Tne river this morning was at 37.5, a
fall of 1.3 since yesterday morning. At
this rate it will only be a few days until

ud this in spite of exceedingly warm
weather.
Ex-Senator .lolin J. Ingalls alluding
to the charges that the United States
senate, or nt.least some of the senators,
were dealing in sugar stocks, hits the
venerable old "wheat-pit gamblers" a
jolt, by quoting from Thanotopsis. He
describes them as "soothed and sus
tained by an unfaltering trust."
Hood River, to date, has shipped
something over 10,000 crates of berries.
The crop, while promising to b the
laigest ever grown, suddenly collapsed.
The cool weather will, it is thought,
be beneficial to the late berries, and the
yield may and perhaps will exceed the
figures given at present.

We note that there is quite a mining
excitement in the Canyon Creek district,
forty-five miles northeast of Vancouver,
and that there is considerable talk
about copper prospects. From 1872 to
1877 the writer spent considerable time
in that district, aad is pretty well in
formed concerning Us merits. If cop
per is all that is required) there is plenty
f it. On the trail leading from Canyon
PEASE
creek back to the old Silver Star mine
on Libby creek are tone of copper float,
mostly red and gray oxides, carrying
twenty-four to thirty-five per cent
copper.
A conservative estimate made by per
sons who are now engaged in buying
cattle and sheep in Oregon is to the ef
fect that, during the present year,
000,000 will be expended for cattle, and
$1,000,000 for sheep. Every dollar of
this money will come into the state.
Some of the Eastern buyers place a still
greater estimate on the business to be
transacted.
We acknowledge the receipt of an in
vitation to the closing exercises at St.
Joseph's school the evening of June
1 1 tli . This is one of the finest educa

closing exercises are always interesting.
That the occasion, Friday of next week,
will be up to the usual standard and
show some unique features, can be de
pended upon.

Mr. Hairy Brown, Hying up on the
side of the mountain, near Parker'e
mill, has lost his wholo crop of straw
berries by the ravages of a little yellow
bug, something like a louse as seen
through a glass. The bug is so small
it can hardly be seen with the naked
eye. The pest works on the berry near
the stem and causes it to turn a dirty
yellow color in ripening. Mr. Brown
had just commenced to pick his patch
and had shipped half a crate of good
berries. Nex day, on Friday laBt, soon
after starting to pick, lie discovered
that something was wrong with the ber
ries. Upon examination with a glass he
found the berries alive with these little
yellow lice. He went over to his neigh
bor, Jack Binns, and found his patch
affected the same way. Both Mr. Brown
and Mr. Binns expect to lose their en
tire crops. Not a single berry has no far
escaped, except the half crate shipped
the day before the pest was discovered.
Mr. Brown expected at least 100 crates
and got half a crate. His berry patch
was liis sole dependence for tho support
of his family. Being an Invalid him
self, his wife had done all the work in
taking care of the patch. A email box
of the infested berries was eent to the.
Agricultural college at Corvallls for in

She Came From tlie Locks.
Mrs. L. C. Eames is in the countv
j jail, sent there by a hard-hearted justice
I of the peace at Cascade Locks, and all
t for carrying concealed weapons. It is
charged that she carried a revolver in
i the bosom of her dress, and was pre
I pared to shoot any and all coiners on tho
slightest provocation.
In company with the editor of the
Times-Mountaineer, we called at the jail
this morning for the purpose of getting
an item, and we got it. The genial
sherin", assisted by his deputy, invited
the newspaper aggregation into the cell,
and very accommodatingly locked the
door. Mrs. Eames immediately eom
' menced to unfold her tale of woe by tell
j ing us that French was her native lan
, guage, and that she was handicapped in
telling her story on account of her in
ability to talk English. Mr. Douthit
kindly came to the rescue with the
j statement that he was up on French,
j and in response to her agonized question
, "Parlez vous Francais," responded, on
j the spur of the moment, "Na-witka."
i Then the Hood tide of her woes was
loosened, and she gave the history of
the locks from the lime of the first ap
propriation up to the present day.
Mrs. Eamee is evidently slightly de
ranged, laying al! her troubles to the K.
of P. She inquired of the newspaper
men as to what she should do, but as
she had iiad Borne of the best legal ad
vice in the city, the reporters very prop
erly refused to advise her. One thing is
certain, and that is that her vocabulary
is developed to the utmost degree.
The editor of the Times-Mountaineer
leaned up against the fence to recover us
we left the courthouse; but we, having
been married longer, carried the loud
easily.
