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.

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. CllAlll.TOH li.

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. Subscribe for THE COURIER. NOTICE! 0IVAL SALE I Wc arc going to move into the new building, next door to the Lay ton House.
