A telegram was sent at once to Mr. Will Moody at The Dalles, who chartered an engine, and securing Dr. Rinehart, hurried to the scene. The engine left about 2 o'clock. The In formation states that while her injuries are not believed to be fatal, she is very badly burned. The first services held in the Christian church were the dedication ceremonies at 11 o'clock yesterday. The church was taxed to it fullest capacity and many were unable to find seats. Rev. Cow den preached a most impressive dis course and Miss Clara Moore rendered a very thrilling solo. At the close of the service Dr. Eehelman read a financial statement of the church, and a collec tion was taken amounting to $750, which is to be paid within three months. This practically clear the church of debt, as the remaining $1,000 owed is in the form of a four years note with Interest at 4 per cent. The first cost of the new church was $3,800. Tuesday'! Daily.

A IHmuhiji Mail by llu(h farmer While Dlta-lai; a Well. Mr. Hugh Farmer, while digging a well on his farm about three miles from town, took out a black solid subetance, which has a greasy feeling, will cut like cheese, and an ex periuient showed it to be inflammable. It was a piece by itself and no lode or deposit can be traced fram it. A Ciibonu'I.s reporter took it to Mr. A. Tilzer, the chemist at Blakeley & Houghton', for examination. He pro nounced it an inferior quality of plum bago, still not so inferior but what a good mine of it would be worth millions of dollars to the owner. Plumbago, though found and mined in large quan tities in Barrowdale, Eng., is very rare in the United States. Mr. Tilzer found the specific gravity of the sample to be 2.4, which is lighter than the best qual ity of the material. Plumbago or graphite Is one of' the three forms of carbon, the other two being diamond, a crystalized form, and charcoal, which is tbe crude state. Plumbago is used for making pencils and for the coating of mirrors. It is used also to oxidize air to make carbonic acid. The discovery proves that there is plumbago in tbe country, and tbe man who discover a mine of it may count himself a millionaire, if he manages properly. I'etltlon of Battlers. A petition is being circulated for sig natures throughout this county, and it ia recommended that adjoining counties circulate a similar one, aa follows: To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep resentative! in Congress Assembled: We the undersigned citizens of the United States, and of the state of Ore gon, who are settlers of the lands here tofore granted to the Northern Pacific Railroad Co., and restored to the public domain by act of congress of Sept. 29th, 1890, would respectfully represent that the recent financial embarrassments that have so largely affected the coun try at large, will prevent large numbers of settlers on these lands from making payments thereon within the time re quired, and who will, unless granted further time, lose their lands. We would respectfully ask that the time for making final payment on these lands be extended from January 1st, 1S94, for three years, or until January 1st, 1897. Forest Fires. The forest fires this year are more tban usually destructive. Terrible fires are now raging on both side of the river, and train men report that the mountain are ablaze from Rooster Rock to this side of Shell Rock on tbe Wash ington aide. Mr. Vanbibber, who was compelled to fight so hard last year to save his bay, i alarmed over the same probability this season. He saved his bay last year only by some quick plow ing and setting of back fires, and many head of hi stock were obliged to run as fast a they could to prevent being caught by the onward-rushing billow of flame. The smoke is now so dense that it is bard to locate the fires, but tbey are doing a terrible work of devastation. Adrartlaed Letters.
