Pendleton B. O: Frank Landry received
Sunday a draft tor $850 drawn upon the
treasury of the United States. This is in
payment of the loss sustained by Mr. Lan
dry in tbe destruction of his house and
other property on Bear creek during the
war of 1878. He was allowed $940, but 590
went to his attorney. G. D. Richardson
also received payment of his claim, about
$200.
Tbe telegram of thanks sent to Hon. Bin.
ger Hermann on the passage of the bill ex
tending the time for the payment on rail
road lands, was originally worded "To the
Uregon Delegation, but was changed before
it came to the operator. Senator Dolpb
originated the bill, and it was
through his efforts, aided by senator
Mitchell, that it passed the senate.

crowded into a column article.
Near Dayton, Wash., Saturday, a lad

approached the log and took tbe fnse out
to examine it, when it exploded and a frag
snent three inches long entered his leg above
ha knee, shattering the bone so badly that
at was necessary to amputate tbe leg.
Not all bad roads are in Oregon, a fact
appreciated by the following: Many per
sons who regard themselves as well in
formed on most public questions will be
surprised to be teld, for example, that in
the state of Illinois alone, it bas been
estimated that the loss sustained by farm-j-rs
and owners of bones and wagons gener
ally from bad roads, is placed at $16,000,-OOO-a
year. Throughout the whole country
it is thought that tbe loss from this source,
at tew very lowest figure, cannot be less
than $200,000,000 a year.
Albany Democrat: Snnday morning,
January 22, 1893, Mrs. Miller Morgan,
died at her home near Sbedd, of heart
disease, at the age of about 65. Mrs.
Morgan came to Linn county with her
husband, Mr. Miller Morgan, who sur--yives
her, from Burlington, Iowa, in 1847,
and has since resided in this- county,
where she was well and favorably known
by many as an estimable woman and
good mother and wife. Besides a hus

We received to-day from Mr. D. V. Her
nn, photographer, some magnificent views
of scenery on the Columbia river, among
which are photographs of Multnomah falls,
tbe government works at Cascade Lock,
and Memaleuse island, near Seufert Bros,
fishery. .' These are taken in the highest
style of the art, and present tbe scenery in
this vicinity in its best and most delightful
condition. To persons intending to come
west snch views would be very attractive.
Col. Paul d'He ny, the unfortunate bus
band of the runaway wife from Seattle with
a muric teauher by the name of Morse, was
for a time a resident of The Dalles and
editor of the Mountaineer, soon after the
demise of Mr. Win. M. Hand, its former
publisher. He is a polished gentleman and
an able writer, and his many friends in the
northwest wiil sympathize with him in his
misfortune which will leave a never-healing
wound. The sanctity ot his household hai
been desecrated, and the mother of his child
disgraced.
- In considering the utility of the laws re
garding the workings of the justice courts,
it has been suggested that one important
item should be remedied. These laws
should be so omended that justices of Ilia
peace cannot issue warrants for arrest with
out an order from the district attorney, ex
cept the complaining witness be first re
quired to file bonds for costs. This woold
result in the saving of hundreds of dollars
to the several counties in cases where tbe
cause for complaint is not sufficient to
satisfy the prosecuting officer.
Tbe New York Sun says: "As a telling
testimonial of the durability of its woods
and an advertisement of its lumbering in
dustries Oregon will send to the world's fair
a number of shingles' that have been doing
service on a roof for oyer 25 years. Tbey
are of cedar, and were laid with five inches
exposed to tbe weather. Alt that Oregon
weather bas done is to wear down the sur
face about an eight ot an inch; the re
mainder ot the wood is sound and tar harder
than it was the day the shingles were laid."
- There bas been skating nearly contin
uously for tbe past two or three weeks, and
not a single acsident bas been chronicled;
bnt Colfax has not been so far fortunate, as
tbe following from an exchange will show:
"At Colfax while skating with a party of
young folks on the ice of the South Palouse
river, Monday evening, Thomas Ripley met
with a distressing accident. He was glid
ing over the slippery floor, in compsoy with
a lady partner, when the twain struck an
obstacle in tbe shape of a piece of wood
frozen into the ice. Ripley fell backward
in bis successful effort to save the girl, aud
in the fall he broke the small bone of bis
right leg just above the ankle.".
Wasco Sun: The Gods help those who
help themselves, don't it, exclaims our
friend the Chronicle, with mnch gusto, on
last Saturday, and after reading its promised
"comments" on an open river and the Raley
bill in the same issue, we heartily agree
that "it do." The same "comments" were
polished, vigorous and instructive, but
somehow after reading them we were im
pressed with the idea, that they werj
strangely familiar. We have read the same
in the East Oregonian several days before.

