one of the Heroes of Everyday Life

There is man in Alchison who is a
hero though If YOU should call him
one he would scarcely know what the
word meant His wife recently died
and left him with eight children. He
labors hard by day and manages his
housework after night. After doing
hard days work he will begin the fam
lily washing, to be finished aud hung
on the line next morning, the ironing
to be done the second night. He could
not afford sewing woman, SO he has
by constantly irving learned to run a
machine, aud cut and tit. The oldest
girl is growing up and will be a great
help to him in "A few years. Ills little
children are sent To school every day,
and they appear rs neatly and comfort
ably dressed rs any in the school. He
did not scatter his family among his
relatives nor send them to AN orphan
asylum. He kept them together, and
their home is almost rs comfortable as
it was when the mother was alive. He
is hero, and the greatest kind of
hero, from the fact that he does not
realize that he is a hero at ail.-Atcb-

Change of Surroundings for Drunkard.

Or. Cyrus Edison in North American Review
OF great Importance in the treatment of
hahitual drunkenness is change of en-
yironment. The patient should be cut off
from temptation. The impossibility of
etecting permanent removal of tempta-
ton Is a powerful factor in rendering a
cure hopeless. The periodic cravings of
the drunkard 1t is impossible for person
who has not suffered from them 10 i'm
aglne. We can only estimate their strength
by the amount of hardship that a drunk
ard will undergo 10 satisfy them. Pledges
are worthless. 1t is said that in England
OF $4,000 persons who took the pledge
$4,000 were known TO have violated il.
Temporary removal from temptation is
easily accomplished by means OF the many
pubhc and private inebriate asvlums. II
IS admitted that these institutions in the
United States are uneQualed. Their good
work and value cannot be questioned

Tides in a Fresh Water Well.

Aberdeen Herald: There are some queer
wells on Gray harbor, near Ocosta. The queer
ness is in the fact that the water in the wells
rises and falls with the tide. in order to strike
water IL is necessary to bore about l25 feet. The
water is pure, fresh and soft 1t rises in the
pipe at high tide, about three feet above the
level of the ground; at low tide il falls to about
two leet below the surface of the ground. In
the harbor the rise and fall of the tide is ten
feet. The most plausible explanation is that
advanced by Captain De Courcey. He says the
water probably lies under a stratum of earth
that, when the earth above is covered by the
tide, the tides enormous weight is communi-
Gated to this stratum through the softer strata
above, thus pressing down upon the water at
high tide and forcing it up in the pipes, and
causing it to fall when the tide recedes.

LONG CONFLICT OVER.
Cedar Mountain Miners at
Work Under Contract.
RIGHT TO HIRE AND DISCHARGE.
Tonnage Basis of Wages Adopted -
Franklin Strikers Returning to
Work-Men for Roslyn.

The miners strike at Cedar Mountain is prac-
tieally at an end. About thirty five OF the men
have signed the contract submitted by the
company and resumed work. The contract es-
tablishes a rate of payment by the ton for min
WORK, in place OF the system of payment by the
day which has hitherto prevailed. The basis OF
wages Is about the same as that at the oregon
improvement Company's mines, though the
rates are varied to fit the different character OF
the mine The comnany is secured The right 10
hire and discharge whom it sees fit.
Many of the miners employed at the mine
when the strike began have left for other places
and few remain in the camp who have not yet
signed the contract.
The Cedar Mountain mine has been idle since
the middle OF May, when the importation OF
negroes to Newcastle caused general strike
along the narrow gauge road The Cedar Mount
ain men did not profess to have any quarrel
with their employers, but struck out OF sympa-
thy for their brethren at Franklin. The result
has been that they have been forced TO come
down to the same terms as the men at Newcastle
and Franklin.
At Franklin number of white miners have
returned to work at the eompany's terms, side
by side with the negroes whom they opposed so
long and SO bitterly. Many Others have moved
away, while some still hold out on the old
ground
4 call for 900 men has been issued from Ros-
Ign to work in the new mines recently devel-
oped in that field, and IL is expected that many
idle miners who have been thrown out OF work
in this section will move over there.

Pushing the Siberian Railroad.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Captain Doubassoff, of the Russian navy,
who has arrived here after accompanying
the cZarowltz on his extended trip, brings
some interesting information in regard to
the construction of the great trans-Siber-
ian railroad From Vladivostock to
Chabarovskie, at the confluence of the
AMOR and Onsouri rivers, a distance of
600 miles," said he to n Chronicle reporter.
at the New California yesterday, there
are now about 1,S0O Chinese coolies at
work, besides large lot of Others in vari-
Gus capacities. This branch must be com
pleted and in perfect running order in
four years. Meantime the great main line
OF about 5000 miles, continuing from the
Amoor and OnSouri rivers to Tioumer
where 1t is TO connect with the road from
st. Petersburg. Is being pushed. Accord
ing to the contract it must be completed
by at most ten years. The way it looks il
will be finished far earlier. The 600 miles
first alluded to is difficult of con
struction, the country being rough
and broken in parts. The 5000
miles, however, is very easy, considering
the great distance. There are no great
mountains. The valleys are very fertile.
and some of them are quite heavily popu-
lated with very enterprising people
Already they raise a good deal of wheat
and corn, but they have never exported
any, having no means as yet. They will
do so, however when the great railroad is
completed, and Vladivostock will become
very important commercial city, I'm
doubtedly there will be before long regular
lines of steamers from it to San Francisco.
and possibly to ports north of here Vlad-
livestock has about 1900 people now. II
is now strategic point for US, and will be
till the road is finished, because of the I'M
easiness and internal connections in the
province of Maniuria in the north OF
China. We are not very sure of our posi-
ton at Vladivostock on that account"
