Ellensbureli Localizer: The mountains in the regions of the Swauk and Peslias- , tin are full of prospectors, important discoveries nave been made during the last two years, and more and better it is expected will be found this season. 'The fiwauk and Pcshastin placers were thought to have been worked out years ago. $ut Black as rike have been mak ing big pay for the past seven or eight years and still nave prospects ahead They show their interest in the Swauk by remaining there to prosecute their work, further. New discoveries of quartz are . being made yearly, all of which give these mines renewed interest. W. W. Journal Fred Smith, an employe of Telephone Company, has been very .unfortunate. About six weeks ago he fell from a tree, breaking his right leg, but bad about recovered from the injury. Sunday, in company with a number of other boys, he went out to the state line near Milton to witness a ball game. When returning the horses became frightened by a trace becoming, detached and started to run. - The boys began to pile out of the hack and all escaped injury except young Smith who struck tbe ground in such a manner as to break his weak limb in ex actly the same place as before. The team was captured, and carefully placing the ' boy in tbe hack his companions brought him to town. . Localizer: There is a steady demand for Washington wool in the eastern states. How much better it would be for the country it the wool could be manufac tured here, instead of shipping it east and when manufactured shipping west such thincs as blankets, flannels and coarse loths. The eastern people recognize the fact that the wool of this state is a staple article and are glad to purchase it, but it is a great waste of money to continue such a policy. Establish woolen mills, at home, we say. Albany Eerald: Yesterday afternoon George Hughes, Sr., was found by one of the workmen in tbe Sugar Pine Door and Lumber Co.'s factory Ijmg in an un eoascious condition on tbe bank of tbe Willamette back of tbe sawmill with bis feet a the water. Assistance was quick ly called and Mr. Hughes, who still re mained in a stupoj, was taken home and medical aid summoned. He was fishing and it is thought was attacked with a stroke o( paralysis.

Two Indian prisoners spent last night in tibe county jail. They were en route to Fc. ,'Simcoe, -where tbey had made themselves notorious by appropriating horses not be longing to them. They were arrested at Warm Springs, and brought to the city in charge of two Indian policemen. To make their arrest certain and secure the police men had them handcuffed and thcr limbs manacled. Tbe amount of iron they car ried around was something wonderful; but they bore their punishment stoically, and never made any complaints regarding the condition in which tbey were placed Mr. F. M. Salver, of Durante, Colorado, a graduated engineer of Michigan nniver sity at Ann Arbor, is in the city for the Durrjose of making this a permanent loca tion. The Rrnnblican nominations state, dis trict and county are btc&niing more popu lar everv dav. and in June it may be ex nected that the uartv will be victorious all along the line. '. Some facetious individual placed a notice on the recorder s othce to-aay wun me words. "New Potatoes." As soon as Mr. Menefee was aware of the fact he removed it. The recorder is good-natured and the joke created no bad feelings. Patrick ' Doyle, who murdered Mike Walsh at Rocky Point, Mont , a few years ago, and whose record as a tonga on ma Unner Missouri for the Dast ten years was well known, was killed by his son nine years old last Saturday, at his ranch on the Big Muday. The cause is unknown Mrs. Francis Jackson, a pioneer of 1852, died at her home in Hillaboro, March 27th, d 48. She was a daughter of Mr. and Louis Rey, and arrived in Oregon with her Daren ta when only 8 year old. She leaves five children, one of whom, Mrs. O. G.

The ntw ballot system makes a big ex peose in the way cf notifviug judges and clerks of election of their appointment. Un der the old law the clerk would write to them, but now the Bheriff is obliged to serve them in person. He is paid by mileage, and in a county Use Lime, says the ivjgene Register, this is a big item. The disappearance of Mrs. M. Bohen from Grant, several days ago, is a great mystery, and the community is intensely excited over the matter. : We are informed that two weeks ago she left her home and was seen later in the day jusf east of the high bridge between Grant and Biggs. This is tbe last intelligence that has been re ceived of ber whereabouts, and some peo ple believe that, in a fit of temporary msan ity, she jumped from tiie high bridge east ot iiiggs into the river and was drowned. She had some trouble with her hnsband, and, as we learn from parties who live at Grant, the home life of either was not pleasant or agreeable. Exchange: An Indian grave on McKay creek was robbed one night last week by unknown parties. The discoyery was made by Indians, who found a grave opened nch had been occupied by, the remains of a thirteen-year-old girl ana a ten-year-old boy, interred two years ago. Scattered on the ground were seen some of the beads which had ornamented the girl's dress and a moccasin containing two of her toes; also a chunk of cotton brought for some purpose by the visitors. Loosened earth had been thrown back into the grave, concealing its depths, and the -Indians did not know whether either or both bodies had been taken, bethg too superstitious to dig down and investigate. The tracks of a light ve hicle were seen, leading in the direction of Pendleton. Perphaps some enterprising for the old gentleman that medical skill conld think, but Mr. Crow is in a very pre. carious condition, with little hopes of re covery. Albany Herald: The eld lawsuit between the J. H. Foster & Co. creditors on one side and William and John A. Crawford on the other side, which has been iu the United States court for so long, has been finally de cided.

