The road from the I.ock to Hood River it about completed, the main work now being between Hood Uiver and the first tunnel beyond lCo wena, a distance of about ten mile.

All interested, whether firemen or not, in sending a team to the annual meeting of the fire association at Oregon City, to compete for the prizes, will pleate attend a meeting at the council chambers, city ball, this evening at 8 ::0. The city it very quiet on account of all our farmers lieiug busy in their bar vett fields, only coming in town for tnp plies, or to have a piece of broken nia obinery repaired. The crops are extra ordinarily good, but the price of wheat is so low that there it nothing in rait ing it. A burglar entered Fultou'i shoe abop last evening about dark. He gained en trance to the building by climbing down through a bole in the woodshed back of Judge Story' office, and then climbed over a partition into Fultou't kitchen. There is no evidence of criminal inteut In burglarizing a shomaker'e shop, it being more of an indication of insanity. There was a little excitement at the com t house this morning over the disap pearance of Ole Oleson, a prisoner serv ing a short term for the larceny of a pair of shoes at Hood Kiver. Mr. Fitz gerald, the janitor, had Oleson helping him trim the tree around the court house and paint the fence. leaving him for a few moments, he was not to bo seen when Fitzgerald returned. The latter at once gave the alarm and a search for the missing man began ; but in a few moment be came back him tcU and went to work.

The Oregonian, in speaking of the man 8chuert breaking the window of the Umatilla House recently, gett the tory from U. 1. passenger! who wero here. The story is in the main correct but a it came from people who see things and seeing tell, there is of course an error in it and one that wrongs the proprietors of the I'matiHa. The man broke the windows because Mr. Johnson, the telegraph oiierator, w hose otlice it in the Umatilla House, would not give him a pas to Portland over the D. 1'. fc A. N. Co ' line. Col. Hinnott it one of the ' most libeial of men, and it i safe to say i that no hungry nmn wat ever turned away by him, whether he had money or not. Thousands of old t liners who passed up ami down tlie Columbia in the days when a man might l rich one day and broke the next, hold the old house in kindly recollection for tlie lift Sinnott A Hundley gave them when their needs were dire. Outside of the cause the tory it correct, but the cause named did not exist either in this rase or any other. A Mntall faaar?. Mhnhi. Hcmlow A Kice of Salt Lake, who are conducting a cannery at that place, are here with a view to instruct ing a class in the art of canning fruits, vegetable and meats, liy the aid of a camp kettle and .soldering iron they went to work Monday in the open air in rear of West' butcher hop and demon strated what could bo done in the way of canning beef. We were shown a (ample of their canned beef, which we think at good as any F.astern brand we ever tasted. It is generally supposed that to engage in the cannery business requires considerable capital, but these gentle men have demonstrated what can tie done by the simplest kind of an outfit, and say that the cost of appliances nec essary for putting np 3,000 to 4,000 cans a day need not exceed $50. (ilacier. iMrurporatlnn I'arra Drawn. We understand article of incorpora tion have been drawn today, ami that unlets parties do not mean what they say, work will be commenced on the cannery building within a week.

Stock books will lie opened at once, and each and every one of onr citizens should see to it that they assist to the best of their ability in aiding the good work. Opea Twrltt Mile. West. The trestle across Mill creek wat fin ished Sunday morning at rl:20. Tbit will open tne road to a point half way between Kowena and Mosier aa toon as a mile of track it laid the other tide of Mill creek. When the road wat being repaired between this place and Celilo no rails conld be procured, and so a force of men were set at work a mile west of here taking np the rail and hauling them on a push car to a point near the shops. They were carried through the shops, loaded on a car, and taken to the front. The outside spikes are all in, to that the rail can lie put back in a very short time. Advertised E.ftter.

As the water receded and left the buildings dry, Mr. Beall started for The Dalle with the intention of having the lower story of the Cosmoolitan hotel cleaned up and put in good order. He was taken tick in Portland and to wrote np to Mr. Klnertly to have the work done. He made a good selection, too, for that gentleman hat put the building in flrst-clast condition. The jirch along the outside, which washed away, hut been replaced and new studding and timbers have been placed under the rear end of the building. The ollice, dining room, billiard parlor and sample i rooms; in fact the entire lower story has been re-papered and painted, and it it in the best condition it bus been in since the building was new. , A Karflar.

