A COLLAPSE

You remember what tina fanaticaI,
silly Miss Jewett did in regard to the
negro family in South Carolina, the
Bakers She took them to Boston, and
tried to work up a campaign against
lynching, by exhibiting the negroes and
haranguing crowds herself. Her scheme
has met with SO little sympathy that a
lead failure marks the attempt The
New York Sun of 18th September, 1899,
prints a Boston dispatch dated that
day. 1t shows hat the Jewett woman's
wards are in distress, out of food.
patch says:
1.-THE Baker family Of Lake City, S.
c., is in distress in this city. A per-
ona appeal has been issued by Mrs.
Baker in which she asks for aid. She
tells anew the story of the murder of
her husband while he was postmaster
at Lake City, and says that while she
is glad she has come to Boston yet she
is in great distress and misery. Her
rent, it is said, is overdue, and she even
needs food. This apparently marks the
collapse of the various associations
which in the early flush of Boston en-
thusiasm were organized to help this
family along"
Miss Jewett says she has been ex-
pecting such an appeal as Mrs. Baker
has made"
Fanaticism and sympathy at long
range bake no Boston beans, fill no
stomachs, pay no house rents and make
no people happy. We pity the Bakers,
but are disposed to laugh at the crank
who brought them into trouble. She
should support them.

bright man, so bright that we are lost
in wonderment that his brilliance does
shed more light on the trust CUES

runs 10 copiousness. but IL is the copi-
business OF rhetoric. II Informal
ton is what the reader is after. he Will
not find it in Mr.. Cockran's address.
II frequently happens that the rheto-
rician IS able to deal with broad prln-
ciples and apply them in a way to at
tract attention. But this seems TO be
Mr. Cockran's forte. 1t can be
said that Mr.. Cochran touches all sides
OF the trust question. but he never
touches the core OF IT. He refuses to
go TO the roo Of the matter. which is
this-wiu ii be the effect, and is ii the
tendency of the trusts TO crush out all

high on the greediness and stupidity of

The Biggest Thing Yet.

DR.. Oglesby and Bonny Milliorn,
proprietors of the Monarch mine in
Crook county, have undoubtedly the
biggest mining proposition in Oregon.
They have just returned from there,
and the description DIR. Oglesby gives
of it is that it is a perfect mountain of
ore, enough to supply all the quartz
mills in the United States for half a
century. 1t is located on Crooked
river, Is miles above Prineville, aud
instead of being a ledge is mountain
half mile in length and 1900 feet
high. The returns from five assays of
the rock average SO SO free gold to the
ton, which is considered good in view
of the quantity of rock, the ease with
which it ca1 be mined and the good
facilities offered for milling. Messrs.
Oglesby and Milliorn have located
large body of the ground, and also
secured a water right which gives
them the use .of all of Crooked river,
that can be carried in such a manner
as to give fall of 80 feet. This will
supply enough power to drive 200
stamps, and will be one of the cheapest
methods known for operating quar- tz

Cost of Raising Wool.

A great many people imagine that
the expense of running band of sheep
is very slight, and on paper they are
able to figure out immense profits.
This probably accounts for so many
inexperienced men who go into the
sheep business making failure of it
and finding themselves hopelessly
bankrupt at the end of a few years.
One of the successful sheep raisers of
the county, while in conversation with
the Times-Mountaineer reporter the
other day, when asked what the aver
age expense of running sheep in this
locality was, stated that under the
most favorable conditions it would be
Is cents a year head; but the ordi-
nary expenses of running sneep in this
county, that is herding, feeding, doc
toring, taxes and incidental costs, is
about one dollar per head, though if
poorly managed the expenses some
times run to S1.50.
sheep ranch this gen ntleman, who has
about 10000 head, said since last Nd
vember he had used on his ranch $500
pounds of beef, $500 pounds of pork
and bacon and some 40 or SO head of
sheep, making his meat bill something
like $500 for the past six months
Other provisions were consumed in
like proportion, so the cost of feeding
the people on his ranch is something
like S125 a month. In addition to
living expenses are wages to hired
help, taxes, shearing and interest on
his investment which taken all togeth.
er amounts to more than $3.50 a month,
or above IS cents head for the 10000
sheep he runs.

Some 700 people from Portland in
vaded The Dalles Sunday, having
come up On the excursion given by
the Sons of Herman. The train of II

Germans, who had secured the services
of the .. G. & A. G. concert band and
when the train pulled in the guests
were greeted with sweet strains of
music. The local committee took
charge of the people as they got off
the train and conducted them to the
Baldwin opera house, where their
wraps, lunch baskets, ETC., were cared
for, while the visitors dispersed
through the town, where ever their
fancy led them.
During the afternoon, after they had
tired of tramping about town, music
was furnished at the Baldwin, and
dancing was INDUCED in for some
time, both by visitors and residents.
The Portlanders were loud in their
praise of the treatment they received
ct the hands of the German residents
of the city, whose guests they were,
and also of Dalles climate. A more
perfect day could not have been Sc
lected for outdoor sight seeing, the
sky being clear, the temperature just
right and no wind blowing. All ex-
pressed themselves as having spent a
most delightful day, and said they
were so we'll pleased that at some
future time they will again visit the
city. The excursion left here at 6
o'clock in the evening and arrived at
Portland shortly after 9, without an
accident or an incident to mar the
pleasure of the occasion.
