Knapp. vice president of the Knapp Burrell Co., was in the city Saturday. Frank Martin, a Umatilla reser- vation rancner, ias.es s,wu sacss for his grain crop. The nights are becoming so cool been that frost and even ice has seen by early risers in Helix. Hewitt uses nothing but pure, fresh drugs in filling prescriptions Take your prescriptions to him. Business must be picking up somewhat in the large cities among the wholesale firms, if we may udgeby the influx of drummers. John Clancy, who stopped in Athena last winter, dropped over from Walla Walla Monday and hook hands with his many friends. John Kenfrick, cousin of Mrs. J. E. Gorman, of this city, repre senting the Van Aven Oil Co., was n town Monday on a business visit. Wheat is coming in at a rapid rate,, and it won't be long until thousands of sacks will 60on be stored in Athena's warehouses and on the platforms, i Mr. Brook's little child narrowly escaped being mangled by a cow yesterday at Helix. Luckily the cows horn s failed to touch it until help came. MajorConnoyer has heen very in at nis norae on tne head of Thorn Hollow. The Press and many friends hope for the Maior's speedy recovery. Norman, a traveling sewing ma chine agent, hung his trousers by the transom of his room in a Pen dleton hotel, and during the night $25 was abstracted from his pock ets. Unless you write or have printed on your letter envelonesthe num ber of days you wifh it held, the postmaster will hereafter, by a new ruling, hold it thirty davs'instead of ten. . . E. L. Barnett, while ridine at Colton, Wash., the other day, be came involved in a runaway, in which he came out second best, in asmuch as he sustained a severe prained foot. There are several numns on Main street, most of which are in a most dilapidated state and in case m nre would he or no use what ever. The city council should eee that thev are taken outv andfre. paired without delav. " Mr. Boddy the blockman fat the O. K. meat market was con fined to his room at the Arhena House the fore part of the week with illness, but we are now pleas ed to chronicle the fact of his being able to be up and about again. We understand the Pastor of the M. E. church is passing a three year's post graduate course in his Alma Mater, Allegheny College of Meadville Pennsylvania. It is.a long course in "Political and Social Science." and when completed will procure the title Ph. D. Doctor of Philosophy. Threshing is progressing nicely in the Helix neighborhood. Wheat is turning out from 13 to 30 bush els, and weighing from 130 to 140 per sack. 1 his may be because of the high price of sacks and hard to get at any price. Some near Helix will probably haul and empty into the elevator as fast as they thresh. .Irving McQuary and wife, ac companied by Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Bo,d came down from Baker City by team lusdav evening. Air, and Mrs. Boyd will visit in Athena the coming week. Irv's recreation seems to have agreed with him. He says he ha8 gained several pounds in weight, but since he has snaved, we are under the impres sion that he is about his usual standard. Elsewhere in this issue appears an answer, to Eld. Daisley's com munication which appeared in the Press of the issue of the 11th inst., by Eld. D. E. Scoles, who is now preaching in Pendleton. Like Eld, Daisly, Mr. Scoles, is an easy, free writer, and our readers may expect some roaster pieces on the subject of the Sabbath, from the pen of thee two distinguished exponents, of their respective views on the subject. bM2onnty Surveyor Arnold has compietea a map giving a very ac curate idea of the proposed road up the Wild Horse from Saxe station to Adams, which will be a great convenience and cut off several miles between Pendlftton and Adams.The map shows the ex act route of the highway, the place of each man which it interests, the number of acre it will appropriate, the amount of fencing required, and other infoxmatfoa of value. Wra. Forsythe's barn, two miles north of Milton together with the entire contents, was consumed by fire on Saturday last. Loss about $100. No insurance. Cause, the irreprepsible "kid" and a bunch of matches. The J. L. Elam Hardware Com pany has been duly, organized in Milton and articles of corporation nied. l be incorporators are J. L. Elam, H. L. Frazier an A. M. Elam. The capital stock of the new firm is $10,000. XThe outlook for the state normal school at Weston is considered very encouraging. Many people are removing to Weston to give their children an opportunity which the school will afford, and residences are in active demand. Four moles, belonging to T. P. Page, broke loose from his combin ed harvester the other morning, and inthe race that followed their liberation, one of them became en tangled in a barb wire fence and was pretty badly cut up. .