The total sum, with the exception of $6, 205.47. has been expended for tbe relief of tbe sufferers. their companions brought into existence as a result of their efforts to get over the Rockies. The Applegates were the path finders, but Fremont, without a scruple cf conscience, gobbled the credit. Albany Argun: Half a dozen members of the Press clnb were discussing the peculiar ities of the English language the other evening, when Dr. F. E. Rice took the Argus to task for printing a paragraph which read as follows: "The fallowing is said to be tbe shortest sentence . in tbe English language containing all tbe '.letters of the alphabet: Mohn P. Brady gave me a black walnut box of quite small size '.The entire seutence contains leas than twice the number of lettera in the alphabet.' "TbaS s a good sentence of its kind," said the doc tor, "but I think if you will carefully study the sentence, 'Pack my box witb five dozen liquor jugs,' you will firf that it contains less letters than the sentence you published, and yet omits no letter in the alphabet."

At tbe clpse of the season it was generally under stood and given out that fi-hing on the Oregon side would cease j. jtb the close of tbe season and that tbe ever vigilant fish oornmissioners would promptly repress any attempt to snare the August talmon.

We are informed,' eays the Caldwell Tribune, that a town of tents is springing up like magic on tbe Snake river. across the stream from Parma, and ex tensive pieparations are being made to mine me snaKe river bars. Tbe com pletion of tbe Phyllis canal is what has given the move the impetus, and a small army of men are building flumes, setting up goiu saving machines, ana making otbei preparations to wrest the precious meiai irom tne grip ot the burning sand. Tbe importance oi this is not apparent at nrst inougiit, lor a person is sure to un derestimate the extent of this gold bear - ing field. If sufficient water can be carried through the canal to do the work. tne sand ban. ol the old Snake river will fairly swim with miners, and a regular old-fashioned placer mining excitement ensue. iDat the gold is there in paying quantities is a well established fact, but as no water could be obtained to work tbe rich bars they havo been allowed to keep their treasure. The advent of the Phyllis has overcome this drawback, and every inch ot water that can be obtained will be utilized. These mines are about 20 miles below Caldwell, and we will rean a ncn rewnra irom mem should tne vent ure prove the success it promises. There is no doubt but that it will be thoroughly tested at least, for enthusiastic men are eyen now spending time and money in tbe venture. published in twenty different papers it must go through this process from the medical commission down to the censor ship bureau for twenty different times. The name of tbe paper iu which it is to be publielied must be specially men tinned, and the wordiosr and size of tbe advertisement designated in tbe original application and approved by tbe various authorities. Iu order to do away with this laborious process, or at least with the repetition of it io the case of each publication, tbe medical couucil of the minister cf tbe interior proposes to have each BUthcotii-attd advertirmeot of this kind published :n tbe Pratitclstrcniu'a Viestntk ('he general official organ) of St. fctcrsbursr, and to allow all other papers to copy it verbatim et literatim from that paper without extra revision Of course tbe publication in the first, as in all tbe subsequent instances, must be made "at tne expense of tbe advertiser."

Before the days of la erippe wben tbe ladies of Prompeli were the belles of the day, posed as the professional beauties and for all we know bad tbeir photo graphs taken and got a percentage on them, well bred people did not cry in handkerchiefs.

I be tear col tie could be enclosed as practical proof, and the maiden fair would writ on the ' out side of the envelope in large letters "Glass please do not stamp too bard." These, indeed, were the days of romance, Undoub telly some very fetching young woman, who appreciated tbe impression made by a bottle of tears but didn't like gett: ng a red nose, had tbeir slaves do the weeping ior them, aod physically cut tured themselves by administering to the slaves a good sound whippini;, so tbat they miebt bave something to weep for, Aietxen Alvertlaea.

There was quite an exodus of the citizens of Goldendale on Wednesday morning to the new Eldorado northwest of Mt.

Arrangement are being made by which another party will start out next Monday. A-party has already started from The - Dalles - to the same locality. Mr. Baker of this city has also secured a flatter ing report, we understand, from ore whioh he sent off. There is scarcely any limit to the quantity of ore in sight precisely simi lar to that which produced $360 to the ton in Mr. Golden's claim, and.excellent pros pects are to be obtained on all sides. The beauty of it too is that it is only a short distance front tbe line surveyed by Hunt's engineers, and it ia confidently believed that this district will soon develop into as important a mining center as tint ot the famous Cceur d'Alene.
