There is one thing Portland people
would like to know, and which it seems
they cannot learn. This is whether or
not the warship Oregon Is to come to
Portland to receive her set of silverware.
The salmon are not running well this
spring, even the lower river failing to
supply the Portland markets. With a
falling and clearer water, it is thought
the run will commence and tnat it will
be a very good one.
After June let, on account of other
matters interfering, rifle practice will be
discontinued. All those who have not
qualified, are requested to do so at once.
The range will be open for tuein from 7
to 11 o'clock Saturday and Sunday.
Dan Butler, the Indian found guilty
of cruelty to animals, had, up to this
morning, served out all but $4 of bis
fine. Tiring of the luxuries of the jail
and pining for the freedom of the bills,
he today paid the $4 and was discharged,
Mrs. Smith French received word of
the death of Mrs. Achsah Hurd-Drew
thie morning at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Gene Gilmnn, at Heppner. j
Mrs. French will leave on the 0 o'clock j
train for that place, to attend the funeral. ;
The river remained stationary from !
yesterday morning up to this morning,
but will, according to the weather
bureau, fall four or five feet within that ,
many days, after which it will rise again.
It is not probable it will ever get back to '
the 42-foot mark again.
The grand jury, after examining into
the matter of the theft of a pair of scales
by E. Porter, sent that gentleman back
to City 1'ecorder Phelps to deal with.
Porter pleaded guilty and was fined $30,
which he, having more time than
money, will pay by staying in jail.
Ticketp for admission to the graduat-;

will be on sale tomorrow at the Snipes-'

cost just ten cents each, and are worth t
five times the money. It is requested
that children under 12 yeais do not at
tend. Mrs. C. H. Bell died suddenly on a
farm five miles south of Salem Thursday
morning. She went to bed Monday ,
night feeling as well as usual, but about
2 o'clock in the morning woke her hus- (
band, complaining of a severe pain in j
the stomach. Before he was able to
strike a light his wife died. She came
with her husband from Minnesota to j
Oregon 23 years ago. She left three
sons and a daughter.
Boggs, the man who skipped to Vic
toria with the Newsome woman, and j
whom Sheriff Driver swiped from under!
the noses of her Majesty's officers, hav-,
ing pleaded guilty to the charge of horse '
stealing, was this morning sentenced to '
three years in the pen. To the indict-1
ment charging him with the larceny of
a buggy, his attorney, H. H. Riddell,
entered a plea of "former jeopardy," ,
which District Attorney Jayne conceded
to be correct, and dismissed the indict
ment. Bowling has become such a fad that
the alleys are crowded all the time, and
yet there are many who cannot get the '
opportunity to indulge in the attractive
game. Messrs. Sinnott & Fish have for.
some time contemplated putting an alley
in the Umatilla House, and it is probable
this will be done wry soon. The parti
tions will be taken out of the rooms
along the hall leading back from the (
billiard room, and there the alleys will
be placed. The location has one decided
advantage, and that is it is one of the
coolest places in the city.
The residents of the Sparta section, in .
Union county say that there are more
rattlesnakes there than have been known
(or years; The greater number seem to (
be in the lower Powder locality, where a
lava-capped rock formation exists. ,
Many years ago the Sparta section was
noted for its many snakes, but as the (
country became more thickly settled
they ere nearly all exterminated. This .
was during the placer mining dayt of
the camp. Now that mining is not car-1
ried on so extensively the repitlles seem ,
to be gaining lost ground.
The case of the State against Clemens
was submitted to the jury yesterday
evening, and after being out fourteen
hours a verdict was finally reached this
morning, it being of the compromise
order, and defendant teing found guilty
of simple larceny. The charge was lar
ceny from a dwelling, the punishment
for which is imprisonment in the peni
tentiary, while simple larceny is dealt
with by a sentence to jail. Mr. F. W.
Wilson was appointed by Judge Brad
shaw to defend the prisoner, and made
a splendid fight for his client, as the re
sult shows.
There was a lively runaway about
12:30 this afternoon, the team being
that of E. J. Collins & Co. What fright
ened the horses, we did not learn, but
they came up second street like a Kansas
cyclone, and sticking to the middle of
the road like a gold Democrat. There
was some bread and several axes in the
wagon when the race began, biit these
were thrown out promiscuously as the
wagon hit the street crossings. In front
of Fred Fisher's the runaways ran in:o
a tour-horse team, knocking two of the
horses down, and falling themselves.
The tongue was brokeu from the four
horse wagon, but that was all the dam
age done.

Southern 1'uclflc A;aln Cuts It Special
Train Katex.
The black flago' uncompromising hos
tilities has evidently been hoisted by
the Southern Pacific in itH rate war on
the 0. R.iN., summer steamship travel
between Portland and San Francisco,
and a third cut was announced late last
evening and ordered to be pot in effect
June 11. Itis:
First class, sleeper included .$10 00
Second class, sleeper included 7 50
In order, however, to secure these
fighting rates, passengers wishing to go
south or come to Portland will have to
pay lull rate of i20 first class and $15
second class, as evidence of good faith
that they are going through to destina
tion. Each ticket will he provided with a
rebate coupon; and at the end of his or
her journey, the traveler will get a re
bate of $10 on a first-class ticket, and
$7.50 on a second-class ticket. This the
Southern Pacific is compelled to do in
order to protect its intermediate passen
ger busineeB, the local rates of which
w ill not be affected by the rate war at
the terminal points. It appears that
the interstate commerce commission has
no voice in this matter, from the fact
that San Francisco and Portland are
railroad points affected by water compe
tition, and where a railroad company is
supposed to be at liberty to meet the
rates of a water rival. In thin instance,
however, the cutting of rates was inaug
urated by the Southern Pacific, and not
by the 0. K. & N.
No Information could be obtained last
evening showing that the (). It. & N. had
met this third cut rate of the Southern
Pacific, and, the information corning so
late, it is fair to presume that no
changes were made; but it is safe to
gamble on the proposition that the O.
R. & N. people will meet the cut today,
and go their friends, the enemy, one
better. Oregonian.
A Had Wreck.
At about 4 o'clock Thursday momim:
at American Falls, on the Oregon Shot t
Line, there was a bad accident, result
ing in the death of one passenger mid
eight or nine hoboes.
The west-bound passenger that passed
here this morning was on tho main track
waiting for freight train No. 22 to pull
in. The freight was loaded with lum
ber, and coming down the grade into
the station the brakes would not hold,
and there was a runaway. The engineer
of the freight gave a danger signal, anil
the passenger train started to hack out
of the way. It lnul attained a speed of
six or seven miles an hour when tho
freight dashed into it, running sixty
miles an hour. The passenger train was
not damaged, nor any one on it hurl.
i One passenger who was on tho platform
and saw there was going to be a colli
sion, jumped off at the depot, and when
the crash came the freight cars left the
track, demolished the depot, and killed
the passenger who had juet got off the
train.
The engineer and fireman of tho
freight each received broken limbs in
the crash, but stayed at their posts. A
gang of hoboes, eight or nine in number,
were on the freight and all were killed.
