Albany Herald: (Jne day last week a
mail carrier named Holgate started across
xaquina bay in a skin, and when nearly
across a large breaker broke over his

loud cries attracted the attention of citi

Miller, who has congressional aspirations in
the Second congressional district of this
state, has the old idea in, bis head, and will
start a "newspaper to announce his claims
in opposition to Congressman Hermann.
The school of experience is a very dear

man who took a brass band along when he
went shooting ducks.

Prineville . Newt: Such beautiful
weather as we experienced duriog the
entire month of January, and the same
that February has favored us with up to
. date, makes our climate simply elysian
in its character. No country on the face
ot tbe earth could have enjoyed more
pleasant mid-winter weather loan the
Inland Empire has enjoyed during tbe
past six weeks. :
Prineville News: Mr. C. A. VanHouten,
who is foreman of the B. 8. & IT. Co., of I
.Hay Creek, visited the beaver creek coun
try recently in the interest of the com
pany, and on bis return 'he called on this
office and stated that the snow un there in
all the way from eight to twelve - inches
deep, but while ali tile-stockmen are feed-
tng, leed is still abundant and stock of all
kinds is looking well. - Charley is an ex
perienced stockman and knows whereof
he speaks. - ...
It seems that everything was created
tor a purpose and all that is needed is to
find out the purpose. The universal pres
ence oi sage orusn, a snrub that is much
despised when growing where a farmer
wants to cultivate the land where it is
found, is most difficult to find use for.
Mr. Robert Long, of Boise City, has
discovered that he can make a good qual
ity of paper out of the brush. He is en
deavoring to get some capitalists to join
xii in iu ins enterprise.
- Glacier: Thursday morning a few of our
citizens asserted they bad felt an earth
quake shoes: about half-past 8 o clock the
preyious evening, but were not belieyed, as
the great majority bad failed to experience
toe snaae. xne lact that Cortland and
other Oregon points report a "quake" at
that time compels the doubting Thomases
to yield the point. Indeed, the proof was
so convincing tnat nine-tenths ot our popu
lation have become convinced that tbey felt
it at tne time.

