The steamer Regulator now makes
close connections with the Ialles City
at the Cascades. The transfer is made

! A small numltfr of I'hrirtinn ladies of
The Dalles were aea!cd to some three
months ago by Mrs. P. II. McG nl'ey, to
send her to the Keeiev Inrtilnte for
treatment of the morphine luil.il. to
which she had bren, addicted f .r a
numtx-r of veais. The ix-l u
answered by this small handful of
Christian workers by sending Mr. Mc
Gulfey to Forest C rove and under date
of July ISth, they received in siilwtunce
the following letter from her:
"Yon can never know how glad I was
to receive your nice, kind letter, or how
much good It did me. I was feeling very
much disheartened, hi much so that I
have felt sometimes that I have more
than my share of trouble and sorrow,
and that death alone can solve my life's
problem, but I doubt not it is all for
some good purpose. My faith is strongi-r
in both God and humanity than ever
before. You ladies don't realize the
good w ork you have done. My life was
almoct intolerable. I don't think I
could have borne It much longer. You
have saved a soul from eternal death,
and made my life at least Ktirable, be
it long or short. I wish I had langnage
to express my thanks for your kindness,
but I have not. Such deeds cannot be
rewarded in this world. I can oniy
commend you to the Giver of all good,
with whifpered petitions that he reward
you as liecomes the benefactor of man
kind. -J have been off the morphine
about ten days now. I am weak and
nervous, but glad, Oh, so glad I can
stand it all. God has been my strength
and I am getting better all the while.
Hope soon to be able to do something
for myself. I can never say too much
in favor of the Keeley cure or of Dr.
Taylor, who has been untiring in his
efforts in my behalf. Oh, how I long to
see my little ones.
Jenmk W. MiGi ikxy.
In this connection the ladies request
os to say that their means are exhausted,
and in order to complete the good work
they have begun they must have more
money. To raiee it they will have- an
outdoor ice cream festival on the school
grounds at the brick schoolbouse, com
mencing at 6 :30 Tuesday evening next.
The proceeds will be devoted entirely to
tbe further caring for the lady above
named, and the patronage should 1

Returns are in from the strawberry
shipments from Hood River, and tbe
losses sustained by our fruit growers can
now be computed. The 1500 crates
shipped East to Ienver and Omaha just
paid the freight. The crates alone cost
$300 besides tbe cost of packing and
picking (2 cents a pound), and other
work. A very small part of the crop
was picked and shipped, some growers
wisely choosing to let their berries rot
on the vines rather than take the
chances of shipment under the existing
circumstances. A mistake was made in
not shipping more of our berries to the
Montaua markets by way of , Portland.
The Portland commission bouses were
nol long in finding out the markets
there, and our berries were shipped by
them, but oar fruit growers did not reap
tbe benefit.
Mr. A. P. Jones shipped one crate,
his first, to Helena, on the 20th of May,
tbe day before the railroad closed, which
netted for him $7. After the fall in
prices in Portland, he made another
shipment to Helena on tbe date tbe
berries were shipped to Denver that did
not pay the freight. This was his last
shipment and they netted him 3.50 a
crate. Mr. Jones' crop was estimated
at 600 crates. He had contracted with
parties in Wyoming for 200 crates at
3.G0 a crate delivered on the cars here.
He had received the same prices from
these same parties for the two years
previous. Tbe season of '94 was a dis
astrous one for tbe strawberry men of
Hood River, but undismayed, they are
preparing to plant more acres of the
same fruit, knowing they will make
good their loases in tbe future.
M'a Caaaa the Mala?
It was last Saturday night, iu fact it
was paet the stilly midnight hour, and
we might as well own up to it, it was
last Sunday morning about half past
two o'clock, when all honest folk were
soundly slumbering, the last of all times
one would naturally suppose for such
deviltry, there was turned loose in our
little city a genuine live canned mule.
Many was tbe devout prayer that as
cended to the Supreme Ruler of the
universe within the space of about one
hour of charivari a la mule power, tor a
visitation of divine providence just long
enough and of that quality that would
not only have a quieting influence upon
the nerves of a justly indignant city,
but that au abrupt and speedy judgment
be meted out to the fiend incarnate who
would perpetrate such an outrage upon
au indulgent community and Uncle A.
Hamilton's mule. Tbe mule, finding a
five gallon can of rocks securely fas
tened to his neatly trimmed caudal ap
pendage, started for the country poet
haste, but apparently changed his mind
and continued to serenade the town by
wards, first taxing in Newsome addi
tion, then crossing the Ochoco, appar
ently hunting the Baptist parsonage.
There he kicked and he brayed, and be
brayed and he kicked. When he had
thoroughly arouted that portion ol the
I city, he struck oat for another, finally
j winding up in front of the hotel, where
I he stood and brayed until sun-up.
I There are individuals in this world who
j really enjoy such a proceeding, but we
are proud to Ktste that audi are few in
' Prim-ille, and if such act continue to
xvnr, t l.t-y will lie fewer. Prlneville

