I Jim Langille returned last week from his diggings on McCoy creek. Jim says that during a severe storm in that neighborhood on the afternoon of Fri day, September 11, he is quite certain a falling meteor struck the earth near his camp. A fierce rain was falling when all of a sudden there was a deafening swishing sound and the earth trembled as in an earth quake. Ed Fewel was with Langille at the time, and their first - thought was that lightning had landed on their 60 pounds of giant powder, but inves tigation proved all powder safe. This occurred about 4 o'clock in the after noon, and Langille thinks this must have been what the Portland people; mistooK ior an eartnquuKe. Saw the Carnival.

Curtis, the famous correspondent, who has traveled in every country of the globe, and been a boarder at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York ; the Cecil, London ; the Conti nental, Paris, and enjoyed the comforts of the kahns of India and Persia, de clares that nothing helps a town so much as a good hotel. He quotes the trifling influence the building of a new courthouse or other building has on a town com pared with that of a modern hotel and places the new hotel above every effort to advertise and help a town to a dignified position."
