Portland, Oregon. For week eliding Aug,
31, 1SH9:
The temperature has been below the nor
mal. The night were cool and in the beat
of the day the thermometer ranged from
Co to 90 degrees. The rainfall has been
about normal. Showers cf rain occurred in
Western Oregon on the 26th, 2"th. 30th
and 31st; in Eastern Oregon in a few places
showers were experienced. The condition
of the weather at present seems to presage
an early commencement of tbe rainy sea
son, lhe sunshine nas been aoout or De
low the normal. The rains have cleared
the atmosphere of the smoke in many parts
of the state, and to a great extent quenched
the forest fires. These weather conditions
were favorable to the grass, late garden
croducts and late potatoes.
farmers in sections are beginning to work
their summer fallow. The bop picking sea
son bas commenced, tbe rain witl retard
this operation. The general outlook is that
there will be only about a two-third crop,
but of good quality. At Eugene contracts
for bops at 10 cents per pound are reported.
I he wheat output ot the section east oi
the Cascades will be about 70 to 80 per
cent, of tbe average. It is reported that
from Athena more wheat will be shipped
than last year. Uuion county wiil have as
much or more wheat than the average for
shipment. The best wheat of Eastern Ore
gon comes from the section of the country
adjacent to Athena and Mil ton and troin
the Grand Konde Valley. estern Oregon
has generally good wheat, especially so on
the "west side of tbe Willamette river,
The general average of wheat is poorer in
quality than formerly, showing plainly the
ttlect of the hot, dry weather. Eastern
states average about 15 to 20 bushels of
wheat per acre. Oregon, in the warmest
and dryest year on lerord, yields on an
average in western part of state from io to
20 bushels per acre; in tbe liasteru section
from IS to 2d bushel per acre, lhe oat
crop is not an average. Hay in sections is
plentiful; in others somewhat scarce.
u rapes will be abOHt or slightly below an
average in yield, but they are very nne,
Tbe Delaware, Concord, Muscadine and
Black Hamburg are the varieties that are of
the moat value in many sections of fhe
state. The pear crop is gnod, same lor
peaches and plums; they are, however.
slightly smaller in size. Tbe dry weather
and Codlin moth injured the apple crop to
some extent.
There is no change in the condition of the
rivers reported, in sections ot Eastern
Oregon many of the springs and creeks are
furnishing a goodty supply of water, ru
other sections they are absolutely dry.

There arc twenly-one of them, and as
thev are very voluminous and inc'ude
eight corporations uud sixty-eight individ

them has been great, especially as instruc
tions to this end were not received until
July 12, and the bills had to be sent to
the attorney-general's office at Washin
ton to be revised aud signed.
The suits are brought under the provis
ions of au act of congress approved March
2, 18S9, "providing in certain cases for
lhe forfeiture of wagon road grants in the

The defendants in these cases comprise
the following corporations:

home lively litigation is likely to follow

road acoss the mountains was actually
constructed and u?ed for travel, as many

many cases, however, the grants were
fraudulently obtained and should be for
feited.

A Ghastly Discovery.
Eugene Register
Last Sunday morning Mr. R. Bushnell,
who resides near Irving, fonnd the body of
a man, which had been nearly eaten np by
hogs, in Mr. ITashburne's field a short dis
tance south of Irvingl and but a few rods
from tbe taiiroad track. The head was
found several feet from the body, it having
been torn off by the hops. There was a
bullet bole in the forehead, just over the
left eye, and there is no doubt the man was
murdered. About two weeks ago Mr. 6
R. Childs, who lives near the railroad,
heard a couple of men quarreling out on the
track about nine o clock one night and then
heard a pistol fired. He went out and
walked up the track but could see nothing
and the matter was soon forgotten. Last
Sunday Mr. Bushnell found the body a few
rods from the place, where it bad been
thrown over the fence into the brush. Two
purses were found on tho body but there
was co money in either of them, lhe vest
pocket also showed plainly that tbe man
bad carried a watch but that had been
taken and there is no doubt that the man
had bem murdered and robbed and then
concealed iu tbe brnsh. To all appearances
the man was of medium size and about 30
or 33 years of age. There was nothing on
his person with which to identify mm in
any way. tie had in his pocket au almanac
with the advertisement of a druggist in
Montana on the back and a card with the
word Gardner on, but no other papers.
Some parts of the body could not be found
but what was found was buried on the
spot.
Mr. Jennings, ot Irving, held an inquest
over the remains Sunday morning.

