One of the cylinder heads was blown out and the engine had to make part of the trip on one leg. Strong efforts are being made by the world's fair committee to have the pas senger rates to and trom the fair cut down to one cent a mile, on all the rail roads of the United States.

A jute bag factory, to be conducted by convict labor, is being erected in Walla Walla and the people up that way are expecting, when it is got in running order, that it will put a stop to the ex cessive rates generally charged for grain bags at trie time when farmers require to use them. The factory is expected to to be completed and in running order by next December. Upwards of 5000 signatures have been attached to a requisition addressed to D. L.

There is as vile a stench as ever greeted mortal nostril, smelling up to heaven itself, and spreading its sicken ing odor toward every point of the com pass, at the foot of Court street, where garbage and Totten offal of all kinds are dumped on the beach. People ought to be compelled to dump the garbage in the river or burn it or do something to stop the infernal stink. . "Who is this James McGinty who ad-r vertises in the Chboxicle for men to work on the reservoir up Mill Creek?" said Pap Chandler to a Chkonicle re porter this morning. .."Why," said the reporter, "it's Jimmey McGinty, who passed himself off on the water comrms sioners 'for a Frenchman, and spelled his name McGintie to get . the contract and got it too." "I see by the Chroni cle," said Pap, "he wants ten men to work on the reservoir." "He does," answered the scribe." "Well, said Pap, "I want you to notify him to call at the Grange store. I have got two first class men, E. Jacobsen and M. N. Eastwood, who are solemnly bound to me to under take a job of anything, from street sweeping up, at a moment's notice. I'll hire them out to him at reasonable wages." "All right," said the scribe, and McGinty is notified accordingly. Mosier Notes. Mosiee, Aug. 18, 1891. Ed. Chronicle.

The business men of Portland could well afford to build, through their chamber of commerce, a portage road around the obstructions in the river at a cost of $250,000. It would prove to be the best investment they ever made. East Oregonian. I HELD UP. Daring; and Successful Robbery - tween Here and Bake Oven. , Be- A daring and successful robbery was committed yesterday afternoon about o'clock on the daily stage that runs between this city and Bake Oven. As the driver, Charley Adams, neared the top of the hill on the other side of Shear- ar 8 .Bridge, at no great distance irom the spring on the left hand side of the road; a masked man jumped out .of. a clump of brush and presenting a rifle at the driver ordered him to throw out the mail sacks. The driver was alone and without any weapons, and, as most men would have done under the circumv stances, readily complied. Just at this moment the sound of wagon wheels were heard lower down the hill and the rob asked, "what is that noise?" The driver informed the robber that it was a freight team: when the robber responded, Then you drive on," which he accord- ngly did. The robber got away with three mail sacks, one containing the through Antelope mail, one the through Prineville mail and the third, what is known as the way sack. When the driver had got a short distance further up the hill he was met by Lem Burges, to whom he related he circumstance of the robbery.. Mr.) Burgess hastened down the hill and when near the scene of the robbery' he met the team already referred to, which proved to be that of Mr. H. W. Wells. The driver of the team was asked if be had seen any sign of the robber and answered, "No, but he must be in the clump of brush below for the noise of eome person in the brush, as I passed, nearly frightened my team into a runaway." Mr. Burgess has tened down the hill but found no signs of the robber and as he too was unarmed he hastened to the bridge only to find that they had several guns but no aniu- nition. Mr. Fairchild, who is keeping the bridge in the absence of Mr. Sherar found two Indians who had rifles and sent them up the hill to the Ecene of the robbery. When they arrived there, of course the robber was gone but they found a mask, made out of a piece of unbleached muslin, and Messrs. Phil Brogan and John Grant arriving about the same time found another mask and two of the mail sacks, both rifled of their contents except a couple of parcels of store goods and' two or three newspapers Mr. Fairchild is of the opinion that the Prineville sack may have contained con siderable money aa there were some ap parently valuable letters in the sack ad dressed to the Baldwin Land and Live Stock company of Hay Creek, Crook county. It is somewhere in the neigh borhood .of twenty years since the news- papers of this county had to record a stage robbery committed within its bor ders. About that time the mail stage coming this way,' was held up by masked robbers near the head of the Antelope canyon, and robbed of the mail. Ad Edgar was the driver and four men were afterwards arrested and sent to states prison, for the offense. It this last case only one man was seen, but from the fact that two masks were found he may have had an accomplice. Who the robber or robbers was or were ia at this moment unknown. It is probable they were from the other side the Deschutes and may have had secret information of the ar rival of some valuable mail matter. Died by the Wayside. Wednesday, Benjamin R. Mael, a resident of Long Creek, dropped dead while en route from his residence to the saw mill of J. J. Patterson, a half mile distant. His little granchild wes with him and thinking he had only fallen down, did her utmost in assisting to rise. him Real Estate Transactions. Mattie A. Winans and husband to A. S.

N Aa no provision has been made for paying the expenoes of the delegates to the Salt Lake Irrigation convention, and no one can attend from thia section without incurring an expense of about $100, it may be presumed that Eastern Oregon's representation will be very slim. In fact it is doubtful if any of Governor Pennoyer's appointees will feel like paying out a hundred dollars for a hundred cents worth of benefit. La Grande Gazette. An exchange says : "If the rumors that a young person whose last name will necessarily be Cleveland may make its advent into this troublous world be fore long, and if he, she or it should live till the buds swell and the blossoms come forth in 1893, there might be a new baby-carriage in the White house grounds, with baby McKee not in it.

Dear Sir: Renlvlnir tn vnur ronnwif fnr . t with tbe Eauttable Life Assurance Hinnetv nf Now state that m the early part of IBM, my age being 58 years, I took out a Ten-Payment Life Policy in the Equitable upon their Ten-Year Tontine Plan, for tl0,000. My premiums during the period amounted to J7,512.00. The Tontine period expired early in Junuary of the present year, and the Company then offered me the following terms of settlement; FIRST A paid up policy for f 10,000 00 And cash 9 751 60 bECOND A paid up policy for 54,600 00 THIRD Surrender my policy, aud receive in cash '.. 36.496 80 I was so little satisfied with the results of my investment that I chose the third, cash, proposi tion, but when I so decided, the comoanv. thrniich Rvrl nf it nmtwunhKvM l.hnmH me to bike one of the other forms of settlement, but rinding that I was determined to surrender the policy and take the cash, they tinally instructed me from the home office to sand policy and receipt for the amount, f:S6,496.80, to their State manager in Cleveland, and ha would rpmit ma thn iiruiniit I followed their instructions and sent the nolicv correspondent in Cleveland, only to have it returned from the Cleveland Bank with the information inai iuk oiie manager or ine bquitaDle states thut he "had not sufficient funds to meet it." This forced me to return it to the New York office, and compelled me to wait some twenty days after maturity before receiving final settlement. I have given no statement endorsing the Equitable, or expressing my satisfaction with their settlement with me. On the other hand I have positively refused to do so. The fact that my re turns were 1,015.20 less than my total investment renders further comment unnecessary. During the time I carried the Equitable policy and up to the day when thev submitted the above proposition to me, I was kept In total Ignorance of the condition of my investment. In marked contrast with this has been my experience with the Northwestern, in which ia 1882, I took a Ten-Year Endowment Policy, Ten-Year Tontine, for 10,000, that company having from time to time furnished me with a memorandum of the surplus on my policy over the signature of their actuary; so that while my policy has not yet matured, and will not until next year, I haje the satisfaction of knowing that at maturity it will net me from fi,000 to $5,000 more than the face of the policy calls for.
