The postmaster at Grant, although a
distributing point for about forty offices
in Oregon and Washington, receives only
$150 a year for clerk hire and about $360
salary. Our postmasters are the poorest
paid of any of the public servants, and
our senators and congressman should in
terest themselves in this matter. There
are no public offices which require the
same care and ability as the postal de-
fiartment, and in every inttnnce the
aborer should be worthy of his hire.

without a warrant nothing was done.

that the homicide was a case of suicide.
Wednesday Dr. King, of Scio. received a
letter from his granddaughter, a resident of
Empire, stating thata man, not giving bis

One of the street commissioner's workers
made a break for liberty " yesterday;
but be was captured and a ball and chain
placed on bis leg. He again eluded the vig
ilance of the street commissioner, and made
his way to the bridge, where he secreted
himself. Being again caught another ball
and chain was placed on the other leg.
This was considered sufficient to debar him
from following bis pranks; but the street
commissioner, turning bis back for a few
moments, the man again attempted a foot
race; but in climbing over a picket fence,
was fastened in rather a precarious predica
ment by the balls and chains refusing to
pass between the pickets. He could neither
retrace nor continue his steps forward, and
in this condition Jack found him and ad
ministered a well-merited chastisement.
After this he continued his work withont

Wasco Observer: We learn that efforts
are being made to put a line of boats on the
Columbia to handle this year's crop of

more can be procured without much dith
culty These boats will run between Pasco
and Celilo and will connect with the Hunt
system of roads sear Pasco. The people of
toutbern Gilliam county are willing to pay
the same rates to Tacoma and Seattle as
they now pay to Portland, with a view
thereby of encouraging the inauguration of
such an important enterprise. It behooves
the farmers or aherman county to act in a
similar spirit and ship their grain by this
route to Tacoma or Seattle instead of to
Portland. The scheme is one which should
be encouraged by the people of this section
as it may ultimately be tbe means ot bring
ing cs railroad. Mr. Hunt will return
from New York in a few days to commence
work on the building of bis road to fort-
land, and be may be induced to give this
section a branch road it be can be brought
to see that tbe trade of Sherman county
would justify him in doing so.

forced up when the mountain went down
and tbe water all spilled out. The mount
ain is now an island, as. it were, sur
rounded by almost perpendicular walls of
rocK about one nunurea leet in neij;ui.
The theory of tbe discoverers is that tbe
mountain was located over a vast cave
and the weight of the heavy snows last
winter crushed it in. Tbe noise made by
the sinking mass of rocks and drills and
tree was heard. several miles away, out
tbe parties did not know until recently
what caused it. me lane cannot ue
shown in corroboration of this story as it
has disappeared,' but the hole is there
with the mountain In it and may be viewed
by doubling Thomases, who will tase the
trouble to visit it. It is a sight well worth
going miles to see.-- It is three miles from
laird's on Coos Bay wagon road.
Umatilla and Piute Indians in Malheur,
Loug Crock Eagle.
The citizens of Malheur county are com
plaining ot the Umatilla and Piute Indians
slaying tbe deer and elk in the mountains
of their county. Killing tbe elk and deer
at this season of the year means the dis
traction of all the vounc. as they are net
old enough to live without the assistance of
the mother .animal.
Not only have they cause to complain for
their slaughtering innumerable deer ana
elk. but claim that from their careless use
nf fire, thousands of acres of good range is
destroyed, and the forest kept ablaze aur
ing the remainder of tbe year.
The law of Oregon ia very binding upon
its citizens relative to destroying the timber
and killing the came during this season oi
tbe year, but the Un-.atilla and Piute bucks
annear to be exemnt from such a law, kill
inz snch animals as they choose and without
tear of punishment.

A Perilous Descent.
, Celilo, dr., July 31, 1890.
Editor Tnias-MoCKTAissoi:
Yesterday tbe watchman of the Celilo
cannery had business across the river and
on returning to the Oregon side started to
cross a little too close to the rapids, and
was carried over; a feat which waa never
performed before and any of tbe crew lived
to tell it. Tbe boat was in every way sca
worthy, t it proved to be, and rrrried the
occupant safely over to a projecting rock,
which it touched and he jumped out. The
boat went on and the man was landed on a
rock in the middle of a terrible river. A
party of Initial's residing and making their
living by fishing for the Celilo Fishery came
there and said if they had paddles and a
canoe corked they would go and take the
man off. Everything they requested was
done, which consumed several hours. Then
tbe Indians concluded that aix ot tnem
would be reqnired to do it and their charges
would be $25 per man or $150 for the job.
Mr. Geo. Cczel and his friend "fishermen"
close by came and rescued tbe man in
fifteen minutes, and would not charge one
cent. Please give our noble red citizens
what they are entitled to, and, also the
whites. L H. T.
