AN UNFINISHED LETTER.

Gregory Rose had been gone seven
months. EN- sat alone on a white
sheepskin before the fire.
The August wind. weird and shrill,
howled round the chimneys and
through the crannies and in walls and
doors and uttered long, low cry as it
forced it's way among the clefts OF the
stones on the "kopje." 1t was a wild
night. The prickly pear tree, stif and
upright as It held its arms. felt the
winds might and knocked its fat
leaves heavily together till great
branches broke off. The Kaffirs as
they slept in their straw huts whis-
pered one to another that before morn
ing there would not be an armfui OF
thatch left on the roofs, and the beams
Of the wagon house creaked and groan-
ed as II 1t were heavy work to resist

Another Fool Father Given the Slip.

An irate father, with blood In his eye,
was at the court house yesterday. He
was on the warpath, and didn't care who
knew It. He accused Joseph Manary Of
committing the crime Of perjury In order
to obtain license to wed his daughter,
Miss Myrtle Lee, Of Baker City, and he
left vowing vengeance upon the man who
had robbed him Of his daughter. 1t seems
that when the young people In the case
decided that life would be one great blank
unless they could spend it together, the
father was approached and put his foot
down on the proposed marriage. The
young people thereupon dedcided to
wed, Notwithstanding the objections Of
the father, and Monday, boarding the
train at Baker City, where the young
lady resided, came to Boise. Arriving
here on the $50 train, the young man ap.
peared at the auditors office and made the
required affidavit for a marriage license,
which specifies that the ages are what the
law requires. There was nothing In the
appearance Of the young man indicating
trouble, and nothing to do In any event
but issue the license after the affidavit had
been made. Deputy West thereupon did
so.- The young man ,hastened back to the
office Of Judge Herrick, where the young
lady was anxiously awaiting her lovers
return, and the Judge promptly tied the
knot In his most approved and courteous
style.-Boise Statesman.

Mysterious Dead Sea In Lake County.


The following paragraph, relative to
body of water well known to Harney
county people, is taken from Wallowa
county exchange: A wagon has been
discovered In Alber: Lake, a large body Of
water situated about forty miles north
from Lakeview, In Lake county, Oregon.
The wagon Is In the lake near the eastern
shore, in about twenty feet Of water, and
Just under the rmrocks. II is supposed
to have been there for twenty years or
more, but how it got there nobody knows.
II Is difficult to reach that locality, as the
trail to the desert lies on the opposite side
Of the lake. This lake is remarkable
one. 1t Is another dead sea. II Is about
twenty miles long, from one to ten miles
wide, and from one to seventy five feet
deep. II Is fed by number Of springs
and small streams and creeks, and the
Chewaucan river, but It has no outlet.
Its rise and fall Is perciptibIe; and its
waters are so heavily impregnated with
alkali that no animal can drink or live In
It. At the mouth Of the small streams

that flow into Il, hundreds Of dead fish
are found that have drifted into It's waters
and died. At the mouth Of Chewauean
river tons Of fish can be found. and the
shores are composed Of fish bones. Ducks
and geese only approach its waters at the
mouth Of the fresh water streams, and no
living animal Is ever found on or in the
body Of the lake proper.

PRAIRIE CITY
PROPOSITION.
Plat Of Townsite Finished and
Activity lnaugurated.

Lon and E. E. Cleaver, VINO are hand.
ling the Prairie City townsite proposition,
have been In Sumpter more or less during
the past week. They make talk that
interests, astonishes and convinces the
most hardened townsite skeptie; claiming
the while that the proposition needs no
booming, that the hardest task they have
on hand Is to convince the public that one
half Of the unadorned truth regarding that
section Of country Is not the siren song Of
the professional boomer.
At first glance It might appear that they
were bringing coal to Newcastle, In car.
rying on their missionary work here In
Sumpter, but such Is really not the case.
This Is the headquarters, the center, the
heart Of all such operations In eastern
Oregon. All that country Is tributary to
this camp and will continue so until the
Columbia Southern railroad Is completed
to Prairie City, when there will be par.
tial reallgnment Of commercial, industrial
and speculative operations. Prairie City
Is lining up for the position Of the most
important town In Grant county, or any.
where west Of Sumpter.
Engineer Philbrick has completed the
plat Of the Prairie City Land eompany's
additions to the town, consisting Of 364
acres. The original townsite contained
about eighty acres. The additions are
situated south and west Of the old town.
Much Of that on the west has been re.
served for railroad purposes, yards, depot,
repair shops, etc. South Of the river are
24o acres Of plated ground, where the
company will endeavor to build the me.
tropolis Of John Day country. Mr.. Phil.
brick says It Is the handsomest townsite
In eastern Oregon, being a gradual slope
from the foothills to the river bank. This
land has been under cultivation for years,
being planted in wheat. Part Of II was
used for the race track and fair grounds.
A bridge will be built across the river on
Johnson avenue, which thoroughfare Is
intended for the main business street.
The avenues running north and south, ,are
100 feet wide; the streets east and west
are 30 feet and the allevs 90 feet. Lots
are soxI2s feet In size. Street grades are
already being established.
II Is claimed that the finest water sup.
ply In the West can be secured from
lake up on the mountain top five miles
away, at an elevation above the town Of
about 1000 feet, and that a company from
Portland will construct system Of water
works there this season.

Prisoners Escape

Yesterday morning two prisoners
named Ramsey and Collins escaped
from guard at the State Prison
They, in company with four others,
were grubbing sagebrush back of the
prison, and taking advantage of the
guard, made a run for the hills. The
guard was unable to halt them, and
being afraid that the others would fol-
low suit, did not attempt to pursue
them. He took the four men back to
the prison and general hunt was in
stituted for the men.
The tracks headed down the river and
the trail was folluwed until the men sep
arated. 1t is supposed Collins 10 headed
for Virginia and will likely be captured
early today.
Ramsey is stranger in these parts
and if he has left Collins will have te
GENE to some farm house for food. He
came from Humboldt county, while Col
Inns was lately sentenced from Storey
county for burglary.
The men had not been unprecedented al
