The auction sale ot . the Frazier fruit
ranch advertised to take place this aft
ernoon, did not come off, simply because
there were no bidders. The pre-requi-site
of $3,500 cash, precluded roost peo
ple from even thinking of bidding, and
those who already have a fortune did not
want a fruit ranch.
The canneries on the lower river have

Henry Heikee, who is getting np the
wild West show for next Saturday, in
forms as the matter is now an assured
success. He has plenty of material to
work with, their being several of the In
dians here who were with the original
show. There will be races between
cowboys on horseback and Indians on
foot, riding bucking horses, holding np
the stage, Indian dances and games ; and
in fact a genuine Wild West Show.
The Glacier says, that Coitus Dave,
the old Indian landmark, has lost the
key to the padlock that locks his boose.
The amusine Dart of the story is that

thought it necessary to lock the house.

It is feared aronnd Colfax that there
will be a scarcity of harvest hands, and
farmers are anxiously inquiring for men
to assist in taking care of the immense
crop. There has been a steady exodus
of idle men to the Walla Walla country,
and as a result there are less men around
Colfax looking for work than was ever
known at this season of the year,
Wages have been advanced to the old
scale in vogue before the hard times, but
it is feared at the advanced wages there
will not be enough men to care for the
crop.
The editor of the Dufur Dispatch is
disposed to find fault with the order of
the county court and the county clerk
on account of the order recently made to
keep the public oat of the vault, and
from having indiscriminate access to the
records. The order is a good and neces
sary one. Any citizen who wants to see
the records is, of coarse, entitled to do
so. Nobody denies that, but it is to
prevent everybody going into the vault,
where there are, besides the records,
thousands of valuable papers. The only
change made is that those who want to
see the records will have them brought
out to them.
Maggie Maddock met with a frightful
accident last Monday evening, and the
greatest wonder is that she is alive today
to tell the tale. A few feet from the
hotel kitchen door is a 25-foot well, with
about 8 feet of water. The trap-door or
covering was not securely fastened and
hen Maggie stepped on it, quick as a
flash she was precipe ted to the bottom
of the well. As she went down she gave
a scream, which soon brought the horror-stricken
family to the scene, also Ed.
Melson, who promptly went down after
her. He was not a second too soon, as
the fall had stunned her and she was al
most drowned when he reached her.
Being almost a grown woman, it re
quired more strength than Ed. possessed
to get ber oat, and Mr. Hyde also went
down in the well, and by the aid of
ropes and those above, the half-dead
girl was rescued. Outside of several
pretty bad braises, Maggie was not in
jured to any great extent, except, of
coarse, being scared out of a year's
growth or so. Bat it was a thrilling (al-

Six carloads of hogs from Island City
were fed at the stock yards last night;
and three carloads more arrived today.
The first watermelons of the season
were on sale at the Commission house
this morning. They were grown by Mr.
Stadtelman.
A few loads of wheat have been re
ceived at Pendleton. It was sold to the
roller mills for 50 cents a bushel, and
was brought in from the reservation by
squaws.
W. L. Ward arrived home from Win-
nemacca, Nevada last night, bringing
with him his brother-in-law, who is very
sick. Mr. Ward went to Wlnnemucca
laBt week after him.
The Dalles City brought np a large lot
of freight last night, and this morning
was loaded to the guards, having among
her other freight 700 sheep shipped by
Mr. Ketch am to Troatdale.
Miss Alice Thompson was thrown
from a horse at Rufus last night. Her
right elbow was dislocated and both
bones of ber right arm broken near the
wrist. Dr. Hollister repaired the dam

