Oregon omciaI Roster

One of the most unique publications
ever issued is the Oregon Official Ros-
ter, containing the names of the
officers and men of the Second Oregon
regiment, now in Philippine islands.
1t is the purpose of the publisher, Mrs.
Amelia de F. Smith, to supply enc of
the books to each member of the regi-
ment, and the Emergency corps OF The
Dalles have taken the matter in hand
of supplying the book to the soldiers
who enlisted from The Dalies. In this
noble work they will probably require
some financial assistance, which will
of course be forthcoming at once, for
everybody will consider it privilege
to subscribe to this fund. The Oregon
Roster, with the addenda containing
names of the 3I3 recruits, is now COM
plete, and it is pride to Oregon that
it is the only official roster of the kind
published in any state of the union.

Look Out for Him.

A few days since a young man named
Harry Patterson skipped out from The
Dalles, leaving number of debts un-
paid. He was comparative stranger
in the city but during his residence of
about month in The Dalles, made
himself quite conspicuous. He pre-
tended to be quite religious, and took
active interest in the Baptist church.
He was of pleasing address and secured
a situation as stenographer with a
business firm. but never got quite
ready to go to work. He had happy
faculty of being siezed with severe
fit whenever occasion required. Pat
terson is said to have worked sort of
confidence game wherever he has
been, borrowing few dollars here and
there and getting few weeks board
at different boarding houses. He is
supposed to have gone either to Pen
dleton or Walla Walla and people
there had as we'll move him along.

CHEERFUL KLoNDIKE LIARS.
They Misrepresent the Riches of the
Northern Mines.

Northern Mines.
The following is from the Portland
Telegram, and shows some of the
methods that have been adopted to
attract the unsophisticated to Alaska
in search OF hidden treasures, by indi-
rect statements concerning the rich
ness of the mines, or rather the amount
| of money that comes from them:
Thomas r. Strong returned last
evening on the steamer Rosalie, from
a visit to Skagway and Dyea. He says
that the reported gold receipts at
Seattle from the north are not only
greatly exaggerated, but absurd.
On the steamer on which he return
ed there was large number of miners
whose aggregate gold did not amount
to more than 100000.
zone man had S3O,0O0," remarked
Mr. Strong. "a second, $4,000, the
rest smaller sums. l gained this in
formation from the miners themselves,
and others well informed as to the
amount OF treasure aboard.
when we landed at Seattle re-
porter of the leading paper boarded
our steamer, seeking treasure news
from the purser. l am confident that
he must have obtained the same figures
am giving you. Yet. on the succeed
ing day bis paper came out crediting
the $4,000 man with $780, 600: the
possessor of the S25, 900 was credited
with S250,0G0 and the total treasure
aboard was printed as being 81, ,5OO,-
OOO."
Mr.. Strong conversei with umber |
of quite intelligent returning miners,
all of whom stated that, so far. the |
real mining district discovered is COM !
small. Ten men are rush |
ing there where there is work but for
One.
Business in Skagway and Dyea was
lull while he was there; but the
5kagway traders were hopeful for bet
jer times. The new railroad is three
niles out from Skagway and before he
eft the first locomotive traversed it.
Many. however, express doubts as to
he possibility of its getting over the
'ass, owing to seemingly insuperable
latural obstacles.
Dyea is very dull. despite the fact
hat most of the interior travel goes
ver its path. From Dyea to the
canadian line there now are frst-class
Dads and tramways; but from there
migrants are compelled to travel and !
ack as best they can. The Canadian 7
olice will not permit the extension of
american tramways through their
erritory.

NORTHWEST NOTES.

