tracts From a Letter Received hy
toguat Bnchler. From F. W. L. Sklbbe
In a letter received toe ay by Augus
Buchler, from F. W. L. Skibbe who is
now located at Skaguay he states tha
he and his brother arrived all rigb
a id immediately started out to loot:
for a location. It was imperative that
should do this as there are no ware
houses there to store supplies in, and
at the dock they charge a dollar a ton
for twenty-four hours storage. The
vtlue of property is very high, owner-
asking from one to five thousand do)
1 trs for a lot 50 by 50. Mr. Skibbt
was fortunate enough to secure tbe
lease ef a.lot next to the post office, and
immediately erected a tent on it. Tbe
most of the tents used for business
purposes have glass fronts and sash
doors, which make them look quite re
spectable. Lumber can be had for
fifty dollars a thousand, but Is very
poor. As soon as Mr. Sklbbe com
pleted the tent building he rented it
for one hundred dollars a month. He
then erected another tent In which he
is now running a hotel, and bar. He
states he Is doing very well, but it is
no place for a poor man to go, as com
mon labor is very cheap. Supplies are
quite reasonable, but the ' expense
begins as soon as jou strike tbe
trail. Horses and mules are worth
from $125 to $200 and hard to get at
that. Dyea is not to bexom pared with
Skaguay, Mr. Skibbe fys, as at th.
former place there are but few accomo
dations and no harbor whatever while
at Skaguay there is an excellent land
ing and all accomodations necessary,
although everything is very much
crowded.
He is afraid the rush is over and
that in a year from now, that country
will be nearly deserted. Skaguay is a
pretty tough place he says, and dance
balls, saloons and places of that sort
are doing a big business. A great
deal of shooting is going on, but with
few serious results. Mr. Sklbbe has
see- quite a number of people from
here and tbe majority of them are sat
isfied to stay there, although they say
it is a good deal different from living
at home.
Fox, Bawen and Klein are atlale
Bennett. Chas. Kohler is oacklng to
the summit and making from five U
seven dollars a day. Estebenet is in
the ltundry business at Skaguay and
is doing firs rate. Chas. Stone has
purchased a mule, anc" when last seen
was t wing tbe latter ' up the trail
towards tbe summit. Miller does not
like the place and is coming borne in
the near future. Walker the plum'
mer is there, but there is not much
doing in his line of business.
Tbe weather at the time Mr. Skibbe
wrote as all that could be desired,
but it has been cold there, and a great
many deaths have resulted from ex
posure. The scare about the epidemic
at Skaguay has nearly died out. . In
the communication Mr. Skibbe re
membered a good many of bis friends,
and among others sent his best wishes
to tbe Mountaineer.
We ho e the gentleman will be suc
cessful in bis enterprise, and with
good health and a fat pocketbook, re
turn to our land of sunshine and peach
blossoms. .

Fern Lodge Celebrated l Fonrtn Anniver
sary. Last evening tbe ladies of Fern
Lodge, Degree of Honor, entertained
the Workmen and their families at
Fraternity hall, the occasion being tbe
celebration of the fourth anniversary
of the institution of the lodge, which
is one of the most popular orders in
tbe city. The hall was comfortably
filled, and the program rendered was
both entertaining and instructive.
The exercises began wi'.h a welcome
flee by the Werleln elee club, follow
ed by an address by Mrs. M. E. Briggs,
chief of honor for the jurisdiction of
Oregon. In her remarks. Mrs. Briggs
gave a brief outline of Fern lodge from
its organization to tbe present, then
dwelt at some length upon the gen
era features of the order and what It
is doing in the jurisdiction. Tbe next
number was a vocal trio by Messrs.
Snipes, Frank and Barrett, followed
with a duet by Mrs. Stephens and Mis.
Varney. Then Master Fred Waud
gave a comical recitation that created
much laughter. The program con
cluded with a vocal trio by Mrs Var
ney, Mrs. Groat and Mrs. Sampson.
J. H. Zane, editor of the Oregon Re
porter, the official organ of the state,
being present, made a few pleasing re
marks, after wbich a lunch of sand
wiches, cake and coffee were served,
and the entertainment closed with a
social Qance.
An Oregon Cariosity.
A few days since a petriflei log from
tbe Fossil country was received he
and shipped to Omaha, where it will be
placed in tbe Oregon exhibit during
tbe coming exposition. The log is 10
feet long and weighed 6,600 pounds.
It was solid petrified wood and ap
peared to be a section of a pine tree.
Tbe log was in a splendid state of pres
ervation, and will make a fine exhibit
iloog with tbe many other curiosities
from this state.

