To Save Cape Nome Gold.

The gold of Cape Nome is exciting
the passions of many. Not only will
there be a wild rush to that bleak bit
of Alaskan coast in the early spring,
hut the wits of many shrewd Yankee
will be applied TO the invention of ways
and means of more quickly extracting
from the golden sand its wealth of yell
Inv treasure. Two Butte mining en-
,jneers, says the Spokane Review, have
patented an invention by means of
which they hope to leap quickly to for
times. The men are Gust A. Overstrom
and J. p. Hanson. The invention is a
pump dredge. The theory Is that the
gold in the Cape Nome beach is washed
in from the ocean. Evidently there is
gold under the water as we'll as on the
beach and it is this gold under the
waves that the Butte men are after.
Briefly stated, their scheme is to
plant small dynamo on the beach
with traction engine. The dynamo
will be connected with an air-tight cen.
trifugal pump which will be placed
upon the sandy floor of tho beach out
beyond the low tide line. This pump
is expected to pump up the gold bear
ing sand and to convey it to the beach
through steel pipe into sluice box.
An Ingenious arrangement of pulleys,
with the ability to shorten Or lengthen
the delivery pipe makes it possible to
move the pump around over the ocean
aDor and to operate over large terri
tory The machinery Is planned to be
50 compactly builtthat it can be packed
up and carried along the beach to new
dgyingS by the traction engine when
desired.
E. +. Peterson of Butte was in the
city yerterday with plans for this ina.
chinery. He aud Mr.. Hanson are going
to Cape Nome ia the early spring to in.
stall the plant. As the beach under
the water Is not subject to location the
Bltte men believe that they may
drelge up the sand wherever they like
and no one may question their title to
all the gold they can save.-Westerr

Coaiti,ns at Nome.

The conditions bstween capital and
labor at Cape Noms are peculiar. The
bach digyers claim that the tranIpor-
tatiol companies which own the miueS
on the higher slopes are trying to get
congress to give them possession of the
beach. The tide sands, up to 10 feet
above high water mark. may not be
taken up for ordinary claims. The
United States authorities have been
giving them out to all comers at the
rate of 80 feet to the man; this has
made possible the state nent that
Nome is "poor mans camp" This
condition of affairs has resulted in a
great scarcity OF labor. No one wants
to work by the day as hired miner
when he can make more money Grad
ling for him self on the beach Conse-
qnently, the companies are said to be
playing for the beach in order that the
diggers may be thrown on the labor
market.--Alaska Miner.

and giving good satisfaction to
its patrons.
S. K. Brown, about half way
between Corvallis and Philomath
and half mile off the main road
to the south, has nine full
blooded registered Cotswolds.
One thoroughbred lamb dropped
the middle of February has wool
now six inches long, and is a
beauty. Mr.. Browns place is
near the Browns Bridge picnic
grounds.
Mr.. Brown has 81 high grade
Cotswolds besides his full bloods.
He is an enthusiastic farm jour
nal man.
E. A. Chapman is a dairyman
one mile from Philomath. He
is milking twelve cows, and the
product goes to the Corvallis
creamery. One of Mr.. Chap
mans daughters has gone into
poultry raising on her own ac-
count. She has an incubator
and breoder, and he now has
five or six hundred Barred Ply
mouth Rock chickens. She at
tends to them herself, and the
hustler believes she is going to
make some money. He hopes
so. She deserves it.
From Kings Valley the hustler
went over to Blodgett's valley.
There is very little wheat here.
Everything is going to live stock
and the hustler thinks wisely.
The Homestead man was at
Glassford's ranch. Mr.. Glass
ford was defeated for assessor of
Benton county at the last cleo
ton. The hustler was also at
the ranch of the successful cam
didate, who was elected by two
votes. He is one of Mr.. Glass
ford's neighbers.
The finest farm in Blodgett
valley is the Widow Alexander's.
Mrs. Alexander has a son in
business in Corvallis, son on
the farm and a daughter at
school. They intend to turn the
whole 500 acres of the farm to
stock. The son on the farm will
run it, and Mrs. Alexander may
spend a good deal of her time in
Corvallis. They have just fin
ished a fine farm house.
| The hustler found the roads in
fair condition. They have gen
orally been worked. All through
that part of the country there is
no complaint of hard times, and
very little talk of low wheat, be-
cause little wheat is raised, ex-
cepting for feed for stock, The
hustler did not run across a
"broke'' man. People who
raise stock, and attend them
properly, are prosperous.
| Kings valley is as old settled
as the Willamette valley. Old
fort Hoskins is at the head of
the valley, three miles from
Kings valley postof6ce, and there
is postofice at the old fort now
called Hoskins.

Make IA Pet of the Rat.

"As a matter of fact" says a coura-
geous writer in the Boston Transcript,
"the common rat is a vastly more intel
ligent creature than the squirrel or the
average cat | am more than half con-
WINGED that the resources Of the rat as
a household pet would If fairly tested
prove very great. The rat IS undoubt-
eddy capable of a higher and more init
mate form of demonstration than that
which he now commonly assigns to
himself. He is At present resident OF
our houses on unwelcome terms. and
he makes himself, quite naturally, as
much an enemy of the household as
possible.
Let the rat be welcomed and made
friend of the family. as has been done
in few caseS. and he becomes n diff
ferent sort of fellow altogether. No
longer forced to steal his food, he be
comes playmate and companion.
The sleek and we'll groomed gray rat Is,
barring the ordinary badness Of his
tail. quite as pretty and graceful
creature as the squirrel, and there is no
reason why we should not become So
much accustomed to the appearance Of
his tail that in time we should regard it
as quite ornamental"
The Somerset reporter., 1900-12-27

A portrait traced by nature on a wo-
mans tombstone. says The Scots Pic
torial, has recently been discovered in
Jedburgh graveyard. near the famous
abbey. The stone WAS erected in 179S
by n worthy balie of Jethart to tie
memory of his wife, Alison Renwick.
The slow finger of time has worn away
most of the facing on the front OF the
stone. and part Of 1t is oyergrown with
moss. which has outlined the features.
Local opinion fayors the view that the
face is Il likeness Of the good old lady
who sleeps beneath, a theory which
has at least the merit of being difficult
OF dIsproof. since no one living can pos
sibly have seen her.
