On last Tuesday night "Ice-Cream Johnny" was lodged in jail for refusing to go out of a house in this city, but it seems j he did not like his quarters for be fore midnight he had cut a bar loose and sought a hotel elsewhere.

A Typo on the Road; Editor News: We too have ta ken a trip, but our journey lay in the direction of the land of "big red tipples and pretty girls." Early Saturday morn ing we climbed into the buckboard, ' hnving previously paid $25 for the , privilege of being carried over the 1 rocks between Canyon City and the Dalles. We had anticipated a hard, dusty ride, but the driver comforted us ! with the assurance that two ladies would i soon be added to our load. Our driver j seemed to be given to exaggeration as to the number of the ladies, but one did pet on at Mr. Stone's. Talk about your doctors for seat partners! We had intended to tell all about the crops, etc., but really had'nt time to notice such thiiurs, for wo had something fair than even the beautiful valley of the John Day. About noon we arrive at the S 'Uth Fork and stop inv dinner at Eli Lester's. A threshing machine was buisily engaged in cleaning up the Captain's large crop! A few miles fur ther on we bogin the ascent of the mountain h ading id Spanish Gulch, ar riving there late in the afternoon. The town was quiet, and Are stopped only long enough to change the mail About 0 o'clock P. M. we arrive at our stopping place for the night. A few hours in drcairland, and wo are up and start on ot:r way. A short drive through the bracinir mountain air brings us to the summit and we cross over in to Wa?co and dash down Twin Uulch. j Hero a sad misfortune befell us, our fair companion leaving the stage. Im- mediately the roads femed ti become j du-ty and roui:h. We had, however, more leisure to look at the country.; As we d tive down Bridge Creek, we! noti.? many (in0 gardens, orchards and train tiel U.

Out: merchants ar receiving their fall and winter supply of goods and with freight teams, wood and grain teams an two daily stajje lines coming into our city it presents a lively appear ance. From the way travel is increas ing on the Dalles and other stage lines coming in here we hope to see ere many months that ood coaches will be of a necessity. A Gift.

We will ulso makrt the Fame ofTer for tho file of the "Expres5," published by Gale and the sime for a file of the ''Times," published by Guild. Lumber. It is astonishing fo see the amount of lumber that goes through this city to the valley from W. S. Southworth's mill. See his advertise ment. It shows that the valley is im proming very rapidly or so much lum ber would not be used down there. Our Hotels arc crowded to overflow, ing this week; even hotel De Wash has a lodger uow and then, but no reg ular boarder. Mr. Birge handed us a hind quarter of venison the other day. It was fine and we will remember him kindly.

It is reported that they have between two and thre. hun dred horses in the band. TriE hore-thief killed neir Ifarney is supposed to he a desperado named "Dick Barber," who used to n:t:e through Nevada and surrounding ; oun try. Two men at Harney say they can identify him as such.
