From a letter received in this city
today from Sitka, Alaska, under date
of tHe22d Inst., the writer, in referring
to tbe mining excitement in that part
of the country,' gives the following ad
yice: '"'Don't let the Alaska min'msr
craza disturb you, for it is not .what it
is 'cracked up'- to be. There are some
good quartz mines . b?re, but placer
mining is entirely out of tho question.
for the simple reason that where there
is any prospect of placer mining there
are front 10 to 15 feet of ice and frozen
earth, to go through before you may
begin' looking for gold." The weather
in that part of the country has been
unusually severe this year:
The case of tho Eastern Oregon
Land Co vs. J. D. Wilcox and . others
in the XJ S. circuit court at Portland,
ia whl h tne company seeks to set
aside patents issued to settlers on lands
which are inside what is known as the
overlap limit in Shermam county, is
one of unusual interest, . and will no
doubt go to the U. S. supreme court
before it is finally determined, as upon
the decision rests the title "to several
thousand; acres of valuable land in
that county. JT L. Story, who with
John M. Gearin is attorney " for . WU

and states the case now rets on , de

It is' passing strange . how absent

near his office, while he sauntered'
dbwn the street, and becoming engagod

Bryan's election (a subject upparmost
in all . minds at present) forgot ' all
about the horse, and when bed hour

As harvest progresses IX, becomes
more evident that the wheat crop" of
Wasco county will be much heavier
than was expected a few weeks ago.
The fact is that -fall grain ia about up
to the average, while, spring wheat
will make at least half a crop.
' ' The walk on the north side of --Second
street " from the First National
bank to the east corner of Pease &

A traveling man remarked the other

The harvest yield of wheat in Sher

better than reports lat week inti

of this week, says the Moro Observer.
Nevertheless, there ' will be but little

a crop of wheat.

For some time past a superfluous
amount of prt-fanity has been wasted
by pedestrians on the streets, con
t'.emnincr the protruding nans along
the sidewalks. Marshal Elakely has
been -moved by the "cussing" to re
move the cau3e, and for the past few

There is ho question about the rich
ness of the quartz recently discovered
on Rock creek near Stovenson. . Yes
terdty Capt. Waud was shown spec!
mens of. the ore that were streaked
wich gold, and that were said to assay
from 83,000 to S4.000 to the ton.' The
Captain say 9 the excitement both at
Stevenson and Cascade Locks over
the new discovery is intense.
C. A. Stewart, an old resident of
Cascade Locks, is in the city, today.
Mr. Stewart was at the Cascades when
the first shovel full of dirt aa lifted
from the canal; has watched the oper
ations from the beginning to the
present time, and says if the Great
Ruler permits him to live fifteen or
twenty years longer, be expects yet to
see boats pass through the canal..
The July crop report Issued from the
department of agriculture, show the
condition of winter wheat through the
nation is 7-5.6 against 65.8 last July.
The condition of spring .wheat is 93.3,
against 102,2 in July 1S95. In Oregon
winder wheat is rated 95 and spring
wheat 93; These ratings evidently
are too high for Oregon if tho reports
given by the press of the state are re
liable. . ' .
The canneries at Artoria are per

About shipping Fruit.
"E. W Johnson, rep'resenting.Porter
Bros. Co., shippers of fruit, is in the.
city and is offering some good advice
to orchard ists as to the best methods
to adopt in the preparation of fruit for
shipment. Mr. Johnson has had years
of experience in handling fresh fruits
and' has learned that tbe secret of suc
cess in securing good prices lies very
much in the manner in which fruit is
prepared for shipment. He advises'
that the "closest, care be observed in
sorting, jo tbat each box shall contain
fruit of a certain size and quality.' A
half dozen too small . or too large
peaches, plums or prunes in a box, be
says will injure the sale from 25 to 30
per cent. He suggests that the fruit
raisers of. this section secure the use of
a warehouse where, they -can ' store
their fruit as itls brought in frcm the'
orchards, then' employ enough 'sorters
and packers to put it in condition for
shipping. '.Were tbis plan adopted he
believes-, the fruit - crop -. of . Wasqo'
i-ounty. would realize the, growers at
least 25 cents more than it does when
..careless methods of sorting and pack
ing" are adopted.

