Prairie City, Jan. 49, What is in
some respects the most phenomenal
gold find in Eastern Oregon, is ~
miles south of Prairie City, in Grant
county. The width of the ledge is 600
feet, and the walls are broken away for
q distance of more than 5000 feet,
leaving the ore exposed $50 to 200 feet

the world has such body of ore been
found, standing, as this does, where no
tunneling is necessary. The value OF
the ore runs from So to $6S per ton in
gold, and it is free milling. Thousands
upon thousands OF tons of ore, unin-
numbered by mountains of dirt and
yalueless rock, stand uncovered.

CHILD STOLEN

Friday afternoon Elsie Jones, aged 1C
years, bright and attractive little girl
who lived with Frank Pleasanton, at
Leipsic, was stolen from her home and
spirited away by two men and a woman
who drove to that town in buggy. Mr..
Pleasanton secured the girl from all in
stitution in Wilmington about year ago
and his family has become much at
tached to her. Three weeks ago strange
woman appeared at the Pleasanton resi-
dence and demanded the girl, but the re-
quest was refused. She made several
threats but finally left town, stating she
would have the child if she had to steal
her. 1t is supposed that the woman is
the girls mother. Friday afternoon two
men and a woman in buggy drove up
to Denny's school near Leipsic. where
the child was attending school. They
wrapped at the door and asked Miss
Moore, the teacher, for Elsie Jones stat
ing they would detain her but a few
moments. The little tot went out and
spoke to the strangers who hastily grab
bed her and placed her in the carriage,
driving off at a terrific gait. The abduc-
tion has been the talk of the neighbor-
hood, bnt no trace of the missing girl
can be found.

up the wall that the tariff was
the root of all evil, and to which
should be charged all political
wrongs, as well also a large por-
ton of social unrest and inequal-
ity. If the farmer CHANGED to
raise more wheat than the world
could possibly use, the low price
was charged to the tariff: If
any given number of men chose
to consolidate their capital in any
enterprise, no matter how prop
erly, if they were Incorporated,

poor were growing poorer. The
man who had occasion to- own

would ultimately whelm him in

The Erie Railroad company Thurs
day scored a point in it's fight in Penn
sylvania to prevent the Erie and Wyo-
ming Valley and Pennsylvania Coal
companies from building it's proposed
coal road from Hawley, over the aban-
doned Delaware and Hudson canal, 20
tidewater at Kingston, n. Y. Last
November the Erie company dumped
100 carloads of coal ashes in the canal
"a LackawaXen, where the Erie crosses
it by a bridge. This was to prevent the
new road from building on the bed of
the canal, which is under the Erie
tracks at this point. The matter was
taken to the courts and Judge Purdy,
the presiding judge of Pike and Wayne
counties, ordered the Erie company to
remove a wooden bridge it had built
across the canal on a level with the
bank while an injunction was pending,
leaving the coal and other obstruction
undisturbed.
Thursday the Erie company, through
Milford, which in effect would give it
permanent possession of the land under
its bridge No. at LackawaXen, A
special term of Pike county court was
held at Milford before Judge Purdy
and Associate Judges Klaerand Houck,
at which the Erie and Wyoming COM
pany asked for an injunction to re.
strain the Erie from filing it's bond
The injunction was denied and the Erie
permitted to file its bond. This gives
the latter company the canal bed
where it is obstructed.

rooms and these are filled with such
profusion of flowers that one is almost
bewildered when he enters.
"They may talk of their Paris flower
markets" said one florist yesterday,
but we've got flower markets in
great a profusion of flowers of all
kinds and varieties as any that the
old world has"
The Easter lilies, of course, predom-
mate and they can be had by the
hundred. They are selling at the same
price they have sold for several years
back, 20 cents a flower. And ii isn't
only the well-to-do who are buying
them, either, for the children of the
poor may be seen coming in to get the
beautiful white blossoms that typify so
much in this most glorious season Of
the year.
A flower that is also very plentiful
and one which is becoming very popu-
