out a case. As there is plenty of beer
the result must have been caused by
scarcity of money.

We have been asked whether we
meaut whut we suid the other day, that
4"i pounds of wheat could be bought in
the Caucasus for a rent and three-quarters.
That it exactly what we ,neant to
say; in other (words, that a bushel of
wheat could be Knight for about two
cents and a half. That is not strange,
however, for it can be liought in the
stack, last year's grain, aronnd the fa
louse, for six cents a bushel.

J. A. Weed, bridge superintendent,
returned from Alto this morning at 3 :30
after a night of hard work preparing for
the building of the bridge destroyed
Sunday, says the 1'endleton E. O. of
Tuesday. Upon inspecting it be found
it would be necessary to construct a new
one from the ground np. There hap
pened to be on band some materials
which could be used to advantage and
these were hurried Monday evening to
the scene of labor. Bridge No. S21 was
96 feet bigh, 800 feet long and what
bridge men call three-decker. Over a
hundred men will be employed in the
work of rebuilding, and they will utilize
about one million feet of lumber.

degrees. outh .,, ra.t of ,e ,51ue
mountains the average waa TO degree.
A heavr shower occurred in linker
Headers made rapid progress. The
weather was excellent for advancing the
harvest. The weather waa the warmest
for the season, but was not attended by
damaging hot w inds. All grains ripening
so that the oat crop is in a proper state
for the harvester. Some late sown
grain iossilly suffered injury by the
warm spell, but the damage is found
only in spots. There is an excellent
outlook for large yields of all kinds of
grain. The aphis scare Is passed. When
grain is found to be shriveled some
attribute it to the grain ah pis and other
to the warm weather. Corn hat a very
good color and will make a good crop.
Apples and plants are plentiful. Wild
and cultivated blackberries are in the
markets. Gardent suffered much from
the warm weather, but the potato crop
still will be very good.
Our North Powder, Union county,
correspondent writea that all kinds of
grain are doing well, but ripening too
rapidly to make a plump berry. Crops
are suffering in eectiont of Union and
Malheur counties for want of moisture.
Gut correspondent at Vale writes that
farmers are securing the second crop of
alfalfa, and that there is a plenty of
water in the streams for irrigation pur
poses. All kinds of stock are doing well.
Harvesting is well advanced and barley
is ready to cut. There is a good pros-
l pect for fair price? for hay.

He Wnt In Krnrtt.
Sunday afternoon Mr. KigK and
F'.rnest Drews went boat riding on the
broad bosom of the turbulent Columbia.
Now, Ernest is given to deep spells of
introspection, self communion and sicb,
in which he becomes so wrapped up in
himself that he is dead to all outside
matters. Such was hit condition San
day as the little boat leaped over the
white cads, and Krnest induleed in deen
tbonKbt concerning electrical matters,
and particularly to the use of electricity
as a depilatory, being led thereto by the
fact that the wind was blow ing with un
becoming freedom through the eilky
tangle of bis first crop of whiskers, and
therefore heeded not the warning to
watch out for the boom. The boat
tackej, and the boom came around
Rtriking Ernest in the shoulders and
knocking him out from tinder bis bat
and into the Columbia. He could not
' swim a stroke, but fortunately was
thrown so far ahead that be had gone
considerable discussion, and opinion t a
divided as to the course open to than
bouses. All these tangles, howeverli,
would all unravel at once if the wingul
of the democratic party a?ain flapped in
barmoDV and an agreement wer
reached by the conferees. If this biis
found impossible, it is contended b; a
some that the house would concur in thil
senate amendments and paes the bill at.
once, whether the particular copy of thee
bill on which the conferees are at worlit
is on the clerk's det k or in the confend
enoe room. It is also claimed that thoe
matter pernnrVWr --jtjvc 'jra -rtniu-as
Ernest's whiskers, instead of an obituary
notice.
Tl, Indians Will K Hityyy.
Judge Bellinger yesterday morning
rendered an important decision in the
cases of Thomas Hawks and Edward
Kline, charged with selling liquor to
Indians. It was not shown that the
Indians to whom the liquor wat sold
were wards of a United States Indian
agent, and the court presumed, in the
absence of proof to the contrary, that
tbey were beneficiariet under the allot
ment of land in severalty to the Indians
of the Umatilla agency in 18S7.
He decided that the allotment of landt
in severalty to Indians bad the effect
of removing them from under the charge
of Indian agents, and gave them the
standing of American citizens. As such
the United States lawt governing In
dian wardt of the government do not
apply to them, and the selling of liquor
to an Indian who is not in charge of a
United States Indian agent ia not pun
ishable under the United States stat
utes. The decision has, as a precedent,
the opinion of Judge 1 1 an ford delivered
in an Indian case of another character
in 1892, but it it the first decision to
this effect in a case directly in
point. It will havo the effect of very
materially lessening the number of prot
ecutiont in tbe United Statet court of
the offense of selling liquor to Indians,
and after it is thoroughly understood by
the Indians there should be no difficulty
in getting them to accept allotments of
hinds in severalty. Telegram.

