Have Come Down From the Mountain.
Mount Hood is covered with new
snow from summit to base, and prob
ably the very "last party of the season"
has made the ascent, and the last has
been heard of, says the Oregonian.
Travel over the Barlow gate toll-road
is practically at an end for the season.
There is over three inches of snow at
the Summit house. Mr. H. S. Camp
bell has left there and gone to his win
ter residence at Salmon, and Mrs.
Minnie Llewellyn has come to Port
land to Bpend the winter. Mr. and
Mrs. Beatty will leave the toll house
next Monday, and throw the gates ajar
for the benefit of all who desire to cross
the range. Mr. and Mrs. Yokum, who
have become so used to living "high"
have decided to remain for the winter
on their homestead at Government
Camp. They will be the most elevated
residents of Oregon during that sea
son at least, and although 8000 feet
above sea level, are likely to be any
number of feet, beneath the snow.
John Jackson goes over the mountains
with a band of horses today, which is
something like carrying coal to New
Still Burning- Hay.
The mania for burning sheepmen's
hay in the vicinity of Mitchell shows
no signs of abating as is shown by the
following taken from the Mitchell
Monitor of the 8th:
"On the eve of going to press, we
are in receipt of news of the wholesale
burning of hay in the country tribu
tary . to Mitchell. On Wednesday
nipht last Mr. Tom Stephenson's
stacks, over on Beaver creek were de
stroyed, and on the same . night the
torch was applied to the stack yards of
Frank Hereford and H. Shoemaker,
on West Branch. We have not heard
any details in regard to the matter,
but. enough Is known to ' say . that a
fiend or fiends are abroad . In the land
who richly deserve hanging. . The ex
citement among the' sheepmen Is now
at a high tension, and every effort will
be made to ferret out the fire bug or
bugsand if successful in finding them,
the subsequent proceedings will inter
est them no more." .
GBOWTH OF PENSIONS.
Store Than One Million Kamei on the
List.
The growth of the pension list during
the past decade has been enormous,
and this country now has the distinc
tion of providing for a larger number
of military pensioners than any other
country in the world at any time since
the records of governments first began
to be kept. Since dealing with pen
sions and pensioners has been a factor
in the politics of the nation for the
past thirty years, a study of the figures
showing the growth of the roll since
I860 is not uninteresting.
In 1865 the rolls contained only 85,-
986 names; in 1875 there had been an
increase to 234,821, with a further in
crease to 345,125 in 1885. Since the
latter year the increase has almost
exactly trippled. The increase took
place chiefly under the first administra
tion of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Harri
son. At the close of the fiscal year of
1888 there were 452,577 names on the
roll an increase of 129,821 during the
four years since 1884. At the close of
1892 there were 876,068 a further In
crease in four years of 423,491 names.
The increase between 1884 and 1888
had doubled the increase of the pre
ceding term, up to that time the high
est record made. In the four years of
the Harrison term it was not the in
crease but the total that was doubled.
Since the close of the fiscal year 1892
there has been an increase from 876,
068 names to 1,012,935. This latter
figure is probably the high water mark,
as the names dropped from the rolls
during the past year because of deaths
and for other reasons brought the
total down to 970,524 a net gain of
980 for the year.
LOCAL NEWS.
. . . A Grewiome Spectacle.
A Portland bill collector was over to
Vancouver the other day, and a Tele
gram reporter overheard him telling a
friend what he saw there. He said:
It was a coffin strapped on a bicycle,
and it was being taken to the country,
evidently, for the rider had the appear
ance of being dressed for along, hard
ride. . If was a strange combination.
The coffin was strapped across the handle-bars
and over the front wheel. The
big black varnished box almost hid
the rider whose head just appeared
over the lid. To add to this grewsome
spectacle, which reminded me forcibly
of a mince-pie nightmare, the rider
wore a black cap drawn down well on
his head. His face was thin and white
and for. a moment I thought it was a
transformed vision of an end-of-the-century
Silent Reaper, He was minus
his sand-glass and scythe not to men
tion his whiskers and to me the start
ling spectacle seemed as if it were
some horrible octopus looking for a
victim for the grave." .
Decidedly Blch.
The best paying black sand beach
mine that has been discovered ohthis
coast, says the San Francisco Mining
and Scientific Press, is near the Port
Orford lighthouse. The claim when
first discovered, nearly forty years ago,
was yellow with gold for over twenty
feet in width and three in depth, and
paid $200 a day to the man . The claim
is being worked this year for the
fourth time by leasers. The sand is
thrown on a grizzly, carried over amal
gamated plates to catch the gold, and
over mohair cloth to catch the plati
num, which is worth $4.50 an ounce.
Business at the land office was light
today. The only transactions were the
hearing of a contest case of Oren D.
Brace vs. the heirs of Mary M. Gordon
for failing to comply with the require
ments of the law on a timberculture

they have been losing flesh so rapidly
that there is not an average of more
than one in five which are prime, mut-.
ton in flocks that are running on the

will be difficult during the Tiext few
months to secure enough mutton to
supply the markets for which he is
Duying.
A Civilized Indian.
What might well be called a civil
ized Indian was enjoying . himself
under the Regulator dock Tues
ing. He was comfortably seated in a
boat which had been drawn up unde
the dock to protect him from the ele
ments, and was perfectly oblivious to
all sorrows occasioned by the advent
of the white man or the fall of his
race. He had evidently emulated the
example of his white brother too
freely, having drunk deeply the
draughts of some soul-cheering fluid,
for the treasured bottle was clenched
firmly in his hand. He was dead
drunk civilized we might say.

Irrigation In Oregon.
The completion of the Owyhee ditch
in Eastern Oregon marks one of the
largest irrigation enterprises in that
part pf the country. Thirty thousand
acres of land are reclaimed by it.
Work on the ditch invited settlers,
and there are already 130 homes estab
lished on lands watered by it. These
people have organized four school dis
tricts with 200 school children, and
modern school buildings are now under
construction. Ditches will give to the
Pacific Northwest a multitude of
homes, worthy of a highly civilized
people. Northwest Magazine.

Preserving Fruit In Borax.
Mr. F. M. Smith, of Oakland, Cal.,
believes he has discovered a means for
preserving fresh fruit that will prove a
grat success. He tried the experi
ment with some cherries, and the re
sult was so satisfactory that a car of I
cherries was packed in borax and
shippej to Chicago, where they were
disposed oi at mgii price owing to
their good condition.
"There is no patent on this discov
ery," said Mr. Smith in an interview.
"It 1b free to all. I regard it of the
utmost value n the working out of the
problem of domestic economy.' The
same borax can be used over and over
again, and a great amount of unneces
sary waste will be avoided by preserv
ing fruit in this way. Private fami
lies, as well as hotels and restaurants,
can have their borax bins at small ex
pense, in which they can constantly
keep an assortment of fresh fruit."

Mr. Hamilton has been foreman for

familiar with " the great mining re
sources of Alaska. Mr. ; Hamilton
thinks there is a great future in ptore
for Alaska if John Bull does not de
vour it. He brought with him some
very rich specimens of quartz, which
have been pronounced by experts to be
very valuable. He also brought it any
curios, which are very rare aud inter- j
eating. Mr. Hamilton says the fishing
season has been very satisfactory.

From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this extract: "I
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King's New Discovery, as the' re'
suits were almost marvelous in the
case of my wife. While I was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives Junc
tion she was brought down with pneu
monia succeeding la grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing, would last
hours with little Interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them." A. friend recommended Dr.
King's New Discovery; it was quick in
its work and highly satisfactory in re
sult." ' Trial bottles free at Blakeley
