Portland
An EnthusUtstld Meeting In
Saturday Might.
There never was a more enthusiastic
crowd assembled in the city of Port
land than the oi e which congregated
at the New Park theatre last Saturday
evening to ratify the nomination of
William J. Bryan, the candidate of tbe
people for the office of presiden t. Not
withstanding the Oregonian termed it
a "cold frost" affair, there was a gen
eral warming up of the 1,500' people
who assemblee to express their senti
ment of approval of tbe nomination
Hon. N. P. Davis presided over the
meiting. and his reference to tht
popular candidate was a signal for
a deafening . applause that fairly
shook the building. Judge O'Day
wa? tbe first speaker, and his
patriotic remarks concerning the
rights of the people to govern them
selves and to dictate to every policy of
government without imploring the
consent of foreign powers, struck a re.
snonsive chord among his hearers, and
they had no hesitation about express
ing their feelings. He was followed
by G. M. Miller, of Linn county
Judge Dell Stuart; an ex-republican,
of Portland, C. K. Henry. S. B. Rig
gin, Judge Bennett, Frances Clarno
and some dozen others, all of whom
were heartily cheered, showing the
sentiment for Bryan was not of a la
tent nature.
The audience which filled the New
Park that night were not the rif-raf
nor the anarchist element whom the
republican press of that city would
make believe are the only followers of
Bryan, but was composed" of intelli
gent, determined men and women,
who are earnest in their demands for
a change in present financial condi
tions, and who are ready to labor for
the cause of the people in opposition
to the effort, of the classes to retain
the reins Of government. If the meet
ing which opened tbe campaign in
Portland is a sample of the enthusiasm
that is to attend Bryan's campaign in
this -tate, and also a sample of those
who are carrying his banner it will not
be a question of whether he will carry
the state in November, but the size of
his majority.

CONTRACT AWARDED.
The War Department Has Approved
Bros' Contract.
E. Schanno, while at, Cascades Locks
Friday learned that Day Bros, had
just been notified by telegram that
their bid for completing thu inner
walls of the canal had been approved
by th'H department, and that they had
been ins'ruqted to commence work al
nee. It wa9 expected that they would
get the contract fince the p'ant is on
the ground and they are better prepared
pro-ecute the work speedily than
ny one else: but since there is no in
formation at hard as to the time in
which they are to complete the work,
there is no telling whi-ther the locks
will be open for traffic this fall or ten
years hence. However, it "is to be
hoped tbe department has been very
strict in awarding the contract for ti is
small, work that is yet required to
open the Columbia from The Dalles to
tbe sea, and that there is a provision
that the work shall be pushed with the
greatest possible expediency.
It has been estimated that the inner
walls can be built of solid masonry
within six weeks, and if these estimates
are correct, no longer time should be
allowed in tbe contract, for if the locks
are not opened by tbe middle of Octo
ber they will be of little benefit in
moving this years' wheat crop, and had
ss well not be finished until next year
so-far as any practical benefit is con?
cerned.'

THE atlSES OF ROSHLAND.
Judge Steven Say They Are Enormously
Rich.
Circuit Judge Thomas A. Stevens
has returned from a visit to Rossland,
Trail and North port, and he is amazed
at tbe hidden wealth in those mining
camps, says the Portland Telegram.
Mr. Stevens is an excellent j idge of
mining property, for it must be re
membered that he was on the Com
stoek lode, Virginia City, Nev., al
most from the period of its rise to the
time it began to crumble.
Judge Stevens says that were tbe
Rossland mines on the American s.de
of the line, Rjs-land would in a short
time be a reproduction of Virginia
City which turned out millions with
out number. In his opinion it is one
of the richest miningcamps discovered
on the American continent. The
croppings, though are dissimilar to
any he ever saw in any quartz mining
lcoat ons. They are of a volcanic for
mation, and one must delve through
them a foot or more before reaching
the real mineral cropping9. He added
that by reason of this fact he is not
surprised that English mining ex
perts sent out here to examine those
mines made an unfavorable report on
them.
The judge, however, advises all me
chanies and laboring men to keep
away from Rossland. for there is noth
ing for them to do there. Tbe manual
lahor is principally done by Britons,
carpenters setting $1.50 and stone
masons $2.50 a day.
"No American can c btnin a license
to engage in the retail l'quor bu lness
without first having resided there one
year; and all American mm- rs must
pay a tax of $9 before they are allowed
to stick a pick into the ground," ad
ded Judge Stephens.
Continuing, he said that no gamb
ling is permitted in Rossland. but in
Northport. just across, every second
home on thn min street is occupied
for gambling purposes, and tbe games
are run wide open.
The judge desires to lay particular
stress upon his advice to American
mechanics and laborers to remain
away from ttossland, us tbev cannot
find work there. -

. Hood River's Wealth.
"Hood river valley, is the garden
spot of the Northwest" is a common
expression beard from everybody who
visits that section, and this idea is
certainly-justified by the output of
that wealth-producing and fertile
valley, Mr. P. Isenberg explained to
tbe T.-M. reporter how the fruit pro
ducts of Hood River serves as a sort of
"endless chain" to draw money from
the outside world. First comes the
strawberry in May and June. Being
of a superior quality it goes to tbe re
motest part of the country and com
mands' fancy prices; next the prune
and plum crop Is harvested and adds
another link to the "chain; following
this comes the blackberry, which is
superior to any like berry in the world,
and is a source of additional revenue;
the pear crop then comes in for atten
tion and brings a whole lot of money
to the producers, and last of all Js the
Bood Biver apple, which stands pre
eminently as tbe best seller on tbe
market, and draws money even from
the "Four Hundred" of New York.
Thus it is that the harvest season be
gins in May and lasts till November,
and draws money from the entire
country to tbe little valley in the
mountains. The crop this year has
been a little short in almost all lines,
but it is sufficient to draw some $100,
000 from tbe fruit consumers of the
nation.
POOR MARKMAKBHIP.
Jerome Lauer Takes Snot at Frederick
Mathews.
Just before noon today a disturbance
occurred in the bar room at Skibbe's
hotel which caused considerable ex
citement bu little damage. When Mr.
Skibbe left for Astoria he placed
Jerome Lauer in charge of the bar,
and shortly before noon Fred Mathews
went behind the bar to a desk to do'
some writing, to which Lauer objected.
He ordered Mathews to get out, and
on his refusing to obey, Lauer stepped
to a drawer, got a pistol and took a
shot at the intruder. - His aim was
poor, however, and the ball went wide
of its mark, doing no damage except to
create a considerable commotion and
clear the bar room of spectators.
Immediately after tbe shooting Mar
thai Blakeney was telephoned to, and
proceeded at once to arrest theshooter.
Lauer was taken before Justice Filloon
on a charge of assault with a danger
ous weapon, and was held in bonds of
1250 to appear for examination at 10
A.U. Monday.

fair trial. In cases of habitual consti
pation Electric Bitters cures by giving

The Oregon Industrial Exposition
will open in the .Exposition building
at Portland on September 19 aad con
tioue until October 17. . It is tbe pur-
poseof the management to make this
year's exposition more attractive than
any that have proceeded it, and many
new features will be presented. For a
number of years past Wasco county
has had an attractive exhibit at the
exposition, and it is to be boped that
this year will see our county better
represented than ever before. With
tbe comparative failure of fruit orops
in the counties west of the Cascades,
Wasco can be made to appear at a de
cidedly good advantage this year, as
her exhibit can be made to prova the
assertion that crops never fail in. this
productive section. Let farmers and
horticulturists begin early to prepare
exhibits .so that there will be no delay
when the time comes for this ship