There will be a fine musical programme,

Lieutenant Riddell this morning re
ceived a very handsome silver match
safe, a present from Company C of
Pendleton. As he was acting adjutant
of tbe Third regiment, and as the adju
tant generally gets more kicks than
thanks, it is fair to presume that Lieu
tenant Kiddell filled the place to the
satisfaction of the boys, and he is de
lighted with this token of their eBteem
Alexander Henderson, a Baker county
pioneer, was killed Friday morning near
Baker City. No one witnessed tbe acci
dent, but it is supposed he fell over the
sickle bar of a mowing machine which
he was starting to the field, as when
found the body was fast, one arm being
caught on a finger of the sickle bar.
Tbe team ran a distance of 150 yards to
the barn, dragging him, and when found
hie neck was broken, though he was still
alive and lived in an unconscious con
dition for two boars.
Some of the farmers of Lincoln county
evidently expect to realize a handsome
margin on their labor this year. Glas
gow & McLean, who owned a third in
terest in a field of 250 acres of wheat,
sold their interest in the crop last week
to George Hoffman for $1000. Their
share in tbe 250 acres was 83 acres and a
fraction. This gives a fair idea of what
farmers expect to make this fall, when
they thus calculate on-clearing $1000
over all expenses on 83 acres. This field
of grain is no better than scores of other
fields all over the coonty.
B. F. Brock, of Eufaula, in Wahkia
kum, has nearly four miles of his new
logging railroad graded and ready for
the ties and iron. The present road is
three and a half miles long, and is con
structed for the most part of 40-pound
steel rails. The roadbed is in excellent
condition and carefully ballasted; the
ties are sawed and the grades have been
reduced to the lowest 'possible limit.
The road is narrow gaoge, and is equipp
ed with two locomotives and plenty of
cars. The extension of the road crosses
some canyons, where it is necessary to
erect trestl9 work 35 feet high.
Tbe committee appointed by tbe Com
mercial club to examine the route of the
proposed railroad to the Deschutes per
formed its labors yesterday. The com
mittee took with it Mr. Johnson, a rail
road surveyor, and , will report to tbe
Clob at once. The grade was found to
be much easier than was expected, not
exceeding 1 per cent coming from the
Deschutes, and 1)4 per cent going out.
The summit is about 600 feet above Tbe
Dalles, and the road to the Deschutes at
the foot of Rattlesnake grade will be 25
miles in length. The cost would be be
tween $8,000 and $10,000 a mile to build
and equip the road. Tbe committee is
strongly in favor of baying a survey
made.
The customary Children's Day exer
cise being omitted mis year at toe m.

Deming, the latter having been written
by Mr. W. S. Chipp. A solo was sang

Hilda Beck and Grace Wilierton and
Misses Michell and Sylvester.' It has
been the custom at these yearly exer
cises to have a short memorial service

Accordingly Miss Clara Nickelsen pre
sented a bouquet in remembrance of
Jessie Butler, reciting some very appro
priate verses, and Miss Myrtle Michell

Mr. Wilcox, of Eagle Creek, Oregon,
missed one of bis cows a few days ago,
and when he finally found her he dis
covered that she had adopted a young
fawn and was taking proper care of it.
A few days later she gave birth to a calf,
and now the calf and fawn receive the
same motherly attention.
The sugar factory at Chino, California,
started up Saturday on the largest and
best crop ever raised at that place. It
is estimated that tbe 450 men employed
will work for 150 days, and that in that
time 33,000,000 pounds of granulated
sugar will be made. The output last
year was 22,000,000 pounds.
New wheat has been sold in Pendleton
for 55 cents a buBhel, and the East Ore
gonian estimates, taking San Francisco
prices and allowing for freight and com
missions, that it is worth 56 cents.

wheat will be not less than 60 cents.

for an order restraining the town treas
urer of Ilwaco from paying warrants is
sued to C. C.Dalton for bis expenses at

charges him with stealing ahorse valued
at $25, the same being the property of
B. Parodi. He was arraigned in tbe re,
corder's court this afternoon and enter'
ed a plea of not gnilty. The trial of the

Bobbins Thursday afternoon. Heater
was arrested last night by Night-watch
man Wiley, bnt when he arrived at the
jail be broke away, followed by Wiley,
who fired at him two or three times. He
escaped in the darkness bat was caught
at home this morning about 5 o'clock by
Wiley and Sheriff Driver. Heater seems
determined to get into trouble, generally
caused by drinking, and it is only a
question of time, if he does not change
his ways, until he is sent below.
One of Chas. Hilton's bands of sheep,
in charge of Geo. Caven of Fossil, was
shot into on the nights of July 2d and
3d, near the head of Kabler Basin. On
the night ot tbe 2d the herder's cabin
was surrounded and twenty-five pistol
shots fired into tbe band, killing one
sheep. On the night of the 3d the mis
creants returned and again shot into the
band, killing four sheep. On this night
the herder stepped outside, and part of
the gang surrounded him while the
others did the shooting. Next day
George palled oat of there with the
sheep, as he didn't think the climate
quite suited him. George threw op his
job, and a new herder, a Frenchman,
was sent back to Kahler Basin with tbe
sheep. There is bad blood between the
cattlemen and farmers of that locality
and the sheepmen of Gilliam and Mor
row counties who take their sheep onto
government land in that Bection for sum
mer range, and it is not unlikely that
human blood will be spilt ere a stop be
put to these dastardly outrages. Fossil