Floyd Herman owns a bear, a black
inquisitive cub, which be keeps at the
Umatilla House, partly for bis own
amusement, and partly because be does.
Last night be had placed the Ursa
Minor In the court, or midway plaisance,
in the renter of the building, expecting
the measly thing just to bear bit im
prisonment until morning. Hut be
wasn't that kind of a bear. About
j o'clock bruiu over bit trouble made
I himself mad, and be detartnined to let
j folkt know he waa around. He climbed
through a window and entered the din
! ing room, and being out of one pickle he
i immediately got into another, in the
plural number. He managed to open a
cupboard wherein the caretul steward
keeps stored the chow-chow, piccalilli,
olives, etc. No sooner was this wealth
of acidity and mustard before him than
be proceeded to juggle with them, try
ing to keep two in the air at once, and
at every time be caught one he dropped
two and stepped on the pieces, the work
of demolition went bravely on. Olivet
and cucumbers, small onions and cauli
flower, mustard, vinegar and broken
glass, w ith here and there a splash of
catsup to give color to the scene of car
nage, spread over the floor, while in the
midst of it the joyous cub danced the
serpentine.
It was a scene of devastation he left
when be mi surrounded and dragged
away. And now Floyd wonder bow
two-bits worth of bear could do $20
worth of damage in to brief a time.

"It was just tuch a day at this," said
a friend of oars while sitting in the
office of the Umatilla House at noon to
day, "just such a day at this thirty-two
years ago when a young friend of mine
was drafted into the service. He was a
bright young fellow, the only stsy and
support of a widowed mother, and while
he was patriotic enough to have en
listed had circumstances been different,
he felt, as did bit mother, that he could
illy be spared from borne. His mother
came to me, knowing I had some influ
ence in the war department, and asked
me to intercede for bim. I had but lit
tle confidence in rov ability to aid her,
but moved by her tears, I wrote Secre
tary Stan'on. It wns without avail.
In a few days be was sent down to Mid
dleburg, N. Y to be mustered in. His
name was SLafer. Two days later I re
ceived a dispatch from the secretary
saying: 'A horse kicked J. S. Shafer
in the Freemyre bouse. If that's your
man, take bim.' "
A Valnaliln Bear.
The Union Scout says : "For several
years past the stockmen of Snake river
have been terrorized by an immense
bear that roamed the bills and mount
ains of that section. The loss from
stock killeJ by this beast will amount to
several hundred, if not thousand, dol
lars. He would kill and devour a large
cow or steer with perfect ease. Several
attempts were made by old hunters and
others to kill the ferocious beast, but it
seemed that it was almost impossible to
get sight of him. He was such a terror
to the Ftoc-kinen that a reward of $100
was offered for bis carcass. Many old
-hunters were afraid to attack him. He
ba-t leen shot at several times without
effect. Word reached here a few days
ago, however, that a man in that vicin
ity bad succeeded in trapping and kill
ing the animal. The captor received
the $100 reward, beeides $S0 for the hide
and $2.50 each for the ciaws."

