St. Paul Pioneer Press' The successful in
. traduction of the reindeer into Alaska to
increase the food supply will probably bn

bia death.

road bridge, becoming entangled in tbe
ties and stringers, and tbe uncouth brute
bad to be bodily lilted and conveyed from
liis strange stamping ground before the
train could proceed.
Somebody who has time ou bis hands
has been figuring tbe whole thing out and
finds that it costs tbe people of tbe United
States 1250,000,000 a year to be born,
$300,000,000 to be married, f.5,000,000 to
be buried, and $900,000,000 to get drunk.
These are positively alarming figures.
Can't we knock ofi a little on the expenses
of birth, marriage and burial ?

Astoriam While bailing out a scow at
Jim Crow Sands, one of Enyart's work
men forgot to replace the plug before re
launching tbe scow and thus narrowly
escaped death. Tbe night was stormy,
and about 8 o'clock one of the men dis
covered that the scow was sinking. Those
on board climbed on the root for safety
and left some horses which were on board
to their late. Tho sides of the shanty
were broken by tbe force of the waves
and one of the horses swept overboard.
The animal managed to get its fore feet
on the edge of tbe scow and remained in
that position the entire night The dam
age done was slight.
East Oregonian: Civil Engineer Gem
mell and a force of men are engaged in
making a survey on tbis side of tbe
Walla Walla river for tbe irrigation eo
terprise organized by W. F. Couitoey of
Tacoma, T. J.' Kirk of this county, and
John F. Boyer, tbe banker ot Walla
Walla. A survey was made for a canal
on the other side of the river, but as it
was thought tbat tbis might not cove;
sufficient ground another route is now
being located. It is possible tbat can as
may be ran on both sides of tbe river,
leading from near tbe moutb of Mill
creek, in order to irrigate as much land
as possible, Tbe result of tbe new sur
vey will determine what coarse will be
pursued by the projectors of tbe enter
pnse.

Circumstances at present would seem to
indicate that trouble might vet come to
some Florence people out ot the AiDerison
matter, savs a correspondent in the ftugene
Guard. Detective (Joe h ran, ot bugene, nas
been in Florence looking after tbe case.
Tbe present trouble seems to haye arisen
out of money matters, which money it is re

The money, of course, was stolen from the
Tacoma bank and, as they have located it,

Fire was discovered in Reed's hotel at
Centralia about 1 o'clock Sunday morning.
Before the firemen could get to the building
flames were pouring out in every direction,
and the Washington bakery next door soon
caught fire, and was beyond control of the
firemen in a few seconds. Nothing could
be done to save those two buildings, and
hundreds of the citizens stood and watched
them burn to the ground. Seyeral vacant
lots between tbe fire and the next buildings
prevented the loss of the fine north-end res
idences. The origin of the lire is unknown.
A rigid - investigation will be carried on.

The store of Mr. N. Harris is the scene of
great attraction every evening, and the
cause of this is the auction sales. Large
crowds attend, and goods are disposed of at

