The press associations of Oregon and
Washington have accepted an invitation to
visit the horticultural fair at Hood River
next Saturday, and the exhibit of fruit will
no doubt be quite extensive, There should

Daily intelligence is received at the
telephone office in this city of the progress
being made in constructing the line of the
Telegraph and Telephone Co. The dis
patch from J. if. Thatcher, secretary of
the company in Portland, to C. B. Hop
tuns, president in Spokane, this morning
says that on the night of the 25th the con
struction gangs had about four miles of
boles to dig, six and a half miles of poles
to set, and about eight miles of wire to
string. This is good progress, and it may
be expected in a little while the metropo

with the great city of Eastern Washing
ton. The George E. Gee Grain company of
Minneapolis baa been searching tor the
best wheat .from which to make cracked
. wheat, germea, and other breakfast dishes,
says the Waterville Index. They secured,
a short time since, a few bushels from the
Big Bend to test its quality for these ar
ticles and they report that they found it
made a breakfast cereal that was easier
cooked, more nutritious, easier digested and
better flavored than any they bad yet tried. -The
Great Northern railroad has received a
contract to ship 100 car loads, which is 35,
000 bushels as soon as it can be procured.
This fact should encourage our farmers to
pay attention to quality as well as quantity
in raising wheat.

Daisy Ainsworth, daughter of Captain J.
C Aids worth of Oakland, Calif-, in which
she accepts the invitation to represent the
state of Oregon at the launching of the
United States ship Oregon in San Fran
cisco on the 27th of October. It was the
governor's privilege to name the young
lady to break a bottle of wine on the bow
of the big new cruiser as she glides from
the ways. Aliss Ainsworth was born in
Oregon.where her father was prominently
identified with large business enterprises,
especially with Columbia boating, and
the young lady will fittingly represent
this commonwealth.

Chief Hunt decided that the police depart

which has prevailed from time immemorial.
Argonaut: An English lawyer, Mr. Wm.
Willis, was one-; rather amusingly inter
rupted in a speoch. Ia addressing a politi
cal meeting, Mr. Willis found an opportu
nity of referring to Uharles Dickens' char

The discordant notes of a charivari broke
the stillae80f the air last night, and the
playful zephyr in the tree tops sounded less
discordant than the clanging of tin cans and
nproariou8 shouts trom the expansive lungs
of boys. It may be amusement for young
America to howl and shout and beat pans,
etc., aiound the ears of a newly-married
couple; but it resembles more the orgies of
a band ot drunken savages than anytning
appeitaining to civilization.
The rain now can do injury to grain, and
will be great help to growing gras-, which
is necessary tor feed for stock. Sheep are
nearly all out of the mountains, and the
home range with the abundant moisture
that has fallen this month is in good con
dition When cattle are In good flesh, se
vere winters have not very disastrous ef
fects upon them. The fall is all' that could
be desired, and no great damage to live
stock interests is apprehended.
The steamer H. R. Thompson, which was
built in this city several years ago, and
which has been on the ways in Portland'for
several weeks, undergoing an overhauling
and repairs to the hull, which van had ly
wrecked at Mt. Coffin the 22od of last June,
was successfully launched last Thursday
morning. She now has practically a new
hall, and when ready for service will be al
most as good as new. - The boat will be
ready to gi on the Astoria route about the
first of October, when the Harvest Queen
will be taken off and put into the towing
business.
The East Oregonian nyt: Some scientist
has figured out that wheat from the time it
is threshed will shrink two quarts to the
bushel or 6 per oent. in six months, even
under the most favorable circamstaaces.
Heni e it follows that 94 cents per bushel
when it is first threshed" in Augustus as
good as $1 the following February. Corn
shrinks much more from the time it is
husked, 100 bushels of ears from the field
in November being reduced to about 80.
So 40 cents per bushel for corn as it comes
from the field is as good as 50 cents 'the
next March. Potatoes shrink ao much that
between October and next spring the loss to
the owner who holds them is nesrly 20 per
cent. ,'
While the forenoon was calm and quiet
in. Justice Sjbutz' court, the afternoon

