: Mr. J. H. Larsen lost a box of books
awing me nre, some wiiu ira uanue
- "Margaret Larsen" and others with
"Maggie Larsen" on the title page; also a
bureau at the same time. Any one re

route to visit his daughter, Mrs. Ueo. H
Hoi brook, in Portland. He has resided
in that vicinity since lS'iO, and has been a
subscriber to the Mountaineer tor the
past fourteen years.
National Journalist; Mr. Charles Nick-
ell, whose biography appeared in our July
issue, was the only representative to the
Nation 1 Editorial Association, held at St.
Panl, from Oregon, as well as the brat to
represent the Press Association of that
state , in any convention. He was one of
the youngest, wealthiest and most success
ful of those who attended the convention.
The provisions and money receiyed to
day from Walla Walla was largely caused
by the individual efforts of Col. T. J.
Parker, the editor of the Statesman. In
every work in which there is au effort to
relieve suffering yon will find Col. Parker
taking the lead, and our citizens in remem
bering the liberal donation from the Queen
City of the Plain should not forget the
prime mover.
Private Charles Trumpower and Cor
poral Arnold, who were tried by the gen
eral court-martial, at Fort - Sherman,
Idaho, on the charge of being implicated
in the lynching of Warn bier Hunt, in
Walla Walla, were found guilty, and sen
tenced to prison at Alcatraz island.
Trumpower goes for four years and Ar
nold for eight It is not known whether
the charge against the other soldiers will
be dismissed or the trial continued.
Col. Frank J. Parker, of the W. W.
Statesman, arrived in the ciiy this morn
ing with 250 in money and a carload of
provisions, donated by the generous peo
ple of Walla Walla to the needy of The
Dalles by the late fire. These were giyen to
the relief committee, and will be distrib
uted to the needy. Our citizens should
feel thankful to these kind-hearted people,
who, before any appeal was made to
them, came forward with a liberal donation.-
It is almost impossible to es'imate the
advantage to the state and to any indus
trial and agricultural interest in the state,
of such a complete display as will be
. made of the resources of Oregon at the
Portland Industrial Exposition to be held
at Portland, commencing September 17th,
and continuing until October 11th. New
departures have been made from the ex
positions of preceding years and such
special features will be introduced, aside
from the regular exhibits, as will sur
prise the vast crowds that will attend.
We received a call this morning from
Mr. 8. H. Sehomerepresenting the great
Forepaugh Shows, which will exhibit
here to-morrow afternoon. The same ex
hibition will be giyen in this city that
- was given in Portland, and the great cir
cus will be complete in every particular.
One of the especial feature is the parade
of animals, which will pass through the
streets at 10 o'clocK in the forenoon. The

ant says it will take fully a week to repair

are of a select variety, and are of the most
delicious flavor.

Lake county expects to market over
6000 Bead of beef cattle this season, begin
ning shipments about the beginning of Sep
tember. Many of them will find a market
in the Sound country this season, contrary
to the custom of shipment altogether to

good this summer, and cattle will go to
market in fine fix.
Sunday Welcome: About fifty members
of the local Masonic lodges went to Oregon
City last night to celebrate the 43d anni

Pacific slope, in that city. Mr. Joseph
Hill, now 79 years of age, was the master
of that lodge. A few months later the

is the first week he visited Oregon since
that far-away time.
Papers are warning their patrons to avoid
an agent or agents representing some com
bination of merchants in Portland called by
the name of the "Pacific Coast Home Sup
ply Association." It is said the agent guar
antees to the farmers "all kinds of goods
handled by this association" at wholesale
prices in Portland, with the freight added,
and a person to obtain their rates becomes
a member of the association, which costs
him $7, which, when paid to the agent, en
title the farmer to a certificate pf member
ship, to be delivered two or three months
hence.
Albany Herald: The Froman brothers
haye returned from a trip np the Santiam
to Lower Soda. They killed six deer and
bear. They report that the Indians are
slaughtering deer in a lawless .manner
that region. Deer are more plentiful this
year than for a long time, and the Warm
Spring Indians, who came down to pick
hops, have found deer hunting more profit
able, air, froman says that be saw two
Indian women with their ponies loaded
down with fresh deer hides, many of tbetn
being fawns. He thinks they have already.

