The Harney Times says it is believed
that the Harney county populists will
nominate an entirely independent ticket
at the coming election, that party hav

The committee of physicians who were
sent out to pass on the eanitary condi
tions of the various points for the location
of the branch asylum made their report
yesterday. It covers sixteen pages of
type written matter and goes into the
subject in an exhaustive manner. After
a thorough examination by the board
which will recmire some length of time
several days will elapse before a de
cision is reached.
At a meeting of tbe East Dalles Hose
Co., held last night a committee was ap
pointed to wait on the city council at
their next regular meeting and represent
to them the necessity of procuring a bell
for the company hose house. The one
now in use is so badly cracked that it
cannot be heard two blocks away and
the tone of it at that distance could
hardly be taken for a fire bell. A com
mittee was also appointed to make ar
rangements for their first annual ball,
which will be held on Feb. 14th, notice
of which will be given soon.
F. H. Lewis, tbe defaulting telegraph
er who made himself conspicuous in this
city, and was arrested by the Western
Union Telegraph company last fall, has
at last accounts turned np in Denver.
He went to St. Louis and worked on the
sympathies of the telegraph union tell
ing them his wife had just died in Ore
gon and he needed money to bring the
remains east and the result of this plea
was effectual. The deception worked
to a charm and be got the money. His
wife was not dead, but really was in
Portland waiting for a remittance to
take ber to bim.
Eminent geologists have maintained
for many years that the Inland Empire
was once covered by a great inland sea,
tbe water being held by some obstruction
near what is known to us as the "Cas
cades." Our authority in such matter,
Col. Sinnott, disputes part of this theory
and claims that when he first came to
this country the salmon ascended the
river in such numbers during the spawn
ing season as to raise the water thous
ands of feet on the mountain sides. We
have found no one who disputes this
fact. .
One night last week a big lynx made a
raid on a band of Phil Brogan's sheep,
and before the herders discovered it the
brute . bad killed and smothered twenty
bead of fine ewes.- Hearing tbe racket,
Alfred Graa8ner, the herder, took a lan
tern and a shot gan and hied him self
hither. The light of thejantern blinded
the eyes of the lynx and he became an
easy victim for Mr. Grassner's gun. It
was tbe largest amimal of this species
ever seen in this country, and is sup
posed to be the same that has killed so
many sheep and chickens in Lower An
telope daring the past couple of years.

PROMISES HELP.
Antelope Anxious to Have a Scouring
Mill at Tbe Dalle.
A' scouring mill will, soon be es
tablished at Pendleton, and the sheep
men of Umatilla county are considerably
agitated over the project. It will enable
them to make their industry a great
deal more lucrative in the future, inas
much as they will not be compelled to
ship so many tons of dirt and grease to
the eastern markets with their wool
every year. A similar institution should
be erected at The Dalles by all means,
and we believe that if the tariff is left
on wool every sheep owner in this part
of the country would be glad to take
shares of stock in it. Thousands
and thousands , of pounds of wool
are shipped from The Dalles every seas
on, about 6S per cent, of which is dirt
and grease. .. Why not establish a scour
ing mill at that place and keep the
money which is now paid to the railroad
companies, at home, where it will be
circulated amongst our people and in
vested in local enterprises. If some
responsible party or parties would take
the lead in this matter, the project could
easily be accomplished. We hope to
see this kind of an institution estab
lished in' the near future. Antelope
Herald.
The majority of all the wool raised in
Eastern Oregon is handled at this point,
and with the erection of a ecouring mill
there would be more. It will be only a
matter of a short time till the river is
opened, when by competition freight
tariffs will be merely nominal, which
will be a perpetual advantage that
The Dalles will enjoy over Pendleton.
With all these considerations it would
seem that a scouring mill is almost
thrust upon us. We should be glad to
have some of our capitalists consider
this question and if there is anything in
it, establish the industry. When the
locks are opened, The Dalles will take
rank as an inland seaport, and is capable
of immense growth.
LITTLE CURIOUS THINGS.
Jumbo's bones weighed exactly 2,400
pounds after every shred of flesh had
been cleaned from them.
The hat worn by Napoleon at the
battle of Eylau was sold in Paris in
1835 for a sum equal to $400 in United
States currency.
One of the most prized relics belong

