field hands.
A New York crowd has arranged for
a trip to Alaska next ' spring. It will

noon, with nine applicants, eight young
ladies and one gentleman. Professor J.

night to attend to the duties of the po
sition. '
And still the candidates for govern
ment offices are kept on the anxious
seat. It begins . to look as thongh the
president had concluded not to appoint
until congress meats next December.
The tact that the delegation has reached
no agreement concerning the appoint
ments also indicates that they are not to
be made soon. ; ,
Spokane is to have a grand fruit fair,
beginning October 5th and closing Oc
tober 16th. Wasco county should make
an exhibit, as the fair is well attended
and thousand of strangers, attracted
from the East by the mining boom, will
thns get an idea ot what can be done in
this neighborhood in the wav of fruit
raising.
The Southern Pacific railroad during
the state fair, beginning September 30th
and ending October 8th, will 'sell tickets
from all stations on its lines in Oregon,

tells of a Moitan. legislator who, when.
some corrections in spelling and gram
mar in bis bill was calledto his atten

yon fellows have mncilated it !" It was
the same statesman who said, in ad
dressing a committee of which be was a
member: "The muddy slough of poli

law was split in twain, and fell in a

The committee appointed to collect
money for the tournament has not met

better than the price quoted here today.
A small lot was sold at that price, and
at the mill it is said 75 cents is being

From the- account of the Arlington

. M. (B. Murcbie lost a fine horse yes
terday a few miles from town. He had
just had the animal shod, and a man
who was doing to work for him drove it
in a single rig out toward 5-Mile. The
animal bad not been driven much, and,
when trotting a!ong,a hard piece of road
was struck and the horse became fright
ened at the sound of his own shod feet
npon the ground, and ran away, throw
ing the driver out of, the cart. After
going a short distance the animal ran
into a barbed wire fence and cut bis
throat so badly that he bled to death.
Alexander Bovell, an ex-sailor, aged
about 53 years, was arrested yesterday
at Portland charged with criminally as
saulting Hazel Fields, a little tot aged 5
years. - He would undoubtedly have
murdered the girl, had not S. H. Pow

fought the brute. . . Powers was getting
the worst of the fight, and being deter
mined not to let the villian escape, drew
a razor and commenced slashing away
witb it. Bovell managed to break away
from him and fled, but fortunately a
young man named caramons saw the
whole affair and taking after Bovell suc

Mr. E.- P. Whipple, representing the
C. B. Jeffries Fruit Company, says the
Register, has half a dozen men at work
at the E. C. Smith warehouse in Eu
gene, manufacturing tables and boxes.
Mr. Whipple expects to ship about fifty
carloads of green fruit East this season.
The fruit will be shipped to all the prin
cipal Eastern markets. He has placed
orders for material of 4000 pear boxes,
3000 prune cases and 12,000 baskets.
They are being shipped from Portland
and Grant's . Pass. The . demand for
pears in the East is quite brisk, and Mr
Whipple expects to make the first ship
ment of the " product next . Thursday.
Next week he , will commence shipping
prunes. Pickers and packers are now
gathering and preparing the pear crop

