There is a giant ten and a half feet
high in the country above Canton in
China, and an American showman has
lately been trying in vain to induce him
to travel. The big fellow is ashamed of
himself for being bo unduly long, and
does not care to become an exhibit. A
seven-foot giant is considered a good
deal of a fellow, and they have been few
and hard to find on this mundane
sphere. Boston Transcript.
About 3:20 this morning Portland was
.visited by a single earthquake shock of
brief duration. The Oregonian reports
' that the shock, though' over in almost a
moment, attracted and alarmed the
people who noticed and felt it, because
, of the deep rumbling noise that accom
panied, a thing new with such phenom
ena here. The night clerk at the Per
kins felt it, and said the . vibration of
the building was felt so plainly as to
waken some of the hotel's guests. The
Southern Pacific office reports that the
shock was felt as far south as Salem.
Woodburn telegraphed that the . Bhock
there was perceptibly felt. - -
An inhuman spectacle was witnessed
near Wedderburn, laBt week. A thing
in human ebape called William Goff,
captured an eagle by breaking one of its
wings and a leg, afterwards arranging a
fight to the death with two dogs. The
eagle was large and powerful, measur
ing over seven feet, and the battle lasted
more than an hour, at the end of which
time the bird lay dead on a feather-covered
field. Moro Observer.
The Oregonian makes the charge that
within the last week from 300 to 400
toughs, many of them desperate, have
arrived in Portland for the sole purpose
of voting the Frank-Hume-Minto ticket
at the primaries today. These hoboes
have been given the tip. to come to
Portland and they . have swarmed, in
from. Tacoma, Seattle, Port Townsend
and other places without fear of .moles
tation or of being sent to the rockpile,
and that they are there under police
protection.
The Portland Telegram eays that re
turning parties from McMinnville,
where excitable stories abound regard
ing the new tinda of gold there, have not
eo much to tell regarding the discoveries
of oie as the attitude of the people tow
ard strangers. There ia said to be a de
cided disinclination to gt?e out informa
tion regarding the ore, and the people
are actually opposed to newcomers in
vading the place and creating a boom.
A game called "Editor's Delight," al
though quite new, is worth playing and
should become popular at this season of
the year. The plan Is this: Take
ordinary sheet of white paper, fold can
fully and inclose a bank note sufficient!
large to pay all arrearages and one yea!
in advance. What adds immensely t
the pleasure of the game is to send along
the name of a new subscriber or two, ac
companied by the cash. Keep you"r eye
on the editor, and if a smile adorns hie
face, which is almost certain, you win
the game. . .
The Elks met in Fraternity hall Sat
urday night, and by an oversight some
of the property of the lodge, was not
placed under lock. The next: day the
hall being used for other purposes, some
party or parties rummaged among them,
exposing them to the view of others,
and then, not content, carried the newa
of their discoveries to the etreets. It is
idle to Bay that those who receive proper
home , training will not meddle with
what does not' concern them, for they
already know it, and those who have
not, cannot appreciate it. No, harm can
accrue to the Elks from an exhibit of
their paraphernalia, but one who peers
through , keyholes, and windows,. or in
vades privacies where they have no busi
ness or interest, can. never regain the
respect of theimeighbors.

C. H. Gray, capitalist, A. T. Griffin,
attorney, and Emil H. King?, mining
expert, are the names of three Chicago
gentlemen who arrived in the city Sun
day, and left Tuesday for the Ochoco
country, where they have mining inter
ests. It is learned that Mr. Klugg - was in
that country a year ago investigating
the merits of some recently discovered
gold-bearing quartz mines, and his re
port must have been highly 'satisfactory
to cause Mr. Gray to come out here,bring
ing with him a Chicago attorney to
attend. to- the question of title
and draw up the incorporation papers.
