We are informed that - Astoria has offered a bonus of $50,000 to Mr. Byers, the Pendleton miller, to induce him to is wide-awake but Byers will probably re-establish his business in the center of the -wheat belt, where be has the first chance at the crop. In addition to the money, a site for the mill is also offered Christopher C. Woodford of Dufur filed upon a homestead at the U. S. land office today. Few would suspect from famous old scout, Kit Carson, but such is the fact, and Christopher C. Wood ford in Nevada was known as Kit Wood ford, He was born in Carson valley, being the first white child born in what is today the state ot Nevada. Otto Krahn, a convict in the peniten tiary at Salem, was shot and instantly killed by Guard McCorwick Thursday evening. McCormick bad juBt been ap pointed guard, and was on duty for the first time. Krahn, who was sent from Multnomah county for eight years Jan. 1, 1893, undoubtedly thought McCor mick being green, would not shoot, but he was mistaken. Mr. James Sellick sent in this morning some snecimena of SDuds crown on 16 Mile that would soon disseminate the famine in Ireland. The potatoes weigh from two to four pound each, are solid to the core, tree from codlin moth or San Jose scale, and are warranted good keepers. We forget the name of the variety, but if they are not Bellflowers or Baldwins, they must belong to the Polled Angus, Shropshires, Chester Whites or Plymouth Rocks. We are not certain, but make these suggestions as suggestions only. The funeral of John Grant took place this morning from the Episcopal church. The long procession following the hearse spoke eloquently of the esteem in which the.dead man was held. We learn since noting bis death yesterday, that he was born in Den head Dramblade Hantky, Aberdeinshire, Scotland, in March 1850. He served nine and a half years as con stable in Yorkshire, came to America in 1882, and to Oregon in 1884. He died Tuesday, Nov. 2, and we are informed leaves one brother in Scotland, and it is thought one in Canada. The city council met last night in special session, and granted a franchise to the Parrott Lighting Company, be sides making a contract for the lighting of the city for, a period of five years at the agreed price of $1000 per year. Be sides this the company agrees to furnish 12 office lights. The lights are said to be of fine quality, and -those shown at .Mays '& Crowe's some time since were certainly gcod. We hope "the lights may prove all that was expected of them, though we must confess a pre ference for the electric glow. -Monday's Dally. Last night's, train brought ten jury men from Hood River. .

' Three little runaway boys from Mer lin, aged 7, 9 and 11 years, were picked up by the marshal "on the streets of Grant's Pass, in Josephine county, last week. Later the boys were turned loose, and were finally overtaken by their father near Hayes. The young sters were good walkers, as it is seven teen miles from Gram's Pass to Hayes. The foot race between Cameron and Wheat, which is to come off Wednesday at Wasco, was reported to have been run Saturday. This we understand is a mis take, that the parties got together and tried to get the ace pulled off, but alter scoring several times,' no arrangements could be made, and the parties pat up $150 more, each, on the race which will come of Wednesday, as advertised. . . Trai.klaying on the Goble road was completed Thursday to a point a quar ter 'of a mile beyond Eldri-.lge'e, about nineteen miles from Aslona, and the force will now go back on the line, sort facing and : ballasting, so the -materia trains can be run over the track. In a week or ten days the force will go ahead tracklavinz strain.

Curtis, pastor of the Congregational chnrch in this city, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Chas. Bruen, of Grand Dalles. Miss Bruen is well and favorably known in this citr, as well as in the vicinity of her home, while the 'groom is a prosperous young sheepman of Klickitat county. Invitations are being issued for the grand re-opening of the Commercial club rooms Saturday evening. The rooms have been most beautifully and artistically re-furnished, aad the occa sion next Saturday is in the nature of house warming, a gathering of the old members of the club household in their newly-furnished home. ' It promises to be the swell event of the season, and those fortunate enough to receive an in vitation can consider themselves fairly "in the swim." We understand coats with the swallow fork in the tail, and dresses of the low cut style are to be the things au fait on that occasion, and al ready the pretty girls and brave young fellows, who dare to deserve them, are preparing for the event. It is just our luck that instead of a swallow fork, our coat-tails have a crop and nnder-bit. Tuesday'! Dally. Claude H. McCoy filed on a home stead in township 5, south of range 11. east, at the land office today. One drunk and disorderdy was brought befoae the . city recorder this morning and charged a $5 piece for his time. Richard Carlyle had a hearing in Jus tice Filloon'a court this morning, the charge being larceny of a saddle. The case bad cot been finished at the time of going to press. The case of the State of Oregon against Ira Millard for indecent exposure is be fore the court this afternoon. A jury had not yet been selected, however, at the time of going to press. A. Y.

There . will also be trap and pigeon shooting at the same time and place. nov8 24 , Saturday, a 'week ago, E. Bunyard, while at work with a team at White Horse, in Harney county, was kicked by a horse, and a loaded wagon ran over him, inflicting injuries, from .which he died later. The invitations for the ball to be given by the Cedar Circle on Friday, Novem ber 19th, have been issued. The . ball will take place in the Vogt, and prom ises to to be one of the swell events of the season. ' " . , Mr. F. S. Gordon, proprietor of the new Tygh flouring mills, is In the city, aniving this afternoon. He tells us the mill will be ready to start work in about ten days, and that it will have a capa city of fifty barrels a day. ' The Commercial club rooms presented a busy appearance all day. Members of the club have' suddenly taken a great interest in the new quarters, and the way new . furniture is being unpacked, pictures put in place, and so forth, is a caution. Leo F. Bruen and wife and John Mc Allister and wite, the two nappy coop-J les whose marriage notices appeared in yesterday's issue, came over from their respective homes in Klickitat yesterday and look dinner at the Umatilla. They were met at the door of the dining ball by eome Dalies friends and showered .with rice as . well ' as good wishes for their future happiness. . They leave to morrow for Portland and the Sound cities, on their wedding trip.

