The Dalles had no celebration July
4th, it abandoned the firemen's tourna

also be abandoned, and Pendleton will

pose of hanging up purses, and so far the
committee is meeting with very poor
success.

Latest reports from Ireland confirm
the statements of the threatened desti
tution there from the destruction of the
crops. The devastation is not confined
to a certain district, but includes all sec
tions of the island. Not since-1847 has
the condition been so serious. The at
tention of the government is urged in
anticipation of the destitution and fam
ine which is imminent.
A very rare specimen of an owl is on
exhibition in Eugene. It is what is
known nmong ornithologists as the
monkey owl, its face bearing a very
striking resemblance to the monkey. It
was captured by George Smith at
Coburg, after he had broken a wing.
This owl is rareiy seen away from Africa,
to which it is native, and it is a question
how it came to this vicinity, says the
Eugene Register.
Mr. A. B. Jones returned Wednesday
from a trip to Grand Forks, B. C. He
found that town rather quiet; for the
reason that most of the people were out
prospecting. Some rich finds in quartz
have recently been made. He saw his
son, Frank, M. F. Sloper and Thomas
Lacey, all doing well. Mr. Jones is the
owner of a placer claim in the heart of
the city, He has leased eleven other
claims and will go to work on them as
soon as he can wind up his business
here and return. Glacier.
If a man has a two-dollar bull pup he
looks after it carefully and does not
allow it to roam all over town at night,
but if he has a boy it is different. He is
turned loose at an early age to go to the
devil, and then the people wonder where
the army ot tramps, bums, dead beats,
loafers, gamblers and drunkards came
from. They are germinated from poor
seed gathered from our streets and
aneys. it may oe tnat your boy is
making a growth in that direction. At
all events the boy should be given an
equal snowing witn the Dull pup.

A report haB been sent out from Eddv
ville, on Yaquina bay, that two miles
and a half from there, on the Dntton
place, a gold quartz discovery has been
maae mat causes great excitement in
Lincoln county. Mining claims, under
United States law, 1500x600 feet, have
been filed fo." over three miles in length
of the canyon. One of the claims on file
at Toledo is named Prosperity. G. W
Bnford, of Yaquina, an experienced
miner, has just returned from the ledges
of the Little Elk, and declares it to be
largely . a decomposed quartzite and
prophyry rock bearing from $13 to $35 to
the ton. A big water power is supplied
by the falls of the canyon, sufficient to
work the mines. To the south is a
large tract of government land, and east
is railroad land. The mine is 20 miles
east of Toledo.
A lady's shoe, found some place in
California, has been started the rounds
of the express offices of the coast, pre
sumably in search of its owner. It has
at least a hundred tags on it, containing
the comments ot the express agents,
some of which are very bright. Most of
the tags are done up in metrical feet,
some of which fit the shoe. It is a num
ber 3, and the lady who lost it has no
idea of the fame the dainty little piece of
foot-wear has earned. Of course it is a
long stretch of the imagination to try to
fill that shoe up, or to build from so
slender a foundation the blessed little
creature who at one time tripped the
streets of soma California town inside
of it. Oar own impression as we gazed
at it was that its owner weighed 116
pounds, had blue eyes and black hair,
and that her name was -Dennis.

A, Good Story.
A good story is told of General J. A.
Early, of the confederate fame. It is
this:
The federals and confederates were
about to engage in battle in Virginia,
during the late war, Gen. Early in com
mand of the confederate side. Just
about the time the firing commenced,
the chaplain to Early's army, a devout
man past middle life, promptly observed
to the General that he had no further
use for him at the time, but in case bis
services should be needed to comfort the
dying, he could be found just over the
bill, and then departed in a gallop.
Gen. Early, indignant at the chaplain's
course, said to those around him : "Now
look at that old scoundrel ; he has been
praying to go to heaven for over thirty
years and the first opportunity he has to
get there, runs away."
Died at Mosier.
