OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COurtTY
News Summary.
Marion county Prohibitionists have nom
inated a full county ticket.
The telegraph wires have reached Eagle,
Cceur d'Alene mining district.
The material for the new Court House at
Oregon City, is nearly all upon the grounds.
At the last meeting of the Eugene City
Council the Marshal's salary was raised to
$660 per annum.
The Anti-Monopolists of Washington
county have placed a full county and legis
lative ticket in the lield.
East Portland' new city directory shows
that the town contains 1142 "adult males.'
This indicates a population of 6000.
A Portland lawyer recently caught a 32
pound salmon at Oregon City, using a spoon
bait. He was an hour in landing the fish.
The Temperance Alliance at Oakville will
give a picnic on the 31st of this month. A
general invitation is extended to all to be
present.
Eastern Oregon people have been swin
dled by eastern nurserymen. Some
who will patronize as a practice strangers,
instead of fellow citizens, deserve being
.swindled.
The Seattle Chronicle learns that there
have been several cases in North Seattle in
the past week of a malignant disease known
s "black measles." In one family, that of
Mr. Wells, two young daughters are now
very low with it, with grave fears for their
Jives.
Says the Walla Journal: Flour manu
facturing in this region is practically shut
down for the present. A few mills run
spasmodically. There is no export demand
and the millers are cutting for local trade.
The jobbing price per barrel is now $3.25.
The retail price is $4.
The through rate on wool in sacks from
all points on the main line of the Northern
Pacific in Washington Territory to Phila
delphia and other Eastern cities has been
reduced to $3.82 per 100 lbs. when shipped
in car loads of 12,000 lbs. and over, and
$3.30 in lots of less than 12,000 lbs.
Some idea of the rapid growth of the
country lying on the east side of the Sound
-and north of Seattle, says the Fost, may be
gathered from the statement that the aver
age mail per week sent north runs about
sixty sacks. Every day, almost, valuable
immigration passes into t hat country.
Rev. D. M. Cave, near here, left Sheridan
Oregon, last Monday for the States, for the
purpose of looking after an estate in Eng
land valued at $80,000,000 which has been
in chancery in London for thirty years.
There are fourteen heirs to be represented.
A very wealthy man has offered to secure
the amount due them for one-half the entire
legacy.
Of the finances of Crook county, Oregon,
the News says: Our county is clear of all
indebtedness, about $5000 in the treasury,
, and county warrants worth their face in
gold. By the investigation and report of
the Grand Jury it appears that the records
and all the books of the county officers are
exactly correct," and in the case of the
Treasurer, there was $10 more in the treas
ory than all the books and returns called
for. There is no county poor, and we feel
that it is a just cause for congratulation that
a county with the population that Crook
county contains nas not a single pauper
within its limits.
won. ij. r . moaner ot ftosebnrg, on
Wednesday of last week received notice of
having been appointed by C. A. Arthur,
president ot tne united states, as a mem
ber of the boaid of visitors to the military
academy at west roint. mis board 13
composed of seven persons appointed by
the president, and five by the presiding
officers of congress. Their duty is to en
quire into the actual discipline, police ad
ministration, fiscal affairs and other con
cerns of the institution and report to the
secretary of war. The appointment is
made in honor of the services of Judge
Mosher in the Mexican war, he being
a Mexican veteran.
Overhauling some musty records, says
the Baker City Tribune, pertaining to this
county within the past few days we fonnd
that the miserable shell, called a court
house, hardly fit for a horse stable, has cost
this county for its construction, including
interest on the warrants drawn in payment
for the same, a little over $10,000: that
there are still two outstanding warrants on
that account; and that the last warrant
therefor redeemed called for $100 principal
and $121 interest. Is not an accurate finan
cial exhibit of the county and a change in
its management necessary?
Sea otter hunters at Gray's Harbor report
excellent luck this season. Harry With
erall, one of the best and oldest otter hunt
ers, has gone this summer to try his luck
on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The
otter usually weighs from seventy to eighty
pounds, and is about the size of a large
mastiff, It has no legs forward, however,
like a deg, but has flippers in their place.
When in full season the fur is of a fine,
glossy black. One was killed from a
canoe by an Indian in April, which brought
$100, and was a very fine one. The prices
range from $50 to $100 each, about $75 be
ing the usual price at this time. It is sel
dom they are killed from a canoe now, al
though formerly they killed them in this
manner.
Says the Hillsboro Independent: August
Zitter, a German youth aged 14 years, a
nephew of Mr. Keller, who lives across the
Tualatin, started afoot last Wednesday
morning for Omaha. That boy has lots of
courage, and if he makes the trip ought to
have his phiz in the illustrated papers.
The Grand jury brought in a true bill
recently against L. C. Campbell, of Garfield
Co., W. T., charged with sending obscene
and indecent matter through the U. S.
Mails. Campbell pleaded euilty and was
libeiated on the payment of $100 and costs,
True bills were recently found against
four Walla Walla saloon men, by the Grand
Jury, for selling beer to minors, says the
Journal. The complaints were signed by
nine youns lads, the offspring of families
holding his;h social position.
Cheering reports about the fruit and
grain crops come trom all directions, mo
better season was ever known. All sorts of
early vegetables are in the market, and
strawberries have already begun to make
their appearance.
The Methodists of Seattle are to build a
"Dillon" chapel to, cost $2500. A $50,000
brick church will probably be commenced
by the same denomination next year. The
naming of the above after an old Albany
preacher is quite an honor and a deserved
one.
Writing of the shipment of salmon from
The Dalles, the Sun says: This is the first
carload of fresh fish ever sent across the
continent. The car left here with a tem
perature of 20 degrees, ' and if it maintains a
temperature of 30 degrees and under, it
must go through safely to its destination
The road from Marshfield to the Coquille
river will be built tbis summer. Two
steamers of 1200 tons burden have been
completed and will sail tor ban Francisco in
few days. These steamers cost about
100,000 each, and are for passenger and
freight traffic. They will be put on the San
Francisco route from Coos bay.
At Pine valley. Eastern Oregon, says the
Union Sentinel, salmon have commenced
running, that is as far up as the first trap
across Pine creek, but none get any further
than the fourth trap and dam which is
about two miles from the lower end of the
valley, and 1 understand they caught three
hundred and twenty jn one night.
Arrangements are being made at Portland
for extensive shipments of salmon to the
large cities of the East, and several refrige
rator cars have been constructed for the
purpose. They reach New York it
days, and the salmon, when taken from the
ice, look as bright and nice as those in Port
land markets.
Recording the work ot the Grand Jury,
the Prineville, Oregon, Ntws says: There
m
was only one criminal case to be considered,
namely, thatof State vs. Wm. Thompson
for the killing of Frank Mogan last Decem
ber, and in this, after due and thorough in
vesication, the iury returned not a true
bill. Mr. Thompson now stands free and
exonerated by the decision of a jury of up
right, moraljaml intelligent men.
People along the Northern Pacific rail
road in Montana hope to get a water supply
from artesian wells. At Miles City water
has been found at a depth of 341 feet; at
Billings, 150 miles further up the Yellow
stone, a well has been sunk without success.
and is still coins down, and at Helena
there is more experimental boring.
Lieut. Fred. Schwatkt, who has been
serving on Brigadier-General Miles' staff, at
Vancouver. W. T., for some time, has re
cently obtained a transfer his own regi
ment, which is the laird Uavalry now do
ing duty in Arizona. It is understood that
the Lieutenant will soon leave to carry out
the object of this transfer.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company
is now organizing two parties, one to go to
Umatilla county, and the other to go to
Yakima county, for the purpose of grading
the Northern Pacific railroad lands, pre
paratory to placing them on the market
It is expected that the parties will leave
Walla Walla the latter part of the week

