In conversation with Mr. Edward Crate,

Vancouver and threw packs of pood into
the garrison enclosure.
Dayton inlander: John iJotdman bas a
five-legged colt about ten days old at his
ranch east of town. Toe two nmd legs and
left forward leg are all well formed, but
from the right suoulder thera protrudes two
deformed limbs. Both are short, small and
illy formed. The animal will never be able
to use either. The extra member appears
to grow from the Uesh of the shoulder.
Salem Statesman: John Rice, section

known to have about $200 on bis person.
Rice used to work on the Oregon Pacific.
"Before we take up the collection this

The minstrels, wbo performed lust

were do programmes tbe audience was
not quite certain when the time arrived
to go home. Tbe music was good, also
the Japs, and some songs and choruses;
bat some of the jokes were moss-covered
with age, and the delineation of negro

Yakima Herald: Indian Charley, a weak
eyed Hi wash, who generally acts as court
interpreter, was in the city Wednesday with
the report that there are two wild Indian
men iu Coyote canyon, who are constantly
frightening and menacing Indians and otbers
who go into the canyon on the outlook for

in an almost nude condition and that they
are tbe possessors of firearms. He is ol the
opinion that they are the Wallula Indians
who committed a couple of murders near
that place a year or two ago.

Yv. W. Journal: Mrs. Ida Sapp, tbe
mother of three children, the youngest
about 7 months old, and the wife of a well-to-do
farmer near Waitshnrg, was to-day
examined before Judge Eagan, Drs. Cropp
and Stewart being the medical examiners.
It appears from witnesses' testimony that
she can never be left alone, lest she take her
own life; that recently she attempted to
drown herself in a water tank. The cause
of this originated in an attack of typhoid
fever about six months ago which left her
in the condition above stated. When
brought into the court room she wept fran
tically and clung to her husband. She con.
tinually mutters something in an inaudible
tone. Poor woman I No doubt she bas to

was adjudged insane.
The tie-up of freight trains between this
city and Albina was not caused by a
"strike" on the part of the conductors and
brakemen. Tbe facta, as we learn them,
are simply these: The men were notified
that on the 11th instant they would be re
quired to make tbe run to Umatilla, a dis
tance of 187 miles, which would require 1G
hours on the track, running time, and, with
stoppages, perhaps 20 to 36 hours. Iu
winter season, such a long distance, with
delays by snowbanks and washouts, might
keep the poor fellows on their trains for
days. And tbis extra run was to be made
at a reduction of 43 cents to engineers, 30
cents to firemen, $1.23 - to brakemeu
and $1.75 to conductors. The con
ductors, when this new arrange
ment was known, simply told the managers
that they would not work,-and the break
men did the same. A3 a matter of course
this necessitated the engineers and firemen
to remain idle- We are informed that the
matter has been adjusted, and that work
will be resumed on the old terms.

IJabo Avalanche: Tbe body of a China
man was found about one mile above the
Chariot mill on Tuesday last, by two gen
tlemen of this place, who at once informed
Judge L S. Alien, who summoned a jury
and held an inquest upou tbe dead body.
Tbe verdict was to the effect that the said
deceased came to his deatn by exposure to
the cold and storm that prevailed during
the early part of December of last year.
It is supposed that the body found is that of
Chinaman wbo left Silver City in the
month of December last, in company with
another one, for Sinker creek, and bas never
been seen sines alive. The other one is
probably dead, near where the body of the
dead Chinaman was found. The body was
decently buried where it was found by
Judge Alien, acting coroner.
Baker City Blade: Judge Haines came
up Sunday from the village, on the rail
road bearing his name, and was chock-full
ot (ten stories. He says tbe boys down on
hock creek are oaiting saimou witn real

forks. He asserts also in the most solemn
manner that in the recent severe rain
storms at that place saimou trout fell from
tbe clouds in great numbers, and that
Albeit Tooey caught one which he bas
preserved alive in a glass tank of water.
Tbe remarkable thing about this phenom.

ettort to get out, especially when the wind
blows, that it does not belong to mundane
waters but rather to the wind driven rain
clouds of heaven. The judge did not see

