The Uremen's tournament met at
Baker City yesterday. The races come
oil' tomorrow. v
Circuit court adjourned last night
until Saturday morning. Most of the
business of tho term has been com
pleted. Don't forget the moonlight excursion,
to be given by the hose teams, for the
purpose of raising funds for the tourna
ment here this fall.
Forty carloads or cattle were shipped
from the Saltmarshe yards last night,
going East, and two carloads of hogs
were shipped to T routdale.
Mr. Connolly came up from Hood
River last night and biought this office
a box of delicious Triumph strawberries,
grown and presented by Mrs. R. Pealer.
The eocial to have been given by the
Artisans tonight, has been postponed,
in order to permit the members to at
tend the entertainment given by the
Woodmen, and to hear the address of
Mr. Falkonberg.
Frank Whiting of Burns, Harney
county, while catching a horse last week,
had hold of a piece of rope that broke,
The end of the rope flew back and struck
Whiting in tho left eye, injuring him so
badly that ho will probably lose the
eight of the eye.

Shields had the now resorvoir cleaned
out, and when the water had nearly all
been taken out of the big tank, tho bot
tom was found to bo filled with beauti
ful mountain trout of all sizes and colois.
Mr. Shields had all the fish carefully
preserved, and wilt'replace them in the
tank alter the water is turned in again.
John Porter's residence, near Dora, in
Coos county, burned last week, Mrs.
l'orter was at home at the time with
her baby, which she carried about thirty
feet from the burning building, and then
wont to a neighbor's for aid. When she
returned, she found tho child's clothes
on firo, and the little ono so badly
burned that it' is thought the injuries
will prove fatal.
Heop Stone, a Chinese, married in El
lensburg last Monday Maggie Dalson, a
white woman. The ceremony was per
formed in tho laundry parlors, and
Judge Boyle, chief justice of the Ellens
burs justice court, tied the knot. The
bride was becomingly attired in a cob
turue of some material not known to -the
reporter, says the Eliensburg Localizer.
The groom faced the ordeal in hi6 shirt
sleeves.
We understand that at the next G. A.
R. encampment, which will be held at
Independence on the 10th, an effort will
be made to have the next meeting of
the old veterans held here. The citizens
generally would be glad of the oppor
tunity to show their respect for the
"boys," and it is to be hoped the repre
sentatives from the post will present an
urgent invitation to the encampment to
honor us with a visit.
The directors of the Second EaBtern
Oregon District Agricultural Society, or
words to that efieet, have determined to
hold tho annual fair as usual, despite
the fact that the legislature failed to
meet and appropriate money for any
purpose. Tho law is very plain in its
provisions and there seems to be no
doubt but that tho $1500 provided by law
for paying premiums will have to be
paid. The meeting will begin Tuesday,
October 12th and will last live days.
Dufur is always progressive, and al
ways in the van when it comes to cele
brations, picnics and patriotism, and it
is, therefore, not surprising that arrange
ments are already being made for a 4th
of July celebration in tho shady groves
of that pr.etty town. The celebration
will last two days, beginning on the 2d,
but the big picnic, orations, etc., will be
held on the 3d. The arrangements are
not yet all completed, but one thing is
certain, and that is that there will be a
barbecue, superintended by that chief in
the art, Professor Frasier. The program
will be given in a few days.
Mr. M. J. Anderson came in from
Dufur this morning, and reports the
crop conditions in that neighborhood as
being excellent. There was some fears
for a while that tho grasshoppers, which
were quite numerous, would do con
siderable damage, but all danger from
this source has passed. He telle us the
hoppers have literally "got it in the
neck," being attacked by a parasite in
the shape of a small red louse that
fastens itself to the hoppei's neck and
feeds on him until death ensues. We
note also in thie connection the Pendle
papers mention the same conditions as
existing in Umatilla county. I'ests of
innumerablo kinds are the bane of the
farmers' lives, and it is a genuine pleas
ure to know that occasionally the pests
themselves have peste.

