Duties FAITHFULLY Discharged.

Brazil, Dec. 13.-[Special.I- AT the final
mass-meeting Of block-coal miners the report
of the committee appointed to audit the ae-
counts of the relief fund was accepted and APP
proved. The account was honestly kept and
the fund faithfully applied. Much credit is
due to the executive committee for the scrupu-
lousy exact discharge Of the responsibility
and duty assigned. The public regards it a
faithful stewardship on the part of a public
servant under heavy bond, who receives and
disburses $4,000 with no loss to the interes Is
involved. But here was a committee of men,
having nominally no property, under no sworn
Obligation nor official bonds, who received pro-
miscuousy from far and near more than
S25,OOO, every cent of which, says the auditing
committee, has been honorably and legitimately
applied. The meeting adopted resolutions of
thanks 20 all papers which gave them moral
and substantial aid during the strike.

A Pertinent Question.-A former
Governor of large city in Japan, after
spending an evening at friends table
with several companions, was unable to
find his carriage, and determined to walk
home. Losing his way, however, in the
narrow, winding streets, he applied to
policeman to direct his erring footsteps.
TO his surprise the solemn function ary
could not solve his prrplexity. He was
not acquainted, he said, with the location
asked for, a happy expedient suggested
itself to the inquirer. "Be good enough
to direct me to the residence of the Gov
ernor of the city" said the Governor.

I'I.ORlDA'S BRIGHT PROS.
Poets.
Savannah New

The late epidemic in Florida does not
appear to have hurt that State. The in
dlcatlons are that she will have as many
visitors and immigrants during the COM
ing year as she had in any previous year.
Indeed, there are reasons for thinking
that the travel on all the roads leading to
Florida will be larger than ever before.
The Florida people are full of hope for
the future prosperity Of their State, and
are going on with their improvements as
energeticallv and enthusiastically as if
the yellow fever had never paid them a
visit. Capitalists are investing their
money freely in the State, showing that
their confidence in the States develop
ment aud material progress is not clouded
by doubt
And why should the late epidemic
check Florida's advancement 1t was
confined to a small area Only few of
her many towns were afflicted, and only
one of them severely. There may never
be another epidemic Of yellow fever within
her limits 1t is certain that greater pre-
cautions than ever will be taken to keep
the fever from getting a foothold within
her borders. The Legislature, which
meets in April, will provide for better
quarantine regulations, and every town
will look more closely after sanitary mat
tiers. Uhe health authorities will admin
lister with more care the trust confided to
them. The lesson taught by the expert
ence of the past summer will not soon lie
forgotten.
Those who said Florida had received
setback from which she would not re-
cover in years, are already beginning to
admit they were mistaken The rush of
immigrants and visitors to the State and
the business activity everywhere notice
able within the States limits, are a sur
prise to them. They expected Florida
would be Stunned, and that her business
would not show any signs Of revival for
year or more.
But why should people hesitate to 90
to Florida now? There is no danger to
health to be apprehended there 1t is as
safe to @ there as to any other State
The local physicians have said that it is,
and they would not make a declaration
OF that kind unless convinced Of its truth
hundreds OF refugees have returned home
and hundreds Of tourists and immigrants
have entered the State since the epidemic
IN the afflicted towns was declared ut an
end, and there has been no report that any
one of them has been attacked bv the
fever. What better evidence is needed
that the epidemic is wholly thing Of the
past?
The General Manager OF the Savannah
and Florida railway system has just made
an inspection tour through the State,
going as far south as Key West. His re-
port OF the prospects for busy and pros
porous season is a very gratifying one.
He did not find any signs of a feeling Of
depression or hear any gloomy forebod-
ings. What he saw and heard satisfied
him that the Florida boom was as prom
Using az ever, and that the people were
not in the least dispirited by their recent
misfortune. 1t may be accepted as set
tied that Florida is going right ahead,
and that the coming year will be one Of
the most prosperous in her history.

