A 100-foot ledge whose predominating value are nickel, has been discovered in Butcher Knife canyon, 14 miles west of Grant Pass. W. A. Ingram and A. H. Ramsey, twoyosephlne County miners, are the discoverer. Butcher,. Knife Creek cut directly through the great Vein, showing It to posses a width of from 100 to 1 150 feet. Samples of ore from the strike have been brought to this city. They prove to be nickel pyrites with also a good showing of copper and gold. It la the first big nickel discovery ever made In Josephine County and will undoubtedly prove of much Importance. The great strike furnishes a striking proof of the fact that the mountains of Josephine' County have been but poorly prospected. The Granite Hill mines, of Louse Creek district, have begun work with their new ' machinery Installed. They have ore enough in sight to keep their mill and plant In constant operation for many year to come. These properties consist of 800 acre of mineral land, 240 of which comprise the big hydraulic mines of tne Granite Hill Company. C. I Mangura, superintendent of the mines, states that they have Just made three new strikes In their quarts properties, the assays of Which run into the thousands. SALEM BRIEFS (Journal Special Service.) SALEM, July 17. Master First Warden LABOR UNIONS ARE AROUSED They Are Investigating a Serious Charge Against a Local Paper. The Carpenters' Union held an inter esting meeting last night. Many of the members were consider ably wrought up over the charge that a local newspaper Is using Its columns In a stealthy manner to Injure organised labor in this city. According to the report the mailing edition, wnich has no circulation locally, is teeming with advertisements for "all kinds of unskilled and skilled laborers to come to Portland, where they can get Immediate employment" Before the edi tion IS prepared for local circulation. It is charged, these advertisements are re moved, the Intention being to flood the city with workingmen unbeknown to or ganized labor. The mailing edition goes, of course, to other towns in the state and Eastern cities, and the harm that such advertisements can do is easily apparent to all. A committee was appointed at last night's meeting to Investigate the matter today and ascertain whether or not there Is any truth In the report. If It Is found to be correct tne chances are very good that labor unions will take some Immediate action to put a curb on such proceedings. They argue that there are more men in the city now than can get employment, and that if a local paper baa thrown open Its oolumns to some em ployers' association, It Is done with the evident Intention of trying to disrupt the labor unions of the city. The matter was first brought to the at tention of the Carpenters Union by a circular letter which that body received from the Los Angeles Labor Council. RELICS OF WAR. Zeb Davis . 6f this place has a curio that is worthy of special mention. . A few days ago a gentleman from the East presented Mr. Davis with a grapeshot that had seen service In the battle Pea Ridge. After the battle this shot was cut out of a beech tree. Still clinging to)lt are particles of wood that give the ball an appearance of roughness resem bling that of a walnut. It Is slightly larger than a good sized walnut. The particles of wood that adhere to the shot appear to be petrified. It is a relic of the Civil War that Is well worth some trouble to see. The party who presented thia curio to Mr. Davis presented a number of like souvenirs to Logan Hays of this city. Tanntramt The teamsters' strike to becoming more animated than ever.. Yesterday circulars bearing upon the trouble were drawn up by the men and printed. They will be distributed all over the., city, and are In part as follows: ' 'J "Before the company secured control of the slabwood output of this city this fuel oould be soured a -low a IL60. At v tub NEWS OP NEARBY TOWNS IN BRIEP. H.'G.) Tan Dusen, of Astoria, yesterday deposited 11755.60 with State Treasurer Cbas. 8. Moore. This sum was collected by Mr. Van Pusea on account of the fisn lug and' fisb dealers' licenses, principally on. the Lower Columbia River, and rep resented the receipt of his office during June. ; .The state printing office is busily en gaged In printing Bellinger's Code, ( the new codification of the laws of Oregon, authorised by .the last.

