WHAT SoUvENIRs.-The OregOnian
reports that the Bureau of immigration
of the railroad companies is preparing
500 souvenirs, one for each of the guests
to arrive next week. 1t consists of small
white satin bag filed with wheat of this
years crop. On one side is printed in
black letter, with compliments of the
Bureau of immigration, Portland, Ore
gon, to commemorate the completion of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, Septem-
ber s, 1893" On the other side there is a
very neat vignette, giving views of Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle, and of wheat
field with railroad train, thresher and
men at work. The engraving is from the
house of 4. Anderson 81 Co. Above the
vignette are the words: "The Pacific
Northwest Wheat Souvenir. Northern
Pacific, Oregon and California, and Ore
gon Railway and Navigation companies;
the Oregon and Trans continental Com
pany and the Oregon Improvement
Company" The souvenir was designed
by Mr.. r. W. Mitchell, Chief Clerk of the
Land Department, and is Il model of
beauty.

There Is no new feature in the strike
amongst the Union men employed at
North and South Wellington mines. The
Union men, numbering 133, are still out,
but find employment at the Vancouver
and East Wellington mines At present
no coal can be obtained from the Duns-
muir mines, and there are only 80 or 40
men employed on the engines and other
departments keeping the shafts free and
| The works in good order, thus avoiding
possible decay. tits expected that with
IN fortnight the Vancouver Co.'s new
shaft will be delivering sufficient coal to
meet the temporary demand. The men
on strike at Wellington hold out, and
most or them have means at their back.
IIhey all seem to be perfectly willing to
lgo to work on the terms they ask, but the
difference has not yet been compromised.
East Wellington has some 10 or 100
employed, and is ready to supply de-

i TOWING LOGS 4 THOUSAND MILEs-A
correspondent of the Northeastern Lum-
herman writes as follows: IAN extra
ordinary innovation is now under ex-
pertinent. There is on its way to this
city from st. John, n. B., an immense
raft of timber ma up in sections of
about 70 f. ct in length. being in all 1900
feet in length by 20 in width. contain
ing something like 2,5O0,OOO feet of
spruce. By bringing timber in this
manner there will be saving of from
SS0t } to $4,000, Ifit succeeds it may,
IN measure, Tevolutionize the ship
ment of wood from the East. This
trial trip may result in great change
IN the eastern lumber trade, but as yet
hold my breath and await results.
This, if successful, will have a direct
bearing on the traffic question. 1t is
we'll known that labor is much cheaper
in Canada than here, and if RATS can be
safely transported the products will
come in direct competition with high
priced American labor, and the next
Congress will have a big thins-in the
water-to talk about"
On Monday evening at 7 o'clock,
Charles Besserer, editor of the Walla
Walla Wdtchmdn, shot and seriously
wounded Edward Kleber, brewer of
that city 1t appears that Besserer pub
lBhed an item putting up Walla Walla
beer, which angered Kleber, who was
agent for San Francisco article, and
when BesGerer presented bill for ad-
vertising, Kleber grew furious. Later in
tie day Kleber drank to excess and went
cut for the express purpose of shooting
Besserer. Going 10 the office he began
a TRADE of abuse and to avoid him, Bes- |
serer started off up the street, followed
by his antagonist He took hold of Bes- |
serer and struck him several times, say
ing then that he was going to kill him,
when Besserer shot. Besserer then gave
himself up and was committed without |
bail. Some of Kleber's friends talked |
of lynching, but they soon quieted. At
the preliminary examination, verdict |
was reached that the shooting was iusti-
fable. The defense was conducted by |
Hon. T. H. Brents and 7. J. Anders, and |
the prosecution by George t. Thompson
Kleber is still alive, with small hopes of
his recovery, |

The Recent Volcano
The HAGUE, Sept. .4-The government
of the Dutch East Indies telegraphs that
the town of Telok-Belong is probably
totally destroyed by the recent volcanic
eruption. The district in which the
town is situated is entirely inaccessible
as all roads are obliterated. There is
nothing from Lampaug, on the south
coast of Sumatra. Some of the light
houses in the streets are standing, but
the lights are extinct. The report of
the destruction of Tiiiringine by a tidal
wave and drowning of 10000 people
there Is confirmed.

A IA Hour Clock.

There is something new. 1t is "a
hour clock. 1t makes the hours from
up To "a. The most conspicuous
innovations are in the marking OF the
dial and the movements Of the wheels
which drive the hands. The minute
hand, instead of making twelve rev.
olutions TO every revolution of the
hour hand, makes twenty-four rev.
olutions, while the hour hand passes
around once.
The lettering on the dial is i'm Arabic
instead OK RoInann umerals, and the
spaces between the figures are only
half as great as on the dial of the or
dinary l2-hour clock. The minute
hand marks half minutes and whole
minutes. This clock will do away
with the A. NJ. and p. NJ, which
sometimes prove very confusing TO
railroad passengers.
You would be surprised to see how
people take 10 that clock. l have had
any number OF offers for IL, but do
not care to sell II, as il is the only one
i have, hut | will be able to supply a
small part OF the demand within day
or two. BY that time every man
iifactnrer will be turning out these
clocks. They are something new,
and that is all that New York people
want. Without doubt these clocks
will soon take the place of the old
fashioned tine pieces.
This IS the story of a New York man
ufacturer. His clock that does away
with the A. NJ. IS and Z. NJ. s would
be a blessing.
