Editor Okkoon Scoi'T: A new factor teems to have been thrown into the speakership fight, and it is by no means impossible that tho representatives elected as members of the fanner's alliance and those elect ed as demorats, but who tiro members of the alliance, may, by combining their votes, succeed in naming the next speaker. Already Mr. Crisp has hud notice terved on him by the four HlliHtico democrat.- elected from Geotgia that unless he will endorse the Ocala platform they will not vote j for him. Whether these gentleman I are acting independently or in concert I with the other alliance men elected to the next house is the conundrum I that is worrying the political prophets ! just now. I A democrat thus figures how the men j of alliance sympathies can, unless ' soiiin one of the candidates shall have j an overwhelming majority at the start, name the speaker: "It is as sunied that there tire in the neighbor hood of forty members who favor the alliance- and that they will all go into tho democratic caucus lor nomination of officers of the house. If that be true, till they have got to do is to keep tboir votes together until the man they want nominated shall get votes enough with theirs added to make a majority of the caucus, and presto: tho thing is done, by easting their votes for that man." That is tin as peet of the case that few people seem to have thought of until now, and it is causing no little uneasiness among tho friends of the various candidates. Washington has been unusually quiet this week, owing to various causes, but it wasn't so quiet that no attompt was made to launch a presi dential boom. The booms this week bv a coincidence were for a full ticket for each party, and till four of the gentleman named have been promi nently mentioned as presidential can didates. The Southern democrats are credited with having launched the Gorman and Gray ticket and the soldier republicans are said to bo re sponsible for the proposition to mako the republican ticket Blaine and Alger, and it is given out here that the scheme has Gen. Alger's consent. Re publicans sfiy, but democrats dony it, (hat the meeting of the executive com mittco of tho National Association of Democratic Clubs, which has been called next week in New York city, is to be held in tho interest of the Gor man and Gray boom. The chairman of that committee, Representative Wilson, of West Virginia, has hereto fore been classed as a Cleveland man, but of course t here is nothing to preveHt his changing his mind if he wants to. For some time past there has been considerable talk about the amount of money in circulation per capita in the United States, therefore the tables prepared by tho troasury department giving the exact figures may be said to fill a "bug folt want". In 1800 the amount per capita in circulation was SlU.Sfi; in 1805 it was $20.82; in 1885 it was $23.02 and on the first of Jau nary of the present year it reached the highest amount in our history, $2-1.10. Since then it has beon i educed by the heavy shipments of gold to foreign countries, and on the first of August it was .f2n..'17, or nearly back to what it was in 1885. It i amuiing to hear the Ohio poli ticians of both parties, who drop into Washington constantly, talk about the prospect of thoir respective parties. Both republican and democrat will atstire you that thorn isn't tho sligheet doubt of tho election cf their tickot, and in the courte of a five minute con vonuttion both of thorn will admit that tho farmer's Rllianoo is the real umpire in tho contest and that whichever side is favored by that organization will win.

I'm: Valley, August 10, 1801. Haying well along in Pine. Weather quite warm again after a few cool days. Mrs. Holies, wife of Sheriff Holies, has been visiting her relatives in Pine. Mrs. R. 11. Boyles has letuined from Cove where she has been for some weeks visiting relatives. Quite a party of young folks con template visiting Pish Lake. No doubt the grasshoppers, frogs and other fish bait will have to stiller. Miss Edna Koger, of Cove, has been keeping her cousin, Miss Gracie Boyles, company during the stay of Mrs. Boyles in Cove. Miss Edna is a very pleasant young lady and is making many friends during her stay here. Born. To the wife of W. D. Robin son, July 111, 1891, a young alliance man, weight near 10 pounds. Mother and child doing well. Dorris' friends have been quite uneasy about him, but think now he is all O. K. The officers of Pine Lodge, No. 91, I. O. 0. F., were recently installed by J. A. Denney, District Deputy Giand Muster. They were A. R. Stalker, N. G.; 11. 1). Landrum, V. G.; J. A Denney, Sec. ; f. N. Proflit, Trcas. Services were held at the grove near Halfway on the 9th inst., after which there was a basket dinner. After dinner the people proceeded to the eieek where Miss Edna KoKor, of Cove, und Mr. Archie Boyles, of Half way, were baptized by Rev. Boyles of the Christian church. Birch, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs A. P. Greener, was laid to rest in tin cemetery hero on the Ifl.it tilt., after a brief illness. Wo do not know his exact age but, near 10 we believe Mr. and Mrs. Greener have the sym pathy of many friends in their sorrow Mr. Greener has been quite ill since, but wo learn is improving. Died. In Pine, August 9, 1891, after an illness of near two weeks, James Nicholson, aged about !10 years Wj aro informed that Mr. Nicholson's illness was probably the result of in juries received by being thrown from a horse, but do not know tho purticu lars. Ho leaves a wife and brother to mourn his loss. Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Purscl, of Union, visited their relatives, Mr. and Mrs. J A. Denney, during the week. They also received and paid a flying visit to their fricndH, Air. and Mrs. F. A. Daw son, and their "bachelor" friends, the Graham Bros., and enjoyed a good, square meal such as "Johu" and "Jim" and "Al" and "Bill" know how to prepare under tho shade of the trees. John and Jim aro the cooks, however, as that is tho penalty they have to pay for being "bachelors" and right well have thoy learned tho art. Mr. and Mrs. Ptirsel have not visited tho valley for three years, and note considerable improvement. On Sunday last as tho wagon con taining Ellis Lccp, wife and babe, Miss EHio Reed, Mr. J. A. Dcnnoy nnd Master Walter Stalker was returning from tho baptising, the hind wheel of tho wagon ran over the end of a heavy pole, which was leaning against a fence, in such a manner as to lling the opposite end of the tolo with great force and speed across the wagon. Tho cry uttered by MrH. 1), who was riding on horsebuck behind the wagon, or the whirring noise of the polo, or something, caused Mr, D to fling up his right arm, ami dodge, and ho caught tho descending pole on his arm and bhotildor, breaking its force some what, hut btill receiving it severe blow on tho head, Matter Walter Htalker barely miuil it. Hud the jtolu struck any of tlio liiiiiutiw, miuhuokod, on the tujiiplti, tlioy would undoubtedly liuvu law 1 1 killed or tonoimly injured.

Hurrah for Union, the woolen mill and water works! The crops in Antelope are about the average this year. Thay Vowell is still weak from his late attack of fever. i The base ball team is to play next Sunday at Telocaset. Mr. J. S. Hinckley will start up his ' header, Thursday, cutting barley. Wallace Hinckley has let. a contract to Mr. Georgo Cltinie to sink a shaft on his Little Nell mine this fall Mr. W. H. Huffman and Mr. Joseph Vowell aro busy stacking their hay They have fine hay crops this year. The Antelope hotel has twenty-two boarders. It keeps the latlies hopping to provide meals for such a erowtl. One of the telegraph operators at Telocaset depot is a regular shorty; ho is only five feet high. He is little in size and Little by name. Mr. Titus, of Raymo Flat, is cutting Mr. Frank Levitt's crop of hay, on contract. Thoy aro having good crops this year on Raymo Flat. Ono of Mr. Hulick's four-horse teams from Union passed up tho canyon yesterday, loaded with lumber and provisions for the Telocaset mines. Tho wrecking outfit caino through Pylo canyon yesterday, bound for a wrecked passenger train on tho Union Pacific railroad near Pleasant valley Mr. Wallace C. Hinckley has an other lino crop this season. He will thresh about 2,000 bushels of fine, plump, brewing barley. Ho will ship it to Milwaukee to bo manufactured into beer. Tho Diorks prospect over in the Hinckley mining district is looking lino. They aro down twenty feet and have five feet of free milling quart?, between tho walls that averages $10 a ton. They will ship some ore, soon, for a working test. A party, consisting of Mr. antf Mrs. Frank Levitt and Mrs. Joseph Yowell, wont from Pylo canyon last week on a pleastiro trip to the Eagle creek moun tains. They had great sport. Mr. Levitt killed a largo doer. Mrs. Levitt caught a salmon weighing twenty pounds. Good for Pylo canyon I There is at present more water in Catherine creek than there is in Pow der river at tho mouth of Antelope. The irrigation of the wool grass lands of Powder river absorbs tho water of Powder river. Tho town of Union will always have a magnificent water power, for thoro is no farming land up Catherino creek to steal away her water power. Union is bound to mako a manufacturing town. Stick a pin in this: Cleveland and Blaine will be the presidential candi dates of tho two great parties in 1892. And James G. Jilaino will bo tho next president of tho United States of America if tho mugwumps, those Bon diet Arnolds of tho republican party, don't turn traitors again. If thoy do, tho party should hang every mother's son of them higher than Qilroy's kite ever Hew. I do not believe tho governor of Utah and tho commissioners appointed to assemble in Salt Lake City in Sep tember will ever succeed in getting their bill, ceding tho arid and sage- briirh lands to tho states and territo ries for tho purposo of reclamation, through congress. It will bo a move in tho right direction, however, for it will agitato tho question and Uncle Sam will probably reclaim the lauds himself. George Ashby emtio near drowning lutely in Snako river. Ho sunk three times. Some men launched a boat and when they succeeded in reaching him and hauled him on board ho was blue in tho face, He shot himself, recently, while monkeying with a gun, Don't ho discouraged, George; you will get thoro after awliilo if you keep on.

