Six carloads of hogs from Island City
were fed at the stock yards last night,
and three carloads more arrived today.
The first watermelons of the season
were on sale at the Commission house
this morning. They were grown by Mr.
Stadtelman.
The Regulator came up to the Locks
today with a party of excursionists, re
turning to Portland this afternoon. The
Dalles City will be in at 7 o'clock.
A few loads of wheat have been re
ceived 'at Pendleton. It was sold to the
roller mills for 50 cents a bushel, and
was brought in from the reservation by
squaws.
W. L. Ward arrived home from Win
nemucca, Nevada last night, bringing
with him his brother-in-law, who is very
sick. Mr. Ward went to Wlnnemucca
last week after him.
The Dalles City brought up a large lot
of freight last night, and this morning
waa loaded to the guards, having among
her other freight 700 sheep shipped by
Mr. Ketch urn to Troutdale.
Miss Alice Thompson was thrown
from a horse at Rufus last night. Her
right elbow was dislocated and both
bones of her right arm broken near the
wrist. Dr. Hollister repaired the damages.
The Elite Candy factory has just put
in a fine new soda fountain, and is pre
pared to furnish its customers soda-ice
cream as well as soda, with the most de

I sickle bar of a mowing machine which
! be was starting to the Geld, as when
found the body was fast, one arm being
caught on a finger of the sickle bar.
The team ran a distance of 150 vards to
the barn, dragging him, and when found
his neck was broken, though he was still
alive and lived in an unconscious con
dition for two hours.
Some of the farmers of Lincoln county
evidently expect to realize a handsome
margin on their labor this year. Glas
gow & McLean, who owned a third in
terest in a field of 250 acres of wheat,
sold their interest in the crop last week
to George Hnffman for $1000. Their
Bhare in the 250 acres was 83 acres aud a
fraction. This gives a fair idea of what
farmers expect to make this fall, when
they thus calculate on clearing $1000
over all expenses on 83 acres. This field
of grain is no better than scores of other
fields all over the county.
B. F. Brock, of Eufaula, in Wahkia
kum, has nearly four miles of his new
logging railroad graded and ready for
e ties and iron. The present road is
tnkee and a half miles long, and is con
structed for the most part of 40-pound
steal rails. The roadbed is in excellent
condition and carefully ballasted : the
es are sawed and the grades have been
reduced to the lowest possible limit.
The road is narrow gauge, and is equipp
ed with two locomotives and plenty of
cars. The extension of the road crosses
some canyons, where it is necessary to
erect trestle work 35 feet high.
The committee appointed by the Com
mercial club to examine the route of the
proposed railroad to the Deschutes per
formed its labors yesterday. The com
mittee took with it Mr. Johnson, a rail
road surveyor, and will report to the
Club at once. The grade was found to
be much easier than was expected, not
exceeding 1 per cent coming from the
Deschutes, and per cent going out.

by Miss Deming and duets by Misses

The laying of the corner-stone of tbe
Lutheran church took place yesterday
according to programme, there being
about 400 present. The services were
conducted accordingto the Lutheran
ritnal by Revs'. W. C. Curtis of the Con
gregational church au4 L. Grey, pastor
of the Lutheran church. The address
by Rev. DeForest ot the Episcopal
church was a brief but fine resume of the
history of Lntheranism, which held the
close attention of all present. The line
of argument was: "Thai tha Lutheran
church was the true Catholic church, in
full keeping with the apostolic or early
church. It has the sacraments of tbe
ancient church, and continues the lit
urgy and forms of the ancient church.
Although it was unfortunate in losing
the Episcopate, yet it has an unbroken
chain of Presbyterian succession."
Tbe music, an anthem and two hymns,
was rendered by the Congregational
choir in an excellent manner.
The following articles vfere deposited
in tbe corner-stone:

JOHN DURBIN IS DEAD.
born ten children, five of whom are
living. The family moved to Hancock
county, Illinois, in 1842; thence to Clay
ton county, Miseouri, in the same year.
In the spring of 1845, tbe family, with a
body of emigrants, set out for Oregon, ar
riving in the fall of 1845. Mr. Durbin
settled in Marion county, where he
lived continuously until his death. He
lived an active life, giving most of his
time to farming and stockraising. In
the '50s it was his custom to drive bands
of cattle into tbe Rogue River valley to
graze off of nature's rich pastures. He
had a large band in the valley at the
time of the threatened outbreak of the
Rogue River Indians. It was Mr. Dur
bin's good fortune to get along peacea
bly with the Indians, even when they
were hostile toward the government and
other settlers. He treated with the
Rogue River Indiane at the start by
promising them two head of fat cattle a
year for tbe privilege of pasturage, and
he always lived up to the treaty. The
living children of John Durbin are:
Casper J., of Huntington, Or., aged 75;
Mrs. Fannie A. Martin, four miles east
of Salem, aged 72; Solomon Durbin, B
miles east of Salem, aged 68; Isaac,
aged 65, nine miles northeast ot Salem ;
Mrs. Mary J. Starkey of Salem, aged 62.
