A Principle of Life Illustrated.
There ore certain plants—the dod
der, for instance, which begin life with
the best intentions, etrike true roots
into the soil, and really appear as if
they meant to be independent for life.
But after supporting themselves for a
brief period they fix curious sucking
discs into the stem and branches of ad
jacent plants. And after a little ex
perimenting the epiphyte finally ceases
to do anything for its own support,
thenceforth drawing all ita supplies
ready made from the sap of its host.
In this parasitic state it has no need
for organs of nutrition of its own and
nature takes them away. Thence
forth the dodder is a plant without a
root, without a twig, without a leaf,
and having a stem so useless as to be
inadequate to bear its own weight.—

Furlough and Leave of Absence.
With the return of the volunteers
from active duty the terms "furlough"
and "leave of absence" have been em
ployed frequently, and in many in
stances improperly. A furlough is a
permission given by a commissioned
officer to an enlisted man or noncom
missioned officer to be absent from
duty for a certain length of time.
Leave of absence is the term used when
a like permrsßion is given to a com
missioned offioer by his superior.—New

Ore Mistakes of ■ Eastern Capitalist*
la Neglecting to Hunt Up Desir
„: able Mining Investments.
One of the gr«*t mistakes made by
Eastern capitalists is to seek only for
developed mines to purchase, says tbe
Mining World. As a general thing,
owners of mines wbiob can be worked
at a substantial profit have no need to
look for purchasers, and are not apt to
look for them. It is for this reason
that those who came to the West for
mines are disappointed; that, while
they are offered partly developed or
opened properties, the paying or going
mines are not then for sale, except at
what they consider high prices. After
a man or company has prospected,
opened and . brought to a producing
point a good mine, it is worth as much
to them as any one. and tbe owners are
unwilling to sell except at a good profit,
in fact, such properties are seldom
offered for sale. People have to hunt
them up, and then have hard work to
get a bond on them, the owners gen
erally preferring to keep on working.
There are great numbers of "going"
mines, with the necessary machinery,
in the West, but the owners do not let
them be "peddled" around for pro
motel s to bargain with.
Smelter Changes Hands.
The Tacoma smelter is to be the
largest on the Pacific coast. Three
hundred thoueand dollars will be ex
pended at once in increasinsg its capa
city and the reorganized company which
now owns the smelter has unlimited
capital at its command. Th 9 smelter
is to be controlled by the Bunker Hill-
Sullivan mine at Wardner, Idaho, the
largest and richest mine in the Coeur
d'Alene district; the Alaska-Tread
well, Alaska-Mexican, and Alaska-
United States at Douglas island, three
of the largest mines in the North.
Back of these properties is the wealth
of D. O. Mills and other New York
capitalists, and the Exploration Com
pany, of London, dominated by the
Rothschilds. Henry Bratnober, the
Rothschilds' confidential agent and one
of the shrewdest mining men in the
country, is a stockholder in the new
company. W. R. Rust, of Tacoma,
continues as its manager.
Increase of Gold.
The year of 1898 shows a big increase
In the production of gold throughout
the world. The total is estimated at
1276,000,000, divided as follows:
South Africa $ 75,000,000
Australia 85,000,000
United States 60,000.000
Russia 80,000,000
Other countries 45,000.000
Total 1275.000,000
The output of the Klondike, included
in the above, is estimated at $12,000.
--000. The Klondike data is most inter
esting. The exact figures, as they have
come to the directors of the United
States mint, are $10,055,270. Of this
$5,070,000 was handled by the assay
office at Seattle, and $4,985,270 was
turned in for coinage at the San Fran
cisco mint.
An Important Deal.
An important mining deal has been
consummated at Eureka, Cal. Moston
mine, in the northern part of Hum
boldt county, owned by J. J. Moston,
Peter Hamner, Jacob Kahlke, J. L.
Collison and Mrs. E. Welty, compris
ing 8,000 acres of placer mining
ground, has been sold to Charles Poote,
of Chicago, for $145,000. Foote has
already commenced development work
with a force of 85 men, and will begin
hydraulicking early next year.
Iron Worki Consolidated.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Union iron works was held last week
for the purpose of increasing the capital
stock and for the purpose of ratifying
the consolidation of that company with
the Reid Machine Company, at Spo
kane. Three new brick buildings have
been recently erected and several thou
sand dollars' worth of machinery
added. The company has several
months' work ahead and contracts are
piling up rapidly.
Soap Works Sold.
The Findley soap works, of Van
couver, B. C, have been purchased by
the Royal Crown Soap Company, of
Winnipeg. This company now prac
tically controls the trade of the North
west, and has a capital stock of $250,
--000. The new owners contemplate
erecting a new building which will be
fully equipped with modern machinery
and a thoroughly efficient staff will be
•mployed.
Acreage in Oregon. -
From east to west Oregon is 870
milea acrose, and 270 miles across from
north to south, giving it an area of 96,
--000 square miles. The acreage is great
er than that of all the New England
states, West Virginia and Delaware
added, or greater than the aggregate
of New York, Pennsylvania and Dela
ware, or lowa and Ohio, or Illinois
and Louisiana, or of the total area of
England, Sootland and Wales.
Shipment of Apples.
L. A. Porter, of Lewiston, Idaho, is
arranging to ship 28 carloads of apples
—nine to Minnesota, seven to Grand
Foiks, N. D., and twelve to Omaha.
Mr. Porter received an order from
Philip Armour, the millionaire, for a
special shipment of apples.
Salmon; Season: Closed.*
The Columbia river salmon canneries
have closed their fall season with a
pack estimated at 115,000 oases. The
amount of fall salmon pat ap is the
largest in the history of the Colnmiba,
and the prices paid were among the
best. The spring paok on the Colum
bia reached 888,500 cases and the total
