' ' Last Saturday, the decomposed body " of a man, supposed to be Mr. Siles of the firm of Kiles & Vinson of Walla Walla, was found in a box car, partially ; covered with coal, at La Grande, Or. . The car was one of a train that had ar rived three days before the discovery waamaae. ine sttnu oi tne aeaa man was badly. crushed.

The assessment roll of Crook county for the current years shows 115,980 acres of deeded land, at an average price of $3.09 and 251,333 acres of "Road land,' at 96 cents an acre. The county has i nin i i a. ' ot t25.RS? 13345 brf nf mttln at. and 140,498 head of sheep at $175. The grow value of all property is $2,039,639, and the total taxable property is $1,350, 375. The net increase for the year over that of 1890 is $141,515. Mayor Mays has received intimation from Portland that Mr. H. Heppner of Arlington has ordered shipped from a wholesale house in the former - city, for the se of the sufferers by the late fire, two dozen quilts. This is very kind of Mr. Heppner and has the city's warm est gratitude. Mr. Heppner will be re membered as a former resident of The Dalles and a bis hearted, eenerous fel low as ever lived.

Mr. Whetstone would like any one who doubts the adaptability of our driest hills for prunes, plums, apples and pears to come and see his orchard. He be lieves no country in the world can beat Wasco countv for these fruits. THE REGULATOR ALL RIGHT. . The Trial Trip a Complete SuccefMi Turned Over to the Stockholders. The trial trip of the Regulator Thurs- dav was a complete success. Her con tract called for a speed of fifteen miles an hour. At the end of the first hour, after leaving her dock at The Dalles, she had made 18 miles against a 20 mile dead wind. It is perfectly safe to say she is good for 20 miles down stream any time. The sixty invited guests, nearly all stockholders or their wives, were delighted with the trip. At every residence and hamlet alongside the river the people rushed out to get a glimpse of the boat as she passed and waved their handkerchiefs in salute. At the residence of Mr. S. R. Husbands an anvil was brought into requisition and a salute of three rounds was fired. From the Mt. Hood hotel the stars and stripes flnf.tered on the breeze. The boat left her landing at The Dalles at 9:37 a. m j important office. and arrived at. Cascade Locks at 12 :03 p. m., making the trip in 2:26, tbe distance being 45 mile$. The Regulator got back to The Dalles a little before 5 o'clock p. m. xms morning ine directors oi ine Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation company held a meeting, in the room back of the office of Contractor Hugh Glenn when the boat was formally turned over by Paquet &. Smith to the directors of the navigation company. the I'd innt The dam across Rogue river .will be completed within a'week, after which a large force of men will be put to work sluicing the river bed for three miles. Fifty wagon loads of immigrants have passed through I'riueville during the ast week. They are on the way to the Willamette vally, from Kansas and the Dakotas. The residence of C. P. Zumwalt, near Perrydale, Polk county, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday last. A portion of the household goods was saved by the family. . The Siuslaw country is settling rap idly. The hill locations of Lane county are numerous and the land is rich and profitable for fruit, vegetables, and every product of the soil.