Serlons Accident.
Last Monday as Mr. F. S. Fleming,
wife and two children, in company with
Mrs Fleming's mother, were attempting
to drive a hack team by a snort route in
to the road from Tygh to Wamic, .they
met with a sad accident. The grade be
ing so steep the doubletree gave way, tbe
back running back down the hill. Mr.
Fleming clung to the lines and was
dragged from the hack while the rest of
the family were carried back some fifty
steps when the hack was overturned in
such a manner that none of the family
could get out. Mrs. Newton, tbe mother
of Mrs. Fleming, had her left arm
broken in two places and ona rib was al
so broken. All were seriously bruised.
Dr. Powne of Tygh, was called and did
all in his power to relieve the sufferers.
We are told that Dr. Powne had this
week, four patients under his care with
broken limbs, tbe result of accidents on
tbe grades on either side of Tygh. Dufur

Boxing; Contest.
The boxing contest came off on a barge
in the river last night about 11 o'clock.
It was the original intention to take the
barge across the river, but as it was dis
covered no one intended to interfere
with them, tbe plan was changed and
the contest came off on this side.
The first event was a ten-round match
for points between Dan Godfrey and Joe
McAuliff for points.. Those who saw it
say. Godfrey is very scientific, and
showed some fine boxing.
This was followed by a three-round
contest ' for points between Joe Daffron
and Dick Rogers; and this by another
three-round contest, also for points, be
tween two others. The boxing was very
good, and no slogging was indulged in,
it being a purely scientific display of the
'manly art."
Sinking; ror Water.
The management of the Flagstaff mine
has placed a force of miners to sinking,
and in a few days the seven hundred
foot level will have been reached. The
company is still handicapped on account
of a lack of water, but the volume is
gradually increasing as depth is attained,
and judging from all indications It is
only a matter of time until a sufficient
quantity will be obtained. The mill ia
now running 12 hours per day, and the
results are very encouraging. Mr. E.
Imhaus, the agent of the French Flag
staff Mining Co., is pushing develop
ment work rapidly ahead under the su
perintendence of Mr. O. W. Reynolds,
but as yet he considers that the Flagstaff
is nothing more than a prospect, as be
is of the opinion that it will require ad
ditional work td determine the perma
nency of the property. Tbe gentleman
is a conservative mining man, and, un
like many others engaged in this busi
ness, he does not allow his enthusiasm,
to get away with his better judgment.
However, with safficientwater the Flag
staff will be enabled to make a splendid
showing. Baker Democrat.
More Trouble.
Misfortunes never come single, at least
George Alick found this tbe case recent
ly. The day after his wedding he was
arrested, charged with larceny. There
was no proof to substanriate that charge,
bat while he was in the clutches of the
law his step-mother put in an appear
ance and persuaded tbe girl to leave
George. Now that he has regained his
freedom, he cannot find his bride.
George is not yet 20 years, and yet in
three brief years be has managed to be
married three times, and to have lost all
his wives, each of whom in turn has left
him. He is persistent, though, and be
lieves with Milne, '"Tis better to have
loved and lost than never to have loved
at all."

Son Never Seta on Uncle Sam's Domains.
'The Britons proudly boast that the
son never sets on tbe Queen's Domin
ions, as if they were special subjects of
solar favoritism," writes William George
Jordan on 'The Greatest Nation on
Earth,' in the July LadieB Home Jour
nal. "But it ia equally true that there
is always sunshine on some part of Un
cle Sam's great possessions. When it is
6 p. m. on Atoto's Island, Alaska, it is
9 :36 a. m. of the day following at East-
port, Maine. If we locate the center of
the United States, calculating it as mid
day between longitude 67 of EaBtport
and longitude 19S of Atoto's Island, it
