in charge of the store of the Geiser Mer
cantile Co. at Bonanza, Baker county.

Missionary efforts among the cannibals
of the New Hebrides show promising re
sults, the Rev. John Pa ton, stationed
there, reporting 1122 converts during the
last year, the correction of their dietary
habits being complete and possibly - per
manent. One million and fifty thousand dol
lars' worth of wheat was the output of
the soil in Whitman county last week.
There is no better gold-producing soil
anywhere than this soil of the North
west ; but no special hardship attends
money making here.
Conductor Bice was somewhat bruised
in the wreck near Arlington last night.
The wreck was caused by a broken axle
and Mr. Rice was thrown from one side
of the oar to the other as it bumped
along over the ties. His injuries are
only bruises and these will soon heal.
The. delayed overland train passed
here at noon today, and among its other
passengers had the detail of twenty-five
regular soldiers, who will leave Portland
by the next steamer for St. Michaels,
Alaska. The men were selected for the
service, and are a hardy, fine looking
lot, apparently capable of standing lots
of hardship.
The west-bound passenger trains, due
here from from Baker City and Spokane
at an early hour this morning, passed
through about 11 o'clock, having been
detained by a freight train two miles the
other side of Arlington. The freight,
which was an extra in charge of Con
ductor Bice, in some way got two cars
and the caboose off -the track. The
damage was trifling.
The salmon run is better than the
average fall ran, both in quantity and
quality. Seufert Bros, have shipped
four carloads of freeh fish to New York,
and besides these their cannery is run
ning to its utmost capacity. Yesterday
thirty-five tons were put up. At Tafia's
place everything is rushing, and yester
day one wheel captured twenty-eight
tons of as good fall salmon as ever came
out of the Columbia.
W. D. Hoffman, one of the largest
sheep-owners . of Diamond, Harney
county, has been in Huntington for the
last week, looking after the sale of his
wool, and wan successful, through the
efforts of the O. C. Company, in selling
his entire clip of 70,000 pounds to J.
Koahland & Co. of Boston, for the hand
some price of 12 cents, being the high
est piice wool has been sold for this
season at any point east of The Dalles.
B. S. Lowe brought into town today a
big porcupine, which his 12-year-old boy
caught about a month ago. The boy
bad gone to the pasture after a horse,
and finding the fretful porker, managed
to drive it home and into a box. The
animal has been confined so long and
teased so much, that it has lost all its
quills by fighting its tormentors. It
proved to be quite a curiosity to many,
it being in a box with a wire netting
nailed over it, so that it could be seen
plainly.
' "Grant Ledford, a young man en
gaged in herding sheep for J. H. Sberar,
near White river, while attending to his
duties carries a small rifle for the pur
pose of killing coyotes and game. Mon
day, when stopping for a few moments
as the sheep grazed, be Bet the butt of
the gun on a log, when be slipped and
the hammer striking the log, was dis
charged. Ledford had hold of the gun
with his left hand clasped over the muz
zle. The result was that the little finger
was shot entirely off and two or three
others badly injured. He was forced to
walk from White river to Tygh, a dis
tance of twenty-eight miles, to get his
wound attended to.
. A bona fide spook is now sojourning
in Astoria, according to the statements
of several persons. The apparition was
first noticed by a young man residing in
West Astoria. While talking to a young
lady the vision, which is described as
being a woman seven feet in height, en
veloped in a white robe and wearing a
bonnet, appeared. The man . attempted
to interview her, but she jumped over a
railing into the river and disappeared.
Last evening Thomas Traskker, another
West Astorian, met the spook. As be
fore, she jumped . into the river. The
spook, or lady, walked out of No. 3
engine house last night and frightened
two persona half to death.
John Clark, who owns the Baker City-Baisley-Elkborn
stage line, tells a
curious incident, which happened at the
other end of the line, says the Baker
City Republican. The stage team was
bitched in the barn for the eight.- Sqme
time; after one of the horses sot loose
from" his fastenings, and,'' going" to the
further' end of .the, barn,' where there
was a sack - of . oats leaning against a
barrel of the same grain, the - horse
picked np the sack of oats, with bis
teeth, carried it to its mate, and, placing
it in front of him, went back and satiB
fled his own hunger from the barrel
There can be no mistake about this.
says Mr. Clark, for the oats were spilled
all along the line of travel from the
barrel to the horse that was hitched,

