arrangements for putting up a cannery
thereon. The building will be fifty by
100 feet. It is expected that work will
be begun on tbe building next week.
We are pleased indeed to note this im
provement, for it is one that is and has
(or sometime been badly needed. Had
it been here during the season Just past
a thousand tons of salmon would have
found a market that for lack of it was
allowed to pass unmolested. We hope
this is but the starter for other indus
tries of a like nature.
At this time of the year the recording
angel always has a convenient tear hang
ing on his eyelid for the benefit of the
head of the family who is engsged in
putting up the stovepipes that have
been in the cellar all summer. It is un
deniable that stovepipes grew, or at
least some of the joints do, and those
joints that fit last spring when taken
apart, are each just a trifle larger than
the other, now that they are to go to
gether again.
The Createet Fact of Madera Hlatery.
Dr. F. Ilelurlrh Geffcken, In the October Forum.
The British Knipire is a political crea
tion unparalled in the world's history,
not only by its extent and population,
in both which respects it is slightly sur
passed by China, but because, with an
area of more than 10,000,000 square
miles and with 352,000,000 inhabitants,
it Is scattered over the whole globe. It
embraces all xones from the icy wilder
ness of Hudson Bay to the tropical jun
gles of India and mahogany forests of
Honduras ; there is scarcely a product
which a British province does not bring
forth in excellent quality ; and not le9S
various are the degrees of civilization
of its inhabitants, from the Kaffirs
of the Cape to tbe highly culti
vated citizens of Toronto or Sydney.
We find, with Christians of all confes
sions, 200,000,000 Hindus, about 70,000,
000 Mohammedans, and 8,000,000 Bud
dhists ; and the Bible is printed in 130
languages and dialects represented in
the Empire, yet, notwithstanding such
promiscuous elements, the government,
with rare exceptions, maintains order,
and no sign of dissolution is visible.
Quiet AbimbmI.
A gentlemanly little fight occurred on
tbe sidewalk in front of Maetx & Pundt's
last night. One of the parties knocked
the other down, be falling in a chair
which upset, and then the knocked
down party kept on falling, breaking the
rounds out from between the chair's legs,
and inserting bis body tightly therein.
Whereupon tbe other party fell on biin
and pounded him until be got tired and
quit. Neither party said a word while
tbe fight was going on or afterwards, for
when it was through, the victorious
party walked away while tbe other got
up and washed the blood off himself
without making any explanations.
With View to Farchae.
Speaking of the two Montana men
who have been looking up tbe O. P., the
Corvallis Times says: Tbev came to
this city and in company with Receiver
Clark made an examination of the west
ern portion of tbe road. They declined
to give any information concerning their
plans, or what they thought of the prop
erty ; but made no secret of the fact that
they were looking over tbe road with a
view to its purchase. It was also learned
from them that a representative of their
combination went over the road about
two months ago.
We Can Take Car of Them.
The drouth in Nebraska and the
Dakotas is causing quite an emigration,
and hundreds of families are seeking Ore
gon as a future home. They are mak
ing no mistake, for crops never fall in
Oregon, nor do cyclones devastate it.
Wasco county should do something tow
ards advertising her resources and catch
ing some of the new comers. With
the area that can be devoted to fruit
raising, Wasco county can support 100,
000 more people and then have room for
more.
It Woa't Work.
Mr. F. A. Young w rites us to the effect
that be does not believe the story
printed in Tui Cukoniclc tbe other day
concerning the poisoning of foxes, and
then of birds from eating tbe carcasses.
He says that he has poisoned coyotes for
years, and the cats and birds eat the re
mains of the deceased wolflets with im
punity. We agree with Mr. Young for
we do not believe the story either, for
one reason because we did not invent it.
We adopted, and adapted it, from a
letter in tbe Oregonian.
IaaaalgTaota Arrive.
Friday evening's train brought a car
load of home-seekers from South Dakota
and Iowa. Tbe car was brought to the
city over the Union Ry. There were
about thirty-five people in the car.
They have been shown about thecountry
and so far as we are able to learn, are
well pleased and no doubt many of them
will locate here. Union Republican.

"What ought to be done with parties
who have been married and who say
they have been divorced, and who are
both stayirg in his bouse on his ranch?"
