C o m e w ith th e m o n e y — as th a t Is itid ls p e n fih ie . President Roosevelt and Admiral Yamamoto held a real peace confer ence at Oyster Bay. A Detroit evangelist claims that ihereare 40 roads leading to hell; and every one of them is kept well paved. Excavations on. Palatine hill, in Rome, show a curious and interest ing circumstauce. The Necropolis has been found to coutain rema)us of the 9th, 8th, ‘6th and 4th centu ries before Christ, but all fragmeuts Texas' record - break i ng peach of the 7th and 5th centuries are crop has been postponed until next lacking, and archeologists are mak year. ing a close study of the field to find the reason,_____________ Ohio violators of the anti tçust law are sent to theroclk pile as well if-1 as being fined. Another leason why there will be no war with Japan is liecausev Andrew Carnagie agrees with Tin* Oljserver that way. The Haywood jury rendered a verdict of acqlitlal. They had no fears of MSMaiiation from t) e side of the prosecuf on. ■ >ndon paler insists that King rd is the litidost worked man d; atm yet, we haven’t ill! pitching any hay. An eastern clergyman asserts that there are three heavens. Glorious news to those people who can find no place ou the earth to be happy. Jamaica lias sent official thanks to Amerioa for assistance during the earthquake. Jamuica liasii't near as much ginger now as it had at that time. Great stress is laid upon W alter son’s preferences for Gov. .lohnnon, of Minnesota as a dark horse. Wat terson shouldn't overlook our Gov. Chamberlain, just because Johnson got the Swede vote.

Copper mines equal to any found in Montana or Michigan will now be developed in the North Santiam range, near Albany. W hile exea rating to rebuild the Mill pity com pany’a store, recently destroyed by fire, workmen uncovered rich de posits of native and carbonated cop per ore. The ore is very rich and much excitement prevails. The dis «»very was made in the rear of the old store and it seems marvelous that it was not found sooner. The poisonous effects from the drinking water at Mill city, now attributed to copper deposits, was never snffi d en t to incite inquiry. But Oregon is noted for that sort of posh. “Bister” Moody, of the Spokane Apostolic Assembly, predict» the destruction of that city ou or before the 26th day of Ootober, with the proviso for its preservation: “That we have prevailed with God.” Two arcbaelogioal discoveries in Egypt, of exceptional interest, have recently been made public. They are additional sayings of Christ, appli cable to the present century, but perhaiis 100,000 years old. They were found near an old Coptic mo nastery at Kofu and consist of about a dozen rolls of Greek pepyra, of extremely aucieut manufacture. They iuolnde 25 leaves of apocry- pal sayings of Christ in a coptic translation ol a lost Greek original, of which previously only 18 leaves were known, 12 of them being in the national gallery at Paris, and one at Berlin. The discovery in cludes parts of the gospels of Saints Matthew, Mark and Luke, iu the Greek. __________ ___ It is now a settled fact that the North Bank Ry will be ready for business betweeu Renew iok aud Vancouver, 229 wiles, November 1st, when Mr. Hill may fully realize that quaint remark in the old eu gineers report of 1865, that “ the bail of the pot is no longer lying down than when standing up?

One of the most attractive and best written announcements that has appeared in the Oregon country press for a long time, is that of the Portland Business College, printed elsewhere in The Observer.
