Lee Ong Quonz had been employed by O. Hyde. On Wednesday he was discovered in a semi- conscious state, there being evidence that he had been eating opium. orts to save his life were unavailing. The ver- dict of the Coroner’s jury was that he had taken opium with suicidal intent. LOST 1§ THE FOG ON TEMELPAIS Perilous Climb of Two Ladies and a Gen- tleman. Applied at 8 O’clock in the Morning for Food at the Summit Hotel. A Story of Hardship and Fatigue Told to Manager Cowley on the Mountain. MILL VALLEY, CaL, May 2.—A party of three, two ladies and a gentleman, ap- plied for admission at about 3 o'clock Fri- day morning at the Tavern of Tamalpais on the summit of the mountafn. They did not leave their names, but they pre- sented a sorry spactacle to Fred Cowley, the manager of the hotel, who got out of bed to answer thelr summons. They said that they had come from San Francisco and left Mill Valley in the afternoon to walk to the top of Tamalpais, but when they had covered half the dis- tance the fog rolled in from the ocean and osing their way they had been wandering about in the chaparral in an effort to reach some habitation where they could obtain a bite to eat, as they were almost famished. The ladies were well-nigh ex- hausted, and the gentleman, whom Mr. Cowley describes as short and heavy-set, with black whiskers, waswell worn out. They told of the hours they had spent picking their way through the brushes in the pitchy darkness with the cold, pene- trating fog scaking their clothes. Their bedraggled appearance bore out their statements, and after they had partaken of refreshments they were assigned rooms and spent the remsainder of the morning in the hotel. The formality of registering their names was not complied with. After breakfast they resolved to attempt to walk down the mountain rather than t for the afternoon train. hey walked down the trails and after a couple of hours’ tramping came upon the track of the mountain road, having again lost their way. They met a San Francisco attorney, J. M. Wright, who was walking along the track, and inquired of him where they were. He informea them that they were within 100 yards of the hotel on the summit. Theiwr surprise knew no bounds for they bhad after two hours’ tramping brought up within a few hundred feet of the spot from which they had started. They returned to the hotel resolving to trust no further experiences and left for the metropolis on the after- noon train. They were pretty well fagged out and the rough experience had told hard on thejladies. NEWS OF MARE ISLAND. Rear-Admiral Kirkland to Inquire Into the Cause of the Oregon Disaster. VALLEJO, CAL., May 2.—Rear-Admiral Kirkland and Lieutenant Hetherington will go up to the Port Orchard naval station to inquire into the grounding of the battle-ship Oregon, prior to its being taken to the drydock. The inquiry will be held by order of the Secretary of the Navy, by request of Captan Barker, in command of the Oregon. A court has been in session at the yard during the past week with Captain Louis Kempff as_president, to examine 1nto the conduct of Lieutenant . S. Carter of the Independence, he having, it is said, in letters used language more emphatic than polite to the father of a boy who had shipped as an apprentice, but had de- seried. The father, not relishing the tenor of the lieutenant's missives, for- warded them to the Secretary, who or- dered the court convened. The survey ship Thetis is azain at the vard, after an absence of several months. Ivis expected that the Thetis will go out of commission and the officers and men ve transferred to other ships in the squadron. Sl Wind Mtorm at Pacifio Grove. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL, May 2.—A windstorm has prevailed here for the past two days. It reached its greatest severity &bout 5 o’clock yesterday evening, and is said to have been the worst that has swept tnis vicinity in twoyears. Nogreat damage was done to property except in the matter of fences being blown over and ornamental trees being broken and in some cases the smaller ones being up- rooted, but the waves along the bay shore were iashed to such fury that considerable havoc was wrought about the bathing beach, where extensive improvements have lately been made. At the high tide of yesterday the breakers ran so high that the Southern Pacific Company’s track was badly wsshed, and iu several places the rocks which form the buttress along the water's edge weredislodged, necessitat- ing immediate repairs. Even 1n the shel- tered harbor of Monterey some of the fish- ing boats broke loose from their moorings and were with difficulty recovered. s R Santa Cruz Wins at Basebdall, SANTA CRUZ.