KATIE.
Lines dedicated to the memorv of Miss Katie A'
Bolton, who departed this lhe July 17th at her hums
iu Kiui-sley.
She had planned such a busy life,
This merry girl of ours.
"To teach in the future" her watch-word,
So she studied through idle Hours;
Ami must of her noons, aud recesses
Were spent iu this very way,
Going on wilh her lessons,
While the others were at play.
"If I teach I must learn," she would tell
you,
Smillingly noting (heir fun,
"I will take rest from study.
When my diploma is won."
Not that she didn't enjy it,
She was first to suggest a play,
First to answer you laughingly
First in the sad hearts to-day.
None guessed when the term was ended
1 hat it was to be her last.
That the words grave and gav, we heard.
Would make part of a treasured "past."
When she said "good bye" to the scholars
Oalbered arouud the dor
None guessed that her next greeting,
Would be on the farther shore
"I mean to be perfect in teaching,
So I II do my very best"
(This she said thai da')
"And God, will do the rest;
Anticipation is sweeter,
llian realization, some say.
But I know it is very different
1 11 prove it the opposite way."
Now in the dust we have laid her,
Smoothed out a room ot rest.
Closed are the blue eyes, and folded
lhe hands on the death-trozen breast.
Hushed are the feet, that tried ever
The path-way of duty to trace.
Away from the homes sunny brightness
Hidden the sweet, earnest, face.
For the Father, had meant a different life
fortius dear little one.
So we ask for strength in weakness,
lo whisper " I by will be done "
fie saw that this rough earthly school-
fionse,
Would lire one so slight.
And lie took her away in the twilight.
(It deepened for us into night.;
As her schoolmates bent over the casket,
lo whisper their last good byes
One thought seemed present to us
As we noted their tcar-hlled eyes
That though this one of our number,
Her pen and books bud laid down
Before her work had commeuced.
And had gained a harp and a crown;
Tho' she never set a task
Had she not given a lesson.
To do our best with all our might
Aud God. would add bis blessing.
Then for the realization
This is true, is it not?
She had planned, for a school-room,
A mansion she has got.
Let then this thought be our comfort,
When we sign for our evening kiss,
That she has "wou her diploma,"
The darling that we miss.
When we laid her away in sadness
crowned with our truest love.
She had "graduated with honors"
lo the perfect rest above.

Tate Springs, Tenn., July 4, 1SS8.
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.:
During the spring of 1871, while working
In the field at my home in Morgan county,
Ga I pulled oS my shoes to give my feet a
rest. Unfortunately, I walked into a clump
of poison oak, and in a few days my feet
were in a terrible condition, and I could not
put on a shoe because of the soreness and
swelling. I was treated as poison oak cases
usually are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following spring,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at first,
and every succeeding spring for five years
brought back the same condition of the dis
ease, only each time it became more dis
tressing, because I began lo think it was a
lifetime trouble. Finally, I was induced to
try Swift's Specific. I took six bottles, and
to-day am entirely we'.L My improvement
was gradual from the first, and no evidence
of the disease remains. I shall take pleas
ore in testifying as to its curative proper
ties. It is the greatest blood purifier in ex
istence. Yours truly, J. L. Morgan.

