Long Creek Eagle: Indian Joe and his
cultus outfit are again in Grant county,
presumably to collect wool from the
range. It would be well for our sheep
men to keep an eye open, for while tbey
intend to pick wool from dead sheep, the
sheep will not all be those that have died
from the effects of the cold, oisagreeable
weather of the past winter. Grant county
sent several Indians to the "pen" last year
lor killing sheep, and the Eagle predicts
the same this year it Indian Joe and hie
outfit are allowed the liberty they desire.
This is nrfht to the point from tbe col

good cigars, if not a better one, than tbe
imported domestio. Now la the time to
think of these things and lay fastidiousness
aside. It has been estimated that Tbe
Dalles consumes annually $350,000 worth
of goods that could be made at borne equal

In speaking of the greed of Salem in re

Herald says: "The results of this injunc
tion if sustained, not only to pat a quietus
on the Soldiers' Home, bnt also on the
branch insane asylum in Eastern Oregon,
and also to remove the state university,
agricultural college and the normal schools
to Salem. Possibly in tbe near future tne
constitution, with the aid of Salem's selfish

Astoria custom houses, the tbr- e land
Offices, Mount Hood, the falls of tbe Will

Several bales of wool were received at
Moody's warehouse yesterday and this
morning. It is of exceptionably good fibre
by reason of the favorable winter. No

as competition among buyers begin.
In some favoied localities sheep shearing
baa begun in good earnest; bat ia others
the weather is so cold that it has not fairly
commenced. Some reports the wool ia ex

about the same as usual. The greatest
anxiety is felt at present regarding the price
at wtiicn the maraet will open.
Wm. Ash, the old man who forged checks
on some banks in Eastern Oregon, pleaded
guilty to tbe crime at Prineville at the re

in the commission of the crime.

This is the way an exchange puts it, and
he is about right: Some men swear and pay

clear receipt than be who prays loudly and
never puts up unless forced to by the strong

Mr. Rufus A. Moore died at Moro last
Sunday night, after an illness of several
months. He was aged 71 years and born in
Vermont. In 1881 he settled in what is

since. He leaves four sons to lament his
death, Messrs. W. H. and H. A. Moore,

American Investment: Hop-growing has

of Washington. It is said there is no part
of the world where the crop is greater than

are grown in Washington, California and
Ortgon, and of the three states, which
marketed 80,000 bales.or 10. 000,000 pounds.

This amount represented the product of at
least $3,000,000. Tbe acreage increases so

chiefs cay they want $100 a head at this
time or nothing. As the government owes
them $250 a bead it would seem that the
request of tbe chiefs is quite reasonable, it
tbe Indian commissioner does not grant the
chiefs' petition, the Indians will be induced
to think that the G eat Father is "hard np"

Weather Continued cold weather, saye
the 6th when it was warm and pleasant.
The rains have been frequent, and on the
night of the ?th yery.heayy rain fell,
rinow fell in the interior counties, espe
cially Grant, on the 3d and 5th. Sleighs
are yet usei over the mountains from
McEwen, Baker county.
Crops The soil is thoroughly soaked
and is too wet for plowing. Considerable
seeding is yet to be done, especially east
and south of the Blue mountains. In the
Columbia river valley by another week
most of the seeding will be done Wire
worms are doing damage to the wheal in
parts of Sherman county; in parts of
Morrow couuty the ground squirrel is
very destructive. The wheat acreage is
being increased, especially in Morrow,
Gilliam and i,ake counties. Fruil trees
are generally in full bloom and leaf
throughout the Columbia river valley,
while in the interior the buds are swell
ing and are almost ready to burst forth.
Peaches have been injured about Milton-
While the seeding is late, present pros
pects indicate an excellent wheat harvest
The cold season has been injurious to tbe
lamb crop. In some of the interior coun
ties the loss in young Iambs has been 35
per cent. Sheep shearing is in full blast
in many localities. Poplars are in leaf in
the Columbia river valley. The grass has
excellent growth and stock are improving.
Rivers It is an undeniable fact that
there is more snow now in the mountains
than there has been at this season of the
year for many years past. A continuation
of the present cool weather will allow the
snow to gradua'ly melt and not cause
such a great flood in the Columbia liver
and its tributaries, as it would should the
snow me rapidly under tbe innueDce ot
a sudden warm, period. Precautions
should be taken by all liable to be affected

