I am afraid my letter may prove equally uncertain. - This morning, at 12 o'clock. Just as I was croKslug Ciciger's bridge across the Snake river, tb?re c-amn rolling over the water the heavy boom of a. cannon from one of the revenue cutters or gun boats lying In jtort at Nome City. And scarcely had the echo died away when a perfect fttslladtf occurred.'; It seemed as tliougli every man on the street had bis revolver In action. The military authorities have strictly forbidden .the use of firecrackers, so the only substi tute is bootleg and bip-iocket artillery. The ' military ; prochimatlou, among ottir things, says: UnauthoriztHl per sons are forbidden to carry firearms." From apiearauees at midnight I shiiilj Infer that; 00 fker cent of the, popula tion think themselves authorized. I looked out to Jhe shipping and there, among the barges, tugs, schooners and steamers and other peaceful craft, the pure whit hull of Uncle Sam's reven ue cutters could be seen.: Their rig ging was gay with bunting and, above all, streaming out uihju the breeze, was "Old dorr." Ou the" war tin town I saw dozens of my fellow citi zens celelatiug the day by lying In all sorts of post urs, oblivious of tluw surroundiugs- druuk. Tlia't is one fact that surprises me here, the utter un concern of the eople at drunkenness. lite lirst few tiays I kept busy drag ging drunken men out of the path, put- tmg their hats ou their faces to keep olf the r-nn and the dust. One man tas lyiug with face upturned in the itiddle of t lie street, tra Hie turning aside to keen from runniuif orcr him. m 1 asKiti a inau 10 neip me and we carried him to a pile of tnmlier. He partially rvlveil and said: "Now, see nere. j'oung fellah, you want to leave me alumv See? 1 ain't interfering Willi you." and lie arose unsteadilv. Btumblwl back toward ; where he had been lying, stagsrered and fell, striklr.? his bead on a s-jintling. . The blow stunned him, - and we tired him In a comforlable position and! left him. I noticed two men fighting In the busiest part of the main street.: Their faces were bloody and they .were- trying to use their guns. A man. stretchetl on the ground Inside them lav throuirh- out the whole turmoil In stupor. Men stepped over him uncon cernedly, a team drove by. missing bis Head less than a foot with the whwl spoke to an old-timer atmnt it. faid: "Oli. you'll soon rreT nuul tn ir They don't get hurt." ; " .

It takes a baby to reach the heart of a ; crowd, especially where babies are such a scarce commodity. I wish I could take a ! phonographic riH-ord of a tyiical half hour at. Nome, -n-e--predominating sounds would be tle "jkop. pop,' 10p" f the exhaust of Ine gasoline engines on: the tugs and laiirches; nest would Come the son 11 1 of paw.; a ml hammer: mixel through all the noise you could hear: "Heic's your ral caw's milk, only loiir bits n quarL" "Fresh fish .

They had two gold oaas of gold ; from 4 two-and-a-half lay clean up. It weighed up a little over fsnuo.

In the erec tion of warehouse, the Association will adhere very closely to the original plaus of H. 8, Oiie, of this city, who for several . months "has bad in con templation tbe erection of such a ware bouse in this city, for the accommoda tion of his commission business. Mr. tJile has now accoclated himself with the Association ami will work In uni son with the members of that body. Tbe proposed warehouse will be j a three story frame building and base ment, 50x100 feet. . V Tbe yield of prunes In this section Is going to prove larger than bas ln-en exis?ctetl. . It Is the coucensus of opin ion among the conservative growers that constitute the membership of the Association that . the crop of prunes, all varltles, in the immediate vicinity or Salem, will this year amount to be tween 75 and 100 carloads. The larg est crop ever grown in Oregon , was in -1808 when 115 carloads of tbU'fruIt were shipjHul from this point. So It will tie seen from this there will not Ike such a great deficiency in the year's crop. - The acreage In prunes this year, contends the Association. Is enough greater to make np for the shortage of the crop. PB08ATE GSDCBS MACE. Orphan Children Adopted.- by Their .Stepfather A Special Adminls- ' trator Appointed.