By the Secretary of the Manufacturers’ Association of the Northwest, PORTLAND, Or., April 30.—The at- tractions which naiure offersin *‘The Pa- cific Northwest” to the tourist, the health- seeker and the sportsman, in addition to the healthful and invizorating climate, are its scenery, its health and pleasure resorts and its hunting and fishing. It is but rarely that grand and im- pressive scenery is united in one section of country with the productive soil and wealth of natural resources, and, as a rule the enjoyment of the wonders which na- ture has produced in her fiercest moods, is (imted to those who Dossess the means and the leisure to travel considerable distances, and spend much time, to see and enjoy alone. Butin “The Pacific Northwest' is found, not only an equable and healthful climate, and all that boundless wealth of natural resources necessary for the great- est prosperity of a dense population, but in the greatest profusion and everywhere in easy reach, all the varieties of won- drous scenery which nature has yet pro- duced and which contributes so largely to the enjoyment of those that are alive to nature’s beauties. Here are the fertile, peaceful valleys, from the power and majesty of his mightY plunge. He has but one equal, but th one is here in Shoshone Falls, Idaho. Na® ture in the creation of ber wonders does not repeat herself. In the fertility of her genins she finds a charm for each of her creations peculiar to itself, and any at- tempt at & comparison of Shoshone with Niagara, save only in the pre-eminence of its grandeur, would be absurd. TheN ara prior to its plunge winds its way through a comperatively level country. The Snake comes plunging from its moun- tain sources, with many a cascade and cataract, forcing its way along its tortuous course, between rocky walls, until at Sho- shone the walls which form its boundaries and confine it toits bed rise straight above it on either hand to a height of hundreds of feet, while all along these walls is a velvety drapery of ferns and mosses, and here, amid & shower of pearls and dia- monds, and ever-changing, vanishing and reforming rainbows, the Tiver takes its final mighty vlunge. The volume of water is somewhat less, but the height is a third greater than Niaga: But we cannot do better than to give the eloquent description of this falls from the pen of Ricbardson: “The cataract is unequaled in the world save by Niagara, of which it vividly re- minds us. It is not all height like Yo- articies of commerce will increase in pro- portion to the demand, and the decrease | in the supply of merchantable timber in the lake States and other States which have long held the bulk of the lumbering business. Any discussion of the vossibi- lities 1n the forestry line necessarily in- volves estimates as to the gquantity of timber available for the requirements of commerce and suitable for the various uses to which it is to be put. The combination effected by the North Pacific Lumber Company, the Willamette Steam Mills and Manufacturing Company and Inman, Poulsen & Co. has done much to advance the lumber interests of the Northwest. These three concerns, repre- senting a capital of over $1,500,000, con- duct their business under the firm name of the Oregon Pine Lumber Company, with offices in the Chamber of Commerce building. The yards and mills of this triple organization cover an area of 120 acres, with over a mile of water front. Their railroad trackage is sufficient to allow of sixty cars being sidetracked on the company’s own switches at one time. ‘With such facilities for manufacturing and bandling Jumber the Oregon Pine Lumber Company is in position to do an immense annual business, which will grow as the requirements of the Pacific Coast trade advance. The great vlant of the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works, located on the Willamette water front, at the East Side approach to the Madison-street bridge, bears the same relation to Portland and the Northwest that the Union Iron Works does to San Francisco and California, It is the creative center for great enter_ THE IMPERIAL MOTEL .

