That opinion cannot meet the ideas of all, and it is useless to hold that the paper should keep still because it doesn't coincide with you in your views.

Yet some people do not win to look at the matter intelligently. g'Kid way to have a pajier express Jour view at all time is to own and control one. I'endleton Tribune. L Wedueadny'a Pally.

The barometer indicated at 8 o'clock thi morning, OT.M local, which is very low, Indicating that there muat be a ter rible storm raging off the coast. We were shown today a email branch of a fruit tree upon which were some caterpillar just hatched out. It i quite early for their appearance, and in view of the cool weather of the last week or two, is considered remarkable. Hugh Farmer lost a horse yesterday. About a week ago the horse, which wa a spirited animal, reared up against a fence, when a sliver penetrated back of a foreleg for about eight inches, the wound ranging dangerously near the vital organ. He survived the injury until yesterday, suffering intensly the while. The handsomest bicycle in town is that owned by Fred Houghton, of thi city, which be received thi morning. It I a beautiful machine and weigh but forty pound. The wheel are pro vided with pneumatic tire, which are calculated to make it run steadier and with much greater speed than the old modekf. There are other improvement and the fine finish of the bicycle make it a piece of property of which anyone might well be proud.

Tuesday evening about six o'clock, Mrs. Peter Zimmering dropped dead while walking along the railroad track near Pendleton. She wa a pioneer and kept a hotel at Umatilla Landing when the Oregon Itailway and Navigation company were building their line through thi country. Her name wa then Mr. Theodore and all the railroad employe were cure to patronize her hotel. Since that time she ha lived at different place on the Union Pacific line In East ern Oregon. At the time of her death he wa fifty-two year of age. and a devoted member of the Catholic church. A flnnaer . Daniel Dodge Bailey, a well-known pioneer, die.1 at Tillamook March JWth.

The best wishes of all go with him. Easter rite were duly observed in Mosier, Rev. Mr. Kigsbv preaching at the school house in district No. 8. A touching sermon wa delivered com memorating Christ' resurrection, after which sacrament wa partaken of by many. The sun kissing the dew drop of an early morning, crowning our emerald field with thonaand of diadems of rare brilliancy make the enraptured soul exclaim "Blamed if fall-sown grain isn't looking mighty peart in this local ity!" The wild onion, which grow quite plentifully in the pasture at this time of year, get badly mixed in the shuttle by the milch cow, but how up full plenty in tho butter and milk deal that our bovine friend give us. "Will you loan me last week Ciikon icl.sT" is the question asked week in and week out by several parties here. For the love of justice, Jones, stop going over to Brow n's to see if he is through with Smith's paper! Get the new legitimately. It will help your county, your neighbor and your town ; but rest assured It w ill help you the most every time. Despite the rain last Friday evening, tlys largest gathering this season was present at the social hop given by Mr. and Mr. Watt. It' putting it rather mild to lay that a good time was had by all it couldn't have been otherwise with Mr. and Mr. Watt acting as host and hostess. The dawn, a usual, stole a march on the merry-makers, and thus ended one of the moat agreeable little hoedown ever held in thi vicinity. It i indeed a happy home that hear the prattling of small voice and the pattering of little feet. Mr. and Mr. Newell Harlan are entertaining a pair of little one, who were duly registered at the borne ranch on Easter day, the day for all to rejoice because of the excel lence of the good thing given. The happy parent are now bleased four times with little one to cheer life' journey onward, all girl. Si'R. prls h4 Meghan lea. Wamic, April 3, 1893. Spring is here, of course. Woke up from, her long sleep at last; seem greatly refreshed, too; smile with a broad, Chi nook y smile, and all of the natural world, that we have had a chance to watch carefully, smiles back at her. Spring I Wonder why spring is of the feminine gender, anyway. Not being verted in the biography of Mia Spring, and never having met any trustworthy person who wa present at her christening, I naturally conclude that she was named by men; good, loyal, chivalrous men, who recognized in the gentle, soothing and encouraging element of this first grand divieion of the seasons, the right to the first choice of sex. I suppose that it hapticncd this way. Anyway I'm sure it hapjiened. Our little burg came very near giving birth last week to a wonderful phenom enon in the shape of an inventor of per petual motion. He (the inventor) was born a a boy about thirty-five year ago. For some eighteen year thereafter he grew physically and became a man. Since becoming a man he ha grown mentally, M( mind running principally In scientific grooves, until now he is nearly a phenomenon. He ha been working on hi model for several week; ha it perfected, so fur a mechanical contrivance