"To him who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forms" our leafy treee, blooming flowers and bright green grass are a constant source of gratification. The frowns of winter have changed to the smiles of spring, and all surroundings appear to be in harmony with happiness and buoyant spirits. The current depression does not seem to have interfered with the beer-drinking industry in Pendleton. A man who noticed twentjrlo-gallon kegs in front of one saloon inquired of the proprietor bow long it had taken to empty them, and the latter replied that he bad dis posed of the contents, 300 gallons, in 11 days.

Our people are as renowned for honesty as for hospitality; and, besides, in our salubrious climate, there is little use for umbrellas except in winter. There would be no object in purloining such a useless thing. East Orejonian: Charles G.

On consulting the various stock bnyers nf Corvaiiis, he found that the market price wap considerably less thau he supposed. . Oregon and Washington are great fruit growing' states, hat heretofo e the freight charges on railways have been so high as to -hut them off from eastern markets. Since the opeuing of the Great Northern, o jinpe tinn has been more p doted and freight rata for fruit greatly reduced. The result will be a doable blessing both to the western grower and tbe eaatern consumer. The World'a Fair showed the fruit products of this favored section of the union.

They will probibly not be disturbed in their fliiiht.

Uarrieon, met with a seriona and peculiar ' accideat Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock. He was eogaged in hau ing dirt from the north side of th river. Wh n tbe wiud storm came np in tbe afternoon he waited on the bridge for it to pass over. Thinking it was over he went on and got a load of dirt and started back. When passing a large tree it suddenly blew over, lneie weie two main Drancnes, aod 0'ie of thsm struck his team, consisting oi a mule and a horse. The mule waa killed in stantly. Tne horse was injured and died on reaching town. The other limb grazed the boy'a buk aud injured him quite severely. It struck him a glancing blow, striking him in the middle of the ba.-k and with such force as to cut his oat aud shirt from his body. He was brought to town and Dr. Paine attended hun. lt was a very narrow escape I rom death with him, tor bad be heeu a few inches farther back or forward be would have been strack tqnarely by one I' of the large limns and mff-red the fate of bis team.

The mnefirsot a scouring mill are greater whjre wool is heavier by reason ol tbe fiber beiug mixed with ean-1, dirt, etc , and while tie ayeragn of tbe Eistern Oregon product coataius 70 ! t ceut. of this waste, un which freight is pai t east, tho fleeces that usually find their market in Pe:idle:on will contain over 75 per cent, of tiir; and grease. Ot course, Mr. Jud-I tays, the closer proximity to the sheep range of a scouring m li is always the greater advan tage, and in this regard Pendleton is well situated. Wool is in excellent condition this year, and t'lere is a betur outlook for tbe market tbtnlast year; but he says it will take som - time before tbe product will regain its former buoyancy. lind Transfers, May 3V UytoD to Nellie D.ytonj lots 1, 4, 5, 8. 0. 10 ami 11 Eist Bclmoat; $1.

