The following is from tbe New York
Tribune: "The first consignment ol Eng

ham bad ever received. They are a
beautiful bird, weighing probably two
pounds each, and as tbey are prolific and
hardy, tbey should prove a good addition
to tbe game birds of America. If they are
not destroyed by indiscriminate shooting.
These birds were imported from England
and set free in Oregon. The experiment
bas been a success so far. Soma h

Referring to plucky Mrs. Dye, who
- cleared her own land on the south fork of
tbe Nooksack river in Washington, and
built a road to it, the Blaine Journal says :
"Building a half mile of road through
the woods doesn't mean taking a fan and
parasol and walking along a shady path
with the birds singing gaily and "undis
turbed by the squeak of your Kid shoes
on the soft earth. No; it means log-rolling;
it means heaving and straining until
the perspiration runs off her forehead
like rain, nntil her face is streaked with
smoke and dust until it looks like the
colored lady in the minstrel show, clothes
all saturated with perspiration and dust,
until they feel like a wet dishcloth, and
at night, when the day of lifting and per
spiring is over, cling to her nntil the cold
chills run up- and down from foot to
head." I here is not much poetry in this
description, but there is a vast amount of
truth.
With all our boasted civilization there
are still a few primitive corners of the
great state of Oregon. The Ochoco He
me says that on last Wednesday the wo
men dropped their dish rags, the mer
chants left their Customers, the ramhlxra
quited the gaming tables, tbe editors
thought tbe millineum had come, busi
ness houses of all kinds were deserted,
the street cows tacked their tails betwixt
their legs and started for pastures new
the fabled saddle animal of Jerusalem
began to bray and all the town ot Prine
ville was in such a commotion as will
never again be witnessed uutil tbe day of
judgment shall have arrived. Wm. Mc
Meekin and his steam engine was the
cause of all this commotion, he having
blown the whistle at the hoar of noon, it
being the first steam whistle that was
eyer sounded in Prineville, or as a lady
naively remarked, it was the first whistle
that was eyer "hooted" in Prineville. By
this time next year the people of Prine
ville may expect to hear the daily whistle
of the locomotives of the Oregon Pacific
railroad.

Newport Times: Tnis is the first year iu

Salem Statesman: The last legislature
made an appropriation, as betore noted in
these columns, of $6000 for the printing of
50,000 copies of the "Resources of Oregon,"
to be distributed at the world's fair and
elsewhere. Aud the state board of agricul
ture, which is to furnish the copy for the
book, has appropriated from its funds the
sum of $1000 for the compilation of statis
tics and data and the preparation of tbe
copy for this pamphlet, which is not to coo-
tain over 200 pages.
Before tbe Chronicle waa six months old

Governor Peonover has annointad FT. Tt
Compspo, of LiokvMe, Klamath county, to
War at North Dalles.
Yesterdsy afternoon there was a small
speck of war at the shoe lactory at Rock
land, and this morning a reporter of the
TiMES-MouKTAiNEEB hunted up Mr. C.
L. Wright, and from him gleaned the fol
lowing: Some time since Mr. Z. T. Wright pur
chased tbe interests of the Boston Shoe
and Leather Company in and to the
machinery in the factory, and on Monday
Mr. C. LJ Wright came up en the noon
train to remoye the property which was
purchased by his brother to Portland.
That afternoon, in company with others,
he crossed the river and hauled away two
track loads of machinery. He was met
by parties who used abusive language
and made threats. Yesterday afternoon
Mr Wright again crossed the river to
haul the remainder of the machinery to
this city; baton arriving at the factory
found the doors barricaded, and Messrs.
N. Whealdon, E. G. Spade, Thompson
and others on the inside. Mr. Wright
says tbe parties on the inside displayed
pistols and made threats if a forcible en
try was attempted. Thinking it not ad
visable to batter down the doors, J ustice
Gilmore was consulted, and on the out
side of the building attempted to read the
statute to those holding forcible pesscs
sion. but such a din was created on the
inside that scarcely a word could be
heard.
Warrants were then sworn oat for the
arrest of Whealdon, Spade, Thompson
and others, aud placed in the hands of
Sheriff Stimsoa, who came fromtGolden
dale this morning; but as the parties are
in Oregon he cannot serve his writs.
It is claimed by the Boston Shoe and
Leather Company that the contract with
the Interstate Investment has been com
plied with in every particular; bui the
subsidy promised bas not been paid, and
for this reason it claims the right of dis
posing oi its interests to whom it pleases
On the contrary, Mr.-N. Whealdon, on
the part of the trustees on behalf of the
subsidy subscribed by citizens of The
Dalles and the Interstate Investment Co.,
states that the Boston Shoe and Lesther
Co. has not complied with the provisions
of the contract, and holding forcible pos
session yesterday was to protect the in
terests of subscribers. In time, he says,
he will make a full statement of the facts.
We are informed that Sheriff Stimson
has full possession of the property, and
will hold it until the matter is settled in
the courts.
The views of the Tihes-Mountaineeb
in regard to both these companies have
been frequently expressed through these
columns, and U is not necessary to reeter
ate them. The scheme to boom North
Dalles has always met with our severest
condemnation, and in this fight we shall
wait patiently until the courts settle tbe
questions at issue.