The case of the state of Oregon vs. .Will
iam Watson is on trial to-dav before Justice
Schutz. Two juries were selected yester
day; but the one empanelled to-day con
sisted of the following: F. M. King, J.
Robinson, J. L. Thompson, G. W. Runyan,
Burt Thurston and F. S. Gunning. The
state is represented by District Attorney
Wilson, and the defense by Judge Bennett.
Considerable interest is attached to the
case, and every point in the testimony was
fought with the usual legal acumen. '
Mr. C. C. Masiker, of Biggs, says the
Moro Observer, sends us the following item:
Ou the 20th ult. Sam'l Price, ot Biggs, dis
covered a skeleton a short distance from his
hotel. The winds had lately blown the
sand away from the skeleton and left it ex
posed. It is supposed to be the remains of
a white woman buried there by emigrants
manv years ago. It is related at Biggs that
a few years ago a man wh lived in Portland
was here looking for his wife's grave. Mr.
Price boxed op the bones snd ill take care
of them for a time, when, if they are not
called ior, they will again be interred.
O tt of twpnty-one varieties of Oregon
wheat exhibited at the world's fair, Super
intendent W. H. Sav.ige of the agricultural
department, says the judgee found that
nineteen averaged 62 pounds to the bushel,
one weighed 63 pou ids and another (spring
wheat) went 03 pounds. J he judges said
that not half the wheat exhibited by the
other states was holding up to the standard
weight 60 pounds. Une sample of Oregon
oats went 50 pounds and another 51J. This
is certainly a grand showing when it is
remembered that the standard weight for
oats is 36 pounds. Oregon barley went 51
pounds on the scales, being three pounds
above the standard weight.
Arlington Record: On Wednesday last
John Brown hauled in a load of wheat. He
had six horses and two wagons. On his re
turn when about three miles south of town,
bis team took fright and became nnmanage
ble. He stayed with them until satisfied
he could -not get them stopped, when he
jumped out;' but, not jumping far enough
to get clear of the trail wagon, three of the
wheels struck his left ankle, breaking the
small bone in two places, besides breaking
the cap of the ankle joint. Parties saw
him and brought him to town, and Dr. Gei
sendorfer set the limb. At this writing he
js comparatively easy.
"Cyclone's'' correspondence is unavoida
bly held over until next week owing to its
late arrival at this office. His rebuke to the
Times-Mountaineer for its lack of appre
ciation of Sherman county's poetic talent ia
appropriate. Bro. Michell has no poetry in
his soul or else he would appreciate the
warblings of our Sherman county songsters.
Moro Observer. We take great delight in
poetry, but detest doggerel. Bro. Hosford ,
should have more consideration for the feel
ings of his readers than to have afflicted
them in the manner he has for a number of
weeks past. - If this happens again we shall
apply to the president of the humane society
in Portland for relief for "suffering human
ity" in Sherman county.
- The Salem Independent publishes the fol
lowing in reference to Wallowa county: "B.
F. Ownhy, one of the deputy sheriffs ot
VVallowa county, who brought a cattle thief
to the penitentiary day before yesterday,
says that timea are terribly bard in his part
ot the country. He lives in Enterprise, the
county seat, feity miles from Elgin, the
nearest railroad point. Wheat growers are
compelled to either haul their wheat forty
miles snd sell it for 33 cents or trade it for
high priced produce lit home. The indns
tries of the county are wool, cattle -and
horses. Millions of pounds of wool are
stored there, and . there is absolutely no
market at all for it. Beet cattle and horses
are away down in price and stores are re
fusing credit. He says be has no idea what
the people will do this winter unless there
is a change for the better."
Moro Observer: Candor in a preacher is
doubtless a very excellent quality, but the
pulpit is hardly an appropriate place from
which to accuse a member of the congrega
tion of -theft. Over in Klickitat county
they bave a minister . of the gospel who
adopts this course whenever he learns of
misdeeds committed by erring members of
his flock. A preacher of this stripe was
discoursing to a congregation in the eastern
end of Klickitat oouoty a short time since
when he suddenly stopped and pointed his
finger sternly at a gray-haired and most re
spectable member of the audience, and said:
"Yon sir, ought to -be a saint, but you are
not. You stole a pig from a poor widow in
Goldeodale, and I know it." The old gen
tleman arose promptly, pointed his finger
sternly at the preacher and said: "You are
a liar, sir! and I know it." Then there
were razors in the air for the space of half
a minute.