xue iuiiuiug irom a nasniogton miy
dispatch will be of some interest to old
residents of Tbe Dalles: "Representative
nermann to-day secured a report from
tbe committee on claims for the relief of
-CbauDcey M. Lockwood, of Salem, who
was a 'mail -contractor between Tbe Dal'es
and Silt Lake City.many years ago. The
amount carried in tbe bill is about $10,
000. Senator Mitchell reported tbe same
bill favorably in the senate."
Astoria Town Talk: Tbe two 16.000
pound guns for Fort Canby were brought
"down on a scow towed by the steamer
Puritan, arriving here last evening in
charge of E. H. Freeman, department
quarter master. Quite a large number of
citizens went down to tbe Telephone dock
this morning to take a look at tbe gnns.
At bieb water tbey were started for their
destination. E. W. Wright, tbe con
tractor, will make quite a nice little sum -
off bis contract.
The most remarkable thing accom
plished by tbe eartbquakelet tbe other
evening, happened in a Nob Hill resi
dence in l-Yirtland. Tne family have a
piece of brae a-brae, in the shape of a
grandfather's clock, which stopped short
several years ago, and baa merely been
ornamental ever since, a more modern
ajticle keeping tbe time for - tbe bouse.
Tbe quake stopped the new clock and
started tbe old one, which, refreshed by
its long rest, is ticking away as merrily as
possible, and bids lair to run for anotber
century, it tbe next earthquake aoes not
cause it to change Its mind.
The matter of wool is one of great im
portance in this state. The Oregonian
condences considerable information in
the following paragraph : "The wool trade
of the world is so closely inter-related
that our markets will watch closely the
sale ot jJou.uuu bales oi Australian wool
that will be held this week in London.
it is expected that Americans will buy
more than they did at the sales a year
ago, but there will be brisk competition
from Yorkshire and Continental buyers,
whose stocks are light. The home situa
tion is tersely described in a Boston, tele
gram; which says that a 'steady market
and a steady trade is what the trade may
exDect from now to cup time.' Last week
good Eastern Oregon fetched in Boston V
cents, or about 57 cents per pound clean.
Tbe current for Australian are 32 to 42
cents per pound, according to quality.
Salem Journal: T. T. Geer was in Sa
lem Thursday and brought the news of
t .c death of Wm. Tbos. Patton, a Waldo
.hills farmer, wbo came to Oregon in
1848. and lived and died on bis donation
land claim. He was well-known among
all pioneers, and respected by every one.
He bad not been wen ior six or sevea
jean, and had suffered more than usual
in tbe last ix or seven weeks. He was
tbe father of Mrs. Dr. Golden, of Salem ;
T. B. Patton, ex county assessor,- Macleay;
Frank Patton. cashier Astoria Savings
tank; Mrs. Ed. Downing: Mrs. E. M.
Cljmer, of Fossil ; A. J, E. B. and C. R ,
at borne; and J. Iu, a student of dent-
Mr. O. M. Pringle, living near Prineville,
cave us a pleasant call to-day. He has a
plan ot philosophy ot Ms own, ana aoes not
follow the French school, Hani or ilaeckel,
the German philosophical school, or Dar
win, of the English development theory,
We should have been delighted to bear
him lecture; but he didn't have time, and
was forced to return to his home.
La Grande Gazette: 3. K. Romig will visit
San i rancisco in a few days for tbe purpose
of purchasing machinery to work ore from
the Chloride mine. The stockholders in
this enterprise have already expended i
large amount of money in getting this prop
erty opened, and are willing to spend more,
as they have gratifying prospects for
handsome return on the investment.
The Albany Herald several weeks ago
published the particulars of a man named
J. F. Hill losing his way in going through
the mountains in the snow from Gatesviile
to the Santiam mines, by which he is sup
posed to have perished. A brother of the
unfortunate man left Monday for Gatesviile,
where a large party will be formed to search
until they find his remains or some evidence
of the fate that overtook bim, .
Tbe empire of tbe more precious metals-
is in tbe west. The annual report of Wells,
Fargo & Co. for the year 1891, just received,
giyes the product of the states and terri
tories west ot the Missouna river as follows:
Silver, $60,614,004; gold, $3I,75,Htf4. cop
per, $13,261,663; lead, $12,385 75. Total
output, $118,237,441. Oregon produced
$1,004,000 ot gold and $84,000 of silver.
The spring season is opening and there is
an opposition boat on the middle river. If
our citizens desire to reap the advantage of
our location, they should immediately in
augurate mannfacturing industries, which
would give employment to a large number
of wage-earners. Without such, Tbe Dalles
will. not advance in tbe least, end we shall
suffer the reputation of being the moss-back
town oi Eastern .Oregon as we have iu the
past. .
A terrible accMent acenrred to Charles
Atwood, engineer of the steamer Skadijei, at
Vancouver, Monday. Iu starting the en
gine he slipped, and one arm was caught by
an eccentric and the other by a crack, both
arms breaking and one being torn from tbe
socket. . With wonderful presence of mind
he shut off the stenm, and afterwards dis
played great courage, suffering amputation
without flinching. His parents reside in
Oregon. He is 21 years of age.
We have received a copy of the Wau-
tauga Valley News, published at Elizabeth-
ton, lenn. la its salutatory it savs: 'It
owes its existence to a belief on the part of
its projectors that the people of Eastern
Tennessee, and tbe Wantauga valley in par
ticular, will support a high class enterpris
ing modern journal devoted to the work of
presenting to the world its wonderful latent
resources." We extend our kindest wishes
to the project, and hope it may succeed in
the high ground of journalism it assumes.
Salem Journal: The preparations are go
ing forward for the Grand Army gathering
tnat is to be nela in balem ibursday and
Friday of this week. The committee re
quest a general decoration of business and
public buildiogs on that occasion, and it is
expected that .Salem will show the veterans
of the Union and Mexican armies the same
attention that it is custom try ou such ocfca
sions elsewhere. The statu encampment
should be made the most of to advertise
our public spirit and patriotism.
A pious reverend claimed recently that
hell, pure and unadulterated hell, is located
in Oakesdale, to which the Sun answers:
"Colfax may have her court house. Palouse
City may keep ber saw mills, Pullman is
welcome to ber agricultural college and
Spokane her water power. Many other
towns have the above named industries,
but Oakesdale is alone in her glory. There
are many other court houses, saw mills, ag
ricultural colleges and water powers, but
there is oniy one hell, and if the reverend
gentleman's words be true, Oakesdale has a
'scoop on the entire world. All hail Oakes
dale, the peerless princess of the world !"
Vairhaven Herald: While at Fairhaven
last Wednesday evening Bishop Paddock
stepped from tbe steamer upon the dock
and in tbe darkness walked into the slip
and fell several feet, striking heayily ou tbe
incline bottom. Fortunately he did not
fall into the water. He was picked op in
sensible, stunned by the fail and tbe ner
vous shock. Rev. L. W. Applegate, who
went down to meet him. bad him taken to
Tbe Fairhaven immediately. He did not
come ont of tbe swoon until after being
placed in his room. Dr. Thomas was sum
moned and everything possible done for the
relief of the bishop.
Albany Democrat: Yesterday we save an
account of a sailor boy passing through Al-
Dany on ms way to Walia VVailt. with U.
S. S Baltimore on his cap. We learn some
interesting facts in connection with the in
cident. The voung man was Clyde Dan
nals. - His mother, Mrs. Dannals. a widow.
resides iu Walla Walla, and has been visit
ing her cousins, Mr. James Elkins, near
this city loi several days, and is here now.
Young Dannals left home about four years !
ago and has seen most parts of the world
since, being on the Hear on her trip into
tbe Arctic seas among other voyages.. He
was transferred from tbe Bear to tbe Balti
more.
Mr. Ira Genger - made a draw on
the county treasury last Saturday to
the extent of $10, the present valuation of
a coyote scalp. His dogs succeeded in kill
ing one ot -these animals near bis house on
Deer creek. Two of the doKs struck the
coyote's track, and it evidently bad an
opinion that it could whip its pursuers and
turned to face them, when Mr. Genger
turned two more dogs loose and they made
quick work of bim. Ira baa a good pack of
dogs tor that kind of business. Boecburq
Review. We always considered these pests
confined to Eastern Oregon, siid we are Bur
prised that any animals of this species
should be found in the murky, misty Willamette.
Baker Democrat: A good atory is told on
a prominent divine oftfhis section. He vis
ited itaaer City the other day and during
his stay he conceived the idea that the op
portune time had arrived to raise funds for
his church, in view of che'approacbing cam
paign and tbe aspirants for office being nu
merous. 1 he divine, being better than a
"raw band" in politics himself, he saw a
chance to work his game. He had recently
been to Wallowa and Union connties. He
claimed to be acquainted with the situation
oyer there and in a position to wield an in
fluence with the-state delegation to the Re
publican convention. Preparing a subscrip
tion list he personally called upon tbe con
gressional aspirants, and they are numerous
here, and by a neat reference to political
matters during the course of conversation
an unusual display of liberality resulted on
the part of the persons whom be addressed
and his subscription list was a healthy one
before evening. It would be wrong to say
that each of tbe congressional aspirants
were promised the delegation of each of the
counties, but, then, we know of one or two
who think they are solid.