Several large wheat fields were
burned near Pendelton and Athena
last Tuesday.
Farmers and gardeners about
Pendleton are making it warm for
watermelon thieves. Four youngsters
haYe been arrested for appropriating
melons, and warrants are out for the
arrest of several more.
There is general complaint of
| scarcity of water all over Eastern
Oregon and Washington. Wells and
springs that formerly gave abundant
supplies have gone almost dry.
An insane man at Pendleton has
more patriotism than the ordinary
citizen of sane mind. He insists that
he be skined alive, and recovered with
the skin of mountain goot, dyed red,
white and blue.
The Union wooden mill at La
Grand is liable to be closed down
owing to a scarcity of wool. Wool
growers are holding their clips for
higher prices.
Over 200 newspaper men have
signifed their intention of being pres
ent at the meeting of the Oregon and
Washington State Press Association,
to be held in Spokane, August 25, 26
and 27. About one third of this num-

The Western Warehouse Company
is building a warehouse 500x44 feet at
Dayton, to take the place of the ware-
houses destroyed by fire. The new
warehous will hold 225,0OO bushels.
At a mass meeting of Baker City
people Monday evening, steps were
taken to reorganize the fire depart

rolled. The new department will
have five companies.
A woman living near Woodville,
Jackson county, last week gave birth
to daughter, who has but one hand.
The mother was. considerably shocked
some months ago by a hunting accid-
ent, which almost deprived neighbor
of one of his hands.
Coroner Norman's investigation
into the suicide of George Butler
the Harrisburg saloonkeeper, dis
closed that Butler fired two shots
at his head, but he being a nervous
man the bullets missed the mark
and pierced the rim of his hat.
Butler then pocketed the revolver
and, rushing to the river, put his
head under snag and held it there
until he suffocated.

A Happy idea.

1t was indeed happy thought ot
Madame Amelia de F. Smith to supply
each of the 1850 brave boys who com.
pose the Second Regiment Oregon vol
unteers with copy of the Oregon
Official Roster and to permit the cit
liens of the state to make the prosen-
Uation. She has generously placed
the price of the Roster for this pur-
pose at 25 cents copy, and it is ex-
pected that each vicinity that sent a
company or troops of soldiers will dom
ate the amount necessary, however
this is not compulsory for the books
will be supplied, even if Mrs. Smith
has to donate them herself. The
books for this purpose will be sealed
with a gold seal, and delivered to Gen.
eral Beebe at Salem, awaiting the
orders of the soldiers, after which the
seal will be broken and no other
copies of the roster in this style can
be had.
The Dalles sent tifty-seven soldiers
to the front, and to supply each
of them with copy of the roster will
require an outlay of S16.25. The local
Emergency Corps has pledged the pay
ment of one third of this amount, and
the remainder is expected to be raised
by donation. Miss Lang at the land
office. Miss Cushing, at Pease & Mays
store and Miss Annie Stubling
have lists for subscription to the
fund. The rosters for the soldiers
may be addressed by friends by calling
at Mrs. Phillips millinery store.

THE AMERICAN NAVY.

Its Accomplishments Have Blazed tho Way
for Better Naval Construction.
In modern naval affairs the Ameri.
can navy since the beginning of actual
hostilities with Spain has served in
the capacity of schoolteacher to the
rest of creation, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. Every European ma
tlon has closely studied the work of
the American navy, and proof is not
lacking that they are profitating by
what they have learned.
The record-breaking run of the bat
tleship Oregon showed Russia that her
own naval architecture was not up to
date, and the builder of the Oregon is
now in St. Petersburg, by royal invi-
tation, to discuss plans for revolution
izing the Russian ships.
The speed performances of the
Brooklyn and the Oregon in overhaul
ing the Cristobal Colon emphasized
the Importance of high speed in effect.
i've fighting ships. Japan is now re-
vising her plans and expects shortly to
have the fastest cruisers afoat.
The destruction of Ceryera's squad
ron has doomed wood in the construc-
tion of war ships. Italy has issued an
order that wood must not be useG in
several warships now in process of
construction, and has suspended work
upon them until revised plans can be
made.
England announces that henceforth
in the construction of her battieships
speed will not be sacrificed in order to
protect them with heavy armor. This
conclusion undoubtedly resulted from
the fact the armor of Cervera's ships
furnished little protection, since it was
easily penetrated by 6-inch and S-inch
shells.
A cablegram says that the new cruis-
ers soon to be launched by France will
carry no guns of extremely large cali
Der, but will have an increased num-
ber of rapid fire guns of small dimen-
sions. This is directly in line with
the recommendation of Dewey, Samp-
son and Schley.
Unless al, indications are mislead
ing the American navy has blazed the
way for advanced naval construction
the world for many years
to come.
