Oh, have you heard and have you heard
The news that's going round,
How high bred English voices ape
The ankee nasal sound?
Behold a chance, oh, Yankee dames
A bargain to be made
Adopt their low, smooth, cultured tones
And call it a square trade.

The Pendleton Tribune reports, from
a private letter from Utah, that cattle in
the southern portion of that state are
dying at a fearful rate from starvation
and exposure. The situation is worse
than ever before known in the history
of the territory, and some people think
that half the cattle will die.
Burnham & Robertson, enterprising

that the facts set forth in their adver

They have added a space 40 x 100 feet in

George W. Slack, of Wenatchee, dis
appeared February28th, leaving his wife
and infant child. He had gone hunting
for deer, and his neighbors, fearing that
some accident had befallen him, organiz

found at the bottom of a deep canyon,
mangled and frozen stiff. It is supposed
that he fell over the edge of the cliff
while chasing a deer. Statesman.

The Punishment Fits the Crime. -
Last evening a stranger entered the
Skibbe hotel and negotiated a check on
a local bank for two dollars with Mr.
Skibbe. It afterward developed that
the signer, Emanuel Coronada, had no
money in the bank to make good the
check and later he was arrested at the
instance of Mr. Skibbe, on a charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
His trial began this morning and was
continued at 2 o'clock before Justice
Schutz, resulting in a further continu
ance tomorrow.
It would appear that $2 is a small
sum to risk gaining in such a way, in
view of the penalty, which is imprison
ment in the penitentiary. It is reported
that Coronada has been incarcerated be
fore in the state penitentiary.
Trespassing
on Another.
W. Pashek, a farmer living twelve

passing upon his premises. Pashek
says that he ehut up a number of Gil
man's hogs which were injuring his
property and the next day the owner of
them, Mr. Gilman, entered the prem
ises and let them free. The statutes
provide in like cases that anyone in
jured by roaming hogs may shut them
up, and the owner to recover them must
go about it in a certain prescribed way,
paying damages therefor. The trial
will come off tomorrow.

tertained the guests with two piano solos,

AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Commission for Oregon Asks Gen
eral Co-operation.
o the Citizens of Oregon:
The Oregon World's Fair Commission
has been legally organized. Its officers,
superintendents, assistants and agents
have been chosen, and they are now
actively engaged in the preparation of
an exhibit of the rich and varied re
sources of Oregon, to bo placed before
the eyes of the world in the several de
partment ' buildings of the Columbian
exposition at Chicago.
The world's exposition opens shortly,
and no time should be lost if we would be
properly represented. Our state has
been allotted ample spaces in the differ
ent department buildings, which this
commission has promised to fill, and
which it hopes to occupy with honor to
the state. And to make the labors of
this commission the more successful,
which will add not only to the credit of
the state, but to her every citizen, the
free co-operation of her each and every
resident is earnestly solicited.
To this end, therefore, all persons
who have prepared individual exhibits,
all societies, organizations, or associa
tions of any kind whatever that have
prepared exhibits of any kind for the
coming exposition, are urged to at once
place themselves in communication with
the heads of the several departments, as
organized by this commission. You
may be able to judge to which depart
ment your exhibit belongs by reading
what follows : This commission desires
to send to Chicago those things which
will in any manner give a true represent
ation of any of Oregon's resources, or
add in any way to the attractiveness of
the spaces allotted to Oregon in any of
the exposition buildings.
The Oregon exhibit will be collected
and displayed under the following head
ings:
The department of agriculture, for
estry and forest products, and live
stock, W. F. Matlock, superintendent.

A Very Creditable and Entertaining
Performance Last Night.
The Indians gave a very unique enter
tainment last night and those who at
tended say they would not have missed
it for much more than the price of ad
mission. Jim Wesley was the interpre
ter, or the interlocutor, a well-known
Indian character, who is quite intelli
gent and a fairly good conversationalist.
He directed the performance, explaining
to the audience the various dances and
their meaning. For music, a violin
played by an Indian, proved a novelty
the tune throughout being "The Irish
Washerwoman," accompanied by Indian
drums. A quadrille, after the manner
of the whites was given, but the evolu
tions were much more intricate, and
were not without a certain grace un
known to their more enlightened neigh
bors. The demand for comedy was fur
nished by an Indian dressed in a bear
skin, the resemblance being perfect,
issuing from behind a curtain. "What
shall we do with him, boys?" said Jim.
"I tell you ; I thinks we skin him and
sell the hide to Wolf." This local hit,
and by a stolid Indian, proved too much
for the risibilities and the house was
convulsed with laughter. If the Indians
had imitated the whites in their manner
of advertising they would have had a
large house, and furnished a perform
ance more creditable than half of . the
traveling troupes.

