E. Saltmarshe & . Co.'s stockyards last niVht. They were in prime condition, and will make excellent beef for the citissena ot the metropolis. The principal business of the Jtasie grange to-day was in connection with the order, and the only matter of public im portance up to the noon recess were the re olutions published elsewhere. The Middle Oregon Baptist association convened in the Baptist church of Fossil last Thursday. There were delegates ' present from Heppner, Pnneville, May ville and other towns in this region.

The first eastern mail for two days was received at the postofflce this morning, and the clerks were busy . to-day distrib ut.ng a large lot of letters and papers. By reason of the washout near Pendleton the delayed train that passed through yes terday had no mail coach attached. We received to-day from Hon. Frank C. Baker, state printer, copies of the road, fish and game laws ot the state of Oregon, compiled by the secretary ot state. Any perbon may procure a copy of these laws by wnting to the state printer at Salem and inclosing a two-cent stamp for postage on the seme. There was one arrest last night whose name has frequently appeared on the re- oorder's docket for being druns and dis orderly. When stimulated by liquor he is quite boisterous ; but, in his normal condition, he is courteous and gentle manly. The usual fine was imposed, and the man regained his liberty. Ira Campbell, writing from Chicago to his paper, the Eugene Guard, says when he got to Omaha his party wanted a drink, bat it was Sunday and the saloons were all elosed; bnt they were taken to a dark cellar and got what they wanted. In Coanci Bluffs, Iowa, 100 saloons were running regardless of prohibition. The saloon keep ers are fined $50 a month, virtually a license The grave of little Mamie Walsh, at Milwaukee, the girl who was so brutally murdered about ten montns ago by the ' demon Wilson, who suicided in the Ore gon uiiy jail, is visited by her former schoolmates every Friday evening and decorated with flowers. The dear chil dren have dropped many a tear upon the clay that covers the remains of the one : they loyed so well. An Idaho ' genius has established a floating bank, which will cruise along the shores of Lake Kootenai, transacting bus iness for towns too small tosnppoit bangs of their own. A happy thought indeed. When depositors take it into their heads .' to make a run on the establishment the - first mate will simply cut the rope and the bank will steam put into the middle of the lake until the hurry blows over. It is believed that such an institution would be able to float almost any kind of paper. Four young men of Washington have taken a novel way to go to the world's fair. They intend to go in a stage coach, drawn with four horses. Leaving Seattle about three weeks ago, they proceeded through Ellensburgh and Walla Walla to Spokane. From Spokane they go through Northern Idaho and Montana, enjoving the abundance of game and fine scenery. They intend to arrive in Chicago in the latter part of the 8dmmer,sell their horses and coacb, and after teeing the sights, re turn by a mcdern means of travel. Last night Cottingham was arrested by the police, and lodged in the room adjoin ing the marshal's office. During the calm, : qniet hours, the prisoner saw a chance to regain his liberty by kicking through the door, which he did on the lower panel be low the iron bars. - His freedom was of very abort duration, for he was soon rearrested and placed in the cell, where he still in dnr nee vile. The desire for liperty may be the ruling feeling in every human breast; bnt when the bo is imposed on him for this set Mr Cottingham may regret that he did not allow this desire to slumber nndis tnrbed. Snow is still falling in the Cascades, and there is a chance for an additional volume of water in our streams. The ta lem Statesman any 8 : "Sheriff Knight re-turne- yesterday from a trip out to the foothills of the Cascades. Tuesday morn, ing, he says, fresh snow was plainly in sight from Gates, a fleecy covering having been put on the mountains during the night The snow in "the mountains is what makes the season in the valley so cold and backward. On the Quartzville road snow is reported to be still twelve feet deep." John C. Clark, in jail at Baker City for the reorder of Peter Deeming, near Hunt ington, on the 15cb of February, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor last Saturday afternoon. Clark had be?o acting strangely for some time past, and on one occasion attempted to bang himself ' with strips torn from his blankets. He a -ways said he would never be hanged or go to tbe penitentiary. Saturday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, at the request of the pris oners, the sheriff furnished tbem a razor so they could shave themselves. ; Eich took his torn, and when they were all through the razor was laid on the table. At a m inent when tbe attention of his fel o pris oners was attraoted elsewhere, Clark grarptd the razor and in a flash committed the deed. From Thursday's Dally. Mr. W. S.