FInrennn Wfjd- About nine miles UD the
North Fork rivi j e a piece of swamp land
containing abouWKX) acres. Robert Van
derburg owns about 300 acres of this land
and to clace it in fit condition it is neces
sary that it be drained. Between me
swamp and the riyer is a ridge of rock hills
about 300 feet through at the base. . The
only possible means of draining this swamp
is to tunnel through the bill, thus mating a
waterway to the river. With this object
in vew Mr. Vanderburg. together with a
few of his neighbors, have gone to work on
the tunnel and are now in about fifty feet.
It is quite an undertaking tor so few men,
bot should they succeed in getting through
and successfully draining the swamp they
will be well paid for their labor.
East Oreaonian: Will Gibson and Joseph
Ray of Ray creek were out bunting a few
days ago. and ran across a peculiar cave or
recess in tbe mountains. iu crawiea in
to investigate and was startled by a low
growl proceeding from the.dark depths of
the cavern, iietore be could retreat be was
attacked pell-mell by a savage bear, a fe
male cinnamon. The sounds of the conflict
brought Joe to the rescue, and the two, by
dextrous use of their knives, managed to
despatch the beast before either became a
victim of her wild fury, escaping with no
very serious injuries. It was a brave ngnt
and the hunters were rewarded by the cap
ture of two cubs, hardly a week old, which
will be domesticated if possible, and may
some day be seen with a string attached to
the ring, and an Italian at the other end, a
sad fate surely. N. H. Tennery of this
city is said to be negotiating for the put
chase ot tbe cubs.

