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.

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 TROUBLE IN CHINA.
A dispatch from Sliaiiliui says tli.it
Sir Edward il. Seymour, liiitisu coiu-iiiiiuder-lu-cliief
ou tlio t-'lnua station,
was tlio pi'iiiciiial fuest ol the. China
ussociatiou at its uutiaiil b.iuiuec. Iu
the course of a speecli nroie'luiK' a.iin.st
tlio policy of tradu txclu.-ion, tlio ad
miral said Great i;i 11.1111 had three
powerful rivals tlio United Suites,
Hussia and Crerinauy. 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.
Tlio uows disp.itiliis fioin Peking
convey to the ollicial mind at Vahinhr
tou the belief that what i.- known .is
the ilriiish-American piau of M-tthuj;
the ludeiiinity .iie.-lion is making head
way, und that it wul 111 the end be
adopted as the only feasible scheme.
The tirm attitude of the United States
ill deciiuiuK to enter into a joint guar
antee of Hie enormous bom! issue 13
believed to have had its t Meet lu inclla