After making ttiis haul, he went into a ro m occupied by Tom Sullivan. The latter awoke and seeing the man at hi bereau, stepped np ivehitid him aud struck him in the back of the nock. Another blow knocked him out of the door, and he fell down stairs, picked himself up aud run. Sullivan biting barefooted could not give chase aud so he escaped. All frc.

We have received a communication on the tujbect of the town cow, and though it it well written and properly tigned we do not like to givs it space, and for sev eral reasons. The cow question bat h.ne more to embitter life, separate families, and destroy the piece and quiet ness of entire communities than all others. Like all other question there are two sides to the cow argument ; the cow't side and the other tide. Those who own coat are on the cows aide; those w ho don't own cows, and do own gardens and shrubbery, are on the other tide, and there to stay. I ur corres pondent complaint bitterly that while life it made on joyous round of pleasure for the cow it it tnrned into gall and wormwood for him. We don't own any cow, and we don't own any city property, bat board at the Umatilla House, that gett itt milk from Vanbibber, who keeps hit cowl out of town, and to neither directly nor indirectly are we a party to the cow squabble on either aide. We don't propose to be. We battled once in the newspaper columns against the cow. An irate Amazonian, champion of the fullest freedom to the cow com mensurate with ber happiness, main tained the other aide of the fight by word of mouth, and the presence of a club. We buy our butter. The cow question it too deep for ut. We buy what milk we use too frozen. Durn a cow, anyhow. Next to the horse the cow it the noblest animal, except a dog. The cow does not give milk, she stands still, sometimes, while it is removed from ber traveling reticule, being pulled out by the handles. Still we never could tee why the cow to craved a diet of choice ropes and valuable shrubbery. Her butter or milk alwayt goes at the same price. Columbia river water it better than all the rosea to enhance the value of ber yield. Why shouldn't she run at large if the wants to? Some people neglect their plants and bushes, and the cow trims them up. She alto reminds the man of the house that he hat left the front gate open, and doet it delicately ; becauw the always wakes the man' wife np first, or the hired girl, and the tell him, and he gett np and exhibitt hit pyjama to the neighbors by the light of the silver moon, also hia temper, the latter can be best teen on a dark night. Of course the cow can run at large at night, why thouldn't the? Doesn't the chew gum and furnish it herself? Then why shouldn't the chewa to do as the please? Of course the cud. If we owned cow it migUt be different, but that' the way we feel about it now. A man gett tired seeing tbe same old brush and flowers in a yard anyway, and if it wasn't for the cow, there would be no change never. We like a change; and then the girlt ought to keep the gate fastened anyhow; that's what keeps the cow and the other calf out. That's what it does, and that's where we propose to stand on this question, till the dilap idated liDcn comet off the shrubbery. The Depot Will bo Matted. Mr. lioliert Burns, the traveling freight agent of the O. II. & S. Co. came up here Tuesday to interview the citi zens with reference to the question of locating a freight and paseenger depot to take the place d the one recently de stroyed at Grant. The followingcitizeut by invitation met Mr. Burns ut the Cen tral hotel : Messrs. Wm. Van Vactor, W. K. Dunbur, N. B. Brook. Almon Baker, Col. K. W. Pike and the editor of the Sentinel. Mr. i'.urns stated plainly that to rebuild a depot at Grants was simply out of t!ej question. The com pany was determined on a new location and its only interest was to satisty the majority of its patrons on this side of the river. Three locations offered them selves, namely, Knfus, Biggs and Mur ray' orchard, aud the latter was ap proved unanimously as being more con venient and accessible to the majority of those who will ue it than either Rnfus or Bijigs. It w ill be remomliered that the people on the Oregon tide of the river, offer in the event of the depot beiog located at Mnrray'e to fcr.S'd a good grade up the Jordan canyon, the foot of which is nearly opposite the proposed depot site. It it believed that a grade in no way inferior to the Pretoy grade and po?ibly easier can be built up the Jordan canyon, entirely out of the wav (.f sand drifts, ami possibly a mile shorter, but certainly no longer to j the promised depot than the present grade is to Grant. The location of a depot and townsite at Murray's ill be a pleaeant change to those w ho I have U'en compelled to live and do i busmehs in the old town of Giant, as it, it; entirely free from sand drift p, is well j protected with shade and orchard trees j aud has abundance of living water for irrigation and household purposes. The Hon. K. McCoy, G. W. Smith and Sam Curson have entered into a iHind with the tl. I. A X. Co. to build a good road up the Jordan canyon with out cost to Klickitat county and furnish a ferry at the proposed landing, provided the company move the depot from tirant to Murray's.

