ON THE "CLARA NEVADA"
E. T. Holgate and Jesse Will
kins Among the Lost of the
Recent Alaskan Wreck.

In all probability, two young Esen we'll
known in Corvallis and former residents
of the town, met their death in the
waters of Alaska, by the burning of the
steamer Clara Nevada, February 5th, one
day cut from Skagway, bound south.
The wreck of the vessel has been fully
established, and it is hardly possible that
any on board of Aer survived. Latest
information teads to confirm the belief
that !Iolsate and Wilkins were among
the passengers.
They eft Portland together Ola the Or
eeon, intending to engage in business in
Alaska, and arrived i'll Sk.gway Febru-
ary 1st Finaing that place overcrowded
they wrote to their wives that they were
gong back to Fort Wransle and direct
ing t!:at their Elail he se:t them there.
They were seen to board the Clara Ne
vada just before she left the Skagway
wharf and as no word has been received
from thsin since the disaster, it is almost
certain that both were lost.
Ed T. Holgate was the son of Judge E.
Holgate of this city. and ON the 10Th of
July would Se 2e years old. He was
born in Corvallis and lived here until
about 10 years ago. He Was for sonic
time Western Union telegraph operator
at Corvallis. After years as an operator lis
eastern Oregoa he was employed as
book keeper in the first national bank of
E asst Portland, and upoh that institution
going out of business, ill partnership
with II. H. Eewhall, hc started the
Fast Side bank. The Oregenian states:
"He Was married to Miss Winniford Cole
about two years ago and had oHe daugll-
ter. He will leave-bcsides much other
pr@perty-in insurance to his wife and
child, S4,5oo. lie was past master of
Hawthorne ledge No. III, "A. +. & A. NJ.
and was a very popular young Inan."
Jesse r. Wilkins Came to Corvallis
when a boy, with his pareAts, and grew
TO manhood here. He graduated from
the o. A. G. with the class of 'SS. For
several years he has conducted the Os-
burn hotel i'll East Portland He Was
brother of S. n. Wilkins, and his wife,
who is now in Wilbur, Washington, is
daughter of Mrs. MeCestla.d, a resident
of Corvallis.
Both young men have many friends in
Corvallis who hope that later develop
me2ts will prove that fortune will be
more kind to them than present tidings
indicate.

Sounds From the North.

SKAGWAY, ALASKA. Feb. S, 'oS.
ED. GAzETTE:-This town is badly
overcrowded and cabins are built out
FROM the business center of the burg fer
two miles or moIe. 1t is almost iApos-
sible to secure ground OIL which to pitch
tent. The latest Corvallis delegation,
A. w. Rose, c. Schmidt. Grover Head
rick, Brady Burnett, Will Schmidt and
Geo. Ro:e, have a small house rented
and the boys are now looking over the
field.
TIE ''house" is but ca bin, I2xI4
feet. and rents for II per day. Real es-
tate is rated SO high that new conner,
a:king the price, would imagine every
lot was gold milne. There are rAany
lots that $1,000 would cot begin to
touch. Herr Schmidt has bought off his
renter and is again in possession of his
hotel. Mr.. Rose is to open his cigar
store therein, and a real estate Office,
with the frm name of Schmidt & Bur
nett" may have its headquarters there.
Pat Kelsay and Billy Harmon ere
here. Ed Holgate and Jesse wilkins
are in Skagway, but say that they are
going back to Wrangle. 1.-THE Clara
Nevada sailed the day this letter was
written.-ED.
Very few people are trying to get into
Dawson at present, which fact accounts
for the scarcity of work. Their is very
little lumber, but Large shipments are ex-
pected to arrive i'll few days. 1t has
been two weeks since any mail has ar.
rived.
The town, of course, is full of saloons
and gamblers.
The day that the Oregon arrived was
the coldest of the season-about zero
with a gale blowing. It has been sone
warmer since then, and the Thermometer
is now abent IS degrees above the cipher
mark. We have daily paper, the
Morn ing Alaskan-snall in size but
lar ge i'll price, selling for 10 cents copy.
Since we arrived one shooting scrape has
occurred, in Which two men were killed,
but things are quiet now.
H:rdly a day passes without the ar
rival of one or more vessels loaded with
passengers and freight. Three tons Of
hay sold for $I25 per ton few days ago,
bat since the Oregon brought up lot of
it, the price is now about $50 per ton.
Meals can be obtained for so cents, and
hunks at the same figure.
Nearly every one here is blessed with
a cold. Hardly a day passes without a
funeral, and in most cases the chief actor
is a victim of Jack Frost, ON the trail.
There is Il strong rivalry between this
place and Dyea, and there will be plenty
of business for both. Each town i: ini
proving the respective trails over the
mountains, which furnishes employment
to a number of men.
Every returning steamer carries back
raany sick gold seekers.

ODE TO MONROE.
Hast ever been in old Monroe,
Where rolls the Long Tom down,
And four strong horses scarce can draw
An empty wagon through the town;
Where muddy waters rise and swell
With fearful and resistlcss might;
Where fish are caught by sense of smell,
Because thev cannot see 20 bite;
Where fragrant odors from pig-pens,
Go whirling through the air;
Where dead and dying serubby hens
Are lying every where;
Where wl,iskey shops the live-1eng night
Vend out their horrid juice;
Where men are often very tight,
And sidewalks very loose;
Where LAGER beer has all the run,
And boozy scrappers come TO trade;
Where e, erything is overdone
And everybody under paid?
If not, take heed to what say;
Yon'll find it just as have found;
And if it lies upon your way.
For Gods sake, stranger, go around.

Has Faith In Bare Hills.

''rhe mining camp of Bare Hills,
about which little is known, is enjoy
ing healthy growth bordering upon
boom, according to one of its citi-
zens, J. H Clark, who resistered last
night at the Oxford says the Denver
News. "The camp is but two years
old and has 300 prospectors. 1t is
18 miles from Cripple Creek, reached
by stage. The ore is mostly gold,
said Mr.. Clark, and of good grade.
We are not saying much but recent
strikes all over the camp have given
us considerable faith in its future.
The first mill to be erected upon the
ground will be completed by the 10th
of this month by St. Louis capitalists,
and will have a fifty-ton capacity.
Shipments will then commence upon
good scale.'"

Monday night the Epworth League
of the Methodist church, some fifty
strong, gathered at the parsonage
and proceeded to take possession with
out permission from Rev. Chase or
his estimable wife. But they seemed
to enjoy the invasion and politely
turned the premises over to the new
comers who set about arranging for
a regular good time. They had it.
A select literary and musical program
went far toward securing it, but the
best part of all was a speech by ]. F.
Kaye, the newly elected president of
the League, who did himself proud,
and called out response from the
pastor that was really eloquent. The
pastor and his wife were presented
with a beautiful eight-day clock and
handsome fruit dish by their admir-
ing Leaguers, which of course was
only small matter compared with
the pleasures of the evening.