Now and iheoyoti will seo one ljing on its side in a farm yard, a mournful relic of bygone days. How the country has changed since the old freighting days! The advent, of tho iron horse has revolutionized things. It is a gte t civili.er. It. has brought out from the east a difl'eient class of people and has greatly changed tho habits of most of us old timers. Why, even the squaws are now wearing shoes and stockings, nod drawers! It heats the devil I I often wonder where all of the old stage drivers have disap peared to. MORE ABOUT THE FLOOD. An Answer to " Porus" " Artlclo of Last Weitlt, by n. C. Emery. Editor Okkoon Scout: In your issue of the Kith inst. my friend "Porus" give quite a disserta tion trying to prove that there was onco a flood, or, in other words, trying to prove that the atmosphere is or has been capable of suspending wator enough to precipitate to the eaith and cover tho whole mass to the depth of near two miles and a half, or above the mountains of Ararat. Ho once cited mo to tho 101 Psalm for my benefit, by which he thought to show me that the Bible and science did not disagree. And then of my explanation he says I twisted the questions around tt btiit my opinion, and then with his pomp ous grandiloquence of rhetoric he says: "Any schoolboy can eomo a great deal nearer giving tho meaning of these verses than he has done." Then "Porus" asks for an explanation of tho 9th verso that it may tally with the others. Then ho asks the ques tion, "Is it a scientific truth that a bound must be set to tho clouds, so they will not again cover tho earth?" I fail to see any relevancy in that question, and will only say that many a "schoolboy" can ask questions that some wise "divines" are unable to an swer. 1 vvjll now assume my first position, that the atmosphere receives its moisture anil raiuclotids from the earth and seas, under proper condi tions of heat and cold. Now that be ing the case, I must of necessity ask "Porus" how enough water could arise from tho seas that by its precipitation or return would increase the wholo mass of tho seas to the depth of two and a half miles moro than before it was lifted up? and also above tho dry land too? Perhaps some of his "schoolboys" can ilguio out tho prob lem. "Porus" stiyn my last words in my last writing aro a denial of the possibility of a flood as recorded in the Bible. 1 accept the allegation; and "Porus" will have to piodttco strongor evidence to convince mo (as well as very many others) than quotations from legendary and traditional lore, or what Smith thinks, or what Ho- worth judges. Of Mr. Howorth "Po rus" says "he casts asido all of the Book of Genesis that precedes tho creation of man; that he collects not only tho diluvial traditions, etc.," and then declares that in hid "judgment" tho whole points unmistakably "to a wide-spread calamity involving a flood on a great scale." Tho Johnstown flood was one of largo and terrible calamity; also the sinking of tho At lantlio was ono on u great scalo, but neither of them givo any evidence in proof of tho Bible Hood. Lastly "Po rus" quotes from Lanormant who says "no religious or cosmogorio myth pre sents such a character of universality." I think Lanormant must huvo over looked tho religious myth of un end less hell which stands co-equal with the flood, and which is but a support to it, both of which myths tiro being relegated to oblivion as fust us tho minds of those who are now thinking fur thoiiuelves progress: along tho path of reason. I will nay hut IHtle more now, only that I will ha obliged to "Ponu" if ho will point mo to one MUiteueo in hU dlaaurlutlou (hut given any proof of tint Bible Hood.
