There has been mining done on the bars
of the Columbia and Snake rivers for many
years, says the Ellensburg LocGlizer Fair
wages have been made too, but a large per
cent of the gold was lost. simply because
the machinery employed did not save it. II
vised to save the flour gold, the ground
that has been worked could be worked over
| again with as good results az when worked
| before. L: is claimed that new machinery
has been invented that meets the require
me t., but we have not seen any account of
its practical results. and consequently know
nothing Of its value or success.
Mr.. A. Ullrich has been engaged during
the past week in testing his new water
motor-a patent for which has been applied
for-near. Mr.. SeufeTt's residence on Five
Mile creek. 1t works excellently, aud
forces water to u considerable height. This
will work quite a revolution in hydraulic
machinery, and can BE- CONVENIENTLY aud
cheaplv utilized. M. Ulrieh expects to in
tro1uce his new appiauce for the nltiz ltIon
of water power very generally through this
country during another season. Every one
who has seen it speaks in the highest terms
of it's capacity, aud there. will be large de.

come known.
The item. gatherer has no harvest these
times. His usual repositories are generally
devoid of interest. The clerks office is
quiet, and aside from placing on record
mortgages, bills OF SALE etc., tn re Is moth
ing that would "point moral or acorn n
tale. and the place where the sheriff sits on
mis- throne is similar. The justice courts
show little activity, and aside from a
"drunk" or hobo the recorder is not very
busy Even the Umatilla House. the usual
rendezvous of celebrities, has a record of
but few important arrivals since the abind-
onmeut OF the O'Clock east-bound and 4 !
o'clock west bound trains. These show
that there is no unusual stir in matters and
drives the reporter to other tields-perhaps
to his eel sors-to furnish news.
This is picture painted by the pen of
the editor of the Ellensburg Register:
"Harvesting will be at its best next week,
judging by the yellow appearance OF the
valley. The view from an elevated position
in the city is a study full of interest.
There are very few localities where nearly
every farm for miles around can be seen
from one point, as can be done here. At
this season of the year the different crops
are outlined hy lights and shades indicating
to the experienced eve the character OF gram
In the many fields Long ricks of hay are
seen standing thickly in every meadow. and
soon the busy hum Of the harvester and
thresher will go up from hundreds of fields
that now resemble a landscape painting
than reality"
