Geonre Anderson, well known here.
returned to this city last Saturday after
an unsuccessful attempt to reach Buffalo
flump. In Idaho, ueorge aays there is
40 feet of snow In the mountains near
the headwater of Snake river, and while
it is rain ns here It Is snowing up more,
and on account of tbe immense quantity
he did not care to go into tne mining
regions. Pretty good indication, too, of
high water.
Forecaster Pasue states that there is
nifllcient snow in the mountains to cause
a flood of the larger rivers should a per
iod ot warm weather settle down in the
near future. If there are alternate cold
and wann spells there is leas possibility
of a flood, hut at this late season there
la loss possibility of such alternate cold
and warm weather. It may now be ex
pected that when warm weather arrive
It will remain with ui.

It ia felt by ths farmers in that locality
that the grass may prove of value.
Much dissatisfaction Is expressed by
sportsmen throughout the state regard
ing ths late game law. The open season
for pheasant, which haa formerly been
in September and at a time when they
could be most conveniently hunted by
both country and city sportsmen ia now
placed in the month of November, when
the fall raiu will Interfere in such a
manner that It will be impossible to
hunt them. As a protector of the bird
it I a wise measure in every particular.

PALOUSC BAUDS ACCIDENT.
The Whitney Brothers Oapslaed sod
Drowned In Snake River.
The following article taken from the
Starbuck (Wahh.) Signal is probably as
correct account of the drowning of the
Whitney boys as it will ever be possible
to get. Ths articls I taken from that
paper issued on the tttth of laat month :
AAt about 10 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing Elmer and Bert Whitney, brother,
were drowned in Snake river. They
were both experienced raftsmen and had
been rafting bridge timber for D. A.
Cameron, the bridge contractor for ths
Snake Klver Valley Railroad. At ths
time of the accident they were shooting
the rapids, when in some unaccountable
manner the boat capsized.
one, disappeared almost instantly, but
the other, being stronger, managed to
hold up for nearly a mile below the point
where the canoe capatsed, but owing to
the power of ths current, waa unsble to
reach the shore, finally sinking. His
yelli alarmed parties at Lyon'i ferry,
who started out with a boat to hit res
cue, but be disappeared before they got
lar out.
'The Whitney brothers were both
men of excellent character. 'They were
so different from the ordinary run of
railroad men,' said D. A. Cameron, their
employer, 'that I feel their low corely.
They were both men in whom I placed
Implicit trust. Of course, there I no
certainty as to just how the accident
happened, but 1 believe, that, knowing
how I trusted them to do their work.
they were too daring while I waa away
at Spokane. I have often told them that
while I would not like to lose the tim
ber, their live were too valuable to take
any chances.' "
It ha since been learned that both
the boy swam lor nearly mil before
either of them sank.
Don't be a "Knocker."
If there' any chance to boom business.
boom it. Don't be a "knocker." Don't
pull a long lace and look as though you
had a sour stomach. Hold up your
head, smile and hope tor better things.
Hide your tittle hammer and try to
speak well ol others, no matter how
mall you may really know yourself to
be. When a stranger drops in, jolly
him. Tell him this is the greatest town
on earth and it is. Don't discourage
him by apeaking ill of your neighbors or
of opposing firm. Lead him to believe
that be haa at last struck a place where
white people live. Don't "knock." Help
yourself along by becoming popular, and
push your friend with you. It' dead
easy. Be a good fellow, and soon you
will have a procession ol followers. No
man ever helped himself by "knocking"
other people down in character or busi
ness. No man ever got rich by trying to
make others believe he wai the only
man in town or the only man who knew
anvthing. Yon can't climb the ladder
ot success by treading on other people'
corn. Keep oil the corn ana aon i
knock." Milton Eagle.
District Attorney Cleeton returned
from Astoria Tuesday morning, where
be went to attend circuit court. Mr.
Cleeton was in Astoria two day before
the judge arrived, and during that time
proceeded with the work oi tne grana
jury, not under the old system, however,
and when the court arrived there were
three Indictment ready to be acted
upon, in all of which conviction and sen
tence to ths penitentiary were had. It
would have undoubtedly taken a grand
jury at least five days to accomplish
wnai rr. Vyieeion uiu in iwo umjm, wr
ing perhaps 1160 to the county, with
just as good results. Grand juries in
future will undoubtedly be few and far
between.
The Question of bow to profitably pro
duce our home supply of bacon and
hams is one of great importance in the
Pacific Northwest. At one time when
wheat was extremely low in price we In
creased rapidly our production of hogs,
but lor the last two or three years tne
import of pork product to the North
west appear to be increasing. Many
farmers in this region know how to raise
hog in small numbers with profit. It
has been clearly demonstrated that there
ia money in raisiug hog, and more
should be raised. We have no doubt
that the time will come very soon when
tbe Northwest will not only produce all
the bacon and hams for home consump
tion but it will also market a large quan
tity elsewhere. The quality ol that
product here la good.
The grand parade in Portland on Tuea-
Amv kv tha ULrliimn nf tha World fnllv
met all the expectations that nao oeeu i
raised in regard to it. -it was iea dj we
G. A. R. Carriages were in the proces
sion In which were tbe governor of our
state, Mayor Storey of Portland, Gen.
Beebe and other eminent civil and mili
tary dignities. The procession passed
through tbe principal streets, orosaed
rjurnaiae street uriugs, i k nwr
ieon street bridge and on to Sixth street,
where it was reviewed by the governor.
The memorial concert at the armory in
the evening was eqnally a success.
Among feature of special note was tbe
invocation by Bev. Henry Rasmus, of
Grace M. E. church ; the presentation of
the golden key of the city and the ac
ceptance and response by F. A. Falken-
erg. oi uenver, tne neaa consul now-
dres by Governor Geerj musio by the
First Regiment band, and the benedic
tion by Rev. Geo. B. Van Waters, of
Saint David'i Episcopal church.
There seem to be a very general im
nrenion that the present weather 1 not
all that it should be. People are heard
to murmer and even complain, and cases
are actually on record where profanity
has been used to an alarming extent.
Just why a protracted spring should
cause such outspoken dissatisfaction is
hard to understand. All poets agree
that spring i the most delightful time
of year. The patter of the rain drops
on the roof is more enchanting than var
iety theater harmony, and that the
bursting bud and cleaving cones that
burst and cleave only at the kiai of the
cadent tear from heaven are sights which
it is a privilege to behold. Yesl No
one needs to buy Ice now. Tbe children
do not clamor for money to buy tickets
to Sunday school picnics. Taxpayers do
not groan at the expense of sprinkling
tbe streets. Young men with girls are
saved the expense of ice cream soda.
And yet, with all these blessings people
will complain. There 1 no accounting
for public taste.