- t-.Gus Bushman, a reservation ancher inbibed a little too freelv of the hilarious fluid one day last week and was taken to the city jail. The next morning he appeared be fore Recorder Oilman and was fined for disorderly conduct. Farmers report the roads leading to Athena , as very badly cut up. It is no wonder that the" highways are in this condition when we con sider the faqt that hundreds of wa gons pass over the roads daily loaded down with wheat. The solu tion to the problem is strawed roads. The West, a paper published at Florence, Lane county, Oregon, has a novel way of filling up its va cant advertising space by publish ing sketches of mountain scenerv. A subscription should be taken up by his brethern to send this editor to the World's Fair, as trie only live editor living on real mountain scenery. The attention of our readers is called to the new ad of Prof. Lane, the artist, in this issue. His studio over the First National Bank, is a model of neatness. He has a num ber of scholars and is now prepar ed to accommodate manv more. He charges $1 per lesson with the scholar's privilege , of keeping the paintings wnen completed. An Oregon bride, supposed to be from Weston, in a sleeping car, enrouteto the World's Fair, start ed to get a drink of water. "When I come back," she daid to her hus band, "ftlck your foot out of the berth so I'll know which it is." The conversation was audible. When she returned a masculine foot protruded from nearly every berth. E. O: While hunting and fish ing o iv the north fork of Mencham creek R. Sargent discovered a red dish brown ore that he believes to lie cinnabar, which ..if.' 'resembles in every particular. From the croppings the ledge appears to be a large one. It is located about six miles above the mouth of the stream. Mr. Sargent brought samples of the substance to Pen dleton, and will send it away for a test. In the meantime he dosen't intend to bank very largely on pos sessing a bonanza. Milton Eagle: Dr. E. P. Eagan who lives three miles below this city, has been damaged by a large hre on his farm which will take some time to die out. In one part of the farm is a strip of peat land that the doctor wishes to clear of the brush; a new hand was put to work cutting and clearing this un derbrush, which he piled in heaps and set fiie to. The fire Boon spread all over the patch, and the efforts of one hundred men would be futile in extinguishing the flames. While a reporter was in Norris & Maloney's harness emporium the other day, a traveling man for some whip company dropped in and unstrapped a big leather case and proceeded to display his waies. There were whips , of all sizes and prices ranging from 25 cents to a fine gold mounted bug gy whip that retails for $45. This whip was a fine piece of work manship indeed. The handle is a solid piece of African ivory with engravings of dogs on the sides, al of which is hand work. The feK nis are oi solid gold and riciuv en-N graved. , .; "" ( A couple of Athena youths went gunning for prairie hens last Sat urday. When .they arrived at Thorn Hollow" they tied their team to the fence, and started in to in vestigate a corn field, were the fowls were reported to be found in great numbers. They had not proceed ed far when the owner of the do main on which they were trespass ing, called the turn on them. He unhiched the team,: and drove it to his house, from whence they were afterward permitted to depart in peace after pleading as a mitiga tion for the misdemf-anor their ig norance of a lawmaking such liber ties of another's premipes a penal offense. On account of their age and inexperience it was but just and proper for the old gnt to for give them just thia one time. The boy's names are E. DePeatt and P. M. Kixklaud '-Willis" in Z. O. Look out for the magic . lantern exhibition in the M. E. church. The band met for rehearsal Sun day for the first time since harvest began. M. Finneran, at one time a resi dent of Athena, was in the . city Wednesday. The Farmers' Warehouse Co., bave shipped nine carloads of wheat so far this season. A.Roderick Grant of the O. W. R. Mf. Co., of Portland Or. was in the city yesterday. , Nye, the Walla Walla harness dealer, was in the city Sunday, a guest at the Young home. Marshal Stamper and family are recreating on the shores of Willowa Lake this week. Max Lewin has been improving the looks of the exterior of his residence by a fresh coat of cement. Hugh Thompson is acting in the capacity of city marshal during Stamper's absence at Willowa Lake. Miss Eunice Smith departed for Pendleton yesterday evening, where she will teach in the public schools of that city. J, W. Smith and James Maloney returned from a week's outing at Saling's camp, Monday and report a splendid time. Mat Johnson, accompanied- by several others left Wednesday for Mud springs, on the Elgin road to kill "bar'' and pick huckleberries. ' The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Marsett, died at their home on the reservation yesterday and will be buried in the Athena ceme tery today. During the past week the air has been loaded with a dense smoke, which comes from the forest fires now raging in the Blue Mountains near Kamela. : Wallie Ashpaugh, . the brick mason left last week for his ranch on tne rena a ureiue river, in Washington. Mr. Breckhill, his partner is still in the city. Mr. and Mn. S. A. Maloney, who have been sojourning at Saling's enmp, returned home Tuesday eve ning. Mrs. Maloney's health was benefitted greatly by the trip. The Press is getting up a club bing list with the leading weekly newspapers and magazines of the United States, a list of which will appear as soon as arrangements can be perfected. The Walla Walla contractors who have -been cementing the school house have completed their work and departed. Athena's spacious school house is second to none in the county. It seemed like old times in Athena last Sunday. The streets were lined ali day with teams and men from the harvest fields, which put some of the old life in things and made us forget all about the financial stringency for the1 time being. : ''" William Winship and Lee Mitch ell with their families, returned from Woodard's toll gate Tuesday where they have been recreating and picking huckleberries. They report a large number of people from Walla