Rev. Ed. Baker, of Dufur, held revival
services last week at Pleasant Ridge, a few
miles south of this city. Tbe meetings
were very well attended and were produc
tive of an nnnsual amount ot interest, 18
being converted of which number 14 united
with the Methodist church. Every person
on the ridge belongs to some church except
one man.
The usual serenity of last night was dis
turbed by an attempt to burglarize Mays &

Gibona arrested tbe culprit in tbe building,
and on his person was found two chisels,
with which, it is very evident, be effected
an entrance. He was locked up in tbe city
jail and had bis examination before the re
corder this morning.
About two inches of snow fell last night
and to day, and this will increase tbe yield
of grain in this county. The people feel
thankful tbat there is one blessing in East
ern Oregon that is not dependent on tbe
senate at Salem, and that is the amount of
snow in winter to insure crops in summer.
If it were, tbe "sterile, bunch grass plains"
of the Inland Emp re would always remain
barren and unproductive.
The people of Eastern Oregon, who are
interested in an open river, should present
facta and figures in relation to freight rates
now charged for the consideration of tbe
legislature now that the senate has recon
sidered the vote by which the Raley port
age bill was defeated. If the senate will
not grant us relief tbey should act with a
full knowledge of the urgent necessity that
exists.
Antorian: Rey. John W. Ellis, the de
posed Presbyterian minister at Chico, has
'sued the congregation for $4,946 39. He
claims that amount under a contract by
which he was to receive three thousand dol

that he has fully performed the contract
and has discharged all tho dnties devolving
on him there meter, except so tar as be baa
been prevented by the defendant. .
We learn that the students of the Dufur
school have determined to purchase soma

music, games, plays and other exercises to
instruct and amuse will constitute the pro

The state council of the Catholio Knights
of America was held in this city yesterday.
Archbishop Gross, of Portland, is the state
spiritual director of tbe council, and he was
present at tbe deliberations. Xbere were
delegates present from all i ortions of Ore-
g d, and the meetings were held at the res
idence ot rather frongeest. Tee order
shows a steady growth during the past year,
and several new members have been added.
This was the annual convocation.
A log chute at ' Spool creek, Klamath
county, is a mile long. The logs traverse
that distance in abont 15 seconds, and the
eye can scarcely follow tbem. Three cars
are now running to the chute, and 300 logs
per dsy are shot into tbe river. Twenty
men are driving 1,700,000 feet of logs down
the Klamath from tbe foot of tbe log grade.
They have moved them a distance of four
miles by doing some blasting, and it now
looks as though the log driving venture on
the Klamath will be a perfect success.
Last night a Swede by the name of
George Wicklund was drowned at the
mouth of Bear creek, says the Astoria Ex
aminer. He was engaged towing some logs
with a skiff to his home when the boat cap
sized and threw him into the river. The
body did not rise to tbe surface, hut was
washed ashore sbout an hour after the acci
dent, i . Wicklund was en-ployed at the
farming business, and was married. He
leaves a wife and two children to mourn his
loss. The funeral took place at Knappa to
day. . The stockyards bave been qmte busy dur
ing the week, and the employes have bad
little idle time. Last night there were two
carloads of hogs shipped to the Portland
market, and four of cattle tbe night before.
There are now four carloads of cattle ready
for shipment this evening. Mr. Saltmarsbe's
facilities for handling livestock are not
equalled anywhere in the northwest, and
this is the reason that the stockyards, at all
seasons of the year, display an activity not
witnessed at any other point in the north
west. , ' -
The Eugene Register says that on Wednes
day, Mr. J. P. Chester, distributed among
his eleven children in equal parts, $11,000
in money and real estate, mostly the latter.
The gift is really worth considerable more
thin $1,000 to each, as the real estate has
been put in at a'-out 50 per cent of its
value. He has not robbed himself, but bas
enough to keep himself and wife in com
fortable circumstances during the remain
der of their days. The children are all
grown and the money will be a great help
to them.