Portland is to send a steamer to run
on the Yukon. . It is the Eugene, which
will be towed to the mouth of the Yu
kon, leaving Seattle August 22d. She
draws only 2 feet of water loaded with
400 tons of freight, and expects to reach
Dawson City by September 10th.
Mrs." Mary Brittain and her brother,
Mr. Henry Bills, came up from Hosier,
where : they .' have been camping, last
night, having been sent for on account
of the fire of Wednesday. Mrs. Brit
tain's friends will be glad to learn that
her .household goods were insured for
$1000. ' . .-.'.;
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee last night it was determined to
go ahead with the tournament and the
collecting committee started out again
this morning. Our business men and
property owners should remember that
their fire department is not paid, and
that a liberal response to the call for
tournament funds, is after all but a
small return for services rendered.
. Reports . from a number of the most
prominent hopgrowers- of Lane county
are to the effect that mostot t,he hop
lice have been destroyed, and there is
but .little danger of them doing any in
jury to the hop crop. Spraying has
been resorted to in nearly all yards un
der cultivation this ! years, and many
growers have gone through the spraying
process thoroughly three times, and
nearly every yard has been sprayed
twice. Tbe prospects now are for a good
crop and a good price.
Tbe residence of Mr. Ohrt, two miles
from Tangent, was burned to the ground
Monday. . Tbe published account of tbe
affair states that at the time "Mr. Ohrt
was in tbe field, Mrs. Ohrt was lying on
tbe lounge and- the danghter was at
work.". This should be a warning to
girls not to go working about the house
while their mothers loaf on the lounge.
It is the only case on record of tbe
kind and the bouse burned down. -
F. H. VanNorden this morning re
ceived from his father, who is at the-
seaside, a. full grown specimen of a
"Stingarec" which be has displayed in
the window of his jewelry store. It is
all head but its stinger, or to be exact
all stinger except its head. . Looking at
that horn-like stinger one can easily be
lieve that if it was jammed into his sys
tem his first impression would be that
he had been stabbed with a marlin
spike. ;
-' Portland is disposed to find fault with
Seattle because the latter has outfitted
six men for tbe Yukon to her one. If
she only knew it, Portland is fast losing
a trade more profitable than that of the
Klondike. Seattle is selling . goods in
large quantities in the Willamette val
ley, even as tar south as Ashland, and
tbe trade of Eastern Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho is being absorbed by these
same Seattle rustlers. -They are under
selling and out-generalling Portland at
every . turn, and unless our metropolis
gets a move on, the grass will grow on
Front street. . : .
It has been claimed by . bird fanciers
that a China pheasant and a domestic
hen would not cross. - This theory has
been knocked in tbe head by John Kerns
of Philomath. Many months ago he
secured a China pheasant cock. and a
couple oi bantam hens and placed them
in an enclosure to themselves. In due
season hiB patience was rewarded witb a
setting of eggs. Of this setting only one
egg hatched, and it brought forth rather
a queer looking little rooster. It is now
six weeks or two months old and is as
livelv and strong . as possible. China
pheasants and domestic chickens can be
successfully crossed. ; This fact was
proven in this city last year by Dr. J. C.
Gray, whose fowls while running at
large cohabited with China pheasants
and , produced a ' handsome pair of by.
brids. Cor vallis Times.
AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Mrs. C. A. Short aod Ru Two Children
" " Burnitd to Death at Arlington. .
"News reached here thjs morning of a
terrible accident at Arlington last night
that resulted in'the burning to death of
Mrs. C. A. Sbnrte and two children.
Mr. Shurte was . almost crazed with
grief and from him' alone the particulars
could be learned. He went borne, he
says, about 1Q-.30 to 11 o'clock and went
to bed, placing the lamp ou a stand and
as he supposed turning it down and out.
He soon fell asleep, but was awakened
by a light in .his room, and discovered
that it was on' fire. As it did not have
much headway, he ran -out doors and
got the garden hose, thinking he could
soon put it out, but returning was hor
rified to find ; the door, which had a
spring lock on it, had closed. He ran
to tbe back door, but here the fire as
in control. Harrying back he broke in
the front door, but byj this time the
whole interior of the bouse was a mass
of flame. The firemen were soon on
hand and prevented tbe building burn
ing down, but were too late to save the
wife and children who were suffocated
and badly - burned, though, as we un
derstand, not beyond recognition. '" "
Mr. Shurte was the tnanager for J.- W.
Smith & Co., in their big mercantile
store, and . both lie 'and bis wife were
leaders in the Methodist church work,
and Were among Arlington's most re
spected citizens. Rev. R. Wjirner re
ceived a telegram from Frank; brother
of Mr. Shurte, this morning to come up,
and left this afternoon. : -
Nothing has ever happened in Gilliam