Robert Sfay, Mayor: We send you today by telegraphic Calvin Xeal, a pioneer of '44 died near Stavton last week, and fourteen hours after his sunDOsed death revived and lived several hours longer, and then re lapsed and the hnal disolution ot body and soul took place. The Toledo coal mine tunnel is ninety four feet into the mountain, and has jnst passed through a etmta of large clam shells. The men are now working through some black: slate, and tne indi cations are that thev will soon strike the coal bed. George W. Atchison," of Baker City, aged seventy-five years and possessed of considerable wealth, has been adjudged insane. He has been gradually losing bis mind for some time and the other day, after havin? attacked his house keeper with a knife, he was taken into custody. . Barbed wire on the farm is a fruitful source of accidents. At Jesse Porter's farm in Benton county some horses be came frightened while, grazing in the pasture, and in their wild rush ran against the fence. One of them was killed almost instantly and two others badly crippled. ine cable and fixtures tor the pro posed new tree terry across Kogue river were last Tuesday taken out to the ferry site by A. Betz. The cable is 1?4 inches in diameter, the largess ever used in the county, and will be perfectly safe for three tunes the strain to which it is con templated it will ever be subjected. Three men living on Johnson Free man's farm near Glencoe, went to Hills- boro Tuesday last to secure medical treatment. All were suffering with poisoned fingers, and none of them could give any idea of how the poisoning occurred or what caused it. The tlesh seemed to rot as in blood poisoning. A son of Mr. Faulkenberg, living two miles from Holbrook, Washington county, was thrown from a mowing machine on Tneseay last, falling in front of the sicklebar, the- bar passing over him cutting his left ear nearly off, and inflicted a bad scalp wound, also a bad wound on the right side of the head and injuring the bones of the skull. Mr. J. R. Crosby, who . resides on Upper Crooked river, Crook county, lost his barn and about twenty tons of hay by fire a few days ago. The fire was set by a little child who "wanted to see it burn." Mr. Crosby's loss is a severe one to him as it would be to any poor man. A horse escaped from the barn after being somewhat scorched. . An incident worthy of mention, and one probably without a parallel in this state, happened in Astoria last Friday morning, eays the Lupatch. Thirteen editors, representing different sections of Oregon, walked into the Parker House, and after registering, the proprietor said, "Gentlemen, if any of you are thirdly, follow me, and I think "your thirst will I be Quenched." Stranse as it mav seem. S w J not a man moved. ... ' ml . r i inp neweiroin ine KOseDurg-uoos isay railroad is encouraging. Daring the present month the tracklaying from Marshfield to Coquille City, a distance ot twenty miles, will doudtless be com pleted and the cars running regularly that distance. This will be a great step in the onward progress of the road, and every indication is that the road will be pushed on to Myrtle Point ten miles from Coquille before the rainy season sets In. . B. M. Huston, who has the contract of taking the machinery into the San tiam mines for the Albany Mining and Milling company, has five yoke of oxen and eight horses now at work hanling in the company's new ten-stamp mill. Nearly a month will be required to take all the machinery into the mines. Two shins of men are at work m the tunnel The lower level is 215 feet and the upper one ieei. l ue character ot the ore grows constantly better as the work proceeds. There is likely to be litigation at Ash land over the water in Ashland creek. The fruit growers use so much of if as to subject the mills in town to serious in convenience. The peach growers argue that the peach crops bring in from $50, 000 to $75,000 a year to that place, an amount far exceeding that realized from any other one source, and they have made up their minds that they will en courage peach culture to the utmost ex tent, even if it takes every drop of water in Ashland creek to give ft the necessary fostering care. Robert Albee, a well-known stockman of Butler creek, Umatilla county, was ! seriously injured in a runaway accident 1 the other day. In the wagon "with him I were Mrs. Nelson and her son. When j the horses started to run Mrs. Xelson clasped her boy in her arms and jumped J out, escaping without injury. After an I ineffectual attempt to hold the horses j Mr. Albee was thrown out.

