their journey. As they progressed
towards the interior a part Of this
band separated from Meek and took
directly easterly course toward
Diamond peak In the Cascades. This
party, under the leader ship OF Cap

found the mine. The history. how.

of the party came back In 1882 and
found the rotted remnants of the
wagons and an old walnut OK yoke.
Two years before that "a United States
surveying party was instructed to
look for the mine. They found that
all of the old settlers traditions
the mine conformed, but
after searching for some time they
came to the conclusion that the
sand had covered the ledge.
They left under the impression that
the mine was near the marsh In Lake
county in the open desert. while Mr..
Smiths informer told him that 1t
was situated In the rough mountains.
From the fact that the party went
down Crooked river it Ia not at all
unlikely that they stopped in the

Prosperous belgium

1t is the fashion at the present time,
for enemies of the Catholic church to
endeavor to revive the exploded fiction
that where the Catholic church is there
also is poverty. Incidence, ignorance
and consequently lack Of enterprise.
They forget that almost half the
population Of the German empire is
Catholic: that the Austro Hungarian
empire is a Catholic state. and that if
Italy and Spain are too distraught to
use their natural advantages to the
best purpose, it is those forces that
have been antagonistic to the church
on the continent that cause the unset

gence, industry and comparative COM
fort and wealth rank them as fore

ties of the world. And this is a Cath
Ollie state.
Little more than 20 years ago Belgi-
UNI was a poor, struggling subject of
Protestant Holland. Yet, when she
had thrown off the yoke and set herself
to the management of her own affairs,
prosperity was not long in coming and
the 100000 of those days is the 7,OOO,-
600 today. The nation whose 100000

the Protestant rule of Holland a diff
cult one is today able to boast that she
has but one pauper to every 1900 of
her population, while England and
Wales. the eNemplar of Protestant
progress, has pauper for every 80 of
her inhabitants.
Low taxation and equitable laws are
the secret of success under the Catho-
lie government which has already
solved those economic problems with
which the greatest minds in England
are wrestling today.

GREAT THOUGHTS.

Youth and Strength.

they Have the Gilt OF ImmOrthh
Youth and Strength.
The influence of the law of action
and reaction can be traced more clear
ly In those everyday human affairs
which come under our individual OBJ
seryation than in the greater move
ments Of mankind which are often I'm
perfectly recorded. We act and are
acted upon. The people we meet make
an impression on us; the impression
may be for the moment or it may last
through life. Bloom, fragrance, grace,
harmony, beauty, majesty, affect US
agreeably; deformlty, imbecility, dis
tress, cruelty. affect US unpleasantly.
The plea OF the unfortunate, the
thought of our visitor, the opinion iii
the newspaper, the issues of the time,
impress US In accordance with our
moods or natures. Certain words, tones,
sights, awaken echoa, within us Of Old
happiness or pain.
There are words and tones which
produce beautiful reactions the lula
the lover, the voice of sympathy, the
enchantment of music, the messages
Of the poets, the trumpet calls to hon
or and duty. And there are words
which produce misunderstanding, CON
fusion, aversion, anger-the words of
whining, complaining, fault finding, of
envy, jealousy, SANDER, of malice, In
tolerance, brutality.
The response to the public speaker Is
reciprocal to his power. II he be dull,
the hearers are wearied; il he be con
vinclng, courageous, forceful, the au-
dience will kindle. and he may rouse
them to laughter or tears, to indlgna-
ton or fury, to generosity or sacrifice.
lie may change the opinions and con
yictions of some and the course of the
lives of others; he may even save
city from slaughter or make state.
II his thought be really great, 1t may
live through many ages, stirring gen
Grafton after generation. The reaction
OF moral effort may be prolonged; 1t
may even gain force with time, 1ndl-
eating Its connection with some stu
pendous primal energy. The echo of
great physical CONFUSION dies quickly
but the echo of the words Of Confu-
clus and Buddha, of Plato Seneca and
Christ, still lives. The voice of Socrates
before his judges kindles men whose
ancestors were untamed savages when
Socrates spoke Buildings decay, mon
uments fall, rivers run dry, races de-
cline. but great thought suffers from
no impairment or decrepitude; it has
