White, the sick man from up the

ttie course of a couple of weeks to be
able to proceed to his home in Califor
nia. Mrs. Mary French is making arrange
ments to build a cosy little cottage on

pied by her son. Work will be begun
at once.

timely number.
The city council has ordered the

this fact for fear our good people would
not know that the lights are no longer

At the Umatilla House the weather

A man named Meeks was arrested at j

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.
'Owing to the animatoscope being At

A Salem paper mentions the fact that
a one-legged robin is hopping around
the lawns of that city, jmd that it re
mained in the city all ot last winter.
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.

Opal Found iu Grant County.
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.