The Dufur baseball club and Tygh club met at this place yesterday and quite an interesting game took place. Dufur, 37, Tygh, 17. The Tygh boys aro deserving of much praise at they had just organized, but give them two week's practice and the Dufur boy will have to look out for their laurel. But the Dufur boyt are pretty hard to beat for an amateur club. Mrt. Frank Menefee, after visiting her manv friendt and relatives, hat returned to The Dalles. Mr. Geo. Dufur wag here Wednesday, and while playing ball had the mis fortune to dislocate his elbow. Dr. Deitrich set it and all was well last we heard. Mr. Howlett oi Kagle Creek, who hat been visiting hit daughter, Mrt. Joe Douglass, returned home today. Prof. Frazier, Mr. Chat. Stoughton and Mr. Xeal have gone to Warm Springs for an outing. Mr. Albert Cook and family from Damascus aro visiting relatives here. Rev. J. W. Jenkins preached here Sunday and organized a Young People's Society of Christian F.ndeavor. Rev.

The tribe of Improved Order of Red Men recently formed here it getting along nicely in spite of the untoward events that befell it at its inception. Of course what goet on inside of the lodge is kept secret, but ttill a story has leaked out, probably through some little bird, that shows what hard lack the warriors experienced. After tbe in itiatory ceremonies had been performed, the visiting brethren from Portland be ing anxious to get away on the morning boat, it was auggested that a council be formed and that the whole tribe pat on their war paint, for th occasion. A keg of vermillion was left in the ante - room and the tired braves each pro ceeded to insert hie hand and paint hit face that bright red color so admired by the noble savage. When they were ad milted to the presence of the Sagamore and Sachems tbe former gave one glance and fell in a dead faint, while the Sachems had to be held by the braves to prevent them tomahawking the whole crowd. Some wretch bad changed the paint keg, and instead of posing aa In dian! they came in covered with lamn black. ' Small Picnic. 1 A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wilson, Mr. ond Mrt. T. J. Crandall and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Glenn went to Hood River yesterday, taking their lunch baskets, and having a regular picnic. The party camped at Coe' tpring, which supplies the water for the town of Hood River, and w Inch it one of the coolest and most delightful spot in that beautiful valley. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson bad their bicycle with them and thoroughly enjoyed a ride over the magnificent shaded country roads. Hugh Glenn ate seven times besides in terviewing the steward on the boat for a lunch, and the last we saw of him last night he wat trying to make arrange ments with Col. Sinnott for supper. All of w Inch goes to show that as an appe tizer a trip to Hood River is a success. A. Had Kaperleace. We learn from Mrs. Elsie Xunn the following particulars concerning the death of her little daughter Etfie, which occurred on Iwer Trout on the 12tb inst : While the mother rnd child were alone that day the child began taking spasms suddenly. After the second attack the mother gathered the child in her arm antl started for the nearest neighbor's, having to wade Trout creek on the way. She gave out and laid the child dow n and went on. None but a mother can realize how Mrs. Nunn felt when the returned to the spot with one of the neighbors and found her only chiltl dead.

He wore a fancy coat of many different colors, hence he was called the pietl piper. The commission er., of the town jrive him orders to de stroy the rats, antl promised him a re ward when he should have done so. But after the work was completed the; promised reward was withheld, and the piper in reveng-e blew his magical pipe atrain and by its wonderful tones drew all the children of the town to a ! cavern in a hillside The opening" of the cavern win closed aa soon aa th children hud entered, antl their par ents never saw them ayaiu. And so our proverbial expression, ''pay the piper," sprang from this legend, and it conveys a warninjr to all men U pay everyone his just dues, or be on the lookout for a revenjre as cruel as that of the Pied Piper of Ilamelin.
