IT'S STHEN'S MOUNTAIN.

The director of the u. S. Geo
logical Survey wrote to DR.. Mars
den recently for information a.
to the proper spelling and pro
nunciation of the name "Steen'.
Mountain" The doctor replied
giving information and also sug.
gested in regard to the names of
both "Donner and Bitten" and
"Harney" Lake. DR.. Marsder
suggested the Indian name foi
Harvey Lake which is 'Tona-
wanna"
The mountain referred to has
been the source of more or less
confusion for some time as it has
always been spelled STEMS" but
pronounced Stems" 1t is in
teresting to note that the depart
ment has adopted Stems"
Bancroft's History of Oregon
relates that in August, 1860, Ma
jor E. Steen, who was sent on
an expedition into the Eastern
Oregon country by General Har-
ney, discovered signs of the
enemy on the north slope of a
high butte, which now bears the
name of Steen Mountain, and on
the morning of the eighth a small
party of Indians was surprised
and fled to the very top of this
butte to the region of perpetual
snow, hotly pursued by the
troops. Arrived at the summit,
the descent on the south side,
down which the Indians plunged,
seemed impassable; but, with
more Zeal than caution, Steen
taking his whole COM
mand. consisting of one hundred
dragons and sixty-five artillery
men. down a descent of 5000
feet, through a narrow and dam
gerous canon, with a loss of but
one mule.
Following is a letter recently
received which is dated at Wash
ington, March 6, and addressed
to the doctor:
Dear Sir:-Your kind letter
is at hand. giving the origin of
the name of Stems Mountain,
and on submitting this evidence
to the committee on geographical
names the above spelling was
adopted.
On all maps that have seen,
The name of the river heading in
his mountain is given as Donner
md Blitzen", and the question
mas not yet arisen as to the sub
,titution of the dutch "Dunder." F."
II think "Harney" Lake will
nave to remain as such, for | do
lot believe its Indian name has
,ver appeared on maps of recog.
lized standing or in official re-
,orts, and there is little or no
for its adoption. No
loubt there are Indian terms for
many features of the county,
'ut as these have not become
known, while English
lames have been used, the latter
yill probably stand"

Mines company of Spokane, represent
ed by J. L. Harper. general manager,
to the Pearl Consolidated Mining COM
pany for its Lone StarSurprise group
of claims in the Republic district in
Stevens county. Wash. The Pearl
company was represented by Charles
P. Robbins. The property has the
largest and richest ore shoot yet de-
veloped in the camp. 1t is nearly 300
feet in length on the surface and has
been opened to depth of 100 feet.
Five men working on lease extracted
So, 900 worth of ore in 80 days last
summer on this shoot. known as the
Surprise. At the expiration of the
lease the owners OF the Pearl would
not consider the offer of bonus and
royalty for an extension. L. w. An
derson, president of the Republic
company, announces that large force
of men will be put at work at once.
The ore will be shipped to Tacoma
and boundary smelters.
Directors of the Pittsburg Lead
Mining company. operating near Wal
lace, Idaho. have received an offer
from an eastern syndicate, which pur-
poses to expend $500 a month during
the period of a year. the lessees to
pay royalty of 20 per cent of the net
smelter returns from all ores extract
ed; that they shah have the option to
purchase the property of the Pitts
burg Lead Mining company, including
the holdings of the California Consol-
idated Mining company, during the
term of this lease for $4,000. The
proviso is that all payments made on
account of royalty. shall constitute

gineers visited the property in the

torily settled. The Stewart Is fully
developed mine, according to stock
holders and in their opinion will be

ABSECON IN LINE

AT the regular Councilmanic
session held on Friday evening
plans were formulated whereby the
city will at once proceed to curb
and pave the sidewalks of property
holders of Shore Road south of the
railroad, in case the latter fail to
comply with the ordinance; if per
formed by the city the cost thereof
will be assessed as lien against
the property as provided by statute.
The attention Of the governing
body was absorbed in seriously con
sidering the idea Of modifying this
ordinance relating to the curbing
and paving Of sidewalks with ce-
ment or stone SO as to affect other
streets of the city. 1t is quite like
ly that property holders on Ohio
avenue and those on New JERSEY
avenue as far north as the point
where New Road intersects eacl
of these streets, also those on Shor
Road proper as far up as Gran
berry Greek, will soon be required
to build and pave their sidewalks
Action was however deferred until
subsequent meeting.

unbeliever's evidence carries no weight.
for the Bible itself says that 'to the un-
believer the preaching of the gospel is
foolishness. Then there are the Prophe
cies. Read them, compare them line for
line with history. What mere man could
so accurately foretell those great events
covering over two thousand years, as in
the case of the Prophet Daniel?
Then there is above all else, the ex
perience that comes over the real con
vert, when he is reborn, regenerated ;
when he sees the folly Of leading a life
that places wealth, worldly pleasures.
social position or political power above
obedience to, and service of GOD AL
MIGHTY.
When the convert lays his burden on
CHRIST, believing in and carrying into
practice the teachings of our Saviour, a
new light shines before the previously
lost soul. and though at first he may
lose friends, position, money and worldly
power, yet he knows he has sighted the
beacon that will land him safe into the
harbor of eternal peace and happiness.
But until man is willing to see his
faults and sins, and to abandon them.
there is little or no hope of the CHRIST
light entering his soul. First conviction
Of sin, then forgiveness, salvation and re-
demption.
Of course man should perform his
duties to home, town, county, state and
Nation. To do that he should use every
honest endeavor to oust officials who
stand for and by violation of just laws.
Render, unto GOD the things that are
GODS, and unto Caesar the things that
are Caesars.

CIIANGE-NO CHANGE
LIKELY

The concensus of opinion of
nen generally is that the Board Of
Education, by their latest action
n the Marsteller case, has made
amends for that of two weeks ago.
At that time there was one prevail
ing idea in the minds Of the mem
bers-oust the former supervisor
at all hazards. 1t is every mans
privilege to change his mind, and
he critics are apparently gratified
because, if Marsteller does takc
employment in his Williamstown
field, he will not carry with hin,
he sum of $500 which was voted
at a previous Board meeting.
Mr.. Marsteller has not proclaim
d his intentions from the house
tops, as to whether he shall remain
in the employ of Pleasantville's
Board Of Education and conse-
luently there are those who art
wondering.
A late rumor make it appear
that a resignation may occur; III
this event Mr.. Mark Sanders, an
avowed anti-principal man, may
serve the unexpired term.
