gems of art on exhibition. Aside from
copies of the old masters there are brusf
paintings of local artists which are wei
worthy of mention. The exhibits of the
Misses Hollister, Mrs. Pond, Mrs. Blakely,
Mrs. Lochhead, Miss Lang, Miss Nettie
Williams, Harry Wentz and others are
worthy of especial mention. Mrs Gene
We've Mays has some excellent photographs
op exhibition, which for finish and concep-
ton of position bespeak culture and true
artistic taste. The art gallery should he
visited by all our citizens, as, aside from
the work Of our own artists there are some
of the choicest copies of the old masters,
and some very excellent steel engravings
and prints of celebrated etchings. One. the
Mater Dolorosa, prlp. from the private
collection of Rev.. MIR. Sutclifle, Is well
worth considerable study. We belleve the
original is by Murriilo, the great Spanish
artist, and the expression he gives the face,
the classic outlines of features, and the
light and shade, are something wonderful.
A common print o. the Defense OF Rokes
Lodge in Zululand, is grand, insplritlng and
will thrill any one who studies it for the
shortest space. This is one of the scenes IN
which the Anglo-Saxons have immortallzed
themselves by their indomitabie courage,
and one cannot look at the picture without
feeling in his lnmost heart reflection OF
that unexampled bravery which animated
his ancestors at Agincourt, BadaJoes, /
Waterloo, Cawnpore and Zululand. The
art gallery is worth the visit OF a"y one,
md very pleasurable hour can be spent
here.

EDITOR TnrKs-MouNrAINHER:
Saturday nightaNoy. 23i inst, our party
consisting of Audrey Eurgnhard, c. Mes
pile, ]. Rath, and friends passed through
The Dalles OF: our return from an extensive
hunt up on the John Day river, some 40
miles from here, with a wagonload full of
geese, ducks and jackrabbits, and would
liked to have called at the TINES Noun
TAINEER Office to show our fine lot of game,
but came in too late for that purpose. The
game was mostly all killed on the stock
ranches of Messrs. Jones and Akers near
Emigrant Springs, where these gentlemen
are extensively engaged in breeding and i'm
porting of thoroughbred horses and cattle.
During our weeks stay with these gentle
men we had an excellent time and were en-
tertained to our hearts content. While
hunting in deep canyons we were shown
huge petrifed oak log, that must haye at
tanned Its enormous size during ages un-
known to natural history; also fine sreci.
mems of petrifed cotton and other wood.
The geese were in the wheat fields IN count
fields often resembled that of an approach
log cyclone. No estimation as to their
numbers could possibly be made, and we
often saw large fields literally covered with
them, and were told that there was much
damage done to fall sown wheat by these
feathered robbers.
The fall sown wheat looks fine and prom |
ises fair, to make up for the loss farmers |
Suffered this year. The soil in that portion |
Of the country seems to be very rich, and
we are of the opinion that if wheat growers
and farmers in general would resort little
more to deep plowing, there would never
need to be any fear of calamity, such as
was experienced this year by the drought.
The young bunch grass looks fine and cattle
are rolling fat.
Upon special invitation the party called
On Mr.. Draper, also an extensive stockman
and wheat grower, near Emigrant. The
party was there also pleasantly entertained,
md Mr.. Draper has quite museum of cur
osities. among which we saw fine specimens
If granite stone, nuggets, and ali kinds of
oetrifed wood and last but not least" our
lost produced petrifed human finger just

The doll booth, at the fair last night, was

Eiitor TINES -MoUNTAINEEE:
Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and every
body seemed to enjoy themselves accordlnl
to the dictates of their own consciences
which is glorious God-given privilege tina
we may worship God and no man dare mo
| lest or make us afraid. Work was sus
pended OH the locks and the government
flag floated on the breezcs.
There are butstew men working On the
locks, and they seem to be busily engaged
heaping rocks on the bulkhead at the lower
end of the canal, so that it will withstand
next June's freshet. Also they have huge
rock on the incline that is used for hand
ling material with the endless chain. l
think the plant Is pretty well secured to
withstand the June high water. 1 learned
to-day that there is plenty of rock within
three miles of here that is superior to the
Spokane granite. There Is enough of it
within four miles of the locks to wall the
Columbia river to the Lower Cascades, six
miles distant. The rock is described as of
a lava formation, of the tertiary epoch, and
is pretty generally distributed throughout
this country. 1t is indisputable evidence
that at one time vast volcanoes roared their
dire vengeance in this region and poured
their molten wrath upon the recipient SOIL
This rock Is easily dressed, and workmen
may have to handle many detached frag-
ments; but this would be convenient for
filling in and bracing up the walls. The
old Ruckle's landing at the upper end of
the canal. which was used successfully for
years. may be improved by the use Of this
rock, which is easy to handle. When the
Ball and Pratt, commenced ex-
awaiting the canal, they piled huge lot of |
ooulders and rocks on the bedrock at the |
over end of the locks, which laid there and |
the swift water for years. They |
lnswer for good salmon lead to-day, and |
he idea has suggested itself to me that the |
anne kind of material might be used to i'm
,rove the landing or entrance at the upper
nd of the canal.

