The State portage railway at the Cas-
cades has been seriously damaged by the
flood, and it will take some time and
considerable repairs before it will be in
running order again. The portage is
now made by wagons, and passengers
are forced to walk quite distance and
in many instances in mud ankle deep.
In building and strengthening the
bulkhead at the Cascade locks 5000 bar
rels of cement We're used, which, OF
course, is dead loss. 1t costs 81. SO per
barrel, making this one item of the ex-
pense 81, 500. When the labor and other
expenses are figured up, the cost of pro-
tecting the locks will reach the neigh
borhood OF $50, 900.
May was good month for the Oregon
Pacific. According to the Corvallis Times

The mining industry in the vicinity of
Baker City is steadily going forward.
The Virtue mine recently yielded a So
600 cleanup, and the Moores mine is
kept running night and day. Ten stamps
will soon be added to the mill, and a
concentrating plant has already been
| added. A run is being made at the San
ger mine. Only about 100 tons OF rock
will be crushed for the present, but there
is some prospect of the mine being OPP
Grated on an extensive scale before long.
| The Nelson placer claim is running full
| blast with an abundance OF water. The
| Robbins mine on Pine creek has started
up again. This mine had been lying
| idle for year. Several Baker City busl-
ness men, who are interested in mining
properties in the Cable Cave districts,
| find it impossible to reach their proper
ties, owing to the great amount OF fallen
timber, the result of the recent wind
storm that passed over that portion OF
Baker county. 1t is stated that the road
is in an impossible condition, and that
, il will undoubtedly remain so for some
time,

pany has begun suit against the city for
$l3, 364 for the water pipe which Mayor
Huson and the Board of Public Works

The water company wants the pipe re-
turned or the value of it. The seizure
created sensation at the time, and the
President of the water company, Theo-
dore Hosmer, swore a great oath and
said the water company would have the
pipe. 1t was claimed by the city author
tiles referred to, but not by the City
Council, that the water company BAN
boozled the city on its reports of the
amount of supplies, pipe and other ma
terial on hand, and the Mayor and the
Board of Public Works ostensibly made
the seizure to even up matters on that
score.

Syndicate Formed to Help California :
Wine Growers over Their Crisis
Pacific Coast News.
SAN Francisco, CAL.-There is good
news for the wine growers of California
A syndicate is organizing which will be
willing to pay living prices to vineyard
lists. Capitalists who have money in
vested in viticulture, banks which hold
mortgages on vine lands and dealers who
do not believe in killing the goose that
lays the golden egg, and who represent
an aggregate of 10000 900, are about to
combine to place one of California's
principal industries once more on pay
ing basis, They have an interest in pro-
tecting the 100000, 600 invested in wine
making, and they stand,ready to pursue
a liberal policy toward the producer.
They propose to put 81 600, 900 in the
scheme and to incorporate for five years.
They ask that from 80 to 80 per cent of
the growers shall bind themselves to
give options on their crops. The propo-
sition to organize the syndicate does not
come from its members, but from the
committee of wine growers recently APP
pointed to devise some means by which
the crisis in the industry might be
overcome. These committeeman visited
bankers, capitalists and dealers, laid be-
fore them plan of action and obtained
a provisional consent. Now they are at
work on the producers, and hope within
ten days or a fortnight to obtain sutii-
cient options to launch the project to

self your true character stands out IN

TO MARK THEIR GRAVES.


Monument spoken of for the Vandalia
and Nipsic Sailors.
SAN Francisco, CAL.-There is a move
ment on foot at Vallejo to raise by sub
scription fund sufficient to erect a
splendid monument over the graves OF
the sailors of the wrecked United States
war vessels Vandalia and Nipsic, who
lost their lives in the terrible hurricane
which swept the Bay OF Apia in 1889. 1t
will be remembered that shortly after
that awful disaster in Samoa, which re-
suited in the loss of so many brave sail
ors, nineteen of the NandaIia and Nip
sic's dead were brought to this port and
inferred in the cemetery at Vallejo. I'm
til recently, however, only plain board
has marked the location of their graves,
although it has been hoped that some
steps would be taken by the government
to place a monument over the spot.
Friends of the dead sailors, however,
have hoped in vain. Unfortunately there
were no funds at Mare Island which
could be used for such a purpose. Those
who have the plan in charge propose to
solicit subscriptions from residents of
Vallejo and the navy yard and also from
men aboard different warships, who will
no doubt gladly contribute their mite to-
ward such fitting tribute.
