These brakemen are competent for the post

A Walla Walla chinook has been blow

Covillaud, we inquired about the facts in

ing frightened and not being able to put out
the flames ran out in the street and screamed
for help. Her dress was burnt off and the
lire burnt her body so badly it is thought
she is past recovery.
Wall Walla Journal: This morning the
windows of heaven opened and gave us a
good layer of snow. By noon the roads
were good enough for sleighing and there
was a jingle ot the bell b in sundry quarters.
Sleighs are scarce in this country, for we
have very little nse for them, but what
sleighs we do have, are pressed into service
the moment there is snow enough to cover
the ground and if its only an inch deep.
Time: Information received from Ya
quina announces that about three weeks
ago a little sloop named Sowena left that
port in tow of the steamer Mischief She
carried a crew of four men, and they
claimed to be in search of fishing banks.
She has never returned, and many suppose
she has been lost during the extreme rough
weather that has prevailed since her de
parture She may, however, have succeeded
in getting into some port on the coast.
We understand in the wreck which ce
cum d on the Blue mountain division to the
"flyir" Engineer Watson had his' leg
broken, another engineer who was learning
the route was badly bruised, and the fire
man scalded. One of the locomotives in
rounding a curve slipped from a rail and
this caused the accident. There bas been
moie accidents on this portion of the Union
Pacific railway than any other, and it is
time that tomething was done to stop tiains
running at a very rapid rate over this por

The newspaper man 3 frequently met
with the inquiry as to who was the author
of a certain article. The reading pnhlic

any communication is sacred with the editor

personal attack. It must ra known to any
erudite person that the author of Junius'

publishers and compositors, has for more
than a century remained a mystery to the
world. No secret of Free Masonry or Odd

The wind blew a hurricane last Tuesday
near Bridal Veil. It lifted the roof oil a

three-fourths of a crop.
The first electric motor line in Oregon is
the line on the east side of the river oppo
site Portland, running from Third and G
streeto to central Albina. The road was
built with the hearty approval of the city
government of Albina, and the property
contiguous to it has appreciatetLoue third
in value.
This, from the Astorian, shows what
means are being used to advertise that city:
"Any person haying illustrated West Shore

suitable for advertising will please leave the

where it will be packed and sent off for
distribution throughout the United States."

Riuehart, of Portland, has decided to make

charges bis deficiency to his deputy, a man
by the name of Bolton, who has skipped
the country.
Baker Democrat: Late arrivals from the
mining districts of Baker county report an
abundance of snow anil all locomotion from
one point to another is by snow shoes. For
the abundance of snow everybody is glad
for it assures a prosperous mining season
for 1890 and thousands of dollars that has
for ages' past been locked np in the treasure
vault of mother earth will and its way into
the bands of people to be distributed into
the channels of trade.
people of the city. Every sidewalk nearly
was used for coasting purposes, and pedes
trians had a difficult time in going to their
residences. If they did not keep a sharp
lookout they were liable to be tripped np
with a sled.
The leaders of the thirteen at the Charity
fair last Wednesday night were not the
persons named in yesterday's issue, but Mr.
Chas. E. Haight, of the City restaurant,
who met the "gang" on the streets in a hun
gry condition, and kindly took them into
the fair and gave them something to eat.
We have received several complaints on
account of the small boys and girls using
the sidewalks for coasting purposes. Chil
dren in going to school run the risk of being
injured permanently, because they cannot
guard against the swift running sled. This
should be stopped and our police officers
should see that the sidewalks are only used
for the purposes intended.
Marion Martin, a pioneer and prominent
citizen of Lane county, was shot and Killed
by a Mrs. Taylor Tuesday, three miles from

to go to Cottage Grove and hold an inquest,
and Mrs. Taylor has voluntarily surrendered
to an officer.

