FIND THE MEAN PEOPLE.
Mail Carriers Also Learn to Know the
Nicest People I'm the World.

Christmas was here just a week
ago. Naturally one would imagine
that the extra work of the letter car
riers was at an end. But such is not
the case, says the Eugene Guard
Christmas presents are still arriv-
ing and in addition, the return cards
of registered packages sent out by
Eugene people are beginning to get
here. Every one of them has to be
delivered. Consequently the mail men
are still busy bodies, working unusu-
ally hard.
Christmas comes but once year."
a letter carrier said this morning,
'and l wish 1t would come but once
in five years or every 10. Troubles?
Well, we have them and lots of hard
work during this season Of the year.
People are always looking for some
thing in the mail, not only during the
Christmas week, but all the time.
Some people seem to imagine that
II is our fault that we do not bring
them just what they want. If there
Is nothing for them they are in a bad
humor, and we get jumped on prop
er. And we can't talk back-Uncle
Sam doesn't allow that.
"If you ever want to study human
nature in its natural state, just come
along with me some day. Or better
still, enter the service of the govern
ment as a mail carrier. You'll see it
then and lots of 1t, But I guess it's
all in the course of human events so
here goes for another round Of my
route.
Don't misunderstood me-some
of the incest people in the world live
along the streets where deliver
mail, And in many cases right oppo-
site them live the meanest people to
be found anywhere. And / am the
go-between."

as truly as were the miracles record

Whatever difference there may be be-
tween the men who make these two
sums is God-given, and the million
men should realize that fact and live
accordingly.

the men capable of .accumulating

accumulations arising from these tall

TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Well Known UmatiIIh Quarter-Brecd
Despondent Over Losses.


The Walla Walla Bulletin tells the
Following story Of an attempt at sui
eide by Joe st. Dennis, a well known
quarter-breed Of the reservation dis
trict:
Rendered despondent because OF
excessive drinking and the loss OF his
money Joe st. Dennis, a quarter
breed Umatllla Indian, who has been
around Walla Walla for years, made
several unsuccessful attempts to COM
NIT suicide in II. f. Davis barber
shop on West Main street, about 1880
o'clock this afternoon. He was pre-
vented frohS carrying out his design

fulness Of II. F. Davis, Jack Fitch
and ]. E. Davis, who were in the
shop. st. Dennis was arrested by Of
flcer Rolf and locked up.
Late this afternoon his friends Sc
cured his release, promising to watch
him carefully. The police say he is
violent when intoxicated.
According TO II. F. Davis, the pro-
prietor, st. Dennis entered the shop
this afternoon and asked permission
to shave himself Seeing that st.
Dennis was intoxicated, Mr.. Davis
refused, telling him that he didn't
want to shave, but was trying to kill
himself. st. Dennis admitted that he
wanted to end 1t all because he had
lost his money
He then tried to grasp one Of the
razors, but was prevented. Mr.. Davis
agreed to shave the man, and ST
Dennis lay back in the chair, having
lathered himself. Davis shaved only
the mans cheeks and kept the razor
away from the mans throat Twice
st. Dennis tried to throw himself

Why Wait For Others?

Many really promising mining
camps in the west are kept in the
background, and their Development
and advancement are slow merely be-
cause mine owners and holders of
prospects are content to postpone de-
velopment until they see what sue
cess rewards the efforts of their
neighbors. This class seems to over
look the fact that if the claims they
own are possessed of any value they
are worthy of exploitation. Waiting
for the transformation of adjoining
property into Il profitable produc. r
does not tend to the Development OF
a camp. The success of one prop
erty does not necessarily mean that
the next claim is a banana; aud yet
little systematic and intelligent
work may prove that it is the b,st IF

Paradise Strike Of Importance.

The strike made recently by Blu
ford & Myers is increasing in i'm
portance as the work of sinking pro-
ceeds. The shaft has been timbered
to a depth of about IA feet, and fur
Their sinking may now be done.
Timbering was necessary because
of the soft ground, which finally led
into a small cave. There has been
some ore nearly all time, one assay
of which showed 1874 per cent. lead
and "A OF. silver. In the bottom OF
the cave, however, there has been
found a pocket or vein of richer ore
dipping southwark. This ore contains
carbonate of lead, also silver, and ap-
parently good values in both, though
assay figures on it are not yet at
hand
The extent of the rich ore is not
known, but those acquainted with
lead ore, after examining the forma-
tions including the cave, are of the
opinion that deposit of considerable
dimensions is closely by. The occur
renee of lead here being more in the
form of pocket than vein, d des-
cription of the extent of the rich ore
to date can not be given very accur-
ately. And of course it has not been
thoroughly opened up yet. On Thurs
day, however, solid ore of this class
had been taken out of a space about
4 feet square, and to depth of sew
eral feet. The formations are said
to be similar to those of the Leadville
from which 50 cars of lead-silver ore
have been shipped. The Leadville
ore averaged 40 per cent. lead and
from to u OF. silver.
1t is the intention of the owners to
make shipments to the smelter. The
ore is unusually rich in iron, and con
tains little or no silica or zinc; hence
the treatment charges will, it is be-
LEVIED, be light. 1t is a down hill
haul all of the way to the depot al
Rodeo, y miles, so the transportation
expenses would not be heavy.
This property is adjacent to the
Black Queen group, on Silver creek
and close to Fink 81 Shaw.

Prof. Carl Won Noorden, one of the
greatest medical experts in Europe,
has uttered an emphatic prote st
against wives who overGeed their
husbands. Addressing Il number OF
prominent scientists on the subject
of Food and Nourishment," pro-
fessor Won Noorden declared that the
reason 50 many men begin to get fat
Immediately after they have married
is because their wives give them Cheir
favorite dishes on every possible &C
cassion. In order to keep slim, said
Prot. Won Noorden of persons should
avoid butter. cream and sweets, and
eat bread and potatoes in moderation
only. Lean meat and large quantities
of green vegetables, salads, and raw
or cooked fruits should form the prin-
cipal part of their diet.

the two, and it might be enabled to
find place on the shipping list long
before its neiGhbor, upon which
active work is under way. In a GER
tain sense it is really cowardly for
the claimholder to sit idly by in an
ticipation, while his more energetic
neighbor is working day after day in
doing exploratory work. A camp of
non-workers is no good, no matter
how rich the naturalization may be,
and the droncs of the district fail to
realize the fact that a strike does
not make Il mine, and that even two
or three mines do not make a great
district
The waiting class did not make
Goldield; and in the early histo DRY OF
this great camp claimholders did not
stand around to see if a few hustlers
met with success. On the contrary,
every man got in and dug, and al
most unprecedented success was the
the west all is activity and progress;
and not because the surface showing
is better than is the case in other
districts, but because claim owners
haye the courage OF their cOnvic-
tions, and believe the property they
possess is as good as any to be found
in the camp, and they do not rest
until they have demonstrated the
correctness Of this belief
What the mining camps of the
west need is workers; not waiters.-

The Clifton Laundry Company

The Clifton Laundry made its first
weeks run and while results as to the
quality of the work turned out did not
exactly suit the management OF the
company, yet the majority of the Gus
toners report satisfaction. Since the
crew was picked up and the cream of
the help retained the quality of the
work will improve from week to week.
The telephone company has now in
stalled our phone making it possible
for our customers to call us up and
have our delivery wagon respond on
short notice. This is a white mans
enterprise and we hope that all Cliff
ton people will take interest enough
in it to assure u of their good will
and patronage. When such assur-
ance is forthcoming we will without
delay install an up-to-date steam
plant which will be a credit to city
much larger than Clifton. Phone
