OREGON.
Cron ou,Iook-Enormous Blast.

PORTLAND, June 9th.-The reports from
Walla Walla valley to the effect that the
wheat crop this season will be a failure, owing
TO the drought is contradicted. Two weeks
ago rain was seriously needed, and just in
time it came. The fields in all parts of east
ern Oregon now look well, and will yield a
large harvest. The acreage this year is some
what larger than last, and the crop promises
TO raise last years figures, though perhaps not
in proportion to the increased acreage, as
some damage was done by the recent dry
weather. There are no crickets in Walla
Wala valley, and only few in the Spokane
region. The loss from this pest and from
grasshoppers will be slight. The hsy har-
vest commences in eastern Washington
shortly after the LIST of July, and the grain
harvest two weeks later. The hay crop will
be very large. The indications are favorable
for large crop of fruit of all varieties.
Tomorrow one of the largest blasts which
was ever made on the Pacific coast viii come
off on the line of the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company's new road on the Co
lumbia river, near Shell Rock, above the
Cascades. A huge rock which overhangs the
water, 200 feet high and 100 feet thick. will
be split from the mountain and hurled into
the river by one blast, to enable the men to
cut the roadbed along the base of the bluff.
Ten thousand pounds of giant powder will be
used at one time, and will be ignited by cleo.
tricity. The terrific blast will be witnessed
by large number of people.

Two Little boys Kill four Large Elk g.,
and Capture an Elk Calf.

One day recently T. p. Mcknight,
proprietor Of the pleasure resort at
Lower Soda Springs, Oregon, started
out with his son Charlie to hunt for
elk across the Santam river from the
Springs. After going few miles they
discovered an elk, and Charlie sue
coeded in killing it. They skinned it,
and taking Il portion of the meat on
their backs, and covering the remain
der, went home. After arriving home
they thought some wild animal might
carry Off the meat they had left before
they could return next day, so Charlie
and his little brother Clyde, taking
their blankets, guns and dog, started
back, expecting to camp with it
Soon after arriving at their destina-
ton they discovered n couple of elk,
and by stealing up on them managed
to kill both. a few moments after
this happened their dog commenced
terrible racket short distance away,
"and above the noise of its barking was
heard the peculiar sounds often made
by the calf of the elk. The boys went
to the place rs soon as possible, find
ing young elk calf, probably about
two weeks old. OF course they froze
to that calf; nobody would lose such
an opportunity to capture such rare
animal: but they were not to secure it
without struggle. Hearing n noise
close by they glanced up and were al
most petrified by seeing the old cow
coming to the rescue of her young.
She was only twenty or thirty feet
away, and coming like a whirlwind.
With her head down and her hair all
turned the wrong way she was a sight
to try the nerves Of one of our old time
hunters. No time was to be lost-a
seconds delay might result in the
death of both of the boys-but Charlie
was equal to the occasion. Grasping
his gun he drew sight on the terrible
animal, and shooting when she was
actually only about. ten feet Oft, caused
her to turn almost somersault and
lay at their feet dead. There was an
exploit equal to many that our read
ers have heard told around their fire.
sides, of some of the old hunters Of the
west, for be it remembered that Char
| lie is only Is years old and small for
his age, and Clyde is only IL. The
boys dressed their game, camped out
all night, and the next day took their
captive elk, went home and told their
story. Their father packed meat out
for two days, about 1900 pounds of it
altogether. Atbdny Democrat.

1.-THE CyclOpcsiia War;

