of Granite, while Alamo is pi ejected at

At every Ore there are always a lot of
ridiculous acts committed which are
never noticed particularly until the
smoke has cleared away. Tho other
morning nt Heppner, as tho fire bell
was clanging forth its horrible peale, a
lot of young fellows rati into tho hose
house and grabbing a new racing cart
that hadn't n foot of hose on it, rushed
out and down the street they went at a
speed that would have put o New York
Ore engine to shame. It took several
deep, red yells from the lungs of the
marshal to make the boys stop, and it
is impossible now to find anyone willing
to acknowledge that he was in the gang.
Alva Simmons, the man recently re
leased from the county jail, was, so tho
authorities think, a kleptomaniac.
While confined in the jail lie would take
anything he found lying around loose
and hide it in bis cell. He seemed
to have a great mania for candles, and
would tell his fellow prisoners when
they asked him for a tallow-dip that
they were all gone. When he left the
jail he had something like a half n box
of caudles stored away. These were
confiscated and will be kept for future
inmates. It is thought lie was saving
the candles so he could sit up nights
when it wiib quiet and figure out how
much it would cost him to get out of the
scrape he so easily fell u victim to.
The Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company, with its customary energy
and enterprise, is making an effort to
eecuie different species of trout from tho
United States lieh commission, fur the
purpose- of stocking Meacham Creel: und
other streams in tho Blue Mountains
particularly those- in tlte vicinity of Blng
ham Springs and Meacham, with ti view
to making the Dine Mountain region a
more attractive summer resort for
anglers and sportBmon. The company
has secured the co-operation of the Ore
gon Hflb und Gumo Association in this
undertaking, which, If successful, will
add greatly to the attractiveness of the
Blue Mountain region, and ut the Bame
time lll bathe means of drawing con
siderable travel from othor directions
over its line of road. It la a good Idea,
and deserves oneouvagoir.ent.
Very few caliuon aro being caught In
theLowor Columbia at present, either
culuooks or steelheade, although owing
to the flue weather, therp is a great deal
of gear in the water, and fishermen are
out all the time, says the Oregonian.
Usually quite a number of eteelheads
aro caught at this time of the year, and
there is generally a fair sprinkling of
chinook among them. Tito scarcity of
fish tends to create fears of a small run
this season, but there is nothing on which
to found any tuch calculation. Fisher
men say there ought to be some result
visible this r-eaeon from tho work of the
hatcheries, and if there iB not, it will be
discouraging. The chances are that
there will not be much of a June rise in
the Columbia this season, and fishermen
used to say "Plenty of water, plenty of
lieh." At all events they will have to
take the fish as they come, and they will
take them all, if they can.
The Uwaco Journal publishes the fol
lowing article on reported gold dis
coveries at Long Beach : "On Wednes
day the town was set wild with excite
ment, by tho report of Mr. C. W. Farrel
of Long Beach, that in one duy lie had
obtained !f4 of gold from the beach sand,
or rather from tho dry sand thrown up
from the beach. In proof of his asser
tions, he had a small vial of gold dust,
w hich lie claimed was the work of a day,
and had a lot of work done in the way
of copper plates, etc. A number of our
citizens went out to tho beach Wednes
day to investigate, but upon their return
they were ail dumb, but from what they
were prevailed to say, endorsed tho re
port. With a rival to Cupe Nome, the
finest summer resort on tho Northwest
coast, the bonanza of Columbia river
Chinook salmon, the prospects of South
west Washington has taken on a new
Impetus."
Club shoot,
Great interest le being manifested in

PAUL MOHR ROAD.
What Oilier Peoplo Hny of llin Central
Navigation and Ciinttructlon Co.
Some facts which are worth consider
'ing, nnd so far ae can bo learned are
something new to our citizens, aro sug
gested in tho following which is taken
from tho Agriculturalist:
"While in The Dulles a few days ago,
we learned that the peoplo of that city
are taking a very active interest in the
Paul Mohr road. Tho exact location of
the portago terminus has not been
definitely settled as yet. Negotiations
are etilt in progress between the repre
sentative peoplo of The Dalles and tho
steamboat officials with a Tiew to have
the depot erected at n point opposite
that town. The town lias o fie red a
number of inducements, and it ia prob
able that they will bo accepted, and in
stead of stopping at the Big Eddy, the
line will be continued down the river
bank for a distance of three miles. We
learned, further, that the steamer
Frederick Billings, now at Pasco, which
was recently purchased for the com
pany, will go into commission soon nnd
will be operated on the upper Columbia
and Snake river.
"Up in eastern Klickitat Frank Aid
n'ch, of Goldendale, is busily nt work
for this company, explaining the merits
and advantages it be have t) t' e
farmers in the way of cheaper transpor
tation facilities. From Klickitat he goes
across tho Columbia river into Gilliam
county. Mr. Aldnch informs us that
construction will soon be commenced on
two steamers at Portland and one at
Pasco for tho company, and also two
large barges at Astoria. The two Port
land steamers will be 200 feet long, and
the one at Pasco will be 100 feet long.
Besides thse three large Etcnmsrs, Eome
smaller ones aro under contemplation.
These are the steamers which will be
operated in connection with the portage
under construction at The Dalles.
"Ira Henderson, of Colnmbns, who
has charge of the work in progress at
Tunnel Rock, a point opposite the Hell
Gate in the Columbia river, speaking of
the progress of work along the line says
he is of the opinion eome telling work is
being done just now by the Cential
Navigation & Construction Company,
aside from tho work going on w itliout
the interruption of winter weather
changes and covered by the contract of
Winters & Chapman.
Refunding i:uuU.
Saturday night the water commission.
ers held a meeting in the recorder's
ollice. at which President Seufert and
Commissioners Phirman, Fish. Bolton,
Moore, Buchler and Randall were
present.
Tho matter of issuing bonds wbb
brought beforo the meetinp mill it una
warmly discussed whether bonds to the
amount of $20,000 or $23,000 should be
issued. On motion it was finally de
sided to issue $20,000 and use the $5,000,
now iu tho treasury, as Dart nnvment on
the bonds that are now outstanding.
the commissioners wero almost one
voice on the question .of the amount to
be issued, and had the matter gone us
they desired they would have bonded
for $25,000, and kept tho $5,000 for a
sinking fund and needed improvements.
However, a majority of tho council and
a good many citizens were of tho opinion
that it would be belter to pay off part of
tho old debt while tho money wus on
hand, ami bond for the lesser amount.
The commissioners, taking in' consider
ation the wishes of others, did as was
requested but think without doubt, it is
not the wiser plan.