Where u Hummiatone? .
Portland Telegram, 15th.
Frank B. Hummistone, a member of tbe
Salvation Army, has been missing since the
2d of October, and no one seems to haye
any idea where he is at present. There are
rumors that he has been foully dealt with.
He left Astoria on the 30th of September
and came to Portland, where he attended
the rally ot tbe Salvation soldiers on the
East Side on the night of the 2d, but has
not been seen since. He remarked to some
one at that time he thought he wonld make
a visit to his brother at Logan, Oregon, and
presumably set out on the trip. After sev
eral weeks had elapsed with no word from
him, inquiries were set on foot and the
brother answered that he had not seen
Frank for six years. This naturally sur
prised the friends of the missing man, but
as the weeks passed aud have grown into
nearly three months their surprise has be
come alarm.
Some time ago Hommiston is said to have
had some trouble about a married woman
in this city, for which he was terribly beat,
en by her husband and two friends, who
threatened to kill him if he showed himself
around this town again. This threat is be
lieved tu have been carried out by the for
mer assailants of Hummiston, and tbe army
proposes to put detectives on the track and
see if there is anything in such a theory.
Hummiston was quite favorably known
in Astoria, where his headquarters were,
and is said to have been square and prompt
in all his business dealings. He left no
debts behind him, and was implicated in no
shabby transactions, so that any reason for
hia disappearance, other than foul play,
aeems to be eat of the question.

The Baker City Blatle publishes the fol
lowing: The snow storm which is npon us and
coming just at this time reminds ye old
timers of the winter of '65-'66. The storm
began a little later than this and continued
until after Christmas. The snow here and
down the yalley as far as Salmon oreek was
about eighteen inches deep, and from Sal
mon creek to the extreme north end of the
valley it was strong three feet knd laid on
the ground until well along in April. Dur
ing that storm the stage npon which ex-
Sanator Slater was a passenger was suow
bound at the head of Pile canyon.
.James H. Shinn, who was on bis way to
Grande Ronde with an ox team, was snowed
in between Rock creek and North Powder,
but by hard work succeeded in getting his
cattle out and leaving the wagons, yokes,
ere., on tne plain until spring. The writer
spent that year on North Powder with Mr.
and Mrs. Morrison, at their hotel. The
storm found our station out of wood and be
fore the anow settled sufficient to admit of
the weight of a team, we were compelled to
burn all of the outbuildings, kitchen, fenc
ing and a part of the bridge across Powder
river to keep from freezing to death. It
was during the height of the storm on Dee.