Old Cy. the truth of all he says.
La Grande Gazette: A bond was drawn
up yesterday and is now being circulated
for signatures in which the signers of the
same bind themselves to pay to the county
court of Union county an amount equal to
me value ot union county's buildings,
also to furnish a block ot ground for court
house purposes, in case the couu'y seat is
removed to La Grande. There bas been
considerable delay in this matter wing
to tbe lacr tuat It was not considered
necessary to consult the best legal author
ity on that subject.- It has been decided
that such a bond can be given without
impairing the legality of the election.
Tbe conditions of the bond are that the
value of the buildings shall be determined
by the county court calling to their assist
ance two disinterested architects, not resi
dents of Union county, who shall report
under oath as to the value of the same.
The details of the proposition will be
more explicitly set for the next week.
Idaho Free Press: Reports were received

B depleted during tbe past winter by
thievea Frank McGrane and John Roberts
are tbe heaviest losers, they being out about
500 bead. Tbe thieves have operated in a
systematic manner and there is no question
they are thoroughly organized, with men
stationed at different points who attend to
the shipping and disposing of tbs stock. A
large raft was found on Snake river, which
had been used in crossing the horses. After
crossing the river the stock was in all prob
ability driven through the Wallowa coun
try, and shipped in small lots to the east,
probably beyond the Mississippi, where
they could be easily disposed of without
exciting suspicion. The wealth of Idaho
county consists largely of her stock inter

lost to our citizens through the depredations
of a gang of thieves. Our stock men should

Statesman: An old newspaper man (now
retired) who is also one of Walla Walla's
best citizens, not long since related bis ex
perience in conducting a country paper.
Among other things be said: There are
more persons who sponge from newspapers
than any other class. When a man comes
into the world he receives a free "ad"; when
he dies bis good deeds ale not overlooked
by the charitable editor. All during bis
life he asks and receives favors from the
newspapers. If they speak woll of him the
flattering notice is received in silence. If
his acts are justly criticised be talks of a
auit for damages. He desires favorable
mention and desires it often. In fact some
men have an idea that a newspaper is run
expressly to beep them before the public,
aud that too, without money and without
price.
Uregonian: A correspondent writing from

From papers aud letters found on the body,
the man's name is evideutly Edward Zim
merman. Two certificates of deposit in
Ladd & Tiitou's bank, amounting to $530,
also 5-14. CO, were found in his pockets. The
body had evidently been in tbe wator for
some time, as the hair was all gone from his
bead, and tbe corpse was considerably
swollen. He bad the appearance of haying
been a laboring man, aud was dressed in
blue overalls and a knit shirt. He was of
medium height, and is presumed to have
been of slender build, although bis body
was swollen to such au extent as to be
hardly recognizable. A dispatch was seat
to Chief of Police Parish, to discover, if
possible, if the deceased was knowu.

Coal bas been discovered near Port Or
chard, the selected spot of the proposed
navy yard. Miners are sinking a ten-foot
shaft over the vein and the indications are
that the measure is an extensive one, which
will be an important consideiation in the
establishment of the navy yard there. This
adds to tbe wisdom of the selection.
A suspicious subscriber wbo found a
spider in bis paper, wants to know if it
is considered a bad omen. Nothing of
the kind. The spider was merely look
ing ever the columns of the paper to see
what merchant was not advertising, so
that it could spin its web across his store
door and be free from disturbance.
Dallas Observer: News reaches ns of the
accidental severe burning of Mrs. Sol Abrain
and daughter, ot Wheatland, early Monday
morning. The daughter on retiring left a
burning candle by the bedside and by some
means fire was communicated from this to
the bed clothing. The fire awoke the
young lady and ber screams brought her
mother into tbe room and in extinguishing
the flames both were severely burned.
It is expected that work will soon be
commenced on the first railroad in Alaska,
to run from Juneau to Chilkat, a distance
of forty miles. Freight will be taken from
Chilkat across the summit to the head
waters of the Yukon by pack animals,
where it will be transferred to steamers and
sent down that mighty stream to the mines.
There is a bill before congress removing the
capital from Sitka to Juneau and establish

