Eastern Brokers' Fake Meth
DDS Of Buying Oregon
Stocks.

That "thcre are tricks in all trades
except ours" IL 10 being verified in
relation to the favorite eastern Oregon
mining stocks. Some of these stocks
have Of late become 80 popular with
the investing public that brokers in
several eastern cities, notably Denver
New York and Chicago, who have nom
for sale are systematically endeavoring
to pound down the price. at the same
time reaping II benefit for themselves.
Yesterday TnE MINER received a
telegram from a Denver broker, re-
questing that an advertisement be in.
serted in the paper today Offering lOO,-
600 shares Of Golconda at fifty cents.
The thing looked 'fshy" on the face Of
il, as this stock is selling readily
throughout the east ut as cents. Secre.
tary Howard. of the Golconda company,
was shown the telegram, and asked
how any one man in Denver could have
pressed the opinion that he didn't have
that or any amount Of Golconda and
explained the trick.
He said that for some time past a
Chicago firm has been advertising to
EEL Red Boy at Il figure considerably
less than the market price. The com.
pany sent II representative around to
ascertain what stock II was offered AT
this sacrifice price; who was informed
that II had all been sold, and the
gentleman wal urged to buy some other
stock, ''just ~ good and much cheaper"
according to the story Of the fakir.
The purpose was evidently TO estab.
Itch connection with people who are In.
vesting in mining securities, in the
hope Of working off some drug on the
market.
Several weeks since The MINER WAS
requested to insert an advertisement
Offering Cracker.O Oregon "at q bargain"
The man was informed that II he would
sell for less than the market price, no
advertisement would DO needed to dis.
pose Of il that IN officer Of the com.
psny would take It. No reply to that
proposition has yet been received.

and pursuits, their only obstacle being want of fair opportunity. This being provided by the outing, they respond fully and satisfactorily. It generously opens wide a way out from the reser- vation into civilization and proves that misconduct and failure among them under these individual privileges are comparatively infrequent. It exposes the folly of specializing the Indians and making them peculiar through so-cailed renaissance of Indian art" employ ments, to pass from nomadic hunters of game for living through purga- tory O. nomadic basketry and other ctlrio producing accomplishments, mi- grating between summer resorts in search oE a meagre and degenerating livelihood. in order to satisfy the spec tacular and ethnological whims of a few self-constituted bosses among our own people.
 The theory still prevails in some parts o& the West that the only good Indian is dead one, but this theory is not accepted at Carlisle. or by those who know os the good work that is done there.

 < LONG LIFE.

Perhaps the children who don't like to study don't need any more excuses for not studying lard than they al- ready have. but if they do Professor Goldwin Smith has helped them. He is eighty years old and pretty well. Hay ing set out with a very weak constitu- tion," he says, T believe I owe my att tainment of old age to my not having been oyerworked at school as a child. At the two schools at which I was, one of which was Eton, work was very light. I cannot help fearing the chil-
 dren now, especially if their constitu-
 tions are not strong, are overworked at
 school"
 Of course all the children want to live long, and their parents want to have them live long. So perhaps some of the
 children will be able to use Professor Smiths idea effectively. But in case they cannot impress their parents with the idea that study is bad for them they can be reminded that there is another way to live long than by avoiding study. One of the Commandments is
 ''Honor thy father and thy mother;
 that thy days may be long upon the
 land which the Lord thy God giveth
 thee" So the children who are afraid they will die if they study can console themselves by remembering that chil- dren who mind their fathers and moth CTS are promised long life. Cheered by this promise they can study as theii ! fathers and mothers want to have I them.

MaKINa coon INDIANS.

The Indian School at Carlisle, Penn
 sylvania, is conducted sensibly, and
 does good work for the Indians and the
 country. One. of its devices for train ing young Indians is the outing system.
 During the year just ended 519 boys and 42s girls had outing privileges for some portion of the year. While the boys, worked largely for farmers, some were placed in mechanical situations, working side by side with the regular employees in various establishments. Others were employed at seashore and other summer resorts in such positions as are often filled by college students during vacation. sThe united earnings of those who had outing privileges the past year were $S1;s9S. The workers save half their earnings, and the ac- cumulated savings in two years are $S5,9o4. The superintendent of the school says of the outing system that it gets young Indians on an equality, and acceptably, into actual industrial
 social, and moral relations with the good people of our country, and breaks down prejudice between the races. It establishes that youth of the Indian race are entirely and immediately ca pable of taking on civilized industries