Sunday morning a trestM on the
I Union Pacific road at Alto, Wash., fell
with a freight train. The trestle is !Hl
foet high and that anyone on the train
escaped death is miraculous. Knginecr
James Jesse felt the trestle giving and
pulled the throttle of his engine wide
open, breaking it loose from the tender.
The engine shot ahead, jumped the
track and ran a short distance oij the
ties, but reached a bent that stood, so
that it did not go down with tbe wreck.
Fifteen cars loaded with wheat, two with
flour and the caboose went over, and
were smashed to kindling wood. No
one was killed, but Conductor Watson
has a compound fracture of the left arm,
a fracture of the right arm above the
elbow, bis right shoulder is dislocated
and his ankle sprained. David Wright,
a brakeman, has three ribs broken on
his right side, his left forearm is broken
and his ankle dislocated. He is also
bruised and cut badly, but the doctors
say he will recover. Fred Harrison, the
other brakemaL, escaped without serious
injury, buthe is a mass of braises and
cuts. The injured men are being cared
for in the hospital at Walla Walla.
Accident.
A runaway bappouad last Satuiday
which seriously damaged Mr. Thomas
Pollock, who lives three miles from
town, near tbe road leading to Tucker's
mill. Mr. Pollock was coming to town
in an old rickety dog cart. When on
top of the hill south of Dr. Adams' drug
store the horse took fright at something
and ran furiously down the hill, up
setting tbe vehicle and kicking till the
cart was badly demoralized. Mr. Pol
lock was violently thrown to theground,
striking on his left shoulder. He re
mained unconscious till W. P. Watson
and others who witnessed the accident
picked him op and carried him into Dr.
Adams' drug store. The doctor, who
was absent at the time, returned at that
moment, and upon stripping and care
fully examining him, found no bones
broken, but the ligament which binds
the collar bone to tbe shoulder blade
was torn loose and grating could be felt
on moving the clavicle. The doctor gave
him the necessary treatment and sent
him home, W. P. Watson kindly volun
teering to go for a buggy and take the.
old man home. As Mr. Pollock is 78
years old and quite feeble, the doctor
says it will be a long time before the
injury heals. Glacier.

Jill), an aged Indian ol the White
Salmon tribe, wait found lying dead near
Jewett'a place at White Salmon yester
day. The body was found at the foot of
a bluff at least a hundred feet high, and
it was at first supposed be had fallen
over accidentally. On examining into
the matter it was found that he had
struck in the top of an oak tree as he
fell, breaking some of the limbs. What
makes tbe matter look suspicious is that
the body could not have rolled into tbe
position where it was found, and be
sides footprints led from the road up to
where the body lay, and then on around
to the top of the hill. The place where
the body was found was up tbe ravine
just east east of Jewett's place. Tbe
Indians are convinced the old man was
pushed over tbe bluff, and their suspi
cions fall ou an Indian named Frank.
Very-Gated.
Last night about the witching hour of
12, a couple presumably young, leaned
over the front gate of what they sup
posed was the young lady's door yard.
The night was dusky, bordering on
blackness, but thoe living in the bouse
heard voices and taking a peep through
the window saw the outline of a grace
ful female figure, and beside it a man.
There was a gentle but frequent bending
of his head and upturning of hers until
they met and parted, while tbe still
night air was disturbed with a sulnlued
cluck each time like that of an old hen
calling her thickens. How long It was
kept up deponent sayeth not, but the
gait they were kissing at Vas well, it
wasn't the gate they thought it was.
That's all. That's all.

