YOUNG PENDLETON BUSINESS MAN LOST
WHILE HUNTING.
Pendleton, Jan, 30. Great anxiety ia
felt for the safety of N. Frazer, a
prominent young business man. Frazer
and Charles Wilkens left Pendleton Mon
day on a bunting expedition. Tuesday
morning they left the camp at Wilbur,
together with a telegraph operator, iu
chase ot a deer. About noon they be
came separated, and Frazer has been lost
since. On the return ot the two corapan
Uma to the camp they heard about a
dozen shots. It was supposed that Frazer
bad run into a band ot deer and was lm
proviug his opportunity. They felt sure
he would return, bnt when night came
and he did not arrive they became un -
easy. Search was instituted that night,
but the wind was blowing a blizzard and
the searchers were afraid to venture far
from camp.. The next morning the search
was renewed and continued ail day. . 10-
day it was renewed with vigor.
Frazer s trail has been run across, and
it is being followed at last accounts. A
dozen or more men made up a party and
left here this afternoon, beaded by Jacob
Fiazer, the young man's father, to aid in.
the search. It is thought he will turn up
all right if be has not been caught by a
snowsllde or some accident has not be

NOT BURIED ALIVE.
Tacoma, Jan. SO.--Mrs. Calvin Barlow,
wife of a prominent citizen, died Tuesday,
and was to bare been buried on Wednes
day afternoon. ' Shortly before the funeral
was to take place a woman who had as -sisted
in dressing the deceased for the
grave stated that the body was warm
when she and the others were at work,
and that she thought it would be Dettcr to
postpone the funeral for a day.. After it
had been hinted that there might be a
faint possibility of life the relatives-concluded
that there was no need of habte in
the matter, and the funeral was post
poned. It was done more to guard
against talk: by outsiders than through
any belief that there was any indications
of life, as the deceased had been ill
more than two months aud had become
much reduced and wasted, before death.
Hhu did not bare strength enough left
just before death to have rallied.
suicide of a bank cashier.
Sacbamento, Jan. 30. William F.
Huntoon, son of the present county treas
ure aud cashier of the People's Savings
bank, shot himself through the heart in a
grocery yesterday, and died soon after.
Huntoon bad been indulgiug in liquor for
several days, and when he appeared at the
bank was advised by Assastant Cashier
Laurence to return home. Huntoon left
the bank, but instead of proceeding home,
visited a number of saloons. He visited
a saloon where a barkeeper refused him
liquor. He remaioed in a grocery for
about an hour without speaking to any
one, then walked to the door and saying.
"Well, good-bye, boys," drew a pistol
and fired the fatal shot. - He was aged
about 36. ' The accounts of the bank are
straight.
THE MONTANA SENATORS. . .
Washington, Jan. 30. Would-be Sen
ators Clarke and Maginnis ot Montana
hare taken quarters together at Welker'a
and are in constant consultation with the
Democratic senators, presenting their case
before its actual presentation to the com
mittee and the (senate. It is generally
-understood that they are loading the
orators ot the Democratic side with . facts
and points about Tunnel- precinct which
will be fired off when the Montana case
comes up for discussion.
Both Clarke and Alcginms have been
somewhat uneasy since the recent supreme
court decision in Montana, and they are
trying to convince their Democratic
frienos that it cuts no figure in settling
the contest The Republicans are anxious
to see the text of the decision, as Repre
sentative Carter claims that it will clear
up and help settle the problem.
MEMORIALS WITHOUT ED. . " '
Washington, Jan. 30. Senator Allen

of Fort Walla Walla. .
Some sport has been made of the Wash
ington legislature on account of the many
memorials asking appropriations which
have been introduced by them. Bills
have not yet been prepared in accordance
with these memorials for appropriations.
