One carload of hogs was shipped from
the Saltmarshe yards to Troutdale tble
morning.
The crop prospects are reasonably
good, bat rain is needed. Unless it
comes the yield is not going to be as
large as bas been anticipated.
We are nnder obligations to Rev. E.
C. Alford for the very excellent reports
of the district conference and league
work furnished us daring the meetings
closing here tomorrow night.
Circuit court will probably bold only
until the middle of next week. There is
nothing now before the court except the
trial of two or three divorce suits, and
the examination into the question of a
few foreclosure suits, in which default
bas been entered.
At the grand lodge of Good Templars,
held in Portland this week, Miss Edith
Randall of this city was re-elected grand
organist. The. Juvenile Temple in this
city, of which Miss Randall is superin
tendent, is the banner Temple of tbe
state for this year.
Tne river this morning was at 37.5, a
fall of 1.3 since yesterday morning. At
this rate it will only be a few days until
tbe Jocks at tbe Cascades can be again
operated. Tbe weather bureau ibis
morning reports the rivers falling above,
and this in spite of exceedingly warm
weather. '
Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls alluding
to the charges that tbe United States
senate, or at;ieast Some of the senators,
were dealing in sugar stocks, bits the
venerable old "wheat-pit gamblers" a
jolt, by quoting from Thanotopsis. He
describes them . as "soothed and sus
tained by an unfaltering trust."
Hood River, to date, has shipped
something over 10,000 crates of berries.
Tbe crop, while promising to. be the
largest ever grown, suddenly collapsed.
The cool weather will, it is thought,
be beneficial to the late berries, and the
yield may and perhaps will exceed the
figures given at present.
Al Zeak, eawyer at Davenport's mill
at the head of the ditch, broke his leg
in a peculiar manner last Saturday. He
picked up a cant hook and stepped out
of tbe mill to help toll in a log. The
cant book slipped and Zeak fell back
wards, and in tbe fall bis left leg was
broken just aboye the ankle. Glacier.
A conservative estimate made by per
sons who are now engaged in buying
cattle and sheep in Oregon ia to the ef
fect that, during the present year, f 3,
000,000 will be expended for cattle, and
$1,000,000 for sheep. Every dollar of
this money will come into tbe state.
PEASE
Some of the Eastern buyers place a still
greater estimate on the business to be
transacted.
We acknowledge tbe receipt of an in
vitation to the closing exercises at St.
Joseph's school the evening of June
11th. This is one of the finest educa
tional institution in Oregon, and the
closing exercises are always interesting.
That the occasion, Friday of next week,
will be up to the usual standard and
show some unique features, can be de
pended upon.
Thomas Dillon, the well-known Con
don sheepman and capitalist, was

lington, where he bad spent the night.
He was carried to bis room, and Dr.
Geisendorfer was called and was soon at

paralyzed, bnt be bas tbe use ot tbe
other side as before. He was at no time
unconscious. Mr. Dillon was on bis way
to Tbe Dalles, where he bad some busi
ness to transact. Fossil Journal.
We note that there is quite a mining
excitement in tbe Canyon Creek district,
forty-five miles northeast of Vancouver,
and that there is considerable talk
about copper prospects. From 1872 to
1877 the writer spent considerable time
in that district, and is pretty well in
formed concerning its merits. If cop
per is all that is required, there is plenty
of it. On the trail leading from Canyon
creek back to tbe old Silver Star mine
on Libby creek are tone of copper float,
mostly red and gray oxides, carrying
twenty-four to thirty-five per cent
copper.

Tbe west wind got its work in today,
and the way real estate moved for a
while was a caution. There is a whole
lot of Wasco dirt that Sherman county
will have to pay taxes on unless tbe
wind changes.
Maier & Benton have a unique bicycle
advertisement in front of their store, it
being a bull bearing wheel, with pieces
of tin placed in the wheel propeller
fashion. Tbe least breath of wind sets
it spinning and it is seldom that it is
still.

The district Epworth League conven
tion closed its business sessions Satur
day nigbt, and yesterday tbe delegates
enjoyed the usual Sunday services here,
most of them returning to their homes
today. Yesterday morning Rev. Flesher
of Heppner occupied the pulpit, and in
tbe evening Rev. Hauk of Goldendale
preached.
. We wish to' remark that some time
somebody is going to be hurt at the boat
landing. As tbe boat swings round into
place, after getting a bow line out, there
is a heavy strain npon it. As a matter
of fact the line .generally holds, but
some time it is going to part, and people
who stand within range of tbe recoil are
going to get hurt.
The members of the fire department
will give a moonlight excursion Tuesday
tight, June 15th. At that time the
moon will be full, and the occasion will,
no doubt, be a delightful one. The pro
ceeds will go towards meeting the ex
penses of the tournament this fall, and
every patriotic Dallesite should buy a
ticket whether be goes or not.
An exchange says that a horse has
forty teeth, while a mare has bnt thirty
six. Oxen and sheep have but thirty
two, hogs forty-four, dogs thirty-two
and mankind thirty -two teeth. The al
ligator, shark, mowing machine, hay
rake, buzz saw and comb have a few
more, but are not included in the offi
cial count, and tbe hen has a peck.
Here is the small end of an item from
the Medford Mail : "Jerry Heckathorn,
who was expected home last week, had
the misfortune to cut off one of his little
toes. The lady with whom he was
boarding sewed it on again, but it did
not suit bim, and he took an ax and
laid the edge on tbe crippled toe and re-
severed it. Therefore he had to wait
nntil his toe was well in order to ride
home on his bicvcle."
M isses Ina and Blanche Forrest of
Olyiiipiii rode their bicycles down the
Wesiside bicycle path near Olympia
last Thursday, says the Olympian. At
tbe steepest point in tbe path a large
log had just been sawed in two, and a
part removed; just enough to let the
rider pass through with a close shave.
Jnst before reaching this point, the'
rear sprocket of Miss Ina's wheel broke,
and while she was whirling down grade
like lightning, she tried to "reverse,"
but the wheel shot downward and
against tbe log, which 'is several feet
high. She was thrown entirely over
this, and several yards into tbe brush
and knocked unconscious. Miss Blanche

who was just behind, and coming at the
same hf ml long speed, lost her presence
of iniml and her hold on her handle
bare. Her wheel struck the log with
such force that it jumped entirely over
it and landed with her on the other side.
They were both badly bruised, but not
seriously injured.

