For two weeks there has been scarcely an business done at the court house, and the county clerk, w ho depends en tirely upon fees for remuneration for bis services, is consequently somewhat blue. He informed a reporter that such times as these are unprecedented for Wasco county. The teachers' county institute meets at Hood River next Monday, and no teacher can afford to miss it. Many good things nre provided there for the profession, and the wide-awake will not fail to embrace this oportnnity to brighten up for the coming year. The quarterly examination will be held im mediately after at Hood liiver this time. Two notes for ftfOO each, due Mrs. John Cute, were collected by O. I. Taylor or Mr. Whealdon, recently, and the money not being forthcoming, a settlement was requested yesterday by Mr. Cates.

We learn through private dispatches that the Oregon First National and tbe Northwestern Iioan and Trust Company banks of Portland temporarily sncjiended this forenoon.

Farrenholt, V. 8. lighthouse Inspector, while coming up tbe river with the Monterey officers, ex pressed great surprise at the magnitude and importance of the Columbia river as a navigable stream and said that as soon as the locks were completed at any rate the Middle Columbia would lie sur veyed, buoyed and lights placed along it as far a this city. He believes it should be done now and will make a recommendation to that effect to the general government. THE FIRE BOYS. EitBsla I'laas Md tor (ha Coning Tuanumoni. A special meeting of the fire depart ment was hyld last night, pursuant to published notice, and was called to order by tbe chief engineer, J. S. Fish. Henry Maier was elected chairman. The object of the meeting was to con sider plans of entertainment for the coming state tournament, to be held in the Dalles.

The following Associated Press dis patch gives the facts of the drowning of W. R. Talle and James Hogsn, which are substantially as reported in Tim Ciikonici.e yesterday : The report of the douhlu drowning telegraphed yesterday from Cascade IM'ks is confirmed. It happened be tween li rants and Higgt. W. R. Tafle. only son of I. II. Taffe, the well-known salmon fisherman and cniiner of Celilo, and Jim Hogan of Astoria, w ho was em ployed by Taffe in seining, were the un fortunates. Mr. Taffe, w ho was years of age, started, yesterday with Hogan from Celilo in a sailliout to purchase a sack of wheat at Biitgs. There being none there, they continued up the river to Grants. Returning, they left Grants about 6 p. in. I.ati r on some one at Higgs saw an unoccupied boat floating dow n the middle of the river, and taking a tik iff, brought to the shore w hat was recognized a Taffe's boat. Mr. Riggs telephoned to Grants a message to be sent to Tafle at Celilo, announcing that his boat bad been secured. This mes sage naturally aroused the people of Grants who at once commenced a search for Taffe and Hogan. The quest has been continued today until all arc satis fied that the men must have been drowned, although nothing has been seen of the bodies, which were probably swept down with the current. The sup position is that the unfortunate men tried to tack down the river, which was very rough, as it always is at this stage when a strong up-stream wind blows against tbe rapid current, and that a sudden gust caused the boat to careen and throw its occupants overboard. This is very likely, ns the boat when found was upright, though full of water, and the sack of wheat was still aboard. Mr. Taffe lost bis left arm some years ago when iu the employ of the Union Pacific out of Ogden, and was probably unable to help himself. The only child of bis parents, he was a remarkably In telligent and capable man, and was extremely useful nt bis father's fish ery, and Mr. and Mrs. Taffe, who are Woming advanced in years, will feel his loss sorely. The news was taken to his mother last night by Conductor Rice, of the Union Pa cific, who found her standing on the river bank, although her hour for retiring was long past. She at once be sought him to tell her the worst, as she had felt all day that some evil was atiout to befall them. When told of her son's death, crying "The cruel river has claimed him at last," she fell senseless, and is still in a precarious condition. A Nw Kip Van Wlr-kle. A trainload of mutton sheep are to be sent to Chicago from Pendleton soon. If the experiment proves successful ex tensive future shipments msy be looked for. Yakima Republic. Yes, Indeed, neighbor. You can bank on future shipments every little while. By the way, your item reads like it has been resurrected from a 20 years' sleep. Have you been up in the mountains lately, and did you notice any rust on your scissors? Surely you do not recognize Pendleton. She has got over the experimental stage long ago and lias shiped carloads upon car loads of sheep for goodness knows how long. A,bout one hundred and fort) miles from Pendleton is a place called The Dalles. Perhaps it would surprise you to leara that seven traiu loads have also been shipiied from this point within the last two months. J. A. Anderson shipped four, F'argher Bros, two and Pbil Brogan one. The total number of sheep shipped to Chicago lias lieen about 2",(XX, at an average profit of about $3,500 per