A frey Ordeal.

T.. s. Winters, of Salem, his
daughter Miss Minnie, his three sons,
Miss May Stanley, Of MehaHs, and
Mr. Spalding, who have been camping
in the uplands near Fish lake for the
past ten days, broke camp on Monday
last and started for Salem, says the
Salem Statesman, on reaching what Is
known as "Seyen-Mile" hill the forest
was found to be a mass of roaring
flames, thousands of acres in extent.
The road running In the woods at this
point was impossible, though some
teams just ahead Of Mr.. Winters sue
ceeded in getting through the fire.
belt by dint of hard running, but all
parties attempting 1T were badly
scorched about the hands and face and
horses suffered much worse. Seven
teams congregated OIL the hill where
the Winters party were halted and
the men worked desperately, but sue
cessfully, 10 save the bridge next
ahead Of them on their home journey.
After this delay the whole party pro-
ceeded over hot Goals and burning
embers and through dense and suf-
locating smoke toward their several
destinations: The ladies involved in
the adventure were sorely frightened
duiiDg the conflict with the frey ele-
ments, but this wore off when they
were once more started Oh their home
ward trip. The track OF the fire ex-
tended north and east toward Clear
lake and Mr.. Winters says he never
saw a forest fire of such intensity and
rapidity Of motion as the one here re-
ported. ~

: From the Mines.

Captain Hank Smith, superintend-
ent Of the Lawler mines, passed
through this city yesterday afternoon
on his way to Salt Lake City, Utah,
where he will spend two months be-
fore returning to the Quartzvllle dis.
trict. He stated that the mines were
running in full force and that the
work was progressing satisfactorily.
The Co. is now running three tunnels
into the mountains, and great deal
Of development work is being carried
on. One Of the tunnels which is be.
ing run into White Bull mountain
will be run 800 ora 1000 feet deep un.
tila point directly below the apex Of
the hill--where the government mon
ument stands--is reached. Captain
Smith said he was determined to see
what was In the heart Of the noun
tain, mud that he. believes good ore
would be struck there, After Cap
Smith returns from Salt Lake City he
will go into the Blue river country
where the big English syndicate,
which has interests in Quartzville ARE
heavily interested, There Is no doubt
that the Oregon mines will be
thoroughly developed, as the English
syndicate is said to be backed by the
Rothschilds. Salem Statesman. :,

The Woodburn Independent says
that the harvest for this year, with
the exception Of the late spring grain,
has been completed. Now and then
good yields are reported, but in the
majority of cases fall wheat on sum-
tner fallow yielded from IS to 25
bushels per acre, while that rasied on
stubble land gave about half as much.
Spring wheat and oats, so far as
threshed, have made just half q crop.
Grain has been saved in good condi-
ton, and should bring better prices
than are being paid at present. II is
believed that there will be but little, il
any, oats for export, as there was no
more raised than will be required for
home consumption.

The Mexican Herald says
"Silver monometallism is MAX
ing Mexico strong and wealthy,
it is building up local industries,
Hence we are for the silver dol
lar of Mexico, the dynamo which
sends its force through our entire
social mechanism. We do moi
wonder that our American edit
ors who see business stagnant
their readers out of employment
and a paralysis of affairs, advo
cate the adoption of the Mexican
plan. We sincerely hope, how
ever, that they will stick to the
gold and stay so for a quarter o.
a century more. Meantime Mex
leo will continue to grow rich OF
silver. Free silver in America
would be bad for u.s."

The Boise Statesman in it's is
sue of May 81, under an article
headed plan of the Silverites, =
says; "Populists and Silver
Party politicians do not talk
much on this feature of the
question. They are hopeful that
the silver men will not control al
Chicago"
Now don't you know, Mr..
Statesman, that you could not
have told q bigger lie in so few
words !? There is not one Popu-
list in a hundred that does not
implore Heaven to guide the
Dmocrat members of the Chicago
convention to be bold and faith
full in the relief of poor suffering
Americans by voting overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the remonetiza-
ton of silver and nominating a
man who is unfaltering in his
support of it's fullest use. Take
back the lie and acknowledge
your financial wickedness. One
is known by his company.

Nor, we would suggest, by any
plans marked by superior wis
dom. What was desired by 9th
ers, in former campaigns, is now
adopted by those who assume
control-evidently because they
see that their plans led to fail
ures, while those who thought
and acted more moderately were
successful in their efforts. 1t is
not always best to come too read
lily to the front-personally-
all times for the good of a noble
cause. And we would say to our
friends that what is so plainly
fair that all the world cam see it's
appropriateness, wins. One side
edness will soon destroy. Now
there are others left who are
quite as competent living where
their works tell, who would like
to have gone to that convention;
but they are not called. Others
are kept constantly in the front.
That does not always lead to
victory. This is not said on &C
count of our desire to attend at
st. Louis, or to be named for
that position. We would not;
we could not go. We are too
poor-but others could and would
have gone and the distribution
would have been far more dis
Greet. Those who are named
are all good men, and our future
will show that we shall uphold
their good actions; but it were
better that are more careful in
the future. Never forget your
friends for the reason that they
are not in your immediate pres
ence. And, above all things, in
reforms, be careful to show a
high regard for even-handed
dealing. 1t wins. Nothing is
so successful as honorable, high
open-handed success. That kind
lasts, and you never have to go
back and take time and power to
straighten it's lines.

On the 25th ultimo the Popu-
list State Central Committee OF
Idaho in counsel met to regulate
for the coming conventions of
the party; but instead of arrang-
ing for conventions they conclud-
ed to take the place of the com
mon soldier of the army of Popu-
ulists and regulate it themselves.
They did, however, appoint a
day and place for holding the
coming nominating convention,
putting it at Boise City, on the
18th of August. This last is
very good both as to place and
time. Doubtless other organiza-
tons will meet there at the same
time. There is no doubt but the
committee did. what, under all
the circumstances, seemed fair
and best to all; but we would
suggest a thought or two, that
may bring to mind some reasons
why we had better take warning
from that occasion to guide us in
the future. The State was easily
divided into three divisions and
with two delegates in each dis
trict the delegation would have
been fairly divided among the
people of our party; but instead
of that they sent three delegates
from the part of the State least
supported by the Peoples Party
and one delegate from each Of
the strongholds. Now we ask
why Was it done ? And we
assure our brethren that the rule
will not prove beneficial and
should not be followed. 1t Ger
tainly was not because the poin
from which they were mainl,
selected had ever won any hon
ors, by victories-not county
and, we believe, not a precinct

In an open letter Gov. Altgeld,
of Illinois, replies to the address
on the money question which
Secretary Carlisle recently de-
liverod in the Auditorium at
Chicago. Governor Altgeld's
letter is in part as follows:
IA teacher should be willing
to answer questions. At the
close of Mr.. Carlisle's speech, a
number of gentlemen arose and
asked for further information,
but he turned his back and slip
ped off the stage and, by direc-
ton of his managers, the ques-
TONERS were hustled out by po-
licemen. He could have made
himself very interesting on a
number of points which he per.
sistently ignored"

Carlisle's speech in Congress in
1873, and continues:

views had been correct, he con.

The Prohibition party of Idaho

The Prohibition party of Idaho
has hit upon a novel way to salts
fly its followers. 1t held three
conventions simultaneously; one
at Idaho Falls, one at Moscow
and one at Boise. In South Ida
no paper money was the issue,
in Central Idaho it was bimetal-
lism and in North Idaho it was
gold. The prohibitive cranks
are thus enabled to stand on any
kind of a financial plank. They
got the idea from the two old
political parties, whose leaders
are trained riders on two horses.