EDITED BY THE W. C. T. TJ.
Frets Department of tne W. c. T. TJ.
Our State superintendent has kindly
given us a few lines regarding the press
work. At one of our recent meetings we
had a Bible reading referring especially to
her work. One would perhaps imagine it
rather secular subject to deduct a Bible
reading from, but those present at the
meeting were greatly edified by the most
interesting and instructive lesson which Our
State Supt. gave us, and it more than ever
proved to us that all our work was Gospel
work, that every department was rooted in
Christ. In regard to our local press work,
it is our humble endeavor to offer to the
public such thoughts as we believe to be
truths; such thoughts as we may gather
from reliable sources, which shall be of
general interest and which will perhaps
'arrest the thought" of some and make
them see more clearly their own duty, the
demand of the age and to warn them to
greater loyalty to God.
L. A. H., Local Supt.
Psalm 68, 11; The Lord gave the word.
Great was the company for army margin
of those that published it. An old com
mentator says "it is a singular fact that the
word 'published' is rendered in the origin
al 'feminine,' alluding to women joining in
the songs of praise after victory Ex. 15, 1;
Jud. 5;" God in is wisdom chose Ezra
His scribe and interpreter just when the
Hebrew language was becoming corrupt or
fortrotten. and to preserve His written
oracles for us. Now when whole peoples
seem likely to degenerate nd become
Nations of drunkards, God in his wisdom
put it into ihe hearts of the W. C. T. U
women to try and "noid tne ion ior
temperance in the many newspapers of the
land, and into the hearts of their editors to
permit and even welcome their writings.
There are about ten thousand papers pub
lished in the United States and it is the
aim of the W. C. T. U. to say a word for
temperance in each and all. The superin
tendent of press work of the National
Union is Mrs. Esther Housh who wields an
able pen herself. She brings out a monthly
called "Women at Work," a most capti
vating magazine, and sends her "Round
Robin" of interesting temperance items to
her staff of State Press Superintendents
every few weeks. These in their turn
communicate with every local W. C. T. U.
where there is a newspaper published, and
encourage local work. Where there are
newspapers and no Union the State Supt.
begs admission on her own account. Her
endeavor and prayer is that that which is
written should not only be "acceptable
words" but should likewise be upright,
even words of truth, like goods, and as nails
fastened by the masters of assemblies, given
from our Shepherd. Ecclesiastes 12, 10, 11

the river were somewhat puzzled, last
Tuesday to see a coal oil can coming down
the river at a rapid rate, says the Ellens
burs,- Oregon, Post. Although there was
no current in the river, the can
them at a rate that would have distanced
Maplewood. The mystery was explained
when it was learned that a seal had been
caught, and the can made fast to it, at -the