EDITOR TINES -MoUNTANEER:
THE melancholy days have come the
saddest" ever known to the farmer whose
crop has been burned up by the drouth.
Only light showers have yet fallen, but
they have put the soil in such condition
that those who could procure seed are
busily sowing it. The farmers meet occa-
sionally to devise ways and means to tide
themselves over this terrible year. Broth
er farmers, our paper teens with useful
suggestions by the editor for the anchor
alton of the condition of the people. We
have line upon line showing the unparalleled
importance Of opening up the Columbia.
The necessity for more railroads diverg-
ing from The Dalles has been noticed.
The great benefit to city and country that
would accrue from utilizing the immense
water power adjacent to the city, has been
pointed out; and in due time he will
doubtless again refer to the importance of
having the railroad lands revert to the
government.
1t would be well if farmers would dis
cuss measures calculated to advance their
interests. Would not silos pay we'll in
order that more stock could be ted. and
less hauling of produce be done? Since
sugar is heavily taxed and likely to be,
and since sorghum is certain crop on
our highlands, shonld 1t not receive great
attention. Especially since vast improve
ments have been made in the manufacture
Of this valuable product Our long sea-
sons are just the thing for working il up.
Here on Five Mile, on elevated lands,
vegetation has not yet been killed and
may not be for month. Here seems to
be the home OF the peach, prune and other
fruits. On section thirty peaches have
failed but once in many years. A profit
of $3.50 to $500 an acre on prunes is worth
looking after.
In this our day of adversely let us aid
each other by word and deed, and let us
make note of the merchants and profes-
sional men that deal kindly and consider
ately. On the other hand if any of our
brethern are maltreated let us make note
of that also. Beware of shysters, shy
locks, sharks and sharpers. Give the
firm of Catchem 81 Cheatem a wide berth.

Suicide Near PrrneviIie.


Last Monday morning Henry Stevens
came to town after the coroner. stating that
his brother, Emor, had shot and he supposed
had killed himself at the residence of his
Butte, about Is miles from Prineville. DR..
Belknap, coroner of Crook county, went to
the scene of the tragedy and found young
Stevens yet alive, though in an unconscious
condition. He learned the following partic.
ulars of the tragedy: Emor got up just be-
fore daylight and stated that he had not
slept any during the night, and that he be-
lieved he would shoot dog that had been
barking. At the same time he was noticed
writing on a slate. He stepped out of the
house and presently pistol shot was heard.
Other members OF the family who had got
up by this time went to the door and saw
him lying about ten feet from tho house.
He had placed the pistol to the right tenn
pie and fired, the ball passing through the
front part of the brain, lodging under the
skin on the left side of the head. Examining
the slate on which he had been writing just
before leaving the house, the following note
was found: 81 am of no use to anybody
here, and cm too wretched to live any
longer. so will end it with my own hands.
Goodbye. Don't fret about one who is not
worth it."
The unfortunate young man fingered un-
til Wednesday afternoon, when life de-
parted and the death which he had courted
at his own hands came. He was almost 2l
years of age, and was of rather more than
ordinary ability, was constant reader and
well informed on general topics, but for a
number of years had been of morose dis
position, aYoided society and seemed averse
to strangers. He never had any trouble,
a mystery.

Frxh ting Fire Ia the Mountains.

While the great and destructive fires were
raging and roaring in the mountain, Harry
Whittier and W. N. Jorgensen at Ike
Klopp's miners cabin in Grant county, Or.
were right in the midst Of it. They say it
was grand, yet awful sight, to see the
angry flames leap from tree to tree, run up
like lightning, devonring every branch and
making fearful noise. Harry gazed at
the strange panorama for some time. FL
nally, remembering his partners cabin
little farther down, he said to his compan-
ion: "Jorgensen, let's. 60 down and save
Ike's blacksmith's and mining tools, while
it is yet time" They went, and fonnd the
cabin surrounded by fire and destruction.
After putting all the tools in cart and
running it into tunnel, they returned to
save the cabin, and while Harry stood
straddle oyer little brook, getting water
as best he could, limb of a tie came
down, hit him on the head, cracking the
skull, and the blood rushing from the
wound, run over his face and blinded him.
He called for his partner, who was cut off
by fire, and bare-footed; yet he rushed
smoke, burning his feet dreadfully. Harry
was helplses, although still conscious, and
it kept Ike busy fighting fire and save both
from horrible death. They finally reach
ed the other cabin in safety, but the next
morning Mr.. Jorgensen's eyes were swollen
shut, and his feet full of blisters. Mr..
Whittier was also rore sight to behold, and
there they were. alone in the world, hid
away in the mountains, with no one to help
them or cook for them bite to eat; yet
they managed to reach the valley and both
are all right again by this time, but their
adventure in the mountains on that awful
day, will remain a green leaf in memory's
varigated wreath, as long as they live.
