Mr. James M. Thomas while coming
through the company's yards yesterday
morning about 9 o'clock, discovered the
roof of one of the sheds near the round

it got a start, however, serious - damage
would have been done as everything is

R. E. Jacobson and a companion,

away. Their cries were heard as thev
passed Rufus, and, a telegram to Grants

was a lucky escape, for if it had hap

him the first thing we- noticed about
him was 'that he was badly marked
from small-pox, so badly, indeed, that
his face looked like a horse-radish
grater.

The nomination of Judge Lord for gov
ernor calls to naind an amusing and
possibly prophetic incident that occurred
some years ago on the Bull Run and
Sandy stage. He had been out on the
road and was returning to Portland,
when the driver, Leon Cohen, being in
somewhat of a hurry to reach the city
before dusk, touched up his horses with
the whip an'd put them through at a
lively rate. The wheels touched the
high and low spots in the road in euch
rapid succession as to severely test the
springs, and keep the occupant of the
stage bouncing about its interior like a
rubber ball. Finally the driver slack
ened his speed and Judge Lord thrust
his head out to expostulate,- but just
then the whip cracked again, the horses
jumped into a run, and aa the judge waa
jerked violently back into his seat, he
heard the driver shout : "My Lord, sit
still and you will get there."
The Water. -.
At Umatilla this morning the Colum
bia was 25 feet above low water mark, a
rise of 1.2 in twenty-four hours. At
Riparia tha Snake waa 20.2, a' rise of 6
inches since vesterdav morn inc. Hem
the rise from 5 o'clock last night to 8
o'clock this morning was iust a foot.
Reports from points in the interior show
conditions favorable to extreme high
water. This morning at Baker Citv the
thermometer stood at 66 at 6 o'clock.
while extremely high temperatures pre
vail all over the basins of the Columbia
and "Snake. Should present tempera
tures and conditions last for another
week, it is probable the high water
record will be made this year.
Tne Building; safe.
Some parents, we understand, are
afraid to let their children attend the
exercises at the opera house tomorrow
evening, fearing the foundations of the
building are not secure'. We are re

that he has just overhauled the opera
building, putting new sills under it, and
that it is perfectly safe, and able to stand
double the weight that can be gotten
into it.

THE MARKETS.
Fklday, May 25. There is a marked
improvement in the condition of trade
since last week. '-' Interior dealers and
consumers have . been more active in
purchases of all kinds of merchandise.
Prices continue steady in dry goods.
There has been no change in quota
tions in salt or sulphur. - The sugar and
coffee market continues steady, with a
firm tendency .v
The produce market is well supplied
and prices are unchanged in all lines
New peas are in market in limited quan
tities. Also strawberries are in moder
ate supply at nominal prices.
. The poultry market is only fairly sup
plied, and the demand is good for BDrinsr
cnickens. ..bggs are dull sale at any.
thing over 10 cents in trade. ,
The live stock market shows some ac
tivity, but margins belong to the past
Eastern buyers are in the interior se
curing mutton at quotations ransint?
trom 1.35 to if 1.50 per head.
Good beef steers are in better favor.
and some buyers declare it to be a diffi
cult matter to make large gatherings.
and that an upward tendency is anti
cipated in the near future.
Stock cattle and horses are dull sale.
and the demand is limited.
The. cereal question is devoid of in
terest, any further than the market,
both at home and abroad, is exceedingly
dull, and judging from reports from Eu
rope, there is but little to base predic
tions on. Large shipments from Russia,
India and the Argentine, together with
Australia, is like a wet blanket and
chills the market fervor in the foreign
grain centers. Our New York market
letter still hopes for an improvement in
quotations soon, and the producers will
make an inning rather than further aid
to the consumers and their allies.
The wool receipts for the past week
have been light in consequence of rains
in the interior, but tne last two days
show an improvement in arrivals. - The
movement for shipment is very light
and sales are limited. The transactions
made sa far are on the free wool 'basis.
and 7 to 75 is the range. The Rrtfn
Advertiser of the 18th says : Oregon
wools are held steady on the best terri
tory grades which are the scoured basis.
v ool baga are steady at 40 cents.

' A Rocky Play.
Evans and Sontag strutted the stage
of the Baldwin opera house last night
before an audience of perhaps seventy
five. The lesson conveyed by the play
is perhaps the worst that could be
taught. Chris Evans and John Sontag
are presented in the light of heroes
whose example is worthy of emulation.
The friendship' between the outlaws is
made much of, and . the pursuit of the
criminals is held up as persecution
The criminals are the heroes and the
officers of the law who pursued and cap
tured them are the heavy villains of the
play. There are one or jlwo fair actors
in the troupe, but as there was nothing
in the play, their talents were not called
into requisition. John Sontag furnished
the music, being the individual orches
traV and the way he assassinated the
piano between acta reconciled the audi
ence to his death.
The play ia calculated to do immeas
urable damage, for the American youth
has his mind easily fired, to deeds of
bravado like unto the Visalia bandits.
Ashland and Eugene were right in re
fusing the troupe a license, and the bal
ance of the towns which they are billed
for will do well to follow that example.
The most amusing part of the whole
performance was that when the curtain
went down in a blaze of red lights, shut
ting out the tableau of Chris Evans
making an unsuccessful attempt to die,
while his wife and daughter, with their
Sunday clothes on, grouped with the
detectives who shot him and seemed to
be enjoying the situation, the audience
sat still until the manager came out and
told them that wajS the end of the play.
It showed that everybody had read up
on Evans and Sontag, and expected to
see him tried, to have his escape from
and return to prison -and final trip to
Folsom, all faithfully portrayed. .
