if the farmers of the northwest would

made by the people of Nebraska in rais

Yesterday when J.
his grocery store in
II. Croes entered
the Vogt block he
found that the side door which opens on
Federal street had been forced during
the night. After entering the burglars
tore open the money tills but were dis
sapointed by finding but a small amount
ot money as nearly all the change had
been removed on the previous night be
fore the store was closed. After Coding
no money in the tills they walked out
without taking anything in the way of
goods. They were evidently not pro
fessional Eafe crackers or else they were
scared away before they got a chance to
make an attempt to force the strong
sate.
The funeral of Miss Percy Wing, who

corded that privileges. There were
many beautiful floral tributes. Each cf
Miss Wing's pupils deposited a bunch ot

universal favorite.

WILL DREDGE FOR GOLD.
Barge! to Be Built to Work the Snake
Itlver Bars.
E. S. McComas, a well-known min
ing man of Baker City, was in Portland
Thursday on an important mission. He
came for the purpose of contracting for
the shipment to Palmer on the Snake
river, of about 500,000 feet of red fir
lumber, to be used in the construction
of seven mining dredges. These dredges
are to work mining bars in the Snake
river, about five miles above the Boise
crossing. Red fir is the best material
for the purpose, and Mr. McComas ex
pects to ehip the lumber from Portland,
if he can secure favorable terms.
The minining enterprise which . Mr.
McComas represents seems to be one of
the most extensive character. He states
the barges will cost $18,000 each, and
the building of one will require 70,000
feet of lumber. It is proposed to ship
the lumber direct to Palmer.
For the past four year Mr. McComas
has been engaged in prospecting the
bars in ths Snake, and he is confident
he has secured very valuable posses
sions. He has dieposed of a considera
ble portion of his claims to some mon
eyed men, and now the intention is to
dredge the bars he has secured.
"Mining experts examined bare on
the Snake river," he said, "and report
ed forty to fifty cents to the yard, which
is more than I expected could be se
cured. I think the gravel will vield
twenty-five cents a yard. Now a dredge
can be operated on these bars at a
profit is the yield is only ten cents to the
yard, as it has been done. With the
fine prospect before us we anticipate a
good income.
"These dredges will be constructed
with an eddless chain and bucket in
front, which will scoop up the material
and carry it to the sluices on the barge.
A dredge of this kind will cut right
through a gravel bar, making a channel
ior itself. The front end may be shifted
around and everything scooped np and
washed out. I regard this scheme as
highly important and one ot the most
extensive in the Northwest. I have
given four years to a most careful and
searching investigation, and I base my
conclusions on what I have found mv-
self. The Yukon country is not to be
compared with the Snake river dis
trict. "'At Baker City things have been very
quiet, owing to the closing down of the
Virtue mine, but the recent transfer of
the property to some olher parties, who
have a rich collateral vein, which means
a general revival. The tunnel will be
extended to this vein, which is very
rich, and the plant will put into ope
ration. There is some apprehension at
La Grande over the effect the annexa
tion of Hawaii will have on the beet
sugar factory. On the whole country
east of the mountains is prosperous."
Mr. McComas is an interesting char
ter himself. He has been in Eastern
Oregon since about 1860, first living in
La Grande, where, in company with J.
Jeffries, he started the La Grande Sen
tinel. For the past few years he he has
engaged extensively in mining. Al
though the frosts of many years have
whitened his locks and grizzled his
monstache, he seems aa full of energy as
he was when he edited the first Demo
cratic paper published m Eastern Ore
gon.

Murderer Arrested.
Sherriff Dayidson, of Helena, Mon
was in Portland yesterday on his way to
Oakland, Or., to take into custody Joe
Allen, who is wanted in Montana for
the murder of J. S. Reynolds on July
24th.
Allen was arrested at Oakland several
days ago by Constable Ruth, and is now
in jail at that place. The circumstances
attending the crime go to show that it
was committed for the purpose of rob
bery, and it was a most cold blooded af
fair.
Reynolds was a eheepherder, and he
and Allen traveled together as partners,
Allen,who was not en adept at shearing,
putting In his time filling sacks and
loadingjwool, and acting generally as
helper. The two men came to Montana
together from Shoupe, Idaho, and
worked during the spring clip.
They last worked about twenty-five
miles from Helena, and on getting
through spoke of trapping for the rest
of the summer. They were last camped
near Mr. Martin's place, where Rev-
nolds and Allen were seen Sunday!
night, July 24tb, lying down, both ap-
parently asleep. The following morn
ing Steve Arnold found a hat near the
camp which had been worn by Rey
nolds, and also observed some blood on
the ground. He at once instituted a
search, and discovered the body of Rey
yolds in the bushes wrapped in a blanket.
Reynolds had been shot in the top of the
head with a Winchester, and judging
from the location of the wound, the
shooting was done while he waa asleep.