train load. "Put this Frlt Growers Organised. Ftastern Oregon will have a good crop of fruit this season, except (icaches, which are generally short in all sections. Within a very few days large shipments should be made from The Dalles. Here tofore, through lack of organization, but few have received good prices for their fruit. This has been due to a lack of organization, which will be remedied this year. This season a number of our most prominent fruit raisers have en tered into a combination whereby the Farl Fruit Company will handle their fruit, for which the highest market prices are assured. J. A. McDonald, of that company, wus in the city yester day making the final arrangements. The fruit is to be properly graded and packed In this city arid sbipjied in car load lots. Everyone who raises fruit for sale should join this organization, no matter how small tbe output. The tendency will be to make even a better local market than ever before. That "Krt-lunlve" Affair. F'ditok Ciikonu'i.b We notice in the columns of the Times-Mountaineer and Wasco Sun, that an alleged Tax-payer and one Plebeian have a small kick com ing on account of the manner in which the representative of the city enter taiued the officers of the Monterey. Allow us to say for the information of aforesaiil fiersons, and to all others w ho may feel aggrieved because they were not Invited to participate in the ban quet, that we found the amount sub scriljed entirely inadequate to entertain the whole city. It is true that the council beM a srecial session on FiMuy evening for the purpose of devising some means of entertaining these people and extending to them the eou'rte-ies which we considered were duo to them from the city. It was not intended (us the Sun man siiy) "i rtrlumf njfnir aityhoir" but an sff iir that would place our fair city mi a creditable position anil make her citizens feel that they had done the proper thing. At the meeting of the council the mayor stated that the object of the call was to make arrangements for receiving theofliceis of the United States monitor Monterey and to appropriate a small sum of money to bo used only in case It wos needed for the entertainment of the visitors, but that l thought a sufficient amount could be raised w ithout taking a dollar from the city treasury. The council thereupon appropriated the sum of $50 and the mayor raised by subscription a like amount. Hut as the wbolo entertainment cost only $4ri, we found that it would not be necessary to uso the city's money, and the recorder was instructed not to make any minutes of the proceedings, as there was some question as to the legality of the meet ing, one of the members not having been notified. We trust that the alxivo explanation will be fully satisfactory to "Taxpayer," "Plebeian" and all others who have any interest in the matter. W. FJ. Rinkiiaht, 5Iayor. G. C. Khiiki.man, Chas. F. Laukr, W. II. Butts, Paul Krkkt, T. A. Hudson, Council men. Ktrlcken ltllnd. A strange case, and one that is excit ing much attention among physicians in Idaho, ia thus reported by tho Lewiston Tribune: "George D. Finn, who lives en the rim iock north of town, was last Saturday stricken perfectly blind. He states that last Saturday morning, be tween 8 and 9 o'clock, he went out to mow some hay for his team, ond after mowing some little time he felt a warm sensation across tho middle of his back and soon he had a vomiting spell. He then returned to tho house about sun down. He went to bed and was soon asleep. After sleeping some two hours be woke up and thought ho would get up and light tho candle. He found the matches and struck one, but could not see, so he threw it away, thinking that it was damp or no good. Ho tried some more with the same result. He then felt bis way to the door to see if he could see any stars, and when he opened it he could not see anything, so he returned to the bed and laid there alone from Saturday night until Monday evening, when a man that used to work for him made his appearance." Family Reunion. By tbe Pomona yesterday there ar rived B. S. and J. M. Huntington of The Dalles, Or,; A. W. Huntington of Baker City, Or., and Dr. T. W. Huntington, S. P. R. 11. surgeon of Sacramento, to be present at the 50th andiversary of the weddiug of their parents, Rev. and Mrs. C. A. Huntington. Mrs. Clark of Port land, Or., a daughter, and Lutie and Fred Huntington of Wooland, Cal., children of son now dead, have been here for some time. These with the children of Mrs. Clark and those of A. J. Monroe and wife of this city will make quite a family reunion six chil dren and eight grandchildren, who will attend the golden wedding to be cele brated at the Congregational church next Tuesday evening. Humboldt Times. Boating- I'artjr. A merry party, consisting of Misses Sula Ruch, Nellie Michel!, Ruth Cooper, Minnie Gosser, Myrtle Michell, Aimee Newman, Iora Morris, Caddie Booth, Florence Iewis, and Messrs. Jno. Booth, Fred Wilson, Bert Phelps, Malcolm Jameson, Hayward Riddell, Arthur Clark, (iillard Snowden, John Hertz and John Hampshire, spent a portion of last evening on the river. Leaving the Regulator landing in row boats they crossed the river, and repairing to the largo grain platform which stands at the brow of tho bluff, and