Dr. Talmage has returned from bis western tour reinvigo rated in health and cheered by the hearty and enthusiastic greetings he has received in the numerous cities he has visited. Thousands of persons who have read his sermons in their local newspapers have struggled to get within sound of his voice wherever he has spoken. His sermon this week is on the very common and foolish habit of borrowing trouble, and his text is Matthew vi, 34. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereot" The life of every man, woman and child is as closely under the divine care though such person were the only man, woman or child. There are no accidents. As there is a law of storms in the natural world, so there is a law of trouble, a law of disaster, a law of misfortune; but the ma jority of the tronbles of life are imaginary. and the most of those anticipated never come. At any rate, there is no cause, of complaint against God. See how much he hath done to make thee happy; his sun shine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and halo for the mountain, greenness for the moss, saffron lor the cloud and crystal for the billow. and procession of bannered flame through the opening gates of the morning, chaf finches to sing, rivers to glitter, seas to chant, and springs to blossom, and over powering all other sounds with its song, and overarching all other splendor with its triumph, covering up all other beauty with its garlands, and outfiashing all other thrones with its dominion deliverance for a lost world through the Great Redeemer. I discourse of the sin of borrowing trouble. First, such a habit of mind and heart is wrong, because it puts one into a des pondency that ill fits him for duty. I planted two rose bushes in my garden. The one thrived beautifully, the other per ished. I found the dead one on the shady side of the house. Our dispositions, like our plants, need sunshine. Expectancy of repulse is tbe cause of many secular and religious failures. Fear of bankruptcy has uptorn many a fine business and sent the man dodging among the note shavers. Fear of slander and abuse has often invited all the long beaked vultures of scorn and backbiting. Many of the misfortunes of life, like hyenas, flee if yon courageously meet them. FOECK HAPPINESS TO COMB. How poorly prepared for religious duty is a man . who sits down under the gloom ot expected misfortune! If he pray, he says, "I do not thins l shall be answered." If he give, he says, "I expect they will steal the money." Helen Chalmers told me that her father, Thomas Chalmers.' in the darkest hour of the history of the Free Church of Scotland, and when the woes of the land seemed to weigh upon his heart, said to the children, "Come, let us go out and play ball or fly kite," and the only dif ficulty in the play was that the children could not keep up with their father. The McCheynes and the Snmmerfields of the church who did the most good, cultivated sunlight, Away with the horrors! they distill poison; they dig graves, and if they could climb so high, they would drown the rejoicings of heaven with sobs and wailing. Yon will have nothing but misfortune in the future if you sedulously watch for it. How shall a man catch the right kind of fish if he arranges his line and hookand bait to catch lizards and water serpents? Hunt for bats and hawks and bats and hawks you will find. Hunt for robin redbreasts and you will find robin redbreasts. One night an eagle and an owl got into fierce battle; the eagle unused to the night was no match for a owl, which is most at home in the darkness, and the king of the air fell helpless; but the morning rose, and with it rose the eagle; and the owls and tbe night hawks and the bats came a sec ond time to the combat; now, the eagle, in the sunlight, with a stroke of his talons and a great cry, cleared the air, and his enemies, with torn feathers and splashed with blood, tumbled into the thickets. Ye are the children of light. In the night of despondency yon trill have no chance against your enemies that flock up from beneath, but, trusting in God and stand ing in the sunshine of the promises, you shall "renew your youth like the eagle." THERE AP.E BLESSINGS A-PLEXTT. Again, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong because it has a tendency to make us overlook present blessing. To slake man's thirst, the rock is cleft, and cool waters leap into his brimming cup. To feed his hunger the fields bow down with bending wheat, and the cattle come down with full udders from the clover pas tures to give him milk, and the orchards yellow and ripen, casting their juicy fruits into his lap. Alas! that amid such exuber ance of blessing man should growl as though he were a soldier on half rations. or a sailor on short allowance; that a man should stand neck deep in harvests look ing forward to famine; that one should feel the strong pulses of health inarching with regular tread through all the avenues of life and yet tremble at the expected as sault of sickness; that a man should sit in his pleasant home, fearful that ruthless want will some day rattle the broken win dow sash with tempest, and sweep the coals from the hearth, and pour hanger into tbe bread tray; that a man led by him who owns all the harvests should ex pect to starve; that one whom God loves and surrounds with benediction, and at tends with angelic escort, and hovers over with more than motherly fondness, should be looking for a heritage of tears! Has God been hard with thee that thou shonldst be foreboding? Has &e stinted thy board? Has he covered thee with rags? Has he spread traps for thy feet, and galled thy cup, and rasped thy soul, and wrecked thee with storm, and thundered upon thee with a life full of calamity? If your father or brother .come into your bank where gold and silver are lying about yon do not watch them, for you know they are honest; but if an entire stranger come by the safe you keep your eye on him, for you do. not know his designs. So some men treat God; not as a father, but a stranger, and act suspiciously towasd him, as though they were afraid he would steal something. THANK GOD FOB WHAT YOU HATE. It is high time you began to thank God for your present blessing. Thank him for vour children. haDDV. buoyant and bound ing. Praise him for your home, with its fountain of .song and laughter. Adpre him for morning; light and evening shadow. Praise him for fresh, cool water bubbling from the rock, leaping in the cascade, soar ing m the mist, falling in the shower, dash ing against the rock and clapping its hands in the tempest. Love him for the grass that cushions the earth, and the clouds that curtain the sky, and the foliage that waves in the forest. Thank him for a Bi ble to read, and a cross to craze mwn. and a Saviour to deliver. Many Christians think it a bad sign to be jubilant, and their work of self exam ination is a hewing down of their brighter experiences. I jke a boy with a new jack- knife, hacking everything he comes across. so their self examination is a religious cut ting to pieces or the greenest things they can lay their hand on. They imagine they are doing God's service when they are going about borrowing trouble, and bor rowing it at thirty per cent., which is al ways a sure precursor of liankruptcy. Again, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong liecuuse the present is (sufficient ly taxed with trial. God sees that we all need n t-i-ruiin Hriintiut of trouble, and so he apportions it for nil the clavs and years of our. life. Alas for t he policy of gather ing it all up for one day or year: Cruel tiling to put upon t he back of one camel all tin-i-ic-tro inteinlfil for the entire cara van. 1 never look at my incniorandum i book to w-e what eiigH.eiueuLs uud duties hit far ahead. Ijtt every week 'xr own hunieiis : - wnv ni:i.; xkw siii:i:ows? . The sundown of today Hre thick enough, why implore the presence of other shad mvs? ' The mp is already distasteful why halloo to disasters far distant to come find wriny out uiuru xall iuto the bitterness? TuffVnnVlIi"1ulTirer eutoiiuueis, we can go forth to challenge all the future?. Here are business men just able to man age affairs as they now are. They can pay their rent, and meet their notes, and man age affairs as they now are, but what if there should come a panic? Go tomorrow and write on your daybook, on your ledger, on your money safe, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Do not worry aliout tiotes that are far from due. Do not pile up on your counting desk the financial anxieties of the next twenty years. The God who has taken care of your worldly occupation, guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of the burglar, will be as faithful in 1801 as in 1SS1. God's hand is mightier than the machinations of stock gamblers, or the plots of political demagogues, or the red right arm of revolution, and the darkness will By and the storm fall dead at his feet. So there are persons in feeble health, and they are worried about the future. They make out very well now, but they are bothering themselves about future pleuri sies and rheumatisms and neuralgias and fevers. Their eyesight is feeble, and they are worried lest they entirely lose it. Their hearing is indistinct, and they are alarmed lest they become entirely deal They felt chilly today, and are expecting an attack of typoid. They have been troubled for weeks with some perplexing malady, and dread becoming lifelong invalids. Take care of your health now and trust God for the future. Be not guilty of tbe blasphemy of asking him to take care of you while yon sleep with your windows tight down, or eat chicken salad at 11 o'clock at night, or sit down on a cake of ice to cool off. Be pru dent and then be confident. Some of the sickest people have been the most useful. It was so with- Payson, who died deaths daily, and Robert Hall, who used to stop in the midst of his sermon and lie down on tbe pulpit sofa to rest, and then go on again. Theodore Frelinghuysen had a great horror of dying till the time came, and then went peacefully. Take care of the present and let the future look out for itself. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." ROBS US OF WHAT STRENGTH WE HATE. Again, the habit of borrowing misfor tune is wrong because it unfits us for it when it actually does come. We cannot always have smooth sailing. Life's path will sometimes tumble among declivities and mount a steep and be thorn pierced. Judas will kiss our cheek and then sell us for thirty pieces of silver. Human scorn will try to crucify us between two thieves. We will hear the iron gate of the sepulcher creak and grind as it shuts in our kindred. But we cannot get ready for these things by forebodings. They who fight imaginary woes will come, out of breath, iuto conflict with the armed disasters of the future. Their ammunition will have been wasted long before they come under the guns of real misfortune. Boys in attempting to jump a wall sometimes go so far back in order to get impetus that when they come up they are exhausted; and these long races in order to get spring enough to vault trouble bring us up at last to the dreadful reality with our strength gone. Finally, tbe habit of borrowing trouble is wrong because it Is unbelief. God has promised to take care of us. The Bible blooms with assurances. Your hunger will be fed; your sickness will be allevi ated; your sorrows will be healed. God will sandal your feet and smooth your path, and along by frowning crag and opening grave sound the voices of victory and good cheer. The summer clouds that seem thunder charged really carry in their bosom harvests of wheat, and shocks of corn, and vineyards purpling for the wine press. Tbe wrathful wave will kiss the feet of the great storm walker. Our great Joshua will command, and above your soul the sun of prosperity will stand still. Bleak and wave struck Patmos shall have apocalyptic vision, and' yon shall hear the cry of the elders, and the sweep of wings, and trumpets of salvation, and tbe voice of Hallelujah unto God for ever.