Jones and Ed Marehall will ap pear , before Justice Fillooa today, charged with larceny from a dwelling. As this is the third or fourth time that Marshall has been tried for a like charge, it would be well if the court gave him a sentence that he would remember. Logging camps all along tho lower Co lumbia are just now filled with 'life and activity. The price of log-i continues to up, and loggers are consequently happy. Vast bodies of timber land, for several years ptst practically of no value, are certain to prove desirable holdings in the near future. ; ''"'.-' The Daily Astorian says; "Fall fish ing this season has been the poorest in years. - Seiners' and gillnetters make iittle above expenses." . This may be true of the lower river, but . the fisher men in this vicinity have no such com plaint to make. On the contrary they say that it has been one of the beet fall seasons for some years. ' Anyone who has any doubts as to whether qr not Eastern Oregon can raise fruit that is second to none in the land, should see some of the apples which are at The Dalles Commission Co. They are of different varieties, large, free from worms and other pests, and as delicious as anyone could desire, and were raised by Frank Garlow ol 8-Mile. ' Five men are in the Colfax jail on sus picion of being the murderers of Orville Hayden, a popular young man of Farm ington, who was waylaid, ' robbed and killed by highwaymen last week. The robbers had a few minutes before held op two other young men, and after rob bing and binding them hand and foot, laid them in a fence corner where they witnessed the holding up and murder of Hayden. As there were only two high waymen, three of the prisoners under suspicion must be innocent. The Crook county Journal reports a rich strike in the Ochoco mines near Prineville, saying the McCallister boys' had run a tunnel - through the ore and ninty feet beyond without knowing it, and that the ore was only discovered by its slacking and falling down. ' This speaks strongly for the McCallisters en ergy but is not a strong enddrsement of their knowledge of mining. The ore is said to work nearly $80 to the ton, and the ledge to be three feet thick,. The Klamath reservation Indians, of the Klamath agency division, finished threshing last Monday. The crop yield ed 9943 bushels wheat, 5024 bushels; oats, 3393 ; rye, 1449 ; barley, 77. The total yield of grain for any half dozen years put together would probably not equal th:a season's yield alone. The In dians are delighted with the results of their labors, and highly appreciate the encouragement given them by their farmer. George Hnrn. If the weather continues good they will seed quite an acreage to wheat this fall. ' A Crook County Mine. Crook county has a wealth-producer of her own, almost at the very door of Prineville. For more than ten years George and Lewis McAllister, two brothers, have worked faithfully and earnestlv on a mining claim Jn the Ochoco district, putting all their spare time and all the money they earned on the outside in development work. While others thought their chance visionary, or at best uncertain, the faith of the brothers never wavered. They sunk a shaft ' some sixty feet deep, which they were obliged to abandon because o the flow of water, and their inability to pro cure necessary pumping machinery. Thev then ran a 400-foot tnnnel into the mountain, with the design of intercept ing the ledge. In doing this, as they afterwards discovered, they passed through the ledge and ran the tunnel ninety feel beyond it. The ledge was discovered by the slacking of the ore through exposure to the air, and the falling of chunks of rock into the tunnel. A few weeks ago about 2 tons of the ore was hauled down to Prineville, and shipped by Joe Howard and Dr. Bel knap to the Tacoma smelting works. The returns arrived last week fn the form of a check for $152.28. The exact amount of ore smelted was 4458 pounds. Toe yield was 3.92 ounces of gold per ton, worth $20 an ounce, -and 25.7 ounces of silver per ton, worth 58g an ounce, making a total yield of $79.73 per ton. The cost of smelting was $9 a ton, and the freight from Prineville,to The Dalles was one cent a pound, and from The Dalles t J Tacoma $24. After deducting cost of freight from Prineville toTacsma and cost os smelting, there is a net bal ance on this less than two tons and a quarter ol ore of more than $100. School Report.

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT. New Railroad Brldg-e Shifted Into Place In Two Mlnates Twenty-eight Seconds. What- is believed to be one of the greatest engineering feats on record was undertaken successfully in Philadelphia recently on the New York division of the Pennsylvania railroad. The old iron span in the bridge crossing the Schuyl kill river in the Fairmount park was re placed by a new structure of steel in the space of 2 minutes and 28 seconds, accurately timed. . Owing to the heavy equipment which the railroads are adopting to . meet the demands of heavier traffic the old span in the bridge was deemed too light. A new steel span has been in progress of construction for some months on false work erected in the river alongside of and parallel to the old one. It is known as a Pratt truss span. ' The problem presented itself how to substitute the new structure for the old. It was effected between the passage of two way trains over the bridge nine minutes apart. In that short time the tracks were cut from the old span, both structures ' were raised 'by hydraulic jacks and settled on 136 iron rollers three feet in diameter which moved on two tramways. These tramways extend ed on the opposite side of the bridge far enough to hold the old span when the new one was shifted into its place. . .At a given signal stationary engines set the shifting process in' motion, and it was completed Bmootuly and success fully in less than 2 minutes. The weight on the tramways was 1,700 tons. The tracks were rejointed and the entire operation was effected without delay to the next train to.arrive. i The new span is double tracked and is 242 feet long, 25 feet wide and 30 feet above the surface of the river.

Edison or Tesla might find here a vast fund of energy that in some way might be transferred into light, heat or force; but until they do, the consumers of the canned goods may . well congratulate themselves, as their gastric juices get in their work on the contents ofthe cans, that the Linnton" company could not seal np and preserve the concentrated devilment and ubiquitousmovements of those same cayusea.