Followed Taooma's Example,
East Orerfouian.
La Grande bas not waited for the gov
ernment to deport its Chinese. It took
the matter in hand itself, and did the job
very effectually.
Sunday evening a meeting was held by
the anti-Chinese citizens and a plan of
action decided upon. About 12 o'clock
that nieht the saloons were closed and a
crowd of men proceeded to the unsightly
regions where dwelt the Chinese popula
tion. There were at first three Winches
ters ainonir the raiders, but the city mar
shal did his duty to the extent of depriv
ing them of these weapons He was un
able to manage the crowd, however. It
was too many for him.
Each Chinese wash-house was visited,
and the occupants peremptorily told to
decamp. As is customary with these
docile creatures, they made no attempt at
resistance, but proceeded in a frightened
manner to huddle together their personal
belongings and depart.
Some few went to Baker CUy on the
next morning's train, but the majority
sadly wended their way up the Grand
Ronde river and camped out that night
about four miles above La Grande. This
did not suit the self-empowered deporters
They wanted the Chinese clear out of the
country. So they proceeded to the camp
next day, herded the Mongolian unfortu
nates together, brought them back to La
Grande, and that evening compelled them
to board the west-bound train. Each Chi-
m had a bundle contaiumg his
earthly possessions, and upon piles of
these they sat disconsolately as they bade
good-bye to the place where they had
lived and worked in their own poor way.
bemoaning their fate with one another in
their discordant tongue.
Two or three of the leading ' Chinese
were allowed to settle up their affairs.
Two of those driven out had lived in La
Grande for twenty-five years. It is re
ported that some of the ringleaders in the
affair were placed under arrest, but sub
sequently released.
Last night, shortly after midnight, the
principal Chinese store in La Grande was
destroyed by fire. The firemen were able
to save the adjoining buildings. The or
igin of the fire is unknown, one theory
being that the Chinamen caused it them
selves to arouss popular sympathy in
their behalf.
An appeal to the law will le made' by
the celestials who have lost property by
the crusade. A leading Chinaman, it is
said, will soon visit Li Grande with an
attorney from Portland and another from
San Francisco to investigate the case.
A gentleman, who is here from La
Grande, states that townspeople there had
nothing to do with the movement. It was
originated by country people and harvest
hands, who organized themselves, visited
tne city ana took things into their own
hands. One man, Rinerson, protected his
Chinese gardeners, and they were not
driven out with the rest
Altogether about seyenty-five Chinese
left the city. All did not live in town,
many being employed on land near as
gardeners, teamsters, etc. Some of those
on ' board last night's west-bound train
stopped at Pendleton, but the majority
went on to Portland.

A Sad Case.
Albany Herald.
The sad ending of the young girl, known
in Astoria and San Francisco, , where she
died as Laura Burke, but whose real name
was Isabel Case, and former home at Salem,
should be a warning to stick to home and vir
tue. A stranger in a big city, alone and de
serted, at the early age oi 16 years she dies.
with not a friend to look after or care for
her. She deserted the home of her well-to-
do parents, where she had loving care and
attention, for a life of shame and this sad
ending. The Statesman says: "The family
sought diligently for tidings of the lost
child, but never a word could they hear;
the changed name, of coarse, accounts for
that. Some months ago Mr. and Mrs.
Case moved from their farm home near this
city to a ranch in Sam's valley Jackson
county, where they now reside. A brother
of the girl, Bert Case, sells sewing machines
in Marion county. He was in Salem, last
evening and was told of the discovery that
had been made. There was no doubt o" the
identity of the dead girl so he couid not but
believe the story. The family will bring
the body to Oregon for interment."