LATE NEWS.
A WILD JAIL BREAK. "
Seattle, Sept. 5. A desj cralc at
tempt was made to murder Day Jailer
Patrick Furrahcr this morning, at 8:15,
by the prisoners iu the county jail. The
jailer was attacked and severely wounded
with a razor in the bonds of one of tl.e
prisoners, and was also kicked and pum
meled by others.
This moruiug the prisoners were receiving-
their I reakfast, as usual, and
Jailer Farraher was staudiog close to the
door of the south corri lor, while tho
trusties were passing victuals to the pris
oners. Several had been served, when it came
to the turn of Highwayman Chas. Clarke.
As. lie stepped forward to receive his
allowance, he suddenly threw red pepper
into Jailer Farraher's eves. The high-
wayma's aim was not good, and only oue
eye got tbe benefit of the pepper. The
other eye received a little, but not so
much but what the jailer could see out
of it.
Farraher at once saw that an attempt
would be made to break jail, aud lie
quickly grabbed Clarke by the ttroat
w ith his left hand, and reached down his
right for his revolver.
Burglar Barney Martin, who was next
in the line behind Clarke, dicw a sharp
razor from his pocket and caught hold of
and began slashing the jailer, with the
evident intention of cutting his throat.
ILgiiwaymun James Davis also grappled
with F:irraher, and it is said a fourth per
son, who it was the jailer does not know,
also assisted the three murderous ruffians
in their deadly assault.
During the stiuggle Martin plied his
razor vigorously. The unfortunate jiiler
trot his pistol in position to pull the trig
ger, aud at thut juncture it was knocked
out of his bunds. During the melee a
hut fell over it, and in the intense excite
ment of the moment it lay there until
the whole thing was over.
Farraher was slashed across the nose,
and his cheek was laid open.
When Martin, on two or three occa
sions, put the razor up to his tl.roat lo cut
it, Farraher desperately caught bold of
tho blade and it was rudely pulled
'hrough his hand?, and the result was
that both hands were fearfully cut. The
right thumb was almost severed from the
hand, and a cut exteuds clear across the
palm of tbe le-lt hand.
Finally the ruffians became alarmed by
the cries of the jailer, and broke away
and raa, opening the jil door with keys
taweo irom tne victim s pocket.
Every one of the prisoners was caught
before getting a block awav. Clarke Deius
shot in the shoulder.
JUDGE FIELD'S STOKY.
San Fkaxcisco. Sent. 5 Justice
Field was the principal witness examined
in the Neagle case to-daj. He briefly
detailed tne circumstances relating to
the tragedy as follows: Deputy Sheriff
Neagle and myself entered the dining
room at Lathrop ior breakfast, and soon
after taking our seats Judge Terrv and
wife, who were on the same tram, entered
the room, and as they parsed down the
aisle Mrs. Teny glanced at me for a mo
ment and then turned about and left the
place. Judge Terrv seated hi mseif, but
arose immediately and came towards me.
Before I realized what he intended to do
I felt a powerful blow on my check. I
turned around and saw Terry's glint form
towering over me, with his clenched fiat
upraised. I then heard Neagle 6ay, 'Stop
thut: I am an officer.' I then heard two
pistol shots in quick succession and saw
Terry fall to the floor. I was dazed for
a moment, but soon realized that Terrv
had received a death wound, and I arose
and left the room.

Chicago, Sept. 5. Proceedings in the

er Aiicon, in getting away from Liring,
in Nuha bay, Alaska, ran on to the rocks
at 3 A. M., "Wednesday, the 28th oil.,
stopping nearly amidship. Only a por
tion of the passengers were aware of the
accident till near 4 o'clock, when the
lioats were lowered and orders given to
take the ladies ashore. Good order pre
vailed among the passengers and crew,
and within an hour all were taken ashore
without accident. The steamer broke
in two near the walking beam, becoming
a total wreck. The passengers were
quartered ia a cannery and Indians hu.'s,
and were cared for by the ship's com
pany as well as possible until Sunday,
September 1, when tbe steamship Geo.
W. Elder arrived and took all the pass
engers back to Port Towoseud. The
engines, boilers, etc., and part of the

A LOXE niOHWATMAN.
Lixkville, Or, Sept., 4. Last nigLt
about 12 o'clock the driver of the north
bound stage on the Aver Linkville line
was startled by the familiar command of
"Haiti'' coming from the bushes by the
wayside. He had often declared that no
"d d robber" could hold him up, but
he held his hand up as high us he could.
After robbing the express box of $100,
and the single passenger of $30, the
robber climbed nu the bind boot of the
stage and ordered the driver to go ahead.
Soon the rattle of the t-outh-bnuud stage
could be heard; the robbei commanded
a halt, and orderiug tbe driver to stay
where he wits, slipped away in the
bushes.
The driver listened, the command
"Halt!" was borne to his eats, tbe wheels
stopped and then he heard blows of the
ax on the express box. The south bound
stage was presumably robbed in the
same manner as the north bound, but it
is not known how much money was
taken, as the drivers were not allowed to
speak to each other, aud only oue has
reached here so far. The robber Is de
scribed as being a short, good-looking
man about 23 years of age. He wore no
mask.

