The Grand Army fair and business carnival which has been in progress here all this week proved a great suc cess. The proceeds of the affair are to be applied to the entertain ment of the delegates to the G. A. U. encampment of the department of Oregon, to be held in this city in February next. It was decided to continue the fair Monday and Tuesriay. " The Salem Grange to day elected officers for the ensuing year and held an otherwise interest meet ing. R- solutions were adopted fa voring the purchaee bv the United States government, and assuming the principal ownershipol the Nic aragua canal, and advance money on cuarantee bonds sufficient to linisii this important work.

They succeeded in bagging twenty -one One fat geere during their hunt, and are able to produce the geese in evidence if their success is questioned by doubting Thomases, so says the East Orcgonian.

A reward of $50 has been offered for the recovery of Mose Baldwin, who is supposed to have been drowned in the Willamette at Eu gene. Or the G. A. R. of Eugene w ill nav the same reward for proof of his whereabouts if living. Eugene Journal : A man by the name of Morton with his wife and two i hildren from Minnesota were tumid out of Baker hotel about two weeks ago, for failing to pay boai 1. Morton started with his fami y for the Kincaid donation claim, saying lie intended to cut wood. He took them to Mr. Jud kin's place end left them, saying he was going 20 miles up the val ley and would return in a day or two. He had not been heard from at last accounts and is supposed to have abandoned them. A stoty of o peculiar faith is re lated by the Eugene Journal as follows : About three weeks ago a family named Baker recently from Nebraska, were found in a tent near the Eugene mill, the father sick, the mother almost blind, and the children too young to take care of themselves and in a most desti tute condition. The people of Eu gene put them in one of Hollis' honacs and furnished them food. Last Wednesday Mrs Baker, with her liitle baby and girl about ten years old got on the northbound local train and started down the valley, leaving her husbat.d in Eu gene. She said she wanted to go to Portland in the hope tbrt Mrs. George H. Williams could restore her sight. The woman and her twolittle children, without money or friends, ptesented a pitable sight. Mrs, Milliron, of Junction, wno was going nome trom kinrene went through the car and collected for the noor blind woman $5.75, and Mrs. Fitch, of Eugene, went through the car below Halsey and collected $2.45 more, making a to tal of $3.20. Mrs. Millhou en- couJagad Mrs. Baker to go to Mrs. Williams, s tying she believed she could restate her sight. They stopped at Oregon City, but will perhaps go on to Portland. RegisUrJohn I). Geoghehan. o the Vancouver land office, gives an opinion of interest to hundred: of settlers in Oregon and Wash ington. Tbt question was : "Are settlers who rcsidu on unsurveyed land prior to the repeal of the pre- mpnon laws still permitted to so hie, the land having been recently surveyed?" Register Georghegan writes : "I rnswer yes to the above qvestion. Settlement is the initi ation of pre-emption laws, and is followed up with filing of a dcclar atorv statement as soon as the land" is surveyed. I am of the opinion that the filing must be al lowed. Pendlo'.oa East Orefconian : A chjeken was slaughtered for the family table recentlv at R. L. Oli ver's place below Pendleton. In oressing the fowl Mrs. Oliver dis covered in the craw two small nuggets of gold about the size and shape of a small nail head. Ho v the chicken found the gold is now the question. About a half-mile below the place is the site of the old Swifts station, and it is thought possibly that some nun ers camping near might have lost part of their "dust," or perchance have buried ac me of their treasuie, to be resurrected at this late dav by scratching fowls.

The quadro-cen-tennial committee from nine to eleven members.

The concurrent resolution was agreed to providing for a holiday recess from Wednesday, the 2od inst., until Tuesday, the 5th prox. 1 he method of designating the chairman of any committed was changed. In this, formerly in the event of the death of the chairman the second member succeeded to the office. This was changed bv giving the appointment of the chairman to the speaker. Springer, of Illinois, suggested the designation of the quadro-cen-tennial committee should be changed to committee on Colum bian exposition. 1 he suggestion was agreed to, and the report was then adopted. Enloc, of Tennesee, offered a resolution for the nppointment of a special committee of five mem bers to induire into the charges made against the administration of his ollice ; referred to the com mittee on rules.

Jesi-e Waterman, a young mai employed by Schussler Bros., wholesale jew elers, was robbed of a box contain ing $20,0'K) worth of loose diamonds and other precious stones this morning, but the thieves failed to get away with the gems. Water man had returned Irom the safe deposit vaults where the jewe's have been kept over night, and as he was ascending the stairs to the firm's place of business, on Kear ney street, lie was knocked down by a rough looking young fellow, who seized the tinbox which the boy was carrying, and ran hastily down the street accompanied by a companion who had apparently acted the part of a lookout. The boy's cries attracted attention, and he was joined in the pursuit by a young man named Andrews.

