Some eight years ago, leaving four
daughters in Minnesota, Mr.. Johnson
and his son went to Washington, where
they remained three years; then they
decided to try their fortunes in Alaska.
During the first year of their stay in
that country the daughters heard from
them occasionally; then nearly four
years passed with no news from the alb
sent ones, and his daughters had given
them up for dead, when the father re-
turned to his old home having been one
of the lucky men in Alaska.

COL. DOMAIN WHITES IT.
A Pamphlet on Oregon and Washington
to Be Issued by the 0. K. & N.

Col. Pat Donan was here yesterday,
gathering statistics for book which he
will get out for the o. R. & N, showing
the resources of the country. Col. Donan
prepared the copy for a similar work for
the Rio Grande road, the first edition of
which. cost the company $40 900 dollars:
Donan has style all his own. and to
say that it is catchy does not do it
justice, for while the quaintness of his
arguments is always visible, it must not
be lost sight of that there is always
substantial facts behind them. One of
the most startling calculations ever
made was that of Donan's concerning
the unlimited wealth of Salt Lake. He
proved by the analysis OF the water and
the accepted area and depth of the lake,
that the minerals contained in solution
by the waters of Salt Lake would load
train of cars reaching from the earth to
the moon. That its value was greater
than the entire national debt. He also
made the statement which was laughed
at at the time, that in one valley in
Utah was a bed of asphalt in which
cattle stuck like hes in sticky hy-paper.
Yet he was correct.
Above all things Donan is observing.
He noted as a remarkable coincidence
the fact that Moses led the Hebrew
hosts through the wilderness to the Jor-
den, which rises in fresh water lake to
empty into the Dead Sea. That Brigham
Young led his followers across the desert
! and located them just as Moses did, be-
yond the Jordan. The old Jordan flows
from fresh water lake south 20 miles
into the Dead Sea, the new Jordan flows
20 miles north into another dead sea.
Pat Donan left last night for Walla
Walla, and from that point will follow
the o. R. & N. line and branches, and
will write concerning the territory COW
cred by that road. The o. R. & N. de-
serves great deal of credit for securing
the services of Col. Donans' facile pen
to make known in his own inimitable
way the facts concerning this section
of the great West.

HIS BODY CUT in TWO.
An Unknown Man Killed While steal
ing a Ride.

The body of man was found on the
o. r. & N. track between Wallula and
Umatilla Sunday morning by the train
men. The head. shoulders and arms in
one piece were first found and mile
further down the track the remainder of
the body was picked up. The man was
probably stealing ride on the passenger
which backed down the track Saturday
evening to Umatilla, when the accident
that deprived him of his life occurred.
The body was cut in twain Immediately
below the arm pits. There was a fairly
good watch on the remains when found,
but further particulars of the affair
could not be learned today. The name
of the unfortunate could not be obtained.

uncertain method. In Kansas the at
torney-general had commenced proceed

but Judge Randolph said he did not be-

Mr.. O.W. Cook brought to this Office to-
day some specimens of corn grown on his
place on Smile creek that reminds one
of old days back In Illinois. The ears
are about a foot long and are well filed
clear to the tips. We note though that
the cobs are larger and the grains shorter
than on the Eastern corn, but this is
true of all corn grown on the coast. The
specimens brought by Mr.. Cook are way
beyond the average for Oregon.
A man named F. P. Riley has been
trying to stuff the Tacoma papers with
story that he had come back from the
Klondike with $S5 900 in gold, which he
had taken out in a few months, and
which he carried on his back a distance
of 800 miles on the Dalton trail. As $S5-
600 in Klondike gold would weigh about
425 pounds, and as Riley carried that
weight 26 miles day for % days, he is
entitled to the championship as the
greatest pedestrian in America, or else
the greatest liar.
The funeral of the late Mre. Elizabeth
Bolton took place this afternoon at
O'Clock, from the family residence.
Cono tirno o00 Mrs RoItoo bod -

bearers, and requesting that Rev. Wn1.
Michel conduct the services. In COM
pliance with this request, the services
were conducted today. A telegram was
received this morning from Zenas Boil
ton, and, as it was i'm possible for him to
get here today, the funeral, which other
wise would haye been postponed, took
place this afternoon. ~
The hose team is still practicing for
the tournament, though up to date it il
| somewhat of question whether the
tournament will be held or not. so far
Oulv one hose team has signiied its IN
tention to come, and that ls team from
the Fourteenth Infantry at Vancouver.
The old veterans of Portlond will not
come, and Astoria, Pendleton and the

not be present. If The Dalles doesn't
want to pat itself on the back and have
a good social time, it had better let GO

Heavy holders of wheat at Athena

years. and IL rightly managed It win not be
distasteful
Church attendance must be thought of by
the child as pleasure and not as burden
and 1t can be. Instead of saying, now
to-day is Sunday. and you have got to go
to church, let the parent talk in this
strain: Think of what God has done for
you the past week; He has kept you alive
and well, He has enabled your parents to
provide food and clothing for you, and He
has given you many pleasant hours; ought
you not to go TO His house this morning
and thank Him for His goodness to you,and
join in the songs of praise which He loves
to hear you sng?" Appeals like this and
appreciative explanations of the meaning
of the different exercises will touch the
little ones heart; religion will then have
pleasant associations connected with it,
and such children will be very apt to keep
close to Christ all their lives. and develop
wel-rounded characters.
The subject is one that pertains very
closely to the we'll being of future gen.
erations. The Puritan Sunday has been
tried in this country and found wanting.
The European Sunday of license and ut
ter forgetfulness of sanctified day of
quiet rest no thoughtful person will wish
to see take root on American soil. What
we need is a safe mean between these
two extremes. We want the Lords day
to be day of peace and happiness to
the whole household, a sweet remembrance
coming back to the grown-up son or daugh-
ter like a benedction from their parents
ireside-as it is to thousands Of men and
women to-day.
1 plead then, on this "Children's day."
for parents to make Sunday all it should
be - refreshment for body, mind and
spirit Give the children their full share in
it's advantages. Train them up in the way
they should go, and they will not depart
from it, but will ever rejoice and be glad
in the day which the Lord hath made.

GROOMING HEROISM.


But there is a heroism beyond all, for
which no Victoria cross is ever given, be-
cause there is no official enemy nor any
sort of firing, except maybe one volley in
the early morning at some spot where the
noise does not echo. 1t is necessary from
time to time to send unarmed men into
No Mans Land and the Back of Beyond
across the Khudajantakdan mountains.
The understanding is that if the men
come back so much the better for them. If
they do not, and people disappear very
mysteriously at the Back of Beyond, no
questions will be asked.
They tell a tale of one who, many years
ago. strayed into No Mans Land and met
a very amiabe set of people, who asked
him to dinners, and lunches and dances.
All that time he knew, and they knew
that he knew, they were debating whether
they should suffer him to live till next
morning and in what way they should wipe
him out.
The thing that made them hesitate was
that they could not tell from his behavior
whether there were five hundred English
men within a mile OF him or no English
man within five hundred miles of him; and
as things stood they could not we'll go to

words said, to let him go; and when they
had made up their minds they did it very
handsomely.
They gave him a farewell banquet and
drank his health, and he thanked them for
a delightful visit, and they said: so glad
you're glad-au revoir,' and he came away
looking bored.
out that their guest had been given up for
lost by his friends in England and no one
ever expected to see him again Then they