The temoerature remained cold, and the excessive precip itation was undesirable for fail sown grain in the valleys, many of Which have been overflowed several times from the high water in the creeks. 1 be rains will benefit grass on the range and cause spring grain to sprout. Some fall sown wheat will have to be resown : some was winter killed. Apples, cherries, prunes aud apricots are blooming io favored places. Bloom is backward owing to tbe cool weather and the frosts which have frequently occurred tailed to injure. Lambing is progressing with slight loss. ' ' The Moving Mountain. . The greatest oddity on the western coast is the "moving mountain of Colum bia river," says the St. Paul Dispatch. This geographical curiosity is no minia ttire "landslide" of a few insignificant acres, but a veritable mountain ol first- class dimensions. Its height is about 2000 feet; it has eight miles of river frontage and three very prominent peaks. That it is slowly but surely moving into the treat Salmon river is a th ugbt that probably nev.r suggested itself to the casual observer, but accurate measure ments taken by civil engineers of high repute have established the fact that such is the case beyond a reasonable dout. anu luav ia iue vuurse oi lime u win dam the river so as to form a a,k.e ex-? tending from the cascades to the dalles. In Us forward movement tbe mountain has carried the forests which formerly fringed tbe base of the ridge far out into the river, and it is a curious sight to see tbe giant trees standing bolt upright in the water, in somn instances with their trunks entirely submerged. The railroad bed which skirts tbe mountain at this point has been forced out of liue nearly twenty leet in tbe last eight years. If In dian traditions and legends are to be taken into account, the "sliding mount ain" is not moving nearly so fast now as it was years ago in times previous to the white man'a advent in those regions. Valuable Mine. Kiddle enterprise. George Carter, tbe Canyooville merchant, sent fourteen ounces of gold dust to the mint Wednesday evening. The dast was purchased of Dan Ballenbaugh, and loots' op just forty ounces taken from the"Bolieu- baugh Placer mine thia winter, and it will reauire several days yet to complete the spring clean np. This is not so bad remu- l-neration for two men to realize from about four months work with a small giant and licht head of water. The dnst taken from this mine averages about $10 per ounce and the total output will aggregate $1000 for the winter's ran Toere is no doabt hun dreds of acres of this phenomenally rich placer grouud between this place and Can yonville, yet cannot be profitably worked for want of water. Were this valuable ground located in California instead of Ore goo, not a single season would pass before a flame like tbe one projected by W. C. Stanley would be an accomplished fact. Dead by tne Road Side Deputy Sheriff K. C. Smith, of Baker City, found the dead body of a man last Wednesday by tbe road side at the month of Blue canyon, about euht miles south of that place. Tbe following particulars are from the Democrat: The gent eman was returning from AubnrL, where he had been on omcial bust nes?. and when passing the point above mentioned he was bailed by Mrs. T. A, McPnerton, who stated that a runaway team had just passed up the road aud as the driver had to; been seen she fetred that he waa injured. Mr, Smith at once commenced searciitig fr the man and in removing SJine hay which lay near the demolished wagon he was horrified upon exposing the dead body of a man. It was a ghastly sight The deceased's head bad strack a rock and his brains dashed oat. The body was still warm, but there was no sign of lite. The unfortunate n.ao arrived in the city Tuesday evening and pat his team op at the California feed stable. He told the pro prietor, Air. James Uarron, that he was from Wallowa cinnty and was on his way to Wiao moca, Nevada, at which place he formerly resided. It u aaid that early in the evening be visited a questionable resort. and after partiog with $90 of his money he left the honss in an intoxicated condition and sppnt the remainder of the night dnok ng in various saloons. It is not known how muoh money be was relieved of, bat there was only $1 25 found on hi body. Die description ot me man in death was as follows: Aged 5i years; be-giit, five feet ten inches; grey hair and sandy mustache sprinkl-d with grey; the thumb and little finger of the right hand were gone; tattoed ring mark ou second finger of the left hand witn set ot ring aiamoud shape; wore a brown chinchilla coat and vest, o'd, and blue overalls inside ot custom made boots. The following is the verdict of the cor oner s jury: lo the matter of the inqutst of believed to be John Warren, his. true name being unknown to the jury, we the jury, being empaneled and duly sworn to ioquire into tbe death of deceased, find that he came to his death by being thrown from his wag on and striking upon his head in a piie of rocks about eight miles from Biker City on the Auburn road, caused by his team be coming frightened and running away. We farther find that no blame can be attached to anyone." Xne Real Victim. The cry ot "stop thief" has often been used by the real culprit to facilitate his escape, and a joke has been rehearsed by the victim to attract attention to aa inno cent person. We are informed that this is the true status of afiairs with the per son who gave the information about bis companion being taken to Crate's point Sunday morning on the train which had the Coxeyites on board. While stopping at the depot these gentlemen stepped on tbe caboose,-and Marshal Grady recog nized tbe one who stepped oil tbe train below town; but the other he coull not identify and took him to Portland be- lieviug him to be one of the "indus trials," and he was con flood to tbe box car until 10 o'clock that morning. He made several attempts to proye that he bad nothing to do with the Troutdale afiair, but his efforts availed nothing. Fortunately an acquaintance told the U. S. marshal that the prisoner was not of the traia-stealers, aud after considerable importunities and protestations of Inno cence be was given his liberty He does not relish being asked about bis experi ences with tbe "commouweals," and pos itively denies that he was "one of them." The John Day is Booming. Fossil Journal. The John Day ia again past high water mark, doing damage to property right .along. The Griffith family have again been compelled to move out of their home. Parsons' ferry is off duty and bo is Clarno's and Charlie Clarno'a steam boat has again been pressed into service to cross the mails and passengers. The settlers on the river have lost most of their old hay, and the outlook for a crop this year is not very flattering, as it will be rather late in the season before the land now inundated will be dry enough to admit cultivation. Johnnie Clarno has saved some hay, bat his orchard has suffered severely from the flood, many of his trees having been washed down. Peaslee & McAllister's ranch is reported to be ruined, two great canals having been t-ut through it and the arable land being covered with rocks and gravel. We are informed that Mr. Peaslee in tends to abandon the ranch. HARM HEBE, Prs5toi :.

May 3 At 10:30 this morning, as the regular freight train going north was ready to pull out from this place, about 65 tramps clambered upon the cars aod refused to get off or pay fare. Tbe trainmen fiudiag they cou d not put them off, called npon Sheriff Miller for help. Tbe sheriff went with tbe conductor aod ordered iliem off the train. When tbe conductor h or dered them away they weie very threat ening, and bad armed themselves with stones for resistance. But when tbe sher iff appeared wilb the conductor and or dered them off tbe cars they complied, though reluctantly. They had said to tbe conductor that the; were determined to go on the train, for tbey could get no more food at Roseburg. Tbe trainmen of the Southern Pacific bve orders in all such cases to call on the lawful an thonties for help, so as to prevent the use of their trains by tramps wanting to move from ooe part of the country to an other.