WEDNESDAY, NIGHT'S FIRE.
The Hlchelbach . Building on Second
Street Burned.
A fire alarm at 12 0 Wednesday night
brought tbe slumbering Dallesitea hur
riedly from their beds, and the fire had
gotten such headway that its location
was easily discovered, it being the frame
building back oi the'Union street lodg
ing house on Second street. The Jack
son cart got first water from the O. R. &
N. fire plug at the corner of. Union and
Second, having a full stream playing on
the fire in less than five minutes after
the alarm was given. In a few minutes
the other companies had streams play
ing, one from the company plug on First
street, one from the engine and one from
the city hydrant. Tbe fire was soon
under control, but it hung on persist
ently, 'refusing to be put out. The
building is partitioned into many small
rooms, . which prevented . the water
reaching all parts of it, and underneath
was a couple of cords of stove wood,
which burned fiercely. . -.'
At one time tbe shingles on Mrs-E.
M. Wilson's house canght fire, but was
extinguished witb a bucket of water.
A big burning shingle fell on the roof of
the - Columbia hotel, but it, too, was
soon taken care of.
The building belonged to the Michel
bach estate, and was insured for $1000
in tbe Hamburg Bremen Co. It was
occupied by Mrs. Brittain, who used it
as a lodging bouse. She was away at
the time, and whether the furniture was
insured we are unable to learn. Com
ing as it did in the middle of the night,
nothing was- saved frim the building,
and a lady who was lodging in the house
came near being seriously burned. ' As
it was her hair was singed, and she was
nearly frightened to death.
Tbe origin of the fire is a mystery,
though the indications are that it caught
from the stove in the northeast corner
basement room.
' The' building was hard to get at, tbe
companies using from 500 to 650 feet, of
hose each. :- , . . . -
As is usual at fires some ludicrous
things occurred. . Joe Bonn rode his
wheel to the fire, and although it has
rat-trap pedals; did.uot discover that he
had started 'without bis shoes until he
hurt his feet on the rocks.' .
At one time the nozzle on the hose
from the engine nearly got away from
the ' boys, and they all piled on it until
it looked like a struggle at a foot-ball
match. , ' .
This morning at an early hour, while
assisting in putting out tbe slumbering
embers. Mr. chooling slipped aad fell,
cutting his - wrist badly on a piece of
broken glas?. - .
- The members of the fire department
deserve praise for their quick response
and tbe bueiuess-like manner in which
they went to work. '

The latest story in railroad circles is
about Mr. Flannigin, a. section boss.
His superior was Mr, Lannigin, to whom
Mr. Flaauigin made his reports. These
reports he was in tbe habit of writing
out at great and o necessary length uptil
he was finally advised by bis boss to nse
more brevity in making them out. Some
time 1 after there was a small freight
wreck on Flannigia's section, in which
one or two cars were ditched. The
wreck was cleared up by Flannigin's
crew, and whet the chief section boss
received the report it read as follows:

J. A. Wright, the merchant, and Mr.
P.. I- Kelley, of Sparta, arrived, in
Union at one o'clock Monday morning,
bringing with them chunks of ore carry
ing big pieces of free ' gold which were
picked from a newly discovered ledge, a
mile and a half south of Sparta. The
find was made on Sunday by a -man
known in the Sparta locality as "Kana
ka Sam," who has been employed ' in
Mr. Wright's store. A boy Tiding on
horse-back in this locality on Sunday
also found the out-cropping of an ex
tension of this new ledge and picked out
with his fingers $7.50 in gold.
. Claims have been located by J. A.
Wright, P. L.';' Kellev and, "Kanaka
Sam." - : - ' -.
' The find has caused no little excite
ment and a big amount of the' quartz
has been boxed up for ' shipment direct
to the mint. It is estimated that it will
go at least (40,000 to - the too, but of
course no one as yet-knows bow exten
sive ifmay be.
There is a well settled conviction in
the minds of all practical mining men
that there is in the Sparta vicinity a
rich feeder ledge to the placer deposits
of that district which have yielded per
haps a million dollars in tbe last thirty
years. Some day this mother lode will
be uncovered and Sparta will become
one of the prominent mining camps of
the world. . - - . .. v

The Minneapolis journal, which cornea
from the great wheat milling center of
the Northwest, in giving its views of the
future outlook for wheat, says u . - .
Tbe price of wheat is encouragingly
firm considering tbe outlook for a 675,
000,000 bushel home crop.- There are'
decreased wheat harvest in Germany,
Russia, France, Hungary, India, Aus
tralia and Argentina. Hence ' the bull
statistical position is eminently sound,1
especially as the world's stock has
shrunk to 7o ,000,000 bushels. The out
look is favorable, of course, at present,
for the American farmer, as in 1879
where the country entered upon a
splendid period of prosperity after the
depression ot the panic ot 1873.
