Visit of a Pioneer Steamboatman.

Capt. ]. ID. Miller, one OF the first
steamboatmen on the Willamette
river, was over Wednesday on a visit
to relatives in this city. He is, with
his son Charles S., owner and mana.
ger of the steamer Chelan, on the
upper Columbia river. He is on his
way home, at Wenatchee, from Port
land. where he was abe guest OF his
son-in-law, Capt. j. S. Cochran, for
whom the steamer Arrow is under
construction at the Pacquett sh:pyard
near Portland. He had an opportun-
ity for inspecting the new boat. He
says that she is exceptionally we'll.
constructed and will be a beauty as
well as flyer when completed. She
is dOuble-decker, one main and two
cabin. The interior finish is equal to
the Pullman cars, and the Captain
says she is the best fastened boat he
ever saw.
When asked regarding the route of
the new steamer, the Captain is some.
what reticent. He does not not deny,
however, that she is intended for the
Sound. 1t may be that her field of
operation is not yet been wholly de-
cided.

THE QUEEN BEE MILL IS BEING
OVERHAULED.

W. T. Doolittle and DR.. J. r.
Conway of Worthington, who are in
the syndicate which purchased the
Queen Bee Mill, have two expert
millwrights in the city and they are
making careful examination of
the equipment of the mill with a
view to determine upon future
operations. The mill itself is as
sound and solid as the jasper rock
from which it is constructed, but the
machinery is largely out of date for
flour making purposes. The gentle
men while not ready to say what
may be done with the property
admit that the present examination
is to determine what portion Of
the present equipment Of the mill
is suitable for use in modern
-four mill and the result of the
examination will probably deter
mine whether the necessary changes
and new machins ry will be procured
to make the mill modern and CON-
plete for actual operations. If the
examination should prove satisfact-
DRY it is not unlikely that new
machinery for the mill will be
ordered at once and that plans
will be made to place the mill again
in commission after a silence Of
twenty years.-Sioux Falls Argus

MOST VALUABLE WATCH.

A watch said to be worth 5000
is going the rounds of the pawn
shops up town, and as yet has found
no purcha ser. Since it's owner
hypothecated it it has passed into
the hands of several spectators and
the end of it's peregrinations up to
the present time has found it still
lacking purchaser. 1t was pawned
some five years ago in an up town
pawnshop for $4,000 and it's owner,
whose monogram is engraved on
the case, has never attempted to
redeem it. 1t is said to be the most
expensive watch ever manufactured
in any country.
Its works alone it is estimated by
experts are worth $4,000. They
we're put together by the most
skilled workmen in England. 1t
required nearly year to perfect
the wonderful and delicate pieces of
mechanism. There are so many
hands on the face of the watch it
seems difficult to distinguish the
time hands. It has of course, the
large hands second and spllt-second
hands, and double hair springs.
Besides the large dials there are
three smaller ones. It has a second
dial, a minute repeater, a minute
register and chronograph. The
Jewels used in the works are of the
most expensive kind, and there are
nine of them in all. The watch
weighs, case and all seven ounces
four pennyweights.
The case is studded with 154
diamonds, Sc of which are gems
weighing from half to three
quarters of carat. It required the
buying of many, even three times
that number, in order to select those
of equal size. This, of course, has
much to DO with the high value of
this watch. The largest stones are
laid in circle around both sides of
the case, and when the watch is
opened the back of the stones set
through the covers may be seen.
They are not backed by anything
that would give doubt as to their
value. on the face cover the initials
of the owner are set, with SO smaller
stones, read in e. j. P.'-New

WANTED MONEY

Rev. s. Anderson had an un-
pleasant experience a week ago
Monday night at Dundee with some
hold up artists. He was waiting
for the midnight train and while on
the platform saw three men sitting
on the edge, they got up, after he
had been there a short time ap
preached him and began to talk
about crops, work, wages and hogs,
Mr.. Anderson taking part in the
conversation finally one suddenly
grabbed him and said they were
poor and wanted some money, he
replied he was poor too, when they
began to shake him. AS he was
about to defend himself the train
hove in sight and the fellows run.
After the train had been there
awhile waiting until their time
was up one of the party approached
the conductor and wanted ride,
making the plea they had no money
and one was an old time railroad
man and he used to carry poor
people on his train. The conductor
refused and during the conversation
one of the trainmen procured a re-
volver in case the strangers became
too obnoxious. Mr.. Anderson says
he did not intend lay down to the
fellows and would have made a
desperate fight, had they not left
him as they did.

WHY A GIRL CAN'T SPIN A TOP.

motion to send it whirling RICH side

YOU never will, because the ready
possibility of doing such a thing
does not lie in woman's anatomy.
A girl can whirl at rope and Jump

brother only laughs at her efforts to
spin it, if she makes them, .as she

HOED HIS OWN ROW.

Fred Mohl has twenty thousand
apple trees on a three acre addition
to his famous Kanaranzi nurseries
Just west of town. The trees are
from four inches to foot high and
in rows eighty, rods long. They
have been we'll cultivated, but, here
and there little grass and a few
weeds remained in the rows. To
remove these distractions to the
growth of the trees, and at the
same time procure a picture of men
at work who had never worked
before. Mr.. Mohl hit upon novel
plan. BY offering Is cents, refresh
ments and free ride to the nursery,
twenty three men were induced to
agree to hoe as many rows of apples
trees. The laborers were hauled
out last Friday afternoon on drays
and in carriages, and the work
began. Such hoeing has not yet been
seen since the Pilgrim fathers work
ed for their first crop at Plymouth
Rock. Every man had to hoe his
own row, and he who left spear
of grass could not hope topartake of
the refreshments or have his features
appear in the picture Artist Kinsey
was there to take. AS a result the
work was perfectly done. Not a
weed was left, and one enthusiastic
fellow declared that he had digged
down after the roots and be lowed
into the holes. The task finished,
the perspiring workers were lined
up in front of the camera and
Kinsey touched the button, securing
a very good picture from which
Mr.. Mohl will have fine half tone

HARD COAL IS A TREASURE.

HARD COAL is A TREASURE.
G. R. Baker, a representative of
S t. Paul coal company, who was
in Sioux City yesterday, said there
were but 5000 tonsof hard coal at
present at the lake points for west
ern distribution, although there
ought to be at this time 100, 900 tons
in the docks.
"There is only one firm in Chicago
that will fill orders for hard coal
now," said Mr.. Baker. ''That firm g
supply will probably not last long.
Some small jobbers and retailers
at Western points have from so to
300 tons of hard coal on hand now,
and they are holding to it pretty
securely. This supply was left over
from last winter. It was not antic-
ipated at that time that prices we're
going to be almost double this
season.
II received telegram from my
firm this morning instructing me to
take no more order for hard coal,
as they could not be filled. The
chances are that people will have
to burn soft coal or wood this
winter. There is no doubt the price