Such wanton destruction of deer is unlaw
ful and the offenders ought to be arrested
and subjected to vigorous punishment.
Albany Democrat' To-day the entire
Denny -family, now living, are together in
Albany for the first time in twenty-three
years, and the event was celebrated this

Mrs. Pike, of Wasco county, Mrs Wm.
Ralston and Mrs. W. H. Go tra, of Albany,
her only children, and several grandchildren
formed the group. As Mrs. Denny is
greatly improved in health, the reunion is
proving a happy one.
Another bear story comes to us from the
vicinity of Rockland, on the Washington
side of the river. It appears that - the
heavy fires in the mountains have driven
bruiu from his nsual haunts, and he is seek
log lower altitudes. The hero in this o se
was Mr. John Crawford, who owns a farm
about a mile aud a half from the Golden
dale road, and yesterday morning; while

East Oregonian: A sad death occurred
Monday night at the Bowman House,
that of Miss Livoni Curdet, aged 17 years.
She had been taken sick aud was con

the hope that a sojourn in the mountains
would restore ner nealin. . ne grew np

Bos well, at Vale, Malheur county, was to
tally consumed by, fire, together with
twelve head of horses, several sets of har
ness and other equipments. The loss is es
timated at $2,000.
We received a call yesterday from Hon.
0. N. Denny, who was formerly a resident
of this city, and who lately held an impor
tant position in Cores. He expressed great
regret at seeing the city so devastated by
fire, but had confidence tbat it would soon
rebuild beUer and more substantially than
ever. Judge Denny will locate in Portland,
which he will make his future home.
Eugene Guard: Deputy Sheriff Cochran
has gone to Florence iu hopes of getting
some trace of the man supposed to be Al
bertson, the Tacoma defaulter, who was
thought to have been on the Siuslaw a con
pie of weeks ago. A detective of the Sul
livan agency is in Eugene to-day, and will
leave for Florence in the ir.oroing to assist
in tracking the supposititious Albertson.
The Regulator ia doing a great portion of
the trade of the Middle Columbia. Eyery
evening she arrives at her dock at the foot
of Court street, loaded with freight and
paseenuers, and she carries nearly all goods
to The Dalles from way ports. From this
city to the Locks, practically, the river is
opened, and this tall there will be a solu
tion of the freight problem in the manner
that producers have longjiesired.
V. G. Bogue, late chief engineer of the