'I have just finished an analysis of the prin
cipal baking powders sold in this market, with
the following startling results:
'Hercules. 1 bis powder contains ammo-
a.
" 'Crystal.' This powder contains alum.
"'Double Quick.' This powder contains
alum.
" 'Silver Star.' This powder contains alum.
' 'White Lily., This powder contains
alum.
1 'Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder.' This
is a pure cream of tartar baking powder, and
the only brand tree from alum, ammonia or
any impurity. '
following is a list of the more widely
known brands that Dr. Drew, chemist for the
Minnesota State Dairy and Food Commission,
as well as others chemists of high standing,
have examined and found to contain alum,
some of which contain both, alum and ammo
nia. Many of the alum and ammonia pow
ders are labeled and advertized as "absolutely
pure" to mislead tbe public. The condemned
powder given in this list are sold pretty gen
erally through Oregon and Washington:
.'(alumet," "forest City," "Grants Bon
Bon," "Hotel," "Globe," "Puritan," Snow
Ball," "Government," "Palace," "Loyal,"
"Columbia," "Home," "Monarch," '"Unriv
aled," "Chicago Yeast," "Echo," "Perfec
tion,'' "White Rose," "Hatchet," "Crown.,"
In addition to above list, there are many
brands sold with a prize. It is safe to reject
all baking powders sold with a prize, as the
tests show they are composed largely of alum
and costs but a few cents a pound. Also re
fuse any baking powder sold for twenty-five
cents a pound, or less; it is sure to contain
alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness could
induce the public to experiment with these
impure powders at the risk of health. Aside
from the question of the health or whoIeome
ness of these condemned i owders. and viewed
from the standpoint ol economy alone, a pure
cream of tartar baking powder, such as Dr.
Binswanger and other high authorities report
Dr. Price's to be", and from its greater known
strength and unquestioned purity should prove
more economical to the user in every way.
The Oasoade Looks.
Mr. J. G. Day arrived in the city from
the Locks last evening on the boat, and waa
driven around the suburb in a carriage,
He expressod himself well sat it tied with tbe
country, aod gave many practioal hints on
farming and fruit culture, la his opinion
our hills are adapted to grapes, and he says
when this country properly develops East
ern Oregon will haye large vineyards like
California. Aa regards the work at the
canal and locks at the Cascades Mr. Day
was yery communicative. He intends to
put as large a force of men at work prepar
ing stone as possible until the water is at a
proper stage to admit of work in the canal,
On Herman creek he has found a natural
deposit of such material as is needed, and
he says it stems that God almighty placed
those rocks for use in the locks. There are
quite a number of these already prepared,
and m'two weeks there will be a large num
ber ready to be placed in the walls. At his
granite quarry in California he has tbe finest
stone on tbe coast, and these will be placed
on cars and taken directly to the Cascades
without a second handling. On account of
the lateness of the season it is not expected
that he can begin work in the canal until
the middle of August or 1st of September.
Then the dirt will fly in good shape, and
every man will be employed to rush the
work to completion as rapidly as possible.
Tbe contractors, like the balance of the hu
man family, are selfish in' their determina
tion to finish the work quickly, so as to
draw their money. If necessary an electric
plant will be put in and men kept busy day
and night. It is very evident that the
Days mean business, and, with their granite
quarry in California and a track laid to the
boulders on Herman creek, they are pre
pared to do expeditious work. They have
nearly a million and a half appropnated,
and there will be no lack oi funds for ef
fective operations. Tbe high water, which
continues from May to August or Septem
ber, emphasizes the importance of work on
a large scale during the favorable months,
and this they aie prepared to do. Those
who have anxiously watched the work at
the Cascades for a long number of years
may expect to see their hopes soon realized,
and the obstructions to the navigation of
the Colombia at this point effectually removed.
irom tne Arungtcn Mtcora will prove:
"Miss Annie O'Neal, of Des Moines, Iowa,
arrived a few days ago by appointment to
meet her affianced, Mr. John Miller, of
Cleveland, Wash. Mr. Miller met her here.
and they for the first time saw each other.
Tbey both seemed well pleased with eacb
otner, ana netore this time tbey are enjoy
ing the bliss of matrimonial life. It ap
pears that one or both of them advertised
with matrimony in view and tbe above is
the result. Miss O'Neal is a prepossessing
lady, and is not lacking in personal accom
plishments; besides, she brings a well-filled
parse as a preseot to her future lord. May
their lives be long and happy. The editor
inquired of her if she bad a sister similarly
situated to herself, and receiyed a negative
answer. Suppose we will have to travel
the same lonesome road we have, unless we
resort to advertising."
1? Ma'AlIf
If II
Short in Her Aooounts.
The Baker City Democrat learns from a
prominent citizen of Grant couoty that tbe
quiet neighborhood of Canyon City is con
siderably stirred up over the announcement
that the postmistress of that place, Mrs. C.
W. Parrish, is short in her accounts with
the government in tbe sum of about $2500.
The shortage developed when the U. S.
postal inspector, now at Canyon City, went
over tbe books of the office. Tbe lady's
bondsmen have been notified and they will
be compelled to make the shortage good.
Mrs. Parish is the wife of attorney V. W.
Parrish, an estimable lady heretofore, and
it is the supposition that members of ber
family have brought about the emhrrassing
predicament in which' she finds herself. It
is hoped that Mrs. Parrish will be able to
exonerate herself from all blame.

