The residents of the eastern portion of the bluff, embracing Thompson' addition, are desirous of tiavinj: a school bouse similar to the one at the head of Union street. The management of the schools lias been very efficient, both the directors and the teachers co-operating heartily to the desired end. The schools comprise eight grades and the ranee of studies is a wide one, extending from the primary charts to the senior year, which in eludes Uarnes' Fifth Keader, Swiuton's SH)llin(t Blank, No. 5, Kpencerian Copy Book, No. 7, Fish's Written Arithmetic, No. 2, Sell's Lessons on English, Barnes' Language.

Gat the Wrong Mm. Officer Quintan, of the Third-street fqnud, saw a man acting in a moat peculiar manner this morning near Mor rison street. The fellow was dancing sort of wierd jig, and gesticulating in violent manner. His tongue seemed to work at the wromr end as the officer collared him. "It's a dom foine jag yer hev on ye ; kom wid me," said Captain Quintan. The prisoner acted as though be was a contortionist and came near wriggling awav from the officer, when barber near by stepped up and informed the officer that the fellow bad the St, Vitus' dance, and the latter was released. The officer, in a puziled manner, asked the barber "fwhere the divil did that moo get his whosky?" Dispatch. THE PLAYFUL LIGHTNING. an tin- The Wallowa Valley. A private letter received from (Dalles; Jady who is visiting in Wallowa valley rgives this interesting extract from a des cription of a ride through that beautiful country. "We arrived at LaGrande about noon and were afraid the Elgin train had gone at the regular time, but it bad waited, so we rode across the valley through big iarms and orchards on a rough road and " in -a. rattling car. We were the only passengers, except one old man. After leaving Elgin we stopped after ithe de scent of an awful bill at Wallowa bridge, where the two mountain streams Wal Jowa .iiid Minam unite. At 7:30 next -morning we started and at noon camped at Wallowa store where we ate dinner - SDcroumied by a lot of Indians, mounted and driving a band of horses. They were a wild looking lot of people. All bad guns and cartridge bells, fine blank ets and many papooses. The ride that morning was the prettiest for nine miles up a canyon with the Grande Ronde river at oim side and the mountains high on either side of us. At 4 p. m. we came out of the dry canyons into the xnost beautiful valley. Enterprise was jiiear and seven miles across was Joseph. Dehind Joseph were the lovely Blue mountains covered with enow half way down. The old chief's headquarters were in the mountains back of the town of Joseph. The cun was low and the houses of Joeepb were white and the town looked like a nest of white eggs away oft. Wallowa Lake, which I have heard described, lies two miles back of Joseph, a lake of crystal clear water in the deep timber. From boats, when the light is propitious, trees can be seen away down in the water, standing as they grew. We hope to take a ride there before going borne. This is a most deligbful place. Jnst a piece of the dark blue snow capped mountains ebow at the south end of the low atrip of ground between the bare hills, and these bills are dotted with cattle, bands are driven past as this is cattle selling time. Coyotes bowl at night on tue near inns, lhe elevation here is 6,000 feet and the air like that of Cloud Cap Inn. We have had ice every morn ing and the air is very cold at night." Two East l'ortlanriers Have pleasant Experlenoe. Charles E. Fields, the East Portland real estate man, and Dan Jackson, the popular liveryman of the other side of the river, had an experience, a day or two ago, which neither of thorn is anx ious to have repeated. They were coming from Albany by team, and were in the bills south of Salem Tuesday afternoon during the heavy rain storm. The conversation had turned on storms in the East. Jackson bad been telling Bbout a man and a horse being struck by lightning and instantly killed, somewhere in Pennsylvania several years ago. Charlie had recounted several stories hinging on the freaks of lightning in Wisconsin, and Jackson had just remarked that it was seldom lightning was seen in this country, when suddenly both were. blinded by a flush ; the horses dropped on their knees, and Jackson's hat fall ing off caught on his eyes, which pro truded far enough to catch it. The stroke had evidently fallen in close proximitv to them, and, while blinded by the lightning, neither men nor horses were severelv shocked. Both men admit they were just a little fright ened at their narrow escape, and they had driven a mile and a balf before either Bpoke a word after the narrow escape. this was the nrst anu oniy lightning flash they saw during the storm, and neither of them told any more stories of terrible storms on the trip home.