It was taken at Bowling Green.
The poet Shelly feared 'being' buried
alive. In order to guard against it he
ordered bis heart removed. This queer
relic is still preserved at Bascombe
manor, Bournemouth, England.
The thimble was first called the
"thumb bell," because used on the
thumb instead of upon the, finger, as at
present. "Thimble," therefore, is ob
viously a contraction of "thumb bell."
The sultan of Turkey is a mono

five hundred of all makes and kinds.
Trajan, the Roman emperor, had a
palace sunken under Lake Nemi. It

It used to be the custom in England
for pheasants to feed from boxes which
opened when the bird stood on a rail
in front, the box shutting to again as
soon as the bird left the rail.- By this
device the food was protected from all
manner of thieves. It so happened,
according to Bishop Stanley, of Nor
wich, that a coot or wa tar-hen had
studied the movements of the pheas
ants, and being anxious to get its meals
as easily as they got theirs it tried the
box one day. As it was not heavy
enough to raise the lid, it kept jump
ing on the rail to give extra force to
its weight; still the result was not sat
isfactory. Accordingly, it went away,
but returned soori with another coot.
The weight of the two birds was now
sufficient to cause the box to open.

ADJOURN OR FIGHT.
That
Was the Problem
Convention Today.
at the
The Regulation Democratic Harmony
with, the Usual Accessories Warm
" Words Over Trivial Matters.
About seventy-five delegates to the
democratic state convention are in the
city today. Many arrived during the
night from points east and s west, but
the greater number arrived today from
Portland, Forest Grove, McMinhville,
etc., on the accommodation train.
These were met at the Umatilla
houBe by the city band, and were
welcomed by many leading democrats
of the city. Members of Tammany and
Jefferson clubs of Portland were dis
tinguishable by their silk badges, but
others were merely decorated by tall
hats and a genial smile.
Tbe procession headed by The Dalles
band formed in the rain and marched to
tae court house. Justice Schutz ad
vanced to the front and gave an address
of welcome on behalf of Wasco county
democrats, J. L. Story spoke for the
Cleveland club. Both speeches were
well received and hearty applause fol
lowed each. Secretary C. N. Wait, of
Portland called the convention to order
and called for nominations for temporary
chairman. There was a lull before the
storm and then it broke. A youth named
Gates was first on the floor and
in a very pretty speech nominated
M. V. Harrison of Hood River, and ex
tolled his virtues. R. L. Head of Port
land, seconded it. R. L. Hayden.editor
of the Portland Catholic- Sentinel, nomi
nated W. F. Butcher, late candidate for
presidential elector. After much dis
cussion as to how they should vote,
the viva voce method was finally
adopted, M. V. Harrison received 26
votes while Mr. Butcher had only 17,
and so they escorted Mr. Harrison to
the chair. He made a neat speech of
thanks. R. L. Hayden of Portland, was
elected secretary. Mr. Hayden is a man
who can't be bluffed..'
The chair appointed as a committee
on credentials Pat Powers,. J. H. Cradle
baugh, H. P. McGuire, R. L. Head and
Emil Schutz. At this point the fun
commenced. The bomb shell was
thrown and the fuse lighted by Secre
tary Hayden, who questioned .the right
of R. L. Head to sit in the convention
and serve on the committee of creden
tials. The discussion waxed warm and
warmer in spite of all conciliatory
speeches, such as calling all opponents
"Those damned republicans who have
been usurping the office of righteous
democrats." Flowery speeches wafted
through the air till the whole atmos
phere had a floral tinge. The bottles of
eloquence were uncorked and words
flowed in mellifluous streams. There
was one gentleman whose portrait at
particular points in his speech we would
like to show. W; F. Butcher declared
that "The republicans are here watch
ing us make asses of ourselves." It was
lots of fun for the republicans.
Mr. Head, when his eligibility was
questioned withdrew from the com
mittee. ,His friends refused to allow
him. Chas. A. Petran moved that the
committee as appointed by the chair be
approved by the convention. More dis
cussion and more discussion and still
more discussion followed, till the pros
pects for an all night session were bright.
Finally J. H. Cradlebaugh settled things
by moving to adjourn till 4 o'clock.
This opinion prevailed and the conven
tion broke up. Tomorrow we will tell
you what they did after 4 o'clock.
Settlement Requested.
During my absence, t. who have un