The senators say tbey wish to take time
to prepare bills for the improvements that
are most needed, but the -large number of
demands has made it extremely difficult

Tw -Racers, la dvin1 1" '
It was near the .close of a bright
summer's day ; the golden sun . bang j ust
above the horrizoo, and our long wagon
train crept wearily forward, winding like
. . .. .A .tnnK l.t.
The faint winds, setting eastward with the
perfume of the prairies, were balm to our
tired souls. We were thinking dreamily
of our evening's camp when the grim
words, echoed from, wagon to wagon,
awoke us to a realization of the dread
truth.
"Joe Rogers is dyin' 1"
Joe Rogers dying? Surely there must
be some mistake, we asked of our com
panions more with our eyes than words.
Why, he was only hurt a day or so ago,
aud we - none of us had thought him
seriously injured but there was no
mistaking the decisive sentence Joe
Rogers was near his end !
We all loved Joe for his brave, honest
heart, and his whole sou led simplicity
; He lived as God had made him, and no
art of society had covered up the manhood
of his rugged heart. He was a stranger
alike to metropolitan refluerutut and cul
tuied hypocrisy, and as he floated down
the wild channel of bis ate, be had not
left an enemy on either hand. When the
announcement bad reached the first wagon
it halted, the other wagons circled around
it and we came to camp. As we gathered
around old Morrison's wagon, there was
no face so hardened but it bore the im
press of sorrow ; there was no voice so ruae
but it sank into the saddest of undertones.
Daddy Morrison was holding the sufferer's
head upon bis knee, and the marvel was
how his great, rough bands could smooth
the hot forehead so gently. -
"Don't worry, ole chap," said Daddy
Morrison in a shaking voice as Joe gasped
and struggled tor breath. -'Can't I raise
ye up a little higher?"
ii The sick man shook his head. Some
one thrust a flask of liquor through the side
of the wagon where the canvas had been
tied up to enhance thesiiDpiy of fresh air.
Old Momsson put it to Joe's lips, but be
turned away..
"Not now, not now, Daddy ; I've got ter
go an' that stuff can't keep me."
He closed his eyes and remained still a
short time so still that Daddy Morrisson
looked up at the boys with tearful eyes
and they asked him quickly:
"Is he dead?"
"Not yet,"' said Joe himself.opening his
eyes and smiling 'a little. "I huin't gone
yet. I smell the'flow'rs, an' grasses, an'
tho perfume of the perary, an' I hear the
wild rice a rustlin this is the place fur to
bury me. This is the' place fur to bury
Joe." He relapsed into silence once more,
and again started softly to words. ' They 'a
a big marsh near here, an' tbey's some
buttes off north of us, bsin'tthey V' ' .
'Yes, Joe." - , ' 1 ;
"An' the sun's jest dro'ppin' down be
hind the perary swell, hain't it. Daddy I"
"Yes, Joe." " . '
"Then take me ou ten the 'wagon.boys.
I want ter be where I kin see 'em fur
the last time. It'll git dark purty soon
yes.awful dark fur me, an' I love the
buttes. an sky an' birds the birds is
gone now, I s'pose. Hain't none of 'em
singing 'round here is they, boys?" . :
"leu see tuein Diras to-morrow, oie
feller." '.''"
"Yes, I'll see them birds to-morrow;
I'll see, em . an' they'll sing fer Joe. .
Take me out, boys." .., ;
Many and willing bands lifted the poor
fellow from the wagon to a pile of buffalo
robes and blankets nu the ground, and
Joe, resting on his friend's Knee, looked
off toward the dark coteaux, then across
the moor, rustling and sighing with its
rank crass.
'Dou t mind me, boys." said be: "turn
Anf var satrl, on rrtt on iinii.o Tiu
Kugers is goin ter live till purty -nigh
inornin'. . He's goin' tet spend the night
here on the perary an1 then he's goin' ter
sleep here till Gabriel's trninpet wakes
im." . - - ': .
The men went about their preparations
fir the evening meal in a half-hearted
manner and Daddy Morrisson still attend
ed the sufferer.
