Against Chance Games.

EDIroR DRNocRAr:
Your artiUl' in onday's daily telling
oil a new marble game for boys impels
me to express my opinion for. the dis
couragement OF such games. or any other
game OF chance wherein the PLAYERS
try to get something for nothing. Play.
ing such games tends to teach c',ild to
gam BILE. The common game of "keeps''
orght to be suppressed by parents and
teachers. There are plenty other games
that will amuse children just 40 well. A
boy starting out IN the mornins with a
dozen or two OF mables and lose them all
in a day or two cannot be perfectly hap
py. and is 10th TO let his parents know
the fact, whereas ii some in ocent games
We're PLAYED he would with JOY in his
lace tell his parents OF the sport he had
with his playmates. These simple les
sons OF moral ethics are easily impressed
on child and should not be lost sight
OF for the good OF the coming genera
tons PAryRFAnII.s
The ideas of the correspondent are ex-
ceiient. The DE2ocRAr copied the item
on account of its oddity and with no in-
tention OF endorsing il.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFoRSTA FIa SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known TO be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectGally,
dispelling colds, headaches and feverS
gently vet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys.
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used. as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRur
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

A Dawson Letter.

Louis Parker writes to his brother
Hiram Of his recent rich strike near Daw-
son as follows:
We are working three shafts now and
will until spring. One is lay on which
we get one half of all gold. When / got
the shaft to bedrock that am working
on we didn't strike anything to amount
to much, so Tom Wolcott threw up the
lay. He was working with me. John
Roberts of Lebanon took his place. We
drifted three or four feet and struck as
high as $3.50 to the pan and later when
We got to the center of the pay streak
got $5.47 to the pan. Next day | got
$3.50 in one pan and picked up a nugget
Of s.. AS. 1t is the richest dirt / have
ever seen. Roberts and I have taken
out an average of one hundred buckets
OF ak pans to the bucket for five weeks.
OF course there is gold in all OF the
dirt but the richest dirt is on and in bed
rock, although got 90 cents So feet
above bedrock.
The shaft Ferguson aud Nickerson are
working, the one We sunk last summer,
has all proven good. Owen McMahan,
whowanted some grub money rocked out
50 pans and got $3.50. Taere must be
several thousand dollars in that dump.
Joseph Girard who owns the claim be-
low ours worked ON the creek last winter
and took out $6, 900. and claim it is six
times better than last winters. We are
sure to come out with a few thousand
each, although we will be to considerable
expense putting in a fiume, which will
take 5000 feet of lumber at $500 per
thousand. We think we will be able 10
leave next August or September.
In the spring wash out we will get
some fine nuggets. Tell Winfield will
bring him enough nuggets to make him
q watch chain. Every thing is working
fine. We all intend to come out by the
river route. Have heard nothing from
hcme since Aug. 26. Zen Parrish said
he was going to start out about the first
of March without making his expenses.
We have q new commissioner who de.
cides that my right to my claim cannot
be contested, and will get my final pa
pers the 2lst of March. An attempt to
get my claim was only bluff. II was
very cold for five weeks. The sun disap-
appeared about Thanksgiving and came
out on January 9.
Mr.. Sanborn, OF Albina will carry this
out for me.
