The pest has taken possession of a great number ot residences, and, even outside of these, peopie are suspicious of one an othe. and their lives . are miserable. Burnt sulphur does not seem to kill them, and the board of health declares it has no jurisdiction in the case. The afflicted in habitants are living in tents and out houses and can do nothing but scratch. John Thompson had a narrow escape from drowning near Gibbop, Monday, says tne East Oregonian, lie essayed to ride across the Dnialiiia river on horseback, and funod the stream a trifle deeper and more rapm than he imagined. Tne horse stumbled on a rock and tell, and its rider was pmugea into the current, which carried turn swutiy down tbe riyer for an eighth of a h ile oi more. Simon flagen ran along tbe bank until an opportunity came to rescue the luckless rider, whom he fiually managed to haul ashore in a badly exhausted condition. Yesterday a wool dealer in conversation with a prominent citizen assigned as the renson for tbe dulness in tbe market the scarcity cf money in the countiy. "But," said the citizen, "mutton is higher than it has ever been, and when wheat is brought to market there will be money enough to buy all that is offered. It is yery siraiue that there is money for all products except wool, snd no sale can be made ot tin. staple." The wool dealer diu not lear up tbe mystery; but tbe special session of congress may if it attempts to carry out tbe Chicago platform. For the first time since the organization of a militia company in thi; city, the mem bers f. lied to respond yesterday to the Invi tation ot tne G. A R. post to act as escoit to the cemetery and take part iu tbe solemn ceremonies ot Decoration Day. A company turned out a corpora. 'a guard three quarters of an hour after -the time ordered for as sembling, making an unfavorable showiug to the people who remained in town to wit ness the street parade. It proper action had been taken. The Dalles would have a good militia company, hich would be uot only a credit to tbe town, but to tbe Thud Infantry regiment. There is good snd suffi cient material for such au organization. Tbe lecture of Balpb O. Bates last night at tbe Meibodist church attracted a large audience, aud the experiences of . tbe speaker in the differeut prisons ot the south during the last war was listened to with marked attention. His sufferings at Ander aonville, by the inhuman treatment of Wirz, and the hardships experienced before be reached the nuion lines, were thrilliogly portrayed, and touched tbe heart ot every one present. The audience, with the great est interest, followed the narrative from the eginning to the ending, and when the kindness of the great Lincoln was told, tbe people gsve vent to a round of applause. He will lecture again to night, and will no doubt be areeted by a full bouse. East Oregonian: Last Sunday three young men bravely volunteered to aid Waller Wells in floating some logs down the Umatilla to the Lee street bridge. A raft was made of the logs, and the boys g. t into a boat to steer it down stream, nsing a rope to control. At a swift place the raft struck a snag and foundered, the boat ran into it aud turned "bottom side np," and the boys found themselves . in the riyer. Two of them, VV ill Lane and Ollie bmtth, escaped with a bath, but 'be third, John Meters, tell under tbe boat, where be floated with uis legs only visi ble above water. It was an extremely nn comfortable situation and Peters was nearly drowned before he could be res cued. Severaf of those from this city who at tended tbe races at Heppner have re turned, and apeaa in the highest terms ol the manner in which they were received and entertained by tbe members of ihe local association. Tbe judges were very fair in their decisions and gave general satisfaction. Ruby won the half-mile dash last Friday in 63 seconds. There were six entries, and Ruby showed good trainiDtr and careful handling. The half- mile and repeat race on datura ay was won by Rockland Boy in 52, 52. In this there were three competitors. This excel lent horse displayed' his running qualities in good shape, and won many compli ments. There were four entries i i the one-an&rter mile dash, and Funny won in 23 seconds. ' It will be seen that three of Tbe Dalles horsrs, carried off prizes in these very difficult races. From Thursday's Doily. The roads to the interior are in excellent condition. Mr. C.