Here are the rugged mountains, with their yawning chasms, rushing, roaring torrents, peaceful Alpine lakes, and grand old sentinels, rearing their lofty heads to the realm of eternal winter, and bearing on their sides glaciers, excelled by none in beauty or magnitude. And here are rivers of all degrees, and of all varieties. Of rivers, the Columbia is without a rival in the world in the grandeur of its scenery, as it has but fewin the volume of its waters, or the amount of country which it drains. Though otler rivers may here and there touch’ the borders of mountains, winding to one side on their way to the sea, or follow down their slopes, from their sources at the summits to the lower lands of the valleys, it alone has broken through these stern barriers, and crossed directlv through two mighty mountain chains, carving for itselt a way embattied by the lofty peaks which in- effectually resisted its onward march. In its gorge in_the Cascade Mountains the Columbia River offers scemery so grand, so majestic, so altogether different from aught eise of the kind that the world affords, that it is the wonder of all who behold it, and 8o real is its sublime gran- deur that tie wondsr but grows wita re- peated seeing. Here are the cliffs of the Yosemite, only greater in extent; the val- ley of the Yosemite, only longer and wider, and flowing through it all a_river more mighty than the Hudson, the Rhine or the Mississippi. Those who first see the Columbia in the giandeur of its passage through the Cas. cade Mountains are apt to fail in apprecl- ation of its other beauties. But between these mcuntains snd the sea it has a beauty all its own, which 1s unsurpassed by that of any other riverin the world. Of a varying width of from one and a half to three miles to within twenty milas of the ocean, i there widens to what might almost be called a bay of from six to ten miles in width, and from is point of Iunction with the Willamette, 100 miles rom the sea, it is of such volumeas to float the largest of ocean-going ships, Its scenery varies from the lowiands of the Mississippi in the immediate foreground, with the mountains of the Coast and Cas- cade ranges in the distance, to the Pali- sades and the rugged and precipitous banks of the Hudson or the Rhine. To tempt the hardy Alpine climber there are the snow-ciad pesks of the Three Sisters, Jefferson, Hood, st. Helens, Adams and Rainier, and here he may find the glaciers, and all degree of danger from slippery path, yawning chasm or faial crevasse that his heart may desire. From thess there are all grades down to the more gentle elevations, which alone tempt the less ambitious, who are content to do their mountain climbing on the back of a horse or mule, or seated in the comforta- ble stage coach or mountain wago Niagara has long been regarded as the most wondrous of cataracts, and far be it from us to seek, by ever so little, to take semite, ndrall breadth and power like the great Falis of the Missouri, nor all strength and volume like Niagara, but combines the three elements. “The torrant is less than Niagara, and its crescent summit appears less than 1000 feet wize. But the descent—210 feet—is one-third greater, while above the brink, solemn portals of lava rising for hundreds of feet on each bank supply an element of grandeur which the monerch of cataracts altogether lacks. The fall itself isof the purest white, interspersed with myriads of glittering, glassy drops—a cataract of snow with an avalanche of jowels, mock- ing and belittling all human splendor. Nature is here in her lace and pearls, her robe of diamonds and tiara of rainbow." Of falls of lesser magnitude, the num- ber is almost countless, and they vary in height from Multnomah Falls, situate on the south bunk of the Columbia, within the gorge of the Cascade Mountains, 850 feet in height, to the ordinary cataracts which are the wonaers of less favored lands. Crater Lake 1s situated in the northwestern portion of Klamath County, Oregon, and is best reached by leaving the Southern Pacific Railroad at Medfora, which is 328 miles south of Portland, and about eighty miles from the lake, which can be reached by a very good wagon road. The lake is about six miles wide and seven miles long, but 1t is not its size which is its beauty or its attraction. The surface of the water in the lake is 6256 feet above the level of the sea ana surrounded byecliffs or walls from 1000 to 2000 feet in height, which are scantily coyered with timber and offer at but one point a way of reaching the water. The depth of the water is very great and it is very transpar- ent and of deep blue color. Toward the southwestern portion of the lake is Wizard Island, 845 feet high, circular in shape and slightly covered with timber. In the top of this island is a depression or crater, the Witches’ Cauldron, 100 feet deep and 475 feet in diameter, which was evidentiy the last smoking chimney