Walla and other places, camping there. Chas. Brotherton finished thresh ing 240 acres of spring sown grain on the reservation Monday, from which he received 2,000 sacks of first-class wheat. He sold 100 sacks to the Farmers' Warehouse Co., for 36 cents per bushel. Alex McRae, who has been em ployed by the Frank Bros., imple ment company, with headquarters at Walla Walla, for some time, has accepted a position with Knapp, Burrell & Co., of this city, taking the place made vacant by the re signation of Mr. Callendar, who has been with the company since last fall. In last week's "patent" up the street, there appeared an article- one of Hendricks' "master-pieces" in which he intimated that at one time the Press undertook, but up.' He is mistaken. It is, and always has been a self-evident fact in the minds of the people that the . inland Republican is a one horse 'l-rti5i an1 -?rni" in a turn nitan ftuu uus vw vvii I It) rambling through the north part of the city Sunday, a Pbess reporter was more than ever im pressed. with the fine appearance of that portion of Athena. The dwellings all have a neat, tidy, ap pearance, . and most of the yards, and the young locust trees-invaluable to the Oregon home maker were green and pleasing to the eye. Verily, the residence portion of Athena will go to the north. - This morning James Maloney, the new postmaster, assumed the responsibilities of the Athena of fice. James ia a staunch young democrat ard hi credentials that went u Washington were of the best ever received from Oregon Mr. Hansell, his predecessor steps down and out, by bis own resigna tion, conscious of having fulfilled the duties of the office in the most efficient manner, and knowing that he has made many friends by his pleaeaot, courteous manner. We hear considerable complaint about fast driving on Fifth street. Nearly every evening parties drive on that street apparently to show off their fast horses, and they raise such a dust as to make it very dis agreeable to the residents in that vicinity. There is a city ordinance forbidding any one to drive along the streets at a faster rate than six miles an hour. We would advise those who desire to try the speed of their horses to find some other track. "A word to the wise is sufficient." ""There will be a Sunflower con cert in Gulls hall next luesday evening. The best musical talent of the city will be utilized. The Athena orchestra will also take a prominent part.

Post, who has been visiting relatives in Willowa county this summer, returned home Tuesday much improved in health. . John Fisher was down from his mountain ranch this week. He will remove to the city for the win ter. Crop and Weather. It was slightly warmer last week; the mean temperature ranged from 64 to 72 degrees. No rain occurred; though it is much needed. The sunshine was the average. Harvesting and threshing of fall wheat is nearly over. Early sown spring wheat begins to ripen. Much spring wheat and oats are green. The second cropnf alfalfa is being cut. Haying will continue nearly two weeks longer. Some wheat will be shriveled and some will be burnt; but generally the grain is plump and of superior quality. Prunes, pears and plums are plenti ful and of No. 1 quality. Stock on the range are in good condition. Stock buyers are securing beef cat tle for the markets. Water in the streams is getting low, and there is not sufficient water for irrigation purposes. Vegetables need rain badly. Good News. The long faces of our farmers were shortened a 'trifle today says the East Oregon:an by information gi ven them by Cashier Sturgis, of the First National Jbanlc Several went to him with statements that they could get but 32 cents a bush els for their wheat, and Mr. Sturgis relieved their despondency to some extent by an agreement which will be cheering news to many Umatilla county farmers. All farmers hav ing paper due at the bank are of fered the privilege of paying the same in wheat at forty cents per bushel, free on board. In this way they are given an opportunity to relieve themselves from pressure and obtain for their wheat consid erable more than its market value. A better feeling has been created in consequence. eld "Up" a Meat Wagon. d. Butrick, the Adams meat dealer, had an experience the other day with three hungry tramps whom he met on the road, a short distance below Havana, while driv ing along with his meat wagon. They suddenly sprang in front of the horses and "held him up," de manding beef or brains. Mr. But rick started to drove on, but one of the men then leveled a pistol at his head, and he conridered this sufficient inducement to remain, He now told them it was unneces sary to frighten him further he would give up all the meat he had and he handed -out the few pounds left in his wagon. They wanted no money, evidently, for this concession appeared to satisfy them and they allowed him to de part in peace. Farmers Protected. Receiver Forbes, of the Northern Pacific Elevator company, at St. Paul, applied to Judge Williams, in the United States circuit court for an order to distribute the wheat which they had actually delivered to the elevator company on its re ceipts. This was objected to by the creditors, who held warehouse receipts ns collateral security for notes. The judge granted the ap plication. He held that the ele vator company was legally bound to return the wheat to the farmers. As to the warehouse receipts, the elevator company had issued them without having the wheat in actual possession, and hence committeda fraud. , . . . For Sale. A good second hand