A Memory Of a Tragedy.

settlers upon the reservation report
the discovery in Five Mile Canyon, of
the ruins of mining camp and
some human skeletons. This reyives
the memory of Il tragedy. 1t was re-
ported iu Lewiston i'm the fall of 1863
that murder had been committed in
that region by the Indians. A miner
Appeared III the ely and reported shat
his partner had been killed at their
mine IN Five Mile Canyon. After "A
prosperous season, the story went, one
partner was sent out for SUI plies.
Wnl'e Oh the return trip, with the
winters provision the Indians ill.,
formed the man in charge that rene
gides had killed his partner and
This i, tn" story told 10y the miner
who claimed to be the surviving party.
There were some to suspicion the part
ner, out the suspicion of IA tragedy in
those daV, did not create II sensation
aud it passed out of mind when the
subject Of the suspicion disappea red.
The Indians denied that their people
had committed such crime or even
reported it to We partner.
Some years later, however, there
was Il second report of tragedy in
Five Mile Canyon. This time the
Nez Pclces told the story that bad
men had attacked mining camp in
that secluded spot and murdered
number of Cinnamon. The story was
a yeai olh or more when it became
curreut aud no official notice was
taken of the matter. 1t was known,
however, that Cinnamon had taken
possession of the old claim, which had
not been worked after the reported
murder of the white man. The China
men tore down the old slulce boxes
and maze rockers of the lumber. They
had done extensive work and were
murdered for their dust The bones
found by the SETTLE are doubtless
those OF The Chinese miners which
have been left where the Coyotes left
tn m for nearly thirty years.

A Plea for Conservatism.

TO TIE TEILER-.An e:a of good
times ha. already dawned upon the
country. The manufacturing interests
have revived after three years of de-
preston. Over production, under the
pressure of n market excited by reck
less speculation had reached the ut
most excess when the reverse came in
1898: and the opposite extremes of a
shortage in all Manufactured goods
WAS reached during the period of sus-
peuse before the president al election,
producing Il condition most favorable
for the immediate return of general
prusperity And aside from AL pnrti-
san considerations, the election of
Mckinley will hasten the return of
industrial prosperity. a majority of
the active business men of the country
rcnlcrcd their hopes in the party
whose policy wa~ opposed TO a change
in he financial standard, and the pos~
,,ibility ot consequent disturbance Of
values. The fostering of this abdtu
faith viii bca potential factor in the
immediate restoration of prosperity Ia
our iteie.s Industrial resources
The disintegration Of state and ma
tioual political parties has occasI"ned
unrest in some quarters. When this
fact is considered with mature jude
ment 1t will be recognized as iac,or
of reform. There have been well
founded reasons for efforts to secure
political reform measures, aud the
breaking away from old parties has
been anhOnest effort in that direction,
whatever may be said of the action in
some casts. The chief ground for ap.
prehension at this time is in the fact
that many inexperienced and some
what radical politicians have been
clothed with legislative aud other Off
cial duties. The economical ideas Of
this class OF citizens have been fostered
in schools that are not conservative.
The people from whom official power
Is delegated, are not radical. The ofli
clal servants are the representatives. of
all the people aud they should not act
the role Of radical partisaus. The leo-
pie of the Eas! look upon the people OF
the West with some suspicion since
political differences have become SOME
what sectional. Thls fear should be
appeased as far a, possible by conserya-
tive official acts.
We have in the West the elements
OF material prosperity. Without the
retarding influence of suspicion and
general depression we will lead in the
restoration of good times. We were
the last to suffer from financial distress
ana we may be the first to enjoy pros
perity. The advance in the price Of
wheat, our chief article of commerce,
has placed Us well in the lead, on the
way to the era of general prosperity.
lhe light in the East at this time is
the result of the election. While the
situation does not demand the sacri-
nee OF principle, there is n need of the
exercise Of conservatism lest the spirit
oi sectional strife he encouraged, with
the certainty of damage tn our finan-
ciai interests

A Severe Loss.

Asa result OF the heavy rains Of the
past week, the Clearwater river began
to raise Friday morning and Saturday

above low water mark. The local mill

almost all entire seasons work, aggre-
eating about two million feet OF fine
mill timber and u thousand cords of

wood. Elliott 4 Emery and J. M.
Harrington had built piers and placed
heavy booms In anticipation Of the us
ual fall rains, but the unprecedented
rise Of seven feet carried all the bar
ries away, and both drives went out
earlier Sunday morning.
During the fall Mr.. Harrington's q
mill had been in operation only few
weeks when 1t was destroyed by fire,
and as a consequence almost his entire
drive was In the water when the food
came. Following the destruction of
his mill, this last loss Is very severe
and sad one. He had made arrange
to build n new mill Immediately to
handle the mill timber. but this last
disappointment will make that move
indefinite.
Elliott 4 Emery had recently placed
new mill on the V0llmer mill yard,
and the plant had been running at full
capacity until shut down Saturday,
Besides 4OO, 900 feet of lumber on the
mill yard, they saved some 200, 600
feet of logs, which had been drag ed
above iha high water line, and their
loss Wilt not effect the firm as severely
as did Mr.. Harrington's effect him.

KNEW BRYAN PERSONALLY.


There was in town Monday an old
Nebraska Republican, who is person
ally acquainted with William j.
Bryan, and who lived in Bryan's dis
trict each time the latter was elected
to congress says the Corvallis Times
"Mr. Bryan Is one OF the best, and
one of the most remarkable men in
the country" he said. "He was
scarcely 81 when he was nominated
for congress-, and the majority against
him in the district was 2,4OO. No one
of course supposed he could overcome
such majority, but joint canvass
was arranged between him and Con-
nell, the Republican candidate, and
the remarkable able ability ard resist
less oratory of young Bryan, not only
swept the adverse majority of 2, 400
out of the way, but actually landed
Bryan IN the Office with a majority of
$500 to his credit. Nor was the
second contest made by Bryan for
congress less remarkable. The hope
lessness Of attempting to beat Bryan
was recognized and the district was
gerrymandered so that the normal Re:
publican majority in the district was
largely increased. Bryan was renom-
mated and against him was put up
Allen w. Field, the most powerful |
speaker and one of the popular men
In the district. The campaign was

Ohio, as well as other powerful Re-

from Silverton and around. Marquam
and thirty-fve Bryan men. Then at
the close of meeting asked for a show

Just think; this is campaign OF
education import an audience lall
goldDand then ask for a show of hands
to frighten Bryan men by their num-
bers. Trouble is, here we do not
frlghten worth cent. Mr.. Webber's
remarks were received, but he made
no change in any one. He SAID the
money question was not the paramount
issue, but Mckinley says il Is. He said
we had better times than any oUher
nation from 1880 TO 1892 under protec-

cuts no figure.

COOS COUNTY POLITICS.

Reports from Coos county indicat,
that county will give Bryan and Free
Silver a large majority. The tie or
member of legislature will be voted off
between the same candidates who ran
In June, and Buckman (People's) will
undoubtedly be returned.
1t has been ascertained, or claimed
that joint representative w. Fl.
Nosler of Coquille City, elected a
Populist, but now converted to Nc.
Kinley, was not a resident of tn,
state long enough to be qualified tC
hold the Office. He has been notified
but refuses to resign, and Jerry
Huntley, of Curry county, his Repub.
lican opponent will then get the seat
In the legislature to which NosIeI
was elected.
1t would seem as though Noslel !,
should resign. Together with his
change of heart politically, his con-
iuct has excited much comment.