was nicely decorated with Chinese lanterns, they passed a pleasant hour. After a row up the river anil a drift down to the dock they journeyed home. I nrln Iltifur. The recorder lined a sheepherder 10 this morning, and accepted a silver watch for security. This, with the pis tol tbe other day, in default of o, makes a pretty good start for a 3-ball shop. The recorder will make a pretty fuir uncle aliont tho time his term of oflice expires. By that time he ought to have an excellent miscellaneous array of guns, knives, watches, clocks, hair pins, sus riender buttons, plated jewelry, safety pins, overcoats, etc., etc. Compliments Orrgon. Comptroller of Currency Fkles un consciously pays Oregon a high compli ment in his statenicnf made in Sew York. He refers to the disasters which have fallen upon tho "speculative In stitutions and bourn cities of the states of Washington, California, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri." Taking the states north and south of Oregon as illustrative frightful examples it is surely a compliment riot to refer to Oregon IN TROUBLE AGAIN. . I. Taylor t'haravd With the Km. lirolriilfnt of 0J.1O.OOU. Today's Oregonian says: Among the passenger who arrived in the city last evening on the Union Pacific train Has Rev. II. I). Taylor, of Tho Dalles. Mr. Taylor had an escort in the person of an officer of the law, who had him under arrest on the charge of embezzlement. F-T some time Mr. Taylor has given morn attention to earthly mattei than to spiritual affairs. In other words, he has abandoned the pulpit in order to en gage in real estate speculations. He has been attending to the business of tbe Interstate Investment Compuny, which had for sale a large tract of laud at The Dulles. lie was the manager of tho concern, and handled all tho cash. The principal oilice was located In Portland, but part of .Mr. Taylor's duties was to travel about the country in tho interests of the company. Sev eral weekn ago tho stockholder became anxious regarding the money they had invested and made an inquiry into the condition of affairs. The result was that according to their etatement Taylor was found to be short about $254,000. Suit was then begun for au accounting and at the same time the investigation proceeded. Matters assumed such a serious form that they wero taken before the grand jury. This body spent two weeks quietly examining Taylor's ac counts, and on Tuesday an indictment, charging him with embezzlement of 00.000, was returned. A warrant was immediately issued and placed in tho hands of Deputy Sheriff Morgan. Taylor was at The Dalles and the official went there and arrested him. The warrant that Deputy Morgan held contained a provision that Taylor could be released only upon furnishing bonds in the sum of 2-3,000. This was the or der of Judge Munly, of the state circuit court. But the deputy obeyed the in structions of bis euperior officer, and Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, accompanied by Judge Williams, were driven in a car riage to the Perkins hotel. The action of tho sheriff is criticised in allowing him to go to the hotel instead of the county jail, but as the sheriff's bond is more than suflitient to cover the bond, in caso of Taylor's disappearance, it is Kelly's risk. It is not probable that Mr. Taylor w ill attempt to escape, how ever, as he claims to be able to clear himself of the charges made against him and anticipates no difficulty today in furnishing the bonds required. TAYLOR TALKS. "It is all a blackmailing scheme,' said Mr. Taylor, "but in obedience to in structions froi'i my attorney, Judge Williams, I will not say anything about the matter at present further than that I am Innocent of the charge. "Oh, yes, I am a member of the com pany,' remarked the reverend gentle man, as he coolly lighted a fragrant Havana, "and hold tho position of man ager. My accounts will bo found all right when properly investigated, but outside of pronouncing my arrest to be a vicious, blackmailing scheme, I prefer to say nothing further regarding it." Rev. Mr. Taylor could not be, induced to tell whom he suspected of being his persecutors or explain their motives. Judge Williams has told him to keep quiet and he obeyed the instructions of his counsel. Thli Year's Crops. Editor Chkoniclk I have travelled over a good deal of country in the last few duvs on horseback and find that while Wasco county will generally yield good grain crops, the neighboring re gions will not fare so well. Around Ar lington the yield will average about 6 bushels to the acre. In the country known as the Jordan Huttes, it will do a little better, perhaps 12 or 15 bushels. In the 8 Milo section, Morrow county, the crops ore very poor and not over 8 bushels to tho acre will be harvested. Peter Brainer has a field of 1,000 acres, and he will not cut over (100 acres of it; it is being taken by the wild mustard. In Rock creek canyon, from Henry Moore's place to Leonard's bridge, crops are pood on the creek. The Condon and 30-Mile country will yield about 10 bushels to the acre. In the Wasco iiml Hay creek country do n to the break of tho hills lending into Grants, the cinpa will he pretty good, and will yield a gen eral average of lri bushels to tho acre. Waiikks Mii.ikh.
