The entertainment given by Mr. H.
Maynard and wife last evening at the
Vogt Grand was very good, and merited
a better bouse. ' Mrs. Maynard is very
clever a, personating character, and her
feat of mind reading was inexplicable.
As a performer UDon ihe concertina and
other instruments Mr. Maynard has few
equals, and was loudly applauded.
Mr. Daniel McLachland, well known to
many of citizens, lias been appointed master
mechanic in the operating department ot tbe

gratulations. East Oreqonian: Eight oars loaded with
wood escaped from the train men at Ksmela
early yesterday morning, and started down
the mountain side at a fearful rate. One
brakeman was on board, who pluckily staid
with the train, made bis way with great
difficulty over the cars, set the brakes and
stopped the runaway, thus preventing a
wreck. Train Ho. 1 was side-tracked for a
time in order to avoid a collision with the
flying can.
Wallowa Chieftain: Word was received
here Tuesday evening that Marion Cover
dale bad been severely injured at Huffman's
mill on Prairie creek. It seems that be was
working at one of the saws, when a small
piece of board flew and bit him just oyer
the right eye, terribly bruising the side of
his face. . Dr. Lang has charge of tbe case,
and we are glad to learn that Marion's con
dition is favorable for a speedy recovery,
bis njuries not being so serious as at first
reported.
Mr. George Patterson's little g'rl during
the burning of Mr. Jasper Thompson's
house, was a veritable heroine. She is
aged only 14 vears. and wi.h the thought
of maturity she entered the building and
threw out the covering of one bed, and
would have saved several other articles
if it had not been that Mr. Thompson's
little child ran into the room, and she was
forced to take her out of danger. The act
of the girl in doing what she did is wor
thy of grateful remembrance, and will
neyer be forgotten by Mr. Thompson.
An exchange,8peaklng from experience,
says there are persons' in every commu
nity who like to see a newspaper attack
public abuses, denounce monopoly, ex
pose corruption, attack their enemies and
praise their friends, all at its own expense.
These same people often borrow the paper
t see what it has to say on such topics.
When it comes to backing up au inde
pendent and outspoken journul with lib
eral patronage, however, these gentlemen
are generally non come-at-ibus in swampo.
Walla Walla Statesman: Nellie Ramsey,
a cyprian living on Third street, between
Main and Rose, took an overdose of mor
phine last evening, which came near ter
minating in death. . Women in the same
house summoned a physician and the
stomach pnmp was vigorously applied.
Nellie claims that she did not take tbe
morphine with suicidal intent, but was
feeling bad and took it in tbe usual way
tor relief. It seems she had been on a
"spree" and was intoxicated when she
swallowed 'he dose.
Ezra Meeker, a well known pioneer of
this coast, furnishes the following inter
esting items concerning what is one of the
chief industries of Oregon and Washing
ton: The first crop ot hops grown in Ore
gon or Washington consisted of a sinele
bale and was produced in 'the Puyallup
valley by Jacob U. Meeker, in tbe year
1865. The hop crop of the two stated, Ore
gon and Washington for the year 1890
will load 1000 cars of seventy bales each
It will take 500,000 pounds of sulphur to
cure this crop and more than 800,000
yards of cloth to bale it. It will take cn
army of nearly 20,000 people twenty days
to pick the crop, it will cost over $750,
000 to harvest the cron.
PortTownseud Leader: Chief of Police
Delaney and Deputy Sheriff W. J. Jones

W. W. Journal: I do not believe in ex
aggerations but tbe following, says a wor
thy farmer, living on tbe foothills, is as
true as preaching: While moying a lawn

spied a large cougar, fully seyen feet long,
sticking its bead above a log. McLain tired

three were sbot. The cougar kitten is now
on the ranch and is quite playful, and a
favorite with the children.

