weekly crop bulletin.
According to the report of the assessor,
Portland has a population of 75,000 in
stead of 96,000 as claimed.
Enough Hood River people were in
town today to make one almost think
oar neighbor had moved up here.
The weather today has been a regular
bud starter. It has been beautifully
warm and still, a perfect spring day,
New clothes were procured for Mona-
han today, and he will be discharged
from Quarantine this afternoon. Thus
endeth the celebrated smallpox scare,
- Wool is quoted at from 8 to 9 cents
. per pound, though but one small lot has
come in. No outside buyers are on
hand, and the price cannot be said to be
fixed. Cattle hides are selling at
cents and 6heep pelts at o cents per
pound.
Word was received here yesterday
afternoon of the death of Thomas Ger
rity, a former resident of this place, be
ing employed for a number of years in
the painters' department of the O. R. &
N. shops. He died at Albina yesterday
afternoon.
Sheriff Driver arrested a hobo this
morning, thinking he was a man wanted
for robbery in California. He answered
the description all right except as to age.
and the sheriff, convinced he was not
the man he wanted, turned him over to
the city marshal. He had been begging
on the Btreets.
Two weekB from today the salmon
fishing season begins. The river is still
low, but the wheels are so arranged that
- if the salmon run, some of the wheels
will get their work in. The Winans
Bros, will have two of their wheels ready
to run by the 10th, and the third will be
in running order soon after that time.
The Seufert Bros, have all their wheels
in good condition, and if the run comes
vail the canneries will be kept working
V up to their fullest capacity.
1 We notice an article in the Antelope
' Herald to the effect that Mr. Halloway
had purchased a large number of sheep
and cattle in that neighborhood. Stock
men are fortunate this year in having a
number of Eastern buyers such as Mr.
Halloway, Mr. Bastine and others, who
bring their money with them, and pay
. prices that are well up to the limits that
the expenses of shipping wpl permit.
' In a multitude of buyers is the stock -mens'
salvation, and this year they are
getting all their stock is worth. ;
Ten bear skins were brought over
from Camas Prairie yesterday and sold
here. It is not generally known, even
by our own people, that a large trade in
furs is carried on-here. The principal
source of supply is tbe Camas Prairie
and Mt. Adams sections of Washington.
though the mountains south of us yield
quite an assortment. Bear skins just
now are quite the fashion, and command
prices varying with their condition, and
running from nothing to as high as $20
for extra quality, size and color. Coyote
Bkins bring 50 cents each ; wildcat, 40 :
fisher, $5 to $6 ; otter, $6 ; beaver, $1.50
per pound : mink, 75 cents each.
In the Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co.'s
window is a small painting that will re
pay more than a passing glance. The
- subject is an old man, a genuine disciple
of the great Isaak Walton, all prepared
for a day's sport on his favorite stream.
His good rod lies across his lap, his
creel hangs from his shoulder, while the
necks of a couple of bottles of snake
remedy, always necessaty on such occa
- sions, peep from a basket. The face ex
presses pleasure, satisfaction and pa
tience, while the position conveys the
impression that the old gentleman is
confident thai he is well prepared to en
joy a good day's sport, and knows the
companions tor whom he waits will be
on time. The painting is the work of
' Mrs. Inez Filloon. .

There are quite a number of running
horses in training at the race tracks for
the meeting at Portland in June, and
for the other events of the circuit. Mr.
Chas. Fortune's stable contains the fol

horse, Deschutes, and bay horse, Jim
Crow. Andy Allen has the bay horse,
Nehalem, two-year-olds by Frank Hast'

A bay team belonging to the Winans
Bros, and engaged in hauling a wagon
loaded with lumber, took it into their
heads this morning to take a run. They
started from some place in the East End
and came down Second street as though
Jehu himself was urging them. Just in
front of Mays & Crowe's something de
flected them from their course and un
like the populists, they left the middle of
the road. The lumber had, most of it,
been disposed of regardless of cost, on
the way down, and the outfit was run-
running in ballast. . When their course
was changed they were unable to make
the circle and turn up Federal street, so
they compromised by running into the
dead wall of the Max Vogt building, and
coming to a full stop. The damage was
light.

