The majority of the delegates to the republican convention on Saturday next mt tniretheir veRterdav and after some dlscU38lon aeclaed to select a com. nuuee vu wait im ivinyor viuauy. aiic committee called on the mayor and told him that it was the general feeling of the delegates that he should receive the nomination for the next term of the .nayoralty. Mr. Crosby at once ex- pressed his pleasure that this was the case, and stated that he was, and al ways had been, a republican, and that he would feel glad and proud to accept the republican nomination If it were tendered to him. The committee then adjourned, and, at another meeting of delegates held later in the day, made their report. It was then immediately decided that the whole delegation should enter the convention on Satur- day and re-nominate Mayor Crosby for tne pOBiUon he has so well and hon orably filled. Speaking to the commit- tee, after his acceptance of their pro- posal, he said that he had long desired to see the republican party united once more for the general good of the com munity. James Anderson, keeper of the Fort Canby lighthouse, came up to town yesterday. He brought with him care- fully wrapped up, a small piece of dirty stick and an insignificant branch of seaweed, but both the seaweed and the stick were thickly powdered with Pure Sld- The weed or "Irish Moss Blanc Mange," as all old settlers know ik htvoi the keln and the m - .ua n th viMnitv nf Fnrt ranhv -" " ' - ' - " ' and 18 a common article of food.

Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard. tered grains of gold, and on some of the pieces of seaweed he bJbo found traces of the precious metal. Tracing the cause of this strange discovery to its source, it appears that In the spring when the swell around the lighthouse Is not very Strong, the black sand that abounds in that vicinity had been wash ed over the kelp continuously, leaving these gold deposits behind on the sea weed. Mr. Anderson says that he has found a gold mlnev but under present conditions it is absolutely impossible to abstract the gold from the black sand as no reducing apparatus has yet been discovered that will do it. It has long been known that there Is gold In all the sand on the Lower Columbia, but up to the present time, though trials have been repeatedly made, no known process Is keen enough to seVer the metal fro mi it.
