' We acknowledge the compliments of the Second Eastern Oregon District fair, to be held in this city, beginning October 10th. This promises to be the most suc cessful exhibition ever held, and we hope it will receive liberal local patronage. A notice posted on the door of a sus pended eastern hank read: "This bank has not busted. It owes the people $35,- . 000, and the people owe it ?5a,uw. it is the people who are busted. When they pay ns we will pay tbem." Hon. F. P. Maya returned from Wallowa county Sunday morning. While there be visited hia brothers Polk and Benton, and assisted in the prosecutions of some cattle thieves, who were convicted of the crime and sent to the penitentiary. The Soyder building on Front street is being thoroughly repaired, and will soon be in good shape. After the tire, in which it was considerably damaeed. its sbanelesa rnins has been an ungainly sight It la to be hoped that the half-bumed structure will no longer be a sad commentary on the enterprise of The Ual.es. There were twenty carloads of cattle shipped from R. xfi. - Saltmarshe & Go's stockyards this morning for Troutdale. Our facilities as a shipping point are be coming widely known, and, perphaps, there are more cattle, horned and other wise, shipped from this city direct from the pasture, than any other point west of the Rocky mountains. Steps are about to be taken toward the construction of a fish ladder at the falls of the Willamette at Oregon City, for which the last legislature made an appro priation of $10,000. Governor Pennoyer and Treasurer Metschan will make an investigation of the piemises, in connec tion with U..8. Fish Commissioner Mar shall McDonald. A letter has been received from the chief of the United States coast and geodetic survey, Washington, D. C, statute that Mount Orizaba, Mexico, is the h ghest. It reaches into ttae olouda 18,313 feet, while Mt. St. Elias only tonches the mark at 18, 015. We are sorry, but the two mountains of Oregon and Washington by these figures are over shadowed, and Hood and Rainier must be considered simply hillocks in the fatnre. After hiding its face behind murky ' clouds all day yesterday, the sun came oat this morning as bright and smiling as a young bride. Cloudy and rainy days in Eastern Oregon make our citizens appre ciate sunshine, while, if all skies were blue and all days bright and clear, the difference could not be appreciated. Va nety is conducive to a proper enjoyment of the weather, as well as it is to the art istic delineation or a landscape. 1 dons. The estimated crop of wheat tributary to Athena, in Umatilla county, 1b 716,000 bushels. This will sell at 35 or 87 cents, which wjll bring into circulation about $250,600. The harvest of grain in Wasco may not be as large, but the price quoted for some time has been 45 cents a bushel, ' which shows that farming in this and ad joining counties, by reason of the advan- - tages of river shipments from The Dalles, is much more remunerative than farther in the interior. At the funeral of Mr. William Alljsoo, at Hood River, last Sunday forenoon at 10 o'clock, there were eight Odd Fellows from this city who intended to be in the - funeral procession, but one by mistake was taken further down the road. The members of Idlewilde Lodge, I. O. O. F., attended as a body,and there were a large no ruber of friends in the line of march to the grave. Mr. Allison was a highly respected citizen in that community, as well as a honored member of the frater nity named. - We have received with the , compli ments of the Oregon Farmers' Alliance, Oregon Knights of Labor, Oregon State Grange and the Portland Federated Trades Assembly a pamphlet - entitled through pie Initiative and Referendum," by J.- W. Sullivan. It attempts to applv to the institutions in this country the plan adopted in Switzerland, and furnishes ar gument to support lis position. While we do not endorse the doctrines advo cated, in this free country, there should be no restraint in any regard upon the expression of opinion.' In the house at' Washington Thursday wnen juotiea, cnairman ot the public lands committee, got the bill through to indemnify settlers for . money erroneously paid the government, Wilson, representa tive from Washington, said he would not oppose the bill, bat he hoped that McKae would soon report a bill to indemnify the settlers along the Columbia river for money paid for lands at double the min imum rates. These lands were upon the grant to the Northern Pacific. This por tion of the road was never built and the lands were subsequently forfeited. Wil son says McKae's bill establishes a pre cedent which will allow the Columbia river indemnity bill to pass. From the Salem Independent it is . learned that two young ladies, riding in the Swan lake pine woods last Sunday, - were chased for tally a mile by a Cali fornia lion. The animal was attempting ' to capture one of the colts which was fol lowing the horses which the girls were riaing. xney pui spurs to ineir sieeas and kept ahead of the voracious beast, and did not scream or taint Finally they came to a fence surrounding an enclosure, - and, after passing through the gate, the lion gave up the pursuit Alter it was over, and the young ladies realized the danger they had passed through, they were badly frightened. But Oregon girls never give up when the emergency e quires nerve and pluck. The Statesman says: Oregon moss is about to redeem itself for all that has been said against it A new industry has recently developed at Salem which prom ises not only a valuable factor in itself, but an important matter for the railroads and shippers. The day has come when Oregon moss will enter into a new era. Already has a large amount been put in use. A company in Fresno has already ordered a largo invoice of Oregon moss to be shipped to them. When the moss arrives it is pat to "use in packing goods for shipment. Thursday five big bales of moss were shipped from Salem to Fresno, and yesterday another bale was shipped.' This moss is collected and shipped by the Capital City nursery company of this city. heard this season. The Tygh ridge is per haps tne garden spot ot Wasco county, and with summer tallowing will produce aouna antly. Horses have arrived for the races next week. It ia expected there will be some of the best tnals ot speed at tne coming dis trict agricultural exhibition that has ever been witnessed here ior a long time. Mrs. Minnie Uleason and son, who have been visiting her parents in this city for some weeks past, made the trip to Portland on the boat this morning, she will return in a few days. Mr. G. W. Phelps left last night for Aon Arbor, Mich , where he will pursue his studies in the law department of the nnt veraity in that city. Mr. Pbelpa will enter the senior year, having passed with credit his junior examinations last year. We understand that there are some petty thefts being committed in this city; but our police force will soon stop the opera tions of these light-hngerea gentlemen (7J Justice Schutz issued a warrant of arrest for a person this afternoon who is charged with' the crime of burglary: We did not ascertain the name, but this wili be given when the examination takes place. ' The Regulator wharf has a large lot "f wheat piled on it. We understand that 50 cents a bushel was paid for this. ' This is the highest price paid for grain this year east ot tne Cascade mountains.