11. Stevens, a professional foot-racer,
and E. M. Shntt, editor of tho Antelope

Sunday, July 2!Hh, Stevens winning.
Mr. Shutt says Stevens is the lst
runner, but as some of the boys got en
thusiastic over the race, and offered to
bet 500 that Steveus could beat Shutt
fifteen feet in a hundred yards, and
were promptly taken up, there will be
another contest between the same men

Hartenting is being protean ted with
vigor, and if our present good weather
continues three weeks the hay of the
present rutting will be in shelter and
stacks.
One day last week the thermometer
stood at 104 in the shade. We have ex
perienced extremely warm weather the
past week, but at present a cool breeze
gives freshness and vigor to the atmos
phere. On the 20th Mr. Wooden met with a
serious accident, and the wonder is it
was not fatal. While on his road to
The Dalles with a load of wool he came
to one of the excellent grades of county
property, that Is generally but a few
inches w ider than a wagon, and after a
few days' rainfall is ready to crumble at
a alight jar. At one of the narrowest
and most headlong points the grade sud
denly gave way, turning the wagon
over in its downward tumble, catching
Mr. Wooden underneath, crushing him
very seriously, breaking one leg at the
ankle, and seriously bruising the other;
also breaking his collar bone and jam
ming a shoulder badly. He suffers
very much with his bruised limb from
cramps, but with all he is bright and
hopeful. He thinks with some bad
lock he meets with some that is good.
Now every attention is paid him that is
possible, the best of food Is brougnthim,
and he will miss harvesting. He is
thankful this time in life that he was
Wooden, or surely, he would have been
crushed out of existence. We find but
few natures that are as cheerful in ad
versity. Dr. llouck is attending physi
cian. S. T. Allen, while on his way home,
met with a serious accident as he "vaa
coming down the Deschutes hill. A
wheel gave way under the break at one
of the most rocky points in tbe road.
Tho lurch cast him on to the break and
from there to the rocks, inflicting a seri
ous wound. But with his usual stub
bornness he drove his team home, and
on reaching there looked as if all the
gattling guns of America had threat
ened him at one time. Am glad to say
at present he has almost entirely re
covered, and is able to go on in his
usual way.
This month, as you will notice, has
been one of many accidents, but fortu
nately none fatal. About the 18th a
young man by the name of Rankins,
who had been breaking horses in the
neighborhood, was thrown from his
horse and seriously mangled in his
right hand and arm by the horse step
ping on him. The horse was sharp
shod, and when it stepped on the arm
it took the flesh to the bone, severing
one of the arteries of the wrist and tear
ing the flesh entirely from the fore
finger. It was necessary to amputate
tbe finger. He is doing very well un
der the care of Dr. Houck.
Mrs. John Gage returned to home
and friends on Saturday's stage much
improved in health and well dowered
by sun and wind. Her baby that was
so seriously ill at Tbe Dalles, has en
tirely recovered, and is fat and saucy.
Rev. Baily of Prineville was with us
Saturday and Sunday, giving us of his
thoughts for a serious digestion. Ife is
a much better speaker than we are used
to. If any of the members of the pres
ent conference should chance to see this,
I adjure them to use their influence to
send us a good speaker, if tbey think
there are any souls here worth redeem
ing. We can be made tired here as well
as elsewhere. Give us relief or desist.

Summit Prairie has become our Bridge
Creek summer resort, and so far this
summer fishing has been excellent.
Mr. Sam Brandon returned from there
with a three-gallon bucket packed full,
besides having all be and his crowd
could eat tnc few days they were out.
Exit another life to realms unknown,
of which many bright und beautiful
promises are given. July 20th, after a
lingering illness of months and a close
confinement of three weeks, Mr. Mar
tin Gray, father of Mrs. K. K. Allen, de
parted this life. Mr. Gray has been a
resident of this place at different times
for twenty-two years. Some years since
he moved his family into Montana,
since which time He ha been a resident
of Roseman. Last fall he came to make
bis daughter a visit. Soon after he be
came ill, but not serious enough to
cause any particular anxiety. He lin
gered until three weeks since, when he
lay down to rife no more. Two years t
ago he had a serious attack of grippe,
from w hich he had never entirely re
covered, growing better and worse at
intervals, until a faithful servant is
called home. Once more we mips an
aged father and a kind grandfather; but
we do not grieve, for his hufferings are
done. Good bye fur n time, for there
are no good byes in heaven. Mr. Gray
was sixty-nine years of age, and was
very strong until the attack of la grippe.
One more accident to relate, and then
I will let you rent until another time.
Mrs. Campliell of this place, Dr. Hun
lock and his best girl were on their way
to the Summit, when a mulish hone
was trying to break his neck lu attempt
ing to go the other way and pull the
wagon to which he was tied with him.
The doctor thought he might persuade
the perverse animal to gently submit.
And so he did, with such an impetus as
to knock the doctor, heels up, down a.
bank and over a woodpile unceremoni
ously, landing him on the most promi
nent part of his face, and as a conse
quencw he arose with a very badly peeled
and bloody nose. All this time hie girl
was calmly taking in the doctor's ill
fated situation. Did she laugh? I
would had it been me.
