Chicago is not only the greatest cattle,
sheep and hog market in the world, but
it now leads all creation as a horse
market. During the nine full months

horees were received and sold there,

30,000.

Judge Bradshaw denied a petition for

$200. Cavalry horses from 900 to 1200
pounds cost the government from $90 to
$IliO each.

"How do you like Oregon ?" was asked
the other day by Mrs. Eliza Vickers of
the five-year-old daughter of George
Denton who, with his wife and little
ones, arrived here a few days ago from
Iowa and are stopping with Mrs. Vickers
while the head of the house looks out
for a location. "How do I like Organ?"
answered the five-year old, to whom
Oregon was apparently not yet familiar.
"Yes, yes, how do you like it?" "I
don't like it at all," was the reply. "I
like a piano lots better."
On the 24ih instant County Clerk
Butler, of Wheeler county, recorded a
satisfaction of mortgage from Eugene
Looney to E. E. Allen and wife for $54,-
274, says the Fossil Journal. The mort
gage was given by Mr. Allen to Mr.
Looney in June, 1808, when he pur
chased 8759 sheop and Mr. I.ooney's fine
sheep plant and range near Mitchell.
It was a time sale, and few people
thought Mr. Allen could ever pay out,
with such a load of debt ; but the sbeep
business, rightly managed, in republi
can times, is a profitable one, and Mr.
Allen was prepartd to make every pay
ment before it became due, and now,
through selling a half interest in the
property to J. ll. Oakes, of Mitchell, is
enabled to take np the last note, which
was not dae until July, 1W4.
The county clerk spoiled a fine item
this morning. iIr. I. N. Sargent bad
called on the county treasurer to have
some warrants redeemed, among which
was one for $15, issued July 16, 1896.
Mr. Hampshire at once detected that
this particular warrant had been raised
from $5 to $15, and in an apparently
clumsy manner at that. There was no
mistake about it, A figure 1 had been
written before the figure 5, while the
ritten "Five" had been scratched and
the necessary letters inserted to make it

took to his heels and fled down the rail

At the Salem rily election Mondiiy the
republicans were beaten by the citizens
by a majirity of M. The council will
stand four republicans to four democrats
and populists and a republican mayor,
of fraud. The treasurer rushed with it
to the clerk's office, accompanied by the
inevitable and ubiquitous newspaper
fiend, onlyto find that tho warrant was
entered on the register for f 15 and had
evidently been raised by the drawer at
the time ii was issued. So the indict
ment for forgery, that for a moment
loomed up portentiously, was summarily
dismissed.

The case of D. C. O'Reilly against the
Columbia Southern Railway, E. E. Ly
tle and others is not ended as was sup
posed when Judge Bradshaw, at Moro,
Tuesday, refused a petition for a re-bearing.
On the contrary, O'Reilly prompt
ly renewed the suit in tho Multnomah
circuit court, asking for the recovery to
the company of some $130,000, which
he claims Lytle and bis associates se
cured fraudulently and, incidentally,
asking for the appointment of a receiver
to look after the affairs of the company
and keep it from going to ruin, as be
sets forth in the complaint.
Acting Marshal J. II. Jackson did a
most effective job of street cleaning this
morning, at the suggestion of D. M.
French, Procuring sufficient lengths of
hose from the fire department he
washed the mud off Second street for
the entire block between Washington
and Federal, leaving the street as clean
as anew pin. It was the old principle
of hydraulic mining illustrated and for
the mere nominal cost of two or three
dol'ara and avery few hours' time far
moro was accomplished than could
have been effected by brooms and shovels

The honor of christening the republi
can party is adjudged bv Charles M.
Harvey, in hii history of that organiia
Hon, to Alvin E. Bovay, now living in

Bovay to Horace (ireeley at a dinner in
New York during tho national Whig
convention of 185:!, when both unavail-
Huott, of Eight Mile, settled on Alkali
Flat in 1863, and from that place Frank
Huott got the name he is still known by,
Alkali Frank. They were bachelors and
partners in business and their house was
for some years an important way station
on the main road between The Dalles
and Canyon City. At length both got
tired of baching and mutually vowed
that one of them must hunt a wife, but
as to which of them should put his neck
in the matrimonial yoke they could not
agree. It was finally agreed that the
matter in controversy should be settled
by a game of seven-up, the loser to leave
forthwith and not return till he brought
s wife with him. Mr. Meyer lost the
game but was the real winner notwith
standing. He kept his contract, left
forthwith for San Francisco and in no
long time returned with the motherly,
kindly lady that has shared his joys and
sorrows for a generation of time.
The Pacific Farmer says': "One of
the finest orchards in the Mosier district
is that of George Sellinger, consisting
of twenty-two acres, fourteen in bearing,
six acres of which are in Italian prunes,
seven years old. About forty tons were
sold to the Smead company, besides
many tons went to waste. The price ob
tained for the prunes was $15 per ton.
The fine large apple crop is mostly of
Baldwins, Ben Davis, Pippins, Swaar
and Spitenbergs, the latter remarkably
large and fine. From one acre of peach
plums, Mr. S. shipped 2000 boxes, sell
ing them at an average of 40 cents, and
netting 18 cent per box. Forty acres
in broom corn, new venture for this
section of the country, yielded eight
tons of prepared stock, besides 800
bushels of seed, which bis horses, cattle
and pciltry eat readily and flourish
thereon. He also raised patch of

times in a season for forage, and pro

Speaking of Professor Meakin, who
lectures at the Baldwin Monday night
for the Woodmen of the World, this
week's Skamania County Pioneer says:
Seldom, if ever, have we heard such a
lecture as was given by Prof. H. P.
Meakin, head camp lecturer for the
Woodmen of the World. Mr. Meakin
does not tire an audience by quoting a
whole list of figures and running down
other orders. For lack of space we
cannot go into detail, but will say to
those who have not heard him, that if it
is possible to hear him, don't miss the
chance and you will have something
impressed upon your mind that you will
not forget soon.
We find the following gem going the
rounds of the press, without credit:
"Remember this, young man, be careful
what you say about a woman's charac
ter. Think how many years she has
been building it, of the toils and priva
tions endured, of wounds received, and
lot no suspicion follow her actions. The
purity of a woman is the salvation of
the race, the hope of greatness and the
redemption of man. Wipe out her pur
ity and the man sinks beneath the wave
of despair, without a star to guide bis
life into the channel of safety. Think,
then, before you speak, and temember
that any hog can root np the fairest
flower that ever grew ; so the vilest man
can ruin the purest woman's character."
