Astoria Pioneer: It is an interesting
tight to witness the work out upon ihe
jetty at the mouth of the river. The mat
tresses of pine brush, or fascines, are
made under the trestle by suspending
poles from the stringeis wi'.h ropes and
the piling the bundles of pine boughs up
on the frame work thus made until a
thickness of five.leet is made, when the
whole lot, at low tide is lowered and se
cured to the bottom by a rock until a ton
or two from the cars can be dumped upon
it. The boiling sand around the rocks
which have been dumped into the water,
jtfttoticed in a ride over the trestle, illus
, trates the utility of the work and demon
strates how the sand is formed into bar.
'The deepening process now going on, will

Vreqon Stale Weather JJureau in co-optra
lion with U. S. S'ujnal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon. For week ending'Sepl.
23, 1SS0:
The temperature has been about normal.
On Wednesday it was to or above in many
sections of the state, but since then there
has been a decided fall. Last Saturday
night, Sunday and Mcnday general showers
were experienced, being quite heavy in
northern part of coast and Willamette val
ley. At mouth of Columbia river over an
inch fell. The weather conditions Friday
and to-day have been favorable for rain but
so far only light sprinkles have occurred.
The rains in the fore part of the week again
cleared the atmosphere of the dense smoke.
but by the end of the week it was quite
smoky again showing that extensive forest
fires yet prevail in sections of the state.
In Curry county the most destructive
forest fires ever known since the settlement
of the country have prevailed. Large bodies
of fine tiuiber, grass and stock ranges have
been destroyed; not only these have been
burnt but also a saw mill, fences, barns,
haystacks and in one instance a house, the
occupants barely escaping with their lives.
The amount of sunshine has been about
normal. Foggy mornings have generally
prevailed west ot the Cascades. Frosts
occurred in the higher plateau and moun
tain regions of Eastern Oregon during the
week but no damage is reported as having
been done,
Since the cool weather has set in many of
the springs and wells of Eastern Oregon ap
pear to have become stronger.
In Jordan valley, Malheur county, baled
hay is selling at from $12.50 to $15 per ton
on ranch aud grain 2J cents per pound.
In Crook county it is reported that- wheat
is selling at $2.50 per bushel.
In tbe i lllametto valley the showers of
the fore part of the week were favorable to
the wheat lately sown and the green blades
are already appearing above the ground.
There has been quite a large amount of
wheat already sown and the weather condi
tion have been favorable to it.
In Southern Oregon fruit drying is nearly
at an end. Grape picking for wine con
tinues. The yield of most ail varieties of
grapes has been good.
Around lirass Valley, Wasco county,
frosts are of almost nightly occurrence.'
Potatoes are very scarce, the crop being an
entire failure. The present year has been a
disastrous one for the farmers of this sec
tion aud some are moving away to try and
better their condition.
In Sherman county fall graiu is being
sown; the acreage in this county will be in
creased about 30 per cent.
Ihe rams of the "J 1st and zzd were quite
general throughout Eastern Oregon but not
sufficient fell to be of real benefit.'
The wheat market yet remains inactive;
but a small amount of wheat is moving.
The warehouses of the interior are generally
filled to their full capacity.

Asst. Director Oregon W. B.
yards of me he raised his pistol and fired
again. When he raised his pistol the last
time I was holding my gun by my side, and
I pulled the trigger, both guns going otl
together. Looney fell; I guess I shot him
in the face. I saw blood on his cheek.
About four o'clock of that day Mrs. Hill
saw the sheep on the hill near the house
and called Looney's attention to them, and
asked if they were his. lie replied that
they were not; that they must belong to
some stranger, and that be would go and
ask him to take them farther away. He
went over to the barn, got bis horse and
started. The sheep were near the summit
of a very steep hill, Looney s tracks show
ed that he rode part of the way and then
cot down and walked, leading his horse.
Near the summit he had left his horse and
walked some six or seven steps to where he
had been shot. The body showed that he
had been shot in the left cheek, with a large
gen, the bullet going straight through the
bead, tearing tho oase ot tne orain ana
shattering the skull at the back. He
pitched forward on his face, bruising his
forehead, and rolled down the hill some
twentv steps, lodging against a sage brush,
the wound bleeding very freely, plainly
marking where he fell and every reyolution
of the body. Thirty-five steps away from
where he fell was found an empty cartridge
shell and the rag plug that had been in
Brose's gun. Between where the plug and
shell were found and the place where Loon
ev fell there is a small raise in the ground,
and two men the size of Looney and Brose
nianrliniT nn these nlaces could see no more

of one another than their heads and snoui-
ders; from where the hors-e was left they
could not see each other. Looney 8 body
was not found until 11 o clock next day.