Frank Wright the man from Kansas, who
skipped out from Pendleton owing sundry
debts, was arrested in this city Wednesday,
and while being brought back in charge of
Marshal French, of Pendleton, jumped from
the train after leaving Arlington and es
caped. The train was running at a high
rate of speed at the time, but the conductor
would not Btop it. It is not known whether
Wright was injured or not.
Spokane Review: A degree worse than
that of ingratitude was the case of the
superintendent, who, while on a tour of in
spection, was taken sick upon the mail car.
Needing some stimulant, the bead clerk
went to his satchel and brought hi in a flask
of whisky. The superintendent drank,
even every drop of it, but afterward re
ported the head clerk for having spirituous
liquor on the car with him. A man, who
repays good with evil, ought to be clubbed
to death.
A doctor named John B. Davis was put
off the train iu this city early Thursday
morning. He bad been acting wildly, and
the conductor considered it advisable to
place him in charge of the authorities at
this point. He was noticed by a passenger
by reason of his strange antics, and by him
was carefully watched. The passenger,
who was a citizen of The Dalles, got the
man to bed in the Cosmopolitan hotel, ami
watched him all night, and in the morning
the sherriff took him in charge. He came
from Seattle, Wash., and had a ticket for
Denver. Dr. Davis lias a uiuloma from the
Medical Hospital ' rf Long Island, and his
home is in Battle Creek, iVich. On his per
son were found letters from his family and
also from Simon D. French, cx-presideut of
the Miclugau State Medical Society, recom
mending him as a practicing physician for
fourteen years, and as a gentleman and
honorable man in all his dealings. Yester
day he was examined before a board of phy
sicians ami adjudged insane. The sheriff
telegraphed tu his family in Battle CreeK,
and he will be taken to the asylum to-day.
It is very sad that a man of professional
educatiou and so highly recommended
shuuld become an inmate of an insane asylum.

Cioutman owed bim $30 borrowed money,
and on Sunday evening when Mr. Cloutman
came in and ordered him out of the house
he asked Cloutman to pay him that amount.
At this Mr. Cloutman denied owing bim
anything and Powers became aurry and
struck at Cloutman twice. He ran until
being cornered, when he pulled a pistol and
shot with the result stated. Dr. Doane was
called immediately, and probed for the
bullet, and found it lodged in the back.
Mr. Cloutman on being interviewed dis
claimed any debt to Powers, and said on
the contrary Powers owed him $15. As
soon as the shot was fired, Cloutman came
down street and delivered himself to the
sheriff. This morning a reporter of the

Dr. Doann came and extracted the bullet

The charity fair at new armory was ex
tensively patronized last evening, and sales
were made of several articles. The booths
are most artistically arranged and well pat
ronized. At one table thirteen sat down to
supper, nnder the leadership of Major
Maier of the Red Front and Capt. Lowua
dale. The viands were quickly devoured,
and it took four ladies busily engaged to fill
orders. We are sorry to say that it was a
losing business to feed these hungry fellows
at 25 cents apiece. J There will be new at
tractions to-night, and we expect to see a
large attendance.
W. W. Union: The Journal claims that
"the first apple trees ever planted in Wash
ington were planted by Chief Lawyer, of
the Nez Perce tribe, who received the seed
from Messrs. Lewis & Clark, who were
camped on the Alpowai, below Lewiston, in
1837. As the .Lewis Si Clark expedition
passed through th's country in 1803 6, it
evident the Journal is out of the way
about thirty years. The apples on the Al
powai are generally supposed to be the
product of seed sown by Missourians about
1837.

Tobogganing was indulged in by our
young people last night. The sliding was

No accidents reported.
In conversation with farmers they claim
the present snojy fall will be good for

Deer are said tc le plentiful on the desert
southwest of PrineviUe, but they are very
wild, aud make hunting more labor than

to kill deer now, yet occasionally venison is
to be had here by purchasing on the sly.
Cattle can be bought in many places now

cattlemen are not selling this way tbey are
the ones who do the buying when this is
the case. The poor devils sell now, and

The drivers on The Dalles stage route say
that a large accumulation of freight intended
for them to carry to this place has been
made at The Dalles. The roads will have
to dry up, or become more easily navigated
before the stages can do better than carry
passengers aud the U. S. mail.
Entered Into Beat
At The Dalles, Oregon, on Thursday
morning, Dec. 12, 1S89, George Thomas
Brickell, senior warden of St. Paul's church,
The Dalles.
At a meeting of the vestry of St. Paul's
church a committee was appointed which
drafted the following resolutions:
Whereas. It bas pleased Almighty God
to take from among us our esteemed brother,
George Thomas Brickell, therefore be it
Hesolved, That in bis death we, the rec
tor, wardens and vestry of St. Paul's church,
have lost an earnest and faithful member, a
true and devoted ineuu, ana tne parish an
officer who was ever watchful ot its welfare.
This untirins zeal aud fidelity to the church
together with his cheerful and unfaltering
faith always cheered and eucouraged us.
His duties as senior warden were always
faithfully performed with an ability and
unselfishness that will not fade from our
memory. Iu the Sunday school, of which
he was superintendent, he was an eager aud
earnest worker, guarding well his charge
and carrying it aloug, at times almost un
aided. In Ins private life he was cheerful,
unostentations, charitable to a fault, always
ready to assist the poor and needy, a true
frieutl in the time of trouble, and tree from
all the prevailing yires of bis fellow man.
Be it further
liesolced, That while we bow bubmissively
to the Divine H'lll, we desire to mingle our
sorrow with that of bis many friends both
in the east and iu the west, and that we ex
tend our sincere sympathy to his immediate
relati ves with the comforting reflection that
our loss is - his eternal gain, as he has en
tered into that rest prepared for the people
ot God. "
Hemlved, That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the bereaved family, and that
they be published in the local and church
papers aud be spread on the minutes.

