The report that there were a number of large cougar terrifying the people in the vicinity of Yunkton and Bachelor Flat has recoived all necessary confirma tion. Last Saturday evening Messrs. BwiUcr and Salter were eugaged in con versation near the front yard of the home of the latter, at Bachelor Flat, when large oongar was espied on a log, quite near the bouae. Mr. ealser ran in the house, got a gun and tired two or three times at the animal, but without bagging it. The next day several sports wen . were in that vicinity with dogs, but they were unsuccessful la their ef fort to capture the cougar, .Not until thl week were we able to learn any of the facts of an unfortunate affair which took place in Kaleo on March 26th, In which a focmer resident of thia county wa thrown unintention ally in bad light.' E. I). McKay, bet :ier known a "Mudge" McKay, struck man named Victor Carlson, with his fiat, on the forehead, and Carlson died a few hours Inter. Carlson was drunk, and had been following McKay around II day, abusing and .attempting to tight -him,, McKay all -the time endeavoring to void him, 'until finally he was where he could not avoid Carlson any logger. The blow delivered bv McKay was not a bard one, but it knocked Carlson to the floor, and he soon after died ol concus sion of the brain. McKay never at tempted to leave Caatlerock, and when the coroner's jury sat to pass judgment upon the iifl'air, they found from tile ev idence produced that McKay "hit the roiiiMu M'it (1rfine, with no' intent to nuttier or inflict great bod dy injury."

The water I probably charged wun some aina or mineral or metal which itliren it and prevents the stream from doubling up in ascending the hill, or perhaps Mr, Moeck wa romancing.

He was told that if he wanted the horse he could send up the mules and -keep the horse, and It would bo all right. A day or two after he went out to find hia horse and came across the carcass, which had been dead for weeks and was nearly eaten up by crows. As a bargain was a bargain and his bargain had been unconditional, he had no fault to find and made no complaint, but the man who had received the mules, learn ing of the facts in the case when he came to settle hi bill for pasturage, added (fiO to the amount and made the matter square. There are not many honedealer who would have thought of doing this. People of the Upper Columbia region re predicting an unusually high water thi senson, as the conditions so far have been favorable for an inundation. The spring haa been cold, March being a veiyeald month, and the river at The Dalles is much lower at this time of the year than usual, which Is an indication that the snow hss not yet begun to melt in the upper country, and if the weather should continue cool for while longer and then auddenly grow warm and cause the snow to melt in a short time, there is no doubt that big flood will come.

Vaanoiru, April 7.-(To tub Edik).) -1 have heard so inuuli talk for so long a time about roads, bad hills and mud hole that I am about to essay upon the suujeoi uiyneii. Aa it rain so much here It is hard to make good roada. still. there 1 no good reaaon why they are not more passable than they are. In the first place many hills could be avoided and the roada could be made straigiiter and shorter. Thl alone would nave many hard pull. In the second place there are the Innumerable mud hole to contend with. I would recommend rook and .gravel for auch places. Both gravel and atone can be obtained along a greater part of our roads, but it require work and time, with good judgment and some experi ence to make good road any place. Let us take fair look at our roads and see bow they are patched no. In the ruta you will find poles laid lengthwise with loot dirt thrown over them, and in the mud holes you will find chunks of bark, large Or knot, brush and moat anything that can be obtained easy to make it look better. In the third place, if you should drive over many of our roaii you will find large root in the wheel track, so large that the tongue of the wagon will lash a horse back and forth an the wheel pasttc over them, and you will see loss sawed off so that the ends almost scrape the wagon box a tne vehicle passes, or the hubs strike the protruding obstacle. Thi ha been o for years. In many placea tree stand so near the wagon tracks that great holes have been worn in their bodies by the wagon bubs, and no effort bas been made to widen the track. Good road work should talk tome for Itself, and if well done will be a recommend for the man, andaome inducement to vote for him again. About cross-lavs. I find some on the roads that are neither laid nor let alone, and it ia so rouzh that a horse can scarcely walk, lay nothing of pulling a load. We cannot blame all the road boase because they have not been where good road exist, but tome have, aud still all these fact stare the public in the face. Hoping our roads will receive more attention in future, I am ever, Good Koapkb. Subscribe for Tua Mibt.