"What d'ye know .'bout religion.
Daddy T' asked Joe when the two were
lft alone. "I'm jest 'bout where a feller
thinks of it et he ever does."
"I do' know what ter think, Joe, only )
jest live right au' die right an yer. all
right. Tout s what I've alius argued.
'That's what I've alius thought, Daddy,
but mebbe they's sometbin'. else. .Kin
you read, ole man ?" -.
"1 can't, Joe but 1 'low Dick Jt'cters
kin if ye dou't git past four or five letters.
Shall I yell fur'im?" -.: ;
'No, never mind. Jest reach, inside
this ole shirt aa' get lbs book you'll find
there." . ,.
The old man obeyed and drew a dingy
little Testament into sight.
Kin you siDg, Daddy ?"
'Never singed in my life, Joe, but Dick
Petersl Ye jest ought to' hear 'ini sing
Lizzie, Ole Gar an' I Stood rat an' them
d'ye want.'iin Joe?"
"No. Open that lwok. Daddy.'.'
Daddy Morrisson opened the book aim
lessly and it parted just at the place a
lock of yellow hair whs pressed between
the' leaves.
"What's that, Joe?" ' "'
"It was the kid's. Daddy 'Joe's kid'
everybody called ber. ' Ye know I told
ye the story. There, let mo take it in
my hand.' Now put the booV back an'
lay me down an' I'll sleep a little I'm
tired an' my. head's all burnin'. up. That
will do.. Yer awful, good ter hie, Daddy.
I want yer to take my horse "an. saddle
only be good ter Prince mind, Dsddy,
be good ter him. Good night, o.e man.
He fell bank on his rude bed and seemed
to doze off into a . soft sleep, and Daddy
after coveneg him with a blanket to ward
off the night dews, drew a little to one
side where be could watch and be at band
when needed. . '. ;
After supper one or two of the boys ap
proached noiselessly and lifted the blanket,
but Joe appeared to be: resting so com
fortably they did not . arouse him. i
"The night passed "The gray dawn was
tilling the east when Daddy. Morrisson
went to joe's side and raised the covering.
Ah, the early morning showed him what
the night had tailed to disclose joe
Rogers was dead I His face was peaceful,
nay, almost smiling, and his cold 'hands
pressed the yellow curl to bis silent breast.

Friday the atmosphere assumed a
gloomy hue, and the rain poured down in
Wcbfoot style. At first itwss thought to
be only a light shower, but hour passed
after hour, and still the heavens were
opened, and seemed to pour of their
abundance upon the well saturated earth.
Streets became flooded, and crossings
were almost 8m passable for pedestrians.
The rain continued Saturday in unabated
fury, and Mr. Sam'l L. Brooks, our
meteorologist, informed us that 2 :53
inches fell in thirty hours, the heaviest
fall experienced here for fifteen years.

dens, which bad been sale for jesrs from
overflow, were several feet under water,
and the maddened waters rushed on to
the Columbia. To cross the street in
places ono had to wade through a loot of
water, and in some instances cellars were
drowned out, and residents were forced to
wade in in gumboots to save vegetables
and other articles stored.
The anger Of the heavens f till continued
during Sunday, and old resideuts stood
aghast and- exclaimed, are we to experi
ence our highest water in February, in
stead of June. In the afternoon Mill
creek bridge leading to the shops began
to show signs of weakening, and it be
came necessary to cut the dam, erected
for skating purposes, to give the flood of
water which had accumulated a chance to
escape. Already the raging torrent had
washed through a place about six feet
wide, and this acting on a . bent of the
bridge bad lowered it about two feet.
Fears were entertained that the other
bents would eliure the same fate. At this
uncturc, Mr. C.J. Crandall who erected
the dam and Mr. Eastwood, one of his
employes, went to work to cut tbo crib
bing loose. They woraed laitmuuy lor
some time, but could not destroy the
planking which stopped the flow of water.