R Coon, of Hood Riyer, came pp on tbe afternoon train to-day. Tbe riyer fell several inches last night, And it is now nearly to the 34 feet mark. It hogs tbe railroad track closely east of the D -senates, and a few feet more of a raise would hive covered the rails in places. ' Mr. C. M.

He is the nephew of Mr. Jodd Fish, of the Umati la House, and bis senior by a number of years. Ic is un necessary to state that Mr. Fish fully appre ciated tbe bonor of being an nncle to a man older and larger than himself, and who wouldn't? Adjutant S. Collins, of tbe Third regi ment. O. N G., of Arlington, baa tendered his resignation. He ha been one of the most indefatigable and best adjutants the reeiment ever bad, and his superior officers peak in higb praise of bis abilities and the efficient manner in which he has attended to bis official duties. Mr. Tbnmas Ltcey, heretofore a subject of Queen Victoria, to-day before tbe connty clerk declared his intentions of becoming a citizen of tbe great and glorious republic of the west. After due time he will be granted full paper, and the country wiil rank among her defenders one more patriotic son of the emerald island. Mr. Stone made a catch this morning of sn amphibious animal tbat is not saleable in this market. The creature referred to was a young seal, and Stone was very much sur prised to see tbe mud eyes ot the animil turned towards him when he was counting h a salmon. We understand that Hon. M. A. Moody will ship the seal to the Chicago exposition. Charles Besserer, of Walla Walla, is boot to Ieaye on a a trip to Germany in the interests of tbe North German Lloyd steamship line and to visit bis old home at tbe great university town of Heidelberg.