The Oregon prison contractors must have
a good thing. The last quarterly report
says that 222 convicts are employed, and
their earnings for the quarter netted
the state $5138.77. Two hundred and
twenty-two men at the low salary of $15
per week id thirteen weeks would earn
$43,290. Worked, as the convicts are, the
men mnst certainly earn at least $20 per
week. Thirteen weeks of labor ot ssl men
at this figure amounts to $57,720. This
would leave a net profit to the contractors
of $52,582.03 per quarter, or $210,328.12
per year. There is big money in employing
convicts.
Astoria Talk: Some light-fingered indi
vidual came down on the Thompson Tues
day evening and relieved a few of the pas
sengers of their loose change, etc. A .bos
ton drummer named Burr lost his trunk
checks, a return ticket to Portland and a
few dollars in change, which he had in his
trousers pocket. A fine gold watch and
wallet containing $100 was under his pillow
and the thief failed to get it. Another
passenger lost $1.50, all the money he bad,
and a lady passenger lost a package con
taining a dress pattern. The abstracting
was all done from passengers sleeping in the
section berths in the cabin, and none of the
staterooms were entered.
Court street was enlivened this afternoon
by the tooting of horns and the baying of
dogs,and our reporter ascertained the cause
to be the return of a hunting party from
the vicinity of what is known as the Mc
Clure cabin, about twenty miles from this
city. Tbe party consisted of Mr. L. Stump
and son Johnathan, A. J. and Geo. Ander
son, C. E. Haight, Geo. Joles and twelve
well-trained bear dogs. They bad been ab
sent about three days, and were so far suc
cessful that they killed three bears. It is
related of Mr. Stump that he was treed by
a monstrous bruin until his companions
came and killed the bear that kept him in
his perilous position. The party looked as
though their experiences in the mountains
had been somewhat rough and rugged; but
undonbtedly they slept well and had good
appetites for food.
THEY ARE STILL AT LAEGE.
A Liye McCoy Affair.
Statesman.
The particulars of an affray which oc
curred at McCoy last Friday .night are, as
near as we can gather, as follows :
A gentleman by tbe name of Beam,
who has for some time been making his
home in Eastern Oregon, while his wife
lived at McCoy, returned home a short
time ago. Some parties, who probably
desired a row, pui a flea in bis ear in re
gard to an alleged intimacy existing be
tween his life partner and Mr. David W.
Sears, late county clerk. So Beam
thought to justify bis suspicions by the
old-time trick of tellintr his wife that he
was going on a journey to remain the
nigm. ue went to .Ferrydale, but re
turned after dark, hid in the grass near
the front gale, found his wife and Mr,
Sears in conversation, drew his little pen
knife, and made at him with blood in his
eye and vengeance in bis heart. Being a
cripple and taken by surpris.-, Mr. Sears
conld not defend himself until after he
had received several gashes, but nothing
dangerous. The other version of the af
fair, and probably tbe correct one, is that
Beam established beyond question tbe
truth of his suspicions, which had been
shared by many people at McCoy. It is
said tbat Mr. Beam exacted a promise
from Sears that be would take care of the
woman, and tbat now Beam is making
arrangements to leaye the country and go
to Eastern Oregon.
Death of Capt. E. M. White.
Baker Democrat.
The news of the death of Captain E. M.
While, which was received in Ibis city
last Sunday by telegram from Portland,
occasioned a feeling of profound sorrow
among all of the old residents of the
community, and called up many reminis
cences of the past. Capt, or Milt White,
as he was more familiarly called, was one
of the earliest pioneers ot Baker county,
arriving at Auburn in 1862, the era of the
first discovery of gold in Eastern Oregon.
He was one of the first promoters of the
Auburn canal constructed to supply
water fur mining purposes and was for
several years engaged in the mercantile
business there. Later he moved to Gem
Town, then the' seat of the placer mines
of Sparta district, Union county, and car
ried on a mercantile business and was
interested more or less in mining. For
the past seyen or eight years he devoted
his entire t'me operating the Dolly Var
den mine in Sanger district. About three
months ngo his health was such that he
was compelled to go to Portland, where
his wife had preceded him, in the hojie of
being benefitted. He gradually grew
worse, and on last Saturday evening at
8 o'clock he passed away peacefully, sur
rounded by all tbe near members of his
family. Capt. White was born in Illinois
in March, 1832, and came to Oregon in
1845. Was captain of steamers owned
by the O. S. N. Co. on the Columbia and
Willamette rivers for several years and
was always an enterprising and energetic
citizen.
The Surveyor Bun Off Again;
W. W. Statesman.
County Surveyor L. W. Loehr and several
assistants were again compelled to leave the
land of Pat Rnssell Wednesday morning
in tbe face ot a double-barrelled shotgun.
About 8 o'clock Mr. Loehr and his assist
ants left the city and proceeded to the piece
of land in question, mention of which was
made in the Statesman of Monday. Arriv
ing on the ground the work of running the
section Hues was commenced and they had
gotten about a quarter of a mile of the
work completed,, when Mr. Russell and a
hired baud rode up on horseback, the latter
having a double-barrelled shotgun in his
bands. Mr. Loehr informed Russell that
as county surveyor he had a right to go up
on any section line in the county, and be
was going to finish the work. Russell then
became very furious and pulling his watch
out of his pocket told the surveyor and his
men, he would give them five minutes in
which to get off tbe land. Mr. Loehr en
deavored to reason with Russell about the
matter, but tbe latter still persisted in bay
ing the men leave, and in order to save any
trouble the surveyor left the place and
came back to town, Rnssell is determined,
and says any one who tresspasses upon the
land is liable to get hurt. The matter is
not yet settled and more interesting devel
opments are expected.

