From Lwii and Clark Journal. August 14tb, 1804. "At fourteen mile we reached a ereek on the south on which the W aha reside, and at seventeen miles and a quarter, formed a camp on a aandbsr. to the soath of the river opposite the lower point of a large island. From this point Hergeant Ordway and four men were detached to the Maha Tillage with a flag- and a present, in order to induce them to eome nd hold a council with us. Af ter crossing a prairie covered . with high Trass the reached the Maha creek, along which they proceeded to its three forks, which join near the Tillage; they crossed, the north branch and .went along the south; the walk was very fatiguing, as they were ; forced to break their way through grass, sunflowers and thistles, all above ten feet high and Interspersed with wild pea. Five miles from our camp they reached the position of the anci ent Maha village; it had once consisted of 300 cabins, but was burned about four years ago, soon after the small pox had de stroyed 400 men and a proportion of women and children. On a hill in the rear of the village are the graves of the nation, to the south of which runs the Maha creek; this they crossed where it was altmit ten yards wide and follow ed its course to the Missouri, pas sing along a ridge of bill for one and a half mile, and a long pond hetween that and the Missouri; they then recrossed the Maha creek and arrived at the catup, . having seen no track of Indiana nor' any signs of -recent cultiva tion." . fjhej-flnally have a Pete at Soner hofTt At least, Bishop Potter Is being "mentioned.; ,'.

I on beason tor salmon For some reason the annual runs of salmon into the mouth of the Columbia river are gradually growing later in ths year until St appears necessary that the date for t the closing of ths season should bo extended at least two weeks. The habits of the salmon, if they mav be exiled habits, have changed within the past five years until what has here tofore been known a the "July run" rarely begins until some time daring the first half of August. This may be, no doubt is, the result of propagating salmon artificially, which, for some rea sons that seem reasonable ami for oth era that we may not understand, has gradually thrown the main annual run into a later part of the season. At any rate, the fact confronts tb Cshermaa, and since salmon are propa gated for the sole purpose of eatchlag them, the open season should be made to conform to the hauits of the fish themselves. This complaint has been repeated annually now for five years, at least,' and should be answered by some legislative action that will meet the changed conditions which have ap peared since the enactment of the -resent Jawj . . After all the investigations and per sistent study of the characteristics of the salmon, there is a great deal, relat ing to their habits that is yet in the realm of guess-work. Jt is thought that the young salmon, as a rule, put to sea when about six months old, and do not return to fresh water until they are four years old, but where tbey remain during those years, what tbey live on, whether they remain in schools, how tbey come to an understanding as to when to return, and bow those belong ing to the Coluingia river become senar jated frorn those going to the Sacramen to, or whether they ever get together in the first place, and why the two year olds do not come in when, they see the four year olds make a break for the old spawning ground an these conun drums, nnd others, are altogether unan swerublc. Sfc But it is certain that artificial prop agation is a great success, and is do ing wonders in restoring the salmon output of the Columbia river, which, in the aggregate, has during thirty years amounted in export value to a sum not ' far from $100,000,000.

