For a Mineral Exhibit
A couple of months ago a Mining and
Commercial Club was organised here,
with J. O. Booth president, II. C. Kin
ney first vice-president, T. P. Cramer
second vice-presideut, , C. Peutland
secretary, and J. E. Peterson treasurer.
Circulars have been sent out inviting
the quarts and placer m iners to assist iu
making mineral exhibit, and applica
tions for space are being filed with the
secretary, and it is hoped by January
next to have the first section of the ex
hibil In place in ths Southern Pacific
depot here. The railroad company has
been very liberal iu offering encourage
ment to the movement, and when the
proposed two other sections are com
pleted, it is intended to place one section
at a lime in Portland and San Fran
Cisco. There will be specimens of ores
and a description of the quarts mines,
which must have a tunnel in 100 feet, or
a shaft down 50 feet; also photographs
ot the placer mines, which can show a
giant in operation.
The mining committee of this club
will also examine all mines which may
otler stock for sale on the market, so
that the public may have a disinterested
report on the properties, and thus only
good prospects will be abli to command
the confidence of the investing public.
This committee will also attempt to
enlist small amounts of capital in doing
development work. Grants, Pass is the
center of a vast mineral belt, which has
produced millions of doliara from placers,
but the development of the quarts
ledges is but in its infancy.
The mining territory tributary to this
town extends lrom 10 to 100 miles in
every direction. Not one point ol the
compass can be selected but that at
least half dor.cn prospects or mines
can be named. It is believed the future
will show that one of the greatest
mineral sections in the West is located
in this part of Oregon. The recently
developed copper properties south ol
here are showing very encouraging pros
pects, and capital will soon come in and
extensive smelting plants, employing
hundreds of men, will gradually add to
the consuming population dependent
upon Grants Pass as a center for sup
plies of merchandise and machinery.
There are some mines in this couuty
alnady where the payroll amounts to
1500J a month, but let thta be increased
in the near future to a dosen or more
mines and the result will be very ap
parent on the prosperity of the country
and towns. A man connected with a
moneyed institution Baid recently:
"Whenever a quarts mine is sufficient
ly developed to have a payroll, the
volume of money passing from hand to
hand here is very perceptible. And
such mines do not stand stilt. The
amount paid out increases each nicnth
as the profits of the business increase.
I am in position to know that the
prosperity of Grants Pass is a great deal
more dependent upon the few already
only partially developed mines in the
county, than on anything else. The
present increased interest in quarts
mining means that the future of Grants
Pass is assured. It requires capital to
developed a quarts mine, and we must
let capital know of the opportunities for
profitable investment and I am in favor
of and will assist all I can any plan
which will serve to attract the capital
needed." K. C. P. in Telegram.
Comment of the I'rts.
Following are (comments concerning
the U. of O. Glee Club, who will be here
on December 27, by some of the leading
newspaper of our state :
"The songs by the club w-re excellent
and were repeatedly encored." Kaleui,
Journal.
The travesty was better than good.
The audience fairly screamed with
laughter. Athena Press,
The Club sang with first-class chorus
effect. Every club number was well
rendered and gave proof of excellent
training. East Oregonian.
"The U. of O. Glee Club is composed
of seventeen gentlemanly students, who
are all cultivated singers. The program
embraced a pleasing variety of songs
The concert was a genuine musical
treat." Albany tOr.) Herald.
The Glee Club was on deck last night
at Wright's hall, with all the dash and
characteristic vivacity that usually marks
the college student. The hall was truly
"filled to overflowing," for the club un
doubtedly has the honor of having sung
to one of the largest audiences that ever
attended a public entertainment In
Union. The Oregon Scout.
A large audience of representative
Dallas people were present when the
curtain rose at the Baldwin last night,
and sixteen students sang into their
hearts tl.e enthusiasm which they them
selves felt. They appeared a fine-looking
lot of young men and sang as an open
ing chorns, "Ob, Oregon," written by
Prof. Glen and the music composed by
lr. Htrong. In part second, 10 great
was the "Little I'eweet" chorus, and the
following encores appreciated, that they
were called back six times. The lialles
Chronicle.
