appreciate its fastness.
Salem Independent: Intelligence was
received in this city a few days since that
Leet Downing was shot and killed in

overtaken by a oosse of ranchers and
seven of tbe thieves were instantly kil.ed,
oi.e of whom was Downing. He was well

it. A woman put the money which Bbe
drew in a small reticule. When she got
out of tbe jam she carried nothing but tbe
handle ol the bag, as someone bad cut
the body away with a sharp instrument
Tbe crowd was full ot pickpockets and

ing hot water was taken off of the stove by

year I have never missed a cold bath in the
morning," he said, -"nor a run into the
country when the weather was good. As a
result I feel as fine as silk, and I am going
to live a century." Next morning he was
found dead in bed. He had heart disease.
Salem Independent: The governor states
positively that the building will not be
erected at the reform "school this year.
The principal reason is that there are no
available funds. The bank failures in Port
land bave cut off money that belonged to
the state. In the Oregon National of that
city was placed the Mnltnomah county
tax amounting to $300 000. Part of this
belonged to the state. Tne state treasury
is almost depleted aod it is impossible to go
ahead with the contemplated improve
ments.
Gazette: Heppner had a little taste of a
prairie fire Sunday. It started sooth of
town within the corporation in T. W.
Ayer's pasture, and it was by dint of bard
work that it was prevented from ruining
the cemetary and fencing. After it had
burned over a. good s zed patch, it wis
gotten under control. The wind was blow
ing from the north hence damage to build
ings in the south part of town was pre
vented It is said to have been started by
some boys who built up e fire to cootc some
thing, and this should be a lesson to the
yonogste s to be more caret uL

Tuesday's train. No. 1, W. & C R. R .
says the East Oregonian, was stopped at a
point three mile below Vansycle, a man
being seen beside the track. He was to all
appearances dead, but was finally restored
to consciousness and proved to bave been
prostrated by heat and exhaustion. He
-aid be came from Walla Walla and had
been walking along the track in search oi
work. He had a tew dollars and offered to
py his fare, being to all appearances an
honest workingman in distress. He was
carried to Vansycle. and there left at the
residence ot J. L Killian, where he was
given food and cared for.
The" Cincinnati Timet Star, Rep., says:
-'The silver mine owners ot this couotrv
have kept up such a din oyer tbe free coin
age of their product that they have suc
ceeded in convincing thousands that sdver
mining is positively the most important in
dustry in America. The largest product of
American mines rarely, if ever, runs over
$50,000,000 worth, aod this product is not
i marker when compared with the wheat or
corn or live stock product. The poultry
product in Amenca exceeds the value ot the
tilver product every year by many millions.
Among America's great industiies silver
mining is about the least."
Thursday evening, at Dairy, Klamath
county, while raising from bis chair on the
porch, and knocking the ahes from his
pipe with his right hand, John McCurdy
-uddenly pressed his breast with bis left
haod aud tell upon the fl tor of tbe porch,
dead. He bad been talking to a camper en
the silver question, and apparently in full
possession of all his mental and physicial
powers, when tbe heart suddenly ceased to
keep up circulation of the blood. John
McCurdy went to Klamath county about
16 years ago aod engaged in stock and
farm bus ness, accumulating in tbe region
ibove Dairy about 1200 acres of land, aod
occupying a leading place in his chosen
calling.

Moro Obsever: Miss Mollie Nhhols, who
disappeared from Grants about tbree Wfceka
go, is still missing. She started one on
horseback, it is tupposed to round up some
noraes of hers, and had but very little
money with ber at the time, so she cannot
have traveled very far, unless she rode
down into Crook county, where she had
some horses. Her father, lives in Prine
ville. Much noeainess is felt on her ac
count, as it is exp cted that some tidings of
her would nave been had long ago.
Se irchers from Grant were out looking for
her last luesday.

It must be frankly acknowledged that the
Goldendale base ballists scored a larger
number of runs at the game last Saturday
than our boys; but The Dalles horses beat
the cuitans ot Goldendale so badly that not
a cheer was heard for the victory on the
diamond field after tbe first race was run.
There is no doubc that this city txxs some of
the finest bred horses in the state, and our
citizens are not afraid to match tliem on tbe
turf with any in the northwest. -.3
Mr. Thomas Condon, a brakeman on

