Ryan Writes Interestingly of Trip Across the Mountains Crescent City Is largely controlled by the sawmill company which owns n. largo mill In tho city, with a capac ity of 70,000 feet dally, and also one otit threo miles from tho city cutting 40,000 feet. They own tho only general morohnndiso store in tewn: thoy also own and control tho lino of steamers to 'FrlBco, thus control ling tho Bhipping business in nil lincB. Tho bench Is ono mass of logs, driftwood and wreckage, but tho town la nicely located, and a good seaport. Thoro is somo good farm land nenr tho city which extends for four or five miles out, ranging in price from $40 to $7G per aero. After leaving tho city, about flvo miles northeast on tho rond to Grants Pass, wo commenced to climb tho hills and soon came Into tho great redwood bolt of tlmbor, which, ex tended for 15 miles. Then wo struck tho south fork of Smith river whoro tho tlmbor Is mostly spruce, homlock, aldor and livo oak which .was fino for 10 miles, or moro, thon tho tlmbor wns common to Inforior. At tho South Fork hotel wo got hay for our horses paying ono and one half conts a pound. From thoro wo wont to AdaniB station, whoro tho stngo change horses, then on to Gas quot at tho foot of tho mountains, nlso a stngo station, whoro hay is ono and ono-hnlf conts a pound. Crossing tho mountains wo came to Patricks station nt tho foot on tho oast Bldo whoro hay Is two conts a pound. This is tho place whoro tho old man was killed a fow years ago for IiIb mouoy. Tho man who klllod him got $300. This mountain is over sovon miles tip on tho west sldo, and 11 vo miles down, 2000 foot on the cast sldo. From thoro to Monit ntontnl, n great mining district, own od by a company In Ban Frnnclaco thoro Ib somo splondld ore, and a good many mlnorB in that locality, and eomo good chnuccH tor moro uu thoro nro somo wonderful openings hero in tho two ranges of mountains, each 12 miles across, both high. Leaving Monumental wo drove down tho stoop mountains for four mllos, thon crossed tho Btato lino back into Oregon and camped for dinner on tho sldo of rond. Thon in tho aft ernoon wo drovo to Waldo, nlHo a mining town, both placor and quartz. This la an old plnco whoro mining hns boon carried on for yoars. Tho whole district Ib rich In ore, of which thoro Ib a largo vnrloty gold, ollvor. copper, lead, coal and iron. From thoro wo drovo four nxllos north, and camped near David Shn fors. Mrs. 8hnf.r Ib a cousin of J. H. linker of Salem. Fhom thoro wo tlrovo to Klrby, a small plnco.

What To Do. There is comfort in the knowlcdgp so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swnmp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of Jiquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, nud to get up ninny times durinc the night.

Orient Believes Us Lazy. It is startling to learn from th greatest living authority upon tho Japanese, Prof. Chamberlain, that "from hints dropped by several of tho educated, and from tho still moro interesting, because frankly naive, remarks mndo by Japanese servants whom I-havo taken with me to Europe at different times, 1 found that tho traveled Japanese consider our threo most prominent character istics to bo dirt,' laziness, and super stition." Thnt wo should seem relatively lazy to the Jnpaneso.and Chinese is Intelligible when wo consider their dogged and Indomitable industry. I romembor being greatly struck by tho following Instance of Chineso industry given In Sir George Staun ton's account of Lord Mncartnoy's oxperience as ambassador to China, compiled from his lordship's papers. Lord Macartney in passing through ono part of tho Chinese empire no ticed a man suspended by a rope hanging half-way down a precipice. Thinking that ho was collecting bird's eggs, Hko tho men who are so suspended from tho cliffs of Moher In Clare, Lord Macartnoy stopped to watch and to And that ho was culti vating a llttlo plateau of- a fow yards of land. IIo grew vegetables upon n number, of theso Jutting out coigns of vnntngo, but all of them together did not amount to extent to hnlf an acre. At tho bottom of tho precipice ho lived with a wlfo nnd'n largo family, vhom ho supported by his industry hanging dally half-wny down tho dizzy cliff, like ono "thnt gathers samphire, dreadful trndol" Apropos of tho ombnssy of Lord Macartney to China, I cannot resist quoting Do Quincoy'B humorous ac count of tho prosont sont with this ambassador by Gcorgo III, to tho ompcror of China. "Amongst tho proBonts cnrrlcd out by our first nmbnssndor, Lord Mncnrtney, to China was n stato coach. It had boon specially selected as n pcrsonnl gift by Gcorgo III,, but tho exact modo of using it was. nn intendo mystory to Poking. Lord Mncartnoy, indeed, had mado somo imperfect explanations upon this point; but, as Ills excellency communicated theso In n diplomatic whisper at tho momont of his departure, tho (celestial intellect was feebly illum inated, and it became necessary to call a cabinet council on uie griiim state question, "Where was tho emperor to sit?' The hammer cloth happened to be unusually gorgeous, nnd, partly on that consideration, and partly also because the box of fered the most elevated seat, was nearest to the moon, and undeniably went foremost, It was resolved by 'acclamation that the box was the 'imperial throne, and for tho scound jrel who drove, he might sit where ho could find a perch." "The horses, therefore, being har nessed." Do Quincey proceeds, "solemnly his imperial mnjesty as cended his now English throne under a flourish of trumpets, having the first lord of the treasury on his right hand and the chief Jestor on his left. Peking gloried in tho spectacle; and in tho whole flowery people, con structively present by representation, 'thoro was but ono discontented per 'boh, nnd that was tho coachman. This mutinous individual audacious ly shouted, 'Whero am I to sit?' But the privy council, incensed by his disloyalty, unanimously opened tho door and kicked him into the inside. Ho had all the inside places to him- I i. l..., n..n1. la ilm rnnnplfv flf HUH, Ulll. DUUH in v.. v ...,..,, ambition that ho was still dissatis fied. 'I Bay,' ho crlod out in an ex temporo petition ntjdressed to tho emperor throuch tho window 'I say, how nm I to catch hold of tho reins?' Anyhow,' was tho imperial answer, don't trouble me, man, in my glory, How catch tho reins? Why, through tho windows, through the keyhole anyhow.' Finally this contumacious coachman lengthened tho chock strings to a sort of Jury reins com municating with the horBOs, and with theso ho drovo ns steadily as Poking had any right to expect. Tho omperor returned after tho briefest or circuits. IIo deconded in great nomn from his throne, with tho sovercst resolution never to remount It, and he dedicated tho Btato conch thoncoforwnrd as a votive offering to tho god Fo-Fo whom tho learned moro accurately call Fl-Fl." TIiobo who drend China as tho yel low peril of tho future should road Sir Honry Colvlllo's "Tho Allies."

'That belongey Peking sldo; no my pidgin,' tho Cantouoso said when told ot tho Japanese victories in 1894." The Japanose, on the other hand, nro the most compact and patriotic ot people, to whom their country is more sacred than father, mother, sister, brother, wife, or child. To it thoy aro proud to pay, all they owe. "As an Instance," writes Sir Henry Colvllle, "of tho spirit of loyalty of tho Japanese, I must repeat n story which I hoard on tho best authority. Within tho last fow monthB a Jap anese offlcer perfected a wnrliko in vontlon of which nn American export iu tho temporary employ of tho Jap anese government happened to hear. It so impressed him that ho offered tho Japanese inventor $100,000 for it.
