This afternoon Dan Maloney's condi

sot now expected that he will live
through the night.

Yesterday Dr. Brnsins of Hmd River,
was called in consultation with Dr. H-l-lister
on Maloney's case. Yesterday
Maloney had a high fever and symptoms
of peritonitis, and this morning there
is little if any hope of his palling
through.

t Government by injunction is a rather
word she bad received from him for
nearly four years. The letter brought,
assurance that her father was alive and
prosperous, and sent her the means to
return to ber old home in Minnesota.
Some eight years ago, leaving four
daughters in Minnesota, Mr. Johnson
and his son went to Washington, where
they remained three years; then they
decided to try their fortnnes in Alaska.
During the first year of their stay in
that country the daughters heard from
them occasionally; then nearly four
years passed with no news from the ab
sent ones', and his daughters had given
them up for dead, when the father re
turned to his old home having been one
of the lucky men in Alaska.

Mr.O.W. Cook brought to this office to
day some specimens of corn grown on his
place on 3-Mile creek that reminds one
of old days back in Illinois. The ears
are about a foot long and are well filled
clear to the tips. We note though that
the cobs are larger and the grains shorter
than on the EaBtern corn, but this is
true of all corn grown on the coaBt. The
specimens brought by Mr. Cook are way
beyond the average for Oregon.
A man named F. P. Riley has been
trying to stoff the Tacoma papers with a
story that he had come back from the
Klondike with $85,000 in gold, which he
had taken out in a few months, and
which he carried on his back a distance
of 600 miles on the Da! ton trail. As $85
000 in Klondike gold would weigh about
425 pounds, and as Riley carried that
weight 26 miles a day for 23 days, he is
entitled to the championship as the
itrea'test pedestrian in America, or else
the greatest liar.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Elizabeth
Bolton took place this afternoon at 4
clock, from the family residence.
Some time ago Mrs. Bolton had ar
ranged for ber fqneral, selecting pall
bearers, and requesting tbat Rev. Wm.
Michell conduct the .services. In com
pliance with this request, the services
were conducted today. A telegram was
received this morning from Zenas Bol
ton, and, as it was impossible for him to
get here today, the funeral, which other
wise would haye been postponed, took
place this afternoon. '

The body of a man was found .on the
O. R. & N. track between Wallula and
Umatilla Sunday morning by the train
men. The bead, shoulders and arms in
one piece were first found and a mile
further down the track the remainder of
the body was picked up. The man was
probably stealing a ride on the passenger
which backed down the track Saturday
evening to Umatilla, when the accident
tbat deprived him of bis life occurred.
The body was cat in twain immediately
below the arm pits. There was a fairly
good, watch on the remains when found,
but further particulars of the affair
coma not oe learned today. Ahe name

Heavy holders of wheat at Athena
could not withstand longer the presenre
of high prices and "let go" Friday after
noon. Sales aggregating 180,000 bushelB
were made to the Pacific Coast Eleyator
Company at 76 cents for club, and 78
cents for blnestem. About 160,000
bushels of this amount were sold by
funr large holders, T. J. Kirk, Mr. Cop
pock, the First National bank of Athena,
and C. W. Hollis. Tbe other 20,000 was
made up of small holdings. Tbe receipt
of over $135,000 at Athena for this "lit
tle dab" of wheat alone will add much
to the bneiness activity of that progres
sive town. -

Col. Pat Donan was here ' yesterdav,
gathering statistics for a book wbich be
will get out for the O. R. & N., showing
the resources of the country. Col. Donan
prepared the copy for a similar work for
tbe Rio Grande road, tbe first edition of
which cost the company $40,000 dollars
Donan has a style all bis own, ana to
say that it is "catchy," does not do it
justice, for while tbe qnaintness of bis
arguments is always visible, it must not
be lost sight of that there is always
substantial facts behind them. One of
the most startling calculations ever
made! was that of Donan's concerning
tbe unlimited wealth of Salt Lake. He
proved by the analysis of the water and
the accepted area and depth of the lake,
tbat the minerals contained in solution
by the waters of Salt Lake would load a
train of cars reaching from the earth to
the moon. That its value was greater
than the entire national debt. He also
made the statement wbich was laughed
at at the time, tbat in one vailey in
Utah was a bed of asphalt in which
cattle stuck like flea in sticky fly-paper.
Yet he was correct.
Above all things Donan is observing.
He noted as a remarkable coincidence
tbe fact that Moses led the Hebrew
hosts through the wildernees to tbe Jor
den, which rises in a fresh water lake to
empty into the Dead Sea. Tbat Brigham
Young led his followers across the desert
and located them just as Moses did, be
yond the Jordan. Tbe old Jordan flos
from a fresh water lake sooth 70 miles
into the Dead Sea, the new Jordan flows
70 miles north into another dead sea.
Pat Donan 'eft last night for Walla
Walla, and from that point will follow
the O. R. & N. line and branches, and
will write concerning the territory cov-
Donans' facile pen
to make known in his own inimitable
way the facts concerning this section
of tbe great West.
