Bucket" mine appeared iu Sun day's Oregon inn : History records the fact ttmt gold was first discovered oil the Pacific Coast liy Joint Marshall, at Sutter's mill, in what is now El Dorado County, California, iu 1MIS. As a matter of fuct gold was found by au immigrant train on the old Stove Mock's Cut-Off, in Crook or Harney couuty in Eastern Oregon, between the Malheur aud Deschutes rivers in 1845. This fact can be ret suf cieutly attested by living witnesses. The Native Sous and Daughters of Orcgou should see to it that such is done in honor to thuir state. Before touching upon tho story of hi lost Blue Bucket diggings, I wish to remark that I am aware that any man, woman or child, Ucrgo, Indian or Chinese who attempts to particu larize either as - to the supposed location of this lost iniuo, or as to tho quantity of gold will riso a storm of protest and contest, such as no man would desire. Personally tho writer has investigated at loist two sooro of versions of both, and no two of thorn agree in detail, hut all corresjiond in the essential fact, that gold was ac tually found. In giving my version of tho Hlue Iluckot diggings, as they aro familiar ly culled, I will explain how it tomes to mo aud by whom. My grandfather and his family were in tho train that broke tho trail afterward known as Mock's Cut-OIT. My father was at t';a time a boj 14 years of age. Ho told ran the full particulars in a different country, having permanently removed from Oregin in lWii). It was not tho traiu lie whs in that found the gold, but one following them, and ho repeated to mo from memory, the story as told nt tho time, being un mixed with versions of modern years. The traiu encamped on a small stream somewhat along tho rim of the Harney Basin, there being hills to tho northward and tho level stretch of tho desert to tho south. A freshet hud sluiced out the gulch, leaving the bed rock bare. A ludv passing over this bare bed rock, picked op some pieces of yellow metal aud eatno into camp, carrying it iu her apron, and called attention to it. No one seemed to know what it was, anil when she was asked how much of the molnl she could havo picked np if she wished, she pointed to a wood en vater bucket painted tilno and replied she thought alio could havo picked up that bucket full in a little while; hcuoo the name given this lost mine, "tho Blue Bucket dig gings. " The suggestion being uiadu by some that it might bo gold brought tho wise man to tho foro. Ho is over with ns, and it Is upon these special occa sions that lie is wont to exhibit his maivolous wisdom. Ho explained that gold mid silver wore the only metals that had a natural ring to them, (ho had evidently forgotten that it was the alloy iu coin that gave it its "ring.") Ho forthwith hammered a piece out Mat upon the wagon tire and teste I it for tho ring. As it would not ring ho promptly pronnonnced it hr'iss ; (ho had evidently also forgot ten that brass was not a specific metal, but a eoiiijiosition ) hence some times called tho Wagon Tire diggings. Some of this gold found its wuy in to the Willame' to valley, being pro served as rurios, but it was not until after the discovery of gold in Califor nia that those tsopln know what they had fruud and lost ujion tho old im migration trail. The old Blue Bucket has uot been re-discovere.l. A inueh-creditnl ver sion that Canyon City was the place is undoubtedly i rrniicon i. After a js-rsouiil examination of the country, I am confident upon this sjmt. Another error unido by theso old ph liters, and it is still extant, is the confounding of Crooked Uiver with tho John Day Kiver. They struck Crooked River mar 1'rinevillo and mistook it for tho John Day. They did not touch tho John Day, leaving it to the north ami east ward of their route. JOHN. L.

THANKSGIVING DAY IS SET President Issues Proclamation Fix ing Nov. 26 , the Time. The president Saturday issued his annual Thanksgiving proclamation iu the following terms : By the president of tho Uuited States of America A proclamation : "The season is at hand when, ac cording to tho customs of our people, it fulls upon tho president to appoint a day of praise aud thanksgiving to God. During the last year, the Lord has dealt bountifully with us, giving us peace at home aud abroad, and the chance for our citizens to work for their welfare unhindered by war, famine or plague. It behooves ns not ouly to rejoice greatly because of wh it has been given us, but to ac cept it with a solemn sense of rcsioti sibility, realizing that under heaven it rests with ourselves to show that we are worthy to use aright what has thus been eutrusted to our care. "In no other place, aud at no other time, lins tho experiment of govern ment of tho people, by tho pooplo aud for the peole been tried ou so vast a scale as hero in our own country in the opening years of the 20th century. Failure would not ouly be a dreadful thing for as, but a dreadful thing for all mankind, because it would mean a loss of hoi 'or all who believe in the power and tho righteousness of liberty. "Therefore, iu thanking Ood for tho mercies extended to us iu the past, we beseech Him that Ho may not withheld them iu tho future, aud our hearts may bo u roused to war steadfastly for good aud against nil forces of evil, public and private. Wo pray for streugtli and light, so that in the coming yoars we may, with cleanliness, fearlessness aud wisdom, do our allotted work on earth in such manner as to show that we aro not altogether unworthy of the blessing we havo received. "Now, therefore, I, Theodore Uoosovolt, president of the United Statin, do hereby designate as a (lay of general thanksgiving, Thursday, the 2lith of the coming November, and do recommend that througout tho laud, people cease from their wonted occu pations, aud iu their several homes and plaooa of worship, render thanks to Almighty Uod for his manifold mercies.

A fireman killed and a mail clerk probably fatally wounded was the re sult of what might have been a most disastrous wreck on the Oregon ex press, two miles south of Tehama, early Sunday morning. Had it not been for the heroic act ion of Engineer Boucher Iu sticking to his post of duty in his wrecked engine iu the faco of almost certafti death, it is highly prohablo that etsry oar in the first section of tho train would have plunged through a burn ing trestle into ono of tho many brandies of the Sacramento river. The first section of train No. 1(1 was slightly behind timo leaving Marys vllle, and Boucher was making extra spoed on that account. Beside several heavily loaded Pullmans aud the diner, tliero was a mail car and tho entire outfit of tho "Florodora" Com pany. This consisted of two sloers and two baggage cars, loaded with scenery ami trunks. Just as the en gine rounded a light curve at Sesma, Boucher saw tlunes licking up the bridge ahead of him. Ho applied the air and yelled to the fireman, Charles Morris, to stick to the engine. Tho groat machine left the track and plowed over the trestle on the ties. Morris jumped, and the tender followed him to the river bottom, crushing the life from him. The mail car and Clerks Bryno and Southwortli wo'Jt through next, fol lowed by an empty day coach and a ear of scenery. Two members of the opera company rescued tho mail clerks from the flames, while the engineer and other passengers pulled out tho mangled remains of Morris. Tho prompt work of Boucher while sticking to his post undoubtedly saved tho theatre and tourist sleepers from going into tho seething mass of names. The theatre pooplu rescued a 'arload of baggage, but their scenery was completely dostroyed. Boucher was immediately presented with $100 by grateful passengers, and a subsequent collection raised tho wholo purse to 100, part of which will go to aid Southworth, the in jured mailman. Tho remaining cars of tho train wore scut around by way of Woodland, starting for Portland 1H hours late, Tho accident was caused by a Are underneath tho trestle, burning away the snpHirts. The origin of tho tie is as yet undetermined. About 100 feet of the trestle was burned, and wreckage of all kinds is strowu along ths trestle for a distance of a quarter of a mile. It is expected several days will ehipso before travel can be resumed ou tho east side of the river. WHOLESALE INDICTMENTS By V. S.