The liquor traffic is crushing the fond est hopes of the mother heart of Amer ica. The Presbyterian general assembly's permanent committee in behalf of tem perance says: "After all. the present condition of things in relation to the liquor traffic is not at all discouraging. There is a mighty waking up of popular opinion. There are vastly more tem perance men and women iii the United States than ever before. Joseph Cook said at Broadway Taber nacle, Xew York: "The churches should rise to the temperance level of the public schools. - All denominations should declare, as the Methodist church has, that the liquor business cannot be legalized with out sin. Church members should support no political party dominated by the whisky ring. The churches should unitedly in sist on the closing of saloons on Sundays and on election day, and th.e prohibition of the sale of liquor to drunkards and minors, to Indians, and during fires. General Master Workman Powderly said in a recent address: "The politi cian is what you make him. So long as you bare your backs and hand the poli tician a cat o' nine tails don't be sur prised if he scourges and skins you. If you walk up and open vour Docket to tbe politician, saying, "rob me," why should he not rob you? If the power lies in you, damn in thunder tones the liquor power that debauches the voters. One hogshead of whisky in the city of New York judiciously placed mav make or unmake a president. Give out enough glasses of gin in this city and state and yon place the dispenser in the chair of Washington. iMlward Everett iiale says : "1 am ready to acknowledge that the clergy are apt to be a little fanatical in this matter of temperance. Why not, indeed? They see the skeletons in the closet, which other people do not see. ' They receive the confidence, and they know why this lad never kept the fond promise with which he entered college. They know w4iat is tbe hidden cause of ruin" in this household, and the fond hopes of that young married pair. If you want to make an active temperance member out of any friend, set him to work in pris ons, in charity organizations, in educa tion ; you will soon find that he says less about moderate drinking, that he looks less doubtfully on strong legal measures for keeping men out of temptation."