going down a steep hill. He was thrown
under the wagon, which passed over bis
leg, crushing it in a frightful manner.
The team ran away. The wagon "was a
total wreck, and part of the load was
ruined. One horse was killed.
Tbe managers of the fair have done
their part in arranging tor the fair ; the
citizens of The Dalles have done tbeir's
in subscribing liberally for the purses
for the speed contests, and all that re
mains to be done to make tbe fair a suc
cess is that tbe farmers should display
their products and the, citizens take an
interest, and the fair will be a grand
success. We suggest that on this occa
sion such farmers as have grown any
sugar beets bring them in and exhibit
them, and that arrangements be made
for shipping tbe lot to San Francisco
and having them tested.

things be can get along without. As a
compensation for this the newspaper
should be the first to feel the easing np
of money and the returns from bounti
ful cropa.
Let The Chbonicli, which has cheer
fully waited for ita pay through the
years of adversity, be able to rejoice;
with you in bounteous crops, good prices
and improved conditions. ,
Crops have been good and prices are
high, and we are glad indeed to note
that most of our farmers are in prosper
ous condition. It puts them in position
to lift the mortgage from the farm, to
settle up old store bills, and to once
more be relieved of the worry attending
hard times. One of the smallest bills
they owe is that to the country news
paper, and this is one they should be
first to pay. There is no business that
so quickly feels the existence of hard
times as the newspaper.' Much as 'the
farmer may desire to keep the paper
visiting him every week, it is one of the
Gems From the Pilot House.
The Regulator carries in her pilot
house a book for visitors to register their
names in, tbe book being also provided
with e Daces for the visitors to recoid
their impressions,' Some very pretty
things have been recorded therein. Mr.
Allaway, in examining it a . few days
ago, ran across two. which be kindly
copied for us. Tbe first is from the
facile pen of one of tbe best story writer
in existence, Mrs. Ella Higginson of
Whatcom, and is a little gem ; tbe other,

FOUR-LEAP CLOVER.
I know a place where the sun is like gold.
And the cherry blooms burst with snow;
And down underneath is the loveliest nook
Where the four-leaf clovers grow. '
One leaf is for Hope, and one is for Faith,
And one is for Lore, you know ;
And God put another in for Luck
If you search, you will And where they grow.
But you must have hope and you must hare
faith;
You must lore and be strong, and so
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

Cats and Km.
Here it a sort of perpetnal motion
affair. A firm of moneyed men in New
York have bought a piece of land and
will stock it with 1,000 black cats and
5,000 rats. It is estimated that the cats
will increase to 15,000 in a year or two,
and black cat skins are worth $1. The
rats will multiply five times as fast as
tbe cats, and the rats will be caught,
skinned and tbe bides sold to kid glove
manufactures, while their carcasses will
feed tbe cats. On the other hand, the
carcasses of the- skinned cats will be fed.
to tbe rate. This is one of the best self
supporting; schemes we ever heard of
and there is a gold mine in it. Tbe cats
will be allowed to increase until tbe
100.000 limit is reached, when the
income will be enormous, as no feed,
will be necessary after tbe first year.
Taxpayers. Attention.
This is my last and final call to yon,
as tbe county court haB issued an im
perative order.
By virtue of a warrant to me directed,
issued, by tbe clerk oi the county court
of the state of Oregon for the county of
Wasco, commanding me to collect tbe
delinquent, county, state and other
taxes. I will, on the 1st day of October,
1897, without further notice, levy upon
and sell all property upon which taxes
remain unpaid. T. J. Dkivek,
