Among tho picture drawn by Mr. Ore of tb eceoce and Incident at teodant upon tho building of tb Union Tactile ona of the most vivid I that of night following pay day In Benton, on of th town of th typ tbat prang up In the wak of th road In lb day during It construction, an Chang says! "Life Indonra that night In Benton waa monstrous, wonderful and bldeoua. Th gold that did not flow over th bar went Into Ih greedy band of tho cold, awlft gambler or Into th clutch ing finger of th wild-eyed women. Th big gambling hell had extra light, extra attendants, extra table ; and ther round tb treat glittering nilr-ror-blatlng bar atruggled and laughed and ahouted a drluk-aodden tuaa of humanity. And all through th reat of the big room grout and knot of men food and aat around tables. Intent, absorbed, obaeaaod, llatenlng with trained ear, watching with wild eye, reaching with abaklng hands ouly to gaap and throw down their cardi and puh gold toward cold fared gambler, wltb a muttered curs. TbJ wa tb night of tho gulden harvest for tbo black-garbed, steel nerved, cold-eyed card sharp. They knew tb brevity of ttme, and of hour, and of llf. "In tb dancing ball ther waa maddening whirl, an Immena and In credible hilarity, a wild fling of on I rained, burly men, an honeat drunken pre. But thcro wa also tb hideous, red-eyed drunkennea that did not aprlng from drink; th unveiled pas Ion, tb brawn lure, the raw, corrupt and terrlbl presence of bad women la abaolut license at a wild and baneful hour. "Tbo scene at midnight waa unreal, livid, medieval. ' Dance of cannibal, danc of ran worshiper, dunce of Apache on the warpath, danc of cliff dweller wild over the massacre of a dreaded foe only these orgies nrigbt hav been comparable to tbat wild whirl of gold and lust. '' "Night wore on and the hour of dawn approached. , "Tho lamp were dead; the tent were dark ; th music waa stilled ; and th low, soft roor was but a hollow mockery of Ita earlier strength. ' "Like specter men staggered slowly and wandetingly through the gray streets. Gray ghosts 1 All wa gray. A vacant laugh pealed out and a strident curse, and then again th low murmur prevailed. Benton wa going to rest Weary, drunken, spent nature sought oblivion on disordered beds, on hard floors and In dusty corners. An tin mens and hovering shadow held th tents and balls aad streets. Through this opaque gloom tb silent and tb mumbling reveler reeled along. Load er voice broke the spell only for an Instsnt Death lay In the mlddl of th matn street. In the dust and no passing man baited. It lay as well down th side streets. In sandy dltchea and on th tent floors, and behind th bar of the gambling hell. Llkewlso death hud hi counterpart In hundred of prostrate men who lay In drunken stupor, asleep, Insensible to tb dust In their face. . "But the dawn would not stay back In order to hide Benton' hldcousne. The gray lifted out of the streets, th shadows lightened, the east klndlri and th sweet, soft freshness of a des ert dawn cam In on the gentle breece.. And when the sun arose, splendid and golden, wltb It promise and beauty, It shone upon a ghastly, silent, motion less, sleeping Benton."

Dye, who Is employed at rirooklngs, cam up horn for a few day's visit, returning south th flrat of the week. II says everything I going along nicely In tbat vicinity and tb Brooking mill I being op erated to full capacity, although men ar hsrd to keep there In spit of th fart that good wage ar paid. Th personnel of .the mill crew Is constantly changing, men arriving and working thre or four months steady to mak a atak and then r- l turning to th city to spend It. Tb last company boat brought In 20 new 'men for th mill. J I Very naturally a good deal of the ( Brookings money Is spent in Cres cent City and a good many claim th boos busineaa I all ther I doing In th Del Nort county metropolis ,snd tbat when California goes dry, as th wis ones predict will be the outcome of the election this yesr. It Is contended thst Crescent City will ,b a "dead burg." However, Mr. Dye takea an opposite view of the matter and says with th boot el menf out of business Crescent City 'should develop rapidly and become a thriving community. Tb fact that work on th harbor project seems as sured Is, alone, sufficient assurance of the country's future. It Is said that with tb completion-of th Im provement ther Crescent City will b among tb llvest seaports on th coaat. Th Ilobba-Wall company, tb only lumber Industry there, hav t hardly touched th vat forests of redwood and sprue In th county: tb great mineral deposit of chrome, manganea and other metals now greatly In demand ar just be ing opened up; and In addition the 'country behind Crescent City com- ! prise an excellent dairying section, j Smith river valley containing many jfln dairy herd and hundred of acres of valuable lands. What th eountry needs most of all Is som good live men and con- istructlv boosting by all tb people .ther. The resource of thst section. I properly developed, should gteatly , offset any loss of business a a re sult of th change from a wide-open town to prohiblUon. restrictions. Gold Besch Reporter. or mbai.
