Billy Bell, who belongs to that class known as squaw-men, stabbed fcnd mortally wounded his squaw at Port Blakeley Saturday, and the fol lowing day committed suicide by hanging himself to the bed-post in his cabin. Since the beginning of time woman, lovely .woman, has had much to an swer for. From the ' golden-haired Guinevere to the raven-locked Cleo patra, from the fair-skinned Helen of Troy to the acute brunette of Billy Bell's household alike they have caused trouble, bloodshed and death. The human heart is a strange snd complex bit of machinery, and what it does, or will do, neither science nor sense may demonstrate. One would never suspect, for instance, that a white man would become so enamored of a Puget sound squaw that he would commit suicide be cause, as Bill Nye puts it, "she was too good to be true." It is hard to believe this possible, if one has ever seen one of thesesquaws. They are not beauties. Most of them have a forehead like the: mold board of a breaking plow, and a form possessing all the grace and roundness of a twenty-gallon beer keg. They are dumpy, dirty and suggestive of the spring run of salmon late in the fall. Yet such is the power of femininity that Billy Bell felt that without the particular specimen of the genius that he had captured, life would be an utter blank, and so he sent her over to the happy fishing grounds (that tribe doesn't hunt) by jabbing a hasty butcher knife into her anat omy, and followed her into the be yond by the clothes line route. Prince Henry of Orleans and the Count of Turin fought a duel with swords near Paris Sunday, and the. former got the worst of it, beiug prodded in the right breaet and in his royal abdomen, but he will re cover. His opponent received a light cut on the back of his hand. The fight lasted twenty-Gve minutes. That illustrates the difference be tween old country methods and the rapid manner of doing things in the wild, wild West. The arrangements for the duel have occupied four men, . not counting the principals, for three weeks, and then when the combat ants finally entered the ring it took twenty-six minutes to get a result. In a mining camp the preliminaries would have been arranged in two seconds, and without an', and the corpse would have been carried out and all hands ginned up before the twenty-six minutes had elapsed. ' "Western methods are sometimes hur ried, but the results are enormous The weather bulletin gives a gen eral report of the temperature in. "Eastern Oregon" aDd says the high est was 98 on Sunda', etc. Eastern Oregon is a very large country, hence the report as to the tempera ture must depend upon the portion of Eastern Oiegon where it was taken. At The Dalles the thermom eter Sunday stood at 3 o'clock at exactly 100. At Pendleton a few days befere, we are told it was 106. Jt is an impossibility to giye the temperature of Eastern Oregon at a given time, for it will vary at least twenty degrees. Congressman Ellis was at the Per kins hotel, Portland, Saturday and Sunday, and it is said that he was the busiest man in Oregon, and the hotel seemingly the most popular one in th city. The delegation of those desiring to devote their ser vices to Uncle Samuel was there in i force, and the bell boys received tips for carrying cards up to Congress man Ellis' room until they thought thev had a small section of the Klondike. And yet they received no satisfaction, for until the balance of the Oregon congressional delega tion arrives no recommendations will be made. We notice among those booked for passage on the Elder, now on her way to Alaska, the name of C. H. Hell. Of course it is only sur mise on our part as to his fate in the Klondike, but we venture the asser tion that before be gets there he can drop the middle letter cf his name without changing the nature of the scenery that will be most familiar to him. The Crook County Journal reaches us this week with all the brands and ear-marks of Hugh Gourlay's versa tile genius on its pages. No smooth er pencil than his puts black lines representing thought on white paper, and Crook county is to be congratu lated upon securing his servicjs. Among other questions asked ap plicants for certificates to teach were three or four concerning Cuba, some of which would bother a statesman. The series reads : "Where is Cuba ?" "What people live there?" "What is their religion and government?" The last is a stumper. ELT'S CREAM BALM Is a positive care. Apply into the nostrils.