had the misfortune of having tbe draw
bar fall on bis left foot, bruising the toes
badly, Tbe company's surgeon attended
to the injuries, and in a few days Mr.
Coodon will be able to attend to bis
duties.
The estimate of C. A. Pillsburry, of Min
neapolis, one of the leading millers of the
northwest, is that the present year's crop
or American wneat win ot only sumcieoc
for home consumption and seed, confining
tbe exportable su plus to the stocks carried
over from last year. If this estimate is
correct; there should certainly be a reaaon
a le advance in the price of wheat, as the
foreign demand will in all probability ab
sorb our entire surplus whether it be much
or little.
What's in a Dame?
Sallem Statesman.
Mr Poorman, of the Woodbarn bank
appears to be somewhat of a joker. Some
two months ago be was strolling along in
tbe world's fair woman's building, in.
Cbicago.when a lady approached, accom
panied t 1 a Columbian guard. Wben
she rea where he was at the fool of a
stairway, on the steps of which some wo
men and children were sitting, she gave
an order to tbe guard and passed on. Tbe
guard turned to tbe women and told them
thev would have to get up and move on
as the steps must be kept clear. "Ladies,
you can sit still just where vou are," said
doorman. 1 ha guara looKea at mm in
amazement and said : "Perhaps you don't
know who that lady wits who gave the
order?" "I do not," said Poorman, "who
was she?" "That was Mrs. rotter falmer,
the president ot tbe woman's fair com
mittee," said tbe guard. "Perhaps you
!on't know who I am," said Poorman. "I
do not," said the guard, "who are you ?"
"I am Governor Pennoyer of Oregon,"
said Poorman. The guard looked amazed
aud passed on, while the womeu looked
grateful and sat still.
Hot A Paradise,
One of the surveyors now at work on the
Colville reservation writes as follows to a
friend at Colfax regarding the country tbe
party has traversed: "In some respects the
work ia much worse than I expected to find
it The timber is not as heavy or under
growth as I bad expected to find it. But I
had no expectation of finding a country
which the government bas otdered surveyed
as mountainous as this. We bave one con
tinuous series of mountains to cross from
the very beginning of our work up to the
present; some of them 1 have measured.
The steepest yet noted is 2000 feet above a
stream running at its foot and ia probably
4000 leet above the Columbia. X would not
have all that I bave yet seen if it was given
t me. It is utterly worthless for agricul
ture, very little good for timber, poor for
grazing, and with yery poor mineral iudi-
catioos. It is simply not worth owning.
We had not averaged a mile a day since be
ginning our work."

Dwarf Sea Serpent.
Southern Oregon is tbe owner of a genu
ine dwarf sea rcrpent, according to the
Cbetco Herald: A party went out fishing
from Cbetco Sunday, and besides bringing
in about seventy fine fish, brought a nonde
script, the like of which bas not been seen
before by old settlers, or even Indians. This
Btraoge looking monster of the deep meas
ures 5 feet 8 inches in length, and 18 about
tbe thickness ot a ma . 8 arm. Its bead is
frightful to look at having a mouth that re
sembles a beak more than aught else fur
nished with eight red-looking fangs, four iu
the under jaw in the front of tht moutb.
Its eyes are rather large and have a dull,
dead look, or rather the appearance of being
covered with a thin him. It bas a row ot
fins extending from the head to the tail that
resembles a mane more than anything else.
Ia short any one looking at the monster
would pronounce it a sea serpent it tbere is
one in the ocean. The creature will be
stuffed, and can be seen at the Herald office
by any one who wirhes to see It.
Gum-Chewing.
An exchange says: "The only reliable
remedy lor bleeding at the nose is to move
the jaws rapidly. This has been known
for years, but a modern frd has made it
more easy to adhere to the prescription. If
a person "ho is suffering from severe hem
orrhage of this character will chew gum
viciously for a minute or two, the bleeding
win entire y cease, ana it is important for
him to keep some gum in his pOtiat so that
when the feeling of fullness which precedes
the renewal of an attack comes on he can
avert the danger in a few minutes." This
no doubt accounts tor tbe large number of
guin-chewers in this city. It is for its
remedied effects on hemorrhage of the nose.

0BEG0N WEATHER SEEVI0E.
The following is the weather report for
the week ending Tuesday, August 1, from
the central office in Portland:
eastern orkgon.
Weather The warmest weather this
year prevailed during the pist week, tbe
mean temperature ranged from "0 to
degrees, while the maximum temperature
was from 90 to 103 degrees the last two
days of July. No rain bas fallen and tbe
sky is almost continuously cloudless.
v!rops The weather has been favorable
to the curing ot ibe first crop ot altalta,
wbicb is now stacked ; tbe ground has
been irrigated for tbe second crop. The
weather is also favorable to tbe maturing
of the fall sown grain and to the harvest
ing ot it. In the Columbia river- valley
fall wheat harvesting will be in full blast
this week. In Union and other counties
east and south of the Blue mountains
wheat hcryest will not begin for two
weeks or more. What fall own wheat
that bas been cut bas yielded better than
was expected. Umatilla county produces
between two and three million bushels of.
wheat, and from a correspondent, who
travel lea in a buggy over torty miles
the wheat section, tbe following
learned: "We were agreeably su' prised
to una tue wheat so promising, vvitn
tew exceptions tbe crop is good; the
straw will not be so long, but tbe berry
will be plump and the yield good. Tbe
spring sown crop of wheat is beyond any
damage from the weather. I have lbOO
acres n spring graiu which w.ll yield at
least twenty bushels to the acre. Harvest
hands are very plenty." Fhe prospects
in Morrow, Gilliam and Wasco counties
are good. Sherman county will have
good yields. While the yield per acre
maynotbnuD to that of 1891. the total
product will equal or eiceed it. In that
year Eastern Oregon produced six million
and Western Oregon nine million bushels
ol wheat. Grasshoppers are doing con
siderable damage in Grant county The
hay crop which bas about all been se-
cured,except tbe succeeding alfalfa crops,
is very heavy, The fruit prospects are
good, though the yield per acre will be
reduced. Pea hes are ripening nicely.
The Probable Weather At this period
of the year, the midsummer rain seldom
falls, except from an occasional thunder
storm, hence rain need not be expected
during the coming week. ,