From Mr. Richard Gaunt, proprietor
of the Prineville stage line we learn of a
horrible affair at Prineville, Mr. Gaunt
getting his imformatioh from the stage
driver. Tuesday night a drunken man
was arrested and put in the city jail.
Wednesday morning ' at an early hour,
the jail was discovered to be on fire, but
when the discovery was made the fire
had made such progress that the build
ing could not be approached. It is pre
sumed that the prisoner in some manner
set fire to, the building, which proved to
be his funeral pyre,
The season for drive whist parties has
about ended, and the different clubs are
having their farewell meetings. To
night the Union Whist Club will close
this year's meetings with a banquet,
and adjourn until next fall. Last night
the Entre Nous club was entertained at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Crowe,
and while many very enjoyable evenings
have been spent at ttfeir parties in the
hall, the best was reserved till the last.
With" such pleasant surroundings, an
ideal host and hostess, a tempting lunch
and music when the games were finished,
the pleasure was complete, and one
could readily tell that the many, thanks
for the pleasant evening spent, as the
guests departed, were not merely con
ventional, but heartfelt.

Last Xltat's Play.
"Nevada, or The Lost Mine' drew one
ot the largest audiences ever gathered in
Tbe Dalles. The house was well filled,
and had it not been that the grippe has
dozens of victims in the city that kept
other dozens from attending, - there
would not have been standing room.
The Dalles is justly proud of its local
dramatic club, and never fails to show
Its appreciation of its home talent. The
stage was well fitted up and the play,
which is interesting from first to last,
ran smoothly throughout. It is difficult
to comment upon the individual char
acters, for we feel that did we' say all
tbe words of praise the acting deserved,
that we would be charged with dealing
in flattery, yet we cannot forego a brief
review of the characters.
Tbe play hinges upon "Nevada," an
old miner, who, after discovering a rich
gold mine, is struck on tbe head by a
rock falling from tbe roof of the tunnel,
and although be gets back to camp, be
is mentally deranged, and cannot again
find his mine. On this foundation
is built the balance of the story.
"Nevada's" wife came from the East to
seek him, but reaching the cabin of
"Vermont," an old miner, dies, leaving
.with him her little girl, who grows np
tbe pride of the camp, is sent off to
school by "Vermont," returns, bringing
her teacher, "Miss Agnes Fairlee," with
her. "Moselle," the waif, falls in love
with "Dandy Dick," a young miner, who
left home under a cloud, and ' "Agnes
Fairlee" goes "gone" on "Tom Carew."
Silas Steele," a missionary of health,'
traveling for "Busted's Balm," turns
out to bo a son of "Vermont," and with
Jubej." a negro, and "Win Kye,"
Chinaman, assists in uncovering the
villainies of "Jerden," the detective,
who is the heavy villain of the play,
These with "Mother Merton," who was
a mother to "Moselle," complete tbe
cast of characters.
The part of "Nevada" was taken by
Mr. Harry Lonsdale and taken well
though it was the most difficult part of
the play. Mr. Nolan as "Vermont'
showed a thorough understanding of the
character, and looked and acted the old-
time miner to perfection. "Tom
Carew" was another difficult part that
was well taken by Mr. JN. Binnott, ana
"Dandv Dick," by K. binnott, was
equally well played. "Silas Steele" was
the easiest part of tbe whole play, that
is, it was easiest to Johnny Hampshire,
to whom all parts are easy. Mr. Fred
Wilson had the thankless part of the
play, that of tbe black-bearded villain,
and as nine-tenths of the audience felt
like getting up on stage and kicking
him, it is fair to presume that he aoted
his part well enough. - Mr. Hartnett, the
negro miner, and Charley Heppner as
Win Kye," the ubiquitous Chinaman,
were always around at the right time to
discover just the things necessary to the
unfolding of the plot. The latter gave a
Chinese song that was heartily encored
We have forborne ' mentioning the
ladies who took part in the play until
last, because the best of a feast, literary
or otherwise, comes in the dessert"
Mrs. G. C. Blakeley as "Mother Mer
ton," had but little to do, but that little
was done thoroughly. Miss Rose Michell
made a charming little "Moselle," and
won a warm spot in the hearts of the
audience at once, which she held to the
last; and Miss Myrtle Michell took the