Baker Blade: The owners of the White Swan mine met and converted the mine in to an incorporated stock company consist ing of 200,000 shares at $5 each, for $1,- 000.000. Incorporators are Wm. Mulkey, S. B. Baislev and Mr. Tarbucks. This means something great for Baker county, for with the capital derived from the selliog of the shares the company cab do extensive work in developing this valuable property, and it can be confidently expected by the people of this section that in the elapse of a year this will become one of the greatest mines in the northwest. Asotin Sentinel- The following novel plan of riddiDg farms of squirrels is being tried in Asotin county. Several rows are plowed in the held nearest to wnere tne equirreis are the thickest, and at a distance of about every thirty feet holes to a depth of twenty inches are sunk, with a post hole digger, The squirrels take possession of these fur rows as a play ground and while running after 'one another will tumble into these holes from which thev cannot again emerge, but die. Several farmers, who have .tried it, say it works admirably. The soil is in first class condition being unusually moist. Spring seeding is nearly completed. Tne acreage of spring grain si the largest on record. There has been a marked increase in acreage in Grant county owing to two flour roller mills being erected. All the reports indicate the wheat prospects to be better than ever before. Stock is in excellent condition and tbe range furnishes good feed.

Editor Tuiks-Mouktaiskkk: Up to date I have received very cratify- ing reports from the following districts, as to the observance of Arbor Day. I hope that by another year many others will fall' iu line, and that soon every school district in the county will spend this half-holidav in beautifying their grounds. I would gladly send you the programmes from each, but know you have not room for them. District No. 3 at Hood River, C. L. Gil bert and Mrs. Sadie Aunks teachers, had a fine programme arranged, and quite crowd of the prominent citizens assem bled to witness its successful execution. This consisted in select readings, songs, concert recitations, etc. A vote on the state flower resulted in the selection of the Mt. Hood lily. Director N. C. Evaua presented for planting a beautiful ailantus tree. J. H. Cradlebaugh dedicated it to Bret Harte. and it was planted with ap propriate ceremonies by the pupils. The exercises lasted two hours and made a very pieasant and profitable half-holday. Mr. L. P. Dorais, of Tygh Valley, dis trict No. 40, writes: "We cannot boast of having performed all the exercises with great pomp and solemnity, still we man aged to plant twenty-one trees, do a con siderable work in our school yard, and make a general clean-up the whole with he good will and enthusiasm of every body. District No. 41, Miss Anna M. Roberts teacher, rendere'd a nice programme and planted a poplar tree which they dedi cated to H. W. Longfellow. As there is no fence around the yard, the boys fenced the tree with old boards found around the house. The children enjoyed it very much and "Arbor Day was a 'success in No. 41." Miss Ida M. Lister, teacher in district 47, reports a nice long programme. "The children all brought plants of some description and we set them out at noon; Alter we had planted our class tree, Mr, Kelly gave each of the scholars a tree lo p'aut, and the directors trimmed the trees already planted. We had nineteen visit ors." District No. 23, Joho A Hay lock teach er, had a good time, aid itseii justice in their programme, and planted six trees lilacs, poplars and locusts. District No. 30, Miss Kate Cronin teacher, planted seventeen trees, and one of the. patrons sent posts enough to en close the yard. District No. 35, Miss Margaret Daly teacher, I quote from her report: "On the receipt ot your letter 1 called upon the directors aDd parents, when convenient to do so, and told them that we were anxiods to make the first observance of Arbor Day iu tbe district a success, and desired their co-operation inthe work. The mariner in which they responded in the way of furnishing trees, preparing the grounds and assisting in planting trees was most gratifying. The children, too, were delighted with the work, and even the smallest pupils had the honor of planting at least one tree. If our work is a success, the next time you visit school district No. 35, you' will fiud quite a change irom the barren aspect the grounds piesented on the occasion of your last visit."