There is some snow yet in sight.
Fall sown grain is looking remarkably

Everybody is ransacking boxes and
drawers for early garden seed.
The Fisher saw mill is laid up for re
pairs, a broken flume being the trouble.
Mrs. James Wright, from Roseburg,
and Mrs. Phillips, nee Mosier, from
Portland, are visiting with Mr. and Mrs.
J. Mosier here.
The board of equalization of school
district No. 52, met at the school house
last week and attended to their usual
grist of business.
"Positively No Credit" is the wither
ing notice that stares us in the face
when after our allowance of beans and
bacon at the store now-a-days.
The Oregon Lumber Co., which will
begin operations in their logging camps
about the first of next month, will fur
nish employment for a number of
Mosier citizens.
Spring has a rather disappointing
habit of coquetting with winter in
this neighborhood. If she doesn't prove
a more stable article, we will be found
courting summer when she does choose
to smile on us.
A Mr. Hunter and family arrived
from Los Angeles last week. Mr.
Hunter has purchased the Doty place on
Mosier creek, and is one of those pro
gressive farmers who will show that
fruit growing in Eastern Oregon is a
success.
Mr. and Mrs. Young and a Mr. Evans,
all recently from Missouri, have re
turned to that state on business 'and
also to urge their friends to take advan
tage of Uncle Sam's willingness to re
lease good farms in this section to their
keeping.
With all of our good people, Mosier
has some individuals who would prove
jewels at Salem, in striped suits of
clothes, with a ball and chain attach
ment for a bangle. "Cap," a full
blooded Irish setter (subject to register),
belonging to Thomas Harlan, was poi
soned last week. The dog was a valua
ble sporting animal, having sold once
for $100. Perpetrators of such deeds are
the unfortunate ones from a moral
standpoint, and, to use a common ex
pression, are "mean enough to steal
sheep."
"Promenade to the supper table,"
shouted the caller. There was no mis
take, for the clock showed 'twas mid
night. Supper over, and the "twe-de-iddle-dy,
twe-iddle-de" of the violin
again put the dancers in motion and
kept them whirling and spinning and
bobbing until old Sol smiled in on them
the following morning. Each partici
pant then wished Miss Mamie Hunter
many happy returns of her birthday
and journeyed homeward, treasuring in
their memory one of those little gleams
of sunshine that smooths the pebbles in
life's pathway. Sub.
Trichina In Oregon.
From the quarterly report issued to
the Marion county court by W. S.
Simeral, it is probable that swine are
to some extent infected with the
dreaded disease of hog trichina. The
report says: "There is considerable
sickness among horses and cattle.
Sheep are only in fair condition as far
as has been heard from. There are
some hogs in the county affected with
catarrh or snuffles, and some with
trichina." In view of the report and
until further notice, anyway, it will be
well for all who eat pork to be sure that
it is well done, for many have died from
eating underdone pork infested with
trichina.
While the eostern portion of this state
in the clutches of winter snows and
the frost king, this section is reveline in
warm spring weather. Our farmers are
busy plowing and Eeeding, and garden
era are planting potatoes.

from our quiet village may be of interest
to some of your many readers. The
weather is fine and farmers are busy
with spring work The sick are reported
much better and we hope to see them
around soon again. The telephone in
corporation have returned and report
everything favorable, so we hope for com
munication with the outside world.
The social singing club met at Mr. P. T.
Knowles on Saturday evening last and
had a most pleasant time; spent the
evening in singing and playing games
until a late hour, when Mr. and Mrs.
Knowles greatly surprised them by in
viting them to the dining room where
lunch was served and all expressed
themselves as having an excellent time.
Miss Pearl Gleason is soon to return to
her home in the Willamette valley. She
has been spending the winter with her
uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. S. Broyles,
of this place. She will be missed by her
many friends.
The roads are improving, although
there are some bad mud holes yet. It
was a good plan, we think, for our over
seers to note them down and grade them
a little before another winter.
