Quite a number of our citizens are pre

At Latah, Wash., a few dayB ago, the
wife of J, w. Know presented her hus
band a job lot of "pledgee of affection"
in the shape of four bouncing babies, all
f whom are alive and doing well. Our

from idle jesting. There are some
things too solemn for anything but
tears.
The Herrick cannery put up a small

Ketlenmn from down the river tells us
the catch is quite good there ; but at
present it looks as though this would be
the poorest fishing season here we have

1898 should be the big year, they claim

The Nehalem Times vouches for the

Mr. Coiiies Merritt has some very fine
crayon work on exhibition in the win
dows at Pease & Mays. Among the pic
tures is a portrait of the late Captain
Coffin, which is pronounced by those
who knew him to be a perfect likeness.
Not having known the captain, we can
not speak from personal knowledge, but
the work is certainly first-class, and well
worth a walk up that way to see.
At the recent reunion of Linn county
pioneers in Brownsville, quite a number
of interesting papers were read. One of
them said: "Mrs. Eliza Warren and
Mr. C. H. Walker, who are entitled to
the distinction of being the first white
children born in Oregon, are members
of the Linn County Pioneers' Associa
tion. Mrs. Warren is a daughter of
Rev. H. H. Spaulding, a; missionary of
1830. She was born at Lapwai mission,
in 1837. Mr. Walker was born at Whit
man in 1888."
Miss Ada Southwick, aged 22, whose
Darents reside near Milton, lost her life
in a peculiar manner, a few days ago,
says the Walla Walla Statesman. She
was talking to a friend near where some

mals suddenly kicked, striking the girl
full in the stomach. She was carried
into ihe house cIobo by and medical as
sistance called, but, after lingering lor
tlirfiH hours in terrible suffering she
passed away. The case seems doubly
sad when it is learned that the young

STATE ENCAMPMENT, G. A. R.
Mrs. lirlCB of This City Adopted as a
Daughter of the Army.
E. F. Chapman, late of the 10th Iowa,
writing to the Eugene Guard under date
of June 21st eaye:
Our State Encampment, G. A. R.,
convened at Independence on the 15th
of the present month, and concluded i te
work on the 19th. Many of our com
rades having been unable to attend, I
thought it would not be unbecoming to
give a few items on the subject. Eu
gene, by hard work, captured the cov
eted prize, the department commander,
and his name is Frank Reisner, which I
assure you is quite an honor to our
city.
The soldiers home qne.?tion has been
adjusted to the entire satisfaction of all
the old soldiers, and friends of the old
Boldiers. We had a mammoth gather
ing, consisting of Grand Army men, sons
and daughters of veterans, the ladies of
the Grand Army and last, but not least,
the band of noble workers, the Relief
Corps. It was a proud day with us to
think we were the guests of honor, and
so cordially received by the mayor,
(Goodman) and the noble citizens of the
beautiful and live city of Independence,
Oregon.
The ladies were all so good looking
that the encampment could not refrain
from adopting one of their number as a
daughter of the Grand Army, and pre
sented her with a delegate's badge. She
is a great worker in our cause, and an
eloquent speaker. Her lather was an
old soldier, and was shot in the grand
charge at Missionary Ridge, Tenn. We
voted her a badge suitable to the high
honois sue won for us. It will be pre
sented to her at our next encampment,
that will convene in The Dalles next
May. Her name is Mrs. Mamie Briggs,
of The Dalles, Oregon.
Having elected our several officers, we
held a joint installation in the Odd Fel
lows hall. The Sons installed first, the
Ladies Relief Corps next and the G. A.
R. last. We were very badly squeezed
in the hall, but strange to say, no one
objected to the squeeze. We then had
a love feast for half an hour, extending
congratulations. The encampment con
eluded its work at 10 o'clock next morn
ing, and ended up in another love feaet
at the auditorium, and all went their
way rejoicing.
Ilood Kiver Ditch Completed.
From Mr. Davenport, who had the
contract for constructing the big west
side flume and ditch at Hood River, we
learn that the work has been completed
and the water was turned through the
flume yesterday. A email piece of flume
near the lower end of the ditch remained
to be completed, but this should have
been doue yesterday afternoon.
The flume carries 2,000 inches of
water, enough to Irrigate easily 10,000
acres of land. The water will reach the
town of Hood River today, and in a
short time that pretty little town will
have running water down each street.
The completion of this ditch marks

it possible to grow almost anything, and
especially hay, which heretofore has al
ways been in supply far short of the de
mand. The results next year will as
tonish Hood Riveritee, and will cause
the speedy construction of another big
ditch on the East Side.
Mr. Davenport deserves unstinted
praise for his energy and persistency,
which has alone made the ditch possi
ble. It cost $28,000, and is worth many
times the amount to the valley.

It is a pretty strong commentary on
Dalles push and enterprise to see blank
ets manufactured in Pendleton sold here,
yet this is what is being done. Two
hundred Indian blankets, fancy colored,
made by the Pendleton mills, were sold
here this week, and they were good
blankets, too. They should have been
made here. With six or seven million
pounds of wool to ship annually, and
unlimited water power, there is no ex
cuse for this condition. Pendloton is
awake to her possibilities and realizes
that for auy town to grow it must have
its "tin bucket brigade." Wages for
merly much higher here than in the
East have about reached a level, and
there is no longer any excuse for seeding
our products East to have them manu
factured. We can do it ourselves and
we ought to see that we do. We ought
to employ labor here instead of letting
our raw materials employ labor in the
East. When we do this The Daller will
take her proper place as the leading city
of Eartesn Oregon ; but until we wake
up and get a move on, we must bo 1:01 -tent
