Oregon Always Leads.

The natural resources of this state al
ways attract attention, and create wonder
and surprise to all visitors. Our fruits and
cereals are never excelled and rarely
eaualled, and receive high compliments
wherever exhibited. 1t Is true that the apa
preparation was not sufficient to make
proper showing at the worlds fair, but not
withstanding this drawback Oregon has
been recognized in very creditable man
ner. Hon. NJ. Wilkins, one of the Oregon
national commissioners to the worlds fair
and member of the Oregon State Com
mission, is In receipt of letter from Direc-
tor General Davis which contains this COM
pliment for Oregon: 81 have visited the
Oregon section in agricultural building and
the EXHIBIT is tasty one, and was partic-
ularly interested in your specimens of
combed wool. 1t Is almost impossible to
believe that they were grown in eleven and
fourteen months respectively, as judge
that means nearly an inch of growth per
month, which is certainly wonderful
showing, and could only have been attained
by the many years of patient study and at
tention which You have given the subject. "

Washington IS in bad luck with its oefc.
ials. Seattle and Whatcom have suffered
from defaulting officials, and the last heard
from is Anacortes, of which the following
will give particulars: "Ex. City Treas
urer John N. Platt, of Anacortes, Wash,
has been arrested. charged with embezzling
city funds At the time of the failure of
the bank of Anacortes, of which he was
manager. about $4,000 of the city's money
was on deposit. Platt retained the odice
of treasurer for time. but finally resigned,
and when the new treasurer qualified he
was rendered the books and papers belong
ing to the Office and few dollars in coin.
The arrest was made on account of this
shortage, amounting to S7587.29. The
bank of Anacortes belonged to certain mem
bers of the Oregon Improvement company
and at one period handled hundreds Of
thousands of dollars"

Son of 0aaswattamle.



A son of old John Brown of Ossawattamie,
the abolitionist of Harper's Ferry fame, has
settled in Salem. His name is Salmon
Brown. He arrived from California this
week, travelling with his family overland by
wagon, and was bound for Seattle All the
household goods had been sent by water to
the Puget sound city, but the members of
the family preferred TO travel so they could
observe the country. When they got to
Salem they were satisfied to pitch their tent
permanently. They sent word to Seattle
to have their goods sent back to Salem, and
cast about for an abiding place. They
found one in Englewood that suited them,
and the ladies of the family at once took
possession of the premises, while Mr.. Brown
came down town and closed the deal for the
property with Secretary Smith of the Sa-
lem Building & Loan association. The, price
of the house and lot was $1,000 Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown. one son and one daughter have
taken up their abode in the new home.
There is another daughter teaching school
in California and another son praoticing
dentistry IN Seattle The Browns have
been in the sheep business extensively in
California. But that industry is playing
out there, and they will probable purchase
a farm near Salem and engage in some
branch Of agriculture that is more perma-
nent. 1t was many years ago that Mr..
Brown went from Ossawattamie. Kansas.
to California. 1t was only by accident that
the connection between him and the bold
abolit;onist was discovered here.

The First SaKmilI.

The first sawmill in Washington was
built by DIR. Marcus Whitman in lS45.
The site was q miles from his mission at
Wailatpu, and l3 miles above the present
CITY of Walla Walla, at point where the
valley of the creek Is contracted to a mar
row canyon in the foothills of the Blue
mountains. The Union journal says the
remnants of the old dam, qvergrown with
trees and brush are still plainly visible. At
: he time of the massacre at the mission, the
sawmill was conducted by Elan Young.
Himself and wife and three grown sons.
and another family named Smith were then
residing at the null. On the day following
the massacre James Young, one of the sons,
started for the mission. ignorant of the
bloody work of the savages on the preced.
ing night. When passing over the hill
within two miles OF the mission be was
by Indians. The remainder of
the mill colony escaped.

EnuI PLAY Suspected.

BOISE, Idaho. Sept. 24-A few weeb s
ago it was reported that H. P. Nelson, a
Boise valley ranchmap, bad mYsteriously
disappeared, and subsequent develop
ments indicate that be may have been
fouIly dealt with. Nelson sold part of
his land and put the money, nearly
$4,000, 10 the bank. He then arranged
TO 90 off en- a prospecting tour, taking
with him a man who had been working
for him He is known to have purchased
all outfit, loaded in into a wagon and
started off, but since then nothing has
been heard of him. After the lapse of
some weeks without news from him, his
wife came to town and set an inquiry
afoot. 1t was found he had drawn his
money from the bank, but nothing more
could be learned of him, though officers
made every effort. Two theories were
advanced, one based ON knowledge of
spme domestic friction. that he had
drawn his money and left the country !;
the other that his companion had In
duced him to draw the money and then
murdered and robbed him. A few days
ago an abandoned wagon was found IN
gulch near the Moore creek summit, con
tanning complete outfit. This has not
been identified, but Mrs. Nelson thinks
1t is the wagon in which her husband
started off She has sent party to make
an examination to determine whether or
not this is true. 1t seems probable that
Mrs. Nelson is correct. and that her hus-
band was murdered for tine money that
he carried.

