a big share of the profit ; the same
way with the miners. The government
eems to want all of it. You can take
only one claim and when you have
worked that yon must move on.so many
are gotng down to Circle City. If we do
mot find anything here that suits us we
will go there, too."
The run of salmon continues light on
upper river, so mat tne canneries
are laying idle most of the time. Un
less an exceptionally heavy run4 of fieh
comes during the next ten davs the
owners of canneries as well as the
fishet men will loose money during the
latter part of the season. Taking the
eeason throughout it has not been as
iprofi table as previous ones, although we
a-e safe in saying that noone lost money
. L . I f ...
11 me usu Business mis season.
Shortly after breakfast at Fort Walla
Walla Thursday morning 42 men of
troop A were taken ill with violent pains
ia the stomach and nausea. The afflict
ed oien were ordered sent to the hos
pital, but on the way many dropped to
the' ground and lay groaning in agony
until medical assistance from the city
arrived. The plot of ground between
the quarters and the hospital was cov
ered with prostrate bluecoata for a quar
ter of an hour and resembled a battle
field. That evening all had recovered,
except five men, who are in a cerionB
condition. . Neither the doctors nor the
soldiers are able to give a cause for the
sicknees. The doctors pronounce it
cholera morbus. The-food has been
examined and tested and found all right.
Some think the water has been tamp
ered with. One of the symptoms was
internal burning, and the men before
the arrival of the physicians drank large
quantities of ice water to get relief, but
without avail. ' '
The great council, Improved Order of
Red Men, concluded its labors Thurs
day, and adjourned until the "twenty
seventh sun, buck moon, G. 8. P., 408,"
when it will meet in Pendleton. A great
deal of business was transacted on the
last day of the meeting. Tho morning
was occupied by the consideration of re
ports of the various committees and the
decisions of the great sacheua. Reports
of the mileage and per diem committees
were adopted and then a recees was
taken until 1 p. in. In the afternoon, a
resolution authorizing the printing of
250 copies of the great council's proceed
ings, was adopted. The selection of the
place for holding the next council was
brought up, and Oregon City and Pen
dleton were mentioned. The latter wes
choaen by a large majority.

two Spanish transports have left Man
tinique and are expected here tomorrow.
Iu addition, three Spanish transports

there are about 750 women and children.
The telegraph operator at Manzanillo
has notified the authorities here that

to permit the delivery of messages sent
by these officers to their families, but
later, under protest from General Khaf
ter. the captain-general allowed rues
sages to be delivered, and a schooncu
will be sent to bring their families to
this port.
ENGLISH COAST
STORM SWEFT
Considerable Loss of Property and
Several Fatalities Reported.
London, July 29. The northeast coast
of this country has been swept by a
gr?at storm. Fishing fleets have bad
narrow escapes, being obliged to relin
quish all their gear and nets and run to
the harbor for shelter, where many
other vessels were ' compelled to' seek
refuge. North-bound trains have been
delayed by the force of tlie wind, which
has caused considerable damage inland,
crops having been flattened. There
were some minor fatal wrecks in the
North sea.
Forest Fires Around Tacoina.
Tacoma, July 29. A large section of
the city is covered with smoke from
burning woods in the southern suburbs.
The brush is very dry and covers a
large area. The firemen have been
fighting the flames forty-eight hours.
Several small houses have been burned.
No valuable property is in danger,
though the fire is approaching-a maga
zine where a large quantity of powder is
stored. .
Of Coarse You Are tiolne to Portland

The popular excursion to Portland

the eeason. The fare has been placed
at the exceedingly low price of $2 for the

A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject
ia narrated by him as follows : I was in
a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, uo appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying 'Electric Bitters,' and to
my great joy and surprise, the first bot
tle made a decided improvement con
tinued their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my lite and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them

years 1 have been almost a constant suf

tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at thi9