THE BICYCLE WALK.
Tlit KeiiulxRaiicp of tin? IttiRtletl Ortolan
Unntl.
Have you caught on to the new walk
that the young Indies have been inocu
lated with? If not, you want to keep
your eyes open, and it will not take you
long to discover it, even in its incipient
stages. When it first arrived it was in
a very mild form ; but as it beame more
numerous it also became more acute.
In the incipient ttaco the young victim
cau easily be distinguished. Tho nat
ural, upright, independent, swinging
walk, natural to t he springy instep of
youth is wanting, and instead isa mincing
gait, suggestive of tight shoes. The
body is bent slightly forward from the
hips, the chin necessarily thrown for
ward, in order to give the eyes a chance
to eweep the horizon, and to balance tho
forward lean of the uppor story tho
foundation is neceesarilv projected in an
opposite direction.
Tho first impression conveyed bv
glancing nt the female figure in this
position is that the said female is suffer
ing from a slight attack of colic. It is
simply the renaissance of the "Grecian
bend," so popular und so ugly twenty
five years ago. As style always goes to
the utmost extremes of absurdity before
it- takes a tumble to itself, it is fair to
presume that the present bicycle walk
will be no exception to the rule, and
that all of its points oi ugliness will be
accentuated before it gives way to some
thing else. Among the points of em
phasis will undoubtedly be a revival of
the bustle. The walk is so ungainly
and so ungaceful that it is almost cer
tain to become the rage, just as did the
toothpick shoes and balloon sleeves, the
baby stare and photographic grin.
During the height of the Grecian bend
fad someone paraphrased Goldsmith's
immortal lines lp suit the occasion, and
they will bear repetition now:
When lovely woman htoops to folly
And rues the rusuiilusl too lute,
What charm sliull hootliu her melaucholv
Wlmt art shall set her back up straight''
Tho only tiling for her disaster;
The only thing her woo to end,
1k to apply a inuntiiid plustcr.
If bhe won't do It, let her bend.

Last evening a gentleman brought to
this office a letter he found upon the
street, thinking it might be of import
ance to the loser.
There were no names cither of tiie
party addressed or the writer, hence we
hardly know how to advertise it in such
a manner as to attract tho real owner's
attention. It is a delicate subject al
ways to be dealing with other people's
love letters, or for that matter, with
your own. This one shows a Health of
affection, that comes tumbling in cas
cades from the deep fountains of her
love, over the precipices that Euparate
that altltudlnouo country where puppy
love has its being from this lower world,
where the cabbage and hash of every
day life fill the female coreet to the ex
clusion of dreams aud visions of things
unattainable.

Tom Hudson yesterday was getting
ready for his regular summer trip down
along the Canyon City road to look after
the Eastern Oregon Land Co.'s business.
For these trips he keeps a span of horses,
one of which is a gray. Tho horses were
in a pasture a mile or so from town, to
yesterday Tom went out, caught tho
horses and brought them into town.
Then lie Droceeded to hitch them up and
give them a spin around town, just to
get them used to it.
When thus engaged, he was hailed by
Emil Schanno, who ni-ked, "Where did
you get my horse?" Tom, of course,
denied ever having seen Schanno's
horse. "But that's my gray horse you
are driving," said Schanno. Then Tom
looked at tiie horso and sarcastically
asked if Schanno really ever owned an
animal of the equine race. Schanno
said he did, and tiiat he owned that gray
one. Tom gave him what might appro
priately bo called the "liorto laugh,"
but Schanno smiled serenely s.nd in
sisted it was a horse on Tom. Then the
latter gentleman offered to buck his
opinion with $10 single standard money.
.Schanno didn't care to bet on a dead
thing. What was your animal, inquired
the patient Schanno, a horse or mare.
She was a mare, of course, waB tho
reply. "Well, the horse you are driving
is a horse and my horso at that," and
then, but not till then, did Hudson give
it up.

A dispatch from Astoria Monday,
says :
The last week has seen a radical
change for tho better in the run of
salmon. Today the deliveries of fish
have been remarkably large, even for
this time of tho year. The canneries
are all running at full capacity. Not
only are tho fish unusualy numerous,
but the run us to quality is extraordi
narily fine. As an example, a fisherman
this morning, after a few hours' work,
turned into one of the lower town can
neries thirty chinook salmon, which
averaged by uctual weight more than
fifty pounds apiece,