Teachers' Institute.
Hood River, Or., Aug. 2, 1893.
Editor Toks-Mouktaixub:

by Supt. Shelly, after which the regular
work was taken up.
Forty teachers are enrolled and unusual
interest is being taken in tbe work. The

Alma Miller.
Mr. J. W. Miller, the gentleman who
lost his child near Summerville last Sep
tember, spent several days in this city re
cently, trying to ascertain the whereabouts
of a band of gypsies, whom he believes has
possession ofr bis little girl. We were in
formed that, in answer to a telegram from
Salt Lake informing him that the chief of
police of that city bad a ltttle girl in bis
possession whose description was similar to
that ot his daughter, ne bad taken thn tram
to that place. Last Wednesday Mr. R. V,
Gibons received a dispatch from Chief
Hunt of Portland stating that a child
which be believed to be little Alma Miller
was seen in McMinnville with a razor
grinder, and that if they ca i.e to tbe city
tbey would be apprehended. Mr. Gibons
ascertained that Mr. Miller had returned to
his home at Snmmervill , and sent a dis
patch to Mrs. Miller containing the infor
mation received by bim. .Nothing more
was heard of tbe matter until yesterday's
Telegram was received in this mty, iu
whicu there is an account of the deteutioo
of Alma Miller at Eugeoe bv Sheriff No
land of Lane county. Tbe Telegram saysi
"Last evening Deputy Sheriff George F
Crouer, of L.na county, found a ittle gul
answering almost perfectly to the descrip
tion of Alma Gladys Miller, in Eugene.
She Was with a little boy about 4 years old,
who was. she said, her brother, tbongh she
bas never seen bim nntil a few months ago.
Sne said her name was Frances Veir, and
her mother's name Maggie Vier, that she
came from Hailey, Idaho, where her mother
lived 10 a tent. She was sent to Eugene by
her mother, who told her her father lived
there; that be was a woodchopper aud that
his name was Com p ton. She had never
seen him. Her little brother, she says, is
named Newton Veir.
"Her story is that a long time ago she
was found by a man while playing in tbe
grass. He pat ber in a sack aud told her
to keep quiet, aod he would take ber to her
true mother. She was taken to a tent and
waa told that a woman named Maggie Vier
was her true mother. She says she will be
7 years old this mouth. Alma Gladys
Miller will be 7 years old to morrow.
'Her description of the man and woman
she was' with answers to that oi James
Smith and his wife. He is a big man, sne
says. Smith weighs about 180 or 200
pounds. When last beird off he was run
ning an emery wheel grinding knives, raz
ors, sciBsors, eto. She says the man she
was with bas a knife-grinding machine.
The woman she was with she d scribes as
large, 'with red face, dark hair and beavy
baDga and says she always wore a black
dress. Mrs. James Smith weighs about 150
pounds, is heavy set, bas dark-brown eyes,
rosy cheeks, very long and heavy dark
brown hair, with beavy bangs dropping
over ber forehead. She always dresses in
black and looks neat.
"The little girl and boy arrived in Port
land over the TJbion Pacific yestesday
morning. Tbey had no money -or tickets,
and told Depot Master Stewart that they
were going to their father at Eugene. He
placed tbem on tbe local train and sent
them to Eugene yesterday. Tbe little boy
ja sandy complexioned, baa light hair, and
nnnpnrs tn he about 4 years of age. Th
children have been warned against talking
to m n. and say that their mother told
ih.m anmB nnn nnnld trv to steal them
tr.v talked to them. Deputy Sheriff
Crontr placed them in charge of an officer
at a hotel in Eugene, and with Sheriff No-
land, of Line county, came to this city on
the early morniog train They have tele
graphed Miller at The Dal es, where he was
last beard from, and at Summerville, his
home, but have not yet reoeived a response
from him.
"The otEcers are confident the little girl
in their charee is his lost child. Tneir
theory is that Smith and biB wife fonn
that Miller was close on their track, baying
traced them as far as l'he Dalles, which
place tbey left Julv 12, and that thev
thought best to get rid ot tbe girl, which
accounts for her being sent to Eugene It
a annnoaed the bov was also stolen. Smith
and hia wife belong to the Stewart and
Sherlock eauer of Irish gypsies, who have
been in this northwest country aoonc
year.