For the round trip the price of excursion tickets will be 50 cents. The first case of fever and ague ever known at the Warm Spring agency his made its appearance there recently. There are other cases reported since. This may bave been caused by the cold, damp spring, which is very nnusual in Eastern Oregon. One of the river boats unloaded wood this morning in the street, opposite the base ment of tbe Umatilla House. The beach ia a thing of the past, and the waves of the swollen stream now wash the foundations of many buildings on Front street. The tourist, after journeying for miles through the sand dunes along the banks of tbe Columbia is particularly delighted with the beautiful homes in this city. As tbey saunter along the stieets their admiration of the beautiful gardens amounts to enthu siasm. Mr. W. M. McCorkle, of Tygh valley, ?ave us a pleasant call this afternoon, te says there are better prospects for fruits and cereals this season than he has seen in this county for the past twenty-four years that he has lived here. Picnic grounds have been prepared at the forks ot Mill creek, about five milts south of the city for parties who desire to spend a day in the country. A hall 36x46 feet bas been erected, with a good dancing floor, and tables are scattered through the grove, con venient for lunch parties. , The trial of the Roslyn bank robbers is in progress at Ellensburg, Wash., and those who have been arrested will very likely be convicted of the crime. There will be no farce in the trial this time, as it was when the citizens of Gilliam county were imprisoned for the robbery. P. J. White wss taken to the penitentiary this morning by Sheriff Ward. Ue has a sister in the insane asylum at Salem, and tbe reflection that one member of the fam ily is an inmate of one institution by rea son of infirmity and the other a convict in another in the tame city, because of crime, is a sad one. We received a call this morning from Mr, F. ' R. Willmarth, formerly editor of the Prineyille Neutt. He says cattle are in good condition, and crass on tbe bills was never better. . Io his trip in town he saw crickets at Kishwap's ranch, and they were met in great DUmbers from there co Wap- initia. vegetation at Pnneville is mucb more backward than at The Dalles, and during tbe last few days forest trees have displayed, their leaves. There was an early visitor at the clerk'b office this morning, aud he received a hearty welcome. It was one of the birds that sing in the spring tra la, tbat new in through an open window, and Mr. James A. Crossen gently csred tor it until it becane quite trustful. Tbe tremnlous little creature would sit on his hand with perfect confi dence, and feed with considerable relish He was finally given his freedon and joined bis mate on the outside. W. JN. Matlock, who is an assistant su perintendent of Oregon's agncnitural de partment at the world's fair, writes to his father. Senator Matlock, that the ignorance some f tbe fair visitors display concerning our great state give him a weary feeling. Stopping to look at the grains, grasses and fruits they inquire: "What part of Cali fornia is Oregon in, anyway? and with in ward disgust "Wes'' proceeds to enlighten them. Evidently Oregon is in need of a tittle advertising. The barn of Mr. T. T. Driver, at Wamic, caught fire last Sunday about noon, and when discovered the flames were making rapid progress. Mr. Driver and his neighbors fought the fire with water and boards until they had it under control. There was little damage, but if the hre had not been subdued. Mr. Driver's dwelling and outhouses would have been destroyed. He cannot as sign the cause, but it appears as though it was tne worK ot an incendiary. The new church building on Court street. corner of Ninth, is the rendezvous of young boys and girls every evening. ri.ver since the sides bave been boarded and the floor laid, it is the general resort for hilarious amusement. Loud and continuous noises an be heard until the sable pall of night has abut ous tbe light of day, and tbe scampering on the boards sounds like the tread of hurrying hosts. Youth is full of activity and mirth, and these excesses ar excusable if no damage is done to property or disturbance of the peace created. A woman tramp, bound tor Chicago, passed through the city this morning. She was first seen crossing the railroad bridge I about half past 4 o clock, and after she had arrived at lhe Dalles was asked her desti nation, to which she replied Chicago. She carried a small valise, wore a man's broad brimmed hat, was tall and athletic and ap peared to bi about thirty years ct age. Two dayi ago she stopped at the saw mill at Wyeth. and wanted to come to the city on one of the flat- boats; but this was refused, and it is very evident she walked that dis tance, following the route ot the railroad track. The Marion connty members in the legis lature voted for tbe branch asylum for Eastern Oregon. We don't suppose, bow ever, that a single one ot the newspaper attacking Salem now will be honest or fair enough to mention this tact. Salem States man. That may be so, but how many peo pie in Sa'em are protesting against this in junction business? How many meetings of the indignant citizeus of, tbe capital have been ca Jed to protest against it? Where are the expressions and resolutions from the Salem people that may lead one to believe they are not unanimously in favor of it? E. O Republican. A curiosity has been found in Sherman connty in the shape of a petriQed tree in tbe high region near the Gordon butte. Mr. W. B. McUoy found it, a Ml the Moro Observer sa)s: "When first discovered tbe tree stump stood eight or ttn feet bigb, but it bas since been knocked down and portions of it removed by Mr. McCoy's family. One piece bas been sent east for exhibition and no doubt wilt be on view at tbe world's fair. The portion we received bears the' unmistakable appearance of having once formed part of a tree, the grains of tbe wood being - plainly in eyidence, and in various stages of decay," Mr. C. S. Jackson, editor of tbe East Oregonian, published a personal card in his paper yesterday as regards its solvency, to refute the unwairanced attacks 1 f a cotert porary. There is fair and unfair competi tion in every profession or trade, and we deem it the latter wbere any one attempts to benefit himself by maliciously prevari eating about the I usiness done by the other or financial standing of tbe proprietor. We have always considered the East Oregonian a live newspaper, and any cotemporary will bave to bnstle to surpass or even tqual it in any department. We admire the independ ent course pursued by Bro Jackson, but cannot endorse his political views. Union Journal: Oscar Johnson, a boy aged 14 years, met with a painful accident Tuesday evening 00 his tatner's farm, near Dudley. He went ont early in the morning to drive in the cows, and as he did not re turn by nightfall bis father became alarmed and start d ot to find him. After walking about the farm he found the young boy wandering about the field in a partially un conscious condition, his head and face badly bruised and clothing covered with blood. He was taken to the bouse and Dr. C. B. Stewart summoned. The physician made an examination and found tbe bead and face were badly bruised and the boy suffer in u from concussion of the brain. At last ac counts the little fellow was unconscious, and how he met with tbe accident could not he ascertained. Mr. Ralph O. Bates, tbe hero of Ander sonville irison, will deliver two addresses on his personal sufferings in the M. E church in this - city next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Tbe proceeds will go fur the benefit of tbe Epwortb League of this city. His expenences are very thrill ing, and he has had large audiences at his lectures in every city in the United States. Mr. Bates has no animosity against the southern soldier who fought in tbe ranks, and in his tour of the south says he bas met with as hospitable treatment as in the north. Tbe inhuman brute, Wirz, who waa justly hanged tor tiis cruelties at Aoderson ville, was the auth r of all his sufferings , and his memory is odious to tbe south as well as tbe north. Washed Ashore. Cascade Locks, Ore., May 23, 1893. Editor Tuns-HonHTAUtua: Deab Sib: The following may be of some interest to vou, and some of your readers may identify the body if it should not be that of J as. McCarran, the man drowned at Celilo recently. Saturday, May 20th, Mr. T. F. Leaveus found the body of an unknown man floating in the water near the Washington shore opposite this point.