hold-up of the legislative session of
1897, and asked that it be adopted, but
tbe convention was in no mood for
such action, and a motion was made to
refer the resolution to the county cen
tral committee. Mr. Dufur vigorously
epposed the ' motion, stating that he
wanted to put the republicans of
Wasco county on record as opposing
the nefarious conduct of Oregon's leg
islators. . Mr. Dufur, however, was in a hope
less minority in this case, and could
not raise any enthusiasm for his reso
lution. It was no go; tbe majority of
the convention would not condemn
the representatives of their party for
their acts at Salem in 1897, and the
motion to refer, the resolution carried
by a unanimous vote, except that of
Mr. Dufur, which was cast in the nega
tive. From this action it would seem that
the republicans of Wasco county con
sider the action of the representatives
in the legislature justifiable that the
end (the defeat of Mitchell) justified
the means and the delegates were
not willing to censure the antl-Mit-cheilites
for their action.

Geo. L.Moon writes back from Sbeep
Camp on tbeChilcoot trail in Alaska,
under date of March 22d, that he and

Madrid, April 7. 12:35 p. m. After
the meeting of the 'cabinet and Issue

ous announcement, there was much
excitement and bellicose talk in the
city. Tbe cafes were crowded with
people, all eagerly discussing the situ

utterances against the United States.

CAT IN A PIPE ORGAN.
Caaaaal Experience of Hotel Cat
la a Music Box.
- A few nights ago, when the big aeo
lian at the Great Northern began its
usual evening programme it didn't
seem to work just right, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. The aeolian was doing
its level best to play the wedding march
from "Lohengrin," but made an awful
mess of it.
The first strain, which everybody re
members goes "Rum-ium-te-tum," was
followed by "meouw-wow-ow." All the
crowd looked up at the organ and tried
to locate the spot where the unusual ac
companiment came from. The next
strain of the march was followed bv a
screeching yowl that was heard clear
up to the G floor. People at dinner
dropped their knives and forks and
looked nervously at each other and
then at the doors and windows. Just as
the third yell came out of the aeolian
Proprietor Eden was seen on the second
floor stealthily moving toward the in
strument with a ladder in his hand. Mr.
Eden crept up close to the aeolian and
listened for a moment. Then he put his
ladder against the right side aud slowlv
made his way to the top. When he got
up ne reached over and put his hand
down inside of the E flat pipe. There
were no results at first. Then he stood
on tiptoe and shoved his arm to the
shoulder down the mouth of the pipe.
Then followed n terrible rnwli no nnrl
scratching, but the colonel nulled and
with a noise like the departure of a
tight cork from the neck of a beer bot
tle be pulled the hotel cat out of the
pipe and carried it down to the bag
gage room, where it belongs.
JUSTIFIABLE STEALING.
WlT Kentucky Judge Bet Aalda) a
Verdict of a Jury.
"I heard the late Judee John R.
Grace, of the court of appeals of Ken
tucky, set aside the verdict ol a jury
once uu.; circumstances that to iny
mind did him infinite credit," said Rep
resentative John S. Rhea, of that state,
according to the Washington Post.
it seems that a poor woman, who
was on the verge of starvation and who
was the sole support of four little chil
dren, went into a neighbor's smoke
house and purloined a piece of bacon.
ine proof was positive and the iurv
reluctantly returned a verdict of guilty.
nen tne nmiing of the iurv was read
Judge Grace, wlho at that time pre
sided over the Fourteenth judicial dis
trict, rising to his feet, said in the most
emphatic tones:
" 'The court orders that the verdict
in this case be set aside, and I want to
declare here that in all cases where an
unfortunate woman is on trial for steal
ing food, taken to keep her offspring
from starving, it will require 13 men to
convict her of the crime in- this court.
The defendant is discharged from cus
tody.' "The announcement was greeted
with applause, from the spectators, and
the general sentiment was that Judge
Grace had acted not only as befitted
a chivalrous man, but that his ruling
was right. Theft to keep innocent ba
bies from perishing of hunger can
scarcely be called a crime."