There is quite a content in the wheat market in this city, and prices have ranged from 47 to 50 cents a bushels. The highest price paid was yesterday: but we under stand it was lowered this morning, and the top price quoted was 46 cents. With the amount of wheat produced in the county daring the late harvest busine'S would be quite prosperous it wool in the spring had commanded any price; but nearly all nVces being stored takes out of the community a large amount of circulat ing medium. There were three arrests made last night by the police force, one for vagrancy and two for being drunk and disorderly. The latter, we are informed, deposited bail in the sum of $40, and had a trial this after noon for the alleged violation of the ordi nance, before the recorder. The musical sociable held over Mr. Brown's grocery on Second street, in Schau no's hall last evening, attracted quite number of ladies and gentlemen. Worthy of especial mention were the musical rendi tions on this occasion, and each number was received with hearty applause. This is the first church sociable held this fall season and it is hoped they-will be quite frequent, and will be the means ot great enjoyment. A man named Perry McQuean, who chased a lawyer through the streets of Al bany with a revolver drawn Monday, was arrested and examined for insanity, and wa discharged. Our Albany cotemporary thinks this was not evidence or an nnbal- snceo, but of a weak- mind. We do not know what conclusion would have been drawn had he chased an editor or preachsi in the same manner. Walla Walla hoodlums will overshadow The Dalles boys for malicious mischief, as the following irom the Union will show; Tuesday evening several young boys who wer6 playing around a barn on the alley in rear of Collins' store, started a fire inside of the structure and then ran away.

