SATURDAY JANUARY 1. 1898
TO SUBSCRIBERS-
During the past two years of
extreme dull times the Tims
- Mountaineer has been sent reg
ularly to a great many who nr
doubt appreciate the paper, bul
who have not been called upoi'
for a settlement of their sub
scription. During those year?
we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
on delinquents, knowing that
money was difficult to get; but ,
now that times have improved
we feel that our patrons shoul
not only settle all arrearages
""but pay their subscription one
vear in advance. We have trust
ed many of you one and t
years, and feel that a return oi
trio fmn1iment is due. You
are therefore urgently requested
to pay up back subscriptions and
one year in advance, which- wil
entitle you to the Times-Moun
taineer and the Webfoot Planter
one year as a premium.

A Baker 'ity Young Lady Terribly Injured
by an Exploding Lamp.
The Baker City Democrat gives the
following account of an accident which
befell Miss Leontine seaton. a domes
tic esaployed ia tbe family of Walter
Baird, which occurred last Tuesday
night:
Miss Seaton was heating curling
tongs over a Rochester lamp last night
about 8 o'clock, when by some means
the chimney was knocked off and the
blaze flared up to the extent that the
became frightened and picked it uo
and ran out doors with it. In going
along the porch at the rear of the
house, she stepped into an open cellar
door and fell to the bottom. The top
came off the lamp and spilled oil over
her clothing, which took fire from the
burning wick. She ran up-tairs into
tbe bouse and called for Miss Maud
Whited, the only other occupant of
the house at the time, to bring a quilt
to smother the flames. Miss Whited
says she was too excited to find one,
and that Miss Seaton procured one
herself and ran out doors again to try
and put out the fire and that she stum
bled and fell into the cellar again.
The screams cf the two young ladies
attracted Sam White who was passing
the scene, and with his coat and the
snow, be managed to extinguish the
fire in her clothing and that in the
cellar.
lie Obeyed Order. '
A man named George Hooper arrived
here Thursday on passenger -train
No. 3, who had a badly disfigured face
and sorely bruised body, the result of
having too closely obeyed orders at
Grants.
Hooper says he has been prospecting
in the Greenhorn district the past
three years, and having run out of
funds and being a wreck physically de
termined to go to the soldier's home
at Roseburg to spend tbe winter. He
got to Arlington all right, and
was permitted to ride this ay eight
miles, when he was put off the train. He
walked from there to Grants, and con
cluded to take a free ride to The Dalles.
He succeeded - in getting on the
rear platform of No. 1 just as the train
started, and after it was in full motion
heard somebody hallooing "jump off,"
Hooper jumped, but hit the ground
harder than he expected, being knock
ed senseless, and was badly bruised
about the face and chest. The O. R.
if N- agent at grants put him on No.
3 and sent him to The Dalle for treat
ment. Tough wit the Kelatlres.
This item appeared among the soci
ety notes of last Sunday's Oregonian:
'A social event of the week was the
marriage of Mr. M. H. Kriebel and
Miss Myrtle Lewis, both of Corvallis.
The affair took place in a cozy cottage,
fitted up by tbe groom Sunday even
ing. The knot was tied by E. J.
Thompson, and lunch was served to
the wedding guests consisting only of
Immediate relatives."
It is difficult to believe that Mr.
Kriebel is a cannibal, and that he
served lunch consisting of his and his
wife's immediate relatives. It is also
perplexing to understand why the
groom should have chosen Sunday
evening for fitting up his cozy cottage.

Oelatlnou Substance Spread on Galvan
ized Iron Web.
"The first successful substitute for
glass," says an architect in the Wash
ington Times, "ia tectorium, a gelatin
ous composition. It has not appeared
in this country at all, as yet, but is
being introduced iu Europe.
"This gelatinous substance is given
rigidity by being spread on a galvan
ized iron web, which holds the sheet
in any desired shape, but does not ob
struct the passage of light. It is trans
lucent, but not transparent, and can be
stained in such a manner as to exactly
imitate stained glass.
"It cannot be broken nor softened by
tie raya of the sun, but is flexible and
easily bent into any desired shape.
When unstained it at first is yellow,
but on exposure to the sun it turns
white, at the same tame becoming hard
er and more durable.
"Like glass, it is a poor conductor of
heat. It is lighter than glass, and on
this account is well adapted for roofs.
Unless it can be made transparent it
can never hope -to entirely supersede
glass, but its cheapness and su
periority to glass an other direc
tions are securing for it extensive sales
for factory windows, skylights for hot
houses, roofing and like purposes."

It la Now Found Necessary to Preserve
the King of Beasts ia India.
British hunters of large game '- are
bitterly lamenting the gradual extinc
tion of lions in India.
They are no longer found there in
any number outside of one region, the
forest of Cir, in Kathiawar, says an
English exchange. They, have disap
peared from the hills of .Barda, the
country of Pajkot, and other places
which formerly enjoyed a high reputa
tion on account-of the abundance of
lion3 in them.
In the forest of Gir it is feared that
their extinction will not be long de
layed. Formerly few European hunt
ers dared to venture into -this place,
which was infested with fevers and
bandits. Now tha forest is being
cleared and fevers and bandits are dis-
Dppearing and with them the lions.
To prevent the total extinction of
these animals the durbar of Kathiawar
has prevented the hunting of them for

cropping out from a billside. Several
fine specimens of copper, apparently
almost pure, were fouud lying near. A
Walla Wallaassayer pronounced these
specimens nearly pure copper.
The ledgo is situated near a good