His nomination is met favorably by both

A son of Dr. Ballard, of Lebanon, Oregon
aged eighteen years, was shot in the leg
Sunday accidentally, sustaining a very
painful flesh wound. He was out in the
brush with some companions and one
them discharged a revolver which sent
ball through young Ballard's leg, two inches
above the knee cutting away the flesh, but
not producing necessarily a dangerous
wound.
A terrible shooting affray occurred
Harney Valley, Oregon, on Sunday, May
John Bland and Horace H. Mace met in
the saloon of Smelser & McCamley and im
mediately commencedjshooting. They ad
vanced until they almost touched and each
emptied every chamber of his revolver into
the other. Both men fell dead, Bland out
in the street and Mace on the saloon porch.
F. L. Mace, brother of Horace, was also
shot, supposed to be accidently. It is not
now known whether he will live or not.
The trouble originated at a ball some time
ago, when it was claimed Bland insulted
Mace's wife. Both men bore excellent
characters and were natives of Southern
Oregon.

There is a slight improvement reported in
the run of salmon this week, says the
Astorian, but the fish are not up to the
usual size, averaging about fifteen cans to
the fish. The pack is considerably behind
that .of the corresponding date last season,
but as two busy days in June or July would
make a difference of several thousand cases
it is too early to predicate anything in re
lation to the outcome.
Every man must sleep according to his
temperament. Eight hours is the average.
If a man requires a little more or less, he
will find it out for himself. Whoever by
work, pleasure, sorrow, or by any other
cause, is regularly diminishing his sleep, is
destroying his life. A man may hold out
for a time, but nature keeps close accounts
and no man can deceive her.
Among the mining discoveries of last
year, probably not tiie least important was
that of what seems to be extensive beds of
mica in the mountains near Bear creek,
Potlatch country, says the Walla Walla
Journal. The Woody mine has been most
worked and shows large amounts of mica'
of good size and fine quality. The pro
prietors have arranged to put on thirty men
at once, running them night and day in
three eight-hour shifts. The other claims
have been hardly tested, but nearly all
promise well. The mineral shipped out
has brought an0 average of $3.50 per lb.
Several Walla Wallans have interest in
these mica mines.
A correspondent writing from Lafayette
to the McMinnville Reporter says, I have
just heard that Robert Shook of West
Chehalem is missing, since last Thursday.
It seems that he went out in the morning,
telling his boys that he would be back by
noon, and to have dinner ready for him,
since which time he has not been seen. He
took nothing with him except a bottle of
something that the boys supposed to be
liquor, but do not know what it was. Some
fear he has killed himself. They are mak
ing a strict search. The correspondent adds:
Since writing the above we have learned
further about the missing man, Shook.
W. D. Fenton received by mail to-day a
letter from Eugene, stating that a man
named R. S. Shook had suicided at or near
a place called Cresswell, fifteen miles from
Eugene, by taking an overdose of morphine.
Coroner Osborn of that county sent to Mr.
Fenton a memorandum book found on the
body of the deceased. On one of the leaves
was written, "Send this to my son, Walter
Shook, at West Chehalem." The book
contained two or three promissory notes,
all canceled, one of them by D. I. Corker,
of this place. Mr. C. also recognizes the
book; so there can be no mistake. The
coroner stated that the deceased had been
decently buried. Word was sent to his
children this afternoon. No one knows how
he got to Cresswell, or why he committed
I the deed.

FARMERS, ATT
Horn's ImDroved Wire Fence Lock.
To Farmers and those who have been annoyed fcy having fences blown down, floating
away, or thrown over by breachy stock.
A Fence has. been secured which puts an end to all such trouble. A wire lock has been invented, which
when attached to a fence, secures it against the most breachy animals,
EXPLANATION: When a rail fence is properly built, hying the worm 3 1-2 feet wide, and taking pains
to lay the rails up firm and square, then attach the lock and you nave a fence that will turn the breachiest
animals. As to its merits, it is strong and durable a single rail cannot be moved out of place. It require
no stakes, posts or riders, and in addition to this it is the cheapest, fence that can be built with rails; it saves
from 96 to $10 on a hundred panels of fence, and you have a stronger and better fence.
The same rails required to build 100 panels of stake and rider fence will build 125 panels of this fence by
uing- HORN'S WIRE LOCK. No stakes are in the way of moving fence comers, heaving out by frost, or
rotting off, thereby letting fence down or stock in your fields to destroy the crop. This fence is braced in
every direction, whether up hill, down hill or side hill, and locked with a lever so strong that nw thing short
of a tornado will move a rail. Stock on either side can not possibly move the top rail. This wire lock was
patented April 11, 1882 numbered 256,433. G. A. HORN, Patentee.
Farmers, vour fencing costs more than all other improvements on your farm combined. Look to
this important Interest. TJ For further information, enquire of owner of State Right,