East Oreffonlaa.
Conductor Fred Seeley was in Pendleton
Tuesday evening on bis return from Grant's
Pass. His brother. Edward, was not so
dangerously wounded as at first supposed,
and will recover.
Ed, however, had his anatomy pretty
badlv riddled. Tbe wound tbat it was
feared might prove fatal was in tbe abdo
men. It transpired, however, tbat tbe bul
let struck no vital part. It emerged just
above tbe bip. He was shot also three
times in the arm. The elbow cap was shot
... .. ,
away, and bis arm and tore-arm puncturea
Another bullet struck the left leg, and an
other tbe left shoulder blade. So it will be
seen that Ed's escape from some mortal
jury was exceedingly fortunate.
The trouble happened oyer a dispute
about mining property. Frank, Fred and
Edward Seeley and James Moore own a
valuable claim twelve miles tiom Grant's
Pass. It was unlawfully jumped by a
father and two sons named Stover. The
latter were perturbed when Ed came down
to take possession of the claim, and tronble
nearly occurred the day before the shoot
ing, over attempts of tbe Stovers to carry
away ore.
On the morning of the attack Ed Seeley,
Wm Thompson and another man were in
the cabin at the claim. Old man Stover
visited them, but was Been to bave a pistol
in his overcoat pocket and was warned not
to approach. Ed had gone out to meet him,
and as they were talking the Stover broth
era, who were in ambush near, opened fire
on him and continued their gun practice
until they ran out of ammunition. Ed tell
at the first fire, and Thompson, who went
out to succor him. received a bullet in tbe
thigh. The other man with him made his
escape. He ran like a deer, ana alter going
five miles, borrowed a horse to ride to
Grant's Passs, where lie gave tbe alarm.
The wounded men were four or five hours
in the cabin before relief came. Tbe Sto
vers were placed under arrest. They freely
admitted their intention to kill the parties
in the cabin, and the feeling is high against
them.
fo ri h
Fhe "Royal
Pun
the
est
Strongest and
Baking Powder.
Whether any other baking powder iz equal to
"Royal," let the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent, greater strength than any other brand.
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for 50 cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth over
cents.
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by 'he grocer in place of the Royai, see that you
iiarged tne correspondingly lower price.

. Should be Eemedied. -We
have received tbe first biennial report
of tbe state board of charities and correc
tions for the partial biennial period ending
Dec. 31, 1892. This is very complete in all
details of the work done by this board,
with illustrations of different jails in the
state. ' We have not had time to carefully
peruse tbe contents, but from', a cuisory
glance should judge tbat there nre bar
barities imposed upon criminals in this state
for which the humanity of the people
hould demand a remedy. The modern
idea of imprisonment is reformatory, and it
is not necessary, in any instance, to place
the conditions surrounding the criminal so
that thev would undermine his health and
make him a charge on the county or etate.
In publishing the state of affairs in tbe
disease-breeding prisons in Oregon the state
board has done a good work, and, while
every American citizen shudders at the hor
rors of Siberia, tbey should not quietly al
low jails in almost every town which would
cause a Russian official or a Turkish satrap
to blush with shame. Crime should be
punished, but the punishment should not be
of such a nature that would undermine the
physical health of the person and send him
prematurely to tbe grave.
rolled down upon him. His injuries were
not considered of a serious character at first.
as no bones were broken and be did not ap
pear to be particularly distressed, but later
developments showed that he had received
serious internal injuries. His wife and
child, who have been living at Baker City,
came down Friday evening and were thus
permitted to be with him but a few hours
before bis deatb. The deceased was a com-
parative stranger in this section, having ar
rived from Baker City about six weeks ago,
and immediately upon his arrival secured a

Logical Answer. ,
The brilliant college elocutionist, CoL T,
W. Higginson, who is disseminating free
trade doctrines before the college clubs of
New England and the Middle states, under
the employment of the Democracy, in a re
cent speech at Cambridge, Mass., said, that
it seemed a bard thing to believe a half cen
tury ago that a man could be worth a mil
lion dollars. He called for sympathy for
the hard-day worker of that day, sud for
the poor cotton-spinner and weaver of this
day. A cotton-spinner present pertinently
said: "I, too, can remember when million
aires were scarce in this country. At tbat
time I followed a pair of mules thirteen
hours a day for $5 per week; now I can
earn, spinning on fine work, $20 per week
of 5& hours." ' Did free trade do it? '