Salem Statesman: Saturday last a small
crowd of university students went out to
Silver creek falls to enjoy the ride and in
dulge in trout fishing. The day was pleas
antly spent, but on the return trip an
accident happened that came near proving
quite serious. In coming down a hill a por
tion of the harness broke and the team be
came uncontrollable. - Miss Carrie Royal
became frightened, and, jumping from tbe
hack, fractured her ankle quite badly. Miss
Bradshaw, who was sitting on the front
seat,' was kicked on the shoulder and mar
Velously escaped from serious injuries. No
further damage was done.
We gather tbe following sheep statistics
of Klickitat county from tbe columns of the
Goldendale Sentinel: Sheep inspector, Mr.
James Wheelbouse has just returned from
a trip through the eastern part of the
county aud reports as follows: Total sheep
in county, 40,673; total loss last winter
from all causes, 14,298; tital sound sheep,
18,759; sheep in quarantine, 21.914. Of
the 14.293 three men lost oyer 19,000 of
them, Mr. Frank Lyon losing about 7000.
He still has a fortune in sheep, having yet
about 6000. The total loss is only about
25 per cent instead of 50 as estimated.
. Dr. W. A. Egbert, of Walla Walla, is at
room 3, Umatilla House, in this city. Ths
doctor is a regularly graduated physician,
but has devoted his professional studies for
the past few years to diseases of the nasal
organs. Ha has had remarkable success in
the treatment of catarrh, and has received
the highest endorsements of the press of
Walla Walla and vicinity, where he has
practiced medicine for several years. He
ia en route to Portland, where he will open
au office for the treatment of diseases of the
nose. Bding persuaded by friends, he has
concluded to remain in this city a tew days,
and can be consulted at bis rooms in the
UinatHla House.
Pendleton Jrlbune: Ed. Allen was in the
city yesterday from bis stock ranch on tbe
John Day. Mr. Allen wintered about
300 bead of cattle there last wiuter and
came out with but a yery slight loss con
sidering the bird winter, as he had to feed
bis stock about one hundred days. He is
here for the purpose of dividing up the
stock and settling up with his father and
the estate of the late N. J. Gerkio, as the
cattle were taken on the shares, and he
tin-is it an unprofitable business where so
much feeding bas to be done during tbe
win er.' The cattle industry is not now
what it was some years ago when thous
ands of head of stock were allowed to roam
wild over the bounding prairies of the wild
west; such times sre about over and soon
each man will have to curtail his herds to
ten or fifteen cows aud keep them iu a pas
ture where they may be looked after with
out any trouble.

formerly lived below Centerville in this

heard of since the 9ob day of January last.
He lef : Waterville on that date to go to bis

An Opesl 1etter.
To the Voters of Wasco County:
Having annonnced my intention to be
crime an independent candidate for the
omce of county clerk of this county, and
having now determined to withdraw my
name as such candidate, I consider it my
duty to my friends and the people of the
county to state my reason for both.
First of' all I wish it distinctly under
stood that I was not actuated by any spirit
of malice or revenge toward anyone. I had
never asked or sought any favors from any
political party or ' convention. I had no
grievance, real or imaginary, and was there
fore in no sense a "sore-head." While I
was born and brought up a Republican, I
did not in tbis matter represent the interests
of any party, faction or organization. I
bave never held an office given by any po
litical organization; but I was induced to
this step by the expressed desire of many
leading citizens of the county from all polit
ical parties, that I should continue in charge
of the county clerk's office.
My connection with the office of county
clerk had convinced me that it belongs in a
peculiar sense to the people; in its proper
management, more than in that of any other
office each individual is personally inter,
ested. The county clerk is assentially a
servant of the whole people; be is tbe cus
todian of the most important records ot tbe
county and all litigation must necessarily
pass through bis hands. Hence the great
necessity of having a clerk thoroughly
versed not only in the duties of the clerk
ship; but also in the records and files in bis
custody. This knowledge can be acquired
only by months of experience, by close
study and application, and the suggestion
that I consent to become an independent
candidate I believe originated in a desire
that I should remain in charge of the office.
While my announcement was an unusual
way of seeking your approval and support
it was in no wise inconsistent with my
rights as a citizen. In the past I have en
deavored to serve the people, as well as my
employer, faithfully, and with the unquali
fied assurance of all that my efforts were
appreciated, 1 felt no embarrassment or
hesitancy in asking for piomotion at your
hands.
Being deterred by my present duties from
making a personal canvas of the county,
and being advised by many friends that my
candidacy, if persisted in, would embarrass
the Republican canvas, and endanger Re
publican success, have concluded, upon ma
turer reflection, to withdraw ray name. I
therefore relieve lay friends who bave vol
unteered to espouse my cause from further
efforts in my behalf. Thanking my friends
who bave nrged my election, I am
Yours truly,
J. M. Huxtin'Gtox.