In fact Mr. Klugg stated to a gentleman
of this city that the prospects were as
good as any he ever saw, and that is say
ing a great deal for a man of his exper
ience. Further corroborations of the
excellence of the ore and ita quantity is
found in the fact that the machinery to
reduce the ore baa been ordered and is
now on the way to The Dalles' from Chi
cago. . The Prineville country so far has been
free from any great mining boom, but
the above facts would seem to be quite
likely to precipitate one in the near
future. - . . , .
jFrnlt Prospects.
The weather of the past few days hast
not been cold enough to destroy the
fruit buds, and unless something un-j
usual in that line happens, there will!
be a tremendous output of fruit in Wasco
county. ' Mr. P. J. Stadelman Bays thera
will be a profitable demand for good
fruit the coming season, and Mr
Schanno, speaking upon that subject
says that Alaeka will from this on fur
nish a constantly growing market f
fruit, especially winter apples.
e trouble is thatTrgTeateaTbf fruit
raised by the growers ia next to worth
less. Some standard variety should be
selected, and enough trees planted of
one kind to-make it an object to pur
chasers. There is no danger of over
stocking the market. The best grade of
apples are now selling for $2 a box, as
good a figure as ever before, and the
yield increases greatly each year. When
a fruit grower hears of some one about
to plant 160 acres of orchard it should
not cause him alarm that the price for
fruit will drop because of the increased
yield. If every acre in Wasco county
capable of nourishing a fruit tree were
planted to a single variety of some good
winter-keeping apple, there wonld be
no trouble about selling every box of.
the fruit. The competition would, not
be among the growers, but among the
buyers, ; who would. . be .here from : all
over the western half of the United
States to buy, WaBco county apples.
'. Mark Levy, the commission man of
Portland had a- letter yesterday from a
Hood River grower, who writes: "Have
had .very.' severe" weather up here; the
thermometer went . down to 32 degrees.
The peaches will have to be steel clad
and copper fastened to withstand that."
"The fruits," said Mr. 'Levy, "that
will be chiefly damaged by the frost are
the peaches and strawberries apples
not - being far enough advanced yet.
When fruit is in full bloom, as it ia now,
it doesn't take much to catch it."
B. S. Pague, of the weather bureau,
takes a very optimietic view of the freeze
up, and Bconta the idea that it has done
any serious damage. Mr. Pague thinks
that the frost l has merely pruned the
blossoms and will not affect the fruit to
any extent, aa the tress are now too
heavily loaded with blossoms.
McCoy rlteh All Right.
Mr. W. G. Kerns returned from th
.Wapinitia country today, and confirms
all previous reports as to the celerity of
work on the McCoy ditch. ' A feeling of
security- is now - apparent " sjnoug all,
caused from seeing a large force of men
daily pushing the work.- - Mr. Ehricbsen,
the contractor, ia vet firm in his predic
tion . that the. work will be finished in
ninetyjdays, and the work as progressing
now certainly warrants the belief. This
ditch, when completed, will open out a
large and valuable stretch of country to
agriculture and horticulture, which will
quadruple ia value when nnder water.
Mr. Kerns also reports there is, shortly
to be erected ' near Wapinitia a sawmill
of 20,000 feet daily capacity. It is to be
greeted on the MacD. Lewis place.

Trouble Over a Fish Wheel.
Jacobson Book & Music Co.
jnd Harry Liebe.
i, John Gomez, a well-known river fish
erman of Spanish i descent, and J. T.
Rorick, justice of the peace at Rockland,
have conflicting interests ae to fishing
rights, which culminated this morning
in the arrest of Gomez by Rorick. He
was arrested and released twice, and at
last accounts was again re-arreeted, and
whether at this moment he is nnder ar
rest or at liberty is a matter of conject
ure. Gomez has a fish wheel across the
river, upon which Rorick claims a mort
gage. This morning a force of -men un
dertook to cross the river to perform
some work upon the wheel, when they
were forbidden; to land. They: landed,
however, -and began work.. They, were
then ordered not 'to work. The trouble
come into court.