Victoria has not been exempt from the
taint of insanity which is hereditary
in her honse, and at the death of her
husband, 33 years after their mar
riage, she continued for several years
in retirement, which was not wholly
that of mourning, for during -that time
she was subject' to hallucinations. One
hallucination took possession of her
every time she alighted from a car
riage, says the Chicago News.
Jio one but a sturdy old Scotchman.
John Brown, a footman, was able to
convince her that she was not stepping
into the deepest abysses, and it was
his strong and reassuring hand and
"Na, na, yer majesty, there is na goolf
there," that would quiet her fears. He
was- during -those years a special at
tendant, and the ignorance of the masses
as to the real condition of Victoria
gave rise, to the "John Brown scandal,"
wherein the names of the two were
coupled.
Her mental malady has reappeared at
intervals, taking the form of despond
ency and moroseness, but as years have
intervened, since her great grief she
has been more and more free from it
touch.

There is not a prouder young" father
on the South side, and yet so absent
minded is he that his wife scarcely con
siders him a fit guardian for his son and
heir when on the public highway.
On a recent Sunday, however, the
whole family was under engagement to
spend the afternoon with some friends
who wanted to see the baby, and also
display a new book of engravings in
which the young father was greatly in
terested. A severe headache prevent
ed the mother of the finest baby in the
world from accompanying the party,
and she saw, with many misgivings, her
liege lord start off wheeling the baby in.
its carriage. She called him back three
times for further directions and sup
plemented them by others until her
voice was lost in the distance. Then she
went indoors to conjure up terrific
visions of what might happen if Henry,
absorbed in thought, forgot to propel
the carriage across a crowded cross
ing or allowed his offspring to smoth
er himself in the folds of his own drap
ery. At five o'clock- this pleasant train of
thought, which had greatly aggravated
her headache, was interrupted by the
appearance of Henry, who, with many
gestures indicative of a desire for si
lence, wheeled the carriage into Its
usual nook in the hall.
5h-h, he's asleep," he whispered.
"He's the best child I ever saw. Never
whimpered once on the way home and
slept most of the time I was there on
the sofa in the parlor while I looked at
the engravings."
"O, Henry, dear! Tm so glad to hear
it. Now IU not be afraid to trust you
with him again, and do answer that
telephone. I'm afraid It will waka
him." . .
A smothered exclamation; brought
her to his side in time to. hear him
shriek: Tbe baby! Why, he'a here
in his carriage."
"No, he isn't," came the reply over the
wire. "He is on our parlor sofa, cry
ing with all his lungs. Do come at once
and get him, for he seems to be hungry,
and the encyclopaedia doesn't tell what
to feed him, and "
"Then, Henry, whose child have you
brought home instead of mine?"
shrieked his wife, hysterically.
With one accord they made a dive for
the baby carriage with its cfilent occu
pant. There, under the fluffiest of para
sols, lay the new book of engravings,
with the embroidered coverlid careful
ly arranged about it.
Since that unfortunate occasion he
never takes his son out for the short-
est distance without maternal encort.
