obtainable.
No new wheat has yet been received
at The Dalles warehouses, threshing

While many Oregonians are run

gold, the mineral wealth of the state
is left comparatively undeveloped. If
the people of Oregon would devote a

Oregon would soun come to the front
a great mining state.

From tbe Freeport, 111., Democrat,
of July 19th, is gleaned the following
account of a little Western romance
that has no douDt ere thistresulted in
a happy marriage and hasfcvon for the
postmaster of Mitchell, Crook county,
an estimable bride:
In the summer of 1891, A. D. Looney,
on his way to the Pacific coast from
Chicago, passed through Freeport on
an Illinois Central train, which was
boarded at the station by a number of
school teachers who had been attend
ing a summer normal school. Among
the number was Miss Lena Schlafer.
The car was crowded, and Miss Schla
fer remained standing when the train
pulled out; Mr. Looney offered to share
bis seat with her, and she accepted
the courtesy with a kindly "thank
you." A conversation followed, dur
ing which the young people diecovered
that they bad congenial tastes, and
which was made easier by the fact that
Mr. Looney had also been a teacher in
his native state of Tennessee, and by
the time the young lady's home was
reached they were well acquainted.
Mr. Looney kept the picture of the
pretty, brown-haired girl in his mind
ail during bis long ride across the con
tinent, and when he reached his desti
nation he wrote her, telling of his safe
arrival, and other things. The girl
replied, and the correspondence begun
in that way has since been continuous.
In due season a proposal came in one
of tbe letters from the west, and atbe
young man was appointed postmaster
of Mitchell, Oregon, in 1896, it is prob
able thpt he himself deposited the im
portant missive in the mail bag, and it
is also likely that when the reply came
the people had to wail for their mail
until the government official had read
"yes" or "no." Btrt hv reply KWE
vorable, so after some further exchange
of letters, pictures and that sort of
thing that young people are given to,
a week ago today Mr. Looney packed
his grip and started east. It was ar
ranged that they should meet where
the romance was begun, and last Fri
day he saw his prospective bride for
the first time since he left her stand
ing on the platform at the station in
JoDaviess county six years .ago. This
morning County Clerk Held put his
signature and tbe seal of the county to
their marriage license.
From the Alaska Gold Field.
Mr. Lawder is in receipt of a letter
from Chris Donovan, who went to
Alaska last year, dated at American
Creek, May 16, in which some idea of
the regions of that latitude and the
hardships to be endured may be gained.
The letter states that on May 16th the
winter bad not yet broke, and snow
covered the ground. During the win
ter the mercury reached 58 degrees be
low zero, and the winter set in on
Sept. 28 last. Mr. Donovan says the
mines in the vicinity where he is lo
cated are rich, paying from 50c to $200
to the pan, and claims have been sold
for from $10,000 to $50,000. .Wages are
$10 a day and work plentiful, though
living is very high, and a man out of
employment for a time soon eats
up all his earnings.
1 Persons prospecting are compelled
to carry their tools, provisions and
bedding wherever they go. and are
subjected to many hardships. Recon
siders the prospecLs good for any stout
vigorous man who can endure pros
pecting, and who has a little capital to
go on, hut it is not a good outlook for
any one without means, or who is not
in perfect health.

About 11 o'clock Tuesday forenoon
the dwelling house of Frank Lieblien,
near Kingsley, was destroyed by fire.
Mr.LieblJen was in a field near by, while
Mrs. Liebleien was preparing the noon
day meal. A stiff wind was blowing
at the time, and the first intimation
Mrs. Lieblien had of anything being
wrong she noticed sparks falling in
the yard. Rushing out of the house
she discovered the entire upper por
tion of the house in flames, and within
a few moments the building collapsed.
The house was a heap of ruins before
Mr. Lieblien reached it, and all the
contents a total loss. Their provis-
Blon8eddlbgnaoTnniS"weTe SifT
destroyed, not a thing being saved.
There was oo Insurance on the build
ing or contents, and the total loss , is
estimated to be $2,000.
Off For Clondyke.
Thursday morning's train carried Dr.
Siddall and John Parrott to Portland,
on their way to the Clondyke mines.
At Portland they take passage on the
Steamer . Elder for the northern
regions, and with visions of Immense
wealth flitting about in their minds,
will journey to Chilcat, when their
first real hardship will begin. They
expect to make the trip across the
Chilcat pass on foot and hope to get
themselves comfortably housed In
winter quarters before severe weather
sets in. Dr. Siddall took with him a
full set of dental tools, and expects to
practice his profession, while Mr. Par
rott will devote his time to prospect
ing for gold.