of a once mighty volcano and which is now covered within and without With volcanic rocks. North of this island and on the west side of the lake is Liao Rock, reachinz to a height of 2000 feet above the water and so perpendicular that a stone may be dropped from its summit to the waters at its base, nearly a half mile belpw, So far below the surrounding mountains is the surface of the waters in this lake that the mountain bre-zes rarely ripple them, and looking from the surrounding wall, the sky and cliffs are seen mirrored in the glassy surface, and it is with diffi- culty the eye can distinguish the line where the cliff leaves off and the reflected counterfeits begin. Lake Tahoe, so long the recoenized monarch of mountain lakes must hide its diminished head before one which has all its beauties, but is in eack a toousand times greater. Lumbering has been, is now and will continue to be for years to come the lead- ing manufacturing industry of the Pacific Northwestern States. The supply of standing timber is practicaliy unlimited, prises, which naturally seek a concern whose capacity iz equal to all demands which may be made upon it, both asto material ana workmanship, with due re- gard also to rapidity of corstruction. These qualifications are pre-eminent!y possessed by the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works, a fact which has now become 50 generally recog- nized and admitted that large contracts in metal work naturally gravitate to this concern. The proud position attained by Wolff & Zwicker, which has finally led to the allotment to them of a contract by the United States Government for the con- struction of two torpedo-boats, is due neither to original capital invested nor to the assistance of subsidies, The measure of success has been filled entirely by the 1ndomitable perseverance and untiring en- ergy of the proprietors themselves. The Government has more recently awarded Wolff & Zwicker another con- tract for the construction of two light ships and the shipyards of this company are probably the most active in the United States at this time. The Acme Mills Company of Portland, Or.. is engaged in turning out a product of the very highest standard. They are the exclusive Pacific Coast manufacturers of Ralston Health Foods under the United States copyright of the Purina Mills, Et. Louis, Mo., which bear the official in- dorsement of the Ralston Health Club, Martyn College, Washington, D. C. They are also sole manufacturers of sev- eral unexcelled cereal specialties. The grain used by this company is grown in the bigh, dry lands of the Northwest and is exceptionally rich in nitrates and phos- phates. A marvelous approach to real coffee is their Acme Healith Koffy. Ina word it is a perfect substitute for the real article in palatability and nourishment. The officers are D. S.

BICYCLE RACES AT SAUSALITO First Sunday Meeting‘ in the Town Across the Bay. Wheelman West Injured by a Fall in Wildwood Gulch. Close Contests Witnessed by Many Spectators—Marshal Creed’s Modesty. BAUSALITO, Car, May 2.—The first public bicycleraces held in Sausalito were witnessed to-day by a large crowd. Water street was lined on either side by young ladies in summer costumes, who with their escorts cheered the riders ag ih.y sped past. An unfortunate accident occurred early in the afternoon, when West, while riding on the grade near Wildiwood Glen, at- tempted to pass a team, and losing his palance rolled down the steep embank- ment, fracturing his hip in the fall. He was conveyed to the waiting-room of the North Pacific Coast Raiiroad, where his injuries were attended to. He was taken to the City on an afterzoon boat. Marshal John E. Creed had his dignity shocked by seeing H. Williams appear in racing costume without stockings. Creed | proceeded to arm himself to belabor tne unfortunate rider. He was finally per- suaded to abandon this i1dea. Wilhams, in order to avoid trouble, donned his stockings, and Creed’s oppurtunity to gain fame was lost.

VALLEJO, CaL, May 2.—Eider Miles Grant lost in a fire in the Cornell Baptist Church ¥rigay night a valuable Adams’ historical chart of the world, which he has been using for the past twenty years throughout the United States to assist in illustrating his biblical lectures of the earlier history of the world. The chari, which had been enlarged on canvas to sixty feet in length, was to have been used in the church that evening. Prior to opening the doors for the lecture the elder, with one or two assistants, was en- gaged in placing thecanvas in position on the platiorm at the rear of the altar. A gust of wind from one of the open win- dows blew the end of the roll of pictures against a gasjet, and in a moment the en- tire roll was in flames. Only by heroic efforts on the part of the eider and his assistants were the tapistry and altar sur- roundings saved from destruction. At e Close of Tulare’s Carnival.
