WEDNESDAY PBBttUARY 18. 190? EVENING 0W5 THOUGHTS PRODUCED BY SEEING A SAILBOAT. Scene at Unalaska, Alaska Territory Tiny Sailboat in Harbor Glorified by Sunbeams. Standing by the side rail of the transport Lawton as she lies at nnchor at Unalaska, I look out toward the mouth of the harbor. The guant gTlm cliffs that guard the linrbor"s entrance, are lit up by the sun's part ing rays. Through a gap In the hill side slowly Tolls the enshrouding mist. The still waters of the harbor mirror the soft pink of the slow movinc clouds and with a transient clcam of beauty, reflect the glory of I the dying day. Now on mountain! side and snow-capped peak the sun light falls, and you behold under the deft touch of nature's alchemy the crown of snow transmuted to a gleaming crown of lustrous silver. The ever-changeful waters, trembling and translucent, gleam with tints of opalescent beauty, dull silver, pale green, ever-varying shades of blue and purple and, borrowing the splen dor of the evening clouds, tho sea re flects the sunset glow ,of pearl, and pink, and grey. Mountain peak and rock-strewn hill, green as emerald In their robes of summer verdure, de scend sharply to the water's edge, their feet laved by the ceaselessly murmuring waves. The harbor is a pale opal, set In emeralds; now through the narrow entrance to the harbor, between the rugged sentinels of rock, there comes a little boat,; whose tiny square of canvas shines j white and beautiful like the gleam of an angel'n wing entering through the Gate Beautiful. As I see the dingy little sail transfigured and glor ified the thought comes to me, what If, when comes the time when we shall cross the bar and see our pilot face to face, the dingy fabric of our lives shall In llko manner be trans figured and glorified. Our little round of duties done which seem to us of such little worth, the dingy fabric ot our lives which wo weave, so oft with clumsy nnd rebellious hands and eyes dim with unshed teBrs, shall prove but a fragment of n glorious and harmonious whole, which to our awakened eyes shall shine all glorious. Slowly tho sun set fades, sail and wave and snow capped peak lose their lustre and the night comes. F. U RACES CANNOT UNITE. Dr. Savage Would Have the Whites and Blacks Separated. New York. Feb. 18. Dr. Minot J. Savage, in the Unitarian church of tho Messiah Sunday, spoke on the race problem, which, he said, threat ens the. future of the republic. Slaver-, ho said, would have been con tinued to exist n the North as It did In the South hnd It been equally prof itable here. Dr. Savage continued: "Senator Tillman, whom I heard at a dinner Ia3t night, says that if so cial and political equality are allowed i the colored people. It means. In his judgment, a gradual mixing, mongrel- Izing and degrading of the entire people. "The black man Is not a white man with a colored skin. The great s' i-' ence of evolution tells us that there) are centuries, mlllenlums, of natural development between the position' which the white man occupies antii that occupied by the black. "I have never been in favor of the kind of suffrage which Is conferred upon people In this country, cither white or black. I would give the bal lot to persons who have character ard t intelligence enough to make good citl-i zens. But It Is too lato now for that ' The question is, what are we to do' now? and I say I don't know I would like to have the colored people scat-' tered over the country in groups. Ixitj them have control of small towns or cities, and let them learn self-gov i ernment with the example of our methods all around them." ' In an address upon "Abraham !.in- coin as a Christian," tho Rev, Dr . George P. Eckman, of St Paul's' Methodist Episcopal church, mado an appeal for contributions to the Freed-, men aid fund for the education and, elevation of the poor whites and ne groes of tho South. Dr. Eckman expressed himself ns bcllovlng New York to be not a Lit better than tho South In siding against the negro In what has como to be regarded as a question of rights. That Abraham Lincoln was a Chris tian, said Dr. Eckman. Is not to be answered by referring o his opinions an beliefs on creeds and partisan te liglous faiths, which he so freely criticised. Uncoln found only three of the 22 ministers of Springfield, 111.. teady to stand by him In tho advocacy of the abolition of slavery, and he refused to Join the church, not being nblo to understand this turning from the advocacy of freedom. He was Christian In spirit nnd purpose, be lieving in the love of God with nil his heart, his soul nnd mind. FAMOUS PITCHER DEAD.

WILL E FILL ALL ORDERS REGEIYED FOR STOCK OF THE 1 HIGHLAND GOLD MINES COMPANY j A SUM PTE R, OREGON, CORPORATION 2 The First Allotment of 100,000 Shares Will Be Placed on the Market on that Date to Be Disposed : g AT SIX (6) CENTS PER SHARE. IE TO TNVF.STOPS Having been Bucceesfull in financing the Friday Gold Mining Company, we now de sire to announce that we have been appointed financial agents for the HIGHLAND GOLD MINES COMPANY, a Sumpter, Oregon, corporation, which recently purchased and now owns the Knapp Group of Mines consisting of four claims, situated in tho Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon on the main divide between the headwaters of Cracker Creek and Hock Creek, about eight miles from the City of Sumpter, Baker County, Oregon. Colonel M. L. Lohmire, E. M.. of Baker City, Oregon, one of tho mo3t competent and conservative mining engineers In tho Northwest, after making a thorough examination of this group, speaking of the vein traversing the entire length of three claims. In his re port stated: "There are no faults or throws, or any dislocations along Its course, but it is a strong, continuous and well defined vein, showing in all the different tunnels, shafts and cuts to be well mineralized and distinctly defined. But few mines carry commercial values In gold and silver for so long a distance; In fact, I have seldom seen in my long yep.rs of mining experience, a vein so strong and persistent in carrying such fair values as this one for so long a distance along its course or strike. "In submitting this report for your favorable consideration, I would say that as a whole there are but few mining propositions that have for tho future better features, all In all, for developing into an A No. 1 Mine. The Bannock Burn Claim alone, will, without doubt develop into a great mine, for It has every feature for so doing strength of Assuring, width of same and the continuous strength of ore, and tho value from east to west which is shown by the openings on the vein and the throw of Its float from the apex. this one has always struck me as being one of the valuable ones." In placing this stock upon the market, we shall not attempt to make our showing o account of the adjoining properties, or to make you believe we have a big mine juBt because we happen to be on the same zone as the great North Pole, E & E, Columbia and Golconda on the west, and the Maxwell, Itobbins-Hlkhorn and Baisely-Elkhorn on tho east, but will simply let the Knapp Group of Claims show for itself. We ask you to visit the property, learn the facts for yourself; and if you are desir ous of making a fair investment, you may visit the property without cost to you; we will pay your expenses if the facts are not exactly as represented.
