Big Whining NeMs.

A few weeks ago Charles Barn
well, working on the Oregon Pacific
railroad made one of the most inn
portant discoveries of silver-leud
mine yet made in the Santiam dis,
trict. The vein is twenty feet wide
on the surface, carries rich sulphur
cts and carbonates and is cut right
through by the railroad.
The mine is on the north fork of
the Santiam only fifteen miles above
the Rock Creek postoflice and ac-
cessable by railroad, MS the track is
within seven miles of the mine and
graded number of miles beyond.
Prof. Harnett, the mining expert,
says he will risk his reputation, that
In less than two years it will he the
Cmur d. Alene of Oregon.
He says, positively, C@urd' Alene
never showed such perfect surface
ore as is found in the Wallowa and
Santiam districts. AS all the silver
lead mines are known to improve,
in depth, the gentleman's predic-
tions seem likely to be fulfilled once
more.-Oregonian.

Boom Boomerang, Bust !

"The advance-guard of the unpre-
cedented immigration to come to
Tacoma this year left st. Paul on the
great Northern Pacific Sunday
morning. A special train, consist
ing of nine excursion coaches, con-
tanning six hundred persons, is not a
bad beginning, especially when it is
remembered that every one Of those
six hundred come here to make
Pierce county his or her home. The
arrival of such a large party was
the occasion of great rejoicing in
Los Angeles and San Diego,
although the vast majority of those
were only excursionists. Now,
there is this difference: this entire
six hundred come with the settled
purpose of making their homes
among u.s."
So says the Tacoma News. We
would ask as did Los Angeles edi-
tor during the great boom there
"What are all these people to do in
town ?" Somebody must produce
something for the rest to trade and
live upon. They are already cut
ting down trees and clearing Off
land at Tacoma whereon to build
more houses and dividing what
might become good farming land
into blocks, streets and alleys. AS
at Los Angeles SO is 1t at Tacoma {;
there is just the same big boom to
end in bigger bust. For the same
paper calls for the builing of twenty
five hundred more houses in Tacoma
and says "quit raising the price of
of lots and go to raising houses"
Here are thousands of acres of rich |
lands, ready for the plow, and |
we could stand considerable of a
boom.

Frederick Lockley, a former resi-
dent Of Salem, will engage in the ex-
tensive raising of chickens for mark
ct. He will establish a ranch in the
Polk county hills and is sure to sue
ceed. In no country do chickens do
better than here and nowhere do
eggs or table fowls command better
prices. This is an industry that has
been too long neglected, but now it
promises to be taken hold of by sew
eral parties.
