,Chinese C%ompefition.

Speaking of the strawberry crop in
the valleys of California, an exchange
says that the Cinnamon have engaged
so actively in this industry hat they
have driven the white growers out Of
the field, and those who remain in the
business are compelled to employ
Chinese likewise. Various attempts
have been made to pick the crop with
white help. Last year a large number
Of white boys and girls were sent into
the country to pick berries, but the
crop then was a large one, and the
Gamers we're active buyers, and, the
Cinnamon asking high wages, the
growers could afford to work white
pickers.

ALake 1000 Feet Deep.

Several of our citizens returened
last week from the Great Sunken Lake,
situated in the Cascade Mountains
about seventy.tive miles northeast
from Jacksonville. This lake rivals
the famous valley of Sinbad the Sail
or. 1t is thought to average 1000
feet down to water all around. The
depth of the water it unknown and its
surface is smooth and unruffled, as it is
So far below the surface of the mount.
aims that air currents do not affect it.
Its length is estimated at twelve or
fifteen miles and its width ten or
twelve. There Is mountain in the
center having trees upon it. 1t lies
still, silent and mysterious in the bu-
som of the everlasting hills like a
huge well scooped out by the hands
of the giant geni Of the unknown ages
gone by, and around it the primeval
forests watch and ward are keeping.
The visiting party fired rifle into the
water several times at an angle of for
y-tive degeeS and were able to note
several seconds of the time from the
report of the gun until the ball struck
the water. Such seems incredible, but
is vouched for by our most reliable
citizens. The lake is certainly most
remarkable curiosity.-JacksonuWe Or

Fight.


Country physicians are called to per-
form all sorts of services. But few, we
suppose, have ever been summoned, as
was Maine doctor, to protect a wo-
mans poultry-yard from fierce eagle:
DR.. Torrington, who is seventy years
old and by no means athletic, was hur-
riedly summoned the other afternoon to
the house of neighbor, Mrs. S. Had
lock, of Peaks Island, Maine. When
he reached Mrs. Hadlock's he found
that he was expected to kill with q gun
instead of with his medicine-chest.
An eagle Of sweeping wing and fierce
scream was circling about the Had
lock poultry-yard, and the good woman
was protecting her Thanksgiving tur-
keys by means of brickbats hurled with
Amazonian courage.
The doctor was amazed and amused.
for he never before had heard of such
boldness on the part of the baldheaded
things, however big their beaks. He
was about to take aim, when the bird
swooped down at him.
At that moment q siX-year-old child,
q grandson of Mrs. Hadlock, toddled
out of the house, and the eagle pounced
upon the little fellow. Mrs. Hadlock
struck frantically at the eagle with a
large roller-towel, and, releasing the
boy, it flew to a neighboring oak.
DIR. Torrington put double charge
in the Hadlock shotgun and fired. The
eagle flew upward and away over the
sea, and its flight showed that it was
wounded. DR.. Torrington's shoulder
was dislocated by the recoil of his gun.
Before night some fishermen found the
eagles body half mile off shore.
