Situation at Resign.

A special to the OregoniGn, under
date of September 1st, says: The
miners at the Roslyn mines held
mass meeting to-day and denounced
the terms proposed by the Northern
Pacific Coal Company, as get forth
IN Vice-President Buekley's tele-
gram of yesterday. They unani-
mously took the position that the
whole movement on thu part of the
company is to break up the Knights
of Labor so far as these mines are
concerned. To this the miners say
they will not submit, although in
taking this stand no threats were
made or hard words used. They be-
lieved that if they did go to work
they would soon DO discharged one
by one.
Unless some compromise is effect
ed there will be contest. When it
is remembered that ut mnies l and 2
there are 100 men employed. all of
whom are Knights of Labor, the
magnitude of the difficulty may be
understood. In addition to these
there are about sixty miners waiting
for work. About TWO hundred of the
miners are married and have their
families in Roslyn, and large pro-
portion of these have purchased
their homes and have partly paid for
them. There are 325 children of
school age in Roslyn. Thus it may
be seen there are in the neighbor-
hood of 1900 persons whose interests
are involved with this difficulty.
The company's stores are closed
to all except cash customers. Count
ing to-day, the men have been idle
five days. Many of the men owe q
balance of the purchase money on
their lots and for lumber for houses
erected in the place of those de-
streyed by the recent fire. To many
loss of work now means loss of all
their savings The public is con-
csrned in the we'll being of such a
large number of people, who, tempt
ed by the promises held out by the
West, joined the tide of immigra-
tion.

tion Irving Park is being improved
to the extent Of rendering 1t a first

The Hop harvest

At present there seems 10 bo plen-
ty of pickers in sight and the wealth.
er is all that can be desired. The
highest offer made at Puyallup so
far is 16 cents per pound. Mr.. j. V.
Meeker, at Puyallup, commenced on
Thursday to pick some early varie-
ties that he Is growing in his nur-
sery. They consist of Oregon Jones,
East Kent Goldin.s. Mid Kent Gol>
dings, and other varieties. They are
not found to be prolific bearers, but
MIR. Meeker will fully test them.
E. Meeker & Co. will commence
Oh Monday to gather in the crop
that will necessarily come off their
100 acre field. They promise well
and the picking will last six weeks.
This firm last week bought and sold
on orders lot of 113 bales of 1878,
for an English order. The price
paid was 81 cents. and the hops were
shipped direct to England.
T. c. Wilson of the Snoqualmie
hop ranch says that he was offered
10s cents per pound for large lot
of hops. A buyer was on our streets
w euuSoucy, WIZ OHdedfOleu " puy
10000 pounds of hops of Joseph
Geiger, for which he offered 16
cents per pound. But the trade fell
through on account of some techni-
cal points regarding the draft.
John Fountain, large hop raiser
on White river, has been up to Hoods
Canal and says the Indians are all
coming, only they intend coming
later this season so as not to spend
all their money before hop picking
commences. This will be good news
to everybody. Last year the Ind
ians came week or SO before the
time and got we'll busted" before
work commenced. and they are prof
iting by the experiencH.-1NcOma

after trial of over forty years it ap-

The steamer Portland crossed out

SEAL FEsIIEHlEs.
The Srassn Nearly Ended and No
Seizures Yet Made.

" ashinmtnn. Aug. 3l-Ehe sealing sea-
son in thu BehrIng sea, which lasts from
the middle of June to the end of Aug
ust, Is now nearly over, but no seizures
of vessels violating the laws OF Congress
by capturing seals in the neighborhood
of Pribylotf islands have thus far been
reported to the Revenue Marine Depart
ment of tue Treasury. The revenue cut
ter Bear has made a cruise through the
scaling grounds without encouutering
any illicit sealers. The revenue cutter
Rush has now relieved her, but has thus
tar reported no infractioD5 of the law.
This gives credibility TO an official state
men. that an international agreement
has been entered into by Russia, Ger
many and Great Britain TO aid in the
protection of fur-bearing animals. Rus
sia, which derives considerable revenue
from the Seal Islands, opposite Alaska,
which it has leased to Alaska Fur Com
pany, who have the monopoly of the
Alaskan seal business, is of course in-
terestef in maintaining the value of
those fisheries. Germany appears to
have joined Russia as matter OF seuti-
ment. but not without an eye to future
advantages, and Great Britain possibly
reserves the Behring Sea question, and
the claims put forth by United States
revenue cutters to jurisdiction ever an
open sea, as point to be used IN case
the negotiations in regard to the North
American fisheries utterly fall through.
It is known that early in the season GER
thin persons in San Francisco asked of
the Treasury authorities of the United
States what thev might expect il they
fitted out vessels to capture seals IN
Behring Sea more than three miles from
shore, and we're advised that under ex-
listing conditions this would be regarded
as violation of the United States stat
utes. and they could not expect the pro-
lection of the Government under such
circumstances. There Is internal evil
dence that similar replies have been ad-
dressed by the British Colonial suthoti
ties to inquiries from British Columbia.
Hence the absence Of unauthorized
cruisers, and much good fortune to the
already highly-favored Alaska Sc /
Company. The present situation is an
interesting one, but is not likely to be
maintained longer than the diverse mo-
tives controlling the interested parties
continue 20 Ectuate them.