Courage, my brother! The father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him several years, but, as the bills for tuition and board and clothing and books come ia, pays them. So God will not give you grace all at once for the future, but will meet all your exigencies as they come. Through earnest prayer, trust him. Put everything in God's hand, and leave it there.

The wheat is being delivered to ware houses and elevators. The wheat pro duct was never better, the berry is of first grade; the yield has been heavy, generally more than was anticipated. Large yields are reported from every county. In Washington county for ex ample, one larm yielded w Dusneis per acre, anotner 04 Dusneis peracre. smut is more generally reported than nsual, though it is not this year so very exten sive ; spring wheat is more affected than fall wheat. The oat crop has been good rat not as proportionally good as the wheat crop. Hop-picking will be about finished next week, unless the present rains snould delay, tbe pickers more than is now expected. The hops of Douglas county were supposed to be free from lice and mould, but on picking some yards are found to be badly dam aged. No lice are observable in Josephine county. It is estimated that lice and mould nave damaged tne nop crop to the extent of $300,000. In Jack son and Josephine counties corn is ripe; of good quality and yield. Summer fal lowing is in progress in many of the Willamette valley counties. EASTERN OREGON WEATHER. A few showers have occurred. The temperature has been cooler and about the average.

Regulation, forsooth ! Can the vitiated appetite of the boy be "regulated.' la there any way to reg ulate the man or boy who has implanted within himself an appetite which has taken from him every particle of will power? Can you save a man with a fe ver in any other way than to remove the cause of the fever? "Regulation!" Do you want to take a census to enumerate your children and say, "I will so regu .late this evil that 1 this child shall be mine and that one the saloon-keeper's?" In brief, do you want to perpetuate an evil, or do you want to kill it? If the rum power really owns the state and community, in God's name let it have its way in peace. If it does not, if hu manity has any rights, if the state and the family have any claim to be consid ered, let the law assert itself and stamp it out. P. V.Nasby.

Among the merchandise brought to town on Saturday morningby the Amer ican Express company was a black box about seven feet long by two feet broad and a foot high, says the Butte Miner. It weighed about ' 600 pounds and its contents were valued at f 5,000. It came from Helena and is the property of F. A. Ransem. . Tbe contents are the natural curiosity of Kate Carroll, the petrified woman of Arizona. . bhe died tnere in 1862 and was buried, and in 1884, twen ty-two years later, when there was occa sion to remove the remains, they were found to be petrified. The form and fea tures are said to be life-like, the entire remains being permanently preserved without any alteration to the contour. The average cost of running a passen ger train on the railroads of the United States is 83 cents per mile, and the train earns just $1.06 in doing if. Tbe profit, therefore, is only 23 cents a mile, but it foots up $300:000,000 on all the roads in the course of a year. The roads get two j cents and two mills per mile, multiplied by millions, that makes the vast sum of $300,000,000 profit. The roads get little less than a cent for carrying a ton of freight one mile, and it costs them six-tenths of a cent to carry it. It costs more to run a freight train a mile than a passenger - train, the figures for the former being $1.0b, and tbe tram earns $l.bn per mile. A Peculiar Death. : John M. Peebles the 22-year-old son of a wealthy London banker was accident ally drowned in the Willamette river Saturday evening last. Young Peebles, in company with three other men, who had undressed on one of the slips, jumped into the river from the slip, which stood about six feet from the sur face of the water. As he did not soon rise to the surface his companions be came alarmed and as the water was only five or six feet deep they had no trouble finding him. He had not. been in the water more than three minutes, vet every effort to bring him back to con sciousness was unavailing. A careiui examination of the body after it was taken to the morgue revealed the fact that his neck was broken between the fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae.
