The fve-year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Balance, who live
near Long Creek, met with a terrible
death by burning last Saturday even
ing. Mr.. Balance was away from
home freighting on the road from
Pendleton, and Mrs. 0allance had left
her three daughters, aged respectively
s, 5, and years, at the house while
she went to the barn to rnilk the COWS.
Soon she heard screams, and saw her
eldest daughter running toward her,
crying, "sister is burding up" With
all possible haste the mother rushed
to the house, to find her little daughter
wrapt in flames. She removed its
clothing as rapidly as possible, but not
uatil its hands and body were burned
in most shocking manner, its little
hands being burned almost to a crisp
in its frantic efforts to extinquish tn.
flames. Medical aid was sent for.
and everything possible done to re-
lieve the little ones sufferings, but
Notwithstanding all this, at s o'clock
Sunday morning it died in great agony.
The accident was caused,it is supposed,
by the little one attempting to put
stick of wood in the stove, when its
clothing caught fire.

A Worthy Enterprise.

The lady members of the public
library met at the residence of VIM.
Michel last evening and discussed the
matter of raising funds for the pur-
pose of purchasing suitable number
of reference and standard works.
These books are required in order that
the library may more nearly meet the
needs of the public. 1t is claimed that
the monthly payments bring in suffl-
cient amount for the purchasing of all
worthy late books, but no library is
complete without works of reference
and no person is well read without
perfect familiarity with standard
authors. So to meet this need the
ladies have advised unique plan and
one that promises to be highly success
full. 1t is their purpose to get out the
weekly edition of one of the local
papers to be known as the woman's
edition. The following staff was elect
ed: Editor-in-chief, Mrs. W. n. Mans
field: associate editors, Rose Michel
and Bessie Lang; business manager,
Mrs. A. r. Thompson. The city edi-
tors aud secretary will be chosen by
the staff. This paper will be in every
respect worthy edition comprising
some thirty pages of reading matter

speculated at the Right Place.

Ole Anderson, formerly of Hay
Creek, has had an experience going to
Klondike he will not soon forget. By
hard work and economy he had saved
$500 herding sheep, and when the
Klo ndlke fever permeated she air last
winter be was seized with the mha}ady,
and concluded he was wasting TINS
pursuing the ordinary course of get
ting fortune, SO he would HE away
to Klondike and make fortune dig
ging yellow nuggets from the aurifer-
Gus banks of Yukon. With his 5000
securely sewed in his pocket he start
ed for the land of promised wealth,
but he only got as far as Portland.
There he embarked in thinning" and
he soon mined what wealth he had out
of his pocket and into another's. He
struck Klondike, or rather it struck
him just as it will thousands of others.
though he was fortunate in not get
ting farther than the bounds of civili-
zation before his accumulations van
ished. Thousands of others will get
to Dawson City before they get broke,
and the sufferings they will endure re-
main yet to be told. He may consider
himself fortunate at not having gone
beyond Portland to do his mining"

A Complete Lighting system.

An Eagle Automatic Acetylene
lighting system has been put in the
new ST. Peters church, and apparently
is one of the most complete and mex
peuslve systems for lighting that has
yet been invented. The light is pro-
duced from gas that is generated by an
apparently simple apparatus, by the
action OF water upon carbide, sub
stance made of coal, lime and sulphur.
After the gas is generated it is passed
through two large tanks of water, to
be purified, and the tanks are so ar
ranged that they work automatically
and permit just the amount of gas gen.
Grated that is consumed.
In the entire building there are 80
lights, 25 in the auditorium, four in
the basement and one in the entrance.
Each of these furnishes three times as
much light as 16-candle power elec-
trio burner, and the whole 80 lights
can be run at an expense of less than
25 cents an hour. The system has been
thoroughly tested, and has proven to
be perfect throughout.

CANYON CITY's GOLD MINE


1t Continues to Rival KIondike in Rich
The more development work done in
the Great Northern mine near Canyon
City. the more evident it is that the
''mother lode" of that once rich placer
camp has been found. The Canyon
City news says of the mine:
Wedne sday of last week was the
banner day in the Great Northern
niue near town. The News has
already mentioned the 1872 nugget
taken out in the forenoon of that day.
In the afternoon there was taken out
large quantity of gold that was sack
ed up and not washed. The estimated
value of Wednesdays yield was 81 800.
The nine gallons of snow water that
had been prepared was all used up,
and no gold was washed out on Thurs
day. Fridays washings amounted 20
1928 and some cents, while the yield of
Saturday footed up little over 1898.
On Monday q couple of pans yielded
$3.50, after which the Great Northern's
owner announced a temporary shut
down. A cessation of work in the
Great Northern pay streak at this time
would seem remarkable were the fact
not explained that the pay streak eS
tends downward as we'll as lOngitudin-
ally, and as it is growing richer and
better toward the center of the earth
Mr.. Guker decided to prosecute work
in that direction. To accomplish this
he was compelled to abandon work in
dicular shaft and erect a windlass to
hoist the rich ore as we'll as the rock
to be removed, to the surface. He is
having this work done and in the
mean time the rich seam of wire gold
and nuggets remains covered up from
the gaze of the too curious.
Work is also progressing in the tun-
mel which is being driven in toward
the ledge. R. B. Clayton has charge
of the tunnel, and the boys are making
very good headway. L. Bowen is en-
gagged in burning pit of charcoal. AS
soon as this is finished SO that there
will be plenty of fuel for the black.
smith shop an addition to the tunnel
crew will be made and work will pro-
gress much more rapidly. The length
of the tunnel in order to cross-cut the
ledge will be about $50 feet. Only
about thirty feet of this is completed,
and many rich striugers or seams of
quartz have been encountered already.
1t will take at least thirty days
longer to complete the tunnel, but the
shaft and hoist will be IN readiness for
work to be resumed on the pay seam
at a much earlier date.

Corvallis and Eastern Railroad Company
Issues Bonds

Corvallis and Eastern Railroad Company
Issues Bonds.
Indications are now favorable that
the old Oregon Pacific, which has un-
dergone numerous changes and had
such checkered career, may yet be-
come railroad of some prominence,
though it will be under new name
and management, Mr.. Hammond hav-
ing recently re incorporated the prop
erty under the name of the Corvallis
and the Eastern. The mortgage
for the issuance of the first mortgage
bonds of the company has been filed
for record in Benton county. II bears
the date of January 26, 1898, and is
made in favor of the Central Trust
company, of New York. 1t covers
railroad lines and appurtanences, con-
structed as follows:
Beginning at point on Yaquina
bay and extending to the boundary
line between Oregon and Idaho at or
near Snake river in Malheur county,
and from a suitable point or junction
with said first named line east of the
summit of the Cascade range, in a
southerly direction by some conven-
lent route to the boundary line be-
tween the states of Oregon and Califor-
mia, in klamath or Lake county, to-
gether with l4l miles of telegraph line
from Yaquina to Detroit, and also all
railroad equipment.
The instrument covers all railroad
lines constructed or acquired until
such railway shall amount in the agre-
gate to 750 miles.
The aggregate amount to be issued,
it is stipulated, shall not exceed $11,-
250.000, in frst-mortgage bonds, Of
81 900 each.
When these bonds are fioated Mr..
Hammond will be in position to push
the work of construction toward the
eastern boundary of the state, through
the Prineville country. The palles
has more to fear from this road than
any that is now proposed.
