A correspondent of the Bandon Re

relates that five persons went out in tbo
ocean to the "reef when the tide was
low. A north wind sprung up, rolling
the waves over the shallow rocks on

After the dusk of evening has fallen
like a pali on the community,Tbompson's
addition presents a respleudant spectacle,
with lights shining from the windows of
the handsome cottages. The Dalles Land
and Improvement Co. offers magnificent
opportunities for home-seescrs, in a de
lightful locality, free from rocks or sand,
and every inch of which can be culti
vated. It is not necessary to follow the
vjnua faluits of boom towns, but settle
down in pleasant surroundings, with a
healtbtul atmosphere and good water, and
that place in this vicinity is Thompson's
addition.

the grand lodge of Ancient Order United
Workmen was tbe creation of the office of

lodges and attend to-all such work. His
salary is to be $1000 a year and 50 per cent,
of the fees collected for establishing new
lodges. Tbe first lecturer has not been
announced yet, but applications will be re
ceived by Judge Daly, master workman.

wnen tne appointment will be made.
W. W. Slatemtan: Charles Clark, the
convict, who last November endeavored to
escape from the penitentiary and was shot
oy one ot tbe guards, is playing the insanirv
dodge, or at least such is the opinion of the
warden and guards. He raved in his cell
duriag the greater portion of Friday night,
and broke into fragments everything break
able, such as churs, stools, etc. He refused
yesterday morning to answer any questions
or enter into conversation, but aits on the
floor of his cell mumbling incoherently to
himself. It is very probable that he chooses
the insape asylam rather than the peniten
tiary, anticipating thereby an easy means
of escape, which, to his sorrow, he has tried
once before.
Baker Democrat: Lst Wednesday

Astorian: It is said that the Union Pa.
cific company has bought the property of
.L. V -1 T. - f. m . . J
me inunoern racinc terminal company on
the east side of .the nver at Portland. The
property comprises about 230 acres of land
adjoining Albina with a river frontage of
about a mile, also the shops erected by tbe
terminal company at a cost Ot $OUU,UUU, and
the roundhouse, waiehouse, coal bunkers
and tracks. The Union Pacific statement
for May shows an increase in gross earnings
m i7a,uiu; vperaiing expenses increased
$875,870, making the increase in net only
$22,769. President Adams savs there are
three reasons tor tbe large percentage of
operating expenses mis season additional
service, fast train between Omaha aud
Portland exclusively for tbe United States
mail, which barely returned a new dollar
for an old one, and the expenditure of
enormous amounts ot mmey for the repair
and equipment. From January 1 to April
30, $1,700,000 was charged to the latter
account, being an increase of $550, com
pared with the same time in I8S9.

It has lieen suggested by persons who
claim personal knowledge that boats can be

The most daring stage robbery chronicled
in the history of British Columbia was per
petrated on the B. C. express company's
stage which runs from Cariboo to Ashcroft,
on Monday evening at about 5 o'clock, in
volving a loss of about $1000. On tbe road,
at the ninety-seven mile post, a masked man
met the stage, and at the muzzle of a Win
chester ' called a halt, demanding the
treasure. The driver offered a bag with
$2000 io it, but the robber refused to take
it. He said he wanted the safe and didn't
intend to make a third request, so he was
allowed to take the iron safe. After throw
ing it irom the stage, and saluting the
driver and single passenger with mock
politeness, followed with a volley of the
most profane language, the robber ordered
tbe stage to drive on. Usually the stage is

time now, the man knew bis game, and
took a good time to make his attack, indi
cating a thorough acquaintance with the
neighborhood and the arrangements of the
expressa company. A posse of Indians and
a white leader are on the hunt, and Consta
ble Burr, of Ashcroft, has joined in the
chase. Tbe method pursued by the robber
is exactly similar to that of tbe celebrated
Black Hart. Monday's makes the third
stage robbery of the came kind on tbe old
Cariboo road, but on the previous occasions
two men instead of one did tbe work. J. heir
identity has never been discovered, but it is
supposed that they were residents of the
locality, encouraged to crime by temporary
impecuniosity.
Naked and Starving.
Idaho Statesman.
Persons passing along one of the wood
roads leading to the summit beyond Claw-
son's toll gate, have frequently seen two
little girls almost destitute of clothing and
apparently in an almost starving condition.
Rev. Mr. Skidmore has been investigating
tbe case and tells a story so pathetic of Jhe
sufferings of these poor children that it ap
peals to the heart of every parent. About
tour months ago the mother of the little
girls, and her babe died of want and starva
tion, tbe unnatural father refusing to pro
vide a doctor or any assistance. The mau's
name is given as John Rutherford, and is
said to be the stepfatner of the littic- girls,
and his treatmtnt of them is described as
brutal and inhuman, and it is feared that
the children are kept in the mountains to
gratify the fiendi&h propensities . of the
brute. If the man is beyond reach cf the
authorities of Ada county, he is not beyond
reach of the authorities of Boise county.
But in any (.vent the great law of riuht will
not permit the children to go naked, hungry
and nncared for. This case will certainly
appeal to good people everywhere, and
some meant must be found immediately to
protect the innccent children.