Moro Observer.
We bertby rise to remark that we are
deeply grateful to the Antelope, Dalles and
Goldendale press for their gratuitous circu
lation of our alleged opinions on the subject
of divorce and what constitutes sufficient
grounds for obtaining the necessary decree
in each cases; but on behalf of the town of
Moro, and the judiciary of Sherman county.
we protest against that "two months
bride" yarn. Since the publication of the
aforesaid yarn by these papers, we baye been
compelled, in order to escape personal vio
lence, to assure upwards of a score, of indig
nant husbands that we did not entertain the
views relative to marital duty attributed to
us by Bros. Shutt, Michell and Gourlay.
We are not advised as to what these breth
ren of the quill are in the habit of doing
when requested to apply soothing measures
to the dorsal vertebrae of those who, accord
ing to the views attriDutea to as, nave a
legal right to demand it of them, bat, judg
ing from the liberal manner in which they
ventilated the question, it looks as though
the matter had been weighing on their
souls pretty heavily for same time.

The Old Folks at Home.
Mr. C. H. Hall returned yesterday from
month's sojourn in the east, during
which time he spent several days at his
old home at Tipton, Iowa, where his
mother, now 83 years old, lives, and also
paid a visit to the world's laft- in Chicago.
He speaks in glowing terms of the ap
pearance of Iowa at this season of the
year, and, from Council Blufis to Tipton,
he passed through continuous -corn fields,
the product of which were in excellent
condition. His old mother was very
highly pleased to see Lim, and although
more than an octagenanan, was enjoying
good health and very active for her age.
The time he spent with the friends ot his
boyhood was one of great enjoyment, 'and
it was with regret that he again parted
from them. In hia visit to the world's
fair he could find but little, to inform
strangers about the state of Oregon.
There was no building, no place of ren
dezvous, or other point where Oregonians
could meet together. The visitors from
this state were like orphan children,
without home and with but few friends.
Arkansas had the finest exhibit of apples;
but when the box sent by Mr. E. Schanno
reaches there they will be eclipsed by
those from the vincinity of this city. The
exhibition merits the highest compli
ments paid to it, and he would not at
tempt to give an adequate description. In
his perambulations around Chicago he
met Mr. Filloon, father of Mr. John Fil
loon of this city, and Mr. Joseph Day,
formerly of The Dalles, but who is now
in the employ 'of the Pinkerton agency.
Joe was "shadowing" a man when Mr.
Hall met him" and he had but a
few moments' conversation with him.
A Desecrated Grave.
From New berg, Oregon, domes the follow
ing ghoulish report: Yesterday afternoon
M rs., Hess and Miss McColam, of Dandee,
yisited the cemetery at that place and
found the grave of William Jones, who
died in February, 1892, of old age, opened.
The body had been taken out and was left
on the ground, where it appeared to have
been three or four days. A son and several
daughters of the dead man live in this
place. As soon as word could be sent to
them, the son, William Jones, jr., and a
son-in-law, David Everest, in company with
Dr. McConnell, Squire Burnett and several
others, drove, to the burying ground. They
found the body lying on an old burlap sack,
face down, and about 10 feet from the foot
and a 'little to one side of the graye. The
grave bad been filled up with new posts, old
boards and dirt. On opening it, it was
found that the rough box cover had been
broken by a mattock or spade. The casket
cover hid been broken into pieces and the
body palled oat feet first. The pieces of
the casket and box cover had been thrown
back ipto the grave, with dirt and posts.
The body was carefully examined, bat no
clue to the perpetrators of the deed could
be found. It was replaced in its desecrated
grave. No reason for so ghastly a deed can
be found, for the deceased was an old man
and without an epemy in the world.' Noth
ing of any value had been buried with him.
HiuPish.
Mr. L H. Taffe, of Celilo, is in the city
to-.day. He says the run of salmon at his
cannery is phenomenally large, and in order
to prepare the fish for market he is forced
to increase the number of his employes.
The "drive" which leads to his wheels is
literally one animated, moving mass of
salmon, and these all find their way into his
"hopper." Daring the early run, especially
when warm weather prevails, tbey make
their progress up stream in the eddies, and
the wheels on the banks make their best
hauls; but in the fall very few of them are
lowered into the water. There are some
exceptions to this rule and Mr. Taffe's
wheels are notably among these. By the
side of the falls he bas blasted out a road
way for the salmon, and, congregating in
unlimited numbers at the foot of the rapids,
they find this open way and crowd through
it constantly. This furnishes a harvest for
our genial fnend, Mr. Taffe, who gathers in
his crop of hah while very few of the other
wheelmen catch anything. All streams
this fall appear to be plentifully supplied
with salmon, and as far in the interior as
The Anti-Ohinese Biota.
District Attorney Hyde, on receiving
notification of the anti Chinese riot at La
Grande, left Biker City Monday night, and
on Tuesday the following dispatch was re
ceived: La Grande, Sept. 26. Warrants
out for the arrest nf Cottner, John
Green and son, Ladd, McClellan, T.-uesdall,
McQaarrv, Burch, Stacey, Bauer, Fitch,
Nessly, Mason, Furman, Bush, He tiling,
Esteb, Oldenburg, Huchey, Carpenter,
Murray, Frizzell, Howe, Meath and thirty-
one more for riot. Think parties will not
resist arrest though many are hot headed
No trouble so far. Few Chinamen left.
We are glad that the authorities in that
portion of the state have acted so promply
in this matter, as even Chinamen should
baye rights that are respected under our
laws.
The man Esteb mentioned in the dis
patch, is undoubtedly the- same person who
practiced law for some time in this city; but
who 'did not eojov the most exalted reputa
tion of being the leading lawyer ot Eastern
Oregon.
Mr. J. R. Winter, of Prineville, Crook
county, who owned the carload of horses in
the wreck near Blalock a few days ago, is
in the city trying to sell the ones that were
not dead or permanently injured. There
were twelve killed, and for these the Union
Pacific company settled with him. Ho has
low ten head at the stockyards ot Mr. R.
E. Saltmarshe & Co., in this city, and
these he will dispose of at private sale.
They are tine animate, and - received no ap
parent injury except slight scratches on the
sides and legs. He has already sold three
at good figures. The horses were intended
to be shipped to a point in Indiana, and
from there driven into Kentucky and Ten
nessee, ihey were good noises, ana con
stituted sorne of the best breeds ia Crook
county. Mr. Winter feels his loss' very
keenly, and in a conservation with him this
morning he said that those killed were the
choicest of the band. Having met with
such bad bad luck in his' first shipment, Mr,
Winter will not very likely soon attempt
the venture again.

