The Cove correspondent of the La
Grande Gazette says: Some spots in
the gram fields near here are said to be
pefectly yellow with unhatched grass
hopper eggs. On the ridge the young
hoppers have here and there eaten the
ground bare, though it is supposed not
to damage the grain which soon grows
again more vigorous than ever.
An Ellensburg correspondent says:
"Our town is crowded with discharged
laborers. The orders for suspension
of work on the Cascade division have
cast a gloom over the burg. This will
tend to put a stop to all improvements
and building until something more def
inite is learned in regard to construct
ing the road to this place."
Victoria Times: A discovery of
Lold bearing quartz is reported near
the falls on Coldstream, which was
brought to light by a cutting on the
Island railway. The attention of Mr.
Hunter, chief engineer of the works,
was called to the quartz, and upon ex
animation it was found to contain gold
in large quantities, onf quarts speci
men being rich in the metal.
Ashland Tiding: A number of the
maple Tees in town are infested with
an insect which is said to be the red

sheepmen lost more or less of their
flocks from the effects of the late rains
and cold spell coming just after shear
ing, causing the sheep to chill to
death. As near as we are able to learn
such loss will run from twenty to one
hundred in each band.
Newberg letter: Two accidents
with fire-arms the past week in our
little burg. Riley Smith went to pick
up his gun in a hurry to shoot a crow;
the gun went off, taking the end ofi

Ueuben Frank got a bullet through his

A Piute Indian named Plush, who
is Chief of a little band of redskins
camped on Dead man creek, near
Lakeview was on a glorious old drunk
-Saturday. During his jamboree he
beat one of his squaws almost to death,
cut an Indian child up considerably
with a butcher knife, and drove all his
faithful henchmen to the mountains
for safety. A posse from town cap
tured the crazy brute and lodged him
in jail till he sobered up.
Grant's Pass Courier: On the first
f this month H. B. Miller & Co. sold
to Geo. Ainslee & Co., Portland, 12c,
00 feet of sugar pine lumber, and
:rom other sources have received or
ders for four more carloads of the same
kind of lumber, making a revenue to
this county of about $35,000. This
ought to be evidence that this variety
of lumber can be manufactured here
to good advantage in competition with
California. With a sash and door fac
tory here almost every foot of this val
uable timber could be worked into
large profit. The theorv heretofore
advanced by Mr. Miller that the sugar
pine of this country would develop
into one of our best paying industries,
is becoming more practical every day.
The manufactory talked . of is one of
the positive things of the near future.
Salem Statesman: Rev. Jesse Har
ritt, who lives at a point over the river
about two miles from Salem, showed
us a pear tree in his yard that is full
six feet in circumference about the
body, and is forty-seven feet high.
Last )-ear it bore fifty-two bushels of
pears, which is more than it ever bore
before. The amount of fruit that it
yields corresponds to its growth. The
tre is thirty-three years old, is in a
healthy condition and bids fair to live
four or five hundred years longer.
John L. Sullivan, the brutal pugilist,
has entered a counter suit to his wife's
suit for divorce, alleging cruel and
abusive treatment and habits of intox
ication. it wilt be a pity to separate
so congenial a couple as this twain
proclaims themselves to be, though the
idea of any one, still less a woman,
maltreating Sullivan will probably be
scouted by the judge who will be
called upon to decide the marital dif
ferences of these anxious applicants
for divorce. Ex.
Peter Goyette of High valley, Un
ion county, has a curiosity, or a mon
strosity, whichever it may be called.
It is a lamb now five weeks old, in
perfect health, having five legs, the
odd number projecting from its side,
but about an inch shorter than the
regulation legs. The tail also grows
from the hip, some three inches from
the location of the ordinary protuber
ance, while on the right shoulder is a
growth, now about four inches in
length, which .Mr. Goyette designates
as a "wing."' The animal in every le
spect acts, eats and plays as if a lamb
of ordinary birth, and is certainly the
result of an extraordinary freak of nature.
The first through train over the Ca
nadian Pacific railway from Montreal
to Winnipeg, bearing troops designed
for operation against Poundmaker and
his band of Indians is ominous of the
effect of railroads in settling the Indian
question. But it is more significant as
an industrial victory, the results of
which will last long after that question
is settled. This great railway has now
been completed to the base of the
Rocky mountains, and at last accounts
the gap between that point and the
Pacific ocean was being closed as rap
idly as possible, considering the grave
engineering difficulties encountered.
Thev will soon be overcome, and
another vast railway line the longest
by far of any will span the continent.