Land Jumping About to Begin. Si'Okank, Wash April 21. A Review special Irom Col ville, Wash., says: Last night a large delegation of tbe best citi zens of ' Stevens county enlisted their energies in the proposition to open tbe Colville Indian reservation. For tbis purpose a very large, enthusiastic meet ing was held af Kettle Falls. A ducus Bion of tbe history of the reservation and tbe facts that established it as such were bandied by all tbe legal talent of the county, and from conclusions drawn by them tbe impression was left that iu reality tbe reservation bad been acquired by whites in due course of conquest, that tbe Indians were simply tenants by suf ferance, and tbe lestoration of tbe land to the'public domain was simply a matter to be determined by voluntary appropri ation. The idea hs electrified tbe popu lace of Stevens county. Everybody that has a claim to a portion of tbe public do main, is bent on getting on tbe reserva tion at all hazards. Miners are out fitting singly and in groups, bound for tbe west side of tho river, and those who have had rich prospects covered up for years, waiting tor tbe government to open the reserve, are losing no time .getting there. It is estimated that there will be 2000 people from tbe adjoining country on the reservation in less than ten days for the purpose of taking possession of the mineral and coal deposits alone that are known to exist. The . reservation comprises nearly 3,000,000 aores of land, much of which is available for agricul ture. Timber is plentiful, and it is a veritable paradise. The' people are heartily tired of tbe dilly-dallying meth ods which seem to be pursued by con gress in having fictitious Indian titles settled by tbe general government. Venenielan Revolutionists Slake a Serions Blander. New York, April 22. A special cable dispatch to tbe Herald from Laguayara. Venezuela, says that tbe revolutionists grow ia strength, daily, and are only a few leagues distant from Caracas. When they are ready for an advance upon tbe capitol forced marches will soon land tbem in its outskirts. A serious blunder has been made by tbe authorities at Puerto Cabello. The French steamer Canada, bound Irom Laguayara to Colon, entered the roadstead at Puerto Cabello tbe night of April 15. She had just dropped anchor when tbe harbor fort opened fire upon her. Fourteen shots in ail were fired, three of which struck the vessel. For a time there was a panic among the passengers and crew on board tbe steamer. Then the captain hurried ashore and lodged a complaint with the French consul general. Tbe codsuI promptly entered a protest against tbe outrage. He was met with tbe most ab ject apology. It was all a mistake, be was told, lbe officers at the port sup posed the vessel carried the rebels and had - fired upon ber under that impres sion. The Canada was not seriously in jured, nor was anyone hurt. feople Are Panle-Strlcken. Dixon, Cal., April 21. At 9:40 A. a severe shock reached us, completing toe wreck which was before threatened. Ooly two or three brick buildings in town ate safe. Tbe occupants of brick build ings, who remained after tbe first shock, are moving out. Ko one was injured, but there were many narrow escapes. The people are panic-stricken, and it is believed the ruin of tbe town will be completed before tbe shocks cease.

Tbe members of tbe Penipt Social club have not been behinnd the times in the way of entertainment for the past few months, but every member baa seemed to vie with the other in making the meetings enjoyable. Mr. and Mrs. Hostettler and Mr. L. Ains wortn added greatly to their pleasure last evening by the cordial way in whicb they entertained tbe club, and while all seemed more than pleased the pleasure of the even ing will be firmjy fastened on the memory of at least four of its members by silver bangle scarf pins, which were presented by Mr. Ainsworth as head and booby prizes. They were very unique, having tbe name of the club and date engraved on one side and on the other side of the head prizes a game rooster with its head in the air crowing with all its might, while tbe booby differed by bearing a tipical Democratic fowl, look ing thoroughly sea sick and as if its f'tricks'' bad ail been in vain. Miss Ursula Rcch and Mr. 'Griff WiUiaros proudly car ried away the Republican rooster, while, although they acknowledged it was "tough", Miss Winnifred Mason and Mr. Ed. Wil liams were not loth to carry away tbe Dem ocratic fowl so long as the "free coinage of adver" was a part of tbe consideration. Portland Oregonian: J. C.