Harney -Times: News reaches us of
more trouble on vhe Red S. We are in
formed tbat Deputy Marshal Broady John
son received eight warrants issued by U. S.
Chief Justice Melville Fuller for the re
moval of settlers from LF Red S land, and J
that sheriff Lowing has eleven warrants
from the circuit judge of a like nature.
Our informant says tho officers proceeded
to tear down the houses and eject the set
tlers, and within fifteen minutes after the
work began 400 tons of the LF Co.'s hay
were in flames. Warrants were issued for
the Ritter-Busb brothers and Emil Fisher,
who were arrested, charged with the crime,
and officers are in pursuit of one or two
others who are claimed to be implicated.
Tbe hay burned was that put up by the
Hunt Brothers' and was not turned in to
the company yet. Feeling is at high ten
sion and more serious trouble is expected.
Mr. S. P. Hazlitt, the pilgrim printer,
walked into the office to-day from Cceur
d'Alene, having tramped tbe whole distauce.
Hazlitt is a character well known to the
craft, having worked on every paper pub
lished from San Diego, Calif., to Victoria,
B. C He is now rapidly approaching the
sere, the yellow leaf period of existence;
but, like the "Wandering Jew," there ap
pears to be a mysterious influence which
constantly impels him forward. Twenty
five yean ago he worked on the Mount
AINKKR, and has many anecdotes to relate
of former editors and compositors on the
paper who have long since passed to the
silent majority.
The TimexMountaineeb has the largest
circulation, both' daily and weekly, of any
paper published in Wasco county. It fol
lows no piratical methods, and every name
on the list is a bona fide subscriber. No
papers are sent to persons who have not ex
pressed a willingness to receive them, and
who have not given value received. . The
old, reliable Mountaineer, which has for
the past thirty years advocated the best
interests of tbe community, and whose
course in all matters, financial, industrial
and regarding a water supply, the indisput
able logio of eyents has proven true in
every instance, is by far the best advertising
medium in Wasco county. Merchants and
business men know this to be a tact, and it
is not necessary to repeat it.
The water commission have held seyeral
meetings since the late conflagration, and
have made several innovations on the plans
formerly adopted, one ot which is to con
nect the new reservoir with the lower por
tion of the citv by means of a main run
ning down Union street and east through
Third. They held a meeting this afternoon;
but it would be cruel to have made any pen
pictures of the members; for they feel ter
ribly crest-fallen over their former efforts,
and we are too generous to taunt tbem wrth
tbeir signal failure of patching np an nld
water system which has been in operation
nearly thirty years. The flames of Wednes
day, Sept. 2d, in language which cannot be
mistaken by the most ignorant, proved they
had been in error for more than a year past,
and they know it as well as any one.
W. W. Statesman: Sunday night Consta
ble Ellingsworth, brought a man named
William Hooker, to Walla Walla, from
Wallula, and locked him np in the county
jail, to be examined as to his sanity. He
was taken before Judge Upton Monday
and after an exammation by the physicians
be was adjudged insane and ordered com'
mitted to the asylum at Medical Lake.
Hooker is about zO years ot age and came
to Wallula two years ago from Georgia and
hired out as a sheep herder. Shortly after
his arrival, be was thrown from a horse.
sustaining several injuries to his head
About two months ago he became slightly
demented at times, but in a few days he
would be all right again. Saturday last be
came into W allula with his clothes all tern
to shreHs and told several persons that
large crowd of people had been following
him around the range threatening to bang
him, and tbat after a hard nght be bad
dually escaped and came to town. He also
said he had been endeayoring to return to
his home in Georgia, but there were seyerla
persons who would not let him go. He will
probably.be taken to the asylum by the
sheriff to-morrow morning.

