AsorHEg BLaE Bucket lTEN.-The Epi-
gram comes to the front with an entirely
new theory regarding the loss of the
famous B.ue Bucket mine, said To be in
Malheur or Harney county, saws tho
Gazette. Its informant is ore Mr.. Teter.
He says that away back in an early day
two Frencamen came on the old emigrant
trail, found the Blue Bucket mine and
were run out by the Indians; but before
they left they obliterated the grave which
marked days travel from the mine, and
made another grave many miles away,
marking it with the original headstonS,
TO throw any subsequent searcher of the
trail. Nothing was said as to what be
come of the two Fredehmen, but we pre-
sumo that it is safe to add that the ghost
of Mary Jane Cummings, whose last
resting place was so ruthlessly blotted
ou., arose in righteous Indignation and
haunted the two gentlemen OF frogeating
prcclivities to an early grave, and they
died sole possessors of the knowledge of
that renowned diggings, where ten to
sfty dollar nuggets could be picked up
by blue bueketfuls.

IMPORTANT SUrT.-Hon. Thos. ii. Tom
que OF Hillsboro and j. c. Moreland of
Portland came to the city by last nights
overland and the probability other PROM
inent lawyers will come up this morning,
as there is an important case to be ar
gued before The supreme court today ,one
IN which every county in the state is in
terested. There are really two cases ,one
from Judge Shattuck's court in Portland
and one from Judge Burnett OF this dis
trict, but both involve the same ques-
tions and both involve the same briefs.
One is case against the sheriff of Multi
nomah county on an agreed statement of
facts, in which the court held the salary
law of 1895 1.-THE Butler bill) valid and
that the sheriff was entitled to no other
compensation for the service of papers
than such as therein set forth. The
other is a case against the clerk OF Linn
county for writ OF mandamus command
ing him to file Il complaint upon the pay
ment of q statutory fee of 10 cents, which
he refused to do until the filing fee pro-
vided by the law OF 1858 should be paid.
Judge Burnett refused the writ of man
damus, hence the appeal. Il will be
seen that the two cases will test the val
idity of the original act of 1898 providing
for salaries instead of ices, and the Butler
act of 1925 amendatory therof.-States-

THURSDAY

ASEA LION At YAouINA.--Sunday there
was good deal of excitement on the bay
caused by baby sea lion crawling upon
the rock near the city, about twenty feet
from the high sidewalk. There are
plenty of seal in the bav but sea lions are
rare, and this one had been injured by
the surf and seemed to be in distress.
Quite crowd gathered and the ladies
and children were as delighted rs at q
circus, to be so near such \ sea monster
in state OF nature and free show at
that. rhe fellow wanted to throw a rock
at the baby lion soon found that the in
FAINT of the sea had friends in the crowd
who objected at such rudeness. Then
the man came with rifle to kill IL and
the remonstrances were still louder.
Some went so far as TO say that he had
no right to kill such an interesting visit.
or who sought shelter of tie bay in time
of storm. A dead sea lion is worthless
except for mounting, so the man with the
rifle had to desist. The lion was about
six feet long and q light fawn color, rs
graceful as greyhound. As we went to
take snap shot with our handy" CAM
era, it slid off into the bay, occasionally
coming up to take air. The man with
the rifle took q parting shot at it and it
disappeared. We did not learn whether
he hit il or not. There is not much sense
in killing all these creatures that are pro-
tectea in San Francisco harbor and else
where, to the great enjoyment OF all who
visit summer resorts. The Newport city
council should not allow them shot

NAKIyG A HARBOR on BLOCK Island

Block Island r. l.. June Is (SpeciaD.-Block ISL
ands prospects for a successful season are better
than ever before. There is steadily growing be-
lief that the project OF making a harbor In
the Great Salt Pond by cutting channel through
to the sea Is be a success lust north Of the
centre Of the island is large pond or lake. having
an area OF about one thousand acres. with a
depth Of from fifteen to sixty feet. This lake Is sep
arated from the on the west by narrow
neck OF land, and through 'his neck channel
300 feet wide and fifteen feet deep at mean low
water Is now being dredged. Communication has
already been established and the dredging Will
soon be completed. The sides Of the channel are
to be protected by grooved white oak planks driv
en- into the bottom and firmly spiked TO stringers
fastened to heavy oak piles driven twelve feet
apart from centres. The mouths OF the channel
on the outside TO be protected by stone break
waters.
Block Island practically commands the entrance
to Long Island Sound, Narragansett Bay and
Buzzard's Bay. and In case OF war such a har-
Dor as will be formed here would be Of incalcu-
liable value.
The hotels have let rooms in advance than
in any previous year OF the irlands history. and
not a cottage can now be secured at any price.

at Watch Hill is always later than at other places
on the coast but this 1t Will begin earlier than
usual. The hotels Will be open next week, and
many rooms engaged already. There has been
no change in the proprIetorship of any Of the hotels
save that Mr. Russell son-n-aw Of the late
Orrin s. Spencer. long landlord OF the Atlantic
House. Is manager and proprietor Of that hosiery
this season. Some improvements have been made.
notably the Introduction OF Elevators in both the
Watch Hill and the Ocean houses.
The opening OF the electric railway. with cars to
Westerly each half-hour. will tend TO make Watch
Hill more of an excursion resort than before
and destroy some OF It's former excusivenoes. Great
preparations have been made to cater TO the wants
of excursion parties. and several new amusement
and restaurant buildings have been erected.
These excursion features at some distance
from the hote.s and cottages and will probably
prove OF no serious annoyance. No liquor can
legally be sold in the town. and this helps 10 make
the gatherings free from noise and turbulence.