A Plea for the Snake.

The common prejudice against snakes
finds no supporter in Dr. Abbott He
has proved that many varieties are the
farmers and gardeners best friends, and
has harmlessly tested on himself the Bit
ing powers of several kinds usually sup
posed to be poisonous. The common
water snake is. one of these; our author
states that they are vicious but not ven
omous; they do not hesitate 10 bite II ir-
ritated, but the result is like the prick of
q pin" This snake he has found, from
frequent experiments, does not require
constant access to the atmosphere, but
can live for days in well aerated water.
Another much hbeled snake is the hog
nose often called ''datnead' or adder. u
DR.. Abbott disbelieves in the power of
snakes to charm birds, and also in the
hoop" variety, about whose mode OF
progress such wonderful stories occasion
ally appear. Regarding the size which
snakes are reported to reach, he quotes
the saying of an old village worthy:
when snakes come toward folks, every
foot looks yard long. THE Epoch.

tons to breathe deeply two or three times.
The apparatus for giving ether consists OF
a box, in which the compound is placed,
and an oval india rubber mask, very plia-
BILE and flexible, projecting from it, with
a tap which allows communication be-
tween the two parts to be cut off or estab-

Our Hotel Haunting Aristocracy.

Every season the noole army of would
be aristocrats is swelled. We now have
distinct untitled, sham aristocracy which
is infinitely entertaining. Go to any OF
the summer hotels throughout the land,
and you viii find large percentage OF
well bred, well dressed, handsome Jews,
who interfere with no one, and never
mingle outside their own race; larger
percentage of wealthy gentileS, who wear
gorgeous dresses, have gorgeous turn outs,
gorgeous manners, and a gorgeous diSre-
gard for grammar; a few quiet, well
bred reserved families, who lead retired
lives and bother no one; and a small col
ony of soi-dist" Mt great ones, toward
whom the eyes of every one are constantly
turning These people, on their arrival,
send forth the fiat that "they don't care
to mix outside their own circle, " and rude
remarks of theirs, to the effect that
there is no one in the house with whom
they care to associate" are constantly in
circulation among the guests, and leave
some sore, some angry, some Jealous, and
a few philosophers amused. 1t Is the Sc
cret desire of half the people in the hotel
TO be admitted into this exclusive para
disc; they would do anything to be able
TO sit in the heart of that little clique, as
it forms an aristocratic hollow square on
the shady side of the piazza. But rarely
are their pains rewarded. The hollow
square shows a chilling disregard of their
existence which is more crushing than
deliberate insult AT the same time,
however, the young female hollow squarer
shows no disregard for the existence OF
such young male pariahs as may be dang
ling about She absorbs them with well
bred tranquility, and hangs their scalps
round her belt, smiling dreamily.
But these hotel haunting aristocrats are
not genuine They are only good coun-
terfeits Were they real they would have
had cottages long ago. But they are
smart, and they think that it's much bet
ter to reign in hell than serve in heaven
n thousand times better to rule in a hotel
than be ignored in cottage. They are,
moreover, clever managers, and have
given the subject study. Every attribute
is as it should be. They dress well and
talk well. Their manners are good, save
in the case of the lofty hauteur to which
they treat their so called social interiors,
and their social interiors are more i'm
pressed by this than they would be by the
refined suavity of natures graUdes DANES.
Taking them all in all, they are remarka-
bly, good shams, and as such deserve much
praise The possessor of brains is a rarity
not to be sneered at, even though he use
his brains TO make himself fool.-New

He Knows This Trick Now.

'FHave any of you found bank note?"
inquired a man in wild eyed excitement
as he hurriedly approached a set of
loungers at the Union depot yesterday
morning.
"Haye you lost one?" asked an elderly
stranger of bland and sedate appearance.
Eyes, yes; have you found it?'
''Wait moment. What was its de-
nomination.
1T was a $50 bill-national bank
note.n
The stranger leisurely drew roll *
bills from his pocket, looked them over,
took one out and passed it over TO the ex-
cited individual, remarking with much
urbanity as he did so:
at is well for you, my friend, that it
was found by an honest man. | picked
1t up a few minutes ago, and take pleasure
In giving back to you what l am satisfied
Is your property"
THANK you, sir; thank you. It's my
turn now to do the fair thing. Here's a
$40 bill You shan't refuse it. Take it,
sir; take it. or l shall feel hurt. "
The stranger, thus urged, took the
money, and the grateful individual walked
off with his $50. He was considerably
surprised TO learn, a few hours later, that
the bill was not the one he had lost at
all, but counterfeit. He is now looking
for the bland and elderly stranger, but
there are reasons for doubling his success
in finding him.-Chicago Tribune.
