DONLAH CROSSCUT IS
 NOT PROMISING MUCH

Finding their pay extremely limited on Snow Gulch, Smeaton and Larson. the first stakers of the country have turned their attention to the cross cut ting of Donlun creek below the mouth of Snow, but from the latest reports this work has proved most discourag- ing. Although Donlan at this point is not more than 1000 feet wide, they have put down 20 holes without results This takes them nearly across the valley, and would seem to prove con clusively that there is no paystreak on Donlan.

A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
Tho Sea Cucumber Can Part With and

Tho Sea Cucumber Can Part With and
Replace lite Organs.
Among the curious animals which in
habit the sea we may take the holo-
thuria, or sea cucumber, so called from
Its resemblance to the cucumber.
When this animal is attacked by an
enemy 1t does not stand up and fight,
but by a sudden movement 1t elects its
teeth, stomach, digestive apparatus
and nearly all its intestines and then
shrivels It's body up to almost nothing.
When, however, the danger is past
the animal commences to replace the
organs which 1t has voluntarily parted
with, and In a short time the animal
Is as perfect as ever 1t was.
DR.. Johnstone kept one in water for
long time. and one day he forgot to
change the water. The creature in
consequence elected its intestines and
shriveled up, but when the water was
changed all Its organs were repro
duced. Although the animal is not
eaten In Europe, 1t Is favorite with
the Chinese, and the fishing forms an
important part of the industry of the
east. Thousands Of junks are annual
ly used In fishing for trepang, as the
animals are called.--London Tit-Bits.

Cows That Never Drink.

The wild cow" of Arabia, in reality
an antelope. the Beatrix oryx, is said
never to drink. which is probably cor
rect, for unless these animals can de-
scend the wells they can find no drink
ing water for ten months In the year.
There Is no surface water, and rain
falls but precariously during the win
ter. Only once during my journey did
/ find a pool of rainwater, caught in a
hollow rock. and even this | should
have passed by without knowing OF
Its existence had not my camels sniff
ed it from distance and obstinately
refused to be turned from going In
that direction. These antelope. how
ever. are provided by nature with u
curious food supply, especially design
ed as thirst quencher. This is a
parasite which grows on the roots of
the desert bushes and forms long
spadix full of water and juice. The
antelope dig deep holes In the sand in
order to get at these.-Wide World

MR.. BARRETT's VOTE.

The action OF q. A. Barrett in
voting for Jay Bowerman. the leader
of the assemElyites. for president Of
the senate. is bitterly characterized by
some of his supporters as being a re-
pudiation Of the principles of the plat
form on which he was elected to the
state senate in the recent campaign.
The joint senator from Umatilla.
Morrow and Union counties fought
through the campaign as the cham
pion Of the anti-assemblyitss and won
over DIR. Hall of Union county. the
democratic candidate. Therefore his
support given to Jay Bowerman at the
first turn Of the political wheel, is
causing ali kinds of comm ent in the
ranks Of his erstwhile supporters.
II don't believe that Barrett will
do it, and will not believe it until /
see his name printed along with the
rest Of the Bowerman voters. II be
does turn to Bowerman and vote for
him. / am through with Barrett pol
itioally, forever" These are the
words expressed by Oliver Diokenson,
well known farmer. who was a
stanoh supporter of Mr.. Barrett In
the recent campaign.
The reasons for Mr.. Barrett's
change of front are as yet left to
great extent to conjecture. Several
are advanced. One is that he went
over to Bowerman that Plamondon
might secure the appointment as su-
'perintendent of the Eastern Oregon
insane asylum; another, that he
trafficked with the Furnish wing OF
the.party before the election, the bar
gain teing that be was to receive sup
port from that element in exchange
for his vote to Jay Bowerman for the
presidency of the senate in event West
won over Bowerman for governor.
However that may be, the real reason
seems to be hidaen at this time, but
the fact remains that his vote for
Bowsrman discloses some sort of a
IDEAL" and that hc does not wear the
same lining in his political coat that
be did when he defeated Fred Wilson
in'the primaries and DR.. Hall in the
election.

If he lost the first two and made the
third the money was his. and. by the
way, he used twelve gauge, full

was five drains of black powder with

or had them loaded according tc his
directions.
While shooting in England his load
was challenged by one of his defeated
rivals, who asserted that the cham
pion's phenomenal scores were the re-
suit of his superior shells. The cap
tain suggested that in their next match
both contestants should Use his am

eagerly consented The captain was
delighted. for well he knew what would
happen to the action of the light and
delicate English gun under such
charge. Before the match had pro-