Dallei military reservation; $750 A man was fonnd dead about seven miles from flood River station on Monday la t w th bis neck broken. Tbe roan's name was Murphy, and it is supposed that he was thrown from a horse which caused the fatal tragedy. A Portland mechanic committed suicide Vlonday because a grass widow to whom he was paying attention would, not respond to nia tender sentiments. He tried morphine; but this did not do the business, and he finally nsed a pistol. Col. Lucas has appointed H. N Frazer, inspector oi rifle pr etice, as acting adju tant of the Third regiment O N G.

Under a law passed by the last legislature any minor under 18 years of sge seen smok ing a cigarette or cigar may be arrested and nurd as welt as the dealer lor selling them, this law will prevent the opeu use of them by boys, it the law is at all regirded. In the window of Mr. A Ullrich s cigar factory is a bne collection of Indian curios 1 nese consist of arrow heads, pipes, bowls, and pieces of inlaid work. Tne autiquariau can spend an hour very profitably in exam ining these specimens ot aboriginal art. Hank Vaughn, well known in the north west, was riding furiously through the atruets of Pendleton Tuesday when he was thrown from the horse and bruised fright fully. He was unconscious when picked up. but will be sll right in a tew days, as it appears impossible to kill him. The result of the stabbing affair at Jnno tiou wherein Johu Green stabbed Charles E.

Tbe people of Rosehorg are determined to enforce the provision in the constitution. and the Review says: "Tne people ot Rose burg will see that every public institution hi Oregon, situated outuine the city Hunts t Salem, and receiving state ant, is en- joined, provided the soldiers' home injunc tion is dually sustained. A little son of G. L. Marley was standing tne banks of the Umatilla river near Echo, when tbe bank caved iu and he slid into the water. Uis father, who was near. went to his assistance, but as the water was deep and swift be was unable to render any belo. The boy soon sank from slant and was carried away by au under current.

This afternoon about 3 o'clock a loud whistle sounded Iroui tbe Company's shops, and is was thought to be a signal ot fire. fhe court room was soon cleared of jurors nd spectators, as a general conflagration was exp- cted. Va ascertaining the cause, it was found to proceed from a locomotive in the yard and the people became calm, aud court again convened and proceeded with the trial in progress. The circuit mure has the case of State of Oregon vs. E. B ck on trial to day. There are two indictments aaainst him one for arceny and the other for forgery. The former is the ooe being tried.

Neither ot the Indians conld swim, and they were all drowned. Une was Charlie's son, aged about 13 years, another a young woman 20 years old, an old man 50, and a woman 46. These were all Charlie's friends and he is snxious to know whe ber tbe bodies have been found. Any information in tnis regard will be gladly received by Charlie at Ar lington or Jim Wesley in this city. J. F. Amis wants the Lane county court to take steps for the preservation ot two aged oaks that stand in one of the streets of Eugene, near the court house. These trees are well known to the early settlers of Laos county. Under their spreading branches have resounded the voices of General Lane", Delazou Smith, David Logan and other in tellectual giants of that period. In the e rly 50s there was no place for public meeting except in the open air, and in the oak grove about the public square was held the picnics, religions and political meetings, courts of justice, horse shows, etc At that time there was quite a beantiml grove, so we are informed, but tbe trees have been gradually cut down until two only remain These are reminders of the pijneer period, and deserve preservation. weary sleepers do not object to the "msgio to From Friday's Daily.

