Plans are on foot for a cattle conven
tion at Pendleton to be held ut some
date during the second and third week
iu Fubruary, not yet decided upon.
From ail appearances this will be an
event of great interest, and of decided
vulue to the cattle-raisini: industry
throughout the Paciliu Northwest.
Breeder will meet grower and grower
will meet buyer personally, with the re
sult that the mutual interchange of
ideas should prove oeneUeiuI to all.
Some people are doing great injustice
to the D. P. & A. N. Compuuy as well
as the White Star Line by saying that
the latter company allowed itself to be
bought oil' by the former, uud that it
was only by bribery that captain IIos
ford wua induced to withdraw the lone
from the middle river. We kuow that
such is not tho cuse. The reason that
the lone quit runuiug between the Cas
cade locks and The Dalles is because it
Has a losing proposition for that com
pany, and it was only on account of the
lack of patronage that caused her own
ers to take the boat oil', and not on ac
a count of any bribery on the part of the
D. P. it A. N. Company.
The committee on invitation for the
Elks' charity ball, to be given on tho
11th iust,, have decided not to send in
vitations to pet suns in this city, they
being sent only to persons in other towns
and the surrounding country. It Is in
evitably the case that some of our towns
pec pie are overlooked when Invitations
are issued, and the Elks on this occa
sion extend a general invitation to
everyone, as long as they are not of a
questionable character. If anyone has
friends outside of the city whom they
wish to invite, they can have invitations
sent to thoiu by presenting their names
to one of the members of the committee
on invitation. This ball Ib given for a
good purpose, and nothing is being over
looked to make it a grand success.
Some time ago Nightwatchmuu Wiley
found a valise hid under a box near the
O. K. A N. ice house, east of the city,
containing some photographs and other
articles of little value. One of the pict
ures resembled Jack Shannon, stevedore
of the steamer Regulator, who had a
number of articles stolen from his birth
tn the steamer about two months ago.
Shannon was well known in Oregon
City, and his picture was sent to Chief
of Police Burns, of that'place, and upon
Investigation he found it to be Shan
non's picture. This would go to prove
that when the boat waB robbed tbe
thieves did not go down the river as the
officers supposed, but on the contrary
went in the opposite direction. Had
those articles been found shortly after
the robbery they might have aided in
the search for the guilty parties, but so
much time has passed that it is doubt
ful if they will do any good now.
NEWS NOTES.
