yesterday little fire started in small
shops. A lady ON second street was the
first to observe it when she hurriedly

control. Had the fire got headway un-

what damage might have been done.

Rev. VIM. MacEwan, who was former
ly the rector of st. Paul's church the
The Dalles, but now located in Portland,
came near being the unwilling means OF

of $40 by shrewd Portland thief 1t

Thomas L. Cole purporting to have come
from Rev. William MacEwan, in which
the writer requested a loan of $40. Not
having the money about him at the time
Mr.. Cole instructed the boy to inform
the sender that the money would be sent
later. Upon visiting Mr.. MaeEwan it
was discovered that the note was a. for
gerry, evidently written by some rascal
who was in need of money and thought
it possible to hoodwink the clergyman.
The moral evidently is that the only way
to keep from being robbed is to be with
out money.

A New railroad.

A gentleman well posted in the inner
workings of the transcontinental' rail-
road companies said yesterday to an
Oregonidn reporter:
Another railroad project that is of
direct interest to the Oregon people will
no doubt soon be started by the Lehigh
Valley Coal company, of Pennsylvania.
The company has possession of vast coal
properties in Gillian county, in the
vicinity of the town of Fossil. For the
development of these beds they propose
very soon building road into that
country from some available point. Just
where it will be has not yet been decided
but the line will doubtless run either
from Heppner or The Dalles, more
likely from the latter point, as the route
is more feasible, owing to the presence
OF water along. the line. At any rate,
whichever route is taken, the state at
large will be benefited by this addi-
tional development of one of her great
natural industries.

From the results of recent expert
ments it seems probable that in the not
distant future the electric light may be-
come an important adjunct in large fore
ing houses where early plants and veget-
ables, lettuce, ETC., are raised for the
market. In large establishment of
this kind in New York the house was
sides of which the same plants we're
growing. On one side an electric light
was kept burning for five or six weeks,
with the result that there was a very
striking difference in the growth OF
many kinds of plants. On the lighted
side the lettuce was ready for market,
while on the other side the plants were
not more than half as large The effect
upon flowers, petunias, verbenas, ETC.,
was also very marked, but while they
develop much more rapidly under the
electric light, they last only about hall
as long, and begin to bleach and fade
very soon after opening. Oregonian.

How Gold is Shipped.

AS few people realize the vast bulk Of
gold coin that is shipped annually from
one country to another, and are unac-
quainted with the manner of shipments,
the following from the American Bank
er, will be interesting:
The Bank of America is the largest
single shipper of gold from Nex York,
and indeed from the United States.
Shipments are made in stout kegs, very
much like the ordinary beer keg. Every
one contains $50 600 in coin or in bar
gold. The latter is the favorite of these
shipments, since the government has
permitted the sub-treasnry to exchange
coin for bar gold as coin, in single
million dollar shipment, is liable to loss
by abrasion of from eight to twenty
ounces, or from $l2S to $500; while the
bars only lose about hree-fourths of
that value. Where coin is sent, double
eagles are preferred. They are put
in stout canvas bags, each con-
tanning l25 double eagles, or $4,000; and
ten bags fill each keg. About the only
precaurion taken against tampering
with kegs is treatment of kegs ends
technically known as .'red taping."
-Four holes are bored at equal intervals
in the projecting rim of the slaves ahoye
the head. Red tape is run through
these, crossing on the kegs head, the
ends meeting at the center, where they
are sealed 10 the head by the hardest
wax and stamped with the consignor's
name. The average insurance is about
81, 800 per 81 100000. There is an ex-
pense of about 50 per keg for packing
and carriage aboard ship, or 5000 for the
same sum and the inevitable loss by
abrasion, whatever it may prove to be.
The great Wall street firms ship from
S25, 900, 900 to S4O.000,OO0 annually.
Some of these have for years insured
themselves, qnd assert that the saving
has been sufficient to replace loss of
81, 600. 600. These.are large figures. but
this has become cou ltry of large fig
ures and affairs.
The loss, by abrasion, on every ST.
900, 600 in gold coin shipped across the
Atlantic is said to be between one and
two thousand dollars.

