1 stianger to I'oitland, having seen it lust
in H2, and having passed through here
a number of times since, lie has also
mined tor gold In Oiegou.aud once owned
1 and conducted a pack train in this state.
He came to California In i.S:), when he
'was 1(1 v ears old. liming the excitement
hi 1 Mi 1 -j 011 account ol the rich diggings
discoveied at l-'lnrence, Idiho, he was one
of a patty ol about so who stalled with a
complete oullil horses, pack animals,
etc. lor the l-'loience mines.
I hey tome through from California into
i'ou'.he.istirn Ciegon, and were the dls
c verers of the Canyon Lily mining dis
trict, 011 John Day liver, but at thai time
they did not know what district they were
in. Judge Mortow saw the lirst pan ol
dirt washed nut in that section and after
the parly had prospected a while there
they moved on over into the Powder river ,
iouutry, where there were a number ol
mining camps. Alter a while the greater
dumber of the party proceeded to the Plor
eiue diggings, as at lust Intended, Hut
Judge .Morrow and some others decided to
go back to the diggings they had discov
ered on the John Day, and they mined
there all slimmer with gooJ suc.ess.
When winter was coming on they be
gin to ll lik of getting away, as the
ludi ins told them Ih it the' winters were
hard there. I he Indians were not very
friendly and desired to get them away.
At this time Judge Morrow embraced an
opportunity to trade two claims he owned
lor a pack train, and at the age of 10 he '
I navigated this train through a region nf
j unsympathetic, if not absolutely unlriend

the whole outfit and came to Portland,
then a small place, but athiiving busines

stay here tike a run up to I he Dalle?,

Governor Mcintosh "Out of Politics."
Hon. C. II. Mackintosh, formerly resi
dent manager tor the Hrltisli Amciica
coipiratioii ai Rosslauil, left vestcrday
I alteration over ih O. R. N. Cu.'s line
for tile coast. In Cauadi, as well as In
the United States, a general election Is on
1 the tapis, but the evlieutenant governor
ot the.Notthwest I eiritoriesseenis lohave
dropped out ol C.iiiadliu politics. His
deteat by Smith Curtis at the last pro
vincial election was severely felt by Air.
.Mackintosh. Up to that tune it I1.1J been
fulls intended by Sir Charles I upper and
other conservative leaders Ih it Mackin
tosh should be their candid He in the- high
constituency ot Yalc-Kootetiay-C.irlboo.
Hut when Smith Cunts beat him pro
viiuially a tew weeks back the governor
practically gave up publics, and his name
did not voine before the conserv ativ e con
vention held at Revrlstoke Saturday.
A.M. .McNeil, a R issl.uul liwyer, vva
shosen as the mnservative candidate. It
is perhaps just as lucky tor Mr. Mackin
tosh that he Is not a candidate, for it is
said that 40,000 Is an under-cstimate ot
what the campaign in Yale-Kootenay-Caliban
u ill ust. 1 here is no doubt but
w hat his e.peiience as a member for that
riding helped toward the recent assign
ment ol Hewitt Hostock, who a tew years
ago came out troni England with several
hundred thousand dollais. Spokesman-
