There has been a strong west wind all
day, with much cooler weather than
yestenlnv.
Wool is coining in quite plentifully,
and Klickitat continues to send in con
siderable wheat.
The annual meeting of the V. C. T.
lT. will lie held in the Congregational
church tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Judge Morrow of California has been
nominated by the president for the
position of U. S. circuit judge for the
Ninth district.
Tomorrow evening Cedar Circle will

Fred D. Hill, at the Moody bowling
alley, broke the record at noon today,
with a score of '18, and was rewarded
with a bin iron dollar. There is another

beats 48.
Mr. Frank Carney of Astoria, who was
here last Sunday, is responsible for the
statement made in an Astoria paper that
"Col. Sinnott i$ the rankest Populist in
Kastern Oregon." Wonder what kind
of a story the Col. filled him with.
The street sprinkler was not in evi
dence today, which is probably the rea
son why the west wind went on a frolic
and tried all day to seo how much dust
it could kick up. Just how much it
raised, we are unable to say, but there
was plenty.
The river at 1 o'clock was at the 40.7
mark, a rise of .1 in six hours. The fact
is that whilo the Range shows this, it is
Probable the river is falling a tritle, or is
at least at a standstill, as the strong up
stream wind would cause at least that
much of a rise.
The jury that tried Russel in Coos
eonnty lust week disagreed, eight being
In favor of declaring him insane and
four for murder in the second degree.
Russell was tried for killing his son-in-law.
The old man climbed on a bed,
pushed his gun through a partition wall,
iid deliberately fired at his son-in-law,
who was seated on a chair in an adja
cent room.
Last Thursday evening, while Blaine
Menley, George Schott and Mauley
Dawning were riding from Condon, iu
Gilliam county, toward Ferry canyon,
and when just outside of Condon,
Mealey's horse ran into a wire fence and
was almost Instantly killed. His throat
was cut and tho hide torn ofi' his breast,
'f he young man was thrown over the
fence, but was practically unhurt.

i
j A stranger hired a carriage at Niagara
j Falls to take' him over into Canada, and
I while crossing tho bridge jumped from
the whicle and threw himself into the
angry waters below. The horror stricken
driver gazed downward upon the mad
torrent, Ins breast torn with emotion,
and then turned and said to his horses
that ho would be double-blanked if the
next man he hauled out there wouldn't
have to pay in advance.
Two old Indian women, one blind and
j the other decrepit, burned to death Inst
I week on Williamson rivor. in Klamath
i county. One was burned to a crisp in
l the wigwam and the other ran and
! jumped into the river. She was found
j on the bank naked and nearly dead, and
i died two hours after. The fire is
j thought to have been started by some
j incendiary, and Agent Erwin and the
j Indian police are making a thorough in
' yostigation.
The river this morning showed a rise
of 1.1 in 24 hours, though the strong
up-stream wind was probably respon
sible for at least .2, so the actual rise
would be .0. Mr. Pague's report yes
terday was alarming, and we believe un
reliable. This morning, according to
reports received by the O. R. the
Clearwater was falling, the Snake at
Lewlston was going down slowly, and at
Umatilla the Columbia fell .2. This
means a fall here of about .3 tonight,
followed by periiaps a further fall for a
day or two, at least. The indications
are that the Snake has done its worst
and that it will go down slowly as the
Columbia rises. Mr. Pague reports
warm weather in the country around
the headwaters of tho Columbia, but
without the flood of the Snake there can
be no damaging stage of the river here.

CRAZY OVER MINING.

'I n ii l'n.
All
G. R. Fugit, of Canyon Ci'y, who is a
j delegate to the grand lodge of Odd Fel
jlows from Hobah lodge, Xo- 22, repot ts
, that everything in that mining section
! is looking more promising than ever be
fore, so much that everybody is going
crazy. Everybody is wanting to mine
and as consequence tho country is taken
j up. The gentleman is employed on
Walter Brown's placeis near Canyon
City and is thoroughly posted on what
is going on in the country adjacent there
! to.
' Mr. Fugit report that there is very
profitable digiriug being done in some
i places near Mr. Brown's property. He
1 reports that the men on an adjoining
, claim picked up .$884 recently in a few
I days, just by looking over the dirt as
' they shoveled it, and that lie, himself,
only a few days before leaving, found a
! nugget worth $100-
Speaking of machines for saving gold
I Mr. Fugit related that J. A. Whitman,
: who has been mining in that country
i for thirty years, had said to him that if
j they ever invented a machine that
I would save the fine' gold thero would bo
! more gold taken out of that country
than ever before.

Mrs. C. M. Donuell, president of the
Press and Literature department of tho
county W. C. T. U., at the recent con
vention at Hood River gave the follow
ing tribute to the Press as a part of her
report :
"Perhaps no other agency so ttuly de
serves to be called 'the power behind
the throne' as tho Press. History tells
us that the world has always had some
thing that exercised a controlling influ
ence over the people. There have been
magicians, medicine men, soothsayers,
astrologers and priests. The 'mind
motor' of tho Nineteenth century is the
Press. Every person reads the papers,
and 'As a man readeth eo is he.' The
Press is the 'mighty means on which
the arm of progress leans.' The printed
page has such fusing qualities that it
blends the minds of men and women to
a common purpose, who otherwise re
maining alone would have been without
inspiration and without incentive to
work.
"The influence of the Press has cen
tered the eyes of the nations and of our
beat statesmen latterly to consider the
crowning work of civilization, arbitra
tion. It has brought our nation to con
aider the gallant fight our next-door
neighbors, the Cubans, are making for
their liberty. It has brought to the
notice of the world tho heroic efforts of
the Greeks to drive tho lordly Turk out.
It has brought us all into sympathy
with the suffering Armenians, and with
the starving hordes of India. It has
probably done more to teach patriotism
and to protect the stara and stripes than
any other agency. It playB an import
ant part in making temperance senti
ment. A large part of the work is being