Reception at DR.. Holl1sters'
From Tuesdays Daily.

A reception was given Miss Matilda
Hollister by DR.. Hollister, her brother,
and Mrs. Holllster last evening at their
residence in this city. The time was spent
very agreeably by renditions on the piano
and games of whist, and the excellent en-
tertalning qualities of Mr.. and Mrs. Hol-
lister added very materially to the pleas
ures of the occasion. Very unique score
cards. as souvenirs, were made from birch
bark, which was gathered by Miss Hollis
ter in the forests of Michigan. This has a
smooth surface and gives marks, either
with pen or pencil, clear legibillty.
During the evening the guests were re-
galed with an elegant rejection. The
first prize for ladies was handsome gold
pen with ivory holder, and the prize for
gentlemen an elegant bound volume of
The Bridge of the Gods"

The Fiour Gold Machine

The Boise Statesman furnishes the follow
ing description of the ''four gold machine, -
which is now being extensively used on the
bars of the Snake and Columbia rivers:
"The machine consists of long narrow box
n the bottom of which is a layer of amalga
mated copper plates. At intervals of about
six inches are Stats of copper plate in ver-
tical position, each extending across the
box and SO arranged that water turned into
the box under a slight pressure will be
forced under the first plate, over the top of
the second, under the third and so on to
the end. Y 1t is claimed to be impossible for
a particle of gold, when run through the
box with the fine sand, to escape the ANAL
gamated plates. Some may pass the first
two or three plates, but it will be attracted
further on, either to the pieces of copper in
the bottom or to the uprights.

/ DIsooRDANr NOTE.

The whole spirit of the parliament
of religions is that of toleratlon. The
most widely divergent theological ideas
are allowed free scope. The audience
Is eminently liberal. But when ex-
Consul Webb, who claims to be con-
vert to Mohammedanism, says an east
ern exchange, tried to speak good
word for polygamy he was Kissed SO
vigorously that he lost no time in
switching off to something else. That
is not religious question but rather
a question of ethics. The moral sense
Of two continents unites in condemn
ing polygauy as crime against So
ciety, and on that ground the subject
should be ruled out of all meetings of
religious congresses.
The representative of Brahma. and
Buddha were to the manner born, and
they knew better than to ring in the
discussion of social and domestic ques-
tions of ethics. Child widows and
caste are set down by some writer's as
the especial curse of India, but they
were not in any way discussed. The
Greek and the Roman churches both
gave cordial endorsement to the relig-
ious congress plan, one holding a con-
gress of Its own, the other participat-
ing in the parliaments. These two
great branches of the Christian church
differ diametrically on marriage, one
forbidding its priests to marry, the
other requiring If. No allusion was
made to these conflicting matrimonial
ideas and practices. 1t would have
been out of place to have done so.
Mr.. Webb deserved the rebuke he re
ceived.
Mohammedanism is the youngest of
all the great religions, but 1t is also
the least progressive, or, to be more
exact the most aggressively hostile to
improvement. The sword of Islam is
drawn in defense and propagation of
the faith of the prophet without any
concession to modern ideas. But even
the Moslem shows some signs of re-
lenting. At least one ray of the
morning suu shines. upon its minarets.
A movement has heen started for abol
ishing polygamy, as no longer suited
to the conditions of civilized society. |
How far it will reach remains to be
seen. As yet it has not penetrated far
enough to be more than FAINT sleam
of hone.

More blood will be shed to-day at Santa
Fe Some national troops have already '

source. This is the situation from reb-
ell standpoint On the other hand, Pei.
lIgrini's adherents have equipped the ma

fighting is looked forward to. The pro-
vince Of Entire Rios is sending several
battaliors of the national guard to the

hopes to be at the head of an army large
enough to subdue the rebels. This, the

in short order. Later III the day dis

that the situation is growing more SER

The editorial association is expected
to meet IN Portland this week, and a
subscription has been taken up to en-
tertain them. We are sorry that this
annual meeting of editors is more of a
junketing party than anything else;
and very little business is transacted
for the benefit of the profession.
While it is simply an excursion or va
cation, editors should pay their own
way, and not depend upon public char
ity for their expenses. The metropo-.
lis has been canvassed for days. and
the munifcent sum of $40 raised
among the 100, 900 inhabitants to en-
tertain the pencil-pushers.
