The afternoon passenger was delayed by the slide at the Locks, hence the Oregonlan and Sun did not muke their regular post prandial appearance. When we tackled M. J.

There has been a rumor for a day or two that a sensational arrest will be made of parties connected with the ex press robbery. As there has been some thing more than a thousand similar rumors, we failed to bold the forms open after our usual time to scoop the news.

Up in Michigan, while a game of base ball was in , progress, the ball was knocked into the edge of the woods, and when the fielder went after it, he was much astonished to see a big woodchuck take the ball into it" bole.

Richard Cole, tbe 7-yeur-old eon of Albert Cole, 1523 Walnut street Helena, Mont., did not go to Sunday school the other afternoon. It was not his fault, for with the assistance of his mother, he was getting ready as fast as he could, when providence, or somebody, else, interfered, and all at once stopped Rich ard and his plans. The lad was bend ing over a trunk getting out a pair of shoes when a bolt of lightening struck him in tbe small of the back and ran downward. Richard set up a yell and his very much frightened mother ran in and picked him up. The first thing the lad did was to ask who it was "that shot him." The lad's trousers were a com plete wreck, havingjlieen torn to pieces at the place which was to have occupied the bench at Sunday school but, strange to say, he himself was not very much hurt.

A gentleman w ho has observed very carefully and in detail the working of the Pendleton wool scouring mill writes to the Portland Oregonian suggesting the eminent desirability of the establish ment of such an enterprise in Portland. The Oregonian has before pointed out the apparent good work and great eco nomic advantage of this enterprise ia Eastern Oregon. Theoretically it could not fail to be of great advantage to save the expense of freight on the waste of grease and dirt in wool, said to be some thing like 70 per cent of the raw product. Practically, says the Oregonian, it is gratifying to know that the operations of the Pendleton mill bear out the hopes entertained of it. The following computation is offered as taken from the facts: Take, for ex ample, tOOO pounds of wool in the grease, costing at the lowest rate $1.75 per 100 pounds, making $17.50. When scoured it gives 300 pounds, the freight on which at $2.50 per hundred, is $7.50, showing that the difference, $10, is paid to the railroad companies for transporting 700 pounds of grease and sand to the Eastern wool markets. There are said to be seven scouring companies in San Fran cises, in which fortunes have been made in scouring Oregon wool. It is also thought that if such a concern csuld be started in Portland it would eventually make a wool market here, and buyers from the East would be represented here instead of at the inland towns, giving all growers the benefit of a central market and the opportunity for all the benefits of the competition of an open market. The low price of wool and the general cloud which hangs over the wool indus try by reaeon of the opening of our mar kets to free wool froni cheap-labor coun tries, renders the scouring question a more vital one than ever. It looks as if we shall have to employ every resource to overcome the disadvantages of free competition. One of these resources, apparently, is eliminating the item of freight upon the waste in tbe raw wool. This, if it can be done, and the Pendle ton experiment would seem to have set tled that question, should make the en terprise one to commend itself to capital. Besides the direct saving on freight charges, the industry wonld mean the natural beuefitof the presence of the plant in the community, employing men, disbursing wages and affording a cash market for prompt realization to the grower. It would mean a great deal to Oregon if our raw wool, enormous as its product is in the aggregate, were to be made up into finished wares at home. Do Yon Know Them? Henry Newel Longfellow died just after being taken off the cars at James port, Mo., on March 25, 1S94. The deceased was a cousin of C. H. Longfellow of Jamesport, and was here on a visit about s years ago. He then said he had been living in California and Ore gon for the past 15 years and bad there married and had a son named Kennith, aud' a daughter named Mary, and that his wife was dead and the children living with his brother-in-law. Said deceased was about 55 to 57 years old; about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall; dark eyes; dark hair and beard, consid erably grey; was a doctor, also traveled repairing clocks and watches. He was a man of very peculiar habits, dressed plain and wore very coarse, htavy shoes; seldom if ever wrote to friends when away. It has been ascertained that at one time in imnois he was known by the name of Henry Newell or Dr. Newell. I have important information for the above named childien.

Crostield and Miss Belle McDonald. The wedding took place at the resi dence of Mr. Wm. Murray in "the or chard," well above the high water maik. The ceremony was at eight and a half o'clock, and was attended by the family We are Still In It, and You Know It We are ec-iling more goods than ever, for the simple reason that Our PRICES are RIGHT. We pay more for other dealer Consult Your Interests, and Trade with. JOLES, Telephone No. 20. and more intimate friends of the groom and bride. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Crosfield and daughter, Miss Emma Crosfield, of Portland, Mrs. D. McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Murray and Miss Mattie Murray, Mr. and Mrs. E. O. McCoy, Miss Ella and Master Paul McCoy, Mr. J. S. Amos. Tbe bride wore a dainty and becoming traveling dress and well sustained the accorded loveliness of brides. After the ceremony the party adjourned to the dining room, where they found two long tables loaded with all the delicacies of the season, the substantial features of which, however, were two splendid great roast turkeys and the bride's loaf. After ample justice to the repast tbe company returned to the parlor and whiled away the hours with music and tong and social merriment, until it was time for the west-bound. train. Mr. Crosfield is one of the most enter prising and agreeable of Grant young men. Mrs. Crosfield is very pleasantly remembered in Tbe Dalles, this being for some time her former residence, and her friende here join with her friends at Grant and elsewhere in hearty con gratulations on what promises 'to be a happy marriage. Numerous and beautiful presents in dicated tbe esteem in which the young couple are held by their friends, and the donors' generosity and good taste as well. Mr. and Mrs. Crosfield intend making Grant their home. A market for Votatoes. A prominent shipper, who has just returned to La Grande from a business trip through the inland states, says there is a great shortage in potatoes through out Nebraska and eastward. The Greeley colony in Colorado is sup plying large districts and will ship 8,000 carloads. They have a 35-cent rate, and potatoes sell at Greeley at 75 cents per hundred. Utah potatoes have 15 cents higher freight rate, and the potatoes sell on the ground at a propor tional rate less. The potato prospect will be better later on. and especially if the LTnion Pacific will reduce the pres ent freight rate of 75 cents per 100 to 00 cents, which tbe railroad officials have about consented to do. Mr. Stockland thinks that there is certain to be a fair price for potatoes, although it is proba ble that it will be necessary to wait a little while. All the Eastern producers who have a crop to dispose of are com pelled to sell at once, and their surplus will soon be out of the way. Albany Herald. ' Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mjde. Richard E.