Ghastly Discorery.
East Oregonian.
While Frank Snyder, a 14 year-old boy,
was driying cows across an unoccupied field
about four miles below Milton a few days
ago, be saw the skull of a human skeleton
which had recently been uncovered by the
winds blowing tbe dirt away from it. He
reported tbe discovery to some Milton peo
ple, who immediately went in search of the
relics, and while banting for the one the
boy had Zoned, they discovered two more
that had been unearthed in the same way.
The peculiar feature of this ghastly find is
that they were nearly half a mile apart. No
sign of murder or foul play are visible npon

and more than 500.000 cases were uacked
annually. This year there were but 600
boats, and the pack only reached ' 245,550
cases.
The annual report ot tbe fish commission
ers gives tbe number of canneries in Oregon
follows: Columbia nyer, 18; value of
buildings and machinery, $180,000; oil and

Two weeks have passed since you last
beard from our place, and for fear your
readers will forget us and eur flourishing
town, I will try and tell you in a few words
what has been done, what is being done and
what is intended to be done.
The railroad officials were here Saturday,
and after it was proved to them that tbia
was tbe largest wheat shipping point in
Sherman county they realized tbe necessity
of more railroad aocommodations,and prom
ised sued in the near future.
The wagon roads, leading to Goldendale
and other points in Klickitat county, are
now in better condition lor this season of
the year . than ever before, and with our
new steam ferry we command the respect
of our northern neighbois to such an extent
that nearly all their trade along the river
comes to our town.
Farmers, who have finished hauling off
this year's crop, are busy plowing, making
ready for the coming season, and if presen t
indications continue Sherman county will
have raised more grain next fall than ever
before.
Mr. R. C. Wallis, one of onr leading
merchants, has been very low for the past
two weeks with typhoid fever, and at times
was not expected to live. At present he is
gaming slowly, and it Is hoped that in
snort time ne can again be seen on our
streets. '
Oar warehouses are still full of wheat, al
though it is being shipped as rapidly as pos
sible.
as tne Holidays approach our Btorrs are
being stocked with a large assortment of
goods, which will invite tbe attention of
both old and young.
Christmas will be celebrated in due style,
Grant and Rufus will join hands and haye
a tree in tbe large school house at Ruins,
Tbe festivities of the tree will be inter

evening, after which dancing will continue
nntil all are satisfied with their evening's
enjoyment. ' X.

Courier: The eleotion is oyer and all mat
ters of public interest are resting quietly.
r or ine past year more general improve
ment bas been made than in any previous
one. Owing to the strict and attentiye
work of the city officers, the streets are in
better condition, more sidewalk built and
kept in better repair and laws obeyed with
less difficulty. The new .officers and those
re-elected can enter npon their duties with
out the least degree of embarrassment and
in the next year our oity will advance at the
same slow, steady growth as it did the past.
There are two more improvements that she

His Story.
Mr. J. M. Garrison was brought to the
city on tbe midnight train from Portland,
on a charge of larceny, by Sheriff Cates. In
an interview with him he gives the follow
ing version of the " matter: Abont two
months ago be came to this city and pro
cured wors: at bis trade as carpenter, and
put np at the New Columbia hotel. When
he arrived at the house he gave his checks
for baggage to Mr. Nichols, tbe proprietor.
and requested him to bring them down from
the depot. This was done, and Mr. Garri
son took his valise to his room and left his
tool chest in the hotel. He told Mr. Nich
ols, if it would be no inconvenience he de
sired to let the chest remain where it was,
and. be would take wbat tools he needed
each day in hia work. Mr. Garrison always
had free access to the chest, and continned
daily to take therefrom what things were
needed. He intended to remove his family
here; but received a letter from his daughter
at Anacortes,stating that she waa very sick.
He thought over the matter during tbe night,
ana concluded to take the morning train;
but left a note to Mr. Nichols stating the
facts in the case, aud expressing his sorrow
that be was forced to leave without settling
bis month's board bill. He simply took bis
valise with him at the time. After remain
ing in Portland several days, he concluded
that he would not move to The Dalles. He
came to the city, remained over niht, and
thf night clerk helped Mr. Garrison hunt
the tool chest and made no objection when
be signified bis intention of taking it with
him. He did not have tbe means at the
time of settling the bill; but is willing to
pay what he owes as soon as circumstances
will permit.