Hood River strawberries are iu big de-' maud. Campbell Bros , ot this city, who are handling a portion of the crop, have re ceived telegtams from several cities in the uo tbwest asking for immediate shipment of berries, and it will be impossible to -ap ply tne demand, tbe season b ing u usually late. Not only Oregon and Washing ton, but Montana aud Utah ar- want ing strawberries It is estimated that the berry crop of Hood Kiver will bring $50,000 to that community this year. Coyotes are troublesome enouzh when they destroy so many lambs and sheep, savs tbe Antelope Herald, but when they get brazen enough to tackle horses, we judge it t time to call a halt, iieorge Cochrane an ex-en- sive sue pman ou the John Day. informs us that one of his herders this week saw me L-oyotes ubase a cult which was in a held with its mother near the sheep. The mother of the colt began to kick and strike at the coyotes, but kicked or pushed over the colt, whereupon the fave hungry devils jumped onto it with a vengeance snd "filled a long telt want." A new fruit pest has appeared along the Columbia in the vicinity of Umatilla State fruit luspector Jeasee says of it: "From tne knowledge I could obtain I am inclined to believe it is a blossom moth. It is about tbe size of a housefly, but without wings, and is tne most nuleous-lookiug insect 1 ever saw. It works in the buds on appln trees, and seems to touch nothing else. J uat snake a tree slightly aud thousands of them wi 1 fall to the giound. Over 300 tites, it is reported, have been killed in tuat section this season by this pest. It is something that has never before appeared iu this section." The citizens of Olvmpia are about to oi gan s a joint-stock company with a capital of $100,000, or the purpose of encouraging the establishment and operation of lactones. No shares of stock can be assessed over $2 50 s month, and this makes it po sible ft nearly every citizen to subscribe. This will mate an available sum of $500 a month on the 200 shares of stock, which, inside of six months will amount to sufficient to in augurate a factory giving employment to 30 or 40 rren. The people of the capital city of Washington are making a move in tbe right direction, and if--The Dalles would follow the example of O ympia this city wonld have 10,000 inside of three years. But the lesson will pass unheeded.

During the past six months, since the completion of the water works, the town has experienced nine fives, tbe on giu of only two of which are directly trace abie. Jacob T. Kafka died at the residence of his parents iu Portland, Ore., last Tuesday. The remarkable thing about this annonnue ment is that little "Jackty," as he wa called, while 9 years, 4 months and 26 days old was only 23 mchei in height in his shoes aud weighed exactly 14 pounds.

It is drawn by a traction engine with two iron wheels 8 feet in diameter. The plow consists ot zU BQares, cutting a furrow 18 feet wide, easily cover- ng 40 acres per day. The bladea are raisea or lowered by a lever and are generally set to cut from 8 to 10 inches in depth, running at the rate of 4 to 5 miles an boor, it re quires but three men to operate it, consist ing of an engineer, a fareman and a man to set the plows for turning corners, accom plishing the work of twenty-five men with teams. The net cost is about SI per acre for sod or fallow land. This will be a great thing for Lincoln county, and will largely increase the a.-reage of cultivation. Memorial Day Exercises.

A. ft, formed on Second street and marched to the cem etery on Mill creek. They were followed bymany carriages and several people on foot. Arriving at the monument erected to our fallen heroes the ritualistic cere monies of the order were rehearsed, Mr. I. M. Patterson, post commander, reading the oration and Uev. John Whisler acting as cbaolain. The members of the post formed in line around the stand, and two beautiful and appropriate pieces were well rendfired by a choir selected for the occasion.1 At the proper time tho norai tributes were deposited at tbe foot of the monument, and as each made the offer ings, the fallen comrade was named in whose honor the act was lione. When Mr. Ralph O. Bates came to the monu ment and deposited his bouquet, the post commander asked, "What will be the final result?" and he responded in a few brief and appropriate remarks. Mr. Bates said that the honor and the integrity of the nation would always be maintained. and if the emergency required the old soldiers would throw aside their crutches and canes and again do gallant fighting for the flag. The schools would respond to the call to arms, and American patri otism would be exemplified in every por tion ot the land and by every class ana cocditiou cf men. Those whose valor, is commemorated to-day did not die i-valn. Free institutions are firmly established in this country, and they will always have sufficient defenders while the lessons of Decoration Day are heeded. At the close of the ceremonies "America" was sung and tbe people were dismissed by tbe benediction. Grand Jurv Report. In circuit court of Wasco county for state of Oregon.