goe, and had not that troublesome element, called friction in the school boy' text book, Intruded Itself, Edison would now be lying in the omber shade of the phenomenon above mentioned. Such little incident a these are powerful argument in favor of popular practical education. Just talk to any ordinary boy, who haa taken a course la the exact sciences, about pro ducing perpetual motion by a combina tion of the mechanical power, and see bow quickly he'll tell you that you are not very much "in it;" that your scheme is no good, any how; that he mean to post up on political econ omy; that w hen he has spare time he mean to study electricity, and that when he know all a Unit electricity, etc., he think he'll tacklo meteorology ; but he is not sure, however, that mete orology will do to Lank on. Will let you know his opinion later. Good j morning! and he 1 gone to work. I j Knfteraby Klchloaa. Enkkkmby, Or., April 3d, 185(3. Km rott Chho.mci.i : Not seeing any thing in your valuable paper from this burg for some time, we thought it time some one should break thu long silence, therefore these few Items: The people in this vicinity are all busy plowing and putting in grain. The ground ha never been in better condi tion and the weather being cool, farmer are taking time by the forelock and get ting in every acre they can. The fall sowed grain is growing fine and prom ise a big yield. The weather for the last few days has turned wanner, which account fur the anow disappearing in the mountain and the ettdden rising of all streams. 8-Mile creek I higher than it ha been for many year, so look out for lot of wheat and plenty of gooseberries. We noticed a few day ago our post master at Endersby looking over the ground cautiously. We thought, per haps, with a view to the location of the site for the Eastern Oregon insane asylum. The thought struck ua the lo cation would be magnificent if we only cduld get the great I Am of Oregon to ac cept of the profferred cite. We have a fine building here, built about a year ago for a grange hall which, I think, we could induce the grangers to donate with the site. I think that would be ample and sufficient for an asylum for Eastern Oregon for the next twenty years. At least by so doing it would take another burden off the taxpayer of Oregon and relieve the state board of equalization of the grave responsibility of raising such an enormous Us for state purposes. Of course all of Western Oregon will have to have their regular pull at the front teat, while we of Eastern Oregon will have to take what we can get of the hind thereof, and we are easy to wean. We have heard and read a great deal about the great work our last legiulature had done in fixing up the mortgage tax law and other matters of no account to the people. We would expect better legislature from an ordinary lot of school boy than we received from our last legislation. There is one thing they al ways get in right and that is voting themselves reading matter, stamps and paper to last them for years to come. Perhaps we have said enough on this question at present, and would like to turn your attention to the good work our able road supervisor Mr. Ryan of 5-Mile is doing on his portion of the road. While there is so much said all over the state about the best methods of road working, presumably by men who never did a day's road work in their lives, but sit on the fence and tell how it should be done. We feel, with Mr. Ryan, that more work and less talk is what makes good roads, and for proof of this you have only to drive over the 5-Mile hill. If you don't go to sleep before getting over that good load you will take off your hat and hurrah for Ryan, as he has put the road in better condition than it ha been for years. Savin.. Wheat For Hogs. Mr. O. A. Core, of Ross county, Or., answers a question of the Rural New Yorker as to why he fed wheat thus: "It is cheaper than corn at 40 cents a bushel. This is how I came to feed wheat. When I can sell corn at 40 cents to 50 cents per bushel, I can make more out of it than I can by selling wheat at 68 cents. The main reason now for feed ing wheat, which I have learned by ex perience, lies in the fact that wheat ia a more perfect ration than corn for a young growing animal. 1 teed ary, whole grain not in troughs or in piles, but scattered as thin as for chickens on a floor or grans sward. The object is to compel the animal to consume it twice in mastication. The slow mastication and the hardness of the grain excite an extra flow of saliva, and this is the best agent to liberate sugar from the starch in the grain. Science teaches that this is the best known agent for this purpoee I feed corn somewhat in the same man' ncr, only In the ear, never feeding more at the winding up than they will eat up clean In IK) minutes. I always want them to bo ready for their feed. I only feed twice a day, at stated times, as regularly as possible and not varying more than 10 or fifteen nlnutes. I re gard this as importaut, for I have noticed that, when fed at regular hours, the saliva will escaie from the mouth at the first or second bite. When fed at an unseasonable honr this ia not the case." Oood fur Caws. The