Tears nearly blind me so that I can hardly

leaves tonight, and poor old Mr.. Hersey
will be left all alone. Poor old man, how
bad he must feel, as he has no sympathy
here and all are wishing he will soon go,
sey. But others disagree with me. You
should see how those Norwegians jump to
get chance to carry Reeds trunks; but
they would not condescend to help carry a
coffin of poor Swedish girl who died
few days ago, and some of our generous.
hearted Irish citizens volunteered and car.
ried the coffin home, while the Norwegians
packed Reeds trunks to his house and
kissed the hem of his garments.

that Peal, Reed and Hersey may,come back,

Obituary..

Mrs, Annie Fitz Gerald-nee Powers
died IN this city last Saturday, aged p
years and six months. Mrs. FItzGerald
was born in county Wexford, Ireland, and
came to this country in 1883. About four
wears ago she was married to Mr.. Maurice
FitzGerald, and is the mother of one child.
This young woman was most exemplary IN
all the walks of life. Possessed of all the
eminent virtues of Christian life, there was
a sunshine in her conduct which shed Its
radiance over all with whom she associated.
She was a Christian lady in the
fullest sense of the term, and loved all
those with whom she associated. Her only
object in living was in making the world
better, and in after years when her remains
will have mingled with the dust of the
earth, her loving acts will be remembered
by her associates and acquaintances. As a
wife she was most excellent, as a mother
very affectionate, as a relative loving and
considerate, and as companion most con-
siderate and conscientious. We cannot un-
derstand why such person should be re-
mo ,ed, but the plans of God are beyond
and we can only bow with |
subn'i"eion to Him who doeth all things |

A gay young Lothario of this city, OF
nocturnal tenden cies, and whom his friends
irgeniously call "the latest thing out, ," has
hit upon a new scheme to account for his
haggard appearance at breakfast Having
used all the excuses known, he has lately
been troubled with insomania; but in an in.
cautiously prolonged inquiry about all
known remedies for his maladay, he was
asked by demure old lady if he had ever
tried going to bed, which caused an abrupt
change of topic in the conversation.
Yesterday an employee Of the company
while walking down the coal track was
struck by passing locomotiye and knocked
down. He fell towards the inside of the
track, and the pilot pushed him a distance
of twenty feet without any injuries except a
few bruises. After he was released he
walked up town and was taken to his home.
This accident will not happen so fortunate
ly once in thousand times, and men who
expected every moment to see him rolled
under the ponderous locomotive and mang-
led in fearful manner, watched the acci-
dent with most anxious faces.

DISPUTED LAND.
Contest Over a Tract Near Ophir, Placer
County,

Contest Over Tract Near Ophir, Placer
County.
An important land contest has been in
progress the last two days before the Fed
eral Land Office in this city. Mary Dornin
is the plaintiff and Charles F. Vaughn the
defendant. The case involves a tract of
forty acres in the vicinity of the town of
Ophir, Placer county. The question at
issue is as to the right of the plaintiff to
have restored her homestead entry for the
tract in controversy, which was cancelled
in 1888 by the Commissioner of the General
Land Office for the reason that the same
had been enormously allowed by the
Register of the Sacramento Land Office by
reason of the land having been adjudged
to be mineral by the Interior Department.
When Vaughn, the respondent, presented
his redemption application for the same
land, together with affidavits alleging the
non-mineral character of the same, and q
hearing ordered by the Commissioner of
the General Land Office had taken place
on October IL, 1888, the result was that the
Commissioner decided the land to be agri-
cultural in character. But Mary Dornin
having interposed a motion to have her
homestead right reinstated, and thus gain
preference right over Vaughn, the Com
missioner, on July a. 1889, ordered hear
ing TO determine the respective rights of
the plaintiff and defendant to the land.
This hearing is now in progress. James
E. Pruitt, of Auburn, appears for the plain
tiff, Mary Dornin, and J. NJ. Fulweiler of
Auburn, and G. F. Gardner, of this city, for
Vaughn. The land in dispute is worth 800
an acre