The Bank Bobbers Probably lioeated
bat not Captured.
Wallowa Chieftain.
Concerning the bank robbery, of which
tbe Chieftain's extra gave full particulars
last week, there remains but little to say,
The robbers have not been captured, and
the reneral oninion is that they are not
likely to be in the future.
Last Thursday afternoon, as Marcel Gag-
non and John Seek were going up Hurri
cane creek canyon, they were passed by
some men on horseback. Gagnon and Seek
were on the upper trail just above the park
and the men were traveling the lower trail,
Seek shouted in order to attract their at
tention but failed to get any response
Supposing the men to be a party of pros
pectors, the two miners hurried on with
the intention of making camp with them
that night. When tbe men bad reached a
point probably a mile above tbe park four
shots were fired, and another man came
down to the trail and apparently joined
them. Gagnon and Seek found the place
where the shots had been fired, and also
noticed tbat horses had been grazing by the
side of the trail. The supposition is that
these men were the robbers, and that they
had a companion in waiting at the place
where the shots were fired. Messrs. Gag
non and Seek failed to overtake their men,
but state that they took the trail leading to
the Minum canyon, where they were sup
posed to be in hiding at last accounts.
Last Sunday evening word was sent to
Enterprise that searching parties bad the
robbers surrounded on the Minum, and
Sheriff Humphreys immediately went out
to that locality to render what assistance
be could. He bad not returned last even
ing, so nothing definite is yet known of the
situation.
Word comes from Elgin that early last
Friday morning a man riding a worn-out
horse appeared at a farmhouse near that
place, and asked the nearest way over the
mountains. Being informed that the best
road was through the town of Elgin, but
that distance conld be saved by crossing
the fields, he replied that he wonld take
the road. As soon as he supposed himself
out of sight, however, he went the nearest
way, and this cirenmstance aroused suspi
cion that he might be one of the robbers.
We are informed that he was followed by
the parties who suspected him, but they
have not yet made any returns.
While there is some hope tbat the thieves
will be brought to justice, the general
opinion is that they have made good their
escape.
uncle of petitioners, for safe keeping at
tbe request of decedent; tbat John Max
well bas secreted the will and kept tbe
contents thereof and its eltects from tne
petitioners and legatees, who were at the
time of the execution thereof very young
and now neglects and refuses to produce
the will, and falsely and fraudulently
alleges it to be lost. Able legal talent
has been engaged on both sides, and the
case will be hotly contested.
LEPEOSY.
J. II. Babcock Pronounced a lper
lie has Jtrrn Isolated.
Eugene Guard.
Dr. D. A. Paine arrived last evening from
McKenzie precinct, about 55 miles east of
Eugene, where be bad been for the purpose
of examining into the condition of one, J.
H. Babcock, who was charged by his neigh
bor with being afflicted with the incurable
disease, leprosy. He was assisted by Dr.
J. H. Barr, ot the Foley Springs. After
thorough examination, it was determined
beyond a doubt that he was afflicted with
the disease. The sores have- broken out
and are now running.
Dr. Paine made arrangements for bis
complete isolation, Babcock agreeing here
after to stay on his premises, permitting no
one to enter bis house which is located
about one-half mile north of the McKenzie
bndge.
Arrangements were made with A. S.
Powers to procure food and leave it at an
accessible place for tbe afflicted man.
Babcock says that his father and mother.
were both citizens' of tbe United States, al
though he was born at Honolulu. Tbat his
mother came to the Islands when a child
with United States Minister Gregg and
family and was raised by them. His father
a pilot at the harbor of Honolulu. He
said that the disease made its first appear
ance on him about four years ago in Hono
lulu, and he was examined by the govern
ment board of physicians who pronounced
him a "suspect." He then left tbe place
and came to Astoria, staying there for a
time, and afterwards coming to this coun
try about two years ago. Babcock is 24
years old.
It will be lucky, indeed, if some persons
in tbat section have not contracted tbe
disease, as he bas been allowed to visit at

