ALBANY. Or., July a.-The excursion
to Albany yesterday on account of the
annual encampment of the" O. N.. G. wai
great success. The visitors' witnessed
the dress parade, which mat with approv
al Rev. E. P. Hill addressed th, sol
dler boy at Haeelman's Grove, where
they appeared without anna.'
' The Vancouver troops came In at noon
and participated In the dress parade,
Which took place at 4:30. One of the
pleasing feature of the day-was the
presentation to Colonel Everett of a
handsome saber. .
Rev; B. P. Hill's sermon was based on
"Th Strength of True Manhood,", and
his text, "I have written to you young
men because you are strong," was most
appropriate. He said that the strength
f true manhood embodied five essentials
-physical strength, purpose, persistency.
Courage and faith. . . ;
Three trains came from Portland, and
Albany was completely1' filled with people
from the surrounding country, who had
gathered, to see the day's doings. The
Third Regiment band gave an enjoyable
concert during the afternoon, at which
an 'Original composition by the leader.
3. H. Everest, entitled "On the Hike.1
was given. It was composed In memory
of last year's march,, and was decided by
the crowd to be "hot stuff." Bugle calls
and the clink of tin drinking cups sound
through the composition in a most natu
ral manner, and the piece reflects great
credit on the Ingenuity of the composer,
If there is any one in Oregon who has
a handsomer saber than that given
Colonel Everett, It should be known.
Under General Beebe's orders, Colonel
Everett formed his regiment three side
to a hollow square about the flagpole.
In a proper speech. General Bee be pre
sented the saber to Colonel Everett, who
was completely overcome by surprise. He
responded briefly. As to the saber itself.
It has a blade plated with gold, Upon
wnich Is engraved Colonel Everett's
name. The handle bears tha coat of
arms, and on the' gold-mounted scabbard
in letters of gold are the words: "Pre
sented to Colonel Edward Everett by the
Officers of His Staff, July 1, 190S.

SEASIDE, July 21.-Charles Stahl. a
brother-in-law of Police Officer Jack
Roberts, of Portland, was drowned here
yesterday at noon. Stahl who Was a pow
erful young man, about 25 years old, ven
tured out far beyond the surf, became ex
hausted and was carried out to sea by a
strong cross-current which sweeps off to
the north Just outside the line of break
ers. A gallant attempt to save him ' was
made by Nace Grant the only "olhei
swimmer near, while a large crowd on
the beach, destitute of life boat or life
line, watched the struggle with the sea.
When Brant ' reached the shore, abso
lutely exhausted, and told his story, Stahl
was still visible but the absence of any
life, saving apparatus made it Impossible
to do anything and after a few minutes
Stahl vanished from sight
Great indignation is being expressed
that no facilities for life saving are here,
as had a boat or a lif e line been available
etahl's life might easily have been saved.

been notified by Major Humphreys, of
Fort Stevens that three of the enlisted
men have deserted, and that there Is a

reward afterwards to warrant In making
much effort to capture them.

Of Thunder Mountain Don't Look
, Good to Mr. Miles.
RAKER CITT, July 21.-The following
letter from Thunder Mountain, written
July 7th, by D. J. Miles, formerly super.
Intendsnt of the Iron Dyke mine on
Snake River, .to his brother, J. D. Miles,
of this city. Is both Interesting and in
structive; "We arrived at Thunder Mountain June
0, Before coming to Thunder Mountain
we prospected in Smith Creek and Big
Creek. These two creeks are about 22 and
30 miles from Thunder Mountain, Big
Creek being 22 miles, but found nothing
that we considered worth locating. 1
have been here now about two weeks and
have my first color of gold to see yet,
outside of the Dewey mine. They have
some gold In the Dewey, but I do not
know how extensive It Is. They do not
allow anyone In the mine. The gold all
occurs In the cleavage of the rock. It it.
pasted on the sides of the porphyry
(there Is no quarts In the country) Just
as If' you had put, mucilage on the side
of a rock and sprinkled It with fine gold.
You can take this a mo rock and scrupt
the outside off (for it Is soft) and pan thh
body of the rock, and you cannot get a
color. If there is anything in the body oi
the rock, If Is base; but 1 do not thin
there is much in It. I am going to find
out, however, by having some of it as'
sayed.
'The Tiger group of mines, which lies
about flvj miles east of the Dewey, and
which was bonded for 270,000. Is working
two or three men. They have only about
20 feet of tunnel on the whole group. We
took samplees from the clippings from
various places all over the dyke, and
prospected It by-panning, but were urreuc.
cessful in every attempt to raise a cdlot.
You hear on the outside about this being
a free-gold belt, but in my short sojourn
pere, I have not been able to find any,
free or otherwise. It may be that the
Dewey will develop into a mine, but thai
will have to be determined by depth. It
looks more like a placer proposition than
anything I know of.
"In the tunnel, 20 and 30 feet - under
ground, charcoal and pine burs are en
countered, which are said to, have free
gold Sticking to them.
"I am not at the present time going to
condemn the, country (although It begin.
to look as if It needed it) for It is possible
that there Is values In the rock. I am
going to thoroughly satisfy myself, how
ever, by having rock tried from those
properties which are considered the best,
when that Is done, I will be satisfied.
"There are three towns here, one at the
Junction of Main and West Monumental
Creeks, one on Main Monumental at the
mouth of Mule Creek and one on Marble
Creek. The first- Is called Thunder Moun
tain Town, and Is about five miles from
the Dewey mine. The second is called
Roosevelt and Is about three miles from
the town of- Thunder Mountain and two
miles from the Dewey mine. The third,
called Marble City, is about five miles
east of the Dewey mine on Marble Creek,
where I am in camp at present I do not
believe that there is to exceed 200 people
in the three towns; with the population
about equally divided. Of course, there
is people camped and scattered all ovei
the hills. While there is still a good
many coming in, there are more going
out"

