A prominent fiah and game merchant of Portland sends in the following complaint against the deer-skin hunters of the sur rounding country: "Notwithstanding all efforts made to pot an end to the practice of killing deer for their skins, it appears that tbe miserable, coo tern ptibie skiu-hunter is atill at his work of destruction in the Cascades. Several Boxes of deer skins have been received here lately, put np in a way to conceal the contents.

Some of the atolen goods were found in a blanket roll, and Mr. Gratz compelled him to come back to town, which the thief was lor a time disinclined to do. He is now ir jail, and presents a horrible sight, his head being a symphou in blue and black as a result of d the punishment given him by Arnold an Youug when he was first overtaken. The Pacific Union Printer, of San Fran cisco, haa this to say of Wells Drury, an old-time printer and journalist and proprie tor of Sacramento Record Union: "Many a story has been told of Drury by the 'tour feta' of the trade; how he built a raft and floated down tbe Willamette river from ao npper town to Salem to save a frieud's cases when storms had knocked out the steamers and stages; how he drove an ox team through tbe streets of Chicago just to show his familiarity with the gad and buck skin; how he put himself on as a 'sub' when times were hard in Victoria, much to the surprise of the British 'regulars,' who had never heard of such a proceeding, and a tbonsand and one other things of that kind.". . Statesman: James Palmer, who killed Eli Risen at La Grande on Sunday, was 'well renown in walla Walla, his parents aud brothers residing here. It will be remem bered that Palmer and bis wife had consid erable domestic trouble here some time ago, at which time Mrs. Palmer attempted to run away with another mao, taking with her the child, but was stopped at tbe depot aad the matter of the custody of tbe child aeiuea in me superior court.

Weather Bulletin, No. IS. for weel ending Tuesday, June SI, 1892: EASTERN OREGON. Weather Tbe drying, though compar- atiyely cool, winds have continued. A few showers have occurred, but the amount ot precipitation was small. Crops The. showers made a slight im provement in tbe condition of tbe spring grain crop; but, as a rule, in Wasco, ShermaD. Gilliam and Morrow counties the wheat prospects are poor. "The prospects are gloomy," write several cor respondents. Fall grain is past saving in these counties; it is estimated that two- thirds of the wheat in these four counties will not make over one-half a crop and the other one-third will not make hay. In Umatilla county, north and east of Pen dleton, tbe crop is in a fair condition, but not an average; to the west of Pendleton it is almost a failure. In Union and Wal Iowa counties tbe crops are better than in any other of the counties, but yet in these two counties it is not an average. In Baker, Malheur and in all counties south of the Blue mountains the grain was more or less injured by frosts and the drying winJs,so that while the hay is an ayerage croy the oats and wheat are poor, ltye is generally a pretty good crop. Sheep shearing is about completed and most of me sneep nave been moved to the sum mer range in the mountains. Fruit is not an average in any of tho counties, except berries, which are very plentiful.

There were six . hoboes and three "drunks" who occupied tbe city jail last night, sad were properly interviewed by tbe recorder this morning. In former years the river was a source of great anxiety at this season of the year; but since tbe grade has been changed there is no fear of any damage from high water.

A Mysterijns Death. The news of a mist brutal crime, com mitted in the vicinity cf Milwaukie, is pub lished in the Portland Teleqram yesterday. We quote from that paper: The quiet little suburb of Milwaukie was greatly agitated last night over the disappearance of little Mamie Walsh, a pretty girl of ' about 13 years, wbo went out late in the afternoon yesterday picking blackberries, but who up to dark had not returned. Search parties were formed, and when the mutilated body was found about daylight tbis morning in a lonely part of the woods,- covered with orusn, rne nooest inhabitants of the town went wild with excitement. The body was lying on its side and bad been pushed into an excavation made by the roots of an up turned tree, and was covered over with broken brush and leaves. It was lying in a yery thick tangle of underbruali. Shortly after the body had been found,. another of the searchers found the lace collar which the girl .had worn tbe day before, hanging on a thorn bush a few feet from the ground and about 100 yards east of where the body lay. Part ot the dead girl's underclothing, with several blood stains' on them, were found about the same' distance bm the body in a directly opposite direction. The girl's bat and pail have not yet been found, and a vigorous search is being made for them, as they will, it is expected, give a clue to the perpetrator of the deed. Eeid and the Union. The New York Tribune ha3 published i statement prepared by the officials of Typo graphical Union No. 0, relative to tho ad justment of the differences between tbe union and tho Tribune, which is pronounced by Mr. Keid to bo accurate. The state ment relates in detail the various steps in tne negotiations for the. settlement, which was begun nearly two years ago while Mr. Reid was minister to France. The corres pondence between Raid and the nnion shows that the former had accepted ail that was practically applicable to the Tribune office, which be held was a linotype rffice, while the organization was one of composi tion; that the trade was absolutely differ ent and a knowledge of composition unnec essary; that he was paying tbe highest wages and would gladly cooperate with the union in maintaining wages or even advanc ing thtiri. Finally when Reid returned to -1. . .... una u-.tuui.ry ic was proposed by tbe nnion that the Tribune employ as foreman ' of its composing room a member of the anion in good standing. To this iTopositiouVMr. Reid readily agreed, choosing as fnrniSi,,. William Brennao, late president of the union, and thereby proving his perfect faith in the organization. This honorable settlement is as satisfactory to the nnion as to Mr. Reid, as was demonstrated by the union sending a committee to represent it at the Minneapolis convention. The action thus taken waa voluntary. Walla Walla Exchange: Reports from the western part of the Palouse country, indi cate tbat the fall wheat has been badly damaged from the effects of a few hot days j succeeding cold rains. The damage seems to be a kind of scald. It is probable that this will reduce the yield 50 per cent, in , the vicinity of Eudicott and Pampa, but around Colfax there is not a particle of damage and the prospects are as good as they were a month ago. The reason why western grain got scorched is explained by the fact that it is so much further advanced there than here and happened at tbe time of hot winds to be just in the right stage to get wilted without strength to revive. The section affected covers about 10.000 acres. Thirty-three and a third cents on the dol lar is a large saying; but that is what Mrs. Phillips promises those buying millinery, as she has decided to close out the entire stock. ie!7dw As a family medicine, the Oregon Blood further has no equal.

The Great Prestige of Royal Baking Powder envied by all competitors. The envy shown by other baking powder man ufacturers of the great prestige of the Royal Baking Powder is not at all surprising. For thirty years the Royal has been the stand ard for purity and strength in baking powders, and has been placed at the head by every board of official examiners whether State or National. The Royal Baking Powder Company controls its own cream of tartar factory and the processes for making the only absolutely pure cream of tartar ; it sends its product to millions of homes all over the world, supplies the Army and Navy, the great transatlantic steamers, the finest hotels and res taurants, and is recomt iended by the besf'chris and authorities on cuisine in every land. Its saie is larger than that of all other cream of tartar baking powders combined; it has more friends among housekeepers than any other similar article. These facts are bitterness to the makers of the inferior baking powders; hence their advertise ments, filled with malice, envy and 'falsehood, against the Royal.

Instantly the fire whistle sounded and in jUBt twenty-seven seennds a line of hose was laid and a stream of water from the big pnmps . was rushing through it, with the nozzle at the door of the ward whence came the alarm.