The express man does not live in this
oHice. V'e don't know where he is; we
don't care. He don't lelong to us ; is
no relation. Doesn't tell us when he is
Kointf awav, nor mention when be it
i coining back. We have no key to his
shop; don't understand bis business.
We don't know bow long it takes him
to eat, nor what be has for dinner, nor
bow soon be is coining back, nor
whether be baa gone to deliver a sermon
or a package, or any other little thing.
We do know that Le goes away on busi
ness, and that apparently everybody
waits until that time to ask us among
other things the questions that the
above answers fit. We know that be it
in the onice all day and part of the
night, except when out on business of
the company's. We also know that Mr.
Hill would have proven a much more
satisfactory agent if be had been born
twins, so that be could chase himself
around and be in two places at once.
Killed by the Vara.
The east-bound passenger, at it pulled
out about midnight last night, ran over
a man, about a hundred yards the other
side of the company'! ice houe. The
engineer saw bim lying on the track,
reversed his engine and applied the air
brakes, but was not able to stop the
train until the wheels of the engine had
passed over the victim's head. From
appearances the man had been drinking
and lay down on the track to sleep.
The wheels struck him on top of the
head, mashing the left side of it to a
pulp. As the body, with the exception
of the toes of one foot, was not touched,
we judge the man was lying by the
track using the rail for a pillow.
Some of the railroad boys recognir.e
the body as that of a man employed as
a cook on the tection, but know no other
name for bim than "Dutchy." The re
trains were taken to Mr. Michell's un
dertaking rooms, where an inquest will
be held on them tomorrow, when the
engineer and firemen who were on the
engine that ran over him will return.

The last session of the Gregon legisla
ture enacted a tresspass law. the provi
sions of which are not generally known,
and sportemen may profit by reading
the same over carefully. We publish
the law by request in full :
Suction 1. It shall be unlawful for
any peron other than an officer on law
ful business, being armed w ith a gun,
pistol, or other fire-arm, to go or tres
pass npon any enclosed premises or
land9 without the consent of the owner
or possesser thereof.
Skc. 2. It shall be unlawful for auy
person to ahoot npon or from the public
highways.
Sec. 3. It shall be unlawful for uny
person, being armed with a gun or other
firearm, to cause, permit or suffer eny
dog, accompanying such person, to go or j
enter upon any enclosed premises with
out the consent of the owner or possessor
thereof ; provided, that this section shall
not apply to dogs in pursuit of deer or
varmints.
Sec. 4. Any person violating the pro
visions of this act shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con
viction thereof shall be punished by a

two dollars of said fine.
Site. 5. Justices of the peace for the
proper county shall have jurisdiction of
the trial of offenses herein defined.
The Halmon ratrh.
This is the last day of the salmon
fishing season. Although it was so dis
astrous in the beginning, the season has
been better than last year, the catches
being about 385,000 cases last year as
against 420,000 this. On the lower
river the unprecedented floods made the
season short, and also decreased the
catch by carrying away a number of
traps and filling seining grounds with
drift; yet the phenomenal run sufficed
to overcome this. The lost of three
foutbs of the wheels here was a serious
one, though the stage of water would
have prevented their being used the
greater part of the season. However'
the .cannery was kept running to its
fullest capacity, and the catch would
have been larger if it could have been
bandied. Many of the wheels will be
replaced a soon as the stage of water
will permit, and the fall ran will add
conciderable to the total catch.
fatal "-hooting r Pmrj.
Jasper A. Mills, brother of Mrs
Theodore Cartwrigbt of this) city, was
killed near hit home, twelve miles from
Pomeroy, Garfield county, Washington,
August 1st. He and a neighbor had
been having trouble over water for an
irrigating ditch, which was taken from a
creek on Kates laud, and on the day in
question, be bad gone to tarn the water
into the ditch notwithstanding the com
mand of Estet that he refrain from
touching it. Botli men were armed and
in the qnnrrel ensuing began to shoot at
the tame time. Mills was shot through
the heart and killed instantly. The
meeting was accidental, and the fact
that both were armed, caueed the death
of Mills and the imprisonment of Fetes.
All a pistol is good for any way Is to get

reporter got hold of the list of questions
used in the examination Wednesday and
they appeared in that paper yesterdoy.
In consequence Superintendent Shelley
was compelled to change the questions
in arithmetic and some other branches,
lest the guilelesa young ladies, who are
supposed to answer them, should take
advantage of the information, and work
theirexamplesatbome. We iudeefrom