Editor Tixes-MocstaMeeu:
Ao I promised to send the Mors
TADTEER an account of ray trip and
especinly . items from Yaquina.. or
?.ewport. and thinking my long Bilence
might lead you to thiukthat the angry
waves of the old ocean had devoured
me, I will give you seme items froni
Linn county, the place of your birth
and also mine.
When leaving The Dalles all
thought of was to get -out of that
tropical clirne where the thermometer
registered at, or near lts6 in the shade,
As soon. as my feet left Dalles scl',and
I' was comfortably eeated on" the
steamer Regulator, I began ' to enjoy
the refreshing breeze that one nearly
always finds while gliding over- -tbe
waters of the magnificent Columbia,
Tne trip to uaBCiioe .locks was
pleasant, and was soon made, and in
due time we reached the Dalles Citv,
where we werosoon on board and were
informed that we were to be ueated to
a ride up over the rapids, a tr wt we
"ould long remember. Owing .to the
high water, the rapids at that time
were anything but smooth, but the
steamer and her crew were Jtqual to
the occa Lon and all went well. We
were told that we would soon be landed
and given ten minutes in which to
visit a salmon cannery. As there was
an immense crowd .of passengers and
many of them tourists, this Dews was
welcoinely received, and through tbe
kitidnes of CaptainJohnston we were
escorted through the immensecanning
establishment, and were shown all tbe
different processes that the salmon
were taken through. To the writer of
this it was a genuine treat, and the
passengers were all delighted and lost
no time in seeing all they could in the
limited time that was given us.
On reaching Portlahd"we found the
weather there quite as 'warm as
when we . left home. '.During the
cessions of tbe D. of H. grandJodge we
kept our '?palm leaf" in constant, mo-
tiou, and. sitting near a largo stone
jar nlled witn. ice water, with wnion
we could quench our thirst, we man
aged to survive and come out as The
Dalles usually doer, witb high honors,
our banners flying- in the breeze, for
we were the banner lodge in benefi
ciary as well as social member?, and
many were the words of praise spoken
for Fern Lodge of The Dulles. . Proud,
did youEaj? Welli yes, we were as
proud as an editor is when he receives
a V, Can your imagination paint that
for you?
After spending a week pleasantly in
Portland,, we took the train for Al
bany. Rut before we left the city we
had the pleasure of seeing the armored
cruiser Philadelphia Tbe length of
this wonderful piece of mechanism is
335 feet. It is fitted witb electric
lights throughout, and four immense
searchlights. Hundreds of people went
daily to feast their eyes on tbis mar-
yelous structure that ." .
Moves In a mysterious "way, "'
Its wonders to perform; .
And graoefuiiy sails across tbe sea,
And oattlewUh the storm.

and heat, and together., with the dust
j an d cinders .we.: were not very sorry,
i.when we were told that the next station
i was. Albany, with 20 minutes for
j .dinner-. We found tbis place nearly
-deserted, i A - goodly ."; number of the
population are away to the different
Bummer resorts of wnicn there are
many In 'this county1'- -
Every one here talks "hard times,"
and yet they seem to enjoy all the
-pleasures that are in vogue. But this
season I believe will work hardships
on many, for the gr;;in crop? nre light,'
j away below the average, and the fruit
j crop is almost a total failure-, especially
apples, ureen apples are a curiosity
hero. Once in a while I
timer" here who gives
meet an "old
me a cordial
band-shake, and asks me how times are
"up east of the mountains"? Or, how
is it up in the "bunch grass country?"
Now, Bro. Editor, do you think I look,
like a "bunch grasser?" Another,
more on politics bent,- asks, "What
are you in favor of, gold', or ' silver?"
Now, not being a politician and a little
puzzled at this question, I answer
with a twinkle in my eye. "Well,
either one, so I have enough of it; the
old fashioned greenbacks and I are
still on friendly terms, and postage"
stamps are not bad where I come
from." , . ., ; ' . ".
My "better half," (or -worse half)
writes me that the grasshoppers are
eating everything green up there, and
it was fortunate for me that I had ieft;
so far he had escaped. . Well I do not
see any grasshoppers hre, but I'll tell
you there are' other ..pests in Oregon,
and that is. the little, old-fashioned
black, Willamette valley flea. I think
I will have to flee from here soon or I
will be past fleeing. . '
.' I will go to ' Yaquina soon and will
then give yod some Items from there.
Am visiting' around .here and there
oyer the .country. Find many
changes have taken place, and many
new faces baye taken the places of the
old familiar ones. It is pleasant to
visit' the scenes of our childhood, but:
If there Is a place that can Impart
.Blest visions to tlie aching heart, .
' Is were a place whose tone dear. "
Can soothe our grief, dispel our Xear,
- that place is home. '
Very respectfully, .