They are now in tbe county jail - awaiting their examina tion. Fruit of all kinds is constantly being hauled into the city, and our markets have on sale the choicest lot of peaches, plums and prunes, Ia justice courts tbe machinery does not attain such a velocity as to cause tbe least friction, and therefore everthing is peaceful and harmonious. -. Mr. L. Rondeau, of KirgJey, is in town to-day. He is through threshing his grain, and from 105 acres of fall wheat he realized 42 bushels to the acre. This is a phenom enal yield, and surpasses anything we have Among the profession a "dynamiter" is a tramp who carries a blanket as a pretense that be is an honest laborer hunting for job, he will not work longer than necessary to obtain money for a debauch; a "gay cat is a "foxy boy who makes great .pretense that be wants a situation, and tells pathetio stories to people he is sure has nothing for any one to do, not leaving them nntil he gets money, which he is sorry he could not do something for; a "stiff' is a tramp who will not work under any i ircumstances. East Oregonian: A party from Colfax relates I hat a terribc hail storm occurred there. Monday. For half an hour hail atones as large as marbles rained from tbe heavens and covered the ground for a depth of several inches. Thousands of acres of grain are standing in the Colfax neighbor hood, and the bail and rain, it is found, will do sn incalculable amount of damage, Farmers who have grain sacks in the fields have placed rails between the layers and covered the whole with straw, to prevent the grain from sprouting. vm.

The lat est is from Seattle. Adolph Krug, the absconding Seattle treasurer, haa a large black Newfoundland dog which he fre quently took to the office with him. On Friday afternoon it broke loose from the house and started down town for the city hall. There it instituted search for its m la ter, visiting every room in tbe buildiig and seeking all around the treasnrei's office and private room. It finally took up its post at (Crag's desk, and refused to move until it had to be driven from the building at the time of closing. Heppner Gazette Billy Crank, who bas been tending camp for Isaac Large, will leave to-morrow for the mountains to bring Ike's band down to winter quarters. Billy had them back in the Oreenhorn section, but the heavy fall ot snow up tbere about the 12th of September drove tbem out, when he moved them to the Middle Fork country, wbere they are now located. The September snow was quite heavy and un expected, consequently it caught many kheepherders and camp-tenders unprepared. In-some instances while moving the sheep, herders were for two days without food or sleep. We learn from the Walla Walla Union that C. S. Moore and Edward Harris, con victs at the state penitentiary, made their escape some time Tuesday evening. They were first found missing at roll call at 7 :30 o'clock in the evening. They were "trus ties," and were at work in the stable. Moore waa serving a sentence of eight years, leas than half of it ahead ot him. He waa sent from King county for robbery. Harris was also serving an eight-year sentence, having been sent from Whitman county tor horse stealing. - Warden McCleea took prompt action toward securing the return of tbe fogitives, offering $100 for the appre hension of each. Eugene Guard: Several days ago a man named Elmer Williams, a traveling horse trader who recently came across the mount ains from Eastern Oregon, stole a horse be longing to Mr. Maudo near Monroe, Ben ton county. He passed through Eugene and at some of the bop yards above here traded the horse to a German who was pioking hops.

It came down in torrents, and continued for several hours. This morning the ground was thoroughly soaked, and water laid in p ols in low places. During the night tbe rain fall a mounted to .74 of an incb, the heaviest recollected in this r gion for a number of years. Moro Observer: On account of the late ness of the season several threshers through cut this county will hereafter run Sundays as well as the regular working days, as the season is far advanced and farmera are clam oring to get their grain threshed so that they can haul their wheat to the market be fore the inclemency of the weather prevents them from doing so.

