IN ALASKA.
A conefpondint writing to the East
Portland Packet, from Alaska, says:
"In all Ala.ka them are found no
snnkes, no fleiu, no bed bugs, no ants,
no honra flies and no contented people,
except the original inhabitants. Con
siderable ore is beinj? packed from the
ledges in the surrounding country and
shipjHHl Mow to reduction works. It
comes from the small ledges which
are of high grade. New ledges are so
frequently struck that they cease to
excite comment. The laborers seem
to be all employed. Wages, however,
aro not huh. They range I think
from .J,;30.00 per month to $2.50 ier day
ami bonid. Indians are principally
employed. Most of the vegetables
shipped here come from California. 1

the Union millr-, of Union, Oregon! my
wife pionounced it excellent."
IT WAS NEWS TO HIM.
uonfKieranie innieuitv was exneri- i
j enced in obtaining jurors, this week,
in the case ot State against Lemon,
charged with the killing of "Curly 1
Hill" near La Grande, a few weeks ago.
Among others examined as to their
qualifications for jurors, was a mer-
chant of LngGraudc who stated that ho
didn't know anything about the oc- j
! currence, hadn't heard of it and con
j i-eqiicntly couldn't have any opinion i
about it. As the killing occurred !
u. as l ie ki uinir occurred
I within a few miles ot La Grande, and
I the coroner's inquest was held there,!
I and as the local papers contained full
accounts of it, and as according to
their statement, the town was "in a
fever of excitement," it seem lemark
ably strange. It is quite evident, how
ever, that the aforesaid "fever" was
not catching.
WHAT AILS HIM?
Yesterday a prominent young man
of Union brought us a poem for publi
cation. He said it was his first attempt
and he had written just as he felt, but
did not know whether it would strike
a responsive chord in tlie hearts of our
readeisor not. It is descriptive of the
passion of love, and starts oll'l.ko this:

HOW THE EDITOR FARED.
An editor died and slowly wended
his way down to where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said: "For many
years thou hast hoi no the blame for
errors that the printer made in the
papers. The paper has gone, alas!
for 2, but the 2 has often failed to
come in. The printers have bedeviled
thee for wages when thou did not
have a cent to thy name. Men have
taken the paper without paying for it,
and cursed thee for not getting up a
better paper. Thou hast been called a
dead beat by the conductors when
thou hast shown thy annual pass to
their envious gaze. All these things
thou hast borne in silence.
Thou i
canst not enter heie." And he fired
him. As he did he murmured to him
self: "Heaven's his homo, and be
sides, if Ave let him come in here ho
would have been continually dunning
his delinquent subscribers, and thus
create discord in my kingdom.-Mon-
onuneo River Laborer.
DRY YOUR ERUIT.
Evory farmer who has any surplus
fruit will do well to dry it for the local
market. The prico of all dried fruits
lias irrentlv advanced in tlu hist, fmv
days and a partial failure of the crop
below will render the supply scarce
and prices high until .next season
Till!
price in Portland has advanced from i
two to seven cents per pound on dried i
fruits, and this with the freight, rates
of a cent and a half will leave a good
margin of profit to t ho home producer
Prime dried apples are quoted in Port'
land at 11 cents and peaches, prunes, 1
and apricots in proportion, wholesalo ,
lots, so it is evident that retail rates j
will be sufficiently high to make fruit i
drying a profitable business. Tho lo-
cU market ought to bo supplied by
J' products on general principles,

That otfr money lenders are offering
better inducements to borrowers than
thoae of any other place, is evidenced
by the faet'tlmt applications are being
received from every section of tho
county. Not less limn a dozen appli
cations for loans have been made by
parties living in and uround the vi
cinity ol La Graudi, during the past
week. The time for exacting exorbi
tant interest i pat, uud Uioeu finding
it necMjary to horiow, should come to
