There was but one jury trial this term
of court, that of Oaburn,and that has not
yet been tried. It was expected it would
be called up today, but circumstances
prevented.
Lon Stevens has been missing for two
or three days, but no attempt has been
made to recover his body from the river,
as it is not supposed he went that route,
but preferred the cars.
The trial of Osburn was hung up this
afternoon. Dufur & Menefee were his
attorneys, but. Dufur is in Salem, and
Menefee sick, so that he being unable to
procure other counsel, his case is in odd
shape.

T. W. Davenport, of Salem, who hae'!
been quite ill, ia now considered to be'
out of danger. When ho was at his
worst a telegram was sent to his son,
Homer Davenport, the artist, announc-l
ing the condition of his father, and the
eon is now on his way to Salem, being
expected, to reach there in a few days.'
The masquerade suits arrived from
Portland yesterday, and are now dis
played at Skibbe's hotel, where they can
oe examined and rented. First come
first served ia the only rule possible, and
the earlier you get there the greater
selection you will have to choose from.
The dance comes ofE tomorrow night and
suits will be on exhibition until that
time unless eoonor taken.
There was no change in the situation
tion at Salem today, and it seems evi
dent that mattera will drift through to
the end of the aeeaion in their present
coudltion. Then the moat prpbable
wove will be for tjhe joint convention to
take a ballot, and certify that Mitchell
has received the majority of the votes
cast by members of the legislature, and
and thup throw the fight into the United
States senate.
Cal Douglas, who was indicted for as
saulting Jim Fisher, first entered a plea
of not guilty, but withdrew it and en
tered a plea of guilty of simple assault.
Several of our leading citlzans showed
that Douglas was a young man of ex
ceptionally good character, and that
while he broke the law, lie had been
aggravated almost beyond endurance.
The court evidently took this view of it,
and imposed a fiiie of $76, which Was
promptly paid.
The rain commenced falling yesterday
at noon at Portland, and about seven
o'clock the rain clouds swept down over
the mountains from the West, and a
genuine spring raiu commenced falling
here. There was a steady fall all night
and for that matter nearly all day.
Whether the opening of the locks has
had anything to do with it or not, it is
undoubtedly true that since that time we
have had just the same quality of weath
er that Western Oregon boasts.
All members of The Dalles Commer
cial club are requested to be at the club
rooraB at 7 :30 this evening. Col. Loveli,
the engineer to examine the right of way
on the portage road, and to make an es
timate of its cost, will be present, and
the matter will be discussed. It is of vast
importance to Eastern Oregon that this
road be built, and prompt and energetic
action should be taken to assist the sen
atorial committee in everyway possible
in getting the information it desires.

v Tlfe entertainment advertised to be
giyen by the "men folks" at the Meth
odist church tomorrow night, has been
postponed .or one week. The reason
given for the delay is the impossibility
of getting a supply of clams, which were
to be one of the features of the culinary
display. This Is.a pretty Bhrewd excuse,
but we fancy that Parrot's cake sagged
in the middle, aud that some of the
other gentlemen who were going to fur
nish cakes want time to trade off their
first experiment for sinkers to the stur
geon fiBhere.
Some of the cattle buyers in Wallowa
entertain the opinion that there will be
plenty of fat cattle ready for market
soon, basing their prediction, no doubt,
on the fact that so many feeders were
sent out last fall, says tho Wallowa
Chieftain. The late action of feeders
renders this very doubtful. As fast as
the cattle get ready for market feeders
send them in. In fact, many are being
marketed before they are in good con
dition, which shows that either owners
are pressed for money or that they are
satisfied with present returns. Strictly
fat cattle are notably scarce in all quar
ters, and the supply is not likely to get
much . larger within the next few
months.
His Haud Bitot Away.
Glen Osgood, a 10-yer-old boy ot
Columbia, had his left baud shot off
yesterday about 1 o'clock, while out
hunting with two companions, Christine
Nelson and his brother, says the Seattle
Times. The accident occured while
a playing attempt was oeing made onl
the part of Osgood to hold up his two
companions, in the style of a highway
man, with two old pistols. Christine
Nelson, who carried a 10-bore, single
barrel shotgun, while playfully resent
ing the attempted hold-up, accidentally
fired the gun, which was charged heavily
with powder and 22 bnckshot, the con
tents entering Osgood's left hand, at
close range, near the wrist and complete
ly teaming away the hand with the ex
ception of a a shred of flesh which clung
from the little finger.

