THE MIGHTY YUKON
Proficient in Fish and Prec-
ious Metals.
A GROWING ORDER.
The Ancient Order of United
Workmen Progressing.

The Yukon river rises in the
Rocky mountain range Of British
Columbia, entering Alaska at Ga
deg. north latitude, and pursuing
its course nearly from east to west
across the entire territory, it final
ly empties into Behring strait
through Notion sound. The river
is navigable for 1900 to 1900 miles,
while its entire length is computed
at over 1000 miles, with an aver
age width Of FIVE miles halfth dis
tance from its mouth. There are
several places on the lower Yukon
where one bank is invisible from
the other. 1t is seyenty,five miles
across its five mouths and the inter-
secting deltas. At some places
900 or 700 miles, inland, the river
expands to 20 miles in breadth.
thus forming in the interior, Sc
ries Of connected lakes which ex-
plorers pronounce to be deep and
navigable in all parts. This great
waterway can only be said to have
been partially explored, but those
persevering pioneers who have
made the attempt to unrayel its
mysteries have given US extremely
interesting details Of their expert
ences, all uniting in bearing wit
ness that its banks are rich in fur
bearing animals, and that its wat
ers are stocked with an abundance
of fish, including the aH-pervading
salmon. These valuable fishes fol-
low the same instinct which they
exhibit in other parts Of the world
in their annual pilgrimage Of re-
production; that is, after entering
the rivers mouth, to advance as
far as possible toward its source.
Besides fish and furbearing ami
mails, the region through which the
Yukon flows contains abundant de-
posits Of gold, silver, copper. nickel
and bituminous coal.

onespound bricks Ia little more
than a pound tothe brick wrapped
in specially prepared parchment
paper, put away in cold storage to
wait the order of the epicure who
can afford the luxury of pure,
wholesome butter.
"People often wonder why cream
cry butter retails at so much higher
a price than ranch butter. A peep
into the separator bowl after few
hundred pounds of milk have run
through it, will perhaps be explain
alton sufficient for this fact. The
material that is removed from the
milk, instead of going into the
cream, as is the case when the
cream rises of its. own accord, is
here left sticking to the separator
bowl and very readily accounts for
the inferior keeping qualities and
peculiar flavor in ordinary butter.
In making cheese nowadays it is
customary to run the milk through
the separator for the sole purpose
of removing from it some very un-
desirable materials that it may
contain. A word about the work
of the separator, may not be out Of
place. In ordinary cream raising,
even under good conditions, there
is left in the skim milk on an
average, of about 25-100 of one per
cent. of fat, or about one pound in
16 of the fat is lost. BY the use of
this separator, less than lilo of one
per cent. of fat is left in the milk,
the loss being not more than one
pound in so of fat. A great saving
is thus effected by the use of the
separator. The power for running
the separator, churn and butter
worker, is furnished by means of a
steam engine, which is situated in
room set apart for that purpose
on the east side of the main build
ing.
The above article is very COM
prehensive as to the method of
making creamery butter, and the
different machines, and apparatus
necessary to establish a creamery.

probable Erect upon the EaTth OF
Such an Occurrence.
In the opinion OF. Professor
Arthur Searle, of the Harvard OBJ
servatory, the Perrine comet has
passed the node nearest to the
earth, and is even now moving
awar in a northerly direction.
An astronomer who has made a
special study of comets, says:
IA collision between q nucleus
of a large comet and the earth
might be q very serious matter.
If, as Professor Newcomb and
Others have supposed, the nucleus
is a solid body Of metallic density,
the effect where the comet struck
would be terrific.
Sat the first contact in the up
per regions of the air the whole
heavens would be illuminated with
a resplendence of Thousand suns,
producing light that would blind
every eye and a heat that would
melt the hardest rocks. This
would only last during the few
seconds that the comet was passing
through the earth's atmosphere,
and when the actual collision of
solid bodies occurred everything
would be reduced to a fiery yapor
and buried miles deep ia the solid
earth
''It is the small size of this SEEM
ingly big world of ours when COM

bullet fred at random toward the
sky would be as likely to bring

to touch our earth.
There might be danger If a
comet fell into the sun and in
creased its heat for a time TO such
degree that the earth would be
parched and shriyeled by it.
'If comet having 2 mass equal
to one millionth of the earth's mass
we're to strike the sun with velo-
city of 400 miles second it would
generate about as much heat as
the sun gives US in eight or nine
hours. If it we're all given off in
one hour harm would, of course,
follow.
"There would probably be a

face when the cometary particles

How Ae Astonished Them.