"A Social Hes8:on."
The Postage Stamp Comedy company ap
peared at the Opera House last evening in
their new farce-comedy. "A Social Session,"
and both the play and players made in in
stuncaneous hit. Very few of the large au
dience present guessed that it was a "first
night," as the piece had been very care
fully rehearsed and not a "break" occurred
to mar the smoothness of an excellent per
formance. Unlike most of the so-called
farce-comedies, "A Social Sessiou" has a
well defined, though not complicated, plot,
the dramatic interest beiuij sustained
throughout. - The characters are all well
drawn, and the situations novel, as was at
tested by the almost continuous shouts of
laughter and applause that greeted the
players and inspired them to further efforts.
The numerous songs and specialties intro
duced were of ahigh order of merit. The
burlesque opera in the third' act was ex
ceedingly ludricrous, and also afforded the
eielleut vocalists of the company an op
portunity to display their ability. We

A 31 an Nhot and Killed at Sublimity
Salem Statesman.
Word came to the city Sunday evening
that W. C. Rinse, a married man about 40
year3 old, with wife and three children, who
resided on the Charles Eggeri farm, one and
a half miles eastward from Sublimity, bad
been shot and killed abont noon that day
by Thomas Hammond, of Stayton, a man
nearly the same age also married. The re
port proved true, as far as the death of Mr,
Rigps is concerned, but the manner of tne
death is shrouded in mystery which will re
quire the inquiry of the courts to solve.
The killing occurred on a farm belonging
to Hammond's father and which was occu
pied by Hammond for a time, but be left it
and has been living at Stayton. This farm
joins that occupied by Riggs and the latter
had some cattle on the Hammond place
grazing. At the time of the kil'ing there
were present only Mr. Riggs, Mr. Hammond
and a son of the latter ten or twelve year
old, so that the full facts may never be
known, although the tender age of the lad
may insure a straight story of the sad occur
rence. Hammond claims that the shooting was
accidental, while the gun was in the hands
of the boy and occurred in this wise: All
three were standing around the premises,
Hammond having a double-barrel gun,
when some quails were seen flying around,
one of which Hammond shot, and then the
hoy begged to be allowed to shoot one.
The father handed him the gun, whereupon
it wo3 accidentally discharged by the boy,
the charge lodging in Mr. Riggs' neck, kill
ing him almost instantly.
The Statesman's informant eays that Ham
mond has been telling some contradictory
stories about the matter, and the boy re
fuses to talk, so there is not full faith placed
in the accidental theory in the neighborhood
of the tragedy. It is not known, nor does
he vouchsafe to say, what Mr. Hammond's
business was from Stayton to the farm, some
tour miles, that morning. It is asserted
that he and Mr. Riggs had some hot words
in relation to some matters connected with
the premises in the early part of the day.
It is alto said that the first man who arrived
upon the scene some relative of Mrs.
Riggs -found both barrels loaded of the
gun which it is claimed did the shooting
and which is olaimed to have basu the only
firearm in the crowd.
Both Hammond and his son are nnder
arrest, and there will be an examination of
the affray before a magistrate.

Ochoco Review.
A number of gentlemen met at the town
ball last Tuesday evening to talk over the
advisability of organising a land company,
the prime object of which would be to ad,
vertise the resources of Crook county with
a view to induce a portion of the expected
immigration ot 1890 and succeeding years
to come to this county. But it is to Le r&
gretted that nothing was done, and from
the present oatlook there'seems to be little
hope that Anything wjjl be done in this di
rection in time to catob any of the immigra
tion that will come west next year. The
people v.-ho are in business here and those
who have land for sale arecertaioly neglect
ine their interests by not taking hold of a
movement tbat will induce thoae in search
ot homes to turn this way. Every person
who comes here to loon at the country
spends more or less money, of which every
business man must get his share; and every
new-comer who locates adds just that much
to ttje population and wealth of the country.
That immigration will finally ooine without
invitation aud all the available land in the
county will be settled is evident, but this
may occur too late to be of any bene6t to
the present generation, hence we say all of
U3 are neglecting a golden opportunity when
we fail to take hold of an enterprise that
will develop the country.
