SOME ITEMS ABOUT ALASKA.

Geo. Chopat, of Juneau, Alaska,
has salmon fishery for sale at Ju-
neau, Alaska; he leaves for there this
morning. He also has q newspaper
for sale, but doesn't advertise that;
the latter gives some clever fellow a
good chance to go north and grow up
with the country. Mr.. Chopat says
Alaska is a marvel and will be one OF
the richest pieces of territory in the
world when developed.
The mine on Douglas Island that
Capt. Jim Carroll and purser Down
ing recently sold for 100000 to an
English syndicate, has been diamond
drilled throughout. 1t is calculated
by its present owners that there IS
gold enough shown by the diamond
drill to keep 1000 men busy every
day for one hundred years, taking
out the quartz that the gold is mixed
in with.
The newspaper man who has the
newspaper up there that is for
sale, is going out of the business of
selling the news, and has formed q
partnership with senator Vest, of
Missouri, and Gov. Hauser, OF Mon
tana, and has another big gold mine
that may pan out three or four mill
ion dollars.
Mr.. Wetherbee, well known in
Astoria, has also a gold mine close by
there, and is going to be an Alaska
millionaire.
When a man up there gets tired of
making money catching and canning
salmon, he puts couple of hundred
thousand dollars into a gold mine
and then begins to make money in
dead earnest, barreling the nuggets.
II he doesn't like mining or fishing
he can make money at furnishing
timber, or can go out and catch seals,
which at $40 seal counts up pretty
fast.
Sometime when that country gets q
territorial government, it will be
good place to live. It's apparently a
good place to make money in now, if
a man isn't particular, and is satisfied
with a hundred thousand dollars the
first year.

Taking Up Southern Oregon Timber.

A party consisting of c. 81. Cooper,
P. w. Weeks, NJ. Schlussel, F. I.
Dunbar, VIM. Book, Fred Ferchen,
Jos. Pinschower, L. Sullivan, Jas.
McCarron, Mike Meyers, Joe Baker
and V. Boiling returned yesterday
morning from an excursion to Ash
land. When they got to Ashland
they took the stage and rode 25 miles
each one except V. Boelling filed on
160 acres of timber land, which there
grows sugar pine, yellow pine and
cedar. The timber land in that Sec
ton is in as much demand there as
here. Sugar pine lumber is selling in
Ashland at $50 NJ feet, and in San
Francisco at S65 and $40.
J. E. Mclaughlin, of Manistee,
Mich, who figured 80 extensively
here about a year ago is putting up q
mill there that will have a capacity
of 200 NJ feet day.
Where the party fled their timber
claims is within five miles of the
Klamath river. Uncle Sans timber
is fast passing into the hands of
private purchasers.

Col. Ingersoll's Story.

"I'll tell you a story, boys" said
Col. IngersolI, while waiting for a
New York jury to come in last Fri
day afternoon.
Col. Fellows, Lawyer Bird, Mr..
Kerr and the reporters leaned for
ward expectantly.
"During the gold days in Califor-
nia," continued the Colonel, sit was
the law that the holder of a claim
should be liable to lose it if he let it
remain idle for ten days in success
sion. Well, there was one fellow who
had been working faithfully, when he
fell sick and had to take to his tent.
Another fellow came along and
jumped his claim. The first man
pleaded and argued, but the other
was not to be moved. So when the
first man recovered he sued the inter-
loper.
"The case came up before the JUS
tice. He was very sorry, he told the
plaintiff, but the law was absolute on
the question, and the defendant could
not be ousted. No sooner had he fin
ished than the plaintiff jumped up
and hit the defendant a stinging blow
behind the ear. The defendant fell
over. and the plaintiff jumped on him
and began to pummel him soundly.
The constable ran up and was trying
to part the fighters when the judge
arose, and, pounding on the desk,
yelled to the constable:
g. - you, sir, leave them
alonel The law is the law, but if the
gentlemen want to compromise they
mustn't be interfered with"
The Coloneps way of telling it was
as good as the story.

The Wrong Foot.

"Dat' eands dat" said q colored
man who was brought into the cen
tral station the other day as a sus-
picious character.
"What?" asked the sergeant.
"Dis yere," was the reply, as he
produced rabbits foot and tossed it
contemptuously on the desk. dat

How Men Die

If we know all the methods of ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body sufices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
carful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
actor Of any home"

What They Call "GentIemen's Gowns"

Every woman who has been on the
stage, who has lectured, who has
come before the public gaze in any
capacity, has in her wardrobe certain
pieces of costume to which she gives
the title of "gentlemen's gowns"
These mysterious articles Of apparel
are not intended, as the name might
suggest, for wear by the lords Of
creation, but the nickname has at
tached itself to such toilets as have
invariably called forth bursts of mas
culine applause. Everybody knows
that the tastes of men and women
often differ in matters of feminine
costuming, but everybody does not
know that the fair creature in
the glare Of the footlights can
calculate to q nicely which sex
in her audience she is impress
ing. Mabel Jenness, the pretty sister
of the pretty dress-reformer, is never
at loss If you ask her which is her
gentleman's gown. She points you
without hesitation to a white and ap-
pie green satin, brocaded with narcis-
sus flowers, made up in the empress
style. Cobwebby crepe lisse, mar
velously embroidered, makes the
form of it draped over green crepe de
chine. Clusters of pond lilies in
shades OF cream and yellow clasp it
on the shoulders, at the waist instead
Of girdle, and hang in long gar
lands intermingled with trailing
grasses catching up the skirt drap-
cries. When the men see this they
pound on the floor with their sticks
and umbrellas, and then L say, yes, I
always call this my gentlemen's
gown"

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
tric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find re-
90 C, and 81 per bottle at J, w. Conn's
Drug store.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at j. w
Conn's Drug Store as his giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New Discovery fol-
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured
You can test it before buying by getting

Talk about steamers whistling:
did you hear the calliope concert
yesterday morning? the baritone of
the States whistle as she came in,
the basso profundo OF the Marlzanit0
going out: the mezzo solfeggio Of the
Reed and the LuTline as they started
on their regular packet trip to Port
land, the hoarse note of the Idaho as
she arrived on her way to Alaska: the
quick signals of the two towboats
starting with ships up stream, and the
shrill screams of the musquito feet
swinging out for local points, all COM
mingled and confused, sobbing and
sounding together and setting the
startled echoes flying far out to sea.

TOMATO CROP INJURED.-Tbe recent
great storms, the almost continuous rains Of
the last two weeks and the sudden advent
of cold weather havs destroyed the greater
part of the tomato crop. Csnneries which
should now be in operation at their full ca.
pacity are nearly at stand still, agents
have bees instructed to refuse orders, and
1t is probable that there will be large al
vance in the price OF canned tomatoes ana
catchup. The full extent of the damage to
the crop has not yet been ascertained, and
dealers and campers are waiting anxiouslg
for developments before making any con
tracts to can or sell tomato products. The
loss falls heaviest upon the New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland farmers who are
given fixed prices for their tomatoes, and
the destruction of one half of their crop
means the loss of just so much cash to them.
