A terrible flood was caused by a
cloudburst in the Canadian valley of
Oklahoma, which caused the loss of
many lives and the obstruction of
about s1,OOO,OOO worth of property.
The town of Guthrie was the greatest
sufferer, every movable thing there
being swept away. The river which
passes through that place has been
very high for some time and when
the cloudburst came the water rose
and swept through the place in a
wave from six to eight feet in height.
The people took to the trees and
every possible place for safety. Sew
eral lives were lost in attempting to
help those in danger. A large num-
ber of the victims of the flood were
colored people. The river is thirty
feet above its level now and the rain
is falling. Everything possible is be-
ing done to relieve the suffering.

The war between Greece and Tur-
key seems to be drawing to close,
as the Turkish army is forcing the
Greek troops back by mere force of
numbers; yet as the territory over
which they are fighting is mountain
Gus and the passes must all be taken
by the Turks before their army can
overun Greece, something may yet
turn up to enable Greece to turn the
tables on her antagonist. 1t is doubt
full if the European powers will allow
Turkey to acquire any more terrific
ry. 1t is claimed that they are ready
to step in and put stop to the war
as soon as they are asked to by either
of the powers, but plucky little
Greece will not ask them for help, pre-
ferring to fight it out alone. The

ence to the end President McKin-
ley's address was a grand eulogy of
the noble man of whom he was speak
ing. He said:
Fellow Citizens.-A great life, dedi-
Gated to the welfare of the nation,
here finds it's earthly coronation.
Even if this day lacked this impress
siveness of ceremony and was devoid
of pageantry it would still be memora-
BILE, because it is the anniversary of
the birth of one of the most famous
and best beloved of American soldi-
ers. Soldier, patriot and citizen.
Almost twelve years have passed
since the heroic vigil ended and the
brave spirit of Ulysses S. Grant fear
lessly took flight. The great heroes
for the most part now no more. Those
remaining grow dearer to US and
from them and the memory of those
who have departed generations yet
unborn will draw their inspiration
and gather strength for patriotic pur-
pose. A great life never dies. Great
deeds are imperishable; great names
immortal.
'sGen. Grants services and charac
ter will continue undiminished in in
fuence and advance in the estimation
of mankind so long as liberty remains
the corner stone of free government
and integrity of life the guarantee of
good citizenship. Faithful and fear
less as a volunteer soldier, intrepid
and invincible as commander-in in chief
of the armies of the Uuion, calm and
confident as president Of reunited
and strengthened nation which his
genius had been instrumental in
achieving, he has our homage and
that of the world, but brilliant as was
his public character, we love him all
the more for his home life and home
ly virtues.
victorious in the work which un-
der divine Providence he was called
upon to do, clothed with almost
limitless power, he was yet one of
the people, patient, patriotic and just.
Success did not disturb the even bal
ance of his mind, while fame was
powerless to swerve him from the
path of duty. Grand as he was In
war, he loved peace, and told the
world that honorable arbitration of
differences was the best hope of civil
ization. 1t is right then that Gen.
Grant should have a memorial COM
mensurate with his greatness, and
that his last resting place should be
the city of his choice to which he was
SO attached in life and of whose ties
he was not forgetful even in death.
'tNew York holds in it's keeping the
precious dust of the silent soldier, but
his achievements, what he and his
brave comrades wrought for man
kind, are in the keeping of seventy
millions of American citizens who
will guard the secret heritage forever
and forevermore."

every point but their bravery could
not save them as the odds were too

there has been creditable abstinence

So our Canadian friends are talking
of an export duty on wood pulp.
They once tried an export duty on
logs. Have they forgotten the con-

if provoked too far is not indisposed
to use it.

The Santiam Mines.

