Item of General Interest Oleaned From tlie Thriving: I'aclfln Stnte. New Telephone Line. Tho tolephone lino from Langlois, Curry county, to Uandon, which waa romplotod last week, ia now in good working order, and Langloia lias for tho first timo tolephone communication with all the important points in the county. Poles are on tho ground for the extension of the line to Port Or ford, and poles aro being cut and distributed for the farther extcntsiona to Weddor burn and Gold Beach. It ia supposed that tho line wilt be extended to Eu reka, Col., and when tho gap between IioBoburg and Myrtle Point ia closed up next summer, tho coast country will no longer be cut off from communica tion with the outside world. Wcu Obld Ore. Al, Ed and Frank Geiser have brought from their Bonanza mine to Baker City, Or., 1,300 ounces of gold, valued at $21,700, the reault of a 26 day run thia month of a 20-etamp mill. The ownera of the Bonanza have given it out that it is thoir intention to in crease the number of stamps in tlio quartz mill to GO or more. It ia un derstood thia improvement will be made in the near future, or as soon as tho spring opens. The Bonanza has an unlimited amount of splendid mill ing ore. and, with the mill enlarge ment, this Baker mine will probably become ono of the largest steady gold producers in the Northwest. Damage Wa Slight. A dispatcli from Monroe, Or., says: The recent frosts did not do as much damage to frnit in that section as was generally supposed. Prunes do not seem to be hurt to any extent, and in the worst cases the operators of the orchards claim that not more than 10 per cent of the trees are injured, and theao only to a slight degree. Peach trees fared worse than others, while Petite prunes came second on the list. Apples are not injured at all in this immediate locality. Ilrulallty at Sea. The Bailors of the American ship Erskine M. Phelps, which arrived at San Francisco a few days ago from Bal timore, have brought charges of in human conduct against Captain Gra ham and First and Second Officers Bailey and Moye. The men told a pitiful story of starvation and cruelty, and many of the sailors show the marks of beatings, tho mates being the prin cipal aggressors in tho the beatings. Want a Factory Moved. The Coquillo city council has for warded a proposition to G. W. Peek, proprietor of the broomhandle factory, that if he will move the mill north 30 feet from ita present location, they would give him a five years' leaae on the land. The main reason for tho council asking him to do so is to give more room for getting to and from the new wharf, which will be badly ham pered if the mill is not moved. Orders From the Bast. The manager of the Pendleton woolen mills has recently returned from a very successful trip in the in terests of the millB, which took him over noarly the whole United States. Tho big houses of John Wanamaker, and Arnold, Constable & Co., and othors of aucb high standing, placed orders for blankets, stating that tho Pendleton mills have no competitors in that line of goods. Or the Miocene Ferlod. A fow months ago J. Bagley, of Air lie, brought to Independence, Or., some fossilized teeth which were found near Airlie. They were sent to Professor Condon, of the stato university, who pronounces them "sharks" teeth of tho miocene period." Other fossils sent are "a miocene sboll, of the family naticodo," and "a dentallium shell, of the miocene peiiod." Governor Rogers' Appointments. Governor Rogers has recommended Quincy A. Brooks, Samuel Haddock and L. B. Smith, nil of Port Townseud, to constituo the board of health for the collection district of Port Townsond. Tho governor has appointed as trustoes for the Cheney normal school J. J. Brown nnd J. N. Allen, of Spokane. Tho third trustee, E. E. Dempsey, ia also of Spokane, giving hat city the entire board. Stock In Had Condition. Cattlo, sheep and hogs are in bad con dition in tho vicinity of Monroo, Or. Several head of stock havo porishod, which under ordinary circumstancos, would havo braved the storms of an Oregon wlntor, and coino out in tho spring with plenty of flesh, thus show ing that the one week of snow was harder on tho ranchers of tho valloy than all tho rains and frosts of a com mon season. Colour From Spoknne. A colony of oitizons from Spokane will loc-ito somewhere in the south end of tho Willamette valley before April 1, ao it is assertod by Colony Promoter Wnllaoo, of Junotion City, Or. Mr. Wallace has mado nn offort during tho past few days to perauado Monroo peo ple that it ia to thoir interoat to have tho colony mako southern Bonton coun ty is future home.