part of "Agnes Fairlee" in fine shape.
The play was a success in every way,
yielding, besides the two hours' pleas
ure, the sum of $172.75 gross. The
worst part of the play was, that while
the larger portion of the audience was
present at 8 o'clock, at which time the
curtain was supposed to -raise, there
were others who came straggling in un
til 8:40
The music was furnished by the Or
chestral Union, and that leaves nothing
more to be said on that score, except
that each number brought forth hearty
applause. .
The second scene, representing the
interior of a log cabin, was tbe handi
work of the artist, Mr. Home, and it was
a realistic bit of work, too.
Up to Cloud Cap.
A party consisting of M. A. Moody of
this city, Lieutenant Taylor of the Cas
cade Locks, A. M. Balf rey of Lyle, and
W. ALangelIe of Hood river, went up
to Cloud Cap Inn Saturday. That is
they started Saturday and went as far as
the elk-beds, which point is about seven
miles from tbe Inn. At this point the
snow was about three feet deep, mostly
new snow. Leaving the elk-beds early
in the morning on snowshoes the party
struggled all day through the soft snow
which was at least five feet deep at the
Inn, reaching that place In twelve hours.
Returning the party reached Hood
River at midnight Monday. Mr. Lan
gille who has been in charge of, or lo
cated at the Inn since it was first built
pronounces the trip the hardest one he
ever made over tbe route.
An Awful Accident.
A $300 span of horses belonging to Mr.
C. B. Durbin, met death last Tuesday in
a very singular manner. Charley and
George Dodd were up on the. plateau,
about two miles southwest of the
Meadow Lawn farm, cutting down jnni
Pr trees, hauling them to the edge of
tue steep bank and dumping them over,
that the wood could be procured from
the canyon beneath. In hauling a large
tree up to the dumping place, the team
ALL GOODS MARKED IN
PLAIN FIGURES. ,
got a little too close to the edge, and
over went horses, tree and all, over a
precipice nearly 300 feet in beigbth.
When the tree started to roll, the horses
struggled frantically to free themselves
from the death trap, but it availed
nothing. When they came to the edge
of the steep precipice they both reared
high in the air, and fell over backwards,
falling about 150 feet before striking the
bowlders beneath, and then rolled about
150 feet farther, into the canyon. The
scene was an awful one to the two men
who witnessed it, and when they reached
tbe canyon they found the poor brutes
almost smashed, and hardly an un
broken bone in their bodies. It w as Mr,
Durbin's best team, and he would not
have taken $300 in cash for it. Antelope
Herald.
A Klae In Mutton.
The best news we have heard for
long time is this: Last week a
Louis mutton buyer, whose name no one
seems to have learned, bought 1400 head
of sheep from Alvey Wilcox, paying
$2.60 per head for the ewes and $2.40 for
the lambs, with tbe wool on. He also
bought 1600 head from Kohler & Karlen
at $2.75 for ewes, $2.95 for wethers and
$2.40 for lambs. John Grant also sold
his entire band, 2000, at $3.15 per head
He likewise bought a large band of cattle
from parties on the river, paying 3 cents
per pound all around. This is the high
est price paid since the democratic party
took hold ot the governmental reins,
two years ago, and we sincerely hope the
same will keep on the upward incline.

A SUFFERING CHILD
Head and Scalp Raw with

Eruptions. Applied CUTICURA.
Change in Twenty-four Hour.
Perfect Cure In Two .Vpcks.
My little son, agod three, was v- -ncti
troubled with a brooking out on I..' -nip
and behind his ear. The places acu . .vara
about as large aa a silver dollar; the Mesh
seemed raw and covered with little blisters.
The child suffered considerably, and was nat
urally very fretful. I tried several remedies
without obtaining any beneficial results; ha
fact tbe eruptions seemed to be spreading;
and new places breaking out. 1 concluded to
try the CtmocBA Remedies. I washed the
affected parts with the Cuticura Soap, tak
ing care not to irritate tho flesh, and applied
CcncuoA. I noticed a chanpo for the better
in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty
four hours, and in two weeks the eruptions
entirely disappeared, leaving; the skin smooth
and the scalp clean ; in fact a perfect cure,
as I have not seen any Indications of any
eruption or breaking out since. I gave the)
child only a few doses of the Con cuba Kb
olvxst. I consider your Cdtiouba, Rbmb
dies very valuable. I believe Cutiuuma,
would be excellent for applying; to insect bites.
