bibiting that man as a freak " The owner
came to this office aud got his umbrella.
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.

Out In tne Storm,
The Eugene Register says: Shtd-ly Gar
rison, a son of K. 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

ing of the advantages of a scounng mili Mr.

be enormous byreason of tnis establishment.
and he things there will I e a million pounds
more wool bandied in that city than hereto
fore. 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.

Crop-Wrather Bulletin.
The following is the report for Kastern
Oregon for' the wee'i ending Tuesday,
May 1. 1891. by S. M. Blandlord, ob
server weather bureau :
Weather Cooler than the average tem
perature aud excessive precipitation were
the weather conditions last week which
were prominent. - Frosts occurred fre
quently in the iaterior counties. Tb
sunshine was below tbe average.
Crops In the Columbia river valley
crops have bad no unfavorable weather
conditions to prevent thdir rapid growth.
A constant improvemeut is noticeable.
Cheerful reports are received from all.
The fall wheat crop bios fair to realize
the expectations of all classea concerned.
Fall wheat covers the grouud in Uma
tilla county and the vpring seeding is
coming up. The grouud has an abund
ance ot moisture. While the tempera
ture has beeu cool it bus not checked tbe
growth of grasses or have tbe light frosts
injured fruit bloom. -One report states
some damage done by squirrels, and also
notes tbe growth ol weeds in some wheat
fields. Grain and fruit praspects are
good, ev'.n flattering in many sections.
Garden Work is
progressing. Many po-
tatoes have been planted. Seeding spring
grain is Being completed in mauy sec
tions. In some counties tbe average cop
has been sown aud in others there has
beeu a falling off.
Crops in the interior coualies made a
slow growth lust week. 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.

Obeyed the Sheriff.
Robeburg. 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.
