Gov't Report I Powder Ex-Goy. H. 0, Murphy. In the Arizonia tenitory edition of tha San Francisco Journal of Commerce of a re cent date is published a poi trait of Er Governor N. O. Murphy. The biographical sketch accompanying it says: "Mr Mur phy, on March 21, 1889. was appointed sec retary of Arizona, and conducted tha busi ness of his office in so able and brilliant a manner that the governship was tendered to him two years later. He took his seat May 11, 1892, and left behind bim a most brill iant r cord. He was ananimoaslv chosen a delegate to the National Republican con vention, held in Minneapolis in June, 1892, aud succeeded, among other things, in get ting the arid Un i interests of the wet rec ognized in tbe platform ot his party. During h i incumbenoy of the office . of secre tary he was more than three-fourths ot tbe time governor ae facto, tiovernor Murphy has always been' conspicuous for promoting enterprises for territorial Pr Kress, and bia force of character and per sisteocy of purpose combined with the abil ity, experienoe and self -education, place bim in the front rank oi Arizona's most prominent men.

His good fortune will be newt to many, who tender him congratula tions on the success that hat attended him in political matters. . Death on the Bail. lion day's Telejrram. The Union Pacific Spokane and Port land passenger train Nu 8, arriving this morning, 2 miles east of Winona, Wash., at 5:25 last evening, struck and killed Joseph Bush, foreman ot an irn gating ditch at Hooper. Bush was riding down the track between Lacrosse and Winona on a velocipede car when struck by tbe engine drawing No. 6, west-bound He was thrown from tbe velocipede and killed, and his body was sent to Coltax under instructions from the coroner ef Whitman county. The velocipede car was owned by tbe ditch company, and the employes have been accustomed to use It in traveling along tbe railroad, aiming to keep out o the way of trains. Bush evidently did not hear the train coming, and probably did not think ot its being the regular time ot the passenger tram. He was under the influeooe of liquor at the time and unreasonably careless. But little known of him by the employes or passea gers of the train arriving.and the railroad company has not as yet received the mail report of the particulars. The telegraphic report contains only the information that the accident had occurred, and does not state the circumstances. .. , , Umatilla 0ount's Treasurer Short . A special dispatch to the Walla Walla Statesman, dated Pendleton, January 29th, says : ' "It is reported upon good authority in this city that M. E. Folsom, treasurer of Umatilla county ,uas been found short in Ills accounts in the sum of $40,000., The discovery was made on a demand of the county court for a statement Tbe sure ties upon Folsom 's bonds are held in high esteem, perfectly able to make the amount good. Among them, it is said, are Thos. Rouarke, the banker. " ' 1 Mr. Folsom, Umatilla county's treas urer, is a gentleman well known to all residents and always as an honorable cit izen and an upright officer. . Tbe news of the shortage causes much comment anal not a little criticism. Folsom carries on the blacksmithing business here, and, as usual heretofore, bas had no regular office .in which to do business as treasurer. . "Mr. Folsom has more sympathy than condemnation from those with whom your reporter has talked. It is very prob able that the matter will be settled; but if not, it is rumored there will be devel opments made which will make interest ing reading matter." ... Ho Suffering Here.' Antelope Herald: Notwithstanding Gov Pennoyer's statements to the oontrary, the people of Oregon, 'and especially those of eastern part of 'the state, have experienced leas suffering during this great financial panic than they have io any other portion of the anion. ' While there are many out of employment', no actual suffering for the want of food or clothing has beeo exper ienced. Everybody has plenty to eat and wear, and some to Rive to their lets unfort unate brethren, if necessary. Although their debts are "hanging fire," creditors and debtors are willing to suffer alike, and there it but very little orowdiog done. Take into consideration the great suffering experienctd nearly everywhere else, and we have no room for complaint. Rsst easy, and if the Wilson bill is defeated, we will all be able to meet our obligations, and in side of tix months enjoy the tame prosper ity tbat we did a year ago. If the bill it not defeated right here we'll give it hope lessly op. Letters Advertised. The following it tho list of letters re maining in The Dalles postoffice uncalled for Saturday, Jao. 27. 1894.

Policemen Harper saw Gibson ran atter bo had thrown the rock and arretted him. Tbit morning a warrant was iworn out tgaintt him by Folco, and Gibson was brought before Recorder Dufur to answer tbe charge of assault and battery. Tbe trial wat had, and on hearing the testimony the recorder fined him $20 or twenty-Bye dtyt in the oounty jail. Not being able to procure that amount he was oommitttd to the oare of Sheriff Ward until tbe expira tion of the time mentioned. A Self-Faying Sheep Dip. Of all tha dips on the market none can excel the Cooper theep dip for its tplendid effects upon the wool. It invigorates the growth to an extent only known by those who ote it, and it returns its cost in better and more wool, while at a ourative it is un equalled. Itt superiority over all liquid dips it acknowledged the world over. Turnbull A Wood, Vale, Oregon, write: "Wo are satiated it improvet the fleece. Our clip it bright and clean, and we hava the beat lot of wool we have ever thorp,'' Kenneth F.