Get out your glass and smoke it evenly all over, and you will have the op portunity ot examining the transit of the moon across tbe sun's disc. Thos. Edison has figured out a solution to the financial proulem. He would discard both gold and silver as worthless, and make wheat or iron, producta representing labor and wealth, tbe backbone of our money, issuing wheat and iron certificates, the same as gold and silver certificates. He also suggests compressing a bushel of wheat uto a dollar, stamp it and circulate it. If one gets hungry he can soak his dollar and eat it We fully endorse the following from the Union Scout: "A few acres of hops, with a sprinkling of hogs and cattle to eat up the grain when it is worth its prestnt price. would be a good tbing (or tbe Uregon farm ers, it wonld enable tbem to teed tbeir surplus wheat so that it would realize for them a price far in excess of what is now offered, and the bops wonld make a nice in come this year.

Full particu lars were not obtained, but it is doubted by many if the shooting was accidental, as Vail bad trouble with his wile, and the cir cumstances lead to tbe belief that he com mitted suicide. Later. The tragedy oo curred at the home of Andrew Vail, about a mile east of town. The ball entered near the heart, inflicting a fatal wound. At last accounts the wounded man was in a dying condition. There aeems to be considerable donbt whether tbe shooting was accidental or was done with suicidal intent. East Oregonian: The Pacific Coast Ele vator Com Dan vs elevator at la uranae was burned to the ground last night, tbe building and all it contained being totally destroyed. Tne tire btarted between 8 and 9 o'clock in tbe evening, and in a snort time became uncontrollable By morning the elevator waa a heap of smouldering ruins. JNo nre had been lets in tne engine room, and it is supposed that an incendiary caused the blaze. The elevator contained about 35,000 busnels of grain which waa all destroyed. Twenty thousand busbeis oe longed to Mr. Conley, known as tbe wheat king of Grand Ronde valley, and the re mainder to John Caviness. There was no insurance on the grain. Tbe valley papers still hope that the O P. R. R. will build into Eaitern Oregon, and for the cast three or tour years this event has been noted as neiring consumma tion.

Monday's Albany Democrat: At the Pioneer House, in this city, after an illness of several weeks, Mr. J. E. Dean, died at the age of 40 years. Mr. Dean waa editor of the Oregon Populist, published in this city, for several months. He resided in Coos county for nineteen years, locating there from bis native state, Missouri. He run a paper at Coqnille City for about 11 years, then going to "Portland, where he re sided only a few weeks,- when he made Albany his home. He was a man of staunch habits, and is well spoken of by those who have known him for years. He leaves a son eleven years old residing witb an uncle at Yoncalla. A brother, who had been with him for a week or two, returned home on Friday night, thinking he was much better, but he grew worse this morning and only lived a short time. An Oregon Memento. A communication was received by th6 recorder during the week from the Astoria chamber of commerce in reference to pre senting to the warship Oregon, which will be launched on or about Oct. 26, 1893, suitarie ana appropriate memento, as a token and expression of appreciation of the honor conferred. It stated that the cham ber of commerce wonld appoint a committee of five, and also invited the several cham bers of commerce, boards of trade, city councils and other state organizations and also prominent state officials to co-operate with them in procuring tbe necessary funds for the purchase and presentation of said memorial. Tbe organizations mentioned were recommended to send one delegate to a convention to be held in Portland, at tbe Portland Hotel, at 10 o'clock, A. M , Oct. 7th for the purpose of carrying out this object. This communication waa read be fore the council last evening, bat no action was taken on the contents. The Cascade Seserre. The Cascade range forest reserve, created by presidential , proclamation, includes a strip of country extending all tbe way across tbe state of Oregon in tbe north to Crater lake'in the south, 250 miles long and 30 miles wide, embracing 4,500,000 teres. Tbe reserve is set apart nrincioallv to nro tect timber and water supplies, though for tbe present it shuts off all entries for settle ment thereon. It is probable however that it may be opened for mining purposes should mineral wealth be discovered. A similar proclamation was also issued setting aside "Ashland reserve," also in Oregon, having an area of 20,000 acres, and calculated par ticularly to protect the water supply of Ashland, Ore.

