the novel experience of not paying any
taxes this year.
There is now in the county treasury
nearly $4,000, and there are no unpaid

the expenses of the county during the
year, besides paying 81, 100 interest on
the court house bonds.
Nothing will have to be paid to the
court house sinking fund this year.

BISHOP TURNER HERE.
The Distinguished Negro Divine
Visited Dawson.

Bishop Henry M. Turner of the A.
M. E. Church, the most distinguished
negro in the United States, was in
Dawson few days ago, and while here
preached at Atoc Chapel.
The object of his visit to Dawson
was to settle some friction that had
arisen in the church here. The pre-
siding elder of the district seems to
have been connected with the trouble,
and the bishop transferred the Dawson
church from the Cuth bert to the Al
bany district.
During the late presidential cam

interest and comment by speaking and

R. c. McCroskey, who owns and
cultivates 1400 acres Of land near Gar
field, Wash, has finished threshing
his wheat and finds that he has a
total of $4,000 bushels of wheat for
this seasons crop. Mr.. McCroskey's
crop averaged 80 bushels to the acre.
He had about 1000 acres of wheat, the
remainder of his land being in oats
or other crops. He has figured all
expenses of the crop just harvested
and finds that his wheat cost him
an average of % cents per bushel
placed in the warehouse. He sold
$4,000 bushels before the beginning
of the harvest for ASH cents per
bushel. Wheat is now worth 40 cents
per bushel, and if it were all sold at
the present prices Mr.. McCroskey
would net II cents per bushel, or
$685. per acre from this single crop.
But adding the amount sold at As
cents per bushel makes the total aver
age, if the remainder were sold at
present prices, $6.S7 per acre net
profit. Multiplying this by 100 gives
a total net profit on this crop of wheat
of $6S70.

William Pollman and a number of
other Baker City men have filed on
the waters of Rock creek, and have
announced their intention to estab-
lish a power system for the genera
ton and transmission of electric pow
er to this city. 1t will be necessary
to construct ditch about three miles
long, to convey the water to the site
of the power-house, where a fall of
several hundred feet can be obtained.
From the power-house, which will be
located several miles from the city,
the electric current will be transmit
ted by means of copper wire to this
city to run mills and factories and
light the city. The company, which is
to be formed by Mr.. Pollman and his
associates, will expend about $4,000
on the power plant 1t expects to
have from 1000 to 5000 horsepower to
distribute. This will be all the power
that will be required in Baker City
and vicinity for several years. The
work of building the plant will be
started as soon as the arrangements
for the necessary material can be
made. This is very important mat
ter for Baker City and all of Eastern

has been launched at the company's
yards at Seattle.
The new structure is 200 feet in
length and so feet in width, with tow
ers 80 feet high above the pontoon,
which is II feet deep. 1t has a float
ing capacity of 5000 tons and its own
weight is 1000 tons. In its construc-
ton there was used 100000 feet of
lumber and $50 tons of iron. Centrif-
ugal pumps, operated by electric mo-
tors, will be used to empty the water
compartments by which the dock is
to be lowered or raised in the water,
together with any vessel which may
be placed in it.
Work will Immediately be begun on
the second section of the dock, anu
when it is completed the two will be
used together, making a dock 400 feet
in length and large enough to raise
the largest vessel afioat in the Pacific
ocean, while the addition of the third
section, which is in contemplation,
will enable the company to handle
and repair the largest vessels ever
under construction anywhere in the

There is no longer any reason to
doubt the report given out nearly two
years ago that a gigantic steel and
iron mill company was in a state of
formation to build a mill on Puget
Sound. Since that time the coke and
coal mines at Hamilton, Wash, near
Everett, have come under the control
of President Hill, of the Great North
ern, and further and exhaustive pros
pecting on Hamilton and Texacla
islands prove them to be literally sup
piled with ore. Railroad and street

erous trolley line projects has rem
dered an enterprise of this kind an
absolute necessity. A plant to meet
all the demands sure to be made up

It is really new kind of flower, and

common American species, the larger
and coarser European sort, and the
japanese daisy.
There are three rows of petals OF
the purest white, and each blossom lie
upheld by a single strong and wiry
stem which Is nearly two feet long.
One advantage of the Shasta daisy
Is said to be that it is exceedingly

claimed that it prospers in almost any
kind OF soil, blooms all summer long

have been completed for building a
railroad from Cottage Grove, Or,

through region of heavy timber to
the Bohemia mines. It is expected
that construction work viii be com
menced this fall and that about half
the track will be laid before spring
Connected with this, though not yet
wholly arranged for, is the project OF
building smelter, either at Portland
or in the Bohemia mining district.
The smelter enterprise is expected to
follow the completion of the railroad
and 1t is deemed probable that both
will be in operation in less than year
from date.
we have gone so far" said Presi-
dent Jennings, yesterday, that the
rest of the work is easy. We have
$4,000 assured for the railroad,
largely on the basis OF the mineral
richness of the district as shown by
developments already made. Capital
is eager to build an adequate smelter
but there would he no use for the
smelter without the railroad, so the
road is to go first. This is the natu-
raj order. l have not a doubt that
the smelter will be provided when
we are ready for it. The field is toe
important to be neglected and the
problem of ore, fuel and fiuxes prac
tically solves itself here"
The money for the railroad enter
prise will be supplied by Eastern