There is every indication Of greater
activity than evel 10 the Santiam min
ing district when spring opens. The
Albany Mining and Milling Co., COM
posed of business men of this city who
have expended some 100000 or $4,000
in developing their properties in the
Quar.zville district, have consummated
deal with w. F. Robertson and
others, of Portland, whereby they have
contracted, leased and bonded to the
Portland company, their mines in
cluding seven claims, a ten stamp
quartz mill, saw mill, engine and min
ing machinery complete and ready for
work. The sum of $1,000 was paid on
the contract yesterday. The Portland
company has, by the terms of the con-
tract, one year in which to complete
the purchase. They also agree to pay
the Albany company 81 per ton for all
ore worked. The total price to be paid
for the mines has net been divulged.
A force of men will be put to work al
ouce placing the machinery, which
has been idle for year or more, IL
readiness for operation, and abou
April lst 1t is announced active worf
will be resumed in these mines.-Al

A counterfeiter Caught.

On Monday, February 10Th, Harold
Marquisee, of Utica, N, Y, was arrest.
ed in Syracuse, N. Y, on a warrant
sworn out by the DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co., charging him with forgery.
On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited photo.engraver in Syracuse,
saying he was the representative of the
DIR. Williams Medicine Co., .,fand ar
ranged for the making of a full set Of
plates for the direction sheets, labels,
etc., of the famous DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Palo People. News Of this
reached the home office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest
when he should return for the plates.
He returned on the 18th, and was ac-
cordingly arrested and placed in Jail in
Syracuse to await examination.
This arrest proved to be an impor-
tant one. In addition to various plum
der, such as medical books, typewriters,
rugs, ETC., found in Marquisee's trunk
when arrested, the police also found
counterfeit coin both in the trunk and
on his person. and in search of his
apartments at Utica found a complete
outfit for counterfeiting, consisting Of
cruclbles, bellows, nickel, lead, bis.
nuth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge, Il charcoal furnace, and several
plaster-of-paris molds. The United
States marshals want him just as soon
as the DR.. Williams Medicine Co. are
through with him, and, no doubt, he
will be sentenced for long period.
In selecting DIR, Williams Pink Pills
for bis connterfeittng operations, he
showed his knowledge of the proprie
tory medicine business; for these pill:
are in such great demand that they
are easily sold at any drug store in the
United States. His scheme was tC
work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at a discount of from
2 per cent to 5 per cent, explaining the
reduced price by the fact that he had
picked them up in small lots and at 6
discount from dealers who were over
stocked By working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured
many hundreds of dollars in a short
time. The proprietors of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are most fortunate to have
caught the rogue, before he had fairly
started, and to have thus kept thes'
spurious goods out Of the market.

A Mail Carriers Experience,
lFrom Albany Herald Mar. l2.l

from Albany Herald Mar. l2,)
The snowstorm, which has contin-
ued In iitful gusts over Oregon for the
past few days, amounted to heavy
snowfall in the mountains, piling up
drifts to enormous depths.
Gerald Heath, who carries the mail
and runs pack train from Gates to
the Lawler mines at Quartzville, had
an experience In the storm which he
would not care to repeat. On Monday
he left Quartzville for Gates with q
pack train of seven horses used In tax.
ing supplies to the mines. He also
had the mail from Anidem which is
the name Of the postoflice at Quartz
ville But little snow comparatively
had fallen at the mines, but when he
reached the summit he found that
furious snowstorm had been raging
and the trail was almost impossible.
To turn back, however, was almost as
dangerous as to proceed. So he con-
IiLued forward. He managed to reach
the half way cabin and spent the
night there. The next day the storm
continued with unabated vigor, and
the trail was buried in places under
Is to 20 feet Of snow. He found it
would be impossible to take his pack
horses further, and after much hard
work he succeeded in getting them to
sheltered place in ravine, where
they. could live. He then made pair
OF snowshoes and started for Gates.
lii the meantime the people at that
place had become alarmed for his
safety and two parties had started on
snowshoes to search for him. Yester-
day morning they met him on the
trail, and returned with him to Gates.
He was nearly exhausted, having
spent three nights in the storm in the
mountains with scant provisions. The
mail carrier is a man of remarkable
nerve and endurance, who has had a
lifelong experience in the mountains
in all sorts of weather, and Is familiar
with the use Of snowshoes, otherwise
he would certainly have perished, as
several others have done in binding
snowstorm in that lonely mountain
pass.
As soon as the storm abates the
horses will be brought out.