The Canadian Scandals.
Uuebec, Oct. 22. A sensation was
created at the session of the Baie des
Cbaleurs commission this morning by
Jndge Irvine, Pacaud's . counsel, who
asked that bis client be examined at once.
He said tbat Pacaud was prepared to go
on the stand and explain every transac
tion be has made since the $100,000 bad
been paid him. He was ready, be said,
to produce all vouchers, and would
present a statement of all his expendi
tures for tbe guidance cf tbe commission
ers. He was sure tbat Pacaud would be
able to give a fnll and satisfactory ex
planation of every transaction tbat had
taken place, which would prevent grop
ing in tbe dark. After holding along
consultation with his associates, Judge
Chairmin Jette announced tbat the com
missioners would be glad to avail them
selves ot this offer, that Pacaud would be
given a chance to explain and tbe com-
mieloners would be glad to receive bis
statement. His testimony was favorable
to Premier Mercier.

Famine In Russia.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 22. The famine
has extended to Siberia. The governor
bas compiled a report, showing in tbe
districts of Koktbecetosh and Petrapaw-
losk that what food supplies tbe inhabi -
tants possessed bave been entirely ex
hausted, and appeals are made to public
charity. Owing to tbe difficulty of
transportation in winter, efforts at relief
seem almost hopeless. Supplies from
Caucasia are improving in quality, and it
is hoped they will avail to stave off tbe
worst effects of the famine. Advices
from the interior of tbe empire are con
tinually of worse import. Tbe people
are commencing to not in Samara, Sara -

Worse Than Murder.
Astorian.
Recently a story came from the north of
the murder of a white man at Point Hope,
by natiyes, and of the terrible revenge
taken by his comrades. The facts in the
case have just come by letter from Onalas-
ka. It seems that the crime and retribu
tion occurred at Point Barrows, a whaling
station, which is the farthest north of all
places inhabited by white men. It seems
that a Portugese named Manual was one of
the white men employed at a steam whaling
station at Point Barrow. He became en
amored of a squaw and induced the woman
to live with him. The native husband ob
jected to this and took the woman away by
force. Soon after the husband went on
deer-hunting expedition, and during his ab
sence the woman again went to live with
Manual. When tbe husband returned he
went with a rifle to Manual's hut and seized
the woman. Just then Manual and a friend
appeared. They threw the Indian out of
the house, whereupon the enraged man
raited his rifle and blew Manual's brains
out. When the white men learned ot the
shooting they went to the Indian's bouse,
dragged bim out, and tied him up by tbe
thumbs to a flagstaff. The poor fellow
begged for mercy, declaring be had done
only what any of them would have done
nnder similar circumstances, as he was mad
with jealousy and had been abused by the
man who stole his -squaw. Despite his pleas
the white men formed a bne about seventy-
five feet from him, and then literally rid
dled his body with bullets. A party of na
tives witnessed the affair, and when it was
over they cnt the body down and buried it.