The First to FaiL -The
first bill that has failed to pass the
senate Was Senator Blackmsn's, which came
np yesterday. It called for an appropria
tion of $5,000 for the construction of a pub
lic bridge across the north fork of the John
Day river on the Heppner-Canypn City
road. Tbe object was a good one, and many
of the senators recognizsd it, bat the reason
it tailed to pans was that it was considered
unconstitutional, according to a decision
rendered by the supreme court of this state
the die of Maxwell vs. Tillamook
county, in which it was held that the legis
lature could not legally appropriate money
for such purposes. The action of the senate
yesterday will kill a large number of such
bills. Senator Maxwell, for one, had a bill
prepared to appropriate $21,000 for a public
wagon road from the west line of the Grind
Ronde Indian reservation down Slab creek
and along tbe ooast over Cape Lookout to
the south boundary of Clatsop county.
'passing through Tillamook and Bay City,
but no effort will be made to introduce it
now, although its object was a good. one.
, A New Prooess.
A new process of putting up ice is the
latest Garfield county industry we have
heard of. Five-gallon cans are filled with
water and allowed to stand until ice has
formed at the sides and ends of sufficient
thickness to hold the water. The can is
then warmed by a fire until the contents
can be detached without breaking the ice,
when it is carefully remoyed and laid out
in the open air where it soon freezes into
a solid block. Ice will form in this man
ner at a much higher temperature than
on ponds where the body of. water is
much larger, and it is said that one man
may, with tbe use of fifty cans, put up
from 2000 to 2500 pounds each day. Mrs.
Mary Kuhl, it is said, is putting up ice in
this way at reasonable cost. One great
advantage in this method, which should
commend It to all ice consumers, is pure
water can be used and the article will al
ways be of the very best quality. -
In 1885 C. R. Carter and Thos. W. Kel-
ton murdered a man near ML Vernon.
Mo., by beating his brains out with
stones. Shey were found guilty of mur
der in the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged on July 1, 1887. .lust before the
day for hanging Carter escaped, shooting
the jailer, Chas. Warren, but not fatally.
Over five years passed without any reli
able clue to him until several days ago he
was recognized and arrested at Mt. Tabor,
Portland's suburb, by Marshal Minto, of
Salem, and Detective Simmons, of Port
land. Carter bas been living at Mt, Ta
bor under the name of Rose, and owns
property there. Sheriff Wilson and Chas.
Warren, the jailer who was shot, have ar
rived and will take Carter back to be
hanged. The men capturing him will
receive $400 reward.
How to Tell Good Horse. .
A man who has a true appreciation of tbe
noble animal give the following rules by
which to tell a good horse; "Unless a horse
has brains be is not teachable. A horse that
has breadth and fnlluess between the ears
and eye, will not act mean or hurt anyone.
The eye should be full and a hazel color, tbe
ears small and thin and point forward, the
face straight with fquare muzzle and large
nostrils. The under side of tne head should
be well cut uuder the jaw with jaw-bone
broad, and wide apart under tbe throttle.
The- back short and straight and square
rump, high withers, shoulder well set bask,
and broad but not deep into tbe chest, fore
feet short, hind legs pretty atiaight, fet
locks low down, pastern-joint abort with a
round mulish foot.' ' There are all kinds of
horses, but the animal that has all these
points is almost sure to be sightly, graceful,
good natured and serviceable."

The doors of the U. S. Banking Co's
bans at Gervais were closed to busi
ness Monday. There are three banks,
one at Gervais, another at Junction City,
and still another at Sheridan, and the sec
ond suspended as soon as the funds were
exhausted. So far no run bas been made
on the Sheridan branch. There are be
tween $10,000 and $12,000 on deposit in
the Gervais bank, unpaid, in amounts
ranging from $1500 down to small sums.
Most of the merchants drew out Satur
day, and hence the farmers are the prin
cipal losers. No one knows the reason of
the rumor,but it prevailed Saturday and a
run was made. Yesterday afternoon all
the bank's property in Gervais was at
tached by the sheriff, amounting to $2500,
ana mere was only $ 3 lonna in tne vault.
RICHARDS HA WORTH- In this city. January
24th, by Rev. John Whisler, Hiss Edith A. Rich
ards to Mr. J. F. Hawortb.
Anecdote of Daniel Webster.
Webster had a habit, while speaking,
of putting on old-fashioned spectacles,
whose arms rested over the ears. After
reading' tbe passage desired, he need to
raise the spectacles from his nose and
shove them np over bis forehead until
they rested on his bead. One day a
waggish member sitting in the next seat
to Mr. Webster shoved bis own spectacles
in front of Webster, who bad already one
pair on bis bead. Bending to pick up
some book, be picked op the new spect
acles at tbe same time and adjusted them
to read. Then up tbe second pair went
to join company with tbe first pair above
tne massive lorebead. Tbe wag, grin
ning over the success ot his trick, bor
rowed another pair of spectacles and
placed them before tbe great orator, who
wa3 too much excited to notice. In due
time be had occasion to read again, and
seized tbe spectacles before bim. As a
matter of course, the third pair shared
tbe fate of tbe two preceding, and Web
ster was astonished to find everybody's
tace wearing a broad smile, and es
pecially the face of Mr. Haynes, of South
Carolina, whose arguments he was an
swering in his best style'
"Tbe gentleman may smile and smile,"
Mr. Webster roared out, suddenly inter
rupting tbe course of, his argument,
shaking bis bead angrily, and pointing a
finger at Mr. Haynes, "but be only makes
of himself a spectacle for the derision of
bis countryman."
At tbe same moment tbe three pairs ot
spectacles ttii upon the orater's desk and
there was a general roar of merriment.

urer, says the 'StJem Statesman, which was
introduced simultaneously by Senator
Blaekman, of Morrow, and Representative
KiDg, of Malbenr, is now in tbe hands of

Tbe goyernor favors the plan of distributing
tbe money according to the area ot tbe coun
ties, and Senator Blaekman, in answer to
the assertion that the Eastern Oregon conn,
ties would secure the largest share of the
funds, said the middle and western" portions
of the state had been remembered at various
times, by way of appropriations for schools,
wagon rosds, etc.
