Tom Harris, a well known sheepman,

A put a nickel in the slot lung-tester at

the laugh had gone around, he looked
upon the bystanders with a sort of "you

' From' a gentlemen who has jusf re

Mysterious and Sadden Death. .
Died yesterday afternoon, March 22d,
at her residence on Lower Fifteen-mile
creek, Mrs. Perry Watkins, mother of
Senator George Watkins of this city,
aged 62 years and 10 months. The death
of Mrs Watkins is attended with circum
stances that render the immediate cause
somewhat' difficult 'to determine. She
had been complaining for something like
a week about her head which pained her
and according to her"own testimony felt
strange.' A little while before her death
she was engaged with her . daughter,
Mrs.-C.,E. Bayard, doing some sewing.
Remarking that her head troubled her
she told her daughter she would step out
lor-a little while into the garden. Mrs.
Bayard approved of her intention and
told her she would follow her as soon as
she had finished her work. A-short
time after, the work being done, Mrs.
Bayard followed her mother, but could
not find her anywhere. Becoming
alarmed she sent for Mr. Watkins and
the hired man who were in a field at a
'short distance from the house. After a
little more searching all that was mortal
of Mrs. Watkins was feund about fifty
yards from the house, in the creek that
flows past it, ' where ' ! the ; depth of
water does - not exceed from six to
eight inches, .the upper part of tbe
body ' lying clean out of "-the . water
on the bank, while the lower part was
submerged in the creek. How she came
there will perhaps never be known.
There was no evidence whatever that
her death came by drowning, and efforts
to resuscitate her .under that impression,
failed to show that any water had been
inhaled. The sum of all the evidence in
the case would lead as', as it'does' her
family, to conclude that she' had 'been
stricken with paralysis while walking
near the edge of the : water and becom
ing bewildered before complete helpless
ness bad set in stepped partially, into
the water where death must have come
in a few minutes to end her suffering.
The remains will arrive in this city to
morrow (Friday) about 12:30 o'clock p.
pa., and be buried in the Odd Fellows
cemetery where the funeral service will
be hett.,
The Oriental Klilm-.'
Nothing bnt the knowleilga of our old
time linlinri enables rut to credit the his
torical MCfonnbt.of the agility aud skill
of the oriental.- When centuries later
saddles came into nse there grew up two
Kc-hoolH if riding that of the mailed
warrior, whose Iron armor well chimed
iu with his "tongues on the " wall,"
seated in his packed saddle, and that of
the oriental, whose nose and knees all
but touched. . Why the eastern rider
clings t his extremely short leathers it
is hard to say.. nnlesH.it be to place him
the higher above his horse, and therefore
make him the more imposing when he
stands- up in 'his stirrups to brandish
aeimiter or matchlock. Yet be is a
wonderfnl rider, this same oriental, as
indeed is every man who from youth up
is the companion of the horse. Western

How an Eakinio Secures a Wife.
An Eskimo youth is qualified to marry
when he has succeeded in killing a polar
bear unaided, for the courageous feat
proves him capable of providing for the
wants of a family. He starts forth at
night to secure a wife, which he does by
seizing the first girl he can surprise ana
wares She naturally screams" and
draws the whole village population
about her, who, by. raining sealskin
scourges on his shoulders, aid the maiden
in escaping. He pursues, running the
gantlet of kick and buffet, until he again
catches bis lady love. And should she
once more escape and be retaken a third
time by the amorous pursuer the maiden
accepts ber fate and becomes the young
man's wife. London Standard.
Antidote' for Saake and Dog; Bites.
Dr. Engela has discovered in Africa a
remedy for blood poisoning caused by
the bites of snakes and rabid dogs. This
remedy is the "wild growing black
noble palm." . It is stated tha,t 600 ne
groes bitten by poisonous snakes were
treated with the extract of the palm and
487 were cured in five days. Of sixty
five farmers and negroes bitten by rabid
dogs all bnt two were saved. . t
The extract is injected under the skin
and causes a moderate fever. On the
third day the' fever and inflammation
disappear, and on the fifth or seventh
day the patient is- cured. New York

Portland Telegram, March 2d.
' The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Nav
igation company Js pushing its opposi
tion to the Union Pacific in an unexpect
ed direction. The great railroad did not
look for so much energy on part of the
corporation. The officials thought that
it'ifbuld be short-lived, but this has not
turned out to be the case, for the steam
boat company claims that it is now in a
better position than ever. The company
is now well known, and operates two
steamers between- Portland and The
Dalles, on tbe Columbia and Willamette,
one above and the other belew the cas
cades. It competes with the Union Pa
cific on all river business, and on that in
and tributary to The Dalles.
WKEH.e THE OPPOSITION" IS. -. C
'r It is now carrying freight from Port
land to The Dalles,' which is reshipped
over the Union Pacffie from-; The Dalles
to points on that line all the distance to
La Grande.-including.. Pendleton Hepr
pner, Arlington a ad smaller towns on
the road.1 The Union Pacific has hereto
fore done this business exclusively, car
rying freight directly from Portland to
these towns.. It has never had coinpe
tition. . -
Now the' receipts from transportation
of merchandise will have to be divided
with a rival corporation. Net only this,
but it is claimed that the greater, part f
the rates jvill gd to this company, for
this half of the. rateais as -an average
higher than t he-other half. u
WII4. THERE BE WAH? ' ' ' '
It seems to have just entered the field
in earnest, and trom the time the line
was started in September it has acted
on the same plan. The traffic has been
increasing steadily, and' the manage
ment with the opening of the spring
look forward to a much larger . business.
They say that the Union Pacific is hardly
in a1 position to compete; that the- only
way in which it can be done' is to raise
the locals between The Dalles arid
these points, Pendleton, Heppner, La
Grande and Arlington ;' and that, since
tbe rates are now very high,, they canr
not be put up any higher.
-' The "present way in which the Union
UPacific is i overcome, is that the naviga
tion company '6 rates to The Dalles, the
present terminus of the line, are very
low... These rates, added to the rates on
the Union Pacific f rood The Dalles east
ward, make a lower total than the rail
road company's through rates from Port
land to these points. ; On certain kinds
Of merchandise which cabe transferred
without damage, it is cheaper to send in
this .way. This is admitted by the
Union Pacific officials and is evident
from the tariffs.
