A suitable re ward will be paid for its return. al26-3t Dr. Logan is in New York City, and is taking advantage of the opportunity to attend the clinics there. He will be homo about the middle of May. The river has fallen about four feet, and will probably go down that much more before the warm weather gets its work in and sendB it up again. From present indications the extreme high water thi6 year will come in May. Hood River has doubled the acreage of its straw berrriea this spring. The new plants will not bear this year, but next year should have a full crop, and this next year should furnish 1,500,000 pounds of crimson lusciouEness, or 750 tons. In digging a well in the government reserve, Mr. George Krause found hu man bones and teeth at a depth of forty feet. It simply shows that people a good many years ago, were waiting, us we are now, the full development of our industries, A man named Nicholas White was taken in charge by the officials this morning, thoy thinking lie was a leper. Dr. Eshelman examined him and found ho was suffering irom a severe case of eczema. He wag sent out of Walla Walla, thence to Pendleton, and then here. The Antelope Herald thinks The Dalles Champion baBball team should only claim to be champions of The Dalles, and insinuates that they have baseball players out in that neck of the woods. If Guoh bo the fact, the ball players here are ready to meet them, and take all the conceit out of them. Some of tho .Dalles peoplo who were in Portland yesterday attended Taylor street church, whore Kelchner's model of the Tabernacle of Israel, which is to be exhibited in tho Methodist church here tomorrow night, was shown and explained by Dr. Locke. They speak of it as something wonderful, as well ae instructive. The Champions are still on top. They played the Dalles Commercial and Ath letic team a very spirited game yester day, resulting in a victory for the Cham pions by a score of 17 to 19, and the ChampionB did not take their last in ning. The Dufur team miiEt put up a better game than they did at KingBley yesterday if they expect to beat the Champions. A telephone from D. L. Catea at the Cascades states that three men engaged in fishing were drowned in the rapids below that place today. Ihey were , Ambrose Johnson, A. Syringes and J. j Sieudquist. How the accident occurred we did not learn, but It is supposed that j tho boat upset in the rapids. The crew ; of the steamer Dalles City recovered one body, that of Siendquist. Mr. C. L. Morse, who has charge of the store at White Salmon, came up on the train last night. He is enthusiastic in his praises of that section, and - it un doubtedly is one of the finest fruit sec tions in the world. Whatever may be said of Hood River apples applies with equa1 force to White Salmon. It is a great strawberry country, and has done much to establish the record for Hood River berries. Mr. Charles Stubling has been re modeling his place of business and now has one of the handsomest places in the state. His bar-room has been re-arranged and enlarged, and the work of decorating and papering having been done by Paul Kreft, noting more can be said of it. The paneling has been done in walnut, the side-rooms all re-furnished and now that it is completed, there is not a prettier or more convenient place on.the coast. Major McNeill Comes West. AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Rev. Wilbur Ilarivood's Discourse l.nst .Nittbt. Major E. McNeill, president of the O. R, & N. Co., passed through Pendleton on the last of the two west-bound trains last night on his way to Portland. He rode in his private car at the rear of the train and was accompanied by W. H. Hurlburt, general passenger agent of the company. He alighted on the platform for a few minutes and, seeing Conductor Glendenning, told him that he had been Ehook up too much between Baker City and Pendleton, and that he didn't want any more of it. A Tribune reporter approached the major and questioned that official con cerning the report that the Short Line and the O. R. & N. Co. were about to consolidate. "Many things are possible," said Mr. McNeill, "and this is one of them. But there is little faith to bo attached to rumors generally. This eamo thing has been talked of for three years. The Short Line wanted to lease the O. R. & N. system and au arrangement of this kind' is one of the possibilities of tho future. As matters now stand, how ever, there is absolutely nothing in the rumor, and it ought never to have gained ground, as nothing has transpired re cently to justify any such report." Tribune. For Bale. Yearling sheep (1000 head,) sound and in prime condition. Price $1.75. Ad dress, J M Davi8 w-mllf Sherars Bridge, Oregon, MAIER& BENTON'S Yesterday at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p.m. an unusually large congregation assem bled at the First Christian church to hear the Rev. Dr. Harwood, whose masterly and well delivered discourse was an intellectual treat to his attentive and no less interested listeners. In the evening every seat was crowded to the doors. After a song by the choir, the doctor, in a few well-chosen remarks, introduced himself. The doctor's father is a West Indian, and his mother an East Indian, a native of Bengal, India, both parents afterward moved to Ceylon, where the doctor came into existence. After passing through the primary and normal schools of Ceylon and Calcutta, he waB transferred to London, England, and completed his studies at King's collego, Cambridge. He was subse quently ordained in the Anglican church and was sent as a missionary to the Niger river in Africa, where he served two years, thence to Barbadoes, West Indies, the Fiji islands, Trinidad, Pana ma, thence to the United States, where he connected hiniEelf with the Colored Methodist church, and was transferred to the Puget Sound conference as super intendent of missions. The doctor is on ills way to the East, en route for South Africa. His discourse of last evening evening was a masterly production, his analysis of the Bible, ethnologically, showed him no .mean scholar in Hermenuties and Biblical exegesis, and his knowledge of physical and natural ecience, coupled with that of ancient history, speak for him great achievments. Tho doctor is also a musical scholar. Ills missionary solo, "Souls in Heathen Daiknesa Dy ing," on the organ, was most beautifully reudered. All those who were in at tendance last night went away well gratified with the evening's entertain ment. Hood ittver Valley. Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting Hood River, and it was a pleas ure indeed. Tho day was perfect, and a perfect dav in Hood River is as near the ' first (day in Paradise as is ever vouch- safed to man. The big oaks were in bloom, with the leaves like "squirrels ears;" the ground was carpeted with flowers; the air fragrant with the bloom ' of orchards ; and a drive over tho beau ' tiful roads was simply a delight. ' After being away from the valley a few months, one can hardly realize that , the change is not due to some influence ! outside of humanity. Whero a few months ago were the little black pines, are pretty homes, ntrawberry patches, thrift, plenty. The fruit trees are not damaged, as was feared last fall, though some have been killed, aud everywhere is a mass of bloom and fragrance. Last year about 11,000 crates of straw berries were shipped, bringing to the growers about $2 net per case. This year it is expected that 80,000 crates will be shipped, and that the prices will not fall off, or in other words, that nearly $60,000 will be realized from that crop alone. The profit from one aero of strawberries is equal to that from 100 acres of wheat, and wheu one considers that a good crop of apples is better than that from the berries, and that the Hood River valley is practically eighteen miles by twelve, and that its product in money equals 100 times that area in wheat, one can begin to get an idea of tho future of our nsighboring town. We venture tho assertion that inside of five years Hood River fruit will yield more in the shape of money than all the wheat of the county, and inside of ten years that part of tho county alone will bring in more money than is now re ceived by Wasco county for its wool and wheat. Just now it ia tho moat beauti ful place in Oregon, and therefore in tho world; and if you don't believe it, go and see. l-KUSONAl. J1KNTKIS, Mr. II. M.