East Oregonian.
A man named Henry bmitn came oyer

Body Found.
Astoria Pioneer.
The campers at Oceau Grove awoke
yesterday morning to find about five
thousand luscious crabs parading the
beach and instantly tbe whole camp was
out for a feast. They were scooped in by
the sackfull and every camper bad a de
licious breakfast with enough crabs
cooked for the whole day and a ton or so
Ictt over tor future feasts. Alter every
one had filled up to tbe collar button a
belated crab nuntur, looking tor tne re
mains of tbe i-rustaceous tribe, saw an
object in the breakers which he soon
lound to be the decomposed corpse ot a
drowned fisherman. The body was pulled
ashore and efforts made to find out who
he had been, but no clue was obtainable
except that he wore an oil-skin suit . The
features were unrecognizable, but it was
supposed that the man had been drowned
from one of the Columbia river fishing
boats. What disposition was made of the
remains our reporter failed to learn. The
crabs were all fat and tender, but the

Mr. Thomas McGrath, of Camas Prairie,
met with an unfortunate accident the latter
part of last week. He was carrying a
sickle to a mower on his shoulder and was
followed by one child riding a horse and an
other little one on foot. The old gentleman
fearing that the horse was about to run
over the child started to its assistance
when, being lame, he stumbled and fell,
and the sickle shaved his ear off clean to
his head. The lateness of the hour pre
vents our getting further particulars.
Our readers will no doubt remember the
discovery of tbe mangled body of a man in
the basement ot the Villard Hotel in Port
land some four years ago. The body was

identified at that time as one Thomas Ken
nsally, but no clew whatever, was obtained
of the murderers. A clipping from a
Springfield, Mass., paper contains tho an
nouncement that a man named Patrick 11.
Dolao, bad just died in the hospital there
and had made a confession to a priest that
he and another man in 188(1 murdered a
stranger in the basement cf the old il
lard (Portland) hotel.
Lse Putman,aged about eleven yra'-s. son
of J. R. Putman, of High l'i-airir. had bis
thumb badly lacerated on last Monday
afternoon by the premature discharge ot a
small 22-calibre pistol. The pistol had been
laying around tbe bouse for some time but
they had no cartridges,, ami ou Monday his
older brother had been to Ceuterville and
procured some, and ou returning carried the
pistol in bis bip pocket. 4s he attempted
to get out of the back the pistol fell to tbe
ground and the little fellow made a grap for
it and immediately went to working the
hammer, holding it as a careless person
will in the left band with the thumb right
over the muzzle. He was imme-liately
brought to Goldendale when Dr. Stowell
dressed the wound. Fortunately the bone
was not injured.
There are three surveying parties in the
field surveying for th3 Hunt sytem of
railroads from Hunt's Junction to Portland.
One is ascending Lewis river to the Klicki
tat" Pass from the west, one bas almost
completed a survey from opposite Hunts
Junction to the Klickitat Pass and the
other is wrestling with tbe precipitous rock
walls and shell rock mountains coming np
the river. None of the lines baye been
connected yet, hence the only thing that
would lead to the statement that the route
had been determined upon, would neces
sarily have to be based npoa the discovery
that the river rcuto was impracticable on
account of the expanse. Only a few miles
of that line has been surveyed, while tho
line through this valley aud the Klickitat
Pass is almost completed.
Dr. I. T. Catting, who at one time resided
ia Goldendale, and who will be remembered
is having married Mi3a Frank. Condon, of

speech and has been a source of great an

into his brain and caused his death July
10th. He spent part of the winter in
! Portland in the hands of tbe best physician
he could hear of, but he returned in the
pring to Conconully without having ob
j tained any relief. He leaves a wife and
two children not very well provided for.
This is certainly an unfortunate family.
The poor old mother .is a widow, and only
a few months ago ths husband of her