Catchy songs rendered by a club ol
enthusiastic students seldom fail to
awaken the most unresponsive audiences,
for. college boys sing with a swing and a
dash characteristic of student life. Their
mirthful melodies are Suggestive of un
limited fun or mischief, while the more
serious efforts show the trained mind
and voice. The tour of '00 '01 is the
third in the Dislory of the club. The
club baa been warmly received and en
thusiaatically praised wherever it has
sung, and that it may merit the same
consideration this year is the earnest
hope of iu members. Club Iutrodutioo.

Letter From Charlton Perkins.
Calamba, P. I. Oct , 2s 1000.
Conditions are about as when I last
wrote. The natives are causing gieat
trouble through the Islands. Two hun
dred cavalrymen arrived here last eve
ning all mounted npon the world's best
horses, the Americsn horse. They make
a grand sight as they come up the road
on the gallop. This is what puts fear
jOto the natives. Gen. McArthur has
recommended that cavalry be used all
over the Islands for when a band of
Ladrones or insurgents are reported
moving in a given direction, the cavalry
men can givo chase and catch them bo.
tore they reach the hills.
We also received 8)0 men of the 49lh
infantry, colored. They surely are a
wonder to the natives. They gather
around and look them all over. Thoy
cannot understand how it Is, black men
come lrom America.
I am greatly pleased with my new
position in the Postal service and take
great interest in it. This is far ahead of
navy work. Here I am my own boss and
know if I follow the rules of my depart
ment that never a word will be said to
me. There are no one-horse naval offi
cers around to dictate to you and try to
show you hew to do your work when
they do not know how to add two and
two together.
I went out with a detachment of the
cavalry several days ago to look for a
band ol native soldiers that was reported
in this vicinity and the results are that
I can hardly move. I rode about 15
miles, my first ride horseback fur four
years.
The more I see this country the more
favorably I am impressed with It I
never saw such a profusion of vegetation
in mi life. We rode for an hour or
more through grass several feet higher
than my head while I was on a large
horse. The grass has a large joiuted
stem and tho head of it resembles our
orchard grass. We might have passed
within 10 feet of the whole insurgent
army and not known of it for through
this grass was a narrow path with grass
hanging over your head and you could
see only eight or leu feet on each side.
The rainy season is now uhout over
aud the vegetation looks so green, a dark
thrilty color. The natives are still
causing trouble and almost evory day
some one is killed,
I am very anxious to see the election
come ofT foril McKinley is re elected he
surely will adopt seveie means to kill
these people off and if Bryan is elected
we might as well leave the islands for as
long as you promise these people any
thing, you are going to have an Insurrec
tion. The situation here it serious and
no one knows it better lliau those who
are here. I am quito sure they know
more of tho real situation tliau two-
thirds of our congressmen who gel up in
congress and s,eiid hours over some
thing that happened during the Spanish
war. Every American who knows any
Jhlng knows we can not turn these
islands back but must keep them and the
piicker we teach the Inhabitants this
the better.
Through my enorta with the com
manding ollicer. I got uim to detail two
non-commissioned officers to travel bark
and forth with the mail and now we
have daily mail from Manila. I ex poet
to build up quite an office out of this ollirc
after a while. I h ive requested that a
postal order system be established here
as Hi is will enable the soldiers serving
iu this province a chance to send
money home or at any rate deposit it.

Washington Letter.
(F'rom Our Regular Correspondent).
W AMUNOTON, Pec. 10, l'JOO.
The senate did not take up the
Nicaragua canal lull today, in accord'
ance with the resolution adopted at the
last session, because, with the votes of
many friends ot the canal bill, the Ship
Subsidy bill was last week made the
regular order of the senate. The friends
of the canal bill will wait until the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is acted npon
before pushing that measure. They
say they have the votes pledged to pass
It whenever they get ready, and that
theie is no reason to rush it now.
When congress is good, It is very good,
and it has been very good indued since
this Beesion opened. There has not
boen the slightest wranglo on the floor
or either senate or house, although tho
latter debated and passed the admin
istration army reorganization bill, pro
viding for a regular army of from 58,000
to 100.000 men, in the president's
discretion, which under ordinary cir
cunistancea might have been expected
to have aroused the minority. Doubt
less the failure of the minority caucus to
agree upon a party policy had some
thing to do with the calmness of the
debate.
