The Fretghs wreck .

The wreck which occurred the other
day near Grants came near proving the
last of Joseph Earhart, or "Bull Run
Joe." as he is familiarly called by train
men. He escaped death it would seem
by miracle. He was hardly aware of
the danger until he was thrown in some
unaccountable way to the tank of the
engine, which sloughing around cast him
in front OF freight car. The freight car
ploughed its way through the sand, roll
ing him along in front of it and almost
burying him. Four cars followed and
piled up on top of him. BE was pulled
out of space so small that seemed inn
possible much smaller man than Joe
could occupy. Though he sustained
some severe bruises, about the face and
body, he fortunately came out with
no broken bones and no serious injury.
Our informant was wrong the other day
in stating this was Earhart's first intro
duction to railway accident, as this
makes the third for him. The fireman
escaped by jumping. The cause of the
wreck was an accumulation of sand on
the track

Locks Complete November 18th.


Colonel J. G. Day says work on the
new lock in the canal at the Cascades is
progressing satisfactorily. The south
wall is completed, and the north wall
will be finished within the time speci-
fed, and the locks will doubtless be
opened by November 18th. Last Sun
day the steamer Sadie B., which had
come down through the locks, and on to
this city, returned to the Cascades and
entered the lower lock. On her way up,
in passing around Sheridan point, just
below the locks, she ran on rock,
which, owing to the river having fallen
three feet since she passed down, was
too near the surface. She had impetus
enough to drive her over the rock, but
plunged her nose well under as she
cleared it. Colonel Day says he will
have anti-friction rollers put on her bot.
tom before he comes down again.-Ore

Mrs. Poorman's missionary work.


Mrs. Martha Poorman is the name of
highly respected old lady who for
years has been doing as much good for
the prohibition cause as it is possible for
her to accomplish. She never tires of
her missionary work, which she propo-
gates in her own way. This is by dis
tributing small tracts, containing brief
articles of her own composition, which
she has caused to be printed in the city.
She has distributed thousands of these
in the past several years. The one
most familiar is the one upon tobacco,
which she gives to everyone che observes
smoking a pipe or chewing tobacco.
Since the campaign has opened she has
attached to this one with -four paste
made of cold water a tract of similar
size. urging the recipient to ''come out
of the old parties to the Lord side, and
vote only for good pure men. who will
make and enforce good laws" The per-
sistence of the old lady in the cause oi
her adoption entities her to great re-
spect, which she undoubtedly receives.

Little Emma Nelson's Find.

Mr.. John Short came up from the Su-
sanville country last night. says the
Milton Eagle, and relates that a short
time ago little Emma Nelson picked up
small piece of quartz while at play on
the hillside above her parents house.
The little tot carried her find to her
mamma and sagely remarked that she
believed it contained gold. Her mamma
laughed at her and thought nothing
more of the matter until evening, when
the father returned home, and Emma
lugged forth her find and exhibited it TO
him. His experienced eye quickly
caught Indications of the precious metal,
and securing a hammer to crush the
quartz, he found on closer examination
that solid bar of gold extended through
the entire piece. Mr.. Nelson separated
the gold from the quartz and cleaned
up $75.
The result of little Emma's find will
be invested in secure place at interest
until she is of age, when the principal
and accruing interest will be given her.
The child mentioned above is the came
who was lost for whole week last July,
in the mountains back of Susanville, of
which village her father is postmaster,
and was found several miles from home
tired and hungry, but uninjured. She
was evidently born under lucky star.

News comes from Butter creek that a
vine is again springing up that has
caused considerable trouble at different
times. 1t is said the seed comes with
the alfalfa seed, which has been pro-
cured from Salt Lake. The popularity
of the weed is that when above the
ground it will leave the root and cling to
any vegetation that may be near, from
whith 1t draws its sustenance.

It is reported that most of the able

arrowheads, such as adorn the primeval
implements of warfare and were clipped
with flint and with feather" says the

! blizzard which swept along the shores oi
the Columbia has uncovered many oi
these arrowheads, and they are supposed
to be especially numerous on the site oi
the old Indian battlefield near Umatilla
In fact, this is about the only place
where the relic-hunter considers il
profitable to turn his attention. Many
arrowheads have been picked up in thit
locality. They are made of flint and are
of various designs and structure.

The Philadelphia American, a paper
published in a sound money city, but
devoted to the cause of free coinage, re
peats, in recent issue, the stale old as
sertion that it is the adoption Of the gold
standard which has caused such mark
ed decline in prices. Without going into
the general question Of the effect which
the quantity Of money in a country has
on the prices Of goods, it is only needful
to point to the fact that prices have fall
en- Just the same In countries on silver
basis as in those using gold. Wheat is
cheaper in America than IL was some
years ago. 1t is also cheaper IN India
and Russia, both silver standard coun-
tries-in fact, it is largely the COMPETE
ton of their low priced wheat which has
brought down the price of American
wheat.
Can The American explain why the
cheap silver of Russia and India has not
kept up prices in those countries? III
using more silver would benefit our
farmers by giving them higher prices,
why has it not done SO where silver is
the only money used? How can we ex-
pect that bushsl Of wheat will buy
more goods, If measured by silver dollars,
when it is found that in countries which
have always had the silver standard
wheat brings no more than in America?
These are questions which the be-
levers in sound money have been asking
ever since the present agitation for free
coinage was started. Is it not about time
that the silverites tried to answer them

The barge Kalkaska ran onto the old
crib OF the tripod at the entrance to Por-
tage river Wednesday morning, and re-
manned there until night. Tugs from the
Sheldon towing company worked at her
all day, but it was finally necessary to
tighten her of most OF her load Of lumber
to release her. The accident is the result
of the neglect OF the lighthouse depart
ment to keep light at this point and
because the ice Of last winter had torn
away the cribwork OF the old tripod.

ing the river is lacking and it takes a

The result of n. f. Leopold's visit here
the past week is the extension of the op
tons on the three mining properties
south of Houghton. the Huron, Isle Roy
ale and Grand Portage, to the last week
in September. The options in the first
place had until June s to run and this
proved too short time in which to at
tend to all the details of so large trans
action as this promises to be. The finan-
cial situation in this country has been so
unsettled that this fact alone prevented
the consummatioD Of the scheme, which
all citizens OF Portage Lake devoutly
hope will come out all right.
Mr.. Leopold said he had no difficulty
in extending the options, for he was able
to make such representations as to the
ultimate success OF the deal as caused the
owners to acquiesce.
