disheartening job, but Borie is staying

A number of teams are engaged in

to the boat landing the . braces are an
unmitigated nuisance.

verdict of guilty. ' Sentence was pro

Mr. R. J. Ginn, who. passed through
on his way east Wednesday, tells us
that Sherman county has been carefully
canvassed and . shows 98,000 acres of
wheat, J,hat will yield at the very lowest
estimate sixteen bushels to the acre, or
1,568,000, bushels. Wheat is quoted as
somewhat firmer, and it .is probable a
price will be reached and maintained ,at
railroad points in Sherman, of not less
than 50 cents per bushel. . . ' . 1 '
J . B, Mullay, deputy collector of cus
toms, has been, at Grant getting the
alcohol together that was lost out of the
warehouse at Grant. All but one barrel
was recovered. Ten barrels were found
in a drift pile. The fact that the dis
tillery had gone out and the alcohol was
n the river, is in our opinion, the cause
of the tremendous run of salmon. A
salmon that won't eat for six months is
bound to drink for he must have. a stimulant.-

Aiier a season ot illness of two or
three weeks, which was more aggravat
ing than serious, I will once more give
yon a few notes of interest.
, many tnings oi interest have come
and gone while I was una Die to commun
icate them. Some, yon received indi
rectly, which were very correctly given,
Dut naif was not told.
The. wreck of our little town, caused
by high waters, is a thing unthought of
until it came upon us.. The erist mill
at the upper end of town Is incapacitated
for grinding by the flumes being en
tirely demolished, but .the mill itself
stands unharmed.. Afterthe water had
done its work of destruction at the mill.
in its mad fury it came on tearing its
Dans to pieces, until there were several
hundred feet of James Chamberlain's
lot coursing its way down stream, and
tne lot is almost entirely spoiled and his
house left within a few feet of the bank.
But for the energy of some of our men
oi town and three or four sheep-shearers
who lent a helping hand, it would have
been somewhere among the debris that
lay high in drifts in many places below
here. O. S. Board man is the next in
me stream's way, and with an angry
toss of its waves, thick with mud, it
seemed to smile at the attempt to change
its course from his lot, but with a howl
almost as of a demon, 'on it went uproot
ing poplars that - made the one bright
spot in town and servedas a landmark
miles away.' His orchard was greatly
damaged, .many trees being torn from
their roots and carried away. His gar
den also suffered seriouB damage. Al
Campbell and R. E. Misner being next
below, each had a small barn, cow sheds
and chicken houses among the ' de
stroyed. W. H. Sassers new building
is the next in the course of the' stream,
and before the water went down "their
back yard was almost entirely carried
away and' a bank of .twelve or fifteen
feet is left almost at their door.
. Before the high water the channel of
the stream from bank to bank must
have been from 25 to 50 feet, and now
the banks are from 50 to 100 feet. The
entire ' school grounds are .carried away,
and, as has been reported, the school
house Btands on end at the bottom of
the creek, but, as if satisfied with stand
ing the schoolhouse on end, the channel
soon changed, and now the house is
high and dry on a gravel bar.
- There can hardly - be an , estimate of
the loss our town baa sustained by high
water.
green with luxurious growths and vege

are expressed that the work of destruc
tion is not 'yet at an fend. Con
tinual clouds hang over us and heavy
rainfalls and cloudbursts are a daily oc
currence. As I write the sky is heavily
overcast by very threatening clouds and
thunder is rumbline in the dinrnnro
Three days in succession we have been
visited by heavy "thunder showers, and
today another in prospect. Already the
ground is thoroughly water-soaked, on
account of which hay and grain are not
doing well.
C Mr. Seigfort, the stage driver from
Canyon to this place, reports several
heavy rainfalla and -waterspouts near
Canyon City that passed through many
places with damaging effect, covering
others with sand and gravel to the
depth of several feet, tearing some to
pieces, and carrying houses and barns

The lovely month of roses, Is beautiful June,
When the little feathered songsters are iu full

Spring tabes her exit, and summer's here,
In all her glory, she comes once a year.
Longer days and shorter nights she brings in
her train,
And plenty of hot, sultry -weather again.

about bee swarming.