East Oregonian: A watch, knife and pin
were found in a coal car the other day at
Pendleton by some of the coal heavers,
The articles are supposed to haye belonged
to the murdered man found at Ia Grande in
a car of coal. Tbey are in the possession
of one of the men.
Mr. S. A. Byrne, of Portland, Oregon,
has taken a position at the prescription
desk of Blakeley & Houghton's drug store.
He is a graduate of the pharmaceutical de
partment of the Torouto University, Can
ada, and has had several years' experience
in practical pharmacy. '
Goldendale Sentinel: We figure up the
average yield of wheat in this county to be
about eighteen bushels per acre. From
what we can gather from thresher men we
think the. quality this season is a little
above the average of former years. Some
cases' of shriveled grain, of course, but these
are exceptions and not the rule.
Farmers are holding wheat for better
prices, a id for that reason very little is
being sold at our warehouses. Tbe ker
nel is shriveled in many instances,
and it will not command standard
prices in tbe market. Affairs in Europe
are tn such a - shape tbat tbe high lest
price realized for years may be expected
for our grain. ...
Exchange: A newspaper is always printed
in a rush, there is always something left
oat that should have gone in; it is at times
too qnick to judge, often too quick to act.
but with all its faults and shortcomings.
there is more education in a bright newsy
paper than there is in a novel. You will
find that the brightest boy on practical sen
sible everyday, questions is he who prefers
newspa)ers to novels.
Unusual attractions will be offered to the
breeders of fine stock and the owuers of
thoroughbred cattle in the domestic and fat
stock show that will be one of the greatest
features of the Portland Industrial Exposi
tion. Already a large number of the finest
and best bred cattie from various sections
of the state have been entered . for tbe
prizes, and as the amount of the prizes ag
gregate $5000, a larger amount than has
ever been offered before, the prospect of a
lively competition is assured.
Mr. B. Campbell, general western freight
agent, of 'Portland, Mr. G. Wood worth,
assistant freight agent,and Mr. James Mon
roe, general freight agent of Omaha, accom
panied by his wife, arrived in the city on a
special. car last evening, and stopped over
for some time. From heje they proceeded
to Spokane Falls.' They came here tor the
purpose of consulting with the authorities
regarding anything they could do in regard
to fixing freight rates for those wbb intend
to rebuild, and who were burned out, dur
ing the recent fire.
Moro Observer; Edgar Messenger a
young man about 23 years old, eldest son of
J. W. Messenger, broke one of the bones of
his arm last Sunday. He was in the barn
with a colt and the colt tried to get away
from him. In order to hold the colt he
threw his arms around its neck but nnfortu
nately the colt was too strong for him. It
got him jammed np against the side ot tbe
barn and crushed his arm so that one of tbe
smaller bones below the elbow was broken.
Dr. Edgington was on the scene in the
afternoon and the bone was set. We ex
pect it is not a very serious fracture.
An exchange says a good deal of ill
natured fun is indulged in because men and
women are in tbe habit, under certain at
mospheric conditions, of remarking: "Isn't
it warm?" "Is this cold enough for yen?"
and so on. As most of n are generally in
a hurry and as, in spite of our haste, we
are inclined to be agreeable and pass a word
of recognition, or whatever we chose to call
it, upon meeting a friend, we think it is
yery pardonable, this making use of a
phrase so universal, and that tbe fellow who
objects to it should be sentenced to contin
uous yonal silence during each spell of
weather.
It is reported that the New York im
porters have contributed a round half
million of dollars which will be placed
in tbe bands of the Ohio Democracy for
use in the gubernatorial tight. They do
not love McEinley, and it i-) perhaps nat
ural tbat they snoulri desire a little re
venge. Should their money defeat him,
however, which is uot at all probable,
tbey will nut destroy the measure which
bears bis name. 1 13 effect may be disss
trnus to tbe money-making schemes of
Parsee Moore and bis importing friends,
but the better it is understood tbe
stronger the law becomes with the peo
ple. .
Goldendale Sentinel: Owing to tbe ex
ceeding rush among farmers several
threshers running under full headway,
and some headers still in the field, wheat
not sold there was not so large a crowd
gathered on September 5tb. at N. White's
residence as was expected, and the sell
ing did not begin until near 2 o'clock

$1200 worth of property sold, and all
seemed to feel that they had received
bargains. It was impossible to get
through tbat day, and tbe sale is to be
continued on October 3d. Sale to begin
sharp at 11 a. h., at which time tbe fine

fine household goods and other personal

tOt.
Dayton Chronicle.
Last Sunday, an Indian urougbt infor
mation to Starbuck of the finding of the
body of a man in Snake river. Several
parties went down to the river to investi
gate and found the body near Grange City
in shallow water, about one hundred
yards from the shore.
Sheriff Thronson and Coroner VanPat-
ten were notified Monday and immedi
ately left for the scene. They found the
body as above stated. It was in a very
bad slate of decomposition and had to be
handled with shovels. An old canoe was
found near by, which contained a roll of
blankets, some flour, bacon, coffee pot and
frying pan, which is supposed to be the
property of the dead man. The sheriff
searched the clothing and found a pocket
diary in which a record had been kept up (
to the 22d of August, when it is supposed
the man lost his life by drowning, as there
were no marks of violence found on his
person. It is also tbe supposition that
two other men lost their lives on the same
date, as an engineer on the Union Pacific
road remembers seeing three men
clinging to a canoe in the river on the22d
of August. He gave the matter no more
thought, as he did not hear of any one
missing, and supposed all got out alive,
After heanng of the find, he remembered
the circumstance.
Dr VanPatten and. the sheriff buried
the body on the bank of tbe river, about
a mile from Grange City.atter which they
made search for the missing men, but
found them not. After going down the
river about a mile, they discovered a roll
of blankets which had lodged on a rock
in shallow water, about two hundred
yards from shore. They doffed their
clothing and waded out to the bundle. It
contained flour and other articles, similar
to those found in the canoe, and it Is their
opinion that it belonged to the lost men
The -diary in the possession of the sher
iff contains the name of Wm. McCowan,
of Columbus, Wash. It also has an item
to the eflect that he was in Colfax on the
9th of August. Whether the drowned
man's name was McCowan or not is not
known. There is nothing excepting the
diary from which to establish his iden
tity.