Silver Mountain Mining company, recently
noted, is for the purpose of working a new
lode, recently discovered by U. s. Andrus
on the land of Michael and Charles McCar
thy in the foot hills east of the city. The
new ore is said to assay well, and although
the vein has not been developed bopes are
entertained that much better ore will be
encountered deeper in the vein.

to his agent, Mr. Robinson, at Olympia, to
let all persons who have liens pending
against bis plant on Puget Sound have
judgment if they will stipulate to settle at
the expiration ot ninety days for cash, tbe
inference is that Mr. Hunt has reason to be
lieve he will bave bis affairs into shape
within that time, and that he wants to keep
his railroad plant together for future works.
Eugene Register: Geo. Craw was at Ya-
quina last week when the steamer Chance
came in there from a trip down the coast.
The crew reported it tbe roughest trip they
had eyer bad. Everything on deck had

at Florence for the government work being
prosecuted there, but after lying oft the

been absent from the city since tbe China
men bad started for Walla Walla; but bis
dream was clear in details that be bad not
the least difficulty in pointing out the place
where the murder was committed. What
Lee told Col. Gates and others that be saw J
while asleep proved to be facta.
After tbe sheriff and posse had buried the
Chinamen, they returned to Tbe Dalles,
and Mr. White arrested one of the packers
near Jacksonville and the other one in that
city. They were brought back, examined
before a magistrate, and held to answer the
crime. After being in the old city jail for
some time tbey managed to escape by cut
ting ott the lock of the door, and were
never recaptured.
Nothing more was heard of them until
1S68, when Mr. Trevitt, happening to be in
Seattle, was walking in the suburbs, and
noticed a man sitting on a wagon tongue ap
parently in the last stage of consumption,
who called him by name. Trevitt did not
recognize tbe man until he told him Ms
name and that he was one ot the two pack
ers who murdered the Chinamen at Spanish
Hollow. He further stated that Lee Wnng
related the facts as correctly as if he had
witnessed the act.aud advised Trevitt neyer
to kill a Chinaman as be had no peace of
mind since he committed the deed. He
died soon afterwards. The other man
caped to California, where he was shot and
left for dead by a posse of men wbo bad fol
lowed him and bis companions in charge cf
a band of stolen horses. He finally recov
ered; but is now a cripple, dependent upon
public charity.
Since writing tbe above I have read it
over to Mr. Chas. White, who was in the
city during the week, and he verifies every
word in relation to this remarkable dream.

From Friday's Daily. '
The ladies of St. Paul's Episcopal church
guild gave a reception last evening to . the
members of the congregational and parish
at the rectory. There was a goodly num
ber present, though some of the familiar
faces of tbe parish were missing, which
was regretted by those in attendance.
Games, music and the social chat caused the
evening to pass very pleasantly and enjoya-
bly. The programme of music consisted of
vocal, and instrumental selections. Vocal
solos by Mrs. Lcchhead and Mr. Stewart,
and piano solos by Miss Brooks affordUd
much pleasure to the listeners; while the
solos and duetts on the harmonica by
Messrs. Stewart and F. Garrettson revealed
to the delighted assembly what charming
music may be produced from a mere toy.
These gentlemen are truly artists, 'and the
ladies owe them many thanks for their kind
assistance. Light refie.-h:i.eut8 were served
during the evening. The hour of departure
came all too quickly wheu all separated, as
suring the committee that tbe evening bad
been pleasantly spent.

The Prineville Stage Boute.
" ' Amtelopb, Feb. 2, 1892.
Editor Tuns-MouHTAnrsiR:
Mr. A. W. Branner, proprietor of the
line, came in to-day on the stage from
Prineville. He reports the roads in a ter
rible condition, and, in places, almost im-
able. The route by way of Antelope
causes fully five hour's delay in the de
livery ot the man at rTinevine, and this
would be remedied if the route was by
way ot Bakeoven and Cow canyon. Mr.
Branner says the road between Bakcoyen
and Antelope is very bad, and from tbe
latter place to Cross Eeys, in places the
mud is about two feet deep and very slip
pery. Petition after petition nave been
presented to the department at Washing
ton city to change tbe service via tbe old
route by Cow canyon, bat these have re
ceived no attention whatever. Mr. Bran
ner has double tbe number of men and
horses employed than everhaye been, and
still it is impossible for him to make reg
ular time. As Prineville is a growing
town, and The Dalles is the nearest rail
road point, the mail service should be by
the shortest and most available road.
Times Mountaineer.
The above explains Itself, now for the
facts : -
Firsts The roads at the time Mr. Bran
ner was out here were muddy, but not as
bad as be says ; the stage time is about
one hour later at Antelope than in good
weather.
Second The road from Antelope to
Cross Eeys is dry almost the entire dis
tance, and never has been two feet deep
in mud.
Third The people at Prineville have
petitioned for the change via the old route.
They have no reasonable grounds for the
change. Antelope is a growing town,
and a great many get their mail there,
and she is entitled to a daily service from
The Dalles and Prineville both. The dif
ference to the contractor and department
is sis miles for whic he is allowed two
hours extra time, which Mr. Branner uses
one hour on the Prineville end and one
hour on The Dalles end, which is not af
fected. Now for the difference in time
should we do without a daily mail from
Prineville for two or three hours time?
Fourth Mr. Branner has one extra
man and one extra team for winter ser
vice, just what other contractors have
used on the old route.
Trusting you will publish this in justice
to the people of Antelope, we are yery
truly yours, W. Bolton,