INDIAN ENOCH'S WEALTH.
Old Man Will Cay Claim to 130 Acre
in the Heart of Spokane.
A new factor will enter into the cele
brated contest for the title to 120 acres
in the heart of Spokane, which has
been waged with exceeding bitterness in
the United States court for the past
eight years. The contest during that
period has been between H. T. Cowley
and the Northern Pacific railroad com
pany. The history ot the case is one of the
most interesting in the annals of the
Northwest, and the immense value of
land, amounting to about $1,500,000,
makes it n prize worth fighting for.
Now Indian Enoch, the original owner
of the land, is about to step in and
claim it, nnd if his story is true, which
there is little reason to doubt, as Enoch
apparently has very conclusive evidence
to back up his statements, there is a
strong prospect that the old Indian,
who is a familiar figure to the people of
Spokane, will blossom out as one of the
leading capitalists in the Northwest,
and there will be few men in the state
richer than old Enoch.
The new claimant for this valuable
tract of land deeded it to the Northern
Pacific railroad company for $2,000
under a contract with Paul Schulze,
then western land agent of the com
pany, that he (Enoch) was to have a
new homestead down on the Little
Spokane, and that if when it was sur
veyed it w. as found to be railroad land,.
,the company was to give him a deed to
it. Old Enoch moved on to the home
stead, and lived there for years, until a
few monthB ago when the company sold
liis home in violation of the agreement.
He now askB for a restoration of his
land in the city of Spokane.
Final Kepoi-t of the Grand Jury.
In the circuit court of the state of Ore
gon, for Wasco county.
We, the grand jury in the above' en
titled court for Baid term respectfully
submit the following as for our fiual
report :
Wo haye been in session four days
and have returned into court three true
bills, and have examined several other
matters which we have not deemed of
sufficient importance to report.
We have examined the county build
ings, including the county jail and poor
farm, and find them all in good con
dition and well cared for.
We have examined the clerk's,8herifFe,
treasurer's and other county offices, and
find said offices with the books, records
and papers therein all properly and cor
rectly kept in bo far as wo are able to
judge.
We find the county poor all are pro
vided forv at the county farm, and we
commend the county court for its man
agement of eaid farm.
We have no recommendations to make
as to the affairs of the county, except
this, that inasmuch as we have found
certain cases awaiting our attention
where parties were bound over on crimi
nal charges in justice court, which cases
we have found to be wholly without
merit. We therefore unqualifiedly con
demn the sending of such cases to this
conrt, aud submit that all magistrates
should exercise the utmost care and dis
cretion in issuing warrants and examin
ing criminal charges brought before
them.
Wherefore, having finished our labors
for this term, we respectfully submit
this our final report, and ask that we
may be discharged.
Dated this 11th day of February, 1897.

The Wheat Trade.
Very little wheat passed out of the
hands of the interior holders during the
past week, and the present dullness is
not due to the fact that exporters do not
desire wheat, but to the fact that the
season in shipping is almost over. Very
little remains to be sold. Wheat that ia
left in the' interior will be used by the
mills and for seeding purposes ; although
exporters will buy a cargo if they can
purchase the same at shipping prices,
The export demand is checked, and the
two vessels in port loading have their
cargoes provided for. The exporting
interest ia taking matters easy and
awaiting future developments. On the
other hand, holders are not willing to
accept current quotations, aud still
await a reaction in their favor, which
they have so looked and wished for.
Present indications, however, do not
offer much encouragement for any
apeedy revival. European adyices be
ing generally easy in tone, with a very
restricted demand, and business in an
inactive condition. Shippers say that
they .are in the market or a cargo when
stock can .be secured on terms which
will allow cargoes to be put afloat with a
reasonable margin of profit to repay cost
of handling; and when trades cannot be
made on this basis they hold aloof.
Quotations for Walla Walla wheat are
8182c per bushel; Valley 8480c,
The grain fleet contains ninety-two ves
sels, and the two that have finished dur
ing the week will no doubt finish the
season of 1896-97. Portland Commer

The Last htevennon ltoinance.
Among the eevcral works left bv
Robert Louis Stevenson unpublished at
his death, undoubtedly the one of com
pleteet and widest interest is a romance
entitled "St. Ivoe." Unllko "Weir of
Hermiston," "St. Ives" was loft all but
complete; and it is, those say who have
read it, a straight-away, honest tale of
adventure, related in Stevenson's most
spirited and charming vein. It is a love
story, and records in particular, the ex
ploits of a very cool, audacious, attrac
tive French soldier who becomes a pris
oner of war in Edinburgh Castle. The
exclusive right of serial publication of
"St. Ives" for America, was purchased
soon after Stevenson's death by Mc
Clure's Magazine, and the publication
will begin in. the March number of that
periodical.
For the t'ortage Kond.
Mr. Lovell, the engineer who surveyed
the line of the portage road at the Cas
cade Locks, came up from Portland last
night to look over the route for the pro
posed portage road around the rapids
here. The senate committee will be
here tomorrow and will go over the line.
The object is to get an estimate of the
probable coat of the road, as some of tho
senators think the sum proposed to b9
appropriated is too large. As there will
in all probability be no meeting of the
legislature, tho work will be of volue
only to some future legislature in pass-

THE BEAN AUTOMAllC
SPRAY PUMP.
Is, unquestionably, the most success
ful and -perfect working Spraying Device
yet invented.
It is a unsv'ersal testimony that more,
as well as better, work can bo accom
plished with the Bean Spray Pump than
with any other pump on the market.
With this pump one man can charge
the receptuble and leave it to direct the
spray just where it is wanted, and thus
with sufficient hoso pass from tree to
tree. The solution ia delivered in a fine
mist or apray, 'penetrating every nook
and cornor, thua doing better and more
effective work than ia possible by any
other method, and witli no waBto what
