Tom Farger, of Tygh Itldge, had tho
misfortune the other day to lose twenty
two fat hogs whose Hggreg.ite weight waH
estimated at 7,H0O pounds, net. Mr.
Fargher had engaged men to kill tho
hogs und after they wero slaughtered
their livers were found diseased and
their flesh so much tainted that he had
them removed to a distance fro-n the
farm buildings where they were piled in
a hep, wood and brush thrown around
them, and tho whole turned into ashes.
It was a strange procedure for they were
probably worth a hundred dollars for
oap grease, but, fortunutely, Tom fa
well of! aud can stand the loss.
Dick Slgman, of Dufur, came into
town today to attend to some business
at the court house. After asking the

been issued in his favor, he was handed
one th.it was issued March 10, 1893,
seven years ago. and signed J. B. Croe
Biu, clerk, by El. Martin, deputy. The
warrant had lain uncalled for during all
these years. Dick insisted the county
should pay him interest, but Alie of
ficials could not see it in that light.

In
Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the Sier
ras," delivered his lecture, "Lessons Not
Found In Rook?," and narrated his ex
periences In "our Artie Empire" to b
large and appreciative audience, last
evening, at First Raptlst Cliurcji, says
the Orcgonlan. Ilia discourse was char
ncteristlc of the man as he is known to
tho world. He followed no continued
line of thought, but scemlnely allowed
his thoughts to wander as they would.
For a moment ho would speak in the
faniliar tones of a story teller relating
his adventures to a number of friends.
Then in tho midst of it he would drop
tho easy, colloquial style and paint the
beauties of a bit of nature or the horrors
of some fearful experience in language
most vivid and thrilling. Hi: ppoko as
a poet, a dreamer, n frontiersman nnd a
man of the world. Ho carried his hear
ers in a breath from the sublimo tj tl e
ridiculous and from laughter to the
most touching pathos.
The poet came forward unannounced,
a tying that he preferred, with Mark
Twain, to introduce hlmEelf, eo as not to
leave out any of the fact?.
"I was in Pns," he said, "during the
Franco German war. Food was scarce.
The people were reduced in provender
to the point where a good fat rat was
eaten with a relish. I was invited to a
chicken dinner one'day, and what do
yon suppose was served?"
A voice from she audience called out
"Rats!" "No," calmly proceeded the
speaker, "not rats, but chicken. I ex
pected chicken, and I cot it. We usual
ly get what we expect in this world."
Miller tolJ of his home on the heizhts
back of Oakland. Cal., and described
the eetting ol the sun behind the
mountains opposite the Golden Gate in
language of exquisite beauty.
The recital of several of his best-known
poems was not the least enjoyable
feature of the evening. Joaquin told of
his life long resolution to write nothing
in praise of valor that would incite to
war, but, nevertheless, his next selec
tion wns the recitation of a poem heart
ening the Boers to give the British
Knch welcome with Mich will
As Uoston Rave in battle's wlilrr
That rcl dread day ut Hunker JIf II.
Leaving the platform for a moment,
the poet reappeared in the garb of furs
that he wore on his famous trip to the
Klondike. With entire freedom from
the restraints of conventionality he
diew tho mlnieter's chair from its place
back of the desk and rested his foot on
its velvet while he held forth on the
neatness of the Indian workmanship
displayed by his leather moccatir.s.
"Shall I go to the Klondike?" Tho
speaker said ho always answered the
query in this way: "Alaska is the
treasure-house of the world. I never
knew a man to spend a reasonable time
and effort therj without amassing a
reasonable fortune. But no man etays
there a reasonable length of time with
out bringing away frost in his hair and
beard that no brush can remove. To
tho man who is in trouble love, for
example and does not far bard knocks,
Alaska holds out an inviting hand. Tiie
terrible hardships endured on tbat first
mad rusli for the Eldorado of the north
are now a thine of the past, but hard
work and lots of it are still necessary to
success In that frozen land."

Mr. Vickers was a member of the
local lodge of MoJern Woodmen of the
World and carried 2000 insurance, one
thousand in his wife's name and five
hundred each in those of his son nnd
daughter. This sum will be received by
the afllicted family in due time but the
Woodmen have done and are doing all
in their power to meet expenses as they
havo arisen, eo as to save as much as
possible for tho survivors. An appeal
was made to thM public yesterday which
realized about $18, but aj two nurses
are in constant attendance, not to speak
of medicine, food anil medical attend
ance, this sum would not suffice for a
week's expense. Any further assistance
rendered will be appreciated by those
who have taken a special interest in this
afllicted family.
The deceased Mr. Vickers had the
reputation of being a worthy man. The
family live at tho Ninth street bridge,
