Eiisun is inventing an eleotrio camera
that will be the wonder of the age, accord
ing to a letter received bv a Port 'and man
f om tbr great wizard. The electric camera
will photograph' action without the agency
of solar light, and with the rapidity of elec
tric flashes. E lUoa claims for it the power
of producing the circulation and every
movement of all the organs in the human
tem, together with their physical condi
tion, thus erabling doctors to diagnose dis
ease by the plates, without the risk of mak
ing mistakes. By this invention, Edison
says, human 'lie may be materially pro
longed, and humanity's miry from phyai
cal ailments reined to.the minimum.

There are all aorta of rnmors today about

The Foot' creek placer fields, the largest

and Swacker A Sob are running day and

seven months. Besides these mine, quite
a number of gulches, heretofore not having
much water are bring gronnd-slniced by
ranchers. The season's gold ouUrnt on
Foot's creek this year will probably be
doubled and reach over $100,000.
The obatinctiors.on the railroad track
first happened west of Bonneville, and con
sisted of a culvert washing out. Afterwards
a slide occurred near Moier, which wa

Salmon. ,
Fishermen in this vicinity are prepar
ing their wheelsfor the spring run of
Sainton. The close season expires the
beginning of next month, and all indi
cations are that the run will be phenom
inally large. Men who have been en
gaged in the business for years say that
the winter has been very favorable for
salmon, "and that 'the high water in the
river during the season causes an out
flow into the ocean, which attracts the
fish in their journey southward. Last
year Frazer river was crowded, with
salmon while the Columbia Jhad very
few. The big run realized here a few
years 'ago was preceded by just such a
winter as the present, and on this flsher-
men base their hopes. If the hopes
tertained should be realized it will result
as a stimulant to business in this city,
which is very much needed since the
depression in the wool market.
Beware of Bontb. Africa.
The following is an extract from a pri
vate letter published in the Post-lnttlli-yeneer
of Seattle:
Johannesburg, South Africa, Jan. 22,
1894 I will write a few lines to let you
know I am still alive I am a foreman
in a mine. My pay is $75 per month ;
board $25 per month, without bed.
This is no country for a white man.
Negroes do all the hammer and drill
work. Their pay is sixty-two cents per
day. There are 50,000 ot them working
within thirty square miles of here.
There are 1,500 stamp mills in one line
of fifty miles.' Each mill has from ten
to one hundred stamps. The rock is
low grade, assaying from $3 to $15 per
ton. It is sulphurets, and requires the
McArdle process. The ledges have been
prospected by diamond drill two thous
nd feet down. This is a prairie coun
try. The soil is red sand, and very poor.
It will not produce without water. The
Dutch Boers are an ignorant, lazy
people There are between 70,000 and
80,000 of them in the Transvaal repub
lic. ''The negroes are worth nothing
here. You can buy a good strong back
for $100.
I will leave this country as soon as I
earn enough money to get away. There
are a great many American miners here
out of employment. Africa is no place
for a tradesman or laborer.

An interesting story comes on the best

R. Ellis, of Oregon, has s bright young
son who enjoys the cartoons of the
Pr. Theboy was especially struck
with the cartoon in Sunday's Press
which represented Cleveland with a cage
full of cuckoos, endeavoring to tempt
the senate, labeled as the American
eagle, to. be caught by his crumbs of
patronage. "Oh, papa, what are those
birds in the cage?" cried young Ellis
to his father. The congressman replied :
"That is Mr. Cleveland, my son, with a
cagefuliof cuckoos." "Oh, papa," ex
claimed the innocent,"please take me to
the , white bouse to see the cuckoos.
Perhaps he will give me a cuckoo "
The reply of Mr Ellis, who is one of the
best' Republicans in the house, is not re
corded, but at latest accounts henad not

It i not nsnai that the people of this oity
are isolated irom communication wuo tne
outside world, either east or west, in tre
middle of March; bat such is. the fact this
year. On Tuesday night a freight train
ran into a cow two miles west of Durkee,
causing a frightful wreck of the bars and
the death of tbo brakeman and fireman.
Tbe aooident is very deplorable as the
brakeman was to have been married on the
20th of the present month, aad the fireman
leaves a wife and to ohildren. This
wreck cause J the abtaioamin". of rh Wi-.
bound train yesterday, and ea tei Hunting
ton on that day a passenger tram was
ditched, .' by which it is reported several
were killed and wounded. Full par
ticulars cannot be ascertained, and rumois
are very vogue and unreliable, une says
the wreck took place on the Bine mount
ains, and were the moat frightful of aay
that happened tbia season. There is no
mueh doubt that two or more live bav
been lost; bat further particulars are almost
impossible to ascertain.
A rpecial from Spokane passed (town tbe
road this morning on schedule time; but
nesr the Locks waa blockaded by a land
slide, and we understand that another cov
ered tbe track behind it near Hood River.
These are large slides, add masses of rock.
earth and debris several feet deep block the
road. A wrecking crew left the oity this
forenoon aa soon aa tbe fact was ascer
tained, and it is not known when the- track
will be cleared. No triius rrom the weat
arrived to-day, and urn not be nxpeotcd u
til the road bed is cleared.
How long it will be until a traiu a rives
from the eaat is not now known, and it may
be days; but it can be confidently stated
that the railroad company will clear the
track a soon as possible, and have throng h
trains between the Atlantic and Pacific.
A Fralt Cannery, j
We publish the following letter of in
quiry on a subject in which onr people

I am looking for a looation to build and
operate a frnit cannery., I met a gentleman
yesterday, who, at one time, lived at The
Dalles and be advised me to write to yea
for the desired iuformation.
I am an experienced frnit-eanner, having
operated canneries in California. I want to
build a cannery for the coming season with
a capacity of from 250,000 to 500,000 can.
Such a plaut would employ about 123 hands
directly, and possibly three times as many
in an indirect manner. . You ean see that a
plant of this kind would be of tjreat bene
6t to a small oity.
Would you kindly let me know what
yonr people would do in the way of a bonus
to secure such an enterprise. Also let me
koow if you can tell hew much fruit there
is raised in your neighborhood, and about
how many acres of each? : Also let me know
the pnoe of rouih lumber and the price of
wood and coal? -
As a matter of fact I will locate my can
nery where I an-offered the heat indme
