The statement going the rounds of the
papers that C. II. Walker is not the eld
est native Eon in Oregon, tiiat honor be
ing accorded to Joseph La Bonte, of St.
Paul, Marlon county, is misleading,
says the Albany Democrat. Mr. Walk
er invariably claims to be the oldest
white native son, knowing that there
wero men on the Indian reservations
much older than he. We are informed
Mr. La Bonte is at least p. half-blood,
his father being a French Canadian, his
mother an aboriginal native daughter.
The Mormon preachers that have been
working The Dalles for eometlme are
reported to have said that they had a
revel tion ordering thorn to come here,
that they would meet with persecution,
and all that Bert of thing, but they were
to hang on and stay, notwithstanding,
presumably till the town should be con
verted to Mormonism. It would not
surprise the writer of theeo lines one bit
if, in tho event of these brethern con
tinuing to quote Isaiah 4:1 to The Dalles
sisterhood when they call on them,
which uenerallv happens when the men
folks are not at home, if some big footed
sun of a gun of a Dalles Gentile would
not have a revelation exhorting him to
elevate these beloved biethern into the
next township.

A mile south of Atchison, Knn., the
entire side of a bliift" is sliding into
the Missouri river. The nvnlanchc,
says tho Chicago-Record, is n quarter
of a mile lung, ami at its base is the
most expensive piece of railroad truck
on the Missouri Pacific system. There
is probably not another quarter of a
mile of track in the United .States
which it costs more to maintain. The
odd thing about this monster land
slide is that it has been slipping down
for 20 years, and unless it lakes an
unexpected plunge will probably be
slipping for the next 20 years, and
possibly fifty or n hundred. The ava
lanche is moving more or leas at nil
times, but not enough to require
watching by the .Missouri Pacific ex
cept about two months in the spring.
During the winter the moisture is
held in the ground, and when the
frost thaws and the spring rains come
the great muss of earth begins slip
ping. Sometimes it comes down a
foot in 21 hours, and once in awhile
it slides six feet. The Missouri Pa
cific then puts n force of from 20 to
50 men to work pulling the track back
to its proper place and keeping it
level, A man is employed to wit t eh
the track at night and see that it
does not get so far out of line us t.
topple u train over into tho river. Or
ders are issued to engineers to go slow
over the bad track, for the jar of u
train might cnuse an unprecedented
move.
The hi ufT in one of the highest of
the very high bluffs nlong the Kansas
side of the .Missouri river from Knn

are one or more strata of rc'.: aggre
gating from 20 to 40 feet in thickness,
There seems to have been u perpen
dicular split down through thisioek
dividing the blulV iilmoct half in two,
nnd extruding n quarter of n mile
north and couth. The sida which lay
on the river, or east side, slid lieeiiin-"
there wan nothing to hold It, while
the opposite, or went ride, waa up
against another bluff. Thus the east
side began gradually to sink Into the
river ni'd h;ss laid bare a wall 30 or
more feet high in places. Here and