It is amusing and entertaining to set and
listen to yarns span by the remaining few
of that ubiquitous class known as tage dnv-
era. They have bad various experiences
irom ngnting Indians, driving through
herds of buffaloes to being held np bv road
agents. We were forcibly reminded of tbe
peo iliarities last evening while listening to
one of these knights of the whip and reins.
He bad Deen perusing "1 bough ta on tbe
Book of Daniel," about ten-horned beasts,
etc., and quietly informed his hearers thtt
he bad seen such monstrocities while driv
ing in Labrador. Then he let himself loose,
and of all the prevarications eyer imagined
these surpassed them all. It would read
like a Maunchausen tale ta print them, and
thev are simply mentioned to show that
with all the changing vicissitudes of civil

The most agreeable and desirable place to
idle away two or three hours during the
day is in the editorial room of a daily paper.
It makes tbe editor feel extremely bappy
for any one, who has no particular business,
to drop in, and while be is trying to furnish
"copy" to a half-dozen compositors, tell bim
something funny or original about experi
ences in training dogs or of pumping water
in the "old country". Tbe editor drinks it

eating to him when be is engaged in writing
a long article, and is attempting to make
sentences follow each other in rhetorical
manner. DuriDg such times be pays the
closest attention to the minutest details,
and can almost repeat from memory the in
flections of the yoices of the relators. It is
so kind in men to bave such a delicate ap
preciation of the work of an editor, and his
mind is so much relieved when mentally
following "local," "editorial" or choosing
"miscellany" to have one of these philan
thropists "drop in" and stay two or three

Green, the contractor of wood for the rail
road. Mr. Green gave him a very hard job,
just to try bim, for he is often bothered
with tramps, but tbe fellow stuck to his

had worked about two months, living with
two other wood choppers, in a little cabin
about a half mile from town, when he took
sick last Wednesday night, about 9:30.
His comrades carried him outside so be

of Goldeodale last Wednesday. He was at

under the saw when his band was caught
and all of the little linger on bis right band
and about half of the next one was severed
from bis hand. It simply took a slice off

We have reason to believe that Charley
Helm was one of the victims of the recent

number of passengers badly hurt, an

his knse hurt and was otherwise bruised.
Charlev's initials were C. I., but this mis
take could easi'y be made in tbe hurry of a

here that he was going east, bis hailing from

of ber fingers just as tbe call made a break
for liberty. Tne result was that one joint
of the finger was torn off entirely and fell

of a good deal of nerve, as she is said to

Hal Miller aud Sam Crowner, who have
jast returned from a prospecting tour in the
Cceir d'Alene country, bring the story of a
ghastly find made by them last Thursday,
says the East Ortgonian. They were wail
ing for the train at Chatcolette, and were
walking over the site of an old railroad
camp at a point where the railroad crossed
the St. Joe river, w hen they espied an odd
looking box partially covered np in an old
vault or pit. Pulling it out, they .were hor
rified to find in it the herd of a man looeel
wrapped ,in a piece of burlap sacking.
Further search in tbe refuse of tbe pit
brought to light two arm bones. From the
appearance of the teeth, the head had evi
dently been that of a middle-aged man. No
marks of violence could be seen, but ap
pearances point to a murder most foul,
whose enshrouding mystery time may never
tear away. The dismembered remains had
evidently not lain iu the pit more than a
year. No thorough search of tbe pit bad
yet been made np to tbe time of the boys'
departure.so it was not known what further
secrets or clews its depths might hold.

R. Olcott brings the report that four
fine gray horses, three of which belonged
to hiin and one to George Olcott, were
killed by lightning in a recent electric
storm on Stanley creek. Tbe band,
twenty-five in number, bad evidently been
huddled together.whcn tbe bolt descended
and the four were laid low. They were
found lying side by side, so that they
could bave been covered by a blanket,
and as an evidence of the queer pranks
played by lightning, all four bad been
disembowelled iu the same place, tbe en
trails being scatteied about near tbe scene.
ir. Olcott succeeded in collecting tbe re
mainder of his band, except three which
be bas not been able K find. Tbe dead
bort.es were all large, powerful animals,