 bright little spots, and I heard g chorus
 of long-drawn. tremulous pur-r-rs, which knew from previous experience meant young raccoons. l pulled rom my belt a pair of old leather gloves which I usually carry, and Wnlch use
 for a score of purposes in the woods. and after putting them on. leaned m- to the hole and reached down. The donning of the gloves was an unnecess- ary precaution, for the cubs were too young to bite. and threw them our, 1 four of them, each with a look oi astonishment on his couical little face. 1 I put one of them in each of my ! side pockets. and after returning the others to their home, I slid to the foot l O. the tree. Here I set the little gray cubs on the ground, and more self l possessed youngsters I never saw They seemed interested in everything l but, surprised at nothing, and they just toddled about amongst the ferns and tree trunks as though they were at tending to everyday duties, all the time purring contentedly. Then took them home, and, like other young rae coons I have reared, they took readily to cows milk, which they sucked greedily from baby's bottle. Later they ate all manner of solid food, al. ways washing it carefully before eating lit, after the manner of almost all rae, coons. They are back in the wood again now, and I have twice met one ol I them in my walks. He was quite wild but still thought he paused to giv

SOME wfArHEn IN oLD ENGLAND.

OOAE E HEAIHBH IN OLD ES6LA hD'
 New England is not the only place where they have weather. They have some ih old England. For instance: At Brentwood, Essex, 6.36 inches of rain fell in June and 7.SO inches in July, making 1866 inches for the two months, breaking the record of forty-five years. At Wellington in May 313 inches fell in twenty four hours. At many places in June over an inch of rain fell on three consecutive days. For the seven days June 9-15 the average fall over the Thames watershed was four and half inches. On the 18th of July in Hants 3.21 inches fell in ninety minutes. At many places in Essex. London. Surrey, Herts, Berks, Bucks and Sussex the rainfall in June and July exceeded 9.42 inches. Yet from June 20 to July 15 there were twenty-six consecutive days of dry weather without a measurable fall of rain.
 Mark Twain once correctly described New England weather. There seems to be chance for somebody to talk about old England weather

RACING DAY,

To-day, if everything is all right, the srst trial of quality and skill between Reliance and Shamrock III. will come off. How it will come out is a question which is even more interesting than that question has been in other similar trials. There is no doubt that Sham rock III. is good boat.so good that she could beat anything but Reliance, and there are those who think she can do that. Reliance is also a good boat, and well named. The cup has been here long time. and if Reliance continues its stay here the appropriateness of her name will stick out as conspicuous ly as her big mast does.
 As a result of the official measure ments os Reliance and Shamrock III. the sormer must give the latter a time allowance of one minute and forty-fye seconds over a thirty mile course. This looks large, and it is larger than has been usual. Shamrock II. al- lowed Columbia forty-three seconds; Columbia allowed Shamrock I. six sec onds in the first race, after which the latter added to her ballast and allowed Columbia sixteen seconds. Defender was allowed twenty-nine seconds by valkyrie III. Of course the big | handicap is offset by the 1,SOo feet of canvas which Reliance spreads over and above the sail area of the Lipton l crast. I .~ @@ . Nobody is going to feel much cut up
 if Sir Thomas persistent and costly efforts bring success this time. He is a
 good man to lose to. if. there must. be
 loss, But there has been none yet.
 and it will be time to be cheerful and I resigned about it when it happens.

FIRES ALL OUT.
MaIns's Hotels and Sportsmsn's Camps Not
Injured BY Rscsnt Blaze In Timber Lands.

Augusta. Me-. June 1s-Forest Com
missioner Ring says every forest fire In
Maine has been sxtinguished by the
heavy downpour OF rain the past week.
Because OF the heavy losses In Maine
timberlands. the idea seems 10 have
spread abroad that the lake regions or
Maine, where there are summer hotels.
practically have been burned over. As a
matter OF fact not a hotel nor single
sporting camp has been destroyed. nor.
with the exception OF few distant
camps have they been threatened at any
time as the following interview with the
Forest Commissioner Ring Will show:
Mr. Ring says: ~ do not know OF the
de estruction OF a single sporting camp nor
the threatening OF any Maine pleasure
resc rts by the forest fires. The fires have
ragged In the unoccupied townships, ana
vast wildernesses OF northern and eastern
Maine, where the only damage was 10 the
lumber interests. The worst fire near
pleasure resort was at Mount Katahdin,
but this was not serious one. Not no.
tel had been threatened even.
THE burning over of the forests In
northern and eastern Maine will serve 10
make hunting better. As every hunter
we'll knows In burnt land II is easier To
md the game and there consequently Is
more cunning there. There Is no duef-
ton about It, the hunting and 1shing
will I've improved II anything. Not sin
sle bear is reported as having been killed
by the fires.