SLields Looney Killed.
Princviile Hews.
A little after noon on Tuesday of last
week F. G. Brose rode into Prineville,
sought the sheriff, and announced to that
official that he had killed Shields Looney
the evening before near H. Taylor Hill's
residence on Trout creek. Sheriff Combs
placed Brose in jail and notified the proper
authorities. Attorneys Barnes and Moore,
the former having been employed on the de
fense and the latter on the side of prosecu
tion, started at once for the scene of the
killing. Later in the evening Coroner Belk
nap was notified and be and Judge Sumner
also left for -the scene of the killing. The
rest of the dreadful story is told in the fol
lowing correspondence:
The testimony taken before the coroner's
jury was to the effect that on the 23d Gotte-
fried Brose and bis herder bad his, Brose's,
sheep on the bill just north of Taylor Hill's
house, and only about a quarter of a mile
away. Tbe sheep up to four o'clock of that
dry had been in charge of tbe herder, who
was in the habit of carrying a Winchester
rifle, in the muzzle of which be kept a oloth
plug. During the day the herder shot a
rabbit, after which he left the empty shell
and the plug in the rifle. At about four
o'clock in the afternoon Gottefried Brose
came to the sheep aud relieved the herder,
whom be sent with his team to his ranch,
three or four miles away, to do some har
rowing. When the herder left he gave
Brose the gun. After dark Brose came to
the ranth where tbe herder was and knocked

Items from the Locks.
Cascade Locks, Sept. 20, 1S89.
Editor Tiuks-Moustai.nekr:
I write you to give an account of the
times at the Locks. We had a display of
legal talent here last night. Our road
supervisor sued a party for road taxes. Our
judge heard the case and convicted tbe par
ties. The defendants then introduced a
school dictionary to define au inhabitant,
and our honorable judge considered the dic
tionary superior to the code, and so reversed
his decision and taxed the county with the
cost. We are all anxious to have tne term
of office of such a justice of the peace ex
pire. He was only selected for the fun of
the thing, and they have all become tired
of the fun.
We have a number of hoodlums here
working or pretending to work for the gov
ernment, 'such as time-keepers, assistant
clerks and others who do nothing only run
around the saloons and draw their salaries,
They rejoice at everything that is done to
thwart the legal otfieers from collecting
taxes. These same parties hooted at our
assessor when he was here, and all honest
citizens hODe the time will come wbeu
American citizens will be placed in charge
of this work aud employ citizens to do the
work, where now there ia not a man in any
division that has the good ol the country at
heart. There is a hoodlum element on the
works who would not be an ornament in
first-class society. They take delight in
prowling around the town and disturbing
people by placing dead animals at their
doors, and other like jobs, vt e expected
something different on the change of the ad
ministration. But no change is apparent.
I suppose the general government does not
know how these .Norwegians manage imngs.
Can you let them know at tho seat of government?
It is supposed that Dr. Candana will soon
go to .Norway to peimanently reside.
air. J. . Andrews is visiuug uui wwu
from Portland; also Mr. Stokes.
Messrs. Day and A. U. Hall have gone
east on a visit.
I understand that our road supervisor
went on tho works to collect road tax, and
the Norway officer ordered him off. If Nor
way has charge of our government works it
is time we knew it. I hear that Superin
tendent Reed has given orders that every
man on the works who does not board with
O. Hursey must leavo tbe bunk house. I
do not believe this to be true.
Mr. Walter Fraine has been joined in the
bonds of matrimony.
Old Doc. and Dr. (Jindana have turned
out professional lawyers.
A. O. Toole is as foxy as ever. T. Hopo
is getting fatter every day.
Mrs. J. A. Hamilton has returned from a