However, as probably one-fifth of this amount will be taken up by home stead entry, tbere would be $250,000 to be paid within the next two months by the farmers occupying a comparatively narrow strip of land in this district.

Tomlin, introduced by Mr. McRae, will establish just the precedent wanted to make easier the passage of the bill providing for the repayment of the excess of $1.25 per acre paid for the dou ble minimum lands within the limits of the grant to tbe N. P. By. Co., since for- eited. The obvious reasons foi charging double price ($2.50 per acre), were tbat the building of a railway would enhance the value of the lands along the line to that extent, and that by selling the evtn sections at that price the government wonld lose nothing by its grant to tbe railway of the odd sections. There was an implied contract between tbe govern ment and the settlers. On the one band the railway was to be built, and on the other double price would be paid for tbe land. Tbe settler fulfilled his part of the contract, but the government, through the failure of tbe railway company to build the road bas ' failed to do its part.

Baker City Democrat. It ia onr sad duty to chronicle tbe death of James Hazen Summers, which occurred on Gelena mountain, near Seven Devils, some time within the last ten days. Mr. Summer was born in Kentucky, near what is known as tha Crab-tree orchard, some 56 years ago, and came to this coast as a boy in the year 1851. He followed mining in California for years, and ' then packing through l'laho in 1862. lie was a pioneer of pioneers,and discovered the Galena mine, on the mountain so called, which is north west of Salubria, and may thns be said to be the father of prospecting on the property belt, on which Mineral City and Ruthburg now stand. He was also the discoverer of mineral in the Summers district, and this gave to prospectors the data through which the camps at the head of Bear oresk, Hilie band and Curran were established How much he did for civilization, in making set tlement on the frontier possible, cannot be estimated. He was an Indian tighter all his life, but, like most of tbe vanguard, liis work and ita benefits inured to other. He was found dead in bis camp, and it is im possible to tell how long since be expired. A short time ago he moved to his mine, about eight miles from Ruthburg, where he wan found last Monday by Steve Lamb, ly ing on the ground about thirty foet from the tent. So passes away one ot a type of men which are too nnoommon. Brave, fear-, ing nothing hut the upbraiding of hii own conscience; honest, his word was as good as tbe oath of tbe best; humane, hu services were ever at the disposal of need, and it is sad to think that be thus passed away with out tbe ministering hand of his fellow-man. Perhaps it is the death he wished to die. He chose a nomadic life and pnrsned it to the end. While not being attached to any church, he believed in an Overruling Being, and "for dotv" right by his felloa-man was bis watchword. In the matter of the estate of Krnaat a Hum Citation.

The sociable at Fraternity ball last evening was a very agreeable event, and attracted very many visitors aside from tbe members of Mt Hood Camp, Wood men or tbe World, and' tbeir families, under whose auspices it was given. Lieutenant Advisor C. H. Brown, of the order, introduced the programme by de livering the address of welcome, and this was followed by a rendition by the man dolin club, which was well received. Then little- Miss Kreft was introduced, and gave a recitation in excellent voice, and was loudly encored. Hon. D. C. Ire land, of the Wasco uu,being called upon, responded in a very pleasing style. He was loudly applauded at the close, and his remarks were very befitting the occa sion. Music by the mandolin club fol lowed, and this was rendered in the usual excellent manner. A song by Miss Myrtle Michell was in good time and tune, and won the applause of those present This ended the programme of literary exer cises, and all were invited to take seats at the table, on which a bountiful 1 neb was spread. This part of the entertainment whs duly appreciated, and it was pro nounced as elegant refection aa was ever enjoyed in this city. The chairs and ta bles were then removed from the floor, and ihe merry dance was indulged in un til 12 o'clock. This was tne first of the monthly sociables to be given by the Woodmen this year, and if others are patterned after the one last evening they will be very popular. i m i The Forfeited Lands.
