A very rare and beautiful blossom
opened at Mrs. Stubling's greenhouse
last night or early this morning. It was
a flower of the night-blooming cereus.
The blossom was about six inches in
length by four in breadth and was bell
shaped. It was of a creamy whiteness,
the center fillet with yellow silk-like
strands of grea't number. It is years in
blooming, and even then'' lasts only a
few hours. The blossom much resem

very handsome tokens of esteem by lady
tourists who, pleased with the courtesies
extended them by these boat officials,
thus showed their appreciation. The
gifts were solid silver umbrella clasps
with the owners' names engraved on
them. The gifts speak volumes for the
polite attentions of the boat officers to
patrons of the line, which has been a
great factor in inducing travel. People
who journey are appreciative of these
courtesies, for though they C0Bt nothing

A gentleman" who has just returned

recent sweeping change of sentiment for
McKinley, and believes the state will
without doubt give a big McKinley ma

who heretofore would as soon think of
sacrificing their right hand as to vote
for a Republican have announced their
intention to vote the Republican ticket.
They say if times were a little better
they might risk it another four years
and vote Democratic, but they want to
see prosperity again and will hence vote
with the party under whose rule , they
experienced a high, degree of prosperity.

never been such a crop of hay as this
year. He tells of the Riley Cattle Co.
letting a contract for 2000 tons of hay for
$1 a ton, and says the hay is so rank (it is
natural wild hay) and the- methods- for
putting up are so original, that the con
tractors, after-hiring and boarding the
men employed make a snug profit out of
the contract. The sheep men are feel
ing much bluer than their cattle 'col
leagues, and with good reason. Their
wool cup is tied up, and many cf them
are short of ready money to meet cur
rent expenses. " The principal industry
around Canyon City is 'gold mining.
Many men are at work and considerable
of the precious metal is being taken out
of the ground. Mr. Jacobsen says his
trip was without incident, barring his
two weeks' illness at Burns, and a tri
fling accident that happened to him
white fording a shallow-looking stream
in his light wagon. It was the usual
fording place, and residents of that
country paid no attention to it. He was
much surprised .to find on crossing that
the water was much deeper than it
looked, and many of .the things in the
wagon bed became damaged by becom
ing wet. He was further discomfited by
finding that the farther he went across
the stream the deeper the water became.
He elevated his feet to the dashboard,
and still the water roBe. The innocent
looking stream finally competed him to
stand on the seat before he reached the
opposite bank. He. afterwards found
that the wagon beds of that country
were built .higher than bis own. Mr.
Jacobsen, when asked about the politics
of Eastern Oregon, refused to be inter
viewed. He said his trip was purely for
business, that -he had been successful,
and that business and politics do not
mix". ' ,; '