The Dalles, Feb. 11, 1892.
Editor T1MB8-M0UXTAINKK&:
If I remember correctly in tbe month of
February or March, i860, there were living
in The Dalles two Chinamen, one of whom
by the name of Lee Wong had a wash
house near tbe northwest corner of Court
and Main streets. "About that time there
came from below two Chinamen en route to
Walla Walla, arriving on the steamer
Idaho the only conveyance. Tbe npper
river being blocked with ice they hired two
men who had charge ot a pack train to take
tbem and their goods to their destination.
About a week after they started Lee Wang
called on Col. N. H. Gates and told bim tbe
Chinamen bad been murdered by the two
packers, and he saw the act done while as
leep. He said D. shot one Chinaman and
killed him and the other ran. He was fol
lowed by the other packer and murdered.
Col. Gates thought tbe Chinaman demented,
as be bad not been out of town since the
Celestials started on their trip, and referred
him to Mr. Charles White, wbo was sheriff
at the time. Mr. White paid little
attention to the story of Lee Wung, think-
he had been indulging in opium, and, in
turn, referred bim to Mr. Victor Trevitt.
He listened to Wong's description of the
murder, and told him he had been smoking
too much opium. The matter was dropped
for several days, when the two packers re
turned and reported that they had delivered
the Chinaman and goods safely at their des
tination. They spent money quite freely,
and soon sold their mules and left town. A
few days after their departure Mr. Green
Arnold came to town from near where Pen
dleton is now situated, and said be bad
found a dead Spaniard or Mexican on tbe
otber side of the Deschutes, close to where
the town of Wasco now stands. Sheriff
White tben secured a posse of men, and to
gether with Lee Wung who insisted on
accompanying them started for the place.
On arriving at tbe tpot designated, the re
mains of a dead Chinaman was found, and
Lee Wang gaided tbem to the place where
the other was killed. Wang had never
Eeport of the Grand Jury.
In the circuit court of the state of Ore
gon for Wasco county.
In the matter of the final report of the
grand jury for tho February term, 1892.
We, the grand jury, respectfully report
to the court that we have now been in
session three days and haye found and re
ported one indictment, and haye also in
quired into the condition and manage- I
ment of all offices pertaining to the courts
of justice in the county, and also into tbe
condition and management of all jails
and prisons within the county, and the
county hospital.
We find that the office, books and ac
counts of the county clerk are in excel
lent condition, and are neatly and skill
fully kept and managed.
The same may be said of the sheriff's,
and the county jail is in better condition
and cleaner than it has been heretofore.
The county hospital is in good condi
tion, is clean and well kept, and the three
inmates thereof are well cared for and are
well pleased and apeak highly of their
treatment
The county treasurer's books are well
kept and his accounts are correct and ac
curate.
Having finished our labors we respect
fully ask to be discharged.

Exchange: They needed money badly in
a church at Burns, near Buffalo, so they
held a social, and here is the way tbey
raised the money: Across one end of tbe
room was a curtain. For an hour the guests
chatted after the old-fashioned church social
style. Then the curtain was suddenly
withdrawn. There in row stood six of the
prettiest women in tbe congregation, blush
ing and smiling, each bearing upon ber bo
som a placard on which were tbe words:
"Yon may kiss roe for 25 06018." It was
fifteen minutes berore the device began to
work, but when it did the silver quarters
fairly showered into tbe aprons of the
young ladies' circle. Old and young
eagerly rushed to the front to exchange
coins for kisses. The show lasted only a
short time, when tbe curtain was again
drawn. Then the storm burst. The women
were jealous of their husbands and a dozen
or more family tights were started at once.
Soon it was announced that the women
would pose again in a short time. Then
the angry women tore down the curtains
and blew out the lights. A scrambling for
the door followed, and for over two hours
the church members gossiped and fought on
the sidewalks. Tbey finally di spersed and
a factional church fight is the result.
