We are glad to see our young friend get this position, as a job of that kind is a genuine snap these times. Col. F. J. Parker, of the Walla Walla Statesman, is sojourning at his tanch on Big Elk, in this coun ty. The Colonel has not been in good health for the past few months, and his physician has or dered him lo try the country life for a change, a prescription that he ts not at all loath to take. J. J. Gaiiher, formerly chief clerk at the Siletz agency, has received an order transferring him to the Yakima agency in Washington. The transfer is made under the civ il service rules to which Mr. Gaith er is suoject to. The assistant clerk at the Yakima agency has been Hnnlerred to Siletz. The transfer brinm to Mr. Gaithernn additional Jioo a year salary, and the Yakima a -ency is said to be a veiy pleasant place. During his four and a half year's service at Siletz Mr. Gaither has proven himself to be an efficient tnil trustworthy employe, and has sIm been a very popular one with all parlies. We regret lo see Mr. Gaither mid his family leave here, but hope for them that their lines will be cast in pleasant places in their new location. And so at last our friend Col. N. Snow ha come to grief. Last Sun day he went fishing, contrary to the rules of the Sunday school, and lit- met with an accident. The story goes that he was engaged in pulling the victims out of the ftream at a place called the "sucks" on Depoe slough. Atl at once he got what he thought was a big bite and tried to stand up in the boat to land his fish. By mistake he got one of his feet about one foot to the side of the center of the boat and the heavy weight thus thrown on one side was too much for the boat and over it went, and CdI. Snow took a plunge bath in the deep chilly waters of the Depoe. After crawling out he swore his companion to secrecy and walked home; no more boat for him. NBCRALQIA rmrrd by Dr. Miles Paia fuAM.

Ezra Hammersly, of the upper Alsea valley made proof upon his homestead before the county clerk last Saturday. He was accompan ied by Floyd and David Cams as witnesses.

The Oregon City Enterprise is the best supplied paper in the state I for editors, outside the city of Port land. It has an editor and proprie tor a business manager and n polit ical editot. It is probable that the right men might get positions on the Enterprise as snake editor and horse editor. Last Saturday the republicans held a sort of a local ratification meeting at Elk City, at which the candidates for the varous county offices appeared and took parts. It was something, so it is said, in the nature of a menagerie, with the candidates as the animals. Our informant does not inform us just the natur of the exercises of the day. In holding the contract between j the old county court and the clerk land the sheriff to be valid, the I district court has again set a limit upon the powers of a county court, and holds that they can't go back and upset contracts made in good faith andlived up to by the parties thereto. If this thing keeps on it will soon , be so that county courts will be held to be subject to laws the same as other people and officers. t-. j: -j x-waa icauing an advertisement f Chamberlain's Colic' Choleria j L t, '7 " "T ? , I ! ches,er Enterprise recently, which leads me to write this.

Ky., for twelve years; has sold hundreds of bottles of this remedy and nearly all other cough medicines manu factured, which shows conclusively that Chamberlain's is the most sat isfactory to the people, and is the best. For sale by O. O. Krogstad Druggist. Austin Rosebrooks' folks are in receipt of a letter from Grandma Rosebrooks, from Palo Alto, Cali fornia: that pictures a distressing state of affairs there. The letter says that it is extremely hot and dry there. In fact' the whole coun try is burnt up by drouth, and the only green vegetation to be seen is where the grouni is irrigated. Farmers aud stockmen are killing off their stock to keep them from starving, it being more humane to kill them than to let them starve on sun scorched, barren fields and meadows. She also says that Mr. and Mrs. Dedrick who went with her to that place is having very hard luck. A short time after ar riving there Mr. Dedrick, who was unused to the hot, dry weather, be came overheated and suffered a sunstroke, and has been confined to his bed the most of the time since. He has been only able to secure three days work since his arrival there. Grandma Rosebrook says that after all there is no place like Oregon, and she is quite right. A. L. Chitwood, was in town yesterday with a gievance, and a very proper one. He complains that some parties have been setting out fires in bis vicinity and consid erable damage has been done there by. On Mr. Chitwood's place there have been two fires set out al ready this spring, and in both in stances the fire has run over ground on which he has grass seed sown. This means that the seed sown there is destroyed. He has scat tered several dollars worth of grass seed on the hillside of his farm, during the past winter and this spring, and he does not relish the idea of losing all his labor and money expended. The law upon the starting of forest fires is very stringent, and some of these care less hunters and others who have, been carelessly starting fires had bet- j ter exercise more care. The farm-' ers that are trying to get their! places fenced and set to gravs will i turn some of these davs and prose-' cute some of these fire starters. ! Died. JOHNSON At Morrison.
