ping th.. first night at the Upper Soda
springs. They came yesterday from
Lower Soda. which is sixty eight miles
from Salem. Th> boys report splendid
time and think they pushed their wheels
over roads that had heretofore been sun
trodden" by the rubber tire. The people
up in the mountains looked upon the
wheels with mingled awe and admiration.
THK LADDER QUESTION. is all nom
sense, said an old fisherman yesterday,
'this talk OF building a iish ladder at
the falls. Years ago, fish used to jump
q couple of months in the spring OF the
year now they jump only few days
because the traps, the many nets and
the rubbish and filth from mills and
factories have either destroyed or driven
away the fish. Salmon can get mp the
falls easy enough il they ais not killed
before they make the attempt. Every
fourth year We ought TO stop fishing en-
tirely maybe that would increase the
fish. II we don't do something to help
the fish, pretty soon the csnneries won't
have anything TO do at all Courier.
All the same salmon never did come up
the river ABOVE the fails to amount 10

A LINN CO. MAN THERE.-The Eu-
gene Register says: Mr. C Stone. OF
Oakville, Linn county, was In this city
yesterday, having Just returned from

up in company with an expert In silver
mining and reports that they found m
excellent lead of silver ore about I 40
miles below the mouth OF Blue river. They
have sent some samples 10 an assay Office
and are waning to hear from the same and
If reports ere satisfactory they will do
some mining there. They also visited
the other mines. No work is being done
in the Poorman mine at present. bu, some
Brownsville men went up there 4 few
days ago and expect TO rrsume work In
the tunnel. Ar Stone hls been In the
nines in Colorado the past fix months.
FROM THE FRoNT.-The chinsmen
sent to the front on the Oregon Pacific are
creating lots of talk, even II they are not
building much railroad. They were sent
out fer The purpose of putting the line in
through repair, but after all it would seem
as If theirs was nothing more than a WORE
preliminary to the resumption Of building
on across the mount1ins and east to a
connection with some Iranseontinentai
| line in Idaho or somewhere. Oregon

again. Statesman,

TEXAS JAcK.--Acoording to the follow

THE TELEPHOsERs.-The telephonl
men have reached Albany, and ar
camped across the river. The eevera
tents seen on the bank OF the Willamette
are not the advance guard of cam
meeting, as was reported. The men ST
rushing work desiring to complete tE
circuit as soon as possible. The tele
phone patent expires next March, whicl

sired to run the company's line acros
by the bridge, but it is doubted if tn
privilege be granted. These telephon
, lines are good things, and Albany ha
long seen the need OF system.