Dufur, Ob., Sept. 13, 1891.
Editor Tmaa-MouKTAlKEKR:
Your mischievous correspondent at this
place has unhappily abandoned his sphere as
news gatherer, and made a hit at one of our
citizens that may be detrimental to him:
possibly, in relation to one ot his fondest
hopes, tbat is, getting into the grange. It
is not for ns to say that the desire exists or
tbat it does not exist, if it does it proves
nothing against the individual or the grange
that can be construed as evil. From time
mraemorial men have banded themselves
together with pnre motives, and a desire to
build each other np, in things that pertain
to individual and personal interests; so for
reasons good and strong we object right
here to Reno's tilt against "Ye Pedagogue."
Right here we hesitate, for "We to have a
tale that we can unfold" or unroll, (which
is it?) that may harrow np the feelings of
the gentle granger, and forever blast the
well known aspirations of the worthy Keno.
We would like to foibear. But when with
malice prepense the aforesaid Keno has
charged a citizen with a desire to plant
Dwarfed Pumpkins," any one can see
blood in Keno'f eye, and must understand
that he means mischief. So here she goes.
The time is evening. The Occident sky
is all aglow with the glory of departing day.
The old sentinel of the Cascades in his tow
ering grandeur seems to lift himself above
the very clouds to watch over the melon
patches that are hidden away in obscure
corners ami areas.
The moon rises in splendor diffusiug a
soft reflected light that seems to invite to
repose. The birds have ceased their songs.
and nanght but gentle zephyrs stir upon the
breast of quiet nature. But this quiet is
broken iu the neighborhood of Dufur.
Keno the man with a brawny arm steals
forth armed with a small boy. With
stealthy tread tbey course through the by
ways and alleys nntd they arrive in tha
neighboihood of tbe McLeod farm. The
wary Keno secreted in a thicket reaches
forth his cat's paw, (the small boy.) and
melon after melon yields to hia mighty
grasp. When opened if ripe, be shouts
Keno if green his language has a different
color.

F. W. Silvertooth and family passed
through Long creek Saturday, being en
route from McDnffee Springs to their home
in Antelope. Mr. Silvertooth expects to
return with his family in one month, and
permanently locate here in Long creek.
The robber who held np the U. S. mail,
in Fox valley, on tbe morning of August
26th, has, as yet, evaded capture. He
was followed through the mountains, to
ward Baker "City, until bis trail became so
indistinct that it was impossible to follow
it longer. It is supposed tbat the thief
has made his way to the higher Greenhorn
mountains, making sheep camps his head
quarters. The Umatilla Indians are preparing for
tbeir annual bunt, to provide their winter's
food, and soon there will be an exodus of
able-bodied braves ftom the reservation.
They will scatter in every direction along
the John Day, Malheur, Wallowa, Snake
rivers and all places where good hunting
grounds are afforded.
One of the largest ranches in Eastern Or
egon, without question, lies south of flepp
ner, in Morrow county. Tbis ranch is
owned by Mr. Penland, and contains 20,000
acres of good, tillable and productive land.
From J. P. Manning we learn that he has
just finished harvesting his hay crop, which
amounted to over one thousand tons. This
large body of land is all under fenoe, and
affords excellent pasturage for stock during
the entire winter season.
Thomas Smith, one of tbe early pioneers
of Grant county, was found dead in his
bed, at his ranch, a few miles above Can
yon City, last Saturday morning. Tbe de
ceased bas been in perfect health, with the
exception of a bad cough, and the coroner's
jury that was summoned, finding no marks
of violence on his body, attributed his
death to injuries that may have been caused
by coughing. However, this is the current
report, and may not be verified when the
exact circumstances are known.

