- The Hillsboro Independent says: The
Populists are fond of using the term,
"gold bug," but it don't seem to be an

possessed of great wealth. To illustrate ;
One would hardly be justified in saying
that a man having a large stock of pot
toes is a potato bug, nor would one poa
aeasiog a great herd of bogs be a sowbug,
nor yet is a large dealer in furniture
properly bedbug.

tion was deficient, except about the aver
age alone the oolumbia aad ia the Walla

sunshine was about the average.
Crops Iu the Columbia riyer valley
they are still promising. Wheat is mak
ing its usual rapid growth. It is noticed
in some sections that wheat is changing
c dor slightly prematurely, which is at
tributed to the constant cool weather dur
ing the past fifteen days. The soil has suf
ficient moisture from which an abundant
harvest of cereal and grass crops should
mature. The desire is for warmer weather,
if not too warm to D irch the crop. Seed
ing of spring grain is practically com
pleted. Farmers are plowing summer
tallow and some of them bave finished,
The fruit crop is sale, not hiving suffered
any da&iage from the frosts. Some straw
berry bloom was injured. Gardens are
Ueiug planted. Lamoing is progressing
successfully : the loss is reported slight.
The outlook is for abundant crops which
will mature slighllv later than the aver
age time.
Crops in the interior counties made
alow Droirre.as duriag the past week due
to cool temperatures and frosty nights.
Fruit trees are blooming in nearly all
sections. In favored Diacei the bloom is
thicklv set and prolific. No bloom has
been injured by trout except peaches; the
bloom was caught iu a critical state of
pollenation and the damage will be con
aiderable ia some sectoas. Spring grain
is coining up in some localities. Seeding
continues and gardening is progressing
The cool weather has not beea favorable
to the germination of garden seeds and
grain. Warmer weather is desired to ad'
vance the crops.

Wheat 'teams are coming into Arlington
like fall of the year, eaya the Arlington

prices have improved somewhat, besides the
promise of the largest yield of whes we

their granaries. This, with the wool that

Judge Biakeley occupied the chair, and
stated tbe object of the meeting to be the
adoption of some plan by which the roads to
this city in the neighborhood of the Ante
lope country could be improved.
Mr. J O. Farley then addressed tbe meet
ing and stated tbe importance ot harmony
of lotion la the matwr, sod of something
bt-ing done immediately.
Mr. J. H. Sherar waa present, and, by
request, made a tt'l statement of the diffi
culties! encountered at that point, and how
it could be improved by the construction of
a new grade. He ia thoroughly acquainted
wiih that portion of the country, and, aa
every one knows, is a yery competent road
builder Toe expense would be somewhere
in tbe neighborhood of (100Q.
The chair stated that the conuty court
could donate $300 to this project from the
public road fund, and tae balance, he
thought, could be raised by subscription
among citizens of The Dalles. '
On motion a committee was appointed,
consisting of E C. Pease, J. T. Peters, H.
J. Maier and J. P. Mcluerny to caovess the
city for the purpose of soliciting subscrip
tions to this fund, wlieiti on he meeting
adjourned.
Daring; Safe Robbery.
Tbe most uaring robbery ever committed
in te town JJufur happened last night,
and in the atore of Johnston Bros., the
leading merchants of tbat place. This
morning, aboot 5 o'clock, when these gen
tlemen opened their place of bnaioess they
were surprised to find the interior in a very
recked condition. The large iron door of
the Hall safe had been blown about six or
eight feet distant against a desk, which it
had nearly completely demolished. Oo ex
amining farther tbey found clear evidence
of the robbery. The safe had been bored
into from the top, and in this bole had been
placed a very heavy charge of powder. It
could not be definitely ascertained at what
time the robbery bad taken place, but tbe
report of the discharge was heard soon after
midnight by persons in the town. Sacks of
wheat and flour had been placed around the
safe to deaden the sound, and cord wood be'
hind it to save it from beiog thrown off its
taod. There were about $40 in the till of
the safe, and this had been pried out and
the money taken. The cash drawer in tbe
counter was pulled ont, and all the dimes
and nickels taken therefrom. As soon as
the extent of the robbery was ascertained,
Messrs. O. W. and T. H. Johnston started
out to tra;k the robbers. Their foot pnnts
could be plainly seen in the road, both
coming and going. The-e could he clearly
discerned at far aa Eight Mile, when one of
tbe robbers had left the road and walked in
the grass. There were two men engaged in
the robbery, and these must have had some
knowledge of the interior of tbe store. It
fortunate that Johnston Bros, left less
money iu the safe last night than for a long
time, aad the robbery coull not have been
executed at a more opportune time for the
firm. The time taken in drilling the hole
in the top of the safe, piling the cord wood
behind it and covering it with the aacba of
wheat and flour must have been considera
ble, and aome hours must baye elapsed from
the time tbey began nntil they completed
their operations. Aside from the foot
prints in the road there is no clue whatever
to the robbers.

Flny-HlBei Cader Arrest.
North Yaejxa, May 10 Fifty-nine
of tbe common wealers were arrested late
this afternoon while encamped near the
city. Tbey marched under a heavy guard
of deputy United States marshals, armed
with Winchesters, to tbe county jtil
fuese were some of tbe men wb cap
tured the train last night and bad the
encounter with tbe marshals. Tbey will
be taken on a special traia tonight to
Seattle to be tried in the Unite! States
court before Judge H nlord. A number
of citizens bave also been arrested
charged with inciting tbe commooweal
era to resistance, and warrants are in tbe
bands of tbe marshals for others. Those
already arrested are:

merly register of tbe land office: Nat
Yates, an ex-police officer; J. P. McCaf
terty, ex -city marshal; Tom Lund, a sa
loon keeper; F. S. Davis, a barber, and a
negro bootblack.
While some of those arrested may
bave been indiscreet iu the beat of ex
citement, tbe warrants were issued
mainly on rumors, and it is extremely
doubtful if there are any grounds for ac
tion in more tban one or two cases. Tbe
citizens deeply deplore tbe unfortunate

Woodmen Aoejlabl,
The social entertainment gir n by Ut,
Hood Camp, Woodman of the World,
last evening i Fraternity hall, attracted
a large attendance. There were about
200 present, comprising members of the
camp, their wives and families and in
vited guests. The exercises were very
entertaining, and all present appeared to
enjoy themselves. Among the numbers
worthy of especial mentidn were a reci
tation of a campmeeting sermon by Mr,
Robert Mcintosh, and a song by 1 ttle
Lota Kelsay, which waa excellently ren
dered for one so young. After the pro
gramme was ended a bountiful refrection
was served, and after all were satisfied
there was enough left for as many more.
The floor was then cleared, and to the
strains of music the merry dance kept
up until a seasonable hour-
