It is reported that about 150 miles north
of Missoula, M. T., a tegion has been dis
covered by an exploring party in which are
twenty-two cascades over 500 feet in height,
and a true glacier with a mile frontage and
500 feet fall. It issaid to be a more won
derful region than the Yellowstone.
Says the Albany Herald: Strawberi'es
that weigh over an ounce and measure 51
inches around are not often seen in any
country, but we were shown some raised in
tlrs city a few days since and on vines that
were set out last fall at that.
The first of the week, says the Democrat,
Bert Scott and another boy were hunting
near this city, the latter having killed a
bird, when Iiert requested to be allowed to
shoot. The gun wos a double barreled shot
gun, both triggers of which Bert pulled
giving the gun a chance to do some heavy
kicking, which it did. In the course of its
backward act:on the liairmera struck Bert
on the upper lip, tearing itself through into
his mouth, knocking out several teeth. The
wound was properly dressed, and the victim
of the accident is doing we'l.
Some people think that most of the finan
cial embarrasment occurring, as well as the
changing of business occurs here in the
Willamette Valley. As a matter of fact
there is no comparison between this Valley
and Washington Territory. The Com
mercial Reporter publishes each week a list
of failures, compromises and sales, and
most of them, excepting those in Portland
.are in Washington Territory cities.
The Eagle, published iu the Coeur d'Alene
mining camp, gives an indication of what
is going oil there when it says there are
more men around town indulging in the
luxurious but not lucrative employment of
n joying sun baths and holding dotva side
walks than we like to see. These men
should remember that our seasons are short
and that they should get out when the hills
are clear of snow, if they expect to strike it
rich. Now is the time for prospecting.
The Oriental Lodge of Free Masons has
decided to proceed against Senator Sharon,
General Barnes and others connected with
the exhumation of the body of Anson G.
Oliver in the Masonic cemetery, in order to
obtain testimony in the Sharon-Hill divorce
case. The lodge claims the act was un
justifiable, and that the health officer ex
ceeded his duties in doing what was not
subserving any public end toward the pres
ervation of public health.
With all the fault usually found w Ith the
newspapers of the country they generally
keep abreast of all moving things. The
condition of the local press is the index of
the character and prosperity of the locality
in which published. Flourishing towns
have flourishing newspapers and vice versa.
A rusty church, a windowless school house
and shabby newspapers are sure and certain
evidences of decay; a half starved preacher
an uii icrpaiil and illiterate school teacher
anil a haggard, ragged and hollow-eyed
editor are three ravens that croak over the
corpse of a dead town.
Last Friday afternoon, says the Albany
Democrat, the pastors of the churches iu
Albany, instituted a pastors' meeting, the
first of which they held on that day at the
Congregational Church. The only ones al
lowed to be present were the ministers of
the city, theii wives, and two ladies from
each church, the latter ones, as a qualifica
tion, being obliged to know something of
the art of cooking. The afternoon was
spent in such manner as to unite the min
isters in a common purpose for good, and
bind them closer together ill their strife
against sin so that they Can fight it more
effectively.
Utah is pouring her surplus population
into the, Upper Snake Rivei valley, and the
new settlers are settling dowe wherever a
running stream is met. Hundreds of
wagons have already arrived, and train men
tell us that at least a thousand more are on
the southern road. Rexburg, Egin and
Pool's Hand are getting the lion's share,
hut the new settlers are by no means con
fined to these. A new town has been laid
off on Sand creek, just cast of Eagle Rock,
and all the land along that spring freshet
stream has, we are told, been taken up.
Last Wednesday, sa3s the Albany Dem
ocrat, the People of Scio were homtied by
the finding of the body of Andrew Miller,
near that place, lying dead, on the hill going
down from Williams' mill, with a mark on
his temple. It is thought that while at
tempting to put on the break on his lumber
wagon, it broke, and he was thrown to the
ground, under the wheels, and killed in
stantly. He was a very worthy citizen,
about forty-five years of age, and leaves a
family.
Sheep shearing is at an end and the
many bands of sheep owned in Jackson
county have been driven to summer ranges
elsewhere.
Thos. H. Weedon of Tide Lake, Klamath
county, who killed Jared Larkiu several
months since, was indicted by the last
Grand Jury for murder in the first degree.
The Eugene public schools closed last
Friday. The average daily attendance for
the whole year was 277; whole number en
rolled, 526. The scarlet fever has made
telling inroads upon the school children,
compelling many to remain away during its
prevalence,
The expense for the keeping of the worth
less vagabonds and drunkards in the Walla
Walla jail amounts up to such a figure that
Judge Taylor Jhas taken a new departure
and will hereafter either sentence those con
victed to hard work on the public thorough
fares or to a diet of bread and waver.
Just awe are anticipating lusc'ous feasts
of strawberries smothered in cream, comes
Prof. Greenoagh, of Tennessee, with the
discovery of a worm in the very heart of the
fruit; a worm entirely new to entomological
science. It is an eighth of an inch in
length, and its body is covered with hair.
And yet we must commend its good taste in
selecting the strawberry for its brief refuge.
