dence near Lone Rock was burned with

Blade: Tbe Baker City flour mill has
ceased operating temporarily on occoont of
having run out of wheat. It is not because
there is not plenty of grain in the county,
for there are some fifty or sixty thousand
bushels at Haines, but it is held too high
for our mill to handle profitably. In the
Grand Roods valley there is plenty that
can be Shinned to here for less money than
is demanded by our home farmers. Bat it
is a pity for this cash paid oat for wheat
to go past the door of the Baker county
producers to the uraode aonae vauey.

Alderman, the 11-year-old son of Charles
Alderman, who lives between McCoy and
Lincoln, in Polk county, had his head
blown off yesterday afternoon, while out
hunting with his cousin, a boy of the same
age. He was getting over a fence and was
playing with the gun, looking down the

weapon over, tbe hammer caught on the

well at Warrecton The drill is now
down about 225 feet and still in the soft
sandstone. A little gas forces its way out
occasionally, but no great amount is ex
pected until the drill gets through tne
bedrock.' - Great progress is being made
with tbe crude implements now used, and
those in charge of tbe work expect to
make a strike at any time. The indica
tions for a good flow of gas grow better
as tbe well goes down, and old miners
maintain that an abundant flow of gas
will be found. .

tender our re rets.
Baker City Blade: John Lockey, repre
senting Bluet & Company, of Ontario,
left Vale in January for Utah to buy
sheep. He was shortly afterward heard
from in Ogden, and he then thought of
proceeding to jsew Mexico, since men
all trace of him has been lost, and his em
ployers and family are becoming solic
itous for his safety, fearing foul play. In
making purchases of sheep he was to pay
for them in checks, and so far none of
these have been presented at Boise or
Salt Lake to be cashed. Mr. Lockey is
universally known as a thoroughly relia
ble man. and if he is still alive he will
surely show np. And it is this fact, to
gether with his long silence, which makes
his friends anxious for his safety.
Mr. Jos. King, of Nansene, one of the
best vaqueroes in this portiou of the state,
was severely ruptured last Thursday
while riding a ' buck'ng cayuse. He sad
dled and bridled the animal and rode him

further exhibition of his tact he tooK off
the saddle and bridle and rode him bare
back. He was successful in the feat, but
from the shaking complained of being
sick. In two hours he complained of vio
lent pains and sent to Dufur for a physi
cian, vu examination it was touoa mat
he was seriously injured, and another
doctor was sent for. At last accounts he
was resting easily, and it was hoped with
pioper care he would recover.

W. W. Union: Wm. Maskelyne was on
Monday adjudged insane for the fourth

months ago. Last Saturday the people
living in his vicinity thought it was not

nounced insane. Messrs. J. F. Brewer I

leave on account of a press of business
consequent UDon the near approach of the
spring term of the superior court which
convenes nexi week.
Statesman: The Boise river was rising all
of Sunday, and Monday about 3 o'clock it
was but six feet from the bridge to the
water at tbe centre pier. Three feet more
will sweep away the tnbulais lying upon
the gravel bank unless tbey shall be re
moved, and bring the water very nearly
around tbe abutments of the bridge. If
the weather continues warm there is danger
from the river. A great deal of drift came
down Monday afternoon. No laree trees
were visible, but the amount ol water
named would probably bring them along
and the chief danger to the bridge structure
would consist in one of these striking the
centre pier.- Three feet more of water
woold cover a great deal of Davis' land and
create a miniature deluge en the low lands
south of the city. It would rlso float away
a part of Aveline's big wood pile unless he
shall remove it. The bridge is in danger.
The improvements thus far made are of no
value in adding to its strength to resist the
rush of waters that came surging, boiling
and tossing, covered with stick, bark.
chips and stumps in their onwanl course.
Whether anything can be done with chain
cables or ropes hitched to piles driven in
the bank and then attached to the bridge
is a question lor tnose to settle woo nave
the duty of attending to the bridge, for
upon them rests the responsibility. A warm
ram at this time would ue attended with
disaster.

to take his big boat up to Pasco as soon as
the river raises some, tor the purpose of
using it to carry tock from White Bluff to

sent to take it under while the water is
low.

the corner of Jefferson, the wagon struck
the electric light pole, which is in tbe cen
ter of the thoroughfare, causing a general
break np. Mr. Field managed to secure his
horses, and hauled the pieces of his vehicle

and, if possible, train their horses so they

tie saved considerable expense.
uoidendaie sentinel: sat. Jreter JNelson in
forms us that be has not heard from bis son
Peter for four years this month. When
last heard from he was in San Francisco in
tbe employ of the railroad company. Peter
was for several years in the employ of
Northern Pacific Railroad Company as a
messengei boy, when tbe road was building
through the northwest and was a general
favorite. He must be 22 or 23 years old
now, and if alive be is certainly doing very
wrong not to write home. His father fears
that he is dead and that he will never hear
from him again. Under the circumstances
we presume it would be a relief to the fam
ily to know that he was dead.

the spring to start the water to running,
and in fixing the dam it became necessary to
fell a small tree. The tree fell in the crotch
of another, and thinking they could take
hold ofthe butt and by carrying it around
break tbe top off, they seized it and went
but a few steps when it broke and Mr.
Crawford slipping at the same time, be
went to the ground and the heavy butt of
the tree struck him on the head a frightful
blow, lie was removed to bis home by Sir.

At Independence last Saturday Mrs. Mor
ton, of the Caroline Gage company, met
with a serious accident that came very near
ending in death. Tne company had been
playing a week's engagement at the opera
house, and Friday evening Mrs. Morton,
one of the principal actors in tho company,
ate some herring and swallowed a number
of fine bones. In the evening, during the
performance, she became quite sick and had
to return to the hotel. It seems that the
small bones irritated the membranes of the
stomach, and the pain caused thereby ran
to her teeth and face, in sympathy, and
caused ber to think she was suffering from
a severe toothache. Saturday she went to
a dentist in the city and he pronounced it
defective and recommended its extraction.
In pulling the tooth, which was perfectly
sound, he fractured ner jawbone aud sev
ered a blond artery. The daw of blood was
stopped after a while and tbe lady returned
to tbe hotel. In the night she commenced
vomiting, the emetical discharge being clot
ted blood. 4 physician was summoned and
labored with ber all night, and in the morn
ing said he could give no reason for her
being alive. I ne case is a remarkable one
and has puzzled many. Mrs. Morton left
Independence yesterday morning, still very
weak, and joined the company at Eugene.

resentative Hermann's resolution for inves
tigation of the Umatilla reservation matter,
the intenor department has been closely
following up the action of its subordinates.
At Mr. Hermann's instance telegraphic in
structions w ere sent to the surveyor general,
to the end that final completion of tbe sur
vey corrections should be had at tbe earliest
possible moment, aud requiring an answer
as to when tbe deputy surveyors were or
dered' to the field. Tbe surveyor general
by telegram to-day answers that they will
proceed at once to tbe work of correcting
the Umatilla surveys, in accordance with
the orders of the department previously
given. It is the opioion ot the surveying
division here that two weeks will suffice to
make the corrections in the field, as a por
tion of the survey, that made by Deputy
Surveyor Dsvid I. Curriu, was accepted by
the secretary of the department last year,
and that in the course of a few weeks mat
ters will be so adjusted as to permit ar
rangements for appraisement preparatory to
an allotment under tbe law and treaty.
