VOOKIUES, l'Koi'lt. 4 Mnor FRED MKNSCH, - Editor Entered at the pout office at Oranta I'a-B, Oregon, an set-oiiu-ciassinau inauer. ' THUItSDAY, JUNE 27, 111. The Ft. Hall reaervalioti in Idaho will ioon be thrown open to settlement. This reservation conlaini quite an eres ol desirable lands. The total area is (170,000 acres. Nearly all the land can be irrigated. The surveys a ill be com pleted by September 30. The insurgent Filipino general, Cailles, hag surrendered t lie last (one ol iuior tiuii'e to hold out against American authority. Caillcn surrendered OoO men and ftOtf rifles. Ofllcers and men public ly took the oatli f allegiance to the Uniltd Htatci. One renegade American soldier who had been acting as lieuten ant under Cailles surrendered also and was ulaced in irons. Adelbert S. Hay, son ol the secretary of alate. met his death on the night ol June 22 by tailing from a third story window of I lie New Haven bouse in New Haven, Conn. No one knows bow the tragedy occurcd, but it is supposed that be was sitting in the window to en joy the cool air and probably dozed and (el! out. Young Hay was formerly L". S. consul at Pretoria, South Africa anil is the eldest son ol the secretary, who is prostrated with griulat his death. West Virginia baa been vlsiled by a flood ol extraordinary severity. It la reporteil that the loss ol property will equal or exceed that of the famous flood ol Johnstown. Many miles ol railroad track has been swept away, The loss ol lilu reaches the number of 2oO. The storm wus an electrical storm, a "thun der shower" and coutinued for many hours. This is another reminder to Pacific coast people of their climatic blessings and the freedom of this land from violent weather of any kind. When the wind blows, it blows gently; when i t thunders, which is very seldom, ll thunders mildly. The summer heat is tempered by the Iresh quality ol the atmosphere and I lie winters are only tool, not cold. When nature lias an angry fit, she seeka some other place to rage and reserves the 1'aciflc coast (or her smiles. A peculiar solar phenomenon like that observed here on Friday last, il seen by our ancestors of the Middle Ages, would have beeu considered indicative ol dire calamity of some sort; probably war, perhaps pestilence or amine. The good people would probably have gone out and caught a witch or two to break the spell. It is noticeable too that war always lollowed in those days close on th'J heels ol comets or any sorlol aeri al phenomenon. This is an undeniable fiict. Everything presuged war In the middle ages and no sign was ever known to fail. In these days such signs are not reliable. We place a more common place interpre'ation on such phenomena as the solar decorations of Friday last and consider that they are caused by peculiar atmospheric conditions. There are object lessons in these old su-iersli-tious which may well be considered in this more enlightened uge, and uue ol them is that mankind will inevitably assign a reuson (or anything not under stood. II a man dues not know a thing, be will guess at it and pin his faith to the guess and consider it certain. There are yet ninny things in nature which are not understood even by scientists, but the things are very lew and fur be tween that ecifiice will acknowledge not umlcistcod. Even in this age, we do not know eveiythuig. The heathen do not rcali.o the depth ol their ignorance and the abundance ol their error and neither do we. Probably at some luture time we shall be looked back upon as dciislv ignorant in many respects. It l well lor humanity to be modest and not too anogant or Sell-conceited Though we may not realite our iguor mice, undoubtedly it is possible that such a .lung may exist. A litindtiomo 1'rite.

Tbe S earn Beer, Columbia an I Lewi hydraulic mines completed their annual clean-up Frida). inch ol these pruer ties lie in tbe Grave Creek district and are the beat paying ami tlio finest equipped placer mines in Norlbern Josephine County. To a Telegram coi respondent who via ited tbe mines jesterday the operators staled that ihe run had been shorter than ui-ual, owiug to the lack ul snow on the mountains, cutting the water supply in Ibe Humes al an eaily season. While the run has been brief, it has beeu profi table as well, as the jars of nuggets and dust ii'iiuved Iroin tbe sluices testify. The Steam Beer, Lewis and Columbia mines lie one above the other along ijrave Creek. The water supply is con trolled by Lewis & Hampton, the own ers ol the Lewis and Columbia. The eiaht miles ol ground lying between and cnmprising thee three mines is every foot paying dirt, and belongs to tbe same drut. The source of the gold sup ply in these mines is the rich ledges if the (iieenback and Lucky CJueen quartz districts. 'I he ground is easily worked by the big viaiits, it being a loose dirt and gray rvel over th t betlr ki. By the present )BU'U! of working, whkh all told repre-e-its .he 'almr of 12 xlants and "5 men, it will take 10 ) y-nrs to work the ground over tills one drift alone. Cousitleiiiu' ihe (act thai from $:O,t'O0 to $100,0.X) is removed from tbe bedrock each year by these three mines, one can get an idea of the vast wealth thai lies bidden along the banks ul Grave Creek. Kacb ol these mines is most excellently equipped with all the modern conveniences ol hydraulic mine work. Aside Iroin this the mess houses and quarters for the men are marvels ol neatness, a decided contrast lo the general rule followed by mines in this regard. The placer diggings ol Grave Creek are the most extensive in Southern Ore., and have long ago proved bv the many hundred pounds ol nuggets and gold -lust they have yielded to be second lo the rich grounds ol California.

Of tiie three the United States wus the i-'ieiitint of tiie tradu nviiU, but the rivalry was uot in conflict with Ureal liritain's policy of thu open door. Ot ruiany was a keen competitor both us regards trade mid sou power. Great Uritani, sonic day, would have to reckon with the latter. Hussia was not extending her territory, but was rcpre.-emitf trade. Aitniual Seymour insisted ou the liupoitauce ot holding and defending China, 111 order to preserve the prestige uf the foreign uatlous.