SLAVE TRADE It Is Still In Full Vogue In Places, BKKKDINU CIIILIIltEN TO- Civilized Nations Ara to Combine to Mak an End of It Morocco Oae of the Lead ri In lu Perpetuation. Paris, Dhc. It). A blockade of the coast of Morocco is within the probabilities of the near future. Should that fail to secure the ends aimed at, nn expedition to the in terior of Muley Hassan's dominions may follow. Negotiations have been begun with one or the other of these objects in view, by the powers which signed the anti slavery protocol of the Brussels conference. According to the re ports of the French and Spanish ministers at Tangiers, Muley Has san has repudiated his own in dorsement of the Brussels agree ment by authorizing the sale of negroes in his empire. Moreover.,, it has been discovered t'lat the sultan 'of Moiocco has" counten anced the foundation of a settle ment at Marakisch. one of the im perial residences, in which the male and female slaves brought from the interior are compelled to marry in order that the children born of these unl oly union-3 may be sold for the sultan's benelit. Europe cannot tolerate so gross a violation of ils decisions, and all the signatory iowers seem virtu ally in accord as to the necessity of an expedition. hotild the contemplated expedi i ion he ordered, France will take advantage of the opportunity of settling the issues relating to Totiat with Muley Hassan. At present the sultan occupies the Tonat territory illegally. It is on the direct route ot the slave cara vans.

One of the (statements lead was as follows: The notorious slave hunter. Ma katubo, brought hack 2000 natives as the result of hi-j last expe lition to Karema. The wretched people were chained in batches of a score. Tnev were like living skeletons. While the caravan was traversing the Kirando country, where tiiere was a famine, the marching slaves were obliged through hunger to dig up ani eat the roots w Inch the animals refused to eat. Hundreds died of hunger, fever ordjseuteiy. A large number of women and children, wlio3e weak ness impeded the march, were drowned. The lagirards through illness were killed with cudgels at the rate of ten to lifty daily. At night thev were sheltered in roof less huts, while the g:?a's taken along w ere kept in covered stables. Every morning the homes ot those who died during the night were dragged out and thrown to the hyenas which followed the camp.

The report of the department of agriculture, w hich has just teen ssued, contains about the clearest concep' ion of the grain market ap- ptaringof some time. 'Ihe eecre- t.iry says: As regards prices, the position is very encouraging. It has mquentiy happened m the past that prices would be high when the production was short. hut this year we have a rare and fortunate coincidence of crops of exceptional dimensions and good prices for the same. The crops are so large and are coming to market in such enormous voluma that the railroads cannot find facilities for handling the traffic. An unprecedented car shortagt' exists, and the roads have bean obliged to issue notice that so more grain can be received until that already in the cars has been moved and unloaded, an actual blockade existing at the leading grain centers. Fortunately, too, our largn surpluses are all needed, for ne; ry every day bring! re ports of famine from some quarter. One day it is from Mexico, another from India, a third from still another part of the world, showing that Russia and Europe are not alone in suffering from deficient harvests. It is this need for all the grain that gives to the farmer such statisfactory prices at a time when his productions are so large. Really, the situation to the pro ducer is full of hope an encourage ment." The department" re ports the average price of wheat on the farm (taking the country as a whole) as 86.3 cents per bushel, and says that this ia 2 cents per bushel higher than the average of the ten years from 1880, and has been exceeded only onre since 1883, namely, in 1888. The average for corn ia figured at 42.2 cents, and it is stated that sine 1H83 Hie value has been higher only in 1837 and in 1890 in both ol , which yea re the crops were very small. The price of oats is 32J2 cents p?r bushel ; but once since 1883, we are told, has the figure been high as this, and the average is 1.3 cents per bushel in excess of that for ten years from 1880.

L. lionney, one of the millionaires of Montana, came to New York Mon day, fie left Montana ten days, ago, he said, but had been caught iu the blizzard which struck Da kota last week and given a taste of a inter weather, which had can d , a delav of some days. "What will the mining output of Montana aggregate this year?" Mr. Bonney was asked. "It will be somewhat greater this year than last," he paid, "and it was in round numbers $44,000,000 last year. A small per centage of the aggregate out put will be gold. Silver, copper and lead are the principal ore." With reference to political affaire, Mr. Bonney said that, except among officeholders or offlceeeek ers, there was little disposition te ' discuss political affairs of any sort. The republicans were confident that Montana was a republican state. The fact that Congressman Carter had been defeated at the polls last year was due to overcon Gdence on the part of his friend. "Is the state for Blaine?" Mr. Bonney was asked. "I think o, w ithout a question," he replied. IilHOKOCS DRIFT. All men are not homeless, but some men are home lee than others. Texas Sittings.
