Mrs. Mary French is making arrange ments to build a cosy little cottage on her lot adjoining the cottage now occu pied by her son. Work will be begun at once. "The Emperor William II.," "Falla cies Concerning Prayer," "Was Poe a I'lagiarist?" and other articles, make the May Forum an interesting and timely number. The city council has ordered the street lamps taken down, the contract having expired May 1st. We mention this fact for fear our good people would not know that the lights are no longer burning. At the Umatilla House the weather bulletins are posted daily each evening, snowing the weather forecast for the twenty-four hours following. These bulletins are sent from Portland each afternoon. A man named Meeks was arrested at j Hood Kiver yesterday, charged with ; stealing a horse. Ho had his prclimi nary examination today, Hon. John) Mieholl representing the state, and G. ( W. Phelps appearing for the defense. I Tho now bowling alley wbb opened . last night, and the rooms were crowded ; with enthusiastic bowlers, anxious to "i me new alleys. One game was bowled with fourteen on a side, and the alloy was kept open until nearly mid night.. Tho first strawberries' of the season were shipped from here yesterday by Mr. Aud Winans. The shipment con aisled of one box, or one pound, and went to Portland. They were grown on the Winans1 Bros.' place two miles eaBt of town, and were fine, luscious fellows. Aey will be abundant In another week. Mr. Winans tells us he would have had quite a number ere this, but his patch being by the side of the railroad, the great American tramp had feasted on them, getting what money could not buy, berries in April. The shipment is a remarkably early one. The river at noon today was at the 27 2 murk, a tall of about three inches since yesterday morning. The weather has turned quite warm again, and it is probable that the next rise will continue its upward course until the high mark is reached. Dufur is to have a grand picnic Fri day, and it is unnecessary to add those who attend will have a delightful time in that pleasant little town. Among the other features of the day will be a base ball game between the Champions of this city and the Dufur club.

We suggest that thai fact probably ac counts for its condition. It isn't the only bird that bad a leg pulled in that city last winter, Corbett could testify. The land office here has received in structions from the secretary of the in terior, to ttie effect that the petition of the Eastern Oregon Land Company, ask ing that all action on lands within the limits of their road be suspended until the supremo court passes upon the cases of Messinger and others, has been lowed. In consequence, no more filings i will be received on odd sections .within the primary limit of the company's ; grant, nor on indemnity lauds selected! by them, nor will final proofs be taken on any such lands until after the de decision of the supreme court is ren dered. The Salem Statesman says: "The Seattlo Post-IntelliL'encer of Thursday gives an account of the tho board of regents of the meeting 0'f Washington state uuiversity, held on Wednesday night, at which time the committee on instruction submitted a report severing the connection ot several from tho fac ulty of the university after August 1st, among them two instructors well known in this city. They are Thomas M. Gatch, professor of political and social science, and Miss Ellen J. Chamberlain, professor of English language and liter ature, and two others. Under the new regime the board of regents is composed of Populists, and they are naturally weeding out people employed in public institutions who are not in accord with the powers that be on free silver, fiat money, treasury potato mortgages and a thousand other issues advocated by the 'reform' party." The forest reserve matter, in which Senator Wilson lias interested himself, is being held up awaiting the action of congress relative to an amendment which the public lands committee will offer to the sundry civil bill, which al lows the president to modify an order in regard to forest reservations, eo as to permit mining and prospecting, as well as the use of timber for mining pur poses upon the reservations. This amendment by being general in its char acter will allow the president to reduce the areas which have been set apart and make them conform to what is thought to be reasonable dimensions by the rep resentatives of Western states. Those Hreutlilnc J'lctureg. The animatiscope pictures as shown by Mr. Wilbur are certainly things of j beauty. They grow on one, and every 1 time they are 6een new beauties can be (discovered. Last night as we watched the picture entitled "Feeding the Doyes," we could hardly believe that we were not looking at a real scene. Tho picture bIiowb a farm yard with a woman and a tot of a girl scattering grain to the fowls. On the ground can be seen the greedy chickens pecking industriously at the grains and at each other, while the air is filled with pigeons lighting, only to fly up again in a fluttering mass as j the little girl throws her arms too ener getically towards them. It is a perfect ecene, and yet, while different, no better 1 than many of the others. The picture ; entitled "A Morning Bath." showing a colored woman giving her "little black j pickaninni" u dip in the tub is wonder-1 fully amusing, the changing expressions ' of the baby's fuce as the water and Eoap j got in their work being enough to make I one smile audibly. Last night the hall j was crowded with delighted people, and tonight the Commercial Club will have al-,bim in their rooms for the benefit of their members. A treat is in store for them. Mr. Wilbur is a clever gentle-! man, and he gives the public the worth of its money, every time. Fnuural of Mm. Jfucte.

While prospecting upon the mouniain back of Canyon City, Grant county, searching for pocket ledges, Clyde Lock wood and Ed. Chambers panned out u fine looking specimen of opal, which glows with great brilliancy when held up toward the light, and which would make a magnificent ornament if prop eny cut and polished. The boys found the precious stone away up near the head of Long gulch, above the mining ditches. Believing that there ure more in the vicinity of where this specimen was picked up, they will keep an eye open for opals hereafter while eugaged in prospecting for gold. Teut-lior' KxHiiilnution.