During the great contest between the gold standard and free silver in 1896, j Carl Bcburz made one of the most effec I tive arguments of that memorable cam- paign against the folly and dauger of undertaking the free and. unlimited coinage of silver by this country at the ratio of ia to lJ but with that lack of stability of opinion, and in obedi ence to that grain of revolutionary spirit which guided him at tbo very be ginning of his career, even in Germany, in 1000 Hchurz flopped to the support of Bryan and free silver with the ex cuse that Imperialism was the para mount issue at that time and every oth er question should be subordinated to the imiuent necessity of throttling that groat jnenace in its infancy. In the campaign of 1900 Bcburz went so 'far as to addreH a letter to becre tary liago in whic.h he attempted to justify his suport of Mr. Bryan upon the ground that, if elected, he would be unable to interfere with the gold standard which even then had been "irrevocably established," because of Republican control of the United Htatcs benaU;, etc. the same argument that is now being used by Parker's supporters to show the inquiring voter that he will .W "safc" because his hands will be tied, if elected I .But with that candor which is one elf . Bryan's most admirable qualities, het?oace made a public statement in reply tothe assurance of Schurz that the gold standard would remain, even under nis4 administration, in 'which he saidt ' -v - " If there is, ny one who believes the gold staixjnrd is a good thing or that it must bemaintaincd, 1 want him not to eiist hi Tote for me, because I promise him that. "it. will not be main tained in this country longer than I am able to get rid of It.". How little even Bryan himself at that timo thought that at the very next Presidential election he Would be loine no doubt, uTrTrl l viiKiuiaiu nuu uuti ucrome.ouca an en thusiastic advocate of thegfcVl stand ard that he would rather nobe the Democratic nominee at all than'lo not have it widely understood that he is a firm, supporter of the gold standardod that even if his election should be a companied by that of a Democratic Congress, his veto would interfere, irlT . . lr necessary, to prevent the enactment of a free silver coinage law. But as John Sharo Williams said in reply to Hill's suggestion that it'woold not. do to incorporate his income tax law plank ia the national platform be cause it would make it impossible to carry New York, Well, that is so. We want votes." ?-, . ' - s ; ? . . AN ESTIMATB OF BBTAK BY A .: PARKER SUPPORTER. . i The Brooklyn Eagle is one of the most earnest supporters of Judge Park er la. the present campaign, and is leav ing nothing undone to strengthen his Chances for success. Nevertheless, the Eagle supported McKinley in 1896 and again four years later, though a Demo- eratie paper, on the money issue alone, To show our readers the peculiar status in which the spectacle of a pronounced) gold standard roan, converted from free silver since nobody knows when, on, a platform that ignores the question Alto gether, places the Democratic party, we qnote the following paragraphs from the Lagle in one of its recent iasaes: "t"A few years' ago Bryan was taken seriously. ; That attention should be paid to what he said was on of the necessities of the situation. lie went on saying and kept on saying and he is still at it, but circumstances after rases. Alienation has kept pace with almost every utterance. Ho much worse than bis first has his last situation be come that unqualified approval of the Ht. Louis candidates and platform by the Commoner would generate misgiv ings. ;.. .' , ;. :j I 4 . . ' ' '' "Bryan has lost control. A third great defeat has been added to adverse balance on his political ledger. He was commander-in-chief.. He ia "now among the stragglers. He never, waa indigen ous to Democratic soil, nor should he ever have teen included among the as sets of other than the Populists , Two of bis reasons for 'regularity' this year hostility to Imperialism and nis anti pathy to a large armyare not well chosen. lie still wants free eolnage and free riot. lie still wants to ex terminate all the biir corporations. which means that be would if he could paralyze the industries of the country. And what makes hli case absolutely hopeless is his estimate -of himself. He constitutes himself the sole and infalli ble judge of the distinction between right and wrong. ; None ean be right who differ from him, none wrong who agree with him. There Is sincerity no where but at Lincoln, Neb., and only there when he happens to be at home, which is equally true of every other quality figuring in the list of virtues, political and otherwise From high water mark as candidate for President, his tide has subaided he is now skir mishing on the fringes' of the party be controlled. It is a strange transforma tion scene. It has come to pass that nothing he can say is invested with moment, that nothing