duties as receiver of The Dalles National
bank on the 15th.
M. Waddell, an old soldier, died yes
terday morning at bis place nine miles
southeast of town. The funeral tcok
place this afternoon.
Epping has gotten bondsmen and is
now at liberty. P. A. Largey, a mil
lionaire banker of Butte, Montana, fur
nished tbe bondsmen.
The west wind evidently did not get
enough exercise yesterday, so it is at its
old work again today, moving real estate
over into Sherman county.
The river is down to nearly the 35-foot
mark, and if it continues to fall as fast
for the next week as it has the past one,
the boats will be passing through the
locks by the middle of the month.
The salmon run is still light and re
ports from the mouth of the river are
not as cheerful as they might be. One
report is that there is a big run of
cbinook coming in, bat tbe catch at As
toria does not seem to verify the story.
W. G. Ronald, special organizer or
manager of the Endowment rank, K. of
P., met with Friendship lodge last nigbt
and gave the boys a talk on the endow
ment features of the order. The address
was listened to patiently, but it wan not
of a convincing character. Mr. Ronald
is a very clever gentleman, but well,
but.
A South Carolina moonshiner was
sentenced to the pen the other day, but
upon being asked by the judge if he bad
any reason to advance why sentence
should not be pronounced, pnt up the
remarkable plea that he had six wives
and thirty-nine children, all of whom
would suffer if be was deprived of Lis
liberty.
The display of work done bv tbe pu
pils at the the Sisters school is very
pretty. The penmanship is all good,
and the pencil sketches and initial let
tering on the specimens are artistic "and
attractive. There was some pretty
needle and crochet work, in fact all the
specimens of work showed that tbe
youne folks have the very best of train
ing and that they are made to do tbeir
work.
Clifford Howard, writing for the
Ladies' Home Journal, says that the
Conscience fund, maintained by tbe gen
eral government, yields about $300 a
month. Fie preaches a homily from
this on the power of corifcince. When
one thinks of the amount the govern
ment is robbed of and the amount re
turned into the Conscience fund, the
power of conscience is conspicuous from
its littleness.'
Earlier this year than ever before
people from the interior are flocking to
seaside. So far Clatsop beach is getting
the bulk of the travel, though a number
of parties have gone to Long beach dur
ing tbe past week. There remains no
doubt, however, that the excellent train
service over the Seaside branch of tbe
A. C. R. R. is having a very important
bearing on the beach eituation this year,
and it can be expected with a certainty
that the resorts on the Oregon side of

- A man on trial for attempted murder
in Bloomsburg, Pa., told in his testi
mony a suggestive and somewhat startl
ing story. He and a confederate bad
been discussing a method to murder a
woman whom they wished to get out of
the way. One of the men suggested the
germs of diphtheria by which the dis
ease could be imparted to the woman
and then she might die an apparently
natural death and no suspicion would be
aroused. Tnis was agreed to, and tbe
germs were obtained in New York. Tbe
plan was to scatter them over the dress
of tbe person it was designed to murder.
The scheme failed. The story is prob
ably false or else the man was imposed
upon, for it is not likely that diphtheria
germs have become an article of com
merce to be bought and sold.
She Came From the Locks.
Mrs. L. C. Eames is in the county
jail, sent there by a bard-hearted justice
of the peace at Cascade Locks, and all
for carrying concealed weapons. It is
charged that she carried a revolver in
the bosom of her dress, and was pre
pared to shoot any and all comers on tbe
slightest provocation.
In company with the editor of tbe
Times-Mountaiueer, we called at the jail
this morning for the purpose of getting
an item, and we got it. Tbe genial
sheriff, assisted by his deputy, invited
the newspaper aggregation into the cell,
and very accommodatingly locked the
door. Mrs. Eames immediately com
menced to unfold her tale of woe by tell
ing us that French was' her native lan
guage, and that she was handicapped in
telling her story on account of her in
ability to talk English. Mr. Douthit
kindly came to the rescue with tbe
statement that he was up on French,
and in response to ber agonized question
"Parlez vous Francais," responded, on
the spar of the moment, "Na-witka."
Then the flood tide of her woes was
loosened, and she gave the history of
the locks from the time of tbe first ap
propriation up to the present day.
Mrs. Eames is evidently slightly de
ranged, laying all her troubles to tbe K.
of P. She inquired of the newspaper
men as to what she ehonld do, bnt as
she had bad some o'f the best legal ad
vice in the city, the reporters very prop
erly refused to advise ber. One thing is
certain, and that is that her vocabulary
is developed to the utmost degree.
The editor of the Times-Mountaineer
leaned up against the fence to recover as
we left the courthouse ; but we, having j
been married longer, carried the load
easily.
Epworth League Conventliin.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ,
The second session1 ol the League con

prayer by Rev. E. C. Alford.

such as poetical characters, historical,
Biblical, etc. Tbe regular course of
study was urgently favored.