WHY NOT? a Tlaa ".uee;aeted la Hava a Fruit Vom paay ef Our Own. The exi erience of our fruit growers with the Earl Fruit company this year war far from satisfactory. They lealiied less for their products than without their aid. The reason appears to be be cause of excessive charges incidental to loading and shipping. If a fruit growers' association is such a beneficial organization why would it not be a good plan to have one of our own, and save these foreign profits for our selves? A buildingcould easily be found on First street at almost a nominal rent, which would answer all the purposes ot a cold storage warehouse, besides sup plying an otllee room and packing rooms. A side track could easily lie laid. Correspondence should be opened with Chicago, New York, Denver, St. Louis, Helena, Spokane Falls, Tacoma, Seattle, etc., and all buttiness could be transacted with as good results as are enjoyed by any other fruitcompany. It would save delay, save money and save annoyance. Then there is something in not being subject to the dictation of a foreign agent, some pleasure in handling our own fruit to the best advantage, anu some pride in transacting our own bus iness. The tendency of the aye is for or ganization and those classes who do not are apt to be left behind in the raco. Tiik Ciikonu'i.k will lie pleased to hoar from our fruit growers on this important subject and will give space to any one who would like to see such an organization. thee. . Kl)u(. PERSONAL MENTION. OREGON NEWS. Irving-Terry. The special train carrying the mem bers of the Irving-Terry troupe arrived at one o'clock today. The train was niade up of four passenger coaches and two baggage cars, in charge of Conduc tor Coioan and Engineer Curtis. Quite a crowd waa on band to witness the noted players one gentleman remark ing that it cost five dollars to bear them but lie could tee them for nothing. The party, which is strikingly English in appearance, has its next play night billed in fit. Paul and goes directly there. The members amused them selves during the balf hour they were here by strolling around the streets and looking at Indian curios displayed in stores on Front street. At tha Lack. Mr. Geo. P. Morgan, who wai in town yesterday, say that thera is a force, all told, of 400 men working at the locks.

Salem now has an ordinance that ef fectually shuts out all peddlers. Those who have been in the habit of soliciting orders for shirts and clothing will now be compelled to pay a license of $" a day. John Brown, who used to be a resident of Perrydale, drew the body of a man out of the water! ant Sunday at Oswego; the man was drowned in a canal about twelve feet wide while lie was trying to rescue a little girl from a watery grave. We have just learned of two farmers in Oregon wbo were on a trade. One bad alfalfa bay and the other wool which they had agreed to trade ton for ton even. When it came to the test, the man with the hay backed down. Co lumbia Chronicle. The trial of G. W. Manville, for the murder of J. S. McCabe a few months ago, has resulted in a verdict of murder in the second degree. The two ran ad joining ranches and had a dispute over a division fence. Manville said that McCabe was stealing bis rails to repair the fence and one morning went down to see about it, taking bis shotgun with him. He saw McCabe also with a shot gun, and the former gave the latter a charge in the stomach. Chief Peo, a Umatilla reservation brave, is the happy possessor of a pri vate distillery, says the Milton Eagle, and can supply himself with "fire-water" without taking the trouble of bunting up a white man who is willing to shoulder the responsibility of bartering whisky to Indians. Whether or not Peo supplies bis dusky brethren with the "ardent" our informant does not state. Who says the Indians are not civilized? Kaved From Iath By Onion. There has no doubt been more lives of children aaved from death in croup or whooping cough by the use of onions than by any other known remedy, our mothers nsed to make poultices of them, or a syrnp, which waa always effectual in breaking np a cough or cold. Ir.