AX AWFOt ACCIDENT.
A Dangntfr of ex-Mayor Pmul Kreft
Drugged to Death.
Wednesday an accident occurred
which robhed a happy family of one of
its brightest jewels. About 7:30 Mis
Francis Kelt accompanied by her two
little sisters, one a girl of eight years
and tbe other a babe little more than
a year old, started lor a ride in aone-
horse dog cart, and as they wero cross
ing the Ninth street bridge tbe right
line was dropped. Ia her attempt to
regain tbe line Miss Kreft evidently
drew too baru on the rein she was still
holding, puliing tb horse to the left
and causing one wheel of the cart to
pass over a stone, tilling it eo that the
younger girl and babe were thrown to
the ground. Mr." Ed. Williams was
driving juat ahead of the children, but
had turned his horse -to the rl?ht.
while they apparently were intending
to take tbe road leading -to the left,
Mr. Williams immediately ran to the
assistance of tbe children who were on
the ground, gathering them up, and
'finding they were not hurt, got into

Miss Kreft's horse, which by this time
wasrunning at a rapid "rate. About all
Mr. Williams could see was a cloud of
du$t, and could not -ascertain where
Miss Kreft was; The horse ran down
tbe road some two and one-half miles
to tbe bridge across Chenowetb, creek
where it was stopped by - Oma Marsh
and two companions'. ' Miss Kreft
was found witb one foot entangled in
the slats of the cart, "with her body
between one shaft and the wheel, her
head having been fea'rfully mangled
by the rapidly revolving wheel. When
extricated from the cart life was ex
tinct. ' .

" The Output ot Gold. '
The director of tbe mint of the
United States estimates' the world's
output of gold for the current calendar
year a; $220,000,000. This estimate is
based on "the returns obtained up to
thf middle of the yea., which, of course
are subject to corrections and verifica
tions. - It is believed, however, -that
the estimate will not be far wrong,
since list year's output is now very
accurately fixed at 8203,000,000, and a
decided increrase for tbe present year
is reported in different quarters.

THE COXDITIOX OF FECIT
An Almost Total FsiWra
Oregon.
In - Wettero-
W. L. Weatherred, agent for the
Goodell Fruit Line, has made an ex
tended tour over the entire state in tbe
interest of nis company, and has made
close calculations of the amount
fruit tbat will be shipped from tbe
Northwest during the present eeaeon
In Willamette valley, Mr. Weather
rea says mo iruit orop is almost ali
en tire failure, and there will be but few
cars of fruit shipped from the orohard
of the valley this season. In southern
Oregon, where the crop was heavy last
year, tbe orchards were seriously dam
agea oy mo coio, nacKward spring.
and the shipments from Jaokson, Jose
phine and Douglas counties will be
only about one-sixth what they were
last year. ,
In Eastern Oregon and Idaho the
outlook .is mpre promising. While
the strawberry raisers in Grand Ronde
valley List nearly their entire crop on
account of a rain followed by extreme
hot neat'ier durlag the first week of
July, 'other fruits are comparatively
uninjured. Mr. Weaiherred has just
returned from a trip to the upper coun
try, and says Hough and Orensberg,
the principal fruit raisers of La
Grande, willhavesoveralcersof mixed
fruit for shipment',' and he estimates
tbe shipments from La Grande, Union
and Cove will be from 15 to 20 cars,
Summerville and Elgin will ship from
three to four cars of mixed fruit, while
other points in tbat section will have
a few cars for shipment.
In the Saake river country, from
Lewiston to Reperia, Mr. Weatherred
says the yield will be quite heavy. He
estimates thp amount for shipment will
be about 2C0 cars. Perhaps one-half
of this will be consumed in the local
markets west of Butte,' Montana, while
the remaining 100 cars will go east
Of the Wasco county fruit crop Mr.
Weatherred says In quality it is equal
to that of any fruit producing section
the Northwest. He was shown
through Judge Bennett's orchard,
which is one of the largest in the
county, and estimates it will produce
some 10 car loads of a quality that will
do to shio, and W. H. Taylor, Seufert
Bros, and other extensive growers will
have a considerable -amount ot prime
fruit. .Hood River has already shipped
some 15 cars of small fruits, and he
estimates the ', lutura shipments from
that point this season will be about 30
cars. -
When asked with reference to prob
able prices, v r. Weatherred gave it as
his opiuioa that if proper care were
taken in selecting, packing and ship
ping, better prices, would be obtained
this season than last. The general
shortage throughout tbe entire
country will have a tendency to. bring
prime fruit in demand and cause high
prices to prevail in the east.
Tough on the Chickens.
Five-Mixe July 25.
Editor TiMSs-MocsTAarsia: ' '-
Tbis has been a 'sad and sorrowful
day on our ranch Sfty-ttve nice young
spring chickens laid to rest in their
lonely- grave-rthe result of having
used tbe arsenic and bran grasshopper
exterminator I saw recommended in
tbe Chronicle. The caution,. "don't
let chickens and domestic, animals
get at it" was all right, but here was
nothing said about .the hopper flying
from five to twenty miles after be bad
eaten tbe pudding,' nor ndradvice given
to. catch the grasshoppers and pull off
their wings before putting out, the
poison, else my chickens might been
saved, and the hoppers would be
marching around singing:
'.'On that Hfsraai-puddlng,-.