Writing frctu Airlie to the McMinnville
Reporter, a correspondent says: Airl'e is
situated at a convenient point in a good
grain growing district but seems to have
but little vitality. The store, whisky shop
and postoffice are dead and there is nothing
to enliven the scene except the arrival each
evening and departure each morninc of the
narrow guae train.
Writing of the hop outlook the Seattle
Chronicle s.ays: The SnoquaTinie hop ranch
from all accounts appears determined to
wipe out the bad record of last year. There
are about 290 acres under cultivation which
experienced hop growers say will go from
1200 to 2200 pounds per acre, and will be
ready for harvesting at least a fornight be
fore the usual time.
The Central Pacific Railroad Company
have issued orders to the superintendent of
the Carbonado miues, which they own, to
make preparations so as to be able to in
crease the output to 1000 tons per da3'.
The company now receive from 14,000 to
19,000 tons of coal per month from these
mines, but it seems that even this amount
is insufficient to supply the demand. It is
safe to say that inside of two years Tacoma
will ship at least 3000 tons of coal per day
the year around.
The Chico Record says there is a dispute
about who shall get the reward of $600 of
fered for the arrest and conviction of each of
the Shasta stage robbers, or 1200 for both.
The Marshal at Red Bluff was instrumental
in causing the arrest and so was Ofiicer
Colford of Marysville, and the pawn-broker
who furnished important information. The
latter individual modestly put in a claim
for the entire reward, for the arrest of
Williams.
Oswego, Oregon, icminds one. of Gold
smith's deserted village. Tho iron works
that a few weeks ago were teeming with
life and energy are now almost as still as
the grave, the onlv thing to relieve the
almost death-like-stilluess being the arrival
of an occasional load of coal from some coal
burner, who has not yet fiuishtd his con
tract. Last Sunday's heat brought another thun
derstorm, which lasted about two hours,
says the Vancouver Independent. It was
composed mostly of thunder and lightning,
and little rain. As to the cause of such an
unheard of ocurrence the conjectures are
numerors, and the matter is not settled
except iu the minds of old webfooters, who
insist that it is a part and parcel of the new
emigration from the East, the newcomers
oringing tuumterstortns ai d other new
customs to terrify those who have so long
possessed 'this goodly land undisturbed by
the newer civilization. During the storm a
thunderbolt struck a tree near the Alta
House. Two of a party of ladies on the
porch of the hotel were prostrated and
partly stunned. A party of boys under a
tree near by were heavily shocked, anil felt
it so severely that a1 1 had stiif necks for
about an hour.
An incident was related the other day
which goes to show that the cattle business
is one of the surest in which a man can in
vest, and in which there are lucky strikes
that equal or e::cel some of the strikes told
of prospectors finding rich pockets in the
"flush days" of California. The incident is
as follows: About a year ago the Cramer
Bros, of Horse Lake, made a trade with
Jacob MeKissick, buying all the cattle
which said MeKissick hail running on the
Madeline Plains. Mr. MeKissick agreed to
let them have all the cattle they could
gather up by the last of August for sixteen
dollars a head. The work of gathering
commenced and before the last of August
arrived the Cramer Brothers, had refused
$28 a head' for what they had found. A
month later they sold the beef cattle out of
the MeKissick band and realized enough on
the sale to pay the purchase money, and
had 2,000 in coin and 1,400 head of cattle
left. The price of beef began to advance
about the time they made the purchase,
anil within six months they more than
doubled their money. Nevada State

Regeneration for Unfeebled Systems,
Suffering from a general want of tone, anJ its usual
concomitants, dyspepsia an,j nervousness, is seldom
derivable from the use of a nourishintr diet and
stimuli of appetite, unaided. A medicine that will
effect a removal of tiie specific obstacle to renewed
health and vigor, that is a genuine corrective, is the
real need. It is the jxisscssion of this grand requir
ement which makes Hostetter's Stomach Bitters so
effectiveas an 'iivijroraut. Fur Wale by ail Druggists
and Dealers generally.
We learn that daylight is visible through
the upper portion ot tunnel 4, below the
Sacramento river bridge, but the lower part
of the tunnel is of such hard iron rock, that
the drilling and blasting proceeds slow.
Owing to the tough nature of the rock, it is
impossible to do anything with the Bur
leigh drills, and the work is performed with
hand drills and sledge hammers. It is ex
pected that cars will be run up to Dog
Creek by the 1st of August at latest, as
everything is ready above the big tunnel
for laying the track as soon as construction
trains can be sent up from Redding. The
C. P. managers are shipping below every thing
used in railroad wotk, except what is
actually necessary to complete the road to
49 mile post, which indicates that they
have quit for good. It is suspected by the
C. P. that Jay Gould is in control of the
Northern Pacific an') Oregon roads, and
that he may eventually build down the
coast from Rock l'oin to gain an inde
pendent road of his own to San Francisco.
In Oregon, it is suspected that the Central
Pacific has been endeavoring to secure the
Oregon branch, and that work wi 1 be re
sumed again just as soon as the C. P. ga:ns
control of the same Yreka Journal.