When the senate agreed to vote next
Thursday oil the Davis ameudmont to
the Ilay-rauncnfote treaty, it mttdo It
practically certain that the treaty would
be ratified. This amendment, which
was prepared by the late Pcuator Davis,
a short and merely declares that nothing
in the treaty shall apply to measures
the United States may find it necessary
to take for the defense of its interests
and the maintenance of public order.
In othor words, the United States will
dofund the Nicaragua canal after It is
constructed. Senator Teller wishes to
make that fact more conspicious bv
striking out the following sentence- in
section 7, article 2 of the treaty: "No
fortification shall bo erected command
iug the canai or the waters adjacout,"
and will oiler an amendment to that
effect, but a majority of tho senators
seem to regard the Davis amendment as
all that is necessary.
Congress is likely to find Itself in
volved in a financial discussion shortly,
In connection with an administration
bill providing a system of coinage for
the Philippines, where the Mcxlsiin
dollar, commercial value CO cents, Is the
popular unit of valuo, under the United
States control, as it was under Spanish
control. No bill has yet been intro
duced in congress oil (lie subject, but
from talk at a cabinet meeting, one is
likely to bo that will provide for the
purchase of silver bullion to be coined
into pesos, or 1'hlllppino dulluis, each
to contain about fifty cents worth ol
silver, or a little hss than our standard
silver dollar.
That the agitation by the dairy
interest was elltcllve was shown by the
large vote, 1110 to 1)2, by which the
Grout bill for a tax of tou rents a pound
on oleomargarine, was pussed by the
house. Tne principal argument ad
vanced for the bill was thut it was
necersiry to protect the d ilry interests
of the country.
A far-reaching mcasuro has been
introduced by Ueprfsentutivo Taylor, ol
Ohio, and referred to the house judiciary
committee.. Mr. Taylor's primary object
was to prohibit polygamy, but In propo
ing a constitutional amendment foi uni
form laws on marriage and divorce,
he has gone furth-ir. This matter may
be pushed at this S'i.ision, but (lis nut
likely to get through, owing to tho short
time in which to reach any sort ol
agreement among those ho hold widely
divergent opinions, not only on mar-
Hugo and divorce, but 011 the question of
the wisdom of a federal law to deal with
them. Stales rights are involved in the
last.
The senate committee on milituiy
sflairs today began the consideration of
the army reorganisation bill, passod by
the house last week. The house, with a
view to extditiiig the measure, made
its bill a substitute for one passed by
the senate at the last session. The idea
being that the senate would ordr the
bill sent to conference. Fenator Hawlcy,
chairman of the committee, says there
will be no conference on tho hill as It
iiow stands; that bis committee will
consider it, grant hearings if necessary
and then make a roport In ths usual
way. Ths temperance people are work
ing hard to gut the flat footed anti
canteen amendment Inserted iu the bill
by such an overwhelming majority ol
the liouso, kept In by the senate, but
their success la doubtful. It is ownly
charged that many members of the house
voted for the amendment because the
W. C. T. U, happened to be in session
in Washington, ami with the hope and
expectation that the senate would cut
it out.
Kepreseiilative Hepburn, of lesa,
author of the Nicaragua Canal bill, now
before the senate, ins doubts ol the
value of political oratory in his district,
lie said : "Four years sgo I made sixty
or seventy speeches, and I pulled
through with about six hundred ma
jority, Tso years ago, 1 made six or
seven speeches and - received three
thousand majority. In the campaign
just closed I was sick and did not make
any speeches, snd my majority was five
thousand."
The Investigation of the election ol
Henator Clark, of Montana, cost the
senate about r,,000. of which Mr. Clark
drew (444.10 as witness fees and
mileage.
When the bouse committee on ways
and means ' added a net reduction ol
twenty five cents a barrel iu the tax on
beer, before reportlug the revenue
reduction bill to the bouse, it made the
total reduction $10,000,000 which it
abontlOper cent greater than tlm ad
ministration wishes it to be. The bill
will be put through the hous during
the present week.
