A stono crosswalk is being put down
on Washington street across Second.
This is a move that everyono interested
in the city's welfare highly appoves of,
and wo hope thut more walks of this
character will bo put in in ,the near fu
ture. Tuesday the Woodmen had n monu
ment placed over the grave of J.
Thompson, a inembor of that lodge, who
died some time ago. It .was put in by
Louie Coinini, and, being one of the
finest monuments in the cemetery, it
rollects a great deal of crodit on the
atone cuttor who constructed it. .
A letter received from the Oregon

At present the society tins four boys, a
baby one week old, another one month
old and two little fellows 2 and 3 years
old, which they would like to have fam-
; ilies adopt. Address Rev. I. F. Tobey,

The preliminary hearing of William
Lemon was finished yesterday evening.
He wus bound over under $200 bonds to
appear before the next (grand jury. The
only evidence apaiuBt Lemon was that
he bad the saddle in his poBession, and
he did not Introduce any evidence in hiB
own defense. This morning Phil Bro
gau, Jr., went his bond, and he was re
leased. Tomorrow is the day set for the hang
ing of Durrant, and many still have
fears that be will, with the aid of his
clever attorneys and the abundance of
cabh that come from some source, to as
sist him, get another lease on life. If
those forces are permitted to work to
ward staying his executiou it will be a
shameful proceeding, and will bo viewed
as such by every clear minded man in
the country.

laundries, or rather wash houses, all of
them run by Chinese, and as the major
ity of our people do not like their work,
the bulk of the washing goea to Port-
and. What we want and want badly is
steam laundry that will do our work
satisfactorily and furnish employment
to white labor in this city, and as soon
us.somoentorprislng.uiau starts an estab
lishment of this kind he can rostusstirod
that he will receive Uie liberal patron
age of everyone. Two laundries have
'been started already in this city, and
(heir work and management have been
tjuch that they failed, but this is no
reason why unyone doing good work and
conducting their business in a business
like manner, should not make a success
of it.

Porter, one of tho clerks in that estab
Jlshment, and presented in payment a
check from F. C. Jackson of Hood River
for $57.25 in favor of a man named
Uones, which he claimed was his name.
Mr. Porter, not doubting the check,
gave him the change and he left the
store.
Inquiries were afterward made con
cerning the paper, and it waB found to
be a forgery. The officers were notified
and a search instituted. About 5
o'clock Mr. Porter met the man and he
inquired for the exprees oflice. Mr.
Porter told him that he would show him
where it was, and took the man around
on Second street, where they met Night
watchman Wiley, and he was turned
over to him.
After leaving the store he changed his
clothes, und it was only by his features
that he was recognized.
He had his pioliminary hearing before
Justice Filloon, and his bonde were fixed
at $200, to appear before the next grand
jury. No bondsman appeared, and he
was placed in jail.
It was found from letters which were
in his pos8ess!on that his name is
Claude Rice, and that he has a mother
and sister, who live in Albany.