A Walla Walla paper tells a
good one on a farmer friend. It
says: "An old settler, living not
many miles from Walla Walla,
who is not famous for his neat per-
sonal appearance, expected Soc
ial gathering at his home a few
days ago, and thought he would
astonish his family and friends by
appearing in a new outfit.
While in town he purchased a
new suit, and on the road home he
stopped by the riverside and pulled
off first one piece of his old duds
and then another, throwing the
discarded garments into the river.
Bidding his long cherished habili-
ments a sad and lingering farewell
as they foated down the stream in
the unfamiliar element, he turned
to his wagon to get his new clothes
but they were missing, having evil
IDENTIFY fallen out somewhere along
the road. Our old timer now rele-
gated to his primitive state of SIM
plicity was in a dilemma, but he
put whip to his team and arrive at
his home nearly frozen. His ap-
pearance really did astonish his
family and assembled guests. He
made a sneak to an outbuilding
where he doned a suit belonging to
the hired man and soon "Richard
was himself again." The next
morning he found the bundle Of
new clothes hanging on the break
beam of his wagon"

AS the complaint alleges that
the legislative act authorizing the
board of building commissioners 10
locate a site for q branch insane
asylum in Lastern Oregon, and to
purchase in the name of the state
not less than 800, or more than
GAO acres Of land for such purpose,
is in contravention of section 3,
article ID, of the state constitution;
that the board Of building commits
sioners, comprising the governor,
secretary of state and treasurer,
has contracted in the name of the
state Of Oregon for tract of about
600 acres of land in Union county,
Eastern Oregon, more than 200
miles from the seat OF government;
that in payment thereof the secre-
tary of the state has, in contraven-
tion Of the state constitution, issued
a warrant for $4,000, upon the de-
fendent treasurer, who threatens
and is about to pay the same ont
of the state treasury; that the
money about to be paid is the
money Of the plaintiff, raised by
taxation, and If its payment is per-
mitted will be contrary to law and
thereby lost to the plaintiff, and
greatly increasing the burden Of
taxation.
Upon these representations,
Judge Hewitt granted an order
restraining Treasurer Metschan
from paying the order, or any part
thereof, and the summons was
served on Mr.. Metschan today.
The warrant is numbered 9372, is
for $25, 900, and was issued Decem-
Der /, 1894. 1t was presented to
the treasurer and endorsed, Not
paid for want of funds" about the
same date, and has therefore drawn

County Help.
PAYMENT IS STOPPED.
Another Injunction Issued in
the Asylum Case.

Portland, Oregon, March 8, 1896.
TO the People; The Pacific
Northwest immigration Board has
been established for the purpose Of
bringing to the Pacific Northwest
such class Of producers as shall
tend to develop its resources and
increase its prosperity, and to that
end has, thus far, been provided
by the citizens Of Portland with a
fund Of $50, 0,000--a fund which it is
hoped to largely increase BY con-
tributions from other sources.
The board expects to be able to
effectively carry on the work Of
bringing in settlers from the East,
but it will be impossible for it to
have its own agents in every county
and precinct to attend to the To-
eating of these settlers, and this
part of the work must be doEe, in
each case, by the residents who are
interested in each special section,
and to this end local organizations
must be established in each county
in order that the best results may
be obtained and that each county
may reap its full share Of the
general benefit.
1t being impossible for central
board to attend to locating in SO
large section Of the country, the
work Of this board will be limited
to advertising, as widely as possible
the advantages which this country,
as whole, has to offer; and to in
teresting the largest possible num-
Der of the producing classes Of the
East, and especially farmers, in it.
Each enquirer will be supplied with
an accurate, though brief descrip-
ton Of all the different sections,
and allowed to make his own
choice Of the second which he pre-
fers. Havirg made this choice he
will be turned over to the local
board Of that section to be directed
to and supplied with exactly what
he wants.
The board has been organized
and supplied with funds, not for
the purpose Of booming any town
or city, or promoting any private
interest whatsoever, but for the
sole and only purpose of promoting
the general settlement and develop
ment Of the country at large, q
work in which every section has a
! vital interest, and which should be
sided to the fullest extent in theil
power by the people of each section
The most effective means for eacl
section to aid in the general worl
is by making itself as we'll knowr
as possible, and by exerting itsel
to secure as large ashare as possible
of the new corners.
1t is difficult to gay exactly whel
the Eastern work will begin Il
bear fruit We have reason to be
lieve that we will not have long L
wait for considerable results, TIL
local organizations should b
formed at once and perfect thei
preparations. II is the purpose 0

responsible agent, visit each count.