The Cyclopedia War and the Lite

full and happy results for the readers
of books, and searchers after knowl-
edge The great Library of Univer-
sal Knowledge is announced to be
completed, ready for delivery to pur-
chasers, the early part OF July. 1t is
probably the largest and most import
ant literary work this country and the
century have seen. 1t is based upon
Chambers Encyclopedia, the last Lon
don edition of which is reprinted en-
tire rs a portion of its contents, IA largo
corps of American editors and writers
adding thereto vast amount of in
formation upon about 5000 subjects
in every department of human knowl-
edge. Chambers Encyclopedia, whose
distinguished merit is universally
known. is the laborious product of the
ripest British and European scholar
ship, but being a work OF foreign pro-
duction it has been naturally deficient
in its adaptation to the wants of our
American readers. In this new form
it is most thoroughly Americanized,
and becomes at once the largest and
most complete encyclopedia in the
field, at mere fraction of the cost OF
any similar works which have pre-
ceeded it, containing about 10per cent
more matter than Appleton's Ency-
clopcda, at less than one-fitth its cost,
and 20 per cent. more than Johnson's
Cyclopedia, at little more than one
fourth its cost.
The superlative value and import
ance of this great Encyclopedia, how
ever, lies especially in the fact that 1t
is brought within the reach of every
one who aspires after knowledge and
culture. Ii is really a library Of uni
versal knowledge. Ii brings liberal
education easily within the reach of
every plow-boy. Every farmer and
every mechanic owes il to himself and
to his children that such cyclopedia
shall henceforward form part OF the
outfit Of his home. To the intelligent
man of every walk Of life a aCyclopedia
is indispensable. 1t Is issued in vari-
Gus styles, in Il large, beautiful octave
volumes, varying in price from SIS
for the edition in cloth, to S25 for the
edition in full library sheep binding.
Liberal discounts even from these ex-
traordinary prices are allowed to
clubs; and the publishers, besides,
propose during the next two months
to distribute $l0,o0O cash in special re-
wards to persons who forward clubs Of
five, ten, or more subscribers. The
American Book Exchange, 764 Broad

Believing a sketch of sea otter hunt
ing will be of interest to our readers,
we copy the following extract from a
letter written at Sitka, Alaska, I'M
der date of April 1:
The skin of the otter is worth more
than that of any other animal except
ing the royal ermine. Itsbrings in
Alaska from $50 to $50. Unlike all
other skins of this country, it needs
little assistance from the fur dresser's 5
arts; the black hairs are not dyed and
the white ones not sewed in, therein
differing greatly from the imitation
called "pointed beaver" and from the
fur seal, the raw pelt OF which has no
more beauty than that of acalf. They
are very wary animals, and are worthy
Of being considered game, for none but
the most expert hunters are success
full in their pursuit. Unlike the fur
seal, millions Of which return annually
in great herds to the Pryboloff Isla nds,
where they are driven and slaughtered
by clubbing, the otters go singly or in
pairs, and their range Is a large one.
I believe they are found on the west
ern shores Of Behring's Straits, and
they have been plentiful from our
westernmost possession, the island OF
Alton, along through the Aleutian
group through the gulf OF Alaska. and
the Indians Of Vancouver's Island kill
them on the western coast while in
spring making their way north.
Men OF all nations join in the pur-
suit, and even undergo the hardships
incident to marriage with native wo-
men for their sake.
The otter was to certain extent
protected. No white man could kill
them. but with inadequate force to

RICH GOLD DISCovERY.-Ar repor

RICH GOLD DISCovERY.-A report
comes from Lewis county of the re-
cent discovery of very rich gold
ledge in the Cascade mountains, some
where near the head of the Cowlitz
river. 1t is said to yield the enormous
amount of $1,000 per ton, and was
found by parties from Portland and
Cowlitz Prairie, who were shown its
locality by Indians. 1t is known that
some parties have been prospecting in
the mountains during the winter, and
we are not surprised that they should
find good lodges, and we are only as
tonished at the amount the rock is re-
ported to yield. The mountains, no
doubt, are full of gold, silver, and 9TH
er minerals; in fact they have been
found at different places In small guam
titles, while the Indians report better
deposits, and have often shown to the
whites very rich ores. We believe
that in few years these same noun
tains will be producing large quanti-
ties OF gold and silver. The greatest
trouble now in finding deposits is the
roughncss of the country, its being
covered with dense forests of timber,
40 that prospecting is very difficult.
Some day, when it is better known,
miners will prospect every corner OF
il, and its bonanzas Of hidden wealth
will be brought to light.-Otymp'd