he ean do is re garded as of consequence. His Tate has no parallel in political history. TIED ABSURDITY OF IT ALL! The high water mark has undoubted ly been reached in this country in two different lines of endeavor, to-wit, the undertaking of colossal exposition en terprises and the formally elaborate and conspicuously tiresome manner of notifying candidates of their nomina tion for President and Vice President. As to the latter, there is altogether too much pomp and ceremony and hifal utin' folderol and lon drawn out ex pressions of opinion on great questions that contain nothing new or, for that matter, particularly, interesting cer tainly not at all instructive. Every body knew that Roosevelt was nominat ed before ho was officially notified, in deed, most people arc satisfied within their own miuds that he knew it him self even before he was notified. In Judge Parker's case, we know that he must have heard ol it, because he and bis family were on the front stoop look ing down the Hudson, as though they were actually looking for the boat that, sure enough, was on the way to Esopus at that very time! But this isn't the worst feature of it. Unk' Gassaway is still to be noti fied of his nomination. For some un accountable reason ho has been kept in the dark as to the outcome of the St. Louis convention, so far as it related to himself, at least, (though since the trip to Esopus he of course knows of Parker s nomination) but in a short time he, also, is to be told of the impo sition played upon him by is party last July. When this delayed duty is performed, then the Kopiiblicans will begin it all anew nnd Rooncvclt will write bis let ter of acceptance.-' Following that, Senator Fairbanks will issue a similar letter, when Judge Parker will appear on the stage and declare himself "more at length" God save the mark! In deed, lie has publicly' said that be will do "after he w what Roosevelt has to say." Having the last say in this manner gives him a distinctive ad vantage over Roosevelt, which Republi cans generally will regret to see the President permit, having, as he has, the governmental reins in his hands and an autocratic tendency in his mind. By; the time the ceremony has gone around the second time, including the Prohibitionists, the Populists, the Soci alists and all tbo other 'ites and 'ists, election day will have arrived and the bewildered and mentally exhausted vot er will be largely inclined io drift to the bsjattered standard of Tom Wat son, after all, for the sole reason that is first ilesire will be to discover where e is at! . : f . . 1 MOUNTAINS Of HIDDEN WEALTH. The extensive development work be ing continually done in the Bohemia ffc - county, wgetn- w.tn the encouracme retwrts from tie. Blue Rlvef mines in the region be yojld the Calipooia river in both Lane and Linn counties, confirm the belief, generally held more than forty years ago,' thit there are vast quantities of gold hidden away in the Cascades which will ;-ct m'ae that section a heavy pro ducer of tbe yellow metaL. As a eontinvation of these mines tlie Quart zvillt, dis&jct In Linn and Marion counties is knowk to be rich with gold, though development work has never more than produced, it in sujeient quan tities toencourage isiue owners to pro ceed for a time withnt the returns hoped for. But the further the work is pushed in the Bohemia, and Blue River districts the better the returns and the more favorable the prospect for the de- velopment of an extensive mining re- 'sion, nominally at oar very doors. It i gratifying to know that work Is again to be started fa the Quartz- ville district, for there is every reason j to believe that these gold bearing . ledge all belong to the same group and that persistent development and con tinued prospecting will yet prove the faith held by men who began to delve ia that acction more than forty yean ago,. ' ; ,r '-- -.-. Judge Ryan, of Clackamas connty, spent about $4,000 in the Bloe River district thirty years ago, but,' like most pioneer miners, lost his investment but paved the way for others, who began where he became discouraged and aban doned the attempt. But this is the his tory of gold mining. It requires the investment and loss of ten dollars for every one that is finally added tb the world volume of currency, but when once added, it becomes a permanent part of the circulating medium. Though later in its mineral develop ment, there is good roason for believ ing that the . mineral belt which has for fifty years been a prominent factor in the aggregate wealth of Southern Oregon, extends as far north as the Bantiam river and that at present it is only in the incipient stages of its de velopment. COST OF ATTENDING THS ST. LOUIS FAIR. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of tho 9th inst. has an editorial devoted to a consideration of the cost of attending the Exposition in that city, which' is well worth reading. It suggests that the true answer to the query as to the cost is, "as little as you like." And this is correct. It is an unusu ally expensive place to go if you buy everything that is offered you, or if you do not look around to see where you may do lietter. Rooms are very high there, as well as meals, that is, Mine meals and some rooms. It is recalled that Secretary Hay, and bis party paid $700 dollars for staying at the Southern Hotel for a week, or less. But this priv ilege is not confined to Secretary Hay. Any other American citizen can pav precisely as much, if he wants to andj is able. But the writer, wno was at the Exposition during the same week, paid all of his expenses with $30. And he had good meals and accommodations at the "Inside Inn." Even this, however, is not the mini mum cost of good meals and rooms. That rate can easily be reduced by one half, depending upon the taste nnd purse of the visitor. The statement of the Globe-Democrat is literally true "as little as you wish." It is estimated that at this time there are 50,000 vacant guest rooms in St. Louis, and that the number of visitors at the Exposition has reached 6,000,000. We clip the following extract from the editorial referred to: "We find in the Brookficld (Mo.) Ga zette, whoso editor recently saw the Fair, some well-conceived remarks on the subject: Tho buildings alone,' says this eyewitness, 'even il there were nothing in them, would be worth travel ing many, miles to see. One look at that magnificent city at night, with its cuperb electrical display, is the event of n lifetime. It is' the greatest and grandest exposition the world has yet produced; it is doubtless the greatest the world will ever produce; it is johk1 bly the last world's fair that will be held for many years, possibly the last that will ever le held. Another of the same size, with a similar congregating! 01 strange peoples, will hardly me again within the twentieth century. Where woulld the 30,000,000 to create it come from, in addition to the enor mous labor, freely rendered for the com mon good and enjoyment f No, the counterpart of the Fair will never be seen. It will stand unique in history as first among international expositions and costly beyrnid any hope of coming out financially even,", PRESTO, CHANGE I When -the anthracite coal strike had reached its acute stage two years ago, or thereabouts, and President Roosevelt offered his services as a mediator, every citir.cn of the. United States loudly praised the courage and patriotism which prompted the generous act. Prob ably no greater crisis, involving the very foundation of government on the one hand and submission to it on the other, has confronted the people of this country since the electoral muddle in 1877. Homething had to be done, ami at once, but there seemed no one to do it. At that juncture, President Roose velt, with that impulsiveness which makes bim "dangerous," put himself into the breach, the parties were brought together, settlement ' of tbo difficulty was had and the crisis was passed. ' Everylody applauded the act of the President, Democrats as well as Repub licans. There was no campaign "on at the' time. ' i But opinions have changed. It is now necessary to find fault with Roosevelt. In this line and with thia object in view, the following from CoL Watter son appeared in the Louisville Courier Journal of the 6th inst.; "The eoal strike business merely illustrated the willingness of the President to assume extraordinary iwwrrw powers not vesteii in a President and to exeuse the us urpationthe , gentle usurpation some people would call it bv the evasive pretext that be acted as a citizen, and not as a Magistrate," It is sufficient to remark, that per haps nothing will be said during the '-.uiK.t;, iy nnj speaaer or 1 writer in any party, so utterly devoid a a.. in. v. 1 ntBro- .- . ..-.- ' .iS I illnstrates the paucity of ammunition' A'uiwrvie arsenal, it 11 only J From tho Offlco Window With commendable enterprise, and with conspicuous courage, the San Fran cisco - Bulletin ; has inaugurated : a "Beauty Contest" for the purpose of ascertaining the most handsome woman in California between the ages of 17 andthe limit.

"'-'-O O Art in' Embryo. Not many weeks ngo an artist from the Eastern states who hns quite an extensive reputation for talent iu his profession, wwe engnged in making a, sketch while visiting Yaqnina Bay, sitting on a stone not far from the beach and transferring to the canvas a part of the magnificent landscape in the direction of the mountains. While thus deeply interested with brush in one hand and palette in the other, two little native urlliins who badnevcr sera any such performance befor stood by looking at each move ment with astonished gaxe, when one of them said to the other, " I'd 'think J it would b? awful- hard to paint two i pictures that way at onre," when the' other one commented niton - tin situa tion after a tnttse of two juintiti-s by saying. ."WeH, I like tlu one on his thumb best!"