header for ale, cheap, inquir of J. Bloch & Co. Warw.i - US' 'mim. r t J, i BOTTOM T'ANTs' EVfeit''fyiiit Had the Sand. Little 11-year-old Hans Hansen, living near Nehalem, had an ex perience the other day he will not soon forget. While fishing in Cook creek canyon with a companion he crawled through some brush to reach a place near the falls. The other boy, being larger, could not get through, so he started to climb over, when he ran into a cougar. He picked up 8ome rocks and threw at the beast, and being hit the cou gar made a spring and landed on the back of young Hansen, who was a few feet below. He had just step ped on a rock in the edge of the water when the cougar struck him and he was knocked into the foam ing water and carried over the falls. He escaped unhurt. The cougar did not go over the falls, but after a hard struggle to get out finally succeeded and disappeared in the woods. . The boy has lots of , grit, for he went fishing in the same place the next day. Wouldn't Let Her Land. The Herald's correspondent at Valparaiso cables a dispatch from the Herald's correspondent in Rio Janeroi, Brazil, which Bhows that the steamer Carlos is on the Atlan tic ocean, bound for no port, filled with persons afflicted with cholera and having a record of 105 deaths on her voyage across the ocean. The dispatch says the steamer Carlos arrived at Rio Janerio to day from the Grand Island canal and that 105 persons on board died of cholera on the way over. When the ship got into the harbor and made '" her report she was refused permission to land or even put her crew and passengers in quaran tine. She was escorted out of the hartnr by the warship Republica and was ordered not to land at any Brazilian port. Depositors' Committee, The committee of depositors of the Portland Savings bank, appoint ed at the meeting held at the Mar quam Grand opera-houee last Thursday evening, has not yet taken any definite action in the matter of receivership. The com mittee proposes to follow out the instructions of the mass meeting by which they were appointed, and will not be turned aside from their intention, to have an impartial re ceiver appointed, by chamber of commerce resolutions or requests made by the bank directors to the clearing-house. . "" y Dvnam',teiJn.a' Thresher. News of a diastardly attempt at' dynamiting, the full accomplish mont of which would havo resulted in many lives being lost, comes from near Cayton. Dynamite was placed in the threshing machine of Mr. Butler. The explosion blew out the cylinder and generally wrecked the machine. Two men were seriously hurt.

A gentleman from Heppner states that three men are under ar rest there for the sensational high way robbery a week or two ago of Frank Sloan and a young man named Thompson. The accused are Frank Sloan himself and Frank and Newt Jones, sons of a leading citizen of Morrow county. It is al leged that Sloan stood in with the highwaymen and received a share of the booty. He had paid young Thompson $75 and claimed to have $55 left, after drawing upon the bank, but it was discovered that he only drew out $80, and that he lost only a few dollars, while Thomp son lost about $125. It was sup posed the latter had collected some notes and had two or three hun dred dollars in his possession. Among the Merchants. The merchants of Athena enjoy- ed a good trade Sunday. All day ' at Hollis's the clerks were kept on the jump while at Bloch's every body was in a rush waiting on cus tomers who did not have time to come to town through the week. Bergevin Bros., at the Grange store three clerks had all they could pos sibly attend to. Athena enjoys the reputation of having the best mer chandise establishments in Uma tilla county and consequently her merchants receive the great bulk of the trade of the central part of the county. Tnere is not much money in cir culation, but to the contrary not withstanding, considerable money . was put afloat in the numerous channels of circulation. Taken all in all, Sunday's trade in this city was good. Negotiating for the Reservoir Site. E. O. Monday, in Lot Liver- more's oflice, representatives of the Blue Mountain Irrigation & Im provement Company held a confer ence with several Indians in regard to securing ttle for the company's reservoir site on McKay creek. Part of this is owned by the In dians, who there took a portion of their allotments. Considerable de lay has been caused by negotiations with the red men, but ali present at the conference agreed to give deeds to their lands at certain fig ures, and very probably the com pany will soon be able to obtain title. t Judge Cash-Cash, Chief Peo, Amos Pond and Tomacus were the Indians who attended the pow-wow. Wm. Barnhart acted as interpreter. 'v:;n tu- 1 . Tlt 121.1'' header crew of John B. Crow and Johu Todd, who lately finished work north of.

The header had eight horses at tached, and kept five header wag ons busily employed. The mem bers of the force were Boss McMa hon, stacker; Marion Mills, header driver; John and Ed. Kelley, Mike Arbogast, John Todd, Enoch Pear son, header wagon drivers. Restored Its Dead. st Saturday some little girls happened along the banks of the Umatilla river, below Foster, discovered the skeleton remains of a human being. They proved to be all that is mortal of George Marley, the unfortunate boy who lost his life by drowning in the Umatilla some months ago, pro longed efforts to recover the body proving futile. Now the river, its waters receding, has given up its dead. A casket was ordered from Pendleton and the remains inter red.