A LOGGING CHUTE.
One
Chutine liOSS at tbe Kate of
Ilnudred Miles an Hoar.
C&thlamet Gazette.
Tbe ingenuity of tbe average logger in
bis efforts to get the great forest monsters
to tide water is often taxed to its utmost,
especially if tbe ground be very rough or
steep. At times fine bodies of timber
will be found at altitudes of 700 to 100
feet above tbe leyel of the river and the
ascent is too precipitous to admit of any
hauling being done. In cases like this
tbe services of a logging chute are
brought into requisition.
Tbe building ot these chutes require a
considerablo amount of energy and skill
besides a large outlay of money.
One of tbe longest and most expensive
adjuncts to logging of this nature is the
Captain Anthony chute, near Clifton.
It was built in 1880, at a cost ot $60,000,
and is nearly three-quarters of a mile in
lengtb. For a considerable distance the
bottom is shod with railroad iron. H. A.
Newberry Is logging in a fine body of
timber and uses tbe chute to send bis logs
to tide water. Some idea of the velocity
attained by tbe logs in their downward
journey can be calculated when it takes a
log just twenty seconds to make tbe trip.
If by accident a small log happens to
stop on tbe way and is followed by a
larger one, the force ot tbe concussion is
such tbat it splinters both logs into match
wood. Sometimes the logs leave their
course and take a circle around and swing
into line again. When tbe stick strikes
the riyer it raises the water to a distance
of 200 feet in the air, and presents the ap
pearance ot a miniature waterspout for
the time being.
Shooting at Lower Soda,
Albany Herald.
Late last evening a man named Atkinson,
who runs a boarding bouse at Lower Soda,
came to this city and applied to Dr. Davis
to have a wound in the leg dressed. He
said that he had been shot in an altercation
with Wm. McEinnon, well known in this
city. His story is that he was passing Mr.
McKinnon's place on Tuesday morning,
when the latter came out of the house and
bailed him. He was driving in a buck-
board, and when be stopped Mr. McKinnon
asked him what be threatened to thrash his
(McKinnon's) boy for. Atkinson said tbat
he had not threatened to do so. The other
said that his boy told bim be had; Atkin
son then said that the boy had lied, where
upon trouble began. Atkinson says tbat
McKinnon came after him witb a stick or a
clnb, and struck him witb it. He returned
the blows with a stout hazel whip-stock.
McKinnon then drew a 38-caliber revolver
and fired at bim, the shot taking effect in
the left leg, just above the ankle. He had
remained in the buckboard, and when the
shot was fired, whipped his horses and
drove away at a rapid pace. Atkinson
came at once to this city for treatment, and
Bays he will swear out a warrant this morn
ing for the arrest of Mr. McKinnon.
The wheat contest on the Washington
side still continues. It is one of those cases
in which the old song can be uttered:
Let them both eo in,
Ana let the best man win;
For they're both from the happy land of Canaan.
It means advanced prices for the farmers,
and this signifies prosperity for the whole
country.

Papers have been filed in tbe Lane
county probate court instituting a 'will
case tbat will probably prove of a highly
sensational character. Tbe petition filed
sets forth tbat Sarah Maxwell died in
Lace county, Oregon, Hay 1, 1870, at the
age of 65 years, and was a resident of
said county, and at the time of her death
she was the owner of property of tbe
value of $20,000; that prior to her death
she legally bequeathed all of said prop
erty to her four grandchildren, William
and Edward Maxwell, . tbe petitioners,
and Susie and Matilda Maxwell, share
and share alike to each of tbem ; tbat the
will was never revoked or annulled and
was made at tbe request and dictation of
defendant by Joel Ware, and Fannie

Thb Dalles, Or., Oct. 23d.
Editor Tmxs-MouxTAOTrai:
There may be more glory for tbe Acad
emy ball nine to try and deieat tne city
nine by publishing false articles in the news
papers than winDing a game in the field;
bat such a publio dare as was published in
last evening's Chronicle, nnder the bead of
"Academy Items," should not go nnnoticed,
and if, after bavins been defeated three or
four times by tbe city nine, they still thirst
for more their desires may be satisfied by
having a game. Possibly there may be
more brains in the Academy nine than in
the city nine, and with a pencil and paper
might force the publio to think they were
ball players; bnt when we enter the field
we are their superiors, as has been proved.
Although The Dalles nine bas disbanded for
the season, yet we can find enongh cripples
and substitutes in town to defeat the W. L
A. nine, and when they condescend to pre
sent us with the proper challenge, their
colors may be lowered by getting a game.

Cowboys over in Washington have lun
with bears before they finally dispatch
them, as will be seen from tbe following
from tbe Ellensburgh Localizer: "On
Thursday of last week Elijah Gruell and
C. Gilliam were out cattle hunting and
whilst passing by tbe field of Thos. Barn-
hart they spied a black bear in his field,
and gave chase to it. Gilliam went to
Jack Love's honse and borrowed bis gun
and Gruell Kept his eye on the bear in
the meantime. When Gilliam returned
witb tbe gun Gruell drove the bear out of
the brush and Gilliam lassoed it, the rope
catching it behind its fore legs. After
toying with it all they wanted it was shot,,
loaded on a horse and packed to Lowe's
couse. dressed - and a mess of it for
the party was cooked for dinner. Tbis
was at tbe mouth of the Cooke canyon
where the bear was killed. The above
is substantially as Gruell told the capture
to us."
