RETURN OF VOLUNTEERS.
Nebraska and Utah Volunteers Arrive lu
San Francisco.
San Francisco, July 81 Disembark
ing of the First Nebraska infantry and
Utah light artillery from tbe transport
Hanoook today gave Sao Franoisoo a
second opportunity to welcome returning
volunteers from the Philippines. Every
available point from which a good view
of the parade oould be bad was occupied
by thousands of enthusiastic people. As
the regimental officers of tbe Nebras
kans turned into Market street a mighty
obeer was given. ' The band oame next
playing lively airs and then followed the
men, attired in campaign uniforms. The
soldiers looked well as they marobed
along and their soldierly appearance
brought forth much favorable comment.
Tbe men were cheered to tbe eoho as
tbey prcoceded along tbe line of mar oh
and tbe sight of the battle Hug of the
Nebraskans seemed to arouse all the en
thusiasm the spectators ouuld muster.
Tbe hospital oorps brought up the rear
of the Nebraska regiment, and seated in
wagons were several wounded men.
Then oame the Utah light artillery,
headed by Major Grant. The band fol
lowed and then oame tbe diminutive
mascot of the Utah boys, a little chap of
perhaps 13 years, attired in the uniform
of tbe regiment and oarrying a silver
flagon. Tbe Utah artillery followed and
tbe welcome tbey received was tally as
demonstrative as that given the Ne
braska boys. Everything was in readi
ness at tbe Presidio and they were com
fortably quartered. Tbey will remuin in
camp until mustered out.

Northern Pacific Hay Build a Line Down
the Colo inula.
The railroad surveys that are being
made down the north side of tbe Co
lumbia have been a mystery to every
body who is not In tbe confidence of the
"power behind the throne," but some
light has been thrown o tbe subjeot by
the visit of 0. 8. Mellen, president of
the Northern Peoiflo Oo., to Portland.
Tbe Telegram interviewed the railroad
magnate, and here is what it learned:
Mr. Mellen said the Northern Pacific
was not backing the pr iposed rond for
whiob Qerlinger and Sti.ploton are now
securing right-of-way. He " said the
Northern Paoifio had secured its right-of-way
down tbe Soeke and Columbia
rivers as far as Wallula, and had run
surveys futber down. He said tbe
Northern Faoifio would bnild only in
the event of its being shut off from
traffic arrangements with tbe O. R. & N.
Although Mr. Mellen did not say so
in so many words, be plainly indioated
that no power can shut tbe Northern
Paoifio out of Portland from tbe East.
That line's stub road from the Sound
is not adequate to handle the business
of a port like Portland, aod if tbe North
ern Paoifio cannot have tbe use of tbe
O R. & N, track, in order to get tbe
benefit of the easy grade down the Co
lumbia it will have a track of its own.
Mr. Mellen is considered a conservative
man, and his statements prove that be
is' fully alive to the importance ofQbing
business direct with Portland. ' His
main forte is not talk, but in aotion.
It is an undoubted fact that tbe other
lines, inoluding tbe Northern Paoifio,
are somewhat fearful of the Oregon
gateway being closed to them when tbe
Union Pacific gains cootrol of the O. R.
A N. next September. But if tbey feel
that way they are oareful not to express
it, because, as Mr. Mellen said:
"It is unlikely that the Union Pamflo,
whiob now praotically oontrols tbe O. It.
4 N. and will do so absolutely after the
September meeting, should close tbe
Oregon gateway against other hoes. It
would only cause direot oompeting lines
to be built to Portland, wbiob would
hurt its interest much more than mere
traffic arrangements snob as are now in
effi'Ot."
Horse Cannery Blarts Up.
The establisment at Linnton for
slaughtering borses and salting the
meat for exportation to Europe is again
in operation. This will be good news to
tbe owners of range borses wbo have
no other way of getting rid of tbem, ex
cept by letting them starve daring the
winter, Sheep and cattle men, wbo
find tbe grass growing shorter and
Hcarcer year by year, will also rejoice to
see tbe herds of useless horses disappear.
Even tbe sentimentalists who shudder
at the idea of slaughtering horses and
sending tbe flesh to the hungry meat
taters oi Europe, have come to tbe oon
olntion that it is less cruel to kill and
piekel a horse when he is fat and healthy,
than to allow him to die of lingering
htarvation in lbs winter oo the bleak ,1
storm-swept range, where he is looked
upon as a ooisnnne. The use of eleo
trioity as a motive power for street osrs
eigned tbe execution warrant nf the

automobile ha sealed and delivered it.