The above "queery," somewhat mis
spelled and written on a postal curd,
reached ns yesterday. The communica
tion was unsigned, but as it dealt only
w ith an abstract and interesting ques
tion we save it from the waste basket.
We admit frankly that we do not know
how to answer the question, for one
reason because it is too indefinuu. The
questioner des not say, for instance,
whether the parties bad been man and
man and w ife, or not He does not state
the sex of the parties, so that we have
no means of knowing whether they are
loth grass widows, grass w idowers, or a
grass widow and a grass widower. We
do not know the premises hence can
reach no definite and satisfactory con
clusion. Presuming however that the
parties were formerly man and wife, and
are now divorced from each other, we
would say that the situation is peculiar;
but outside of the fact that the theory is
demonstrated that people get along
better when not tied to each other, than
when they are, we see no reason why
the same roof should not cover them.
As each of them has proved "rank
pizen" to the other, they can be let
alone with as much propriety as if they
had never been married at all. We
know two brothers back in Illinois, one
of whom was named James and the
other John. James got rich by attend
ing strictly to bis own business, and
John accumulated a fortune by letting
other peoples' business alone. There is
a moral to this story that is not difficult
to find.
r aatern Oregoa Weather aad Crepe.
Tbe temperature averaged each day
five degrees warmer than the normal
and there was almost a total absence of
precipitatio.''. The sunshine was more
than tbe average.
The grain crop has been threshed,
with a few exceptions. The condition of
the grain is excellent owing to tbe favor
able weather. Average yields are gen
erally reported. The gTain is rapidly
being hauled to the railroads, though
the prices are very low. Notwithstand
ing the low price of wheat preparations
are being made for seeding a large crop
for next year. There is a fair yield of
potatoes, more than an average in some
sections of Wasco county. There is a
large crop of apples and a light one of
peaches. Fruit, as a rule, bas ripened
slowly. Stock is in fine condition.
This has been a successful crop year as
to yields and all crops have been secured
in the best condition.
The season of frosts has arrived. In
some sections frosts have injured tender
vegetation, but crops generally are be
yond the reach of frosts. Some thresh
ing is still to be done in remote sections.
The grain has yielded well. The or
chards that escaped the June frosts have
produced large quantities of fruit of ex
cellent quality. Farmers are digging
potatoes and preparing for winter
quarters. B. S. Paoue,
Ixcal Forecast Official in Charge.
The Keiualua of Colgate Foaud.
A Missoula, Montana, dispatch of
Tuesday states that the Missoulian pub
lishes the particulars of the recovery and
burial of the remains of George Colgate,
the deserted cook of tht notorious hunt
ing party headed by Win. E. Carlin, eon
of General Carlin, late commander of
the Department of the Columbia. The
discover was made AuguBt 23, by Lieut
enant Elliott, eight miles below tbe spot
where the desertion occurred on the
Clearwater river. All that remained of
Colgate's body was the thigh bone and
one leg. These were mangled and
gnawed by wild beasts. At the same
spot also was found a match box, fishing
lines aud other articles identified as Col
gate's property. Lieutenant Elliott was
sent out on bis mission by General Otis,
present commander of the Columbia, to
which office he makes full report, there
being many points tending to prove Col
gate's desertion by the Carlin party was
cowardly.
Moving- a Towa.
The town of Gold Beach, in Curry
county, is being moved across the river.
A large bar formed in front of the town
aud boats were unable to get anywhere
near the tjwn, hence the necessity of
moving the town to the boats. In re
gard to the matter the Gazette of that
place says : "This week will see all the
buildings to be moved safely across the
river. The FMson house, adjoining the
Gazette office, went Tuesday night, the
small building adjoining the hotel,
known as the old printing office, went
over Wednesday night, and the hotel
is now being loaded on the scows. It
will take some time yet to place tbe
buildings permanently in their new
locations, but already the other side of
the river shows up as a town, the whole
water front and building showing plain
ly from this side."
Hoye' aad Glrle' Aid Society.