The sale of liquor in Alaska is al
lowed only under the executive order,
fjr medicinal, mechanical or scientific
purposes by pan-ons who obtain a
special permit from the govcrnur, and
the giving of a bond that ho wiil not
sell intoxicants to people unknowu to
him or in tS habit of becoming in
toxicated. The laws are very restric
tive, but have not been enforced, and
this is one of tbe objects the new ad
ministration seeks in the new collect
or of customs the enforcement of the
regulations.
The whisky they make up on the
Yukon is both fearful and wonderful.
Young sports who want to be real
devils and to be called rounders and
all that sort of thing, have no concep
tion of what a concoction of brown
sugar and watery, weak alcohol is. In
a Dawson dance hall a Portland boy
is authority for this statement you
can get a dance from four bits to $5
and the accompanying drink of poison
costs 75 cents, so that the pace is a
warm one.
Collector of Customs Ivey will find
this Alaska whiskey interesting to
deal with if all that is said of it is true.
One story goes that the Louise Town
whisky is the world beater for strength.
When you call for a drink, it is poured
out for you and beside tbe glass there
is a whisk broom.
After you down your stuff you take
your broom and retire to a corner of
the barroom where there is a sawdust
bed. There you lie down and roll
around in a contortionistic fit for five
minutes, after which you arise, brush
your clothes with the if hisk broom,
and go away for some fresh air until
your thirst overcomes your temper
ance scruples again. Telegram.

While other papers bob up and bob
down in Pendleton, the Eait Oregon
ian pursues the even tenor of its way,
takes all the abuse heaped upon it good
naturedly, and accepts the credit of
everything charged against it. Here
is the way it views the present situa
ation of the Pendleton press:
The East Oregonian is accused by
the Pendleton Republican of install
ing one of its "henchmen" in the of
fice of the Pendleton Tribune for the
purpose of running it into the ground.
Now comes forward the Pendleton
Tribune, edited and managed by the
gentleman which the Republican refers
to as the East Oregonian's - "hench
man,'! and intimates that the East Or
egonian is giving support to the Pen
dleton Republican with the view of
doing up theTribune. Between these
friends and their accusations we are
at a loss to know "where we are at."
The Yukon RWer.
As to access Into the Clondyke

is known except that it is undoubtedly
second on the continent only to the
Mississippi. The head of its delta is
more than 100 miles from tbe sea, and
its total width at tbe sea over 70 miles.
Efforts for surveys of the delta of the
riyer have never come to anything.
but it appears that only one of the
mouths is navigable, and is called the
Kusilvak slough. Its shallowest part
admits of vessels drawing 15 feet.
Aoovetnis snanow place there is a
depth of four or five fathoms to the
mouth of Anvik river, 300 miles, and
In a general way we know that the
river is navlgaole for about three-
fourths of its 2000 miles of length. I
Several of its tributaries are also
navigable.
Both Gold and Fish.
Gold may not be, after all, the chief
wealth of the Yukon country. The
salmon has the curious faculty of
adapting itself to the size of the stream
it frequents. In the Sacramento river
its average is 16 pounds. In the Co-
lumDia it is zj to Z pounds this year
about 25 pounds. In the Yukon the
salmon averages 40 pounds. Fish have
been taken weighing 120 pounds, whila
the largest Columbia catch was a little
over 80 pounds. If salmon-catching
should prove practicable and profitable
...
on tho great river of tbe north, the
wealth taken from its water might
easily exceed that washed out of its
sands. The Columbia river has yielded
some $70,000,000 in fish products, and
it is doubtful wether the Upper Yukon
and its tributaries will ever produce
that amount in gold. Oregonian. '
Another Crook County Tragedy.
A letter dated at Prineville, July 26,
states that news had just reached that
place of the fatal stabbiner of Horace
Cadle, youngest son of Jack Cadle, of
Prineville, at a dance on Beaver creek
on the night of the 24th. It appears
that Cadle was attending a dance at
the Beaver creek school house, and I
got into a fight with a stranger out
side the building. Cadle knocked his
antagonist down, when the latter
sprung to bis feet, drew a knife and
plunged it into Cadle's head. When
Cadle fell he struck against a building
so that the knife was driven into the
brain. Cadle was about 22 years of
age, and had resided- at Prineville
some eight or ten years.

An Unfortunate Accident.
Thursday morning George Keller,
proprietor of the Oregon Market, was
preparing to sod his team to the
slaughter house tor meat, and climbed
on a barrel to get a meat cover off a
high chest. The barrel slipped from
under him in some manner throwing
him to the floor, and he lit with all his
weight upon his right foot, wrenching
his leg in a way that both Bones
were broker, above the ankle. Mr.
Keller was taken at once to his resi
dence, where Dr. Doane reduced tbe
fracture, and the sufferer was made as
comfortable as circumstances would
permit.