Weather Frequent showers ,some heavy rain, cool temperatures and lack ot sun shine have marked the weather for the week. The rainfall varied from 0.50' to 1.50 inches. The temperature yaried from 48 to 66 degrees, the same as the preced ing week.- Crops, Etc The rains keep the soil in fine condition ; but there is an absence of sunshine and warmth, which are neces sary for the more rapid growth and the development of vegetation. The wheal prospects are excellent, and if no hot winds should occur the yield wiil be phenomenal. There has been a general increase in the acreage of cereals. Tbe peach crop will not be an average one; they are considerably injured about The Dalles and Milton. The strawberries about The Dalles and Hood River are rip ening slowly, due to absence of warm sunshine. Wool is being hauled into the warehouses, and is ot excellent quality and staple. Sheep shearing continues in progress. In tbe interior counties the fruit buds are swelling and opening, but the backward conditions continue. In Morrow county poplars are in leaf. Box elders and locusts are just opening. The stock have good range feed, and they are generally reported to be in good condi tion. The year promises, from the pres ent outlook, to be most successful. Rivers The temperature over the coun try drained by the Columbia and tributary rivers has been below the normal since last Thursday; as a result the rapid melt ing of the snow has ceased, and the rivers are falling slightly. It is expected that tbey will continue to fall slightly until Saturday, when they will have a tendency to rise again. -The extreme high water for the year has not been reached yet. B: R. Pagub.

Port Tears Ago; Perhaps there ia 00 one now living wbo has a clearer recollection of early days in Eastern Oregon than Mr. J. W. Coventon, and be is always willing to relate bis expe nences. He first visited tbe northwest in 1836, when he trapped through this region during tbat and the following year. "in 1850 he crossed tbe plains and camped io September near tbe mouth of Mill creek. This was the point then at which immi grants left their bones and wagons and took the river route to the settlements in the Willamette valley. There were no steam boats on tbe Columbia, and the pioneers would make any kind of a craft in which to float down the river. At the Cascades there was always great difficulty in making the portage, but these sturdy immigrants man aged to transport their boats around tbe rapids and reach dead water below. There is a chapter of hardships in this portion of the toilsome journey of the Oregon pioneers tbat may never be fully written. Mr. Cov enton says there were fully one hundred old wagons, in every stage of dilapidation, scat- JJOTTOM rAN' ADDRESS: SAN FRANCISCO, CAL ' tered around tbe place where the city now stands. Crippled and half starved cows and oxen could be seen on the hillsides. They were too poor to be driven any farther, and bad been turned out to die or recuperate. Very many, of these be came fat after feeding on the bunch' m-ass for a few weeks, and the slick-ear business was a lucrative one. When he ar rived here there was only one shanty on Mill creek, near the rock pile, and a few articles ot merchandise were kept on sale. A company of soldiers were camped on the bluff, near where the academy now stands. and these used tents. f A Hawkins' rifle which Mr. Coventon ' brought with him fiom Missouri, and for which be paid $30 in St Louis, he sold here for $5 and an old yoger thrown in. He was very glad to real ize this amount for his gun, although he had killed considerable game with it on the plains, but the journey had been long and tiresome and his funds had been exhausted. His troubles did not end at Tbe Dalles, bat he considered that be had arrived at the nrnmiserl land and bone buoved him U J r until he reached the settlements so weeks later. THE STATE GBAJTGE. During tbe session of the Oregon state grange held Wednesday the reports of treaa urer and secretary were received, and. they showed a prosperous condition of the order, both financially and numerically. The secretary read letters of response from Senators Dolph and Mitchell and Con gressman Hermann to resolutions adopted last session, asking for the permanent im provement of the Willamette river, and these centlemen siemhed a willingness to urge this matter npon congress. - A resolution was adopted memorializing the legislature to provide that women may sign petitions for or against saloon license. A resolution in favor of taxing U. S. bonds was laid on the table. A resolution was adopted condemning the extravagance of the last legislature.