for the year is thus placed at 489,500.
In all the camps of Baker City gold
fields development of quartz properteis
is active.
The scarcity of water for mining
purpose* was not confined to Oregon
alone. The comparative drouth which
prevailed daring the past year oat
down the output of gold in California
folly 89 per oent. and that state is con
sequently not in the race with Colo
rado, where placer mining is a second
wry industry.
Portland box factories have received;
•eveial orders from British Colombia
this season for prone boxes. The mills
in the province were not able to supply
the local demand, «1 though they hart
been running on full time lately
MUSTERING OUT.
Volunteer Army Will Be Reduoed by
V 3*,00© Men.
New Tork, Deo. I.—A special to the
Herald from Washington says: One
of the first results of the deteiruination
of the peace negotiations at Paris will
be an order for the mastering out of as
many as 80,000 men of the voiuneter
army. The orders thus far cover about
85,000 men, but not rooe than 85,000
have actually been mustered out.
The present army consists of about
180,000 men, exclusive of all ordered
mustered out, 52,000 of whom are reg
ulars. The forces contemplated for
the islands are:
For the Philippines, 20,000; for
Porto Rico, about 7,000; for Cuba,
not more than 80,000.
This, on the basis of 75,000 men for
the regular establisnment —which is
the number now reckoned on by com
petent military forecaster here—will
leave 20,000 men for frontier and sta
tion work in this country. Secretary
Alger recommends 100,000 men.
There are now 30,000 volunteers,
who are entirely useless, in view of the
technical cessation of hostilities. Or
ders fox the mustering out of these will
be issued without delay, which will
leave 100,000 men in the army. It
was recalled by army officers that the
regular army of 25,000 men has never
been up to its limit of enlisted strength,
and that the army of 6a,000 men under
the Hull bill lacked 10,000 of complete
enlistment.
Secretary Alger iefused to say
whether he would ask for more pay for
enlisted men, bat it is asserted that it
will be impossible to secure the enlist
ment of 75,000 men unless there be
granted greater pay than $13 a month
for each man. An increase of pay for
privates in the service will be one of
the almost ceitain developments of leg
islation for army reorganization, the
argument being based upon the danger
ous climates to be endured in the new
possessions.
The New Army.
Washington, Deo. I.—There is re
newed talk of reorganization of the
regular army by the present session of
congress, and that a bill is now under
preparation by the war department.
RAN ON A REEF.
Steamer Detroit Wrecked on Shelter
Island— Pattengeri and Crew Saved.
Seattle, Deo. 1. —The steamer Cot
tage City, from Alaska, brings news of
the wreck of the steamer Detroit on
Shelter island. Her crew and passen
gers, numbering 27, were saved.
The Detroit ran between Juneau and
Haines Mission. While making her
regular run Thanksgiving day she
struck a reef on Shelter island. The
weather was terribly thick and a heavy
snow etorm raging. The rock toie
great holes in her, as the engines
pounded themselves to pieces, en
deavoring to drag her from her rock
bound position. The water poured
through her, and had it not been for
the tightness in wihch she was held by
the rooks she would have gone down,
drowning all on board.
The passengers and crew were land
ed on Shelter island, where they are
housed with scarcely any provisions,
under tarpaulins.
The purser and two seamen went to
Juneau in a email boat for relief, arriv
ing there just before the Cottage City
left. They say the survivors are in a
critical condition, shivering with cold
around a fire and without food.
A steamer has gone to the rescue with
relief.
Smokeless Powder Factory Burned.
Pinole, Cal., Dec I.—A disastrous
firo at the works of the California Pow
der Company today destroyed several
buildings and much valuable ma
chinery in the gun-cotton department,
entailing a loss of $25,000 and the tem
porary discontinuance of the manufac
ture of smokeless powder. The com
pany had just made a contract with the
United States government to supply an
immense quantity of smokeless powder.
Regalara May Go to Manila.
San Francisco, Dec. I.—A rumor is
current at army headquarters that be
tween now and January 1, 5,000 sol
diers will be brought here to embark
for the Philippines. It is expected
that the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sev
enth, Thirteenth and Twentieth in
fantry will be assigned to duty on the
islands and that some of the volunteers
etationetd there will be returned to this
country for mustering out.
Trial of Oakland Brutes.
Oakland, Cal., Dec. I.— The trial of
W. A. Brandes, accused of the murder
of his 15-year-old daughter, has been
set for December 1. He broke down
in court and wept when the charge was
read. His wife will be tried on the
same charge on December 6. She is
quite unconcerned, and, like her hus
band, has pleaded not guilty. They
are accused of having beaten the child
to death and then made it appear to be
a case of suicide.
Sealing Question Unsettled.
Washington, Nov. 80.—The Behring
eea question has reached saoh an ad
vanoed stage in the considerations of
the Anglo-American commission that a
special meeting was held today to hear
the report of the committee. After
over two hours devoted to considering
the report and the views of the re
spective sides, it was stated that no
conclusion had been reached.
London, Dec. I.—The Daily Mail
this morning makes the following an
nouncement:
"We are able to state that on the in
vitation of the secretary of state for the
colonies, Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
some English capitalists have indicated
their readiness to endeavor to revive
the sugar industry in the West Indies
if bounties are abolished. Sir Thomas
Lipton is prepared to spend 1,000,000
pounds, and it is believed that some ar
rangements will be arrived at."
All on Board Perished.
Halifax, N. S-. Deo. L—An unknown
four-masted vessel is ashore at Herring
Cove, at the entrance to Halifax har
bor. One body was washed ashore.
The vessel is fore and aft rigged. All
on board hare perished.