best feed for milch cow is sor ghum cane. It should be planted about two feet apart In the rows aud each row about three feet apart. It comes in the latter part of the summer w hen the grass is dry, and stock of all kinds are very fond of it. After being cut off it will keep coming up until cold weather. It ia the best kind of feed I have ever found In this country for milch cows. Rim Rock. Ice cream, cream sola, soda water, etc., at Columbia Candy factory. Itleliardaua Huaplrlooed. George K. Richardson, the "hero of Voncallu," w ho laved a train from Uiing wrec ked and secured the thanks of the pasHengers, will probably oonapear in a new light. A warrant ha been made out for his arrest as one of thu comtpira tors, stories told by himself being con flicting, and the wounds which rendered him unconscious, etc., Ielng only skin deep. The company doctor protected against being impoted upon and docs not like to be culled to doctor a man who ia not sick. The theory is tbat it was pre-arranged that the rail should be displaced, and then that one of the men should be given marks of extreme vio lence, and then he should flag the train. Of course, for all this, the company would pay him handsomely, and the crowd would divide the reward. later. Geo. F. Richardson is in jail. The first intimation received by the Multno mah county officers that Richardson's arrest was contemplated was contained in a dispatch sent by Sheriff Noland to Sheriff Kelly on Sunday. As the neces sary arrangements had not been com pleted, the matter was kept very quiet. Sheriff Kelly placed a deputy in charge of Richardson, but the latter was not informed of the officer's intention, and dwelt in blissful ignorance until he was taken to jail at 8 :30 o'clock Sunday night. He was greatly surprised at his arrest. Though not generally known, Rich ardson is the same man who "saved" the Union Pacific passenger train from destruction October 10th, 1892. While walking along the track at a point some where between Baker City and Fendle ton he discovered a boulder on the track, and rushed back and flagged the train by lighting a piece of bark. Subsequent developments tend to show that Rich ardson himself put the boulder on the track and then flagged the train in the hope of getting a reward. In thishe was disappointed, for he only received S from the passengers. He still denies that he put the boulder on the track but tells a plausible story about it roll ing down a steep hill and alighting on the track. Tha "Lmaaleator." To properly name some of the de vices connected with that novel enter prise, "The MacKaye Spectatoriuin," which the Columbian Celebration Com pany is building on the lake shore of Jackson park, Chicago, it has been nec essary to coin a new word. One of these new words is "Luxauleator." This word is derived from two Latin words, which combinedly mean a cur tain of light, and is used to describe a means by which the stage can be ex cluded from view of the audience. The portion of the appliance which is located in plain sight of the audience consists of a single row of conical shaped reflect ors all around the edge of the pro scenium opening. These reflectors are turned base toward the audience, and at the apex of each one is an incandescent electric lamp of considerable candle power. When the switch which regu lates the current of these lamps is turned on all the lights upon the stage are turned out by the same movement. This produces a distinct change to the eye of the audience, and instead of a lighted scene they behold four rows of lights enclosing a rectangle of what ap pears to bo darkness. It has the same effect as the change of coming from a darkness into the light and then trying to look back Into the darkness. As it requires but forty seconds tr5 make any change of scene in the Spectatoriuin, a new tcene is ready before the eye be comes accustomed to the new condition of light and the Luxauleator is shut off. Theatrical managers say that this new contrivance is destined to play a very imjiortant part in theatrical lighting. Tricked th Indian. Nick Brout, the well-digger, distin guished himself by outwitting a slwash, Monday afternoon. The noble red man, who wore the blue coat and brass but tons of the Indian police, sized Nick up as a member of the box -car tourist fra ternlty, and gave him a half-dollar to "buy whisky." Nick and a friend then had a jolly time drinking beer at the ex pense of tho brave, and when the fifty cents were expended, returned and placed in his hand an empty bottle. The si wash muttered dire threats of ven geance and walked away, followed by the laughter of the crowd. He had lost both the firewater and prospective wit ness fees. East Oregonian. A Narrow Kaeap. Jim Thomas, an old ex-soldier, while under the influence of liquor, attempted to cross Mill Creek, on a log crossing be low the Fourth street bridge, and in hi delirium fell otr into the torrent. Had it not been for some children who were near, and saw him fall, who gave the alarm, Thomas would have iieen drowned. As it was, he was only res cued from a watery gruve by two men at the peril of their lives, after he had passed over the rapids. Anaaal Klvellon.