Vanderpool, of Dufur, came In town to-day to meet his brother, Mr. C. M. Vanderpool, who is a delegate to the state grange from Bentou county. While here be met his oldest brother, Mr. David S. Vanderpool from Benton county, and on the train Mr. Willard Vanderpool, his son, ar rived from attending the grand lodge of Odd Fellows at Eugene. These gentlemen are- accompanied by their wives, and tbe doctor intends to take, them out to bis home at Dufur and bold a family re-umon. It will be many years since the brothers all sat sround the same table, and.-'together with his and their wives and bis son and wife there will be a large family circle. Tbe cup if cheer will be passed around, and the time will be spent in reminiscences of an almost forgotten past. In 1852 the doctor aud bis brothers arrived at The Dalles after crossing the plains, and his train camped on Three Mile creek. Coming here in the even ing the doctor purchased some provisions at tbe only building or store in town.aod night came npon him black and gloomy before he eouM return. He rode his cayuse out to a cave in the side of tbe hill where tbe Sberar grade is now located, and slept soundly all night with his saddle-blanket under him and coat over him. The only disturbance was when his horse scampered down the hill, scared at some wild animal He reached the grassy flat below and fed there till morning. From The Dalles the doctor and his brothers rode our the Cascade mountains to the Willamette valley. This is over forty years ago, and the incident are as distinct in tbe doctor's memory as though they happened yesterday. Letters Advertised.

Editor Tuus-MocsTAnisiJi: Some three weeks ago I received a card from a prominent citizen living south of Olex, asking me to call a meeting of tbe citizens of this place and vicinity to see if the people wanted a railroad from The Dalits up Rock creek and on south. 1 ar ranged to have a meeting called, and sent to J. M. Johns, of the Arlington Record, to have notices printed ; but by some mis take be simply printed a notice ic bis paper that came out on Friday, only giving one day's notice, h nee the meeting waa a fail ure. However, quite a number came and were strongly in fay or of such a road. have talked with most of the farmers since and they are not only in favor of a road from Tbe Dalles, but are willing and- anx ious to give something to forward the en terprise. The gram grown in Gilliam county this year will be in the millions of bushels, and transportation to the bead of nayiga tion is what farmers need and want, and that The Dalles will be ere long. We bave waited nearly a quarter of a centnry since the locks was hrat talked of, and we are disgusted with any farther talk about port age roads to open up the Columbia nver in time to do the present generation any good. Give ns a road to Tbe Dalles and we are content. H. D. Randall Eeal Estate 'Transfers.

Several loads of wool arrived at Moody's warehouse last evening and some this morn ing, and, we understand, there are very many on tbe road to Tbe Dalles from tbe interior. Tbe cold weather has delayed shearing; but it may be expected to begin in good earnest if the warm days continue. So far as received the clip is in excellent condition, and the fibre shows tbe effect of a favorable winter. From the range on which sheep feed wool cannot be entirely free from dirt; but this season it is much better than formerly. The market is still in a very unsatisfactory condition, and buyers are only offering 10 and 12 cents. while last year prices ranged from 14 to 16 cents, Sellers are not disposed to accept this offer, and will bold the product hoping for a future rise. We apprehend no great buoyancy this year, for, aside from tbe agi tation of the silver question making money matters tight, the advent of the Democratic party in power will bave a tendency to make dealers look to. the foreign product. which can be laid down in Boston at a much lower figure than that grown in this country, For these reasons it will be no surprise if the market do not reach the mark of last season. . Death of Mr- J. MoDonald. - Mr. James McDonald, who has been siok with consumption for several months past, died yesterday morning at 4 o'clock at the family residence on Cbenoweth creek. He was able to walk around until the past two days since which time he has been confined to his bed. Together with bis father and mother, four brothers and two sisters, he came to The Dallea in 1878, and in the fall of that year the family moved on the farm wbere they now reside. For several years Mr. McDonald and his brother Walter were in business in this city, until the fire of Ssntember. 1891. and since be bas lived with his mother. He was a genial, good hearted companion and had many friends among his acquaintances. At tbe time of his death he was 38 years old, and Until the dreadful disease afflicted him bid fair to live to a good old age. The funeral will take place Sunday from the residence 00 Chenowetb creek at 10:30 A. M.
