ONE AT A TIME.

This good story is told by an Eng
lish Snowman who possessed beau
tiful parrot, which excited the adj
miration of the crowd by its capital
imitation of the showman's voice
and tones when inviting the public
to step into the booth.
One day the creature escaped.
Soon a number of men and boys
were on its track, but before they
had gone far they heard a loud noise
caused by the screeching birds in
the wood.
On arriving at the spot whence
the sounds proceeded they found
poor Poll perched on the withered
branch of a tree, bereft of most of
her feathers and surrounded by a
flock of screeching crows that were
mercilessly pecking at her with
their beaks.
In perfect imitation of the show
mans voice, however, the poor bird
kept saying:

PIRATES BURIED GOLD.
Big Treasure Believed to be Hidden
in a Southern Bayou.
New York Herald.

New ork Herald.
Not long ago Mr.. Palmer of Lake
Charles, La, purchased a tract Of
land situated on the south bank Of
English bayou, at its junction with
the Calcasieu. This property is about
three miles from town and is COM
monty known as the English Bayou
Bluffs" To all intents, this gentle
man made the deal simply for pur-
poses of speculation. So it may be
imagined that Mr.. Palmer was over
whelmed by the legend which was
toldlAim- few days ago.
lie was one morning in his Office,
when an old creole came in and in
troduced himself. After few min
or remarks he suddenly inquired if
Mr.. Palmer had not made a deal for
the land lying about the mouth of
the bayou. On being answered in
the affirmative he told this story:
"Along in the first part of this CEN
fury things were rocky in these
parts. There was no town here then
and, with the exception of a few
scattered ranches, the country was
held by the Quelquesho and Choc-
taw Indians. The Calcasieu river,
however, and its tributaries were in
possession of the pirate Lafitte For
years he made this section one of his
hiding places, and a secure one it
was, for once across the bar with his
clipper built schooners he was be-
yond the reach of the average deep
water cruiser. But it is said that on
one occasion his pursuers crossed the
bar and chased him up the river, for
he sailed up as far as English bayou,
and there on these high banks, in
the angle formed by the two streams
he buried 100000 in gold. Then,
going about 200 yards further up the
Calcasieu, he sunk his vessel and
with his men took to the dense
swamps, leaving his pursuers no
clew as to his whereabouts, and they
probably never knew what became
of the vessel or its crew"
Whether this man spoke the truth
or not 1 am unable to say, but in all
probability there is some ground for
the legend. At all events, the story
leaked out, and one morning, before
a week had passed, freshly dug holes
on the bluffs showed that some one
had been prospecting for the lost
gold.
Up the Calcasieu, about a mile
from this spot, there. is a locality
which has always borne a special
charm for the fortune hunter as we'll
as for those in search of ancient le-
gends. AS with the other place,
LATTE is the. hero of the tale, but
the treasure reposes at the bottom of
the river. 1t seems that the pirate
suddenly found himself in tight
place with one of .his vessels. On
board were heaps of costly jewelrv.
diamonds, rubies and pearls, which
h had taken from merchantmen OF
the high seas. Either he had no.
ton Of his own or because lie did
not have time to do otherwise. Laf-
fitte filled one of his cannon with
this fabulous wealth, and sealing it
up, threw it overheard in bend Of
the river.

There is the question ofprotec-

For Oysters at Yaquina.


Mr.. H. D. Mcclure, fish and
game protector, is back from va
quina bay, where he went to make
Investigations in connection with
the proposed planting Of Eastern
oysters. Professor Washburn,
biologist of the state university, has
been taking observations of the
temperature of the Yaquina waters,
its density, and condition of the
bottom, etc., and will do the same
at Coos and Tillamook bays. This
is done in order to decide on the
proper place TO procure the seed
oysters. 1t is supposed that the
reason why so many of the Eastern
oysters planted on this coast do not
propagate is that they have mostly
been brought from the Chesapeake,
or other places South, where the
water is much warmer than on this
coast, and these oysters, when
planted where the water is ten de-
grees or more colder than what they
have been accustomed to, may
flourish and arrive at maturity, but
do not increase. When the tenn
perature of the water, its degree of
saltness, etc., in the bays on the
coast of this state have been de-
termined, steps will be taken to
procure seed oysters from some
point far enough nor,h to suit their
new surroundings.
Mr.. Mcclure finds the area of the
oyster beds at Yaquina limited.
There are about dozen oyster beds
of two acres each, owned by private
parties, and some 20 men are en-
gagged in the oyster business. Out
side the private beds is an area of
some size, where the oysters grow
naturally; but this area is protected
by law and cannot be taken up,
and the oysters on it are used to
stock the private beds. 1t is said
that some years since the output OF
oysters amounted to $40, 900 pei
annum, but great freshet destroy.
ed many Of the oysters, and since
then the output has not been more
than $40, 900.
1t is probable that a carload O
seed oysters will arrive here about
November I, and they will be dis.
tributed among the various places
along the coast which have beer
decided to be suitable for them
AT Yaquina they will be planted or

be protected. If they were plantet
ON the outside beds, they would bt

any size. The area at Yaquina i.

represented as being an enthusi-
astic follower of Mckinley, and an
ardent believer in the St. Louis
platform. He also expresses him.
self as ready and willing to take
the stump in Oregon and tell the
people his views why Mckinley
should be elected and the country
forced absolutely to a single gold
standard.
There is great curiosity exist
ing among the people OF Oregon as
to how Senator Mitchell is going to
gold standard McKinleyism
to them and retain single degree
Of political respect for himself.
There is absolutely no denying or
evading the issue this year. The
fight is not for higher or lower
tariff, but it is..a square fight on the
money question. 1t is battle of
standards whether we are to sink
completely to British gold stand
ard, or whether we are to return to
the money of the constitution, both
silver and gold.
In the battle against the gold
barons and money gamblers for the
past number of years we are free to
confess that there has been no more
vigorous fighter in the United
States senate than Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon. He has been ardent,
vigorous and watchful. At this
distance it appeared that he never
missed an opportunity to attack the
money monopoly. His speeches
have been deep, profound and con-
vincing; his independence and fear
lessnes has been universally ad-
mired. In the expounding and
spreading of the silver propaganda
in the states Of Oregon and Wash
ington, there has been no statesman
more frequently quoted than Sena.
tor Mitchell. His free silver
speeches have been printed and
scattered broadcast over the state
of Oregon, and have made thous-
ands of converts for the white
metal. And all of this has been of
recent occurrence. He cannot plead |
like that idol of Kentucky demo-
cracy, who sold his opinions for a
cabinet Observation-Disclosures his
speeche' for silver were made years
ago, and that conditions have
changed since then. Mitchell's
arguments were made no longer
than the last session of Econgress,
and we really believe that his great
speech upon independent Bimetal-
lism," was one of the best silver
speeches ever made in congress,
and was second only to that great
speech made by the silver-tongued
Bryan in 1898.
The people of Oregon have never
heard or read word from Senator
Mitchell against silver during his
long public life, and it has been
this, as much as anything else that
has held Senator Mitchell up with
the people Of Oregon. So strong
has been his advocacy of free
coinage that an element of the
republican party that also stood for
free coinage in Multnomah county
last June, adopted the name of
Mitchell republicans" to distin-
guish and mark their belief also for
silver.
And now Senator Mitchell is
home and is going to take the stump
for platform that gives the lie to
every one of his utterances upon
the coinage question for the last
ten years. Will he meet the issue
fairly and admit that he was wrong
and the others right, or will he
dodge and eyade and saw that the
