In October the big fellows will come along. - Work on the foundation of Prof. Gavin's residence, to Je built on the corner of Union andyTJleventh streets, has been commenced. - It is reported that a bridge across a deep ravine between Sprague landing and Wind rivet has been burned out and that the road is impassable. Visitors to Portland say it presents a livelier appearance than it has for years. The Klondike that is, and the big wheat shipments that are to be, are the cause. As will be seen by a notice elsewhere in this issue, all members of the com mitters for the tournament are requested to meet at the council chambers to night. Work oh the Catholic church is being pnshed very rapidly, and another month will see it almost completed. It will be one of the finest cnurcn eaincea in. Eastern Oregon. s The wheat market took a email tum ble this week, but the authorities seem to think the prices will not go any lower than they are, with a strong possibility of their going higher. C. E. Porter this morning at the Uma tilla house allevs broke the bowling re cord for The Dalles, with a score of 77. The score by frames was 3 strikes, a spare, six strikes and 3 pins on the last ttrike. The mountains west of Mt. Adams are full of prospectors, and it will not be at all surprising if some good discoveries are made. The Rankin ledue, on the head of Lewis river, Ss said to Bhow some very fine ore. i The unusual occurrence of a train on fire was seen in Cle-Elum last Monday. A Spark from the engine dropped among the hay of a carload of cheep, and was eoon blown into a blaee and the car was soon in flames. One hundred and twenty-five sheep were burned to death. A carload of horses belonging to Robert Alverson of Ellensbnrg, en route for Dyea, were next to the sheep car, and was Ibadly scorched. The sheep were shipped from Yakima. Judge Ulakeley has open the building of bis residence, and we understand work will be J4egua at once. The building will baput up on the northwest corner of fourth and Wash ington streets. The weather forecast for tomorrow is fair, and for Friday fair and warmer. The variety of weather now prevailing suits nearly everybody, and Mr. Pague can make a very popular hit by continu ing it indefinitely. Mr. Singleton this morning had the machinery of his planer and box factory, which has been operated here for some time, on board the Regulator. He will set it up either on the White Salmon or the Little White Salmon. Wheat is coming in very slowly, ow ing to the fact that harvesting is not yet over and every available man and team is at work saving the crops. In a few weeks the East End will be crowded with teams delivering the biggest and best grain crop ever raised in Eastern Oregon. The Regulator was quite late last night, on account of the high wind jwbich caught her at a landing by a sandbar and forced her broadside to on the bar. It required a kedge anchor and the use of a capstan to get her swung off into the stream where she could use her wheel. , Henry Stewart, who shot and serious ly wounded Jasper Neaselroad in What com last May, pleaded guilty laBt Satur day of assault With intent to kill, and was sentenced to five years in the peni tentiary in Walla Walla. Stewart made a written statement of the circumstances leading up to the shooting. Dr. Brosius who assisted in making the autopsy on the body of Dan Maloney, said that in the average man the wound would have caused death in from ten minutea to seven hours. As it was eeven days and over from the time of the shooting until death ensued, it would indicate that Maloney'a vitality was 24 times that of the average man. , Mr. Schonno, in digging a well on bis place on Third street, noticed that at the depth of about ten feet there was a flue bed of washed gravel, two or three feet in thickens, lying on top of a cement bedrock. With the instincts of an old miner, he panned out some of it, and was astonished to find quite a good pros pect, every pan showing several quite ood colors. Mr. Schanno does not hink it a Klondike, and is not going to ining, but the gravel and gold shows at where the town stands the river at ne time used to flow. Ed Fortner, who lives onion the Mc Kay, related a peculiar experience which happened on his ranch a few days ago. He was engaged in hauling in hay, having several working for him and just about the time for them to go, to work a fire was discovered near the barn. It was quickly extinguished and they began to look around for a cause. It was not caused by smoking, but Mr, Fortner is of the opinion that it was caused by the sun reflecting on the mold board of a plow, as there were two plows near where the fire started. Mr. Henry LadahofF, who has been rospecting for several weeks on McCoy creek, came up on the Regulator laet night. He tells ns that more than 800 acres of placer ground have been filed upon, many of the claims being on the side ot the mountain. There is consid erable gold in the Creek anil through the soil on the mountain Bide, but no paying claims have yet been developed. J. L. Langille of Hood River, bad a shaft down 33 feet in a body of cement gravel, when Mr. LadahofF left, and expected to reach bedrock in a few feet more. The gravel was not prospecting well. Quite an amueing incident happened this morning a few minutes before the Regulator palled out. Among the other freight to go. was a small two-horse wagon. The covered top had been low ered. and the wagon stood on the wharf until the balance of the freight- Was loaded. It was then backed on and into the forward starboard gangwav. The top struck the upper deck with a crash, and then there was a commotion under the canvas and an old gentleman bobbed out, looking too utterly sjilly for any thing, as the crowd gaye him the laugh He had evidently stowed away' and was going to take the trip as freight.

JHe baa been sinaing only his remark as it steadily all day, and able vitality kept him up as long did. An autopsy was held this morning by Doctor Hollister and Doctor Brosius of Hood River. The ballet passed through the liver, then through the right kidney and bedded itself ' in the back, almost passing through, as it was found within an inch of the skin.

It is not an unusual these days to bear of new and rich mineral discoveries be ing made in the gold fields of Union county east of this city. The greatest strike to be reported since the finding of the fabulously wealthy ledge near Sparta last week, is one just made on Paddy creek above the Reed mine, about thirty-five miles from Union.