Mr. Isaac Joles will wear the badge for

the last shoot. The contest for the leather
medal between Messrs. Siddall and Kiner
sly was exciting and interesting in the ex

tlemen were tie, and ten additional birds
were put up before the genial and perspir
ing doctor succeeded in missing more than
Mr. Kinersly, and proving his title to the
leather appendage for . the ensuing month.
This being the second successful effort of
the doctor, he would seem in a fair way to

The Drowning of Henry Debm.
From Tuesday's Daily.
Mr. Cbas. Dehm, who went to the Owy
hee a few days ago to ascertain the facts re
garding the drowning of his brother Henry,
(mention of which was made in these col
umns) returned this morning. Tbe remains
were found last Wednesday about two
miles from where the accident happened,
washed on a bank of sand, and were some
what decomposed and badly bruised. Mr.
Dcbm says be could recognize bis brother,
but a stranger could not. The body was
nude from the waist upward, the current
haying washed it against stones and brush.
Henry had been in the employ of the Pacific
Live Stock Co. for about a year, and on tbe
fatal morning was attempting to cross tbe
Owyhee to herd some cattle on the oppo
site side. He had partaken of a hearty
breakfast, and about 8 o'clock lit his pipe
and attempted to ride his horse into tbe
water. The animal at first refused to enter
the water, and Henry spurred him to a sec
ond trial. He had progressed considerable
distance into the stream, wben tbe horse
rared on his hind feet, and Henry tried
to grab his mane but missed his hold and
fell into the water. It is supposed he had
pulled the rein, which caused the animal to
rare, as Henry appeared out of patience
when he made the second trial. Men on
tbe shore watched him as he swam a dis.
tauce of fifty yards pipe in mouth in the
turbulent waters, and finally saw his hat
leave his head and his pipe his mouth
as he was sucked into a whirpool, never to
rise again. Twice they threw a rope to
him, which did not go a sufficient diet .nee
for him to reach. It was impossible to go
to bis assistance, as the swollen stieam
threatened instant death to any one who
would bave braved its turbulence. When
he entered the river Henry bad $300 iu a
purse in an inside pocket in his shirt, and
this was never found, as the gsrment was
dragged off the body by the action of the
current. There were no other funds on his
person, and reports to tbe contrary are nn.
true. Henry was well liked by all bis as
sociates, and bis tragic deatb bas cast a
shade of gloom oyer them. He was the
youngest son of Mr. F. Dchm, uho came to
this city as leader of the regimental band
stationed at Ft. Dalles in 1852, and, with
the exception of ten years in Vancouver,
has resided here ever since.
The Conflict Stul Rages.
we understand a meeting was held in
Albina Tuesday by Assistant Manager
Perry and tbe trainmen of this division.
Mr. Perry asked tbe trainmen what they
wanted, and they answered nothing was
desired but the former scale of price and
the nsnal run from Albina to Tbe Dalles.
It was not pcssiblj for them to rnn their
trains from Albina p Umatilla, and they
would not think of it under a reduction.
Mr. Perry asked them to continue until
Thursday when be could bear frcm the men
on the Mountain division: The answer
was in the negative. They have no com
plaints to make, and we have no reason to
ask their opinion ot the action taken. The
meeting adjourned without any satisfactory
arrangement between tbe contending par
ties. The trainmen are determined to stand
on their rights, and will bave the moral
support of the community. They say it
cannot be expected that tbey shall wear
themselyes out in tbe service of the rail
road company when other occupations are
open to them with equally good remunera
tion.

Washdioto, D. C, April 15, Jt90.
Circular as to the oon-eigibility of as
sessors and certain other persons for ap
pointment as census enumerators.
From representations recently made to
tbis office from different parts of the
country, it is evident that there is moie
or less misconception existing among cer
tain classes ot the community, more es
pecially the agricultural class, as to the
object of the census, and there is great
reason to fear that, unless such a contin
gency be specially guarded against, many
persons will be deterred from rendering
full and accurate statements of their prbo
erty and its productions by tbe fear that
such information would be used for the
purposes of taxation.
As this would seriously impair the
value of tbe census for some of its most
important purposes, supervisors ot census
have been instructed not to recommend
for appointment 84 enumerator a ty per
son directly or indirectly concerned either
in tbe assessment of property for taxation
or in tbe actual levying of taxation in
jour district, as no such recommendation
will be approved.
Although this order will have the effect
oi nxcluding many persons who it every
other respect than that mentioned would
make excellent enumerators, a:.d whose
appointment wits even co. templated in
the letter ot instructions Issued to super
visors with iheir respective commissions,
tbe interests ot tbe census make its ob
servance absolutely imperative.
Yery respectfully,
Robert P. 1'or.TEa,
Superintendent of Census.
