From the Alaska Gold Field.

Mr.. Lawder is in receipt of letter
from Chris Donovan. who went to
Alaska last year, dated at American
Creek, May Is, in which some idea of
the regions of that latitude and the
hardships to be endured may be gained.
The letter states that on May 10Th the
winter had not yet broke, and snow
covered the ground. During the win
ter the mercury reached So degrees be-
low zero, and the winter set in on
Sept. % last. Mr.. Donovan says the
mines in the vicinity where he is To-
Gated are rich, paying from SOC to $500
to the pan, and claims have been sold
for from $4,000 to $4,000. Wages are

The Yukon River.

As to access into the Clondyke
region, the ultimate expectation must
be that this will be by way of the Yu-
kon, wonderful river of which little
is known except that it is undoubtedly
second on the continent only to the
Mississippi. The head of its delta is
more than 100 miles from the sea, and
its total width at the sea over 20 miles.
Efforts for surveys of the delta of the
river have never come to anything.
but it appears that only one of the
mouths is navigable, and is called the
Kusilvak slough. Its shallowest part
admits of vessels drawing 15 feet.
Above this shallow place there is a
depth of four or FIVE fathoms to the
mouth of Anvik river, 300 miles, and
in general way we know that the
river is navigable for about three
fourths of its 1000 miles of length.
Several of its tributaries are also
navigable.

In a Dilemma.

While other papers bob up and bob
down in Pendleton. the East Oregon
ian pursues the even tenor of its way,
takes all the abuse heaped upon it good
naturedly. and accepts the credit of
everything charged against it. Here
is the way it views the present situa-
alton of the Pendleton press:
The East Oregonian is accused by
the Pendleton Republican of INSTALL
ing one of it's "henchmen" in the Of
fee of the Pendleton Tribune for the
purpose of running it into the ground.
Now comes forward the Penuleton
Tribune, edited and managed by the
gentleman which the Republican refers
to as the East Oregonian's "hench-
man." and intimates that the East Or
egonian is giving support to the PEN
dleton Republican with the view of
doing up the Tribune. Between these
friends and their accusations we are
at loss to know "where We are at"

The Postmaster ar Mitchell Won a Wife by
Being Courteous to Lady Passenger
From the Freeport, ILL.,, Democrat,
of July 10Th, is CLEANED the following
account of a little Western romance
that has no DOUBT ere thiseresulted in
a happy marriage and hasAvon for the
postmaster of Mitchell, Crook county,
an estimable bride:
In the summer of 1891, A. D. Looney,
on his way to the Pacific coast from
Chicago, passed through Freeport on
an Illinois Central train, which was
boarded at the station by number of
school teachers who had been attend
ing a summer normal school. Among
the number was Miss Lena Schlafer.
The car was crowded, and Miss Schla-
fer remained standing when the train
pulled out; Mr.. Looney offered to share
his seat with her. and she accepted
the courtesy with a kindly "thank
you." A conversation followed, dur
ing which the young people discovered
that they had congenial tastes, and
which was made easier by the fact that
Mr.. Looney had also been a teacher in
his native state of Tennessee, and by
the time the young lady's home was
reached they were we'll acquainted.
Mr.. Looney kept the picture of the
pretty, brown.haired girl in his mind
all during his long ride across the con-
tinent, and when he reached his desti-
nation he wrote her, telling of his safe
arrival, aud other things. The girl
replied, and the correspondence begun
in that way has since been continuous.
In due season proposal came in one
of the letters from the west. and as the
young man was appointed postmaster
of Mitchell, Oregon, in 1896, it is prob
able that he himself deposited the i'm
portant missive in the mail bag. and it
is also likely that when the reply came
the people had to wais for their mail
until the government official had read
''yes" or ''no. But the reply was IA
vorable, so after some further exchange
of letters, pictures and that sort of
thing that young people are given to.
a week ago today Mr.. Looney packed
his grip and started east. 1t was ar
ranged that they should meet where
the romance was begun, and last Fri
day he saw his prospective bride for
the first time since he left her stand
ing on the platform at the station in
JoDaviess county six years ago. This
morning County Clerk Held put his
signature and the seal of the county to
their marriage license.

An Unfortunate Acciden.

Thursday morning George Keller,
proprietor of the Oregon Market, was
preparing to seud- his team to the
slaughter house'tor meat, and climbed
on barrel to get meat cover off a
high chest. The barrel slipped from
under him in some manner throwing
him to the floor, and he lit with all his
weight upon his right foot, wrenching
his leg in way that both bones
were broker above the ankle. Mr..
Keller was taken at once to his resi-
dence, where DIR. Doaue reduced the
fracture. and the sufferer was made as
comfortable as circumstances would
permit.
