Several cowl have died recently at Hood River from a disease that the citi zens do not know how to treat. Frank Menefee was yesterday ap pointed administrator of the estate of tbe late James Grey, of Wapinitia. Between now and January 1st the O. R. AN. Co., will expend $100,000 im proving the road bed between The Dalles and Cascade fcks. The Dalles "Jeffersonian" democrats have decided to postpone their ratifica tion meeting till the "Jeffersonians" return from the summer resorts.

A party of woolbuyers and others, who are wont to bathe of evenings in the Columbia at a point near the old O. R. A N. Co.'s incline, yesterday killed a rattle snake at that point that meas ured three feet and had eleven rattles. This is a rare occurrence for this neigh borhood. II. C. Gordion brought into town this morning samples of Gravenstein apples one of which measured 12.'g inches in circumference. They were grown on the hill west of Odd Fellows' cemetery, without a drop of irrigation and are mere samples of what is going on there all the time. If yon know of any dead-sure remedy that will bring bark to life about thirty beautiful house plants, make an offer of it to Ed Kurtz of the Pacific Express Company. He may not buy it, or even accept it as a gift, but he needs it, all the tame. Following the advice of a Hon of Belial yesterday Ed "fumigated" his plains, with the result that they are all dead. Crook county possesses some remark ahly natural features of landscape, among which is an immense column of rork near the head of Mill creek known r Steins' Pillar. It stands on a steep hillside, is about 120 feet in diameter and 350 high, towering to this height with perpendicular walls, it being fully as large at the top as at the base. Its (nmiuit will never be desecrated by the 'oot of man, unless it should fall down. Major I,ee Moorhouse. of Pendleton, furnishes the Information that the Nez Perce and Umatilla Indian name for the Peak of Mount Hood is"Matsuin-hi-hi," which, in the Indian dialect, means the "breast of the mother." In the Ian K'ig of these tribes, which is based on eymliole, the earth is made the mothor because all Hying things receive their nourishment from the earth, hence the 'eason for their naming the snow white !k of Mount Hood, the breast, or one of the breasts, of the mother. There Is an odd streak In the Miller Jmily. Joaquin Miller has a brother J" Kastern Oregon known as "Cayuse," '"H and gaunt, who wears his light col 'ed hair on his shoulders tied near the cHer like a school girl's. He wears overall,,, jumper and broad brimmed ht, his overalls staffed In heavy boots, '"tened ith a belt at the top, a foot wide. n9 a a Uamster and stockman, years old, with wife and children ,n, his never had I.I. nllnr t.lr.n i - - - ever will.

Oo the Little Klickitat, near the point okkgon wnere it enters tbe Big Klickitat river. sevetal Goldendate men have recently filed mining claims. In the party are Messrs. Wm. Van Vactor, the Coopers, etc. The elder Cooper, who is miner of experience, in connection with Mr. Van Vactor, bave purchased a hydraulic outfit in Portland, which will arrive next week. It will be necessary to con struct about three miles of ditching, water being taken out of Bowman creek. Tests of the several claims have given very satisfactory returns, and as there is an abundance of gravel where their claims are located, we hope their venture will be profitable. Philip C. Cox, collection teller in Ladd & Tilton's bank, was drowned Thursday afternoon between Pennoyer's mill and the boat yard of tbe Portland Ship-building Company at Portland. Shortly after the bank closed, in com pany with the messenger boy of the in stitution, he proceeded to the swimming place. Immediately npon entering tbe water and swimming about 100 feet the young man was seized with a cramp and drowned without making an outcry or a struggle. After sinking beneath the waves tbe first time he did not come to the surface again, otherwise Professor Eiuil Theilhorn, who was watching oo the bank, may have suce.eeded.in res cuing him. Indians hunting on tbe east coast of Hudson's Bay have brought word to tbe Hudson Bay Company's post, on the west coast of James bay, that they found last spring a vast quantity of wreckage, tbe bodies of two men. and a man in tbe last stages of the death struggle. The Indians reported that they could not understand the lai.uage he spoke, but that it was not English He died while they were there, and they returned to the trading post with out bringing any evidence of the strange occurrence. It is believed by the offi ciais of the Hudson Bay Company that the Indians witnessed the ending of Andree's attempt to reach tho North Polo by balloon. They had never seen a balloon, but from their description of the wreckage, the officials are firmly convinced that it wag the remnants of Andree's airship. Monday's Daily.

Ihree liundreu acres were in sured. It may be of Interest to a number of housewives in the east end of the city lo know that Louie Comiui's goat was taken on a summer vacation to the c mntry yesterday, and will bronse dur ing the remainder of the heated term on sage brush instead of call a lillies and heliotropes.

It is not unlikely that if Major Conger lives and returns to the United States, he can go to the United States senate. The change from the American to the European plan made a few days ago in the Umatilla House dining room is meeting with the decided approval of the many patrons of that popular caravansory, and, as a matter of course, has resulted in people going there for their meals that hardly ever went be fore.

He had been a resident of The Dalles for nearly twenty years, where he followed the trade of painter, and for several years was senior mem ber of the firm of Kreft A Co., which was succeeded by the present firm of D. W. Vause A Co. About 1891 he wbb elected a councilman of the city, and on the death ot Mayor Rinehart was elect ed by the council to fill the enexpired term. Some six years ago he lost a daughter, a fine young girl of about 14 years, who was dragged to death by the family horse that she was driving to a cart. Those who knew Mr. Kreft well say the loss of his daughter produced a shock on tbe father from which he never re covered. It was a common saying among his friends that he was never the same man afterwards. For some two years or more he suffered from heart trouble, and the end was anticipated months ago both by himself and hia family. Paul Kreft was f n honorable, kind hearted man and a good citizen. He leaves to mourn his loss the wife, to whom he was married in 1878, and six children, three boys and three girls, the eldest of whom is aged 17 years.

John 1 arn.lt Give. III. lnire.lon ot the AlH.La Eldarario. Nome Crrv, Alaska, June 29, '00. To the EoiTOR--Ve landed here June 17th and have been enjoying pleasant weather so far, but the rainy t-oason is supposed to set in early in July. Tho steamer Rosecrans, which carries the government lumber and other materials is having hard luck. She wa9 stranded on the sand of the Yukon delta and had to throw overboard her coal and some of the other part of the cargo. She had to return to Dutch Harbor for more coal, where, we hear, she has run on the rocks. Ben Snipes arrived on the 23 1. He had a tiresome voyage of thirty-one days. This is a good country from more than one standpoint. In the first place it is a good country lor a man to stay away from if he expects to got money easily. In the second place there is plenty of gold here in the ground. There is also about twenty men for each claim. The beach has been very rich, but the beet has been worked out. It is impossible for a man to get a mining location until there are some new diggings discovered. There is one ship quarantined here, and about six or eight cases of smallpox. The water here is worse than any other that I know of. It is ice cold and clear as crystal before it is boiled. Then it turns red and has the taste of soap made of rotten eggs. This town is not a year old and has a population of over 35,000. If one wishes to see a fight at any time, all he has to do is to go out and look around a few minutes. It would seem that this place Is cer tainly doomed to burn. The buildings and houses are all wooden shells in close proximity, and the streets are only from twenty to thirty feet wide. A fire with a little start could not be controlled. John Pakkott. Ntnry of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease ia the worst form of slavery. George D. William, of Manchester, Mich., tells bow such a slave was made free. He says: "My wife has been so helpless tor five years that Bhe could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, sheis wonderfully improved and able to do her own work."