Mr. N. 5. Wires, one of tho3e fearless en
gineers who- takes bis life in his hands by
reason of bis yocation, climbed out on the
dam and attached a large cable to-it.
Everyone watched him with breathless
anxiety, for if it broke away- be would be
swept almost . to speedy -death. The
switch engine drew the cable tight and
tore off the post, wttnout any further
liberation of the imprisoned waters.
Again Wires climbed Out on the dam, to
where the break bad been first made, with
axe in hand, and commenced to cut away
the obstructions. ' He was soon joined by
another fearless man, who helped him in
cutting away boards. Tbo two men
worked for fully a half hour on this dam,
with nothing but an inch plank between
them and the frightful torrent below and
the seething fotimihg waters' above, ap
parently oblivious to their own danger
and the hundreds who watched them from
the other railroad bridge: The cable was
attached, and this lime a large portion of
the dam was hauled away. Again these
men worked on the remaining part of the
break water, until the pent-up fury of
the maddened flood found vent, and no
further - damage was apprehended to the
bridge.
By reason of the detached .bent, no en
gines were allowed to. cross the bridge,
and will not until this damage is repaired.
The turn-table connot be used by reason
of it .being unsafe, and engines cannot be
turned until the bridge is repaired. This
ss a serious inconvenience; but tbo com
pany 'must suffer it with other' injuries
more serious. Last night red or danger
lights were placed on the bridge, and no
trains were permitted to cross. ' '
To-day the rain is very light, and it
may be considered the storm is over, which
will be WclcomV news to all concerned.

- A' Mammoth Wheel. '- '" .
' The greatest wheel of this kind ia the
world, a very wonder in mechanism,
stands in the main shop of the Dickson
Manufacturing Company inScranton, Pa.
It was ouilt for the Calumet and Heel a
Mining company of Lake Superior, Mich,
for the purpose of-lifting and discharging
the "tailings" waste from the copper
mines, into tbe lake, and its diameter is
54 feet, while its weight in active opera
tion will be 200 tons.. It is called a fifty
foot sand- wheel, but Its extreme dimen
sions are fifty-four feet in diameter.
Some idea of its enormous capacity can
b formed from the fact that it will re
cievnd elevate sufficient sand every
twenty-four hours - to cover aa acre of
ground a loot deep. .
It is armed oo its outer edge with 433
teeth, 4.71 inches pitch and 18 inches face.
The gear segments, eighteen in number,
are made of gun iron, and tbe teeth are
machine ' cut, epicycloidal in form. It
took two of the most perfect machines in
tbe world 100 days and nights to cut the
teeth alone, and the finish is as smooth as
glass.
Tbe wheel is to be driven by a pinion of
gun iron containing 33 teeth of equal pitch
and face and will run at a speed of 600
feet per minute at tbe inner edge, where it
will be equipped with 488 steel bucket!
that will lift the "tailings" ts tbe machine
revolves and discharge them into the lake.
Tbe shaft of the wheel is of gnn iron, and
its journals are 23 inches ia diameter by
8 feet 4 inches long. Tbe shaft it made
in three'' sections and is 30 'inches in di
ameter in the outer center. --
At first glsnce tie great wheel looks
like an exaggerated bycicle wheel; and it
is constructed much on tbe same principle,
with straining rod that rnn to centers cast
on tbe outer sections of the shaft. . Tue
steel buckets on either tide of tbe gear
are each 4 feef S 1-3 incbet long and 21
inches deep, and the combined lifting ca
pacity of tbe 448, running at a speed of
600 feet per minute, will be 300,000,000
gallons of water and 8,000 tone of tand
every twenty-four hours.- The mammoth
wheel is supported oa two massive pedes
tals of cast iron weighing twelve tons each.
and it is estimated that its cost at ihe cop
per mines before making a single revolu
tion will not be less thaof 100.000.
