A New Sugar.

The latest thing we have heard of,
says the Athena Press, was sprung by
a man living near Weston. He has
been tapping box elder trees and
making maple sugar from the sap.
We rather think that overlays any
thing sprung so far this season. We
can expect to hear next of an ice
factory making ice fro the pure,
clean water furnished by a watch
spring or learn Of some honest farmer
starting dairy with the products of
the wilkweed. There is no limit to
what can be done in Oregon. The man
ufacture of pure Vermont maple s1 gar
from the sap of box elder treesmay be-
come one of the leading industries of
the state in future years. fSomething,
too, might be done by an inventive
genius in the way of making cloth
from cotton@ood trees. There is no
limit to what can be accomplished
here by Intelligent effort, although
we have not had time As yet to study
out any plan to utilize the tumble
weed.

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
A SeYen-Foot Vein .f Coal Underly ing
The Dallrs.

A SeYen-Foot Vein sf Coal Underly ing
The DaIlrs.
While drilling for artesian water at
his brewery in this CRY, Mr.. A. Buch-
Ter has made discovery that is liable
tn prove of great, value than half a
dozen artesian wells. At the depth of
seventy feet vein of coal was dis
covered. The coal lies under a solid
formation and below it is granite. At
the point where the drill past through
it the vein was seven feet in thickness,
and the coal is of a good quality. Mr..
Buchler intends drilling deeper with
the hope of yet striking water, and
possibly another layer of coal. AS to
what steps he will pursue to develope
the coal vein, ne has not yet. de-
termined, but he considers the find too
valuable to allow it to remain unpros-
pected. .-.-.
Should this vein prove extensive,
The Dalles is just verging on the eve
of an era of prosperity never before
known. A good coal mine here would
mean more for the place than
the developing of any one other
industry. 1t would open up avenues
of traue that have never before been
thought of. With an abundant supply
of coal right in the city, The Dalles
could not but become the great manu-
featuring center of the Northwest, be-
sides the fuel for the treeless regions
east of here would be supplied from
The Dalles coal mines, and in a short
time this would become the liveliest
city on the coast.

An Interesting Lecture.

On Tuesday evening the Methodist

number on the outside, to hear the
temperance lecture by Mrs. Narcissa
White Kinney. This talanted lady
meets with a cordial reception from all
classes everywhere. She, has pleas

ances, finds no place or nece.sity for
abuse of anyone in her lectures and
is always accorded respectful hearing.
In short, the lecture was one of the

A Boy Wins a Suit.

In Massachusetts, boy brought suit
for damages because he had been ex-
PEELED from public school and his
teacher and the school committee re-
fused to admit him unless he would
apologize for being disrespectful and
promise not to do so again. He
secured damages, and the defendants
appealed on the ground that he had
no right to bring such a suit, but the
supreme court of the state has decided
that he can bring it, and gave it as
its opinion that ordinarily the teach
er's word is law, but that he may not
declare finally whether an act on the
part of pupil is or is not disresp sctful.
The small6oy, in Massachusetts, seem
as if he proposed to be mora aggres-
sive than the new woman.

Grant County Mines.

The Eagle of Long Creek says: J. J..
Cozart, who has visited the Quartz
burg mining district, states that he
was convinced that Quartzburg,
Grant county, possessed camp equal
in richness 10 any in the world. In
every instance where the ledges near
width, they widened out to as many
feet as sufficient depth was attained.
While there is some need of capital at
present he thinks it only matter OF a
short period until plenty of wealth will
find its way in there. for in a camp
where the miners can make wages
crushing out the yellow metal by hand
It's future is assured.

A Silent Warming.

The accident that occurred at Una
tilla last Monday, in which little
boy fell under the cars and was killed
is just such an accident as is liable to
happen in this city at any time, and
should serve q, silent warning to
both children and parents ere its re-
petition here shall bring sadness to
some home. There are number of
small boys who persist in playing
around the railroad yards, and they
will not heed the kindly warnings of
railroad employees that they are in
danger. Some vigorous measure
should be adopted to stop the practice.
since repeated warnings are of no
avail. 1t would be better if some of
these youngsters were to spend a few
hours in Jail occasionally, if they will
desist in no other way, than to be the
cause of deeper grief which is certain
to come sooner or later if the present
practice is continued.

figured in it or not is mystery. 1t
happened about midnight. When they
retired small stand table stood quite
close to the head of the bed, and on it
stood lamp. About midnight they
were awakened by crash, and when
the candle was lighted the stand table
stood in the middle of the room, and
the lamp that had been on it was
smashed in pieces, and with the oil
was scattered on the floor near the
head of the bed. The house was
searched, but neither a burglar nor
any signs of burglar were found.