NO CIVIL SERVICE LAW IN III8.
Washington, Sept. 3. In an interview
here last evening on tbe civil service law,
Congressman llouk, of Tennessee, said :
''At tbe coming session of congress I
propose to test the sentiment of tbe house
on this sham civil service law. When'
the appropriation bill comes up I shall
offer an amendment striking out the item
making an appropriation for its support.
Nine-tenths ot the members know that
the law is a fraud, aud say so in private.
Now I am going to smoke those fellows
out, and put them on record. I believe
the civil service law is unconstitutional,
and I am sure tbe supreme court would
so decide it it the ques'ion ever came be
fore that tribunal.
'As to the speakership I am not
pledged, but we Southern members will
vote for a candidate who is wilting to help
our section get thn door-keepership. . I
am for Colonel John 51. Carson for clerk."

forced to pay between $47,000 and $48,
000, some of which was drawn upon or
ders made out . iu favor of some of the
officials, themselves concerned ia the
trausactioo, while others are made out in

Daily Astorlao.
A corresDondcnt of the Bellingham
bay Reveille narrates the following story,
told him by one of the oldtimers, whoso
father in 1803, named Jones, joined the
party of John Jacob Astor and came to
the mouth ot the Columbia river, to as
sist in establishing a fur trading post.
After trapping on tbe Columbia, Lewis,
Clarke, and Snake and other rivers with
indifferent success for some time, Mr.
Jones through the Lummi Indians, who
journeyed thence once a year to trade
their furs for notions, etc., beard of the
great inland sea. In 1806 Mr. Jones and
the small party struck across the country
irotn the Columbia, and alter encounter
ing maoy hardships, landed on the shores
of tbe great inland sea, at a point wnere
the city of Olympia now stands. Here
they procured canoes and an Indian
guide and statred for Nooksaak, along
which the Indians said there were mul
titudes of beaver. They were quite suc
cessful on the Nooksack. Finally, after
a trip up Chucauut creek, which" they
fouad alive with the valuable Utile ani
mals, they concluded to locate their post.
This was done where a small branch
stream emp' es Its waters into the Cbuca
nut. A stone cabin was built at the base
of a bigb, bold mountain, which served as
a landmark. They remained here two
eusons. aud at the end of that time, hav
ing a large supply of furs on hand, it was
necessary for them to go to Astoria.

war broke out between the United States

supply the provisions. Great dissatis
taction was expressed, and the posts, furs
and everything possessed by them wtro
sold to the Northwestern Fur company,
and the party joined a homeward bound
train.
They claimed that besides tools, etc,
they left behind in the old stone cabin
100 ounces of gold, taken in trade from
tbe Alaskan Indians.
It would be exciting to hunt lor the
old cabin and the organization of a search
party is suggested. The cabin being
built ot stone, would be in a fair state ot
preservation.
The Jag Dm if
Ned Buckley, when a young man, was
playing out West in the mining towns
witn a travelling company. He had
wild ambition to play Claude Melnolte,
and one night, the leading man being
sick, he went to the manager and sugges
ted that they put on "The Lady of Lyons,"
and let him be Claude.
"My boy," replied the manager, 'ttio
miners will shoot you."
"Why? "
"They will never stand such a love
sick play."
Ned was willing to risk it, however,
and as there was not much choice, the
manager let him go ahead. He was just
delivering himself of those beatific liuts
in the second Bet about "orange grove,
e'e, etc., when he chanced to glance to
ward tbe audience and saw a big miner
standing up and poiuting a six-shooter'
at him. lie stopped short in his love
making, undecided whether to run or
stand bis ground, when another miner
came to bis rescue.
"Hold on, Bill," called out No.2, "don't
shoot Claude Slelnolte, he's a good follow.
I know it. 'cause I got full with him
yesterday."
"If jou say he's all right, pard, I
won't," answered No. l,-'but I'm if
I don't have a shot at Pauline.1"
