The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1894-08-25

There has been considerable idle talk
about Prof. Falb's prediction that huge
tidal wave will visit this coast between
August 18th and August 30th, to be 60 feet
high, and that great submarine earthquake
will submerge New York city, disconnect
the peninsula of Florida from the mainland
and cause it to sink. make an island of
California and produce tidal wave along
the North Pacific coast. There is no dan
ger of these predictions being fulfilled. If
g the conjunction of certain planets could
ever produce such result by attraction or
otherwise there is sufficient room IN the
vastly deep for such wave to exhaust itself
without piling up such tidal wave as pre-
dicted, which would submerge Yaqulna and
other seaside resorts of the northwest.
Sensible people will take things as they
come, and rely upon nat1re's laws to keep
things going IN spite of Prof. Falb's awful
prediction.

APeacefuI PeonIe,

A Roseburg newspaper man wen
across the Coast mountains TO Scottsbuge
last week, and down the Umpqua to
Gardiner. At this beautiful little place
he found something which to him was
new, and which probably would be- new
to nine-tenths of the people of Oregon
Unto the mouth of the Umpqua flows
Smith river, an inconsequential stream
enough excepting for the tides. which
carry censi .erable traffic up and down
the shallow ami narrow channel. This
river, like the Coos and Coquille, is lined
with very fertile farms, whose thrifty
proprietors do their own transporting to
and from town by scows, on which they
load, going, their produce, and, returning,
their supplies, the incoming and oulgo-
ing tides furnishing their sole motive
power. Here the traveller finds happy
and coutented people, whose very name
is hospitality, and among whom hard
ii mes are unknown.

From the l., Grande Chronicle we learn
the following regarding the copper mines
in that portion of Eastern Oregon:
1t is reported that the copper mine six
miles from Medical Springs, has been sold
to Salt Lake capitalists.
This mine was located some thirty years
ago, but has never been extensively devel-
oped until recently. Work upon the mine
IN the past few months has uncovered a fne
ledge which produces ore very rich in pure
copper. As this showing is fully up to the
expectations of the Salt Lake men, aid as
they have had the mine bondeh 1t is about
certain the owneIs. the Gi kibson Brothers,
will effect sale to them. These same cap
italists recently bought the copper ledge
eight miles west of North Powder on Pill
cher creek. These men, from the city of
the Saints, have plenty of money which
they propose to use IN working out the
wealth lying in these Union county mlnes

of the presence of the deadly gas until he
was suddenly overcome by it. the man
who was helping him. when he discovered

The Game Law.

Concerning the game law, there seems
to be difference of opinion. the editor
of one of the Eugene papers is of the
opinion that the game law, as amended
by the last legislature, is very inde6nlte,
but as interpreted by some of our best
attorneys 1t means TO entirely prohIblt
the sale of deer meat at any seaso of the
year. Some people now seem to haye the
impression that it Is lawful to sell deer
meat during the NJ 1nths of August and
September. This Is mistake. Il is
lawful to Kill deer for ones own use dur
ing the months, but not to sell the meat.
There are some people in the Cascade
mountains who kill large numbers OF
deer each fall and bring them to the city
TO sell. According to the best construc-
tion Of the statutes, this Is now clear
violation Of the law, and hunters will do

The Governmental arrangements Of
Bermuda ought to possess considerable
interest for the Hawaiian Islands at this
moment, in view Of llawaii's approach
ing Constitutional Convention, with its
task of providing for stable represen-
tative system. Although the civil Gov
eminent of Bermuda is under the
executive headship of the British mil
itary commandant, the colony is, in
fact, self governing as regards all its
local affairs. The franchise is restricted
TO those possessing certain property
qualifications; and at the last enumer.
alton there were l60 voters ont of
total population of some fifteen
thousand. OF the 1906 voters, there
were 1888 white men and 40i colored.
Each of the nine parishes is entitled to
four representatives in the Legislative
Assembly and the tenure Of their Office
is seven years.
The revenue system is very simple
one, and it would seem to give uni
versal satisfaction. Bermuda is the
only spot ON earth that can now recall
where the question Of taxation is not in
( controversy. The colonial income is
derived from per cent. tax upon all
imports,-with few specified excep-
tons, such AS spiritious liquors and {, e
bacco in all forms, which pay at higher
rates. The only important article on
the free list is coal. the importation of
which the Government wishes to render
as little burdensome as possible. Out
of the fund produced by the per cent.
ad valorem tax and the duties ON
| liquors and tobacco, the various depart
ments of the Government are main
tanned, and most admirable system of
perfectly graded and beautifully sur
faced roads, extending throughout the
Islands. is kept in fine order. In several
of the parishes trifling parish rate is
levied for certain local objects, but it is
too light to bear EXCEPTIONALLY upon any
interest.
The Church of England, to which the
great majority of the Bermudians adj
here, has always been subsidized out OF
the colonial treasury. Each parish has
its Anglican. church, and some of these
structures are of great age, while all OF
III m are attractive and substantial edi-
fees. At Hamilton an ambitious and
really very handsome cathedral church
is now undergoing completion, replac
ing an earlier structure which was
destroyed by fire. Other denominations
though not numerically strong as com
pared with the Church of England, are
now also subsidized by the Government
in proportion to the number of their ad
herents and upon terms as liberal az