Adjudged Insane.
W. W. Union.
Mrs. Sarah C. Linder, wife of Henry C.
Lindcr, living near Prescott, was brought
before Probate Judge Eagan on Friday
evening for examination as to her sanity by
Drs. N. G. Blalock and J. E. Bingham, and
was adjudged insane. This is a peculiar
case, and is classed as one of "mania and
dementia." She is only 25 years old, and
the mother of two children, the youngest
being only two years old. She had her
first attack just after the birth of her first
child, the spell only lasting a few days.
Another attack occurred about six months
since, that-being also of short duration.
But twelve days- ago she was seized with
piraistent mania, which has clung to her
ever since. Her husband, who made the
complaint, testified that she said she saw
and talked with tbe devil and claims to
have witches in her clothes, and also has
many other delusions. During a portion of
the time her condition was maniacal, she
having tried to kill her neighbors and her
children; the attacks seem premeditated,
though she has no design at suicide. Mrs.
Linder, when brought before the physicians
told the same story of interviews with the
devil, and stated that she had burned ber
underclothes in an effort to drive out the
witches that infested them and the bed
clothes to kill the devil. Her demeanor,
throughout the examination was that of a
crazy person, though she displayed no signs
of violence. Sheriff McFarland will leave
for Steilacoom with her to-day. Mr. Lind
er is deserving of sympathy, aud it is hoped
that his wife will be speedily cured.
.
A Sail Case.
Colfax Commoner.
On Saturday last John Pickrel!,of Palouse
City, was brought before the probate judge
at Colfax for an examination as to tbe
soundness of his mind. It was found that
the man was slightiy insane, sufficient to
warrant bis removal to the asylum at Steil
acoom, where he was taken that evening by
Sheriff McLean. The unfortunate man,
who is a brother of E. R. Pickrel, of Pa
louse City, is perfectly rational except upon
one point. He has an hallucination that
somebody is attempting to poison him,
through his meals, and this fear has led him
to be constantly changing his boarding
place. This diseased imagination is sup
posed to have been brought about by his -close
application to his law booksand seden
tary habits. He came to this county about
two years ago, and for a while studied law
with Messrs. Sullivan, Chadwick & Brown,
of this city. He was admitted to practice
at tbe June term of district court last. For
the past six months this insane idea has
been (.rowing on him, and it was thought
best by bis friends that he be sent to the
asylum, where it is hoped a few weeks of
quietness and careful nursing will restore
him to his reason.

The Umatilla Reservation.
The Pendleton East Oregonian of Sept.
25th has the following regarding active
operations in the yiciuity of the reservation:
"Two carloads of merchandise and camp
ing paraphernalia for the troops soon to
pitch their tents und light their campfirea
on the Umatilla reservation, will be shipped
to Caynse station to-morrow, the camping
point selected. A large number of troops
from points in Washington, are encamped
near Weston to-day, and will arrive to-mor
row at the camp ground. A body of cav
alry will camp at Pendleton to-night.
Troops from Vancouver and PoJtland are
probably not far distant. Ia short Pendle
ton is surrounded by 1000 soldiers in battle
array, marching in Ibis direction with all
due caution to prevent an attack from am
bushed foes. By to-morrow evening tbe
majority of Uncle Sam's "sojer boys" will
be concentrated at Cayuse station. Sunday
there will doubtless be an excursion of Pen-
dletoniaus to the camp. As these troops
are supposed to be on the 'war path,' their
wives and children have been left under the
protection of the forts, hence there will be
no ladies at camp. It is said that the Cay
use Indians will get out in war paint during
the stay of the troops on the reservation.
and endeavor to outdo Uncle Sam's boys in
graceful aud entertaining maneuvers."
To the Patrons of the 1'ablij Mc hauls.
In the division of the to lower grades
the following lists have been designated as
the pupils who will attend the new schoo'.
Much pains has been taken by the teachers
to make this division meet the general good
and we trust that personal interest in the
matter on the part of patrons may be laid
aside to this end also:

Tate Swungs, Tmw., 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 offmy 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 1 could not
put on a shoe because of the soreness and
swellirg. 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 tor five years
brought back the same condition of tie dis
ease, only each time it became more dis
tressing, because I began to think it was a
lifetime trouble. Finally, I was induced to
try Swift's Specific I took six bottles, and
to-day am entirely welL My improvement
was gradual from the first, and no evidence
of tbe 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.
The foregoing certificate is taken at
random from thousands of letters in posses
sion of the Swift Specific Co., and presented
simply as a sample. It is a voluntary
statement, giving facts and results of the
case. Its accuracy and genuineness are
beyond question.
