Believed Unassailahle.

For years the most majestic peak OF
the Alps had been believed unassailable
by man, rising as 1t does 1900 feet
above the crest OF the mountain and
1a,soo feet above sea level. The peak
on one side is sheer wall Of rock,
rising about three-quarters of mile
above the surrounding mountains. Va
rious had been the attempts TO reach
its summit. among them at attempt by
Tyndan. Whymper had made seven
previous trials before his great achieve
ment. What would have been an oc-
easion of great rejoicing was turned
into one of sadness by the cruel acct
dent during the descent. All in the
party excepting Mr. Hadow, who was
mountaineering for the first tin1e, had
had experience. even Lord Francis
Douglas. who was only about ninete en-
years old, had spent several seasons in
the great mountains, and was accredit-
ed an expert in mountain climbing.

Astoria has one resonant virtue to
her credit. She knows how to receive,
and treat, the stranger within her
gates. There are other cities that do
the same thing, but not all of them. 1t
is a public virtue, and becomes such
not by reason of profuse hospitality
uponr some given occasion wlten ex.
pansive courtesy is looked for and count
ed as one Of the features of the hour.
but by the use of kindly and interested
eivility on all ordinary days Of the
year and to the casual visitors. This
is the keynote Of municipal popularity
abroad, and this city enjoys distinct
measure of it. Nor is this an assump.
tion backed by a boast; il Is a truth
conveyed by people wno have been bene-
iciaries, and their word is what we are
looking for by way of absolute testi-
mony.

There is hardly one thousand dollars
difference between the public debts of
Astoria and Salem. The population of
the two cities is almost identical. The
property values are nearly equal. But
the Capital has one advantage. When
it has to utter bonds for any local pur-
poses, it pursues a course quite unique
on this coast. 1t has, for the past six
years, refused to entertain bids for its
public bonds from the great banking
houses of the east and the local bankers,
as well, choosing, rather, to sell them
to her own people upon the popular
loan plan, and she has already disposed
of sl25,0OO in three separate issues.
Four per cent interest is the figure at
which her bonds have sold, and instead
of Jumping them off to some disinterest-
ed firm 5000 miles away, at or 9 per
cent, with exchange charges on the
transmission of her interest, she has
them at home, bearing a fair rate of
cost, among people who will see to it
that the public business is done in
fashion that will protect them and their
investment; and having followed the
governmental plan of selling to the low
est subscriber first, the poorer class of
her citizens are absorbed in the loan
with their minor Investments, an aj-
vantage the ordinary poor man cannot
indulge in under the old system of sell
ing bonds. The very school children of
that city have their $500 and 5000 |
and $4,000 iu the bonds Of their town
and school district, and parents have
invested for their babes in arms in or
der that the infant citizens may have a
nest-egg at their majority. 1t is sen.
sible, logical and satisfactory way of
handling the public funds and is en-
tirely free from the hundred and one
antiquities attaching to the old way
of doing things. And it is not the least
interesting feature of her plan that it
has the endorsement of her nome
bankers, they having regularly, and
largely, subscribed for her funded Ger.
I Gates at each output of them. That
they did not get all they wanted of
them, (which was the entire issue) was {,
due to the fact that the little fellow !
had to be served first, then the next
highest, and so up the scale, until the
rich man, with his bid for the bulk Of
the loan, or the greater part Of it, was
'left with the sack" untitled.

FonndntIon for Cathollc Church.

of the Catholic church, now being
erected in this city, is about complet-
cd. The church edifice is being erect
cd on the property north of Frank
handlers residence on the heights,
from where commanding view Is OBJ

miles east and west.
Peter Mohr informs the Glacier that
tho building will not be erected by
contract. Fred Hertz has been placed
in charge of the construction, and he
will have the work done by day labor.
"We will go as far as possible with
the funds at hand, and If we find 1t
impracticable to complete the build
ing this year, we will wait until the
money is forthcoming, said Mr..
Mohr. "There are no very wealthy
members of our church in the valley,

with what money we can raise.

New SnrYeYlng Office.

Murray Kay, who has just opened a

locality has reached point in value
where considerable accuracy and high

twelve years experience on some OF
the best American railroads includes
several years of very particular sur
veying in the cities of New York and
Chicago, where none but the finest
work is of any value.
Mr.. Kay states emphatically that he
does not wish to interfere or compete
with local surveyors, but rather to
create field of his own in the max

racy is required. lie has already

SKAMANIA Mines
SHOW COPPER VEIN

Down in Skamania county, there Is
a mining district which promises to
make some startling yields in copper,
gold, silver and lead. The mines are
being worked at present chiefly for
the copper.
s. Ii. Cox, was home last week from
the Gold Run district on the head
waters OF the Washougal, and has left
samples of his ore at the Glacier
office. II. W. Rand, president of the
Gold Run company, accompanied Mr..
Cox to Hood River.
This company has been incorporat-
ed with capitalization Of 1000, ,OOO
shares at the par value of 81 share.
The officers of the corporation are
II. W. Rand of Portland, president ;
w. Il. Jones of Portland, secretary
and treasurer u. s. Russell, Mr..
Mohr of Mount Pleasant, and Mr..
Rand, trustees.
Eph Winans of this city has been
granted a contract Of $3.50 to complete
two miles of road and to sink 81
foot shaft into the ledge. There are
four claims on the ledge, with plenty
of timber and water power at hand.
The ore has been essayed and found
to run from $40 to S42 ton in cop
per, gold, silver and lead.
On the other side of the mountain,
and above the Gold Run mine is a
mine being developed by st. Louis
company with unlimited financial
backing. This is known as the Maybe
mine. The company Is satisfied to ex.
pend large sum of money in devel-
opment work, and Mr.. Rand says a
smelter will be erected there very
soon. The ledge is 80 feet wide at
the surface. A 500-foot shaft will be
sunk, when a wider vein Is expected
to be encountered.
Stock in the Maybe mine has ad-
vanced from 30 to s. share, and has
been taken off the market.