The cannery pui up for the market about 4000 ease of fruit during this time, a compared to 19.000 cases last year. The management Is undocided a to its future operations, but will probably ran on pears for a season this fall. Man ager Holcomb Is anxious to have the orchardlstfl plant the best canning varie ties of blackberries and raspberries, so ad to provide fruit for . the operation of the cannery after the strawberries and cher ries are out of the way, and to this end he offers to sign contracts with the grow ers for these varieties of fruit, at a good price for a number of years. Mrs. T. L. Davidson, wife of former Judge Davidson, a prominent Democratic politician, I critically HI at the family home near this city. She recently sub mitted to an operation for appendicitis, and her condition since then has grown so much worse that the family la alarmed as to the outcome of her illness. The members of Company F, Fourth Regiment, O. N. G., of this city, who took part In the man-hunt, when Tracy and Merrill broke 'out of the prison on Jun 9th, were yesterday paid for their ser vices. The company taking the field con sisted of Captain H. A. Kurtz and 48 en listed men. Captain Kurti received $1S foi his three days' services, and the men each $4.50, or a per diem of 11.50. The big gravel bar. extending from the Polk-County bank of the Willamette Riv er into the stream under the bridge, grows In length from year to year, and with the stream still several feet abov low-water mark, already extends over 100 feet below the steel bridge. Congress wilt be asked to take action to remedy the matter. , Superintendent J. D. Lee, of the Oregon penitentiary, yesterday filed hla report in the State Department, for the quarter This letter was to the effect that the Los Angeles Times Is openly engaging in a warfare against labor unions, sending ad vertising matter all over the East in ducing workingmen to come there. The letter also stated that other Coast pa pers were engaged In similar work. Upon learning this several of the " members present at last night's meeting volun teered the Information that one of the daily papers published In Portland was among the ones taat the circular had reference to, although it was not doing It openly. Then they explained Its methods of doing business along this line. When the local edition was being prepared for circulation. It Said, the ob jectionablekadvertisements were removed. The announcement caused a sensation, and it was decided to inquire closely Into the matter, and a committee was ap pointed for the purpose. Letters will be forwarded to labor unions In the East, and they will be requested to secure copies of the local newspaper in question, and forward them here with as little de lay as possible. If the report is false they wish to know it; if it Is true they also wish to be made acquainted with the fact, so that they can take proper action regarding It. L It has long been known by the unions here that the Los Ange.es Times Is one of their most pronounced and bitter en emies, but when It was Intimated that a dally was being published In their very midst that was doing all It could to in jure their cause, it was like throwing a bomb Into, their ranks. Nothing could have surprised them more than the an nouncement. ;' tins price firms were making money and paid their teamsters $2 per day. When Mr. Ban field secured control he reduced wages to $1.80. and raised tne price of slabwood to 11.75, then $2, $2.25 and $2.50, and some people have had to pay $2.75 for this fuel If they did not kick on the price. i will be noticed that the price went up little by little, so that the consumers would not complain. Mr. Bitfield advanced the price of wood the last time on the strength of his sign ing an agreement with the Sand & Fuel Teamsters to pay weekly and at a rate of $2.25 per day. This agreement was Signed in the early part of May, but the agreement was not to go Into effect until June 1. Why was the price of wood ad vanced 25 cents per load on May 15? Did the advance on teamsters' wages Justify 25 cents per load Nol Decidedly no I" . For School Construction. The following contracts have been let by the Board of Education tor the Wood lawn,.

Mr. Potter say the Darnell mine at that place la nj longer an uncertain proposition.' Within the past few day several thousand dol lars worth of machinery has arrived and is being placed in position at the mine to reduce' the ore, and the operators are making other very extensive Improve ments and installing machinery other than ore-reducing. "One good Indication," said Mr. Potter, "is that nobody can buy a share of stock. The company will rot entertain an otter for stock at all. While there Is no big rush of business In Kalama, everything Is going on in a very satisfactory way and everybody Is busy. There Is -not a vacant house in the'town, and. the pros pects for the future are good, indeed." AROUND THE STATE. Dollie Jackson, the 15-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Xt Jackson, was operated .upon Monday at Roseburg, for an Aliment of the hip. Her hip bone was Injured by a fall several years ugo, and although It gave no evidence of serious trouble until several days afterward, the upper edge of, the hip bone was doubtless shattered. Since that time many particles of diseased bone have worked their way out througn the flesh.

The wise man who remarked that there Is no accounting- for tastes may have had In mind a certain individual in the Third Ward of Omaha. This person Is Lillian Porter, a handsome col- -f ored girl who lives at Twelfth and Davenport streets and who Is known among her acquaintances as "the woman who eats paper." ' Unlike the sword swallower or the glass eater. Miss Porter's perform- - ance is genuine. Eating paper has become a habit with her and she says -f he likes It. Miss Porter is a recognized belle among' the colored population of Oma- -f ha and her family, who live In Lincoln, are prominent figures In the col- ored society of that city. Apparently she does not suffer from her diet of paper as she is one of the prettiest girls in the Third Ward. -f When a reporter called at Miss Porter's home last Tuesday he was in- formed that she was not at home. Before he left, however, he saw her ap- preaching, carrying a tablet of writing paper. "Oh, yes, I eat paper," she said In answer to the scribe's query. "See - here," she continued, as she held up the tablet. "1 don't get that to write on, but to eat. It's glazed writing paper I like that the best. ' You will -f notice that it Is unruled. I don't like to eat the Ink. -f "I started to eat paper when I was a little girl. I chew it Just as you 't would chewing gum. It has no effect on a person as does a drug, but 1 have become used to eating it so tint It has become a habit with me. -f "I like the thick glazed writing paper the best, as there Is more In -f It to chew. I eat an ordinary b-cent pad of paper In two or three days. If I haven't the money I eat a newspaper instead." Miss Porter here exhibited several copies of Omaha dallies. As far as -f the reading matter was -concerned the paper was Intact, but the plain border which contained no printing had disappeared absolutely and the f papers looked as though mice instead of a human being had gnawed off ' the edges. ' . i If it were not so expensive the young woman said that she woufd" pre- fer to eat a fine grade of paper, such as invitations are printed upon, but as her Income la limited, she Is forced to content herselT with an ordinary quality of paper. v" . Miss Porter Is not at all backward in speaking of her peculiar appe- tlte, but she says she Is not seeking notoriety on. the subject. -f "I don't see why anybody else should care what I eat," said. she. "If I want to eat paper, It's my business. I never ask any one else what -4 he eats."'. - Recently a party of Miss Porter's friends thought to play a Joke upon her and sent her a large package, of paper for a birthday present. The par cel. contained pieces of heavy burlap and tar paper labeled "For break- - fast," various other grades "For dinner," and tlssde paper marked "For -4- desert." t TTttttT-TTtttTtf FOTrafcAypt t oreoon, thttksday, july rr, 5 INFORMATION IN ; COMPACT STYLE. wagon, which was a new one, one of kmu tnntfnued his fliarht and ran TntrDr.-Briiui,s delivery wagon.