Marching, home to glory,'1
while my fifty-five young friers that
fed on tho pois'oned-hoppers after they
bad flown a mile'would still le alive. "'

Some time since J. J. Hogau and
wife left here and located in Rossland,
B. B. Mr. Hogan writes to a friend
here under date of July 27, advising
those who contemplate going to Ross
land for the purpose of securing work
to stay away. There is plenty of work
in Rossland, but the supply of laborers
is greater than the demand, there being
a great many men there already who
cannot secure employment.'' Rssland,
Mr. Hogan says, has a bright future,
and presents a good opening for any
one" who has means and is desirous of
engaging in business, out offers little
inducement for laborers. There are
now 5000 people in tbe camp, and from
tbe number of mines that are being
developed and the amount of capital
that is being invested he things it will
soon be a place of 40,000 inhabitants,
The Institute.
The theory "lass considered the
training of the conscience Thursday.
The instructor showed bow the
conscience was a matter of training
and impressed upon the teachers tbat
they must make their pupils know the
meaning of "ought." Tbe class in arith
metic is working the problems in tbe
Normal course as given in Brook's
Mental Arithmetic. Tbe composition
class classified tbe metonymies as sug
gested by tbe author.
The attendance at the institute Is
larger this week than lt was the two
weeks past, and there are more teach
ers to come. . The extent and import
ance of the educational work in Wasco
county broadens before the teachers,
when they find that so many are en
gaged in the work. There have been
sixty four teachers enrolled.
One Slore Cripple Crlek found...
Word has been received that there
is considerable excitement at Steven
son, the county seat of - Skamania
county, opposite the upper cascades,
on account of the discovery of gold
bearing quartz in Rock creek, about
15 miles back from tbe Columbia. Par
ties who were fishing on Rock creek a
few days since say Stevenson was prac
tically deserted, all the men having
gone up to the .mines. Parties from
East Portland, discovered the vein,
and have boen exploring and develop
ing it, and have already a considerable
quantity of ro-k "on tbe dump."
Wben they have had a milling test
made, they will be able to judge of
the value of thieir discovery.
"High Jinks" reigned in the east

prfmlscous in sampling beverages,
and as a result one of them who Blept

extracted from his pockets during the

supposed friend, and today is unable

SOME OF TBE MANY ILLS.
Why There lean Uprising-Against OfSclal-
ism in This Community.
ED. TTSES-jiOUSTAlSEEK:
The cry of free silver against gold
bears on its face only a part of the
grievances of tbe people agilnst cap!
tal, railroads, banks add trusts. 'The
people have at last discovered tbe
power of tbe above combinations, not
as individuals, but as a formidable
consolidation hard to break.
vv e win cite an . Instance right at
borne; herein Oregon. Twenty-seven
years ago tne U. a. government pre
pared plans and specifications for a
oanal and locks at the Cascades of the
Columbia,' and made an appropriation
of 8750,000 whiah was estimated to be
sufficient to build them. A contract
was let to Messrs. Ball and Black for
the completion of the work in three
years, the price to be $700,000. One of
tbe partners dying, the contract was
thrown up, under what conditions the
writer has no' means of knowing. The
work was then continued under the
supervision ofU. S. engineers with
little progress, until about five years
ago, when under the guise of a col
tract, it was placed in the bands of
Messrs. Day Bros., who were to be and
have been paid 'prices regulated by
the government estimates. . For five
years they have plodded along, and at
this date no one can tell when the
oeks will be completed or how.
Wby this work has been delayed and
what influence ban been brought to
bear to prevent work from progressing
as it should, might be answered by
these questions: How many senators
and representatives have been elected
by that same influence? What has
been its e fleet on state politics?
Four years ago, tbe state was granted
by tbe United States a right of way
for a portage railroad across the gov
ernment reserve at Cascades, and the
people of the United States paid tbe
R. & N. Co. $22,000 for that right of
way. .
l he state of Oregon built a portage
road over this right of - way . for the
benefit of the whole people, and main
tained and operated it continuously,
till some three weeks ago, when to the
surprise and astonishment of every
body, except perhaps our state officials,
Day Bros., presumably backed by , the
government engineers, ' the railroad
company, senators and representatives
and possibly the state officials," refused-
auow tne state to operate tms
portage. . -
When such high handed opposition
. the welfare of a community is
inked at by those in official positions,
can you expect the people to longer sit
idly and kiss tbe band that smote
them? Can you blame them for want
ing a change, even taking chances for
better or for worse? The vote in No
vember will tell. PlOMSSB.
Itls not always tbe quantity of
groceries you get but the quality tbat
gives satisfaction to the housewife.
Remember tbat quality and prices are
tbe two: ' things considered , at
Johnston's cash store
tunch at Mrs. C. ' Nelson & Co's.