Superintendent Gardner, of the Boys'
aud Girls' Aid Society, who was in the
city yesterday, gives us some informa
tion concerning those whom the society
took in charge from this place. He
brought with him from Portland two
girls aged about 11 years, for whom he

burn and another of 15 years who is to
stay with Mrs. N. Harris. The Gibson
girl, who was taken from here, is adopted
into a I'ortland family and is doing
nicely. The Graham children are well
provided for one having a home with a
wealthy farmer near Vancouver, Wash.,
and the other with a farmer in Yamhill
county. Dollie Howard, wbo is now a
young lady of 15, bas a good home with
a family at Ilwaco and is doing well.
The two Dunn boys are also well pro
vided for, one of them being with a
farmer in Yamhill, who is raising him
as bis own child, and the other bas
good home. Mr. Gardner incidentally
told us that the Negro boy sent from
this place to the Reform school is era
ployed as waiter at the officers' table,
and is proud of his job and contented.
The good work the society is doing, can
best be appreciated by noting what has
been accomplished locally and judged by
this rule, the society is deserving of the
highest praise, and substantial encour
agement. Senator Dolph Speaka.
The courthouse was filled last evening
in spite of the inclement weather, with
an intelligent, audience, bent upon
hearing what Senator Dolph might have
to say. The band met the senator at the
Umatilla House at 8 o'clock, and after
playing a piece or two, preceded him to
tbe courthouse.
At 8:1) Hon. John Michel!, in a few
well -chosen words, introduced the sena
tor, who, saying that he did not intend
to make a political speech, or to deal in
politics, but rather with local questions,
preceded to give a resume of the work
that bad been accomplished by the Ore
gon delegation for Oregon. This con
sisted in the opening of the Indian res
ervations, and in this connection he
expressed the opinion that it would be
but a short time until the Warm Springs
reservation would be opened for settle
ment; the securing of appropriations
for the work at the mouth of the river,
which work will be completed aext
year; and the appropriations for com
pleting the work at tbe cascades. Tbe
senator gave a description of the man
ner in which these appropriations were
secured, showing that it required per
sistent work. to acomplieh anything.
The senator also asserted that Oregon
bad received more money for river and
harbor improvements in the last few
years than any state in tbe union. He
closed his talk by giving a history of the
boat-railway legislation and the obsta
cles that had been met and overcame.
The senator spoke for an hour and forty
minutes, and bis remarks were often
interrupted by hearty bursts of applause.
Tbe eenatoi left on the 11:10 passen
ger last night for Baker City, and will
visit Pendleton Octolier 2, being invited
to addrets the Press Association, which
meets there on that date.
The btellroad Cnimnlealonere.
The members of the state lioard of
railroad commissioners are very clever
gentlemen but for all practical purposes
that coiuuiiwion in a cold failure, and
should bo abolished. The following
from the Salem Journal carries a fair
idea of the usual duties performed by
them. We will add, however, that they
do as well perhaps as any other board
would do. The Journal says:
Railway ComuiisMioneis A. I. Maerum
J. B. Eddy and H. B. Compson, at
tended by Clerk Lydull Baker, and Capt
Jones, aide de camp of General Comp'
son, arrived in Salem Monday on a
sicial train, coin poxed of two Pullman
cars. One car was the private car of
Supt Fields, of the Southern Pacific,
who attended the commission with other
officials of the road.
The second car was a richly furnished
Pullman sleeper. Five colored porters
attended the function oo wheels. The

well-groomed and appear to be con
tented with their lot.
An Earthquake Shock at Qulnn'a.
Mr. Pat Cahill informs us that on last
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock be was
alarmed by the earth rising and sinking
at Quinn's station, which reminded him
of earthquakes in California. But what
frightened him most was the sudden
sinking of about 100 feet square of earth
to an indefinite depth, no bottom being
visible. The next morning the hole waa
filled with water. Pat says be waa
never frightened so in his life. We
have not heard of any earthquake shock
from any other quarter, and it is cer
tainly very remarkable. Pat describe
the motions of the earth with his arms
going up and down like a "teeter" in
quick motion. The hole is ou the river
bank close to his cabin, and we would
think from the manner of bis descrip
tion that it would have frightened the)
stoutest heart. Arlington Record.
It seems from this that Oregon is not
to be outdone by Kansas, for this must
have happened about the same time tbe
ground sunk in so many places in that
state, and from the accounts they oc
cur ed just as Mr. Cahill describes.
