This is one of the days when, accord
lng to the ancient superstition, there is
a wedding in hades. The sun would
shine just long enough to get one out
without an umbrella and then the rain
would come down as the waters did at
' Lodore. - It ia surely a generous rain,
and if the weather clerk will keep the
temperature up for a few weeks after the
rain ceases, it will prove of inestimable
benefit.
Mr. Leslie, formerly of Sherman coun
ty, but who has been mining on the

most of the summer, is in the city. He
showed us the result of two days work
with a small rocker, the amount being
about $2. With a set of sluice boxes
properly equipped and a good head of
water, he ought to have as certain a
thing as McKinley.
The apple crop in this section is per
haps as poor a one as has ever been
known here, yet our orchardists can
console themselves with the fact that
the crop in the United States is the
largest ever known, and the prices the
lowest. Apples shipped to England
have only netted 40 cents per barrel and
they are a drug in the market at $1 per
barrel. Good apples on this coast still
bring from $1.50 to $2 per box, but it is
only the freight rates that prevent im
portation and keep the prices up.

Appropriation for Surveys.
In conversation with the chief clerk of
the surveyor general's cffice recently,
he informed me that the regular appro
priation for surveys in Oregon was now
available, and that while he had caused
a statement to that effect to be pub
lished, no petitions had been sent in so
far, except two from Western Oregon.
The appropriation amounts to some
thing over $13,000 and settlers in East
ern Oregon, who reside on unsurveyed
lands and desire a survey, should at once
write to the surveyor general's office'
for information and blank petitions,
which, on being properly filled out as to
township, range and sections, fractional
or otherwise, arid forwarded to the sur
veyor general, will receive due attention.
Eastern Oregon has for some years re
ceived a very small quantity of the
money expended for surveying, and
a liberal circulation of this item by the
newspapers will result in a fair propor
tion of the appropriation being distrib
uted here.

Superintendent
The condition of this city with regard
to its street lighting is simply disgrace
ful. We do not pretend to know where
the blame lies, but we state an undeni
able fact. These cloudy nights, the
blackness of Egypt would compare favor
ably with our back streets. Electric
lights may not' be available, but if not,
at least the old ccal oil land marks
would be a great improvement on pres
ent conditions. One might obtain his
bearings from them at least, and man
age to keep on the sidewalks part of the
time. If nothing better can be done
why not import a few lightning bugs or.
glow-worms, and put them in glass bot
tles on the street corners. What good
are our churches, or what benefit our
sermons, if the concentrated blackness
causes one-half our citizens to fall into
ways of profanity over a suddenly
barked shin or a. foot plunged a foot and
a half into some treacherous puddle?
Why longer stumble home like a lot of
helpless inebriates in the dark when a
little, just a little, light would so cheer
the dreary way? Why condemn our
wives and our best girls to remain in
doors as soon as the sun goes down just
for the lack of a few gallons of coal oil?
Why boast of civilization if we cannot
provide ourselves better than our pre
decessor?, the tan-colored denizens of
tne ancient WishramTf They had no
treacherous sidewalks to join forces with
the darkness to a man's undoing; they
had no sardonic street crossings, lying
fair and enticing across a sea of mud,
waiting, only waiting to dodge the too
trustful pedestrians; their wives, wid
ows and sweethearts had no dollar-a-yard,
ten-yards-to-the-skirt garments
to be draggled through the mire; their
feet were bare, and Mill creek handy.
Of what use is a sidewalk that we can
not find, and a crosswalk .that makes a
successful sneak in the darkness? Of
what use is shoe-blacking, at ten cents a
box, when a street full of mud, for noth
ing, rises up to overwhelm it? Of what
benefit are the-eyes of lovely and lova
ble female sex, if they cannot eee with
them, nor we see them?
Are we going to put up with this
all winter? Are we dumb slaves to. the
imps of darkness, blind cs justice and as
uncertain of foot as old Silenus? Nayl
mayi famine. jNitl .Not on your
lifel Are we to continue our shin
barking, mud-plunging, profanity-pro
voking course of rayless, gloomy and un
mitigated woe? I should smile notl
We will all stay at home first. City
fathers, your children beseech you; thi
prayers of the wet-footed and the
snuffles of the cold-bestricken appeal to
you. All, All, demand light. Nothing
brilliant, nothing gorgeous, nothing
gaudy, nothing that will blind the
vision, or send the rays of glory skyward
to be wasted in the ethereal elsewhere.
No, no. Just a few faint gleams from
the street corners, a stray ray or two of
gladsome light glimmering through the
Diacic curtains of Stygian night.
Lord. The proclamation in full is as
follows:
. "For tbe manifold blessings vouchsafed
to us during the past year, it is fitting
that we, as a grateful people, should
make due acknowledgments to Almighty
God. In recognition of this duly, and
in conformity with a time-honored cus
tom, and in accordance with the proc
lamation of tbe president of tbe United
States, I, William P. Lord, governor of
tbe state of Oregon, do designate and
set apart Thursday, the 26th day of No
uember, 1896, as Thanksgiving day.
"On that day I recommend that the
people abstain, as far as practicable,
from the occupations of every-day life,
and that they, assemble in their usual
places of worship and offer praise and
thanksgiving to God for the peace and
prosperity bestowed upon us, for the
health and happiness with which be has
blessed us, and for our freedom from
pestilence and calamities. Let us also
devote tbe day to the enjoyment of hos
pitality and the strengthening of family
ties; to relieving the wants of tbe needy
and distressed, and the tbe doing of
charitable deeds; to inspiring senti
ments of loyalty to our country, and re
epect for its laws and the maintenance
of public order; to cultivating a just re
gard for the rights and ' opinions of
others, and inculcating a sense of duty
that will lead us to fulfill as far as lies in
our power, our obligations as citizens
and individuals."
Probably Murdered for Money.
It is believed tbe tramp found dead at
Weston a few days ago was killed the
night tbe flouring mills burned at that
place, Monday, October 19th. At that
time, Section Foreman Wright saw
three men around a camp fire in tbe
hobo thicket, and heard them talking
loudly. Next morning Agent Wolf saw
a car link in the road leading to the
depot, this having doubtless been
dropped after the coupling pin was se
cured. Two of the men, it is thought,
murdered their companion in his sleep,
having ascertained that he possesaed
money or valuables. East Oregonian.