A Medford man was at the opening of
the Cherokee atrip. He writes .to the
Mail: "About two hoars ot this day would
kill the average Oregonian. The wind is
so hot that a wet cloth has to be held be
fore one's face to keep from blistering,
and the wind blows about forty miles per
hour carrying with it great clouds of hot
sand and dust which at times are so thick
as to hide the sun from view. The white
man, half breed and Atrican are all one,
so far as color is concerned. ..The worst
feature, or one ot the worst, howeyer, is
the scarcity of water. Every drop ot
water has to be paid for, and cannot al
ways be had then . The excitement ri
vals any mining camp, and the society
would average pretty well with any fron
tier camp. Men carry guns strapped on
them, and twenty-four hours does not pass
without someone 'biting the dust.' Pick
pockets and thieves are on the trail." v
Fred Bonk, of this city, says the Corval
lia News, met with a narrow escape from
drowning Monday in the Willamette river.
He wan at work witb others on the logs be
longing to Max Friendley which floated
down the river one night last week, and
slipped and fell into the water wbere it is
about fifteen feet deep. He can swim, but
as be fell among snags in the stream he
could not help himself, and went under.
Thsee near by ran to bis assistance, and he
was brought to the surface by the aid of
pike poles. When taken out to the shore
ISoiik waa unconscious, and it was neueaaar
to roll him about considerably before be
cjoij to. An ear was somewhat injured by
being struck by a pike pole while nnder the
water, and bis face was otherwise scratched
tj soma extent. It was certainly a narrow
escape from drowning.
