sion on that evening reads. Resolved,
that knowledge has more influence
than wealth.
We lay no claim to pranhetic gift,
but we venture to suggest that the
year 1891 will mark an epoch in the
history of mining in Oregon as marked
as was that of 1919 in California. The
Mckenzie, Blue River, Calapooia and
Santiam mining districts will be
thronged, not alone with prospectors,
but with practical miners backed by
wealth and all the appliances known
to modern invention, and scores of
faithful, persevering prospectors who
have long borne the taunts of those
whose only argument Is ridicule, will
retire with q competency. Upon this
prediction we base our reputation as u
prophet.
We know of no better way for our
present city council to signaliZe their
administration than to construct an
outlet for the waters which every win

Give us both these elements in their
purity and we ask no more.

are blind to their interests if they do
not see that the miners get their de-