At a meeting of the council Tuesday all

business wat done:
The city engineer, J. B. Wallis, and the
mayor were instructed to survey for the
grade of the streets in the burnt district,
Ordinance No. 234 was passed, repealing
Section 3 of Ordinance 231, closing all
places of business from 12 o'clock midnight
until 5 a. M.
The petition of MacEachern and Mac
Leod, asking the privilege of stretching a

was in its new shed.
Retorder Menefee was instructed to loan
some of the city street lamps to residents in
the East End, to be returned when the
council calls for them.
There appearing no further business,
council adjourned.
The Parade.
The long procession which passed through
the streets soon after 11 o'clock wsb the in
troduction of Forepaugh Shows to the peo
ple, and 18 usually denominated tbe parade.
First came some advertising wagons, fol
lowed immediately by several horse-back
riders. Then on foot came the drum and
fife corps in cadet uniforms. Immediately
following came some twenty-five men and
women on horseback. -
Chariots and fancy wagons then passed
along, and the children were delighted by
images of Santa Claus and others of child
hood's heroes. Several closed wagons, sup
posed to contain various ferocious denizens
of other climes, then were trundled along
to excite the curiosity of onlookers.
After another band wagon and numerous
handsome riding horses came the mmt in
teresting part of the parade. It was the
open wagons, and the animals they con
tained were hne specimens and numerous.
There were lions, tigers, leopards, panthers,
hyenas, poltr, grizzly and brown bears ga
lore.
ihen came another band wagon, more
riding horses and chariots, and then the
clowns, four in number, in small sulkies
drawn by diminutive donkeys.
The olephants were probably the best
ever seen here, and as they marched by.
chained two and two, it seemed strange
that the earth did not shake with their
mighty tread. Four fine camels followed
the elephants.
An object of great interest was a very
old stage coach, containing the famous rifle
shots, Captain Bogardua and sons, who
were followed by a band of cowboys and
girls, and half a dozen ferociously-painted
braves. The inevitable calliope brought up
tbe rear and the parade was over.
Tbis afternoon the performance took
place on the beach and a large audience was
in attendance.
"Pactional Friction."
The friction between the two editors at
Tbe Dalles is enough to set any town on
fire, but probably this was not the cause of
the recent conflagration at tbat place. oaa
Oregonian.
Brother Jackson, you are conect in
certain measure. Factional jealousy a year
ago caused The Dalles to expend $50,000
for the old water plant, which bad been in
operation since 1863, and defeated the best
system by direct water pressure which
could have bten inaugurated on the Pacifio
coast, having the Columbia river as a sup
ply. If this had been in operation, the fire
of Wednesday, Sept. 2d, would not have
been at all disastrous, bnt this was not
adopted, simply because of factional "fric
tion." It is high time, now that The
Dalles bas become a subject of ridicule in
every town iu the state, when millions of
dollars' worth of property have gone np in
flames, by reason of an imbecile municipal
policy, that citizens should work only for
the best interests of The Dalles, irrespect
ive of the selfish ends of rings or autocratic
factions.