Spring wheat and oats will be a fair crop,

OLD KING'S OAK
Planted in flew York in 1860 and
' Now Doomed to Death.
NEWrORKV July 2J.-The English oak
which was planted In Central Park more
than, W years ago by King Edward VIII,
then Prince of Wales, Is dying and will
probably have to be cut down In a short
time, as all . efforts to" preserve It have
been unavailing.. The tree has been dying
for some time, but attention, has now
been called to Its condition by the Illness
of him who planted It The tree Is on the
westerly . border of the Mall, near, the
Eagle atatue, and near It Is a magnificent
American elm which was' planted by the
Prince at the same time. The elm Is In
line condition. '
When the Prince of Wales visited this
country n ISCO, Comptroller Andrew H.
Green Invited "the youthful visitor to
plant two trees In the park. The Invita
tion was accepted and an English oak
and an American elm were selected as
the trees. The ceremony took place on
October 12 in the presence of a large
crowd. Mayor Fernando Wood and Pres
ident Blatchford of the park board were
present. After the saplings had been
placed in the holes prepared for them
the Prince of Wales shoveled In some or
the soli. After the ceremony the Prince
and his retinue made a tour of the park
and then visited the home of Mayor
Wood. 1
The oak sapling was then about three
Inches In diameter. The trunk Is now
about two feet thlpk. It is bifurcated
four feet from the ground and Is about
40 feet high. It la gnarled and not grace
ful. The elm, on the contrary, Is a fine
tree, about 100 feet high, with spreading
branches, and is sound, and healthy. The
gardners say that the elm has "crowded"
the oak and retarded its growth by throw
ing out its roots In such a way that tha
oak cannot get proper nourishment. The
park authorities have done all they can
to stimulate the dying tree, but they say
it is doomed to a speedy death.

POPCORN FORTUNE
Business That Turned Out Mil
lion Dollars for Cleveland
Man.
Cl.l-A I ..A.ND. O., July 21. D. S. Hum
phrey, the man who has popped his way
from poverty to a fortune, has rounded
the million mark and Is receiving the
congratulations of friend who have
grown . robust on popcorn and molasses
candy while Humphrey and his brothers
and sisters have grown rich.
"If you want to make money," says the
man who has made It, ''don't trust to
luck. Make up you mind what the people
want, make yourself believe that they
will pay for it, and then give it to them."
Back In 1893 Humphrey stood on a cor
ner In this city and looked longingly at a
popcorn cart. The corn smelled appetis
ing and Humphrey was hungry. He
jingled a very small quantity of very
small change in the pocket of bis worn
trousers, contemplated the corn for a
time, and then bought some. Then he did
a bit of thinking. He noticed that the
popper used by the vender wasn't mucn
of a popper, but that the man had no
trouble In selling his wares. He had an
Idea ""that he could make a better one
and went home.
Two years before the Humphrey family,
consisting of Harold, David, Emma, ana
himself, had come "to Cleveland from
Huron County. A mortgage von the farm
had been foreclosed, and they had to
borrow 1100 to get out of town. Their
Idea in coming to this city was to begin
all over again, and this they did. In
fact they began several times. Bad luck
pursued them, and the oftener they tried
to succeed the more dismal were their
failures. On the night of the popcorn
Incident they were In sad straits.
Mr. Humphrey confided hie corn-popper
ideas to the family and then made a
popper. It was a good ' thing and h
tried to sell It. He talked corn-poppers
to every man he could find, but they all
said there was no money In making pop
pers, and Humphrey decided he had one
more failure on his hands.
He concluded, however, to use the pop
per up, and so he started selling popcorn.
He got an old cart, loaded It up, and
pushed it by hand to Cable Park, where
there was a fireworks show that night