on the part of the railroad men. As soon

Bailroad From The Dalles.
A meeting is called at Olex for Saturday,
to confer with the people on Rock creek
about the right of way for a railroad start
ing at The Dalles and crossing the John
Day near the bridge, then up the river and
up Rook creek and across the country ta
Pendleton, We advise our Rock creek
friends to not be in a hurry about giving
the right of way to any company nntil that
company makes it manifest that they will
build a road. - What this county wants is a
portage around the Celilo rapids that will
give na practically an open river. Then
send out a railroad from Arlington to Olex,
Condon, Fossil and the coal mines in the
south of .the county, and we have the
freight problem practically settled. Any
move to build a railroad across the country
to The Dalles would only weaken our
chances for a- portage from The Dalles to
Celilo. Arlington Record. We believe our
cotemporary is mistaken when he says any
railroad to Tbe Dalles will injure the
chances for a portage road around the rapida
above tbis point. This city will be the bead
of continuous river navigation for many
years, aod the interior cannot be reaehed
except by lines of railroad. The mote of
these .there are the greater wi 1 be the con
venience of shipping goods to the river,
where cheap water transportation to sea
board may be bad.
Thieyes at Horth Powder.
Some time Sunday night at North Pow
der thieves entered the store of Oorham &
Rothchild, effecting an entrance through
one of the windows in the rear of tbe store.
Tbe robbers not about $20 in money. The
safe was unlocked by means of a chisel or
.some flat instrument, snd they pried tut
the safe drawers and took the steel drawer
containing about $2000 in notes with them.
Monday afternoon Mr. O. A. Casper, while
going to work, discovered a b x in Luu's
field just across the railroad track, and on
examination of the box it proved to be tbe
safe drawer. Toe content were all in it.
Tbe box had been placed in such a position
that it waa easily discovered. The damage
to tbe safe is considerable.

Fatal Accident.
Arthur Jenkins, aged about 8 years, a
son of Elder J. W. Jenkins, of Rockland.
Wash., was found tbis morning about half-
past 5 o'clock, nearly a half mile from the
corset factory dead, with his skull frac
tured aod his body braised in several places.
lie was sent yesterday evening at half-past
o deck to hunt a cow which bad wandered
away, on a pony wbicb was considered
gentle. Not retnrning at dusk the father
became alarmed and instituted a search.
He and the neighbors hunted all night, and
t the hour mentioned the horse came up to
r. Jenkins, as though to give him notice
that something serious had happened. A
little distance from the animal was found
the lifeless form of the boy. The fractore
the skull was aboot-three inches in
length, snd was of snch a nature as wonld
have caused instant death. It was evi
dently received from falling on a sharp rocs
and not from a kick by the horse. There
were also signs of the animal having
jumped several times, and of it and the boy
aving been wound around in the trail rope
attached to the saddle, although, when
found, both were free from its coils. It is
surmised tbe boy was thrown from the
none by it "bucking" and instantly killed,
witb tbe trail rope in his hands. In its
fright the pony must have jumped around
considerable and became entangled in the
rope until it freed itself. This is a very
eplorabie accident, and Elder aud Mrs.
Jenkins will receive the sympathy of tbe
community in their sad bereavement.
Tbe funeral will take place to morrow
morning at 10 o'clock from the residence at
North Dallea aod at 11 o'clock from the
Congregational church in this city. Elder

ADDRESS: SAN FRANCISCO, CAL
Death of Mrs. OdelL
Mrs. Diona Odell, wife of tbe late Wm
Odell of East Hood River, died of con
sumption last Monday at 10 o'clock a. if.
bhe leayes five sons and one daughter, all
grown, and all living at or near tbe old
home. Mrs. Odell was a daughter of Peter
Neal, who settled at Hood River in 1861.
She was born April 25, 1848, and was a
little more than 45 years old. She was
married to Mr. Odell in 1862. Six years
ago she gave herself to tbe Lord, and has
lived a consistent Christian life ever
since. Unfortunately she inherited con
sumption, and when her husband died
two years ago, her hold on life receiyed
such a wrench she never fully rallied.
Quietly, uncomplainingly she bore her
sufferings, and to the last manifested a
perfect trust in God and a freedom from
all fear of death. She was buried this
morning at 10 o'clock in Pine Grove cem
etery, near Hood River, and a funeral
sermon, to her memory, will be preached
next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock by
Rev. Troy Shelley.
A Late Beport From Arbor Day.
Aibor Day in school district No. 52 waa
appropriately observed with national pride
and enthusiasm. Decorations of evergreens,
and a profusion of wild flowers rendered the
schoolroom a bower ot delight to the eye.
National songs and recitations, relative to
the day, characterized the exerciaes.' Tree
planting was abandoned, as Nature's kind
hand has planted more trees than our wor
thy directors seem to appreciate, for Director
Ditchteomnller has devoted his valuable
time to removing some of the stately moo
archs that graced our beautiful ground. An
address emphasizing the observance of Ar
bor Day closed the exercises.
