STOCK THE STREAMS

E. Upton, Of Falls City, has made
arrangements to have 100000 small
Eastern trout shipped from Washing
ton, D. c., which will be planted in
the tributaries Of the Luckiamute
about Falls City. The result Of this
move will be to furnish the waters Of
the Luckiamute with fresh stock of
sturdy and gamy fish. If other
sportsmen could be prevailed upon to
follow Mr.. Lipton's lead in this mat
ter, it would soon become needless for
fishermen to take a week off and
tramp out thirty or forty miles to get
good fishing.
There is an abundance of trout
streams in Polk County, in which the
original stock has dwindled until it is
practically useless for fisherman to
look for real sport on this side of the
coast range. Let the same care be
taken that was used in the case Of the
China pheasants, few years ago,
and these depleted fishing grounds
will soon TEEN with fish.
There is no reason why the Eastern
bass should not be introduced into our
streams, and beyond all doubt it
would add new element to the pastime
OF fishing in the West, for though the
trout is gamy, there is no fish more
hardy, strong, or pugnacious than the
bass.
Mr.. Upton has set a laudable
example before the sportsmen Of Polk
County. 1t is up to them to follow his
lead, and if they do so, there is no
doubt that their trout streams will
soon become second to none in the
number and quality of their fish.

OREGON'S OLDEST NORMAL
Celebrates Twenty-Fifth Anniver
sary With Pleasing Exer-
ciSeS.

+ The Quarter Centennial Anniversar,
r of Oregon's oldest State Norma
, School, held in Monmouth, Saturday
June 80, passed in a wave of white
: hot enthusiasm, leaving the OLE
school the richer in friends, and il
the prospect Of an indefinite lease o
life, in spite Of the failure Of hel
appropriation to materialize.
The day passed in round of inspir
ing addresses by prominent men from
various parts Of the state. The prin-
cipal ideas developed in the course OF
these addresses were: That no real
jealousy exists between the four
Normals, and that the State owes it,
for the best interests Of her citizens, to
give all her institutions fair and just
support and maintenance. 1t was
held that the state needed all her insti-
tutions. and the thought was advanced
that the Monmouth Normal was placed
in her present stress not by the COM
mon will Of the citizens at large, but
through the agency Of political
juggling.
Hon. N. L. Butler, OF Dallas,
advised that competent men be sent
out to canvass and to talk in favor of
the school, since he firmly believed
that its safety lay in the people gain
ing thorough understanding of the
real state of affairs.
Under the leadership of G. H. Jones,
editor of the Oregon Teachers
Monthly, the members of the Alumni
took action, whereby they promised to
advance funds sufficient to tide the
school over this crisis, and keep it on
solid base until the state should
come to its rescue. Little doubt was
expressed by any of the speakers that
the present stress would have any
permanent effect, other than to unity,
strengthen and establish the interest
of all the Normal Schools in the state.
The most prominent speakers of the
day were President E. D. Ressler, of
Monmouth; Judge @. E. Wolverton ;
Hon. N. L. Butler: Hon. A. Noltner;
President p L. Campbell, of the Uni
versity of Oregon; Judge George II.
Burnett; Editor G. H. Jones; W. R.
Rutherford, aud President r. G.
French, Of the Weston Normal.
A letter of sympathy and encourage
ment from ex-President Stanley, for
merly of Monmouth, now laboring in
Philadelphia, was read before the
assembly. In the afternoon an excel
lent portrait Of the former president,
P. l.. Campbell, was presented to the
school. This portrait is in oil, from
the hand of Moore, who painted the
portrait of President Campbell's
father which was presented to the
Normal few years ago.
Ira F. M. Butler, an earnest sup
porter of the Normal, exhibited his
interest in its welfare in a touching
manner, attending every meeting in
person, although 95 years of age and
so feeble that he had to be assisted to
and from the hall. Storms of whole
souled applause greeted the steadfast
old patriot whenever he appeared on
the stage.

N1uoER BROWN IS COMING TO
 THE FRONT.
(ESom Fridays Daily)

Recent developments in the Niger Brown mine in the Black Canyon dis. trict indicate that this promising prop. crty will rank among the high grade ore producers of the county before many months, according to the state. mcnt of John <. Ross, who is supcrin. tending the development of the claim, which is owned by himself and George Tisdole of this city.
 In conversation with a Journal Miner representative, Mr. Ross said: "Our shaft is now down to a depth of 17j feet and in the last fifteen feet it is in lime and porphyry contact, m which pnystrcak of sulphidc ore i. being opened, the thickness of wnich has not yet been determined, and some of which carries as high as s3s0 to the ton in gold, with small copper values.
 "Thc shaft is being pusncd down as rapidly as possible and when the 200. foot level is reached station will De cut and the lime and porphyry contact crosscut, with . view of [. -pnstrating inc size and trend of tLe new ore body"
 The mine is equipped with hoist. ing plant, and the eight claims com. prising the group, located about twelve miles south of Turkey Station. on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, and one and onchalf miles south of Rumble Bee, cover valuable water and timber rights
 The Niger Brown claim is among the oldest locations in the district. which was noted as gold producer as far back as 1865. Caved in works oi the miners of early days are met with All through the mountains of the dis. trict, and many stone cabins with port. holes. still standing. recall the time when the pioneer miner brnved tho dangers of the country, then infested by bloodthirsty Apaches, in search of the hidden treasures in its mountains