Many ot our western sheepmen bave al- recdy adopted the practice and find it quite a paying investment, while it also gives an assurance ot a clean flock dur- e the year, tnat is, it a nrst-class dip De used Dr Bowman favors the celebrated opei Dip which is so well and widely known.

'93, to the Commissioner of the General Land Office. 3 IB: By letter of March 9, 1892, Messrs, Uopp & Luckett, attorneys for certain set tlers npon lands within the conflicting limits of the grant made by the act of July 1864, (13 Ststs 365) for the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company, and that made by the act of February 27, 1867, (14 Stats. 409) for The Dalles Military Wagon Road, re quested that their clients be permitted to make entry of the lands settled upon, under departmental decision of February 17, 1892, (14 L. D. 187). This conflict occurs opposite the nncon structed portions of the Northern Pacific Railroad, extending from wannia, wasn. to Portland, Ore , the grant appertaining to which was declared forfeited and the lands re-tored to the public domain by the act of congress approved September 29, 1890, (36 Stats. 496). Tbe material facts covering tbe right ot The Dalles Company in the premises are similar to those in tne case of the conflict between the Northern Pacific and the Ore gon and (jaliiornia murnaa company, con nidered in the opinion of February 17, 1892, (kumra whe em it wa held (syllabus): " I he grant ot tne odd numnereo sections within the overlapping primary limits of the Northern Pacific and Oregon and Cal forma roads east of Portland, Ore., was for the benefit of the former company, under the act of July 2, 1864. and the forfeiture thereof bv the act of September 29, 1890. s to the extent of the withdrawal made nnder the sixth section of the act of 1864; aud nnder said act of forfeiture, no rigb a of the Oregon and California Road are rec ognized within th- said conflicting limits In that case, certain of the lands bad been patented to tbe Oregon and California Company anr a suit has been recommended to recover tbe title erroneously conveyed. n accordance with tbe provisions of the act of March 3. 1887. (24 Stats. 556). In the present case, nooe ot the lands have been patented, and so far as I am ad vised, there has been no request on the part of the W .con Koail Company tor a suspen sion in the matter of restoration of the lands. In your letter of March 28, 1892, you re port that "tbe fHbrneys for tbe Oregon and California ask that the order for the restora tion be suspended, pending the determica tion of tbe question involved in the courts, nd the suspension was directed D.-bruary 27 th, and approved by you on March 10, 1892. rrecuelv tbe same questions are in volved in The Dalles Military Road grant, which is overlapped by tbe JNorthtrn ira- cific It was therefore con cluded, in the absence of any direction by n to tbe contrary,' to suspend the disposal of the lands within tne overlapping limits of the grant last named, although no objec tion to the rest 'ration has been made by the Military Road Company. No order of su8peosien has, however, yet been issued." Tbe question arises, vhould .uch suspen sion be authorized? Having determined that the land was included iu tbe forfeiture declared by the act ot September 29 1890, (supra), I am of the opinion that, aa de clared by tbe act, tbey are a part of the public domain and that no suspension should be orderrd to await the result of any action in the courts, contemplated by those aggrieved at my decision in the premises. In the ease cf the Wisooni-in Central rail road grant, (10 L. D 63), it was held that certain lands were excepted from the grant and the application for suspension was made by the company, pending judicial proceed ings. This was denied (11 L. D., 615), and therein it was stated: "If such action should he taken in the present instance, it is not seen how it conld well be refused where any claim is set up to a tract of land. Auyone claiming rights as a settler or entry man, which have been paused npon adversely by this department, would have a right to expect that the par ticular tract claimed by him should be held in reservation until he had his rights finally adjudicated by the supreme court of the United States." This applies with qua! force to the case in hand, and I have therefore to direct that no order of suspension issue, but that the set tlers npon such lands be permitted to make entry thereof, as in other cases provided. Herewith are returned the papers. Very Respectfully, (sgd) Hoke Smith, Secretary. G. C. and the elder man sank and was never seen afterwards.