Mr. P. Bolton and Murdick McLeod
were in town this week sod report the
F. S. and P. B. thresher doing excellent
work on Tygh Ridge. This machine is
an old "Buffalo Pitts" brought here nine
years ago, and bas been one of tbe first o
start and the last to quit each season
since its arrival. There is no cook
wagon or other new-fangled invention
with tbis machine. Mr. B. says the boys
get np early, comb Ihiir hair nicely, and
have a pleasant chat with the girls every
morning before breakfast is ready, and,
from experience, be knows that handsome
cooks who serve an excellent meal (and
these Tygb Ridge girls are good- looking
and know just how such a meal should
be served) will do more toward patting a
threshing crew In good bumor than' all
the modern improvements be has ever
seen around a threshing machine. He
says they have a peculiar rattle to the
dishes that will get tbe sleepiest boy out
esrly and put a smile on tbe face of tbe
most crabbed that will shine through a
good thick layer of dust nntil coon. The
only drawback Mr. Bolton complains of
so far is that Mr. Murdick McLeod, who
drives the horse power, bas increased in
weight so rapidly (192 in the shade) that
the horses are beginning to kick, but in
spite of this tey turned out over 100
bushels of wheat in thirty minutes one
day last week, and McLeod thinks he
makes up for the extra weight he bas
taken on by his melodious chuckle to
Bolton's Clydesdale mares that run tbe
horse power.
Mr: Bolton says that, taking the larg
est average crop for a standard, that tbe
present will be fully three fourths of a
crop on Tygb Ridge. This will amount
to more than a large crop would some
reasons, providing the present prices
bold out.
We were shown some excellent sam
lea of wheat from tbe farm of Mr. Leon
Rondeau, and Mr. Rondeau says he bas a
whole field of the same kind.
Dufurltes have of late been having an
evening entertainment in tbe way of a
raco and roping match between "Doc"
Balch and his cow, ''Tex." Tex is a
point or two ahead yet in the match, hut
Doc. has a most royal tread and will un
doubtedly be able to handle a rope well
ere . snow flies. Tex is not our "town
cow," but we have one tbat can hold her
own with any town cow in America, and
we have watched patiently for an item
stating tbat your Dalles cow was cre
mated during tbe late conflagration, tbat
ber charred remains were found among
the embers, and though the town would
be rebuilt, tbe cow never would. We
didnot like to bring "our pride" (I don't
know ber name, though I have beard ber
called by several short and expressive
ones) in competition with such common
stock, or we would have mentioned ber
before. She is a cross in color between a
bay aod a crashed plum, and is built
more for speed than lor milking pur
poses, and when she is in milking order
a man must look twice to know which
persuasion she actually belongs,-bnt what
she lacks in all tbat makes a milk cow
valuable she gains in general cutssdness.
She can open any gale or door, and ap
pears to. know the combination of all
locks as well as any safe expert tbat ever
went to jail. She never goes to tbe creek
for water, bnt opens tne hydrant and
drinks at tbe expense of the Dufur Water
Co. whenever she is thirsty. She is no
respecter of persons, and will dine Iato at
night on tbe flower garden of tbe capi
talist or the bop vine of tbe blacksmith
with equal zest. With tbe speed of tbe
greyboond she combines tbe digestion of
the ostrich, and bas been known to est
fittj pounds of potatoes, at one sitting,
from a barrel and then roll tbe empty
barrel into the kitchen, and afterwards
to devonr a pair ot overalls and an un
dershirt by way of dessert. E. C. Warren
informs me she had a bell on once, bat
went to a swampy place and filled it
with mud so it wouldnt'ring. and con
tinued tbis performance until she rusted
the clapper out of it. A. K. Dulur
claims to have caught her with a wire
between ber teeth, picking at tbe lock of
tbe flour mill, but Johnston Bros, say
tbat on the date Dufur mentions she
never leit the shadow of their barn, as
tbey were putting hay into it and she
watched tbe door. Tbis cow may be
slandered some, but from personal
knowledge I would believe tbat any man
who is unfortunate enough to get a pair
of -boots made from ber bide will have a
hard time keeping ont of tbe penitenti
ary. When beet is high sbe will prob
ably be worth about $15, but there are
twenty or more men here who will do
nate $5 eacb toward paying attorney
fees in clearing any man caught attempt
ing to steal ber. - K.KNO.
