Beneath the trees was swinging low
A hammock: In the shade,
And seated there a college youth ,
Near by his side a maid.
The tree flung down protecting limbs,
'Twas surely not amiss,
Since no One was in sight, he thought,
To try and steal a kiss.
The maiden blushing, murmured "Don't,"
And watched the gay leaves drop,..
Mischievously he asked, "Don't what?"
"Why, don't, ' she said, "don't stop!"

In Justice Court.
In Justice Davis' court yesterday, in
the case of the State vs. John Prall, it
appearing his bondsman waB not suffi
cient surety for his appearance, and that
the defendant was about to leave the
state, he was rearrested and brought
into court, where he entered a plea of
"not guilty" to the charge of unlawfully
taking and attempting to take fish. His
bond was raised to $100, which he was
unable to furnish, and was remanded to
the custody of the sheriff. He afterward
withdrew his plea of not guilty and en
tered a plea of guilty, -and was fined $10
and costs, amounting to a total of $27.30
which he paid and was discharged.
In the case of Owen Williams vs.
Clint Thomas, Mr. Thomas settled
everything promptly and the case was
dismissed.

Forcing; From the Sewer.
A Chinese garden at the foot of Fed
eral street has been one of the features of
irst street for many years. Its pro-
rietor has been uniformly successful in
ising for the markets -the first vege
tables and garden truck. A weed is
never permitted to attain a growth of
more than two or three inches and un
usual care is given the garden. Bnt his
success is due chiefly to a cause which
an American would disdain to employ,
for at the upper end of the garden is the
outlet of one of our principal sewers,
and the filth and pollution that daily;
flows from it is used to enrich and force
the growth of the seeds he plants. An
atmosphere hangs over this patch oi
ground that would sicken a white man
and he would -soon die if he breathed it
as continuously as does John Chinaman.
But the aforesaid John seems to thrive!
upon it, and he goes on enjoying life and
adding daily receipts to his unquestioned
hoard of wealth. '

Sailed the Seas Thirty-Eight Yearn.
Capt. A. P. Loud is a prominent resi
dent of Hampden, Me. For 38 years
he sailed the seas, and upon retiring
from that calling was appointed by the
TJ. S. government to superintend its in
terests in the Alaska seal fisheries, a
position he held five years. In speak
ing of his experience he says: "For
several years I was greatly troubled with
nervousness and pain in the region of
the heart. It was almost impossible for
me to get rest and sleep. Physicians
from New York to San Francisco did me
no good, but Dr. Miles Restorative Ner
vine and New Heart Cure speedily and
completely cured me. I owe my pres-
1 ent excellent health to them."

Work of Cattle Thieves.
Wm. Floyd of 5-Mile has lost a large
part of his cattle in the last several
months from thieves. He has lost so
many, in fact, that it has grown to be a
serious matter. No" trace can be found
of the thieves, but it has been found
that his cattle have been driven some
where across the Des Chutes to some
secret rendezvous of the robberB, and
there re-branded. Cattle have even
been stolen from out of the corral. He
discovered the work of the thieves by a
cow which he had missed returning,
when the marks where it had been
freshly branded over could b9 seen. He
now offers $250 for the arrest and con
viction of .any or all of the thieves.

HE DIDN'T "GIT"
Until He Got Ready and Then He
Took a Freight.
The hero of this sketch is one of our
best known citizens. On a recent trip
he stoped off at Halsey, and proceeding
to the hotel, gave
his valise to a clerk,
and asked the land
lord when a certain
freight would go
out. The Boniface
said he couldn't go
out on it. The ir
relevant answer led
to a discussion,
which in turn led to
part of the hotel
man to the effect that he could not eat
supper there and ordered him to take
his umbrella and grip and "git." But
The Dalles man didn't "git" worth a
cent. In tact he not only stayed, but
got his supper and paid for it. The
next experience concerned the train. As
soon as the freight came in the following
conversation took place:
Want to go to Albany.
No sir.
Got to go ; important business.
Can't do it. Strict orders not to carry
any passengers. (Train starts.)
Here is the fare and one dollar more.
You'll have to get off, sir, at next sta
tion. I'll do it.
And he did it, but he got on again
when the train started, and got on and
off at every station until Albany was
reached.
The above actual events show the
force of character of Dalles people and
their singular faculty of pushing things
in defiance of all opposition. Verilv
they are hard to curry.
Recent advices Bay that the hotel man
is armed with a double-barreled shotgun,
and the conductor has secured a China
car for a tow, with a bit of barbed wire
to connect with his caboose.

Sheep Notes.
Thos. A. Rhea, who has been around
among Morrow county sheep men this
year, gives the following information :
W. S. Small of Miles City, Mont., and J.
N. Wadson of Calif, have bought 12,000
head of sheep, the former 6,000 year
lings, which he will ship from Wallula,
the latter 6,000 two-year-olds, to be
shipped from Reno, Nevada. Jas.
Wright of Tacoma bought 5,000 head
from Blake & Clay of Gilliam county
for the Sound market. Mr. Bedgar of
Pend?ton has also purchased 5,000 head
di sheep from parties in this section.
Mr. Rawson of Red Bluff wants 3,000 to
3,500 ewes, to be driven overland to
Montana. Frank Boyd of the same
place has bought 200 ewes and lambs
from Wasco parties. Sam Kinsman has
bought 4,000 to- 5,000 for the Sound
market. Ed R. Bishop, cashier of the
National bank of Heppner, has bought
10,000 head or. more for an eastern
driver. We are informed that buyers
are looking this way, now that our
prices are more reasonable, and it is
likely that but few sheep offered for
sale will remain at the end of the sea

The Defaulting Postmaster.
In regard to Canyon City's postofiice
defalcation the News will state for the
benefit of all parties the inspector ap
peared unexpectedly Tuesday morning
of last week, and began an investigation.
A shortage of about $2,500 was found in
the cash accounts. Deputy postmaster,
J. L. Parrieh, who was on a trip to Bear
valley, was sent for. Upon his return
he admitted having appropriated public
money to his own use, but said he didn't
think there was so much missing. The
bondsmen are John Muldrick, D. G.
Overholt, F. C. Sels, B- C. Trowbridge,
Peter Kuhl and Ed C. Allen. They
have made good the shortage and have
assumed control of the office until an
appointment can be made. Much re
gret is expressed that a young man
with such promises of the future should
go astray. But such is life. Grant Co.
