he is waving his handkerchief, too,' ah

Stole Children's Possessions.
Sometimes ' what seems ' smart turns
out to be pitiably contemptible. Last
spring a woman living ,2) miles west
of Hood River planted four hills of
watermelons in the garden to please the
children, and by. chance -there grew
thereon thirty fine melons. 'But before
the children had a chance to enjoy any
of them some bright young gentlemen
went in the night and helped them
selves to all the best in the patch. The
next morning the children contemplated
the destruction with quivering lips, and
heavy hearts.' The sorrows of childhood
are just as distressing, though of a dif
ferent nature, as those of their elders.
Who can "measure the pleasure of an
ticipation and' speculation those little
ones enjoyed while watching the melon
vines lengthen and bloom, noting daily
the increasing size' of the fruit thereon
till', just as they 'approached maturity
they were abstracted while they inno
cently slept. Let us be charitable
enough to hope the thieves did not think,
of this. : - ; ' : '

Four Saccesslre Clondbnrsts . Around
Mitchell With Continuous

The storm of.las't Sunday and Monday
was especially vigorous in the southern
part of this and. in .Crook county. Mr.
A. S. Mac. Allister who hag just returned
from his ranch tells of water being a foot
deep over a level field, which descended
from the heavens, like a broad sheet.
ine storm was attended by : incessant
lightning flashes',' and was in all respects
like a genuine eastern -water spent and
thunder storm combined. All old rest
dents say they never saw anything' like
it. The .roads leading to Bridge creek
were washed out of existence and the it
became a ' raging torrent. The stage
driver was compelled ' to abandon the
stage and earried the mail on horseback.
At Mitchell the. dam and flume at" the1
mill was destroyed, as" well as a foot
bridge. A wagon with its load of lum
ber on the creek bottom was taken down
the stream. ; Low-lying fields of water
melon and pumpkin vines were over
flowed, ana the melons and pumpkins
scattered '. .through the ' sage brash.
There were fear cloudbursts, in succes
sion. Sunday night, and it is thought..!
they had fell in combined force there
would have been much greater loss!
The following day- the rainfall, though
continuous, was moderate in . volume:
xo aamage was done to-, tne- hay crop
as that had been harvested. -
Cut It Remained Tor Cleveland
" . ' ,-Carry: Out the Act.
to
A bostile.sheet recently contained the
following: . - ' . -v . '
The sheepralsers who are' so bitterlv
denouncing President Cleveland because
the Cascade forest ..reserve is closed to
their flocks should bear in mind that
the bill creating the forest reserve was
passed and approved during. President
Harrison's administration. That was
indeed a protection administration to
the extent that it sought to protect the
grass in the mountains against the en
croachments of sheep's teeth.
The act referred to, which was passed
and approved in March, 1891, merely
authorized the.president to set apart cer
tain lands in this district as a forest re
serve, ueiag his own -judgment and dis
cretion as to the boundaries. - In garri
son's judgment, and discretion it' must
have been his opinion that a forest re
serve in Oregon was not a good thing,
for he did not set apart a single acre for
such a purpose. It. remained for his
successor, .President Cleveland,- to do
that, for in " September, 1893, he made
the proclamation,. now so troublous, es
tablishing the reserve -and 'fixing, the
boundaries thereof.' So if it was a job a
Democratic president consummated it.
Harrison' did not. " -- :

One of the illustrations, an original