A type setting machine tournament
will be held in Chicago in October. The
Americau Newspaper Publishers Asso.
citation has determined to fix the rela-
tive merits of the various machines and
all have been invited to enter into the
proposed test. The tournament will last
a week, and its results will no doubt be
of the greatest importance to the pub
fishing business. The type setting ~ a.
chine has come to stay. 1t is not yet
perfect, but it can already do the work
of several men in a satisfactory manner.
The effect of the Introduction of ma
chimes will be to multiply newspapers
and TO improve those already in exist
ence. AT first glance it might appear
that printers would be thrown out OF
work by the general introduction of ma
chimes, but the probability is that the
great expansion ofthe publishing busi-
ness will make room for all. The pub
lie will be benefited by securing better
papers, and people generally will,there-
fore, be interested with the publishers
in the results of this unique tourna-
ment-Fx

1t is said that the house in which the
notorious James boys lived in Missouri
will be taken to Chicago for exhibition
at the lair. This is an excellent idea.
There are millions of boys.n the United
States to whom that house would be a
sacred relic of the great men whose
mighty dneds they aspire to initiate.
By all means abandon the idea of the
log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln
lived, and take this outlaws den in its
place. a large annex TO it might be
built containing free reading room
stored with dime novels, detective tales
and cheap story papers, and adjoining
it should be an auditorium in which
daily lectures o the fine art of murder,
bank, train and stage robbery and other
kindred topics could be delivered. 1t
would be the most instructive and valu-
able feature of the fair, and to conduct
it properly there should be new de-
partmeut entitled the Bureau of Pub
licity and Promotion of Youthful De-
pravity. .u--Oregonian.

Keep It Out of the Paper"

The following, from the Grass Valley
Tidings, describes the situation to a
nicely "Keepi it out of the paper" is
the cry which the local newspaper pub
Usher daily hears. To oblige often costs
considerable, though the party who
makes the request thinks the granting
hardly worth saying "thank you'' for.
A newspaper is queer thing in the
public's eye. The news gatherer is
stormed at because he gets bold of one
item, and is abused because he does not
get another. Young men and young
women, as we'll older, perform acts
which become legitimate items for pub
lication, and then rush to the newspa-
per Office and beg the editors not to no.
tice their escapades. The next day they
condemn the paper for not having pub
lished another party for doing the same
thing they were guilty of, forgetting ap-
parently, their ate visit to the printing
office. The subscribers expect to read
the news, and there is always wonder
when. Tor charity's sake, an item in the
streets and in every body's mouth is not
found in the next issue ofthe paper.

Additional Locals.

Our promised Blazing Rag" cores
pondent will have to excuse the NUGGET
for not publishing his letter. 1t is too
personal, and calculated to wound the
feelings of persons for whom the NUG-
GET. and the com munity in general, have
entire respect. The letter is well writ
ten and contains some good things, but it
is principle with the publishers never
to intentionally wound the feelings OF
good and respectable people. We love
to "go for" persons who do mean
things, but, while this letter does not
imply that any one has done mean
thing, it would nevertheless hurt some
one's feelings.

MINING NUGGETS.

The success of the concentration of the
Flint district ores is now 80 well assured
that it is likely to bring quite an ex-
tended belt of mines in that section into
demand Cottonwood, some four miles
northeast of Flint, and the Mammoth
district, some three miles further east,
are said to have numbers of good prop
critics in the same character of ore and
some of the lodges are very large, but
not Of high grade. II they can be cheap
ly worked into concentrates the plants
to work them need not necessarily be
very expensive and the field is an open
one for small capitalists to make prof
table investment If the successful ex-
periments made by the parties operat-
ing the Flint mines should bring all of
this extensive district into prominence
they will certainly be entitled to a good
deal of credit and we hope their reward
will be equal to the persistence they
have shown.