GOLD YIELD 14,000,000.
Year of Great Production in the Baker
City District.
Baker City Democrat.
As soon as the hottest of the summer
season is over there will certainly be a
still greater rush of prospectors and
prospective investors to the Baker City
gold fields. For mouths past tbe inter
est in our vast aud reliable gold seotion
may truthfully be said to be more in
tense than in any other yellow-metal
region in tbe Northwest. Spokane aud
Seattle men, particularly the former,
have taken a substantial interest in , our
miues.
Such splendidly paying work as has
been done by outside capital in opera
tion at the veteran Virtue mine, now
yielding 820,000 monthly, and at the
Bonanxa, whioh was sold none too high
at $1,000 000, baa attraoted the attention
of well-to-do men in mining oeoters of
the Old as well as tbe New World,
Those wbo are steadily looking over tbe
wide' world for paying investments in
miuing property have at least bad tbeir
eyes turned to a distriot wherein tbe
gold crop, by intelligently directed work,
is as anfailiug as the grain crop of this
state. .-..
Many Easterners and others have
decided to come to tbe Baker City gold
fields for a personal investigation
instead of leaving ' the ' matter
entirely in tbe bands of agents.' The
advent of these people, whose mouey
stands ready far investment whenever a
mining property is proved - valuable,
may be looked for just as soon as
summer's oppresive heat gives way to a
dooluess more agreeable for travelers.
By no means are atl these prospective
investors awaiting on tbe pleasure ol
tbe weather olerk. Soores of men,
whose sggregnte wealth oonnts up into
many millions, have been flocking to
this veritable Eldorado, so easily reaob
ed by modem lines of railway. Ibis
coming rush is not a mere guesswork
prediction. Scores of well- to-do men
have signified by letter of their intention
to come to our gold fields in tbe near
future, Another evidenos of our in
creasing prosperiiy in a mining way is
seeu in the iuoomiutc of a vast amount
of new and modern mining maobicery.
It is a most conservative estimate that
tbe output of $3,000,000 of lust 'year,
from that empire-like" region usually
termed in miuing journals and other
publications as the Baker City gold
fields, will this year aggregate not less
than $4,000,1)00. It is reasonable to
exoeot that, with an advance la tbe
next two years proportionate to that in
tbe same period of time past, Baker City
will have a population of over 10,000
and an annual gold output from her tribu
tary seotions of $6,000,000 or $8,000,000.
FRANK TURNER OUT ON BONDS

Commissioner Reed Has No Authority to Ex
tend tho Time, Which Is Oat August 10.
Weekly Astorian.
Fish Commissioner Ked was asked
yesterday if there was any constitutional
method whereby, in an emergency, the
fishing season could be extended. Tbe
answer was disoourngiug. "Only under
a legislative decree," said Mr. Read, "I
am sure I baveu't the power myself, and
to convene the legislature would ooet
fully as much as tbe profits that would
be realized from the salmon catch."
"If it were found desirable to continue
nftrtr August 10, oould you not be sent
away and so relieve any embarrasment?"
"But I won't be sent away,"exolaimed
Mr. Reed, "I am going to stay right here
on the ground."
"What is the fine for violating the
fishing ordinance?"
"From fifty to one thousand dollars."
"There are fourteen doys left yet, Mr.
Reed. Do you still ixpect a profitable
issue!" ' -
"I look for two good runs yet."
"The output to date has been very
slack, has it not?"
"Not so much as has been generally
represented. It must be remembered
that tbe ond storage people have rednoed
the cannery receipts very materially."
"More so than last year?"
"A great deal more. The Schmidt
Brothers, (or instance, packed at Fort
land last season. Now tbey are packing
here, and I understand that jn one day
last week tbey receipted for 40 tons of
Salmon."
"If you were vested with tbe authority
would you extend the season, Mr. Reed?"
"No sir, I wouldn't extend it one hour.
There sre fellows on tbe river who
would take the last fish if tbey positively
knew tbey would never get another one.
Tbe fishermen should not forget that
they as well es other business people
must now and then have offseasons, I
have been on tbe river for 25 years, and
I recall more than one period when con
ditions were a great deal worse than
now. In 1877 there was little if auy
fishiog "
"Whot would be your estimate of this
season's shortage?"
" Well, there are two weeks to consider
yet. Already the paok is fully fifty per
oent of last season. I might say ten
per oent aud the 'CSunery" receipts from
fifteen to twonty per oeut. This is con
ditional that tbe run is fairly good from
now until August 10. Approximating
that fifty per oeut is already packed, it
win lie pnssioie to pact fully Half as
much again, and muybe a little more."
'Then you feel that there should be no
serious apprehension as yet?"
"None to speak of. I am told that last
night cDe boat caught a too and another
one very neurly a ton. If this isn't good
fishing, I don't know where you'll find
11. But suppose tbey do miss a few now.
The fish will spawn and thev will fiet
tbem next year just the same. I don't
imagine many of tbe fishermen will go
away."
"Is the law violated to any oxtuut?"
"It is complied with vory honorably.
i'he law fixes tbe closing hour at 12
o'clock noon, August It). After that
time there will be very little fishing
done. A few may fish for their own
personal nse, but if they attempt to
market any ontohes they will quickly be
spotted."
Mr. Reed will leave this morning for
Orsuts Pass, in Southern Oregon, to be
absent for three or tour days.
THE APPENDIX.
Foreign Bodies That are Sometimes Found

Dr. Charles Phelps reported this case
before the Rooiety of Alumni of Bellevue
hospital. Us stated, says tbe New York
Medical Journal, that the attack had
begun eight days bafore, but tbe patient
bad not oome noder bis observation un
til three days before thn operation, A
small absoess bod been found aud evac
uated. A perfectly smooth muss, fooling
like a kidney, bad been brought into the
wound, and bad baen found to ooutsin
the appendix. Within this appendix
was a minute piece of bone. The Irri
tation prodaoed by this foreiga body
bad resulted in the production of this
mass of inflammatory exutate. Home
surgeons, he said, maintained that tbey
bad never found a foreign body lu their
cases of appendicitis; he bad found tbem
quite frequently, but tbis was tbe most
minute one that he hod met with.
Dr. Robert T. Morris said tbat usually
things which were oalled grape seeds,
eta., proved, on searching microsoopioul
and obetnioal examination, to be ordi

Money Making.

secret of money making depends obiefly
upon five things: Pasb, 'tqriareuess,'
olearbsadsdasss, economy aud rigid ad-
herenoe to tbe rule of not overworking.
Too mnoh work is worse than no woik
at all. It undermines tbe constitution
and unfits a mn mentally snd physi

day of steady work is as muob as aoy
man no matter how robust ought to
to attempt. In addition to these things
avoid being too grasping; better make a
small profit by sure mesos than attempt
to maks a larger one by uooertuin and
risky measures,"
