The Turk gang are still at their old
tricks, and this time one Of its notori-
GUS members. Frank Turk is safely in
the clutches of the Multnomah county
officers. The charge is Of kidnapping
and If he is found guilty 1t will proba
bly, land him in the penitentiary. The
outfit to which he belongs is one of the
.vllest of lis kind ON the coast, and they
have little respect for the law, and
even less pity for the poor sailors whom
they attempted TO send to sea with
scarcely enough clothes to make one
comfortable in a much milder climate
than this. There is scarcely any pun
ishment too severe for such rascals as

The Mirage in Texas.

In Texas mirages can be witnessed in
as wonderful forms as are ever produced
in any part Of the world. In that por-
tion of the State marked upon the maps
of the olden time as desert, where no
plant could grow or breathing thing live,
but which is now cut up into immense
wheat or grazing fields, have expert
enced the most life-like optical delusions
of which the mind can conceive. For
that matter the entire prairie appears
to be delusion. The air is SO rare that
no odor is preceptible even from carrion.
AS man rides along he sees before him
beautiful groves of majestic trees which
when reached, prove to be mesquite
bushes three or four feet in height.
Over the plain are what appear to be
stakes six or eight feet high, which in
reality are Spanish daggers about foot
in height, the entire plain being called
the "Staked Plain, from the effect pro-
duced by this plant The best mirages
or cloud pictures are to be seen about
Amarillo, where beautiful lakes appear
to be but mile or two away, and
strangers almost invariably ask if they;
contain fsh. Views of the gulf are oc-
casionally had. and once steamer in
distress was seen, and it was learned that
a steamer had been lost at sea at that
time. A few miles above Amarillo is a
steep canyon, the prairie ending abruptly
where the river flows between perpen-
dicular rocks, 1000 feet below the table
land. This canyon can sometimes be
seen inverted in the sky. The mirages
assume all kinds of shapes, and in the
summer season few days pass during
which there is not some kind of land
scape scene in the sky.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

curling bonspiels, skating, etc The
grand ball will be given in the Parlia-

Ho for the Carnival.

Quebec is making active preparations
for winter carnival that will equal
anything ever done by Montreal, and
into which many novel features will be
introduced. A whole week is to be
devoted to the many items on the pro-
gramme. The Chateau Frontenac Hotel,
which has just been completed at a cost
of $3.50, 900, opened it's doors On the 14th
inst As several other hotels have been
recently opened, visitors to the carnival
are assured of ample accommodation.
The carnival opens Oh the Goth of Janu-
airy and closes Feb.s.
Instead Of an ice palace, Quebec will
erect vast ice fortress on the old city

THE oRoAs AND THE WHALE.
An Old whaIer's Yarn of Fierce Combat
in the Sea.

Hank Welsh, who has followed whal-
ing for many years, was lucky enough
to be one of a crew beyond the Gulf Of
the Holy Cross last spring that came
upon large whale in.distress, surround
ed by three monster orcas, or billers,
which had him winded and badly
wounded. The story is best told by
Welsh:
We saw big broadhead half mile
away to windward, and he kept a-jump-
ing so hard that we knew he was in
trou BILE. When we got closer we saw
some thrashers or billers afoul OF him,
and the water for an acre or two around
was bloody. The orcas were pretty big
ones and very vicious, especially one
which was fully twenty feet long, and
when the whale went down few faith
oms this old boy rushed down after him
and gave it to him hard. You see, a
whale can stay under about half an
hour, and he can go down 400 or 500
fathoms without minding the pressure,
but he can't do single submarine trick
ahead of an orca. These orcas some
times chase a whale SO hard that when
he hits the bottom he breaks his jaw
bone. Well, this old orca followed the
whale so savagely that he did not stay
down over five minutes at time, and
when he came up he was jumped on
by the other two, which kept watch on
him like two hungry wolves. When he
saw the ferocious gang he seemed to lose
heart, for they were too quick for him.
] think he was just about worn out, or
downhearted, or something, for he an
! a. IL L.
orca chance to slide up and catch him
by the under lip and bite piece out.
The old fellow dashed and Owed, but
down went another orca after him.
When the whale came up the orca
had him by the lip, and the third one
caught him by the tongue. Now a
whales tongue is six feet long and
orcas jerked it out of him piece by piece,
and then ate off his lower lip in spite of
all he could do beat all the fights under
the sun. How that whale did suffer till
we got up and let dynamite bomb in
to him When Bill Peters lanced him he
seemed to enjoy it, for he turned over
and died easily
1t seems to be agreed among all whal-
ers that no fight ever seen equals the
awful combats which these sea monsters
wage against one another with unfag
ging ferocity. The orca is the only granpus
or warm blooded animal of the ocean
that constantly preys upon warm-blood-
ed creatures of his own kind, preferably
the whale, the largest of his species.
strength and ferocity are remarkable
"The orcas often travel with sword
fish," said Captain Thompson, an old
whaler, and 1 have sometimes seen
whole school in combat with four or
five orcas and few sword fish :. When
the orcas commence to tear his under lip
and tongue, which are choice morsels
for them, he seems TO know his days are
mum bered. I don't know how long a
whale can live after these savage Great
ures attack him, but our crews have
found several cacrasses of whales which
had bled to death from the wounds thus
inflicted. I have also seen broken backed
orcas which had been struck by whales