IN A STORM'S CLUTCHEB.
A Blizzard Raged in the North Atlantic
_ and New England States.
New York, Nov. 29.—When the peo
pie of New York awoke th morning,
they found the blizzard that raged when
they retired was still in progress. '/; The
storm, which began with a soft, sleety
snow Saturday at noon, increased
greatly as the day wore on, with heav
ier snow fall and the wind blowing i a
gale at midnight. There was a slight
abatement of the wind this morning,
but the enow still fell and drifted bad
ly and the temperature' dropped rap-
idly.
It looked this morning as though the
blizzard would continue all day, but at
10 o'clock there was a breaking away
in the west, and finally the storm
ceased altogether, and the severest
blizzard since the memorable blizzard
of March, 1888, came to an end. The
wind blew at the rate of 59 to 60 miles
an hour during the height of the
storm.
A number of people are reported
fiozen to death, and the property dam
age ia heavy.
At Boston.
Boston, Nov. 29.—A record-breaking
November blizzard swept over the
greater portion of New England last
night and today completely demoral
izing traffic of every description and
well night paralyzing telegraphic and
telephonic, communication, while the
northeast gale, coming on at high course
of tides, drove the sea far beyond its
usual limits and made a maik along
shore exceeded only by the memorable
hurricane of 1851. A dozen or more
coasting vessels were driven ashore in
Boston harbor during the blizzard, and
the great ocean steamer Ohio, of the

Philadelphia Storm-Swept.
Philadelphia, Nov. 29.—The bliz
zard which came out of the West
reached this city at 11 o'clock yester

1 o'clock this morning. As unepxected

havoc not only here, but throughout
the entire state.
NO EXTRA SESSION.
President McKlnley and Many Promi
nent Men Oppose It.
Washington, Nov. 29.—President
McKinley will try to avoid an extra
session, if that is possible. In this
effort he is likely to be seconded by a
large number of publio men both
branches of congress and of both par
ties. Public policy will dictate the
desires of some and selfishness that ot
others. President McKinley will make
every effort to have the peaoe treaty
laid before congress immediately after
the holidays. He hopes to have it rat
ified before the adjournment in March.
Meanwhile, it is expected that a bill
will pass for the reorganization of the
army, so that garrisons for the new
possessions will be provided for. Prob
ably will be passed providing for the
temporary government of the Philip
pines and Porto Rico, and possibly
Cuba, by the army officers oommand
ing in each, until congress oan provide
otherwise. Then congress will provide
for commissions to visit the different
islands and make recommendations
for their government to the next con
gress. That is fne scheme which will
be followed if there is no extra session,
and if everything goes through aa
plannod.
Added to the Nary.
San Francisco, 2?ov. 29.—At 0:23
o'clock this morning, in the presence
of a vast multitude, the battle-ship
Wisconsin was successfully launched at
the Union iron works. The Wisconsin
is the largest of the vessels built for the
United States government at this ship
yard.
;. : Bullfighting- Not In Favor. Vi
Denver. Nov. 29.—The committee in
charge of arrangements for the coming
convention of the ' National Livestock
Association has rejected a proposition
to make bullfighting a feature of the
Outdoor sports on that occasion. How
ever, a typical Western cowboy tourna
ment will %be \ given. Broncho-riding,
rough riding and roping and lassoing

the exciting operations usually associ
ated with cowboy life on the plains
