Sr , a pioneer of 1852, died at hi borne in this oity on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 25, 1894, at the advanced age of 93 years. He bad been ill only a short time.

Her husband sacked the blood from the finger that waa bitten, but in spita of that it became rap idly swollen, tbe swelling extending to the band and arm. The next morning she was brought to town and Drs. Stowell and Stew art consulted, who both pronennced tbe bite a very dangerous one. There were indica tions that blood poison wonld set in which would greatly add, to tbe danger of the bite. A. Traveling- Mauntale. The following is the latest story of tbe moving mountain near tbe Cascades: A traveling mountain is found at tbe Casoade of the Columbia, says Gold wait's Geographical Magazine. It .is a triple- peaked mass of dark brown basalt, six or eight mile3 in length where it fronts the river, and rises to a height of almost 2000 feet above tbe water. That it is in motion is the laet thought that wonld be likely to suggest itself to tbe mind ot any one pass ing it; yet it is a well eetab lihei fast that this entire mountain is moving, slowly bat steadily, down to the river, as if it bad ; deliberate purpose some time in the future to dam the Columbia and form a great lake from the Cascade to Tbe Dallas. In it forward and downward movement the forest along the base of tbe ridge has become submerged in the river. Large tree stumps can be seen standing dead ia the water 00 thi (bore. Tbe railway engi neers and brakeman find tbat tbe line of railway tbat skirts tbe foot of tbe moun tain ia being continually forced ont of place. At certain point tbe permanent way and rails have been poshed eight or ten feet out of line in a few years. Geol gists attrihute thi strange phe nomenon to the fact that the basalt, wbicb constitute the bulk of tbe mountain, rest" on a sub.tratum of conglomerate or soft andatone, which the deep, awift current of tbe mighty river is constantly wearing away, or tbat this softer su brock is of itselt yie'aing at great aeptns to the enormous weight of the harder mineral above. - Xbe Senator Hakes a Cnmpiete Report i f His Actions while to Cungrrss. Yesterday afternoon, on the arrival ot the train from P.irtland. Senator Dolph was met by the committee on reception and ea corted to the hotel. He spent the time until evening in renewing old acquaintances in tbe city, and giving an attentive ear to all those wbo desired to see him on any business pertaining to the public trust which has been reposed in bim for tbe past twelve year. About 8 o'clock the senator, preceded by The Dalles braaa band, and accompanied by members of the committee on reception, walked to the oourt house, which was well filled with ladies and gentleman, who had come to listen to the senator. After one or more selections had been played, Mr. John Michell introduced Senatot Dolph in a few brief remarks, enlog'zing the part he had taken regarding an open river, the prpmi nent positirn be held in the senate and his nntiring effort in favor of the bett interests of hia constituents and tbe manly battle he bad waged in favor of protection. The senator, on taking the floor, gave a thorough at d exhaustive description of the position he had taken in reference to publics improvements in Oregon, and especially tntrarda orjenina the Co!nmbia river as a channel of commerce for produceis and ship pers. Appropriation had been received for the month of the river sufficient to com plete the jetties now begun, and already there is thirty feet of water at low tide in the channel. The bugbear of tbe bar at the mouth of the Columbia no longer exists, and the shipping facilities will enhance the price of wheat and wool to tbe producers of all portions cf Oregon. Jn a little while thin improvement will be completed, ana con gress baa giyen all tbe aid necessary. A matter of great interest to the people of this vicinity was tbe locks at tbe Cascades, . and these hid been let by contract and tbe amount necessary ti finish them had been voted by congress. The senator was sorry to leam from Major Post that the late flood had demonstrated tbe fact tbat there mus be an additional lock at a probable cost of $160,000; but this would not interfere witn the work now in .operation. Toe Oregon delegation would be forced to use aa exti effort to get this amount from congress, bat they would be successful. At the first he understood the importance ot an open river from the moat remote nayigable waters of tbe Columbia to the ocean, and this wonld r-quire some project to overcome the imped itnents to navgation between this city and Celilo. After consulting with eugineers be was satisfied a biat railway would be the most feasible means, and the board of gov ernment engineers appointed to investigate the matter reported in favor ot tbis plan, On two different occasions be had secured appropriations for thia improvement, but both of these were defeated in the house The last time be was met by M? Paul Mjhr, wbo did everything possible to ren der futile his effort in this direction. For three weeks be bad to contend against hia obstructing influence, and finally came to the conclusion that he was aiting in tbe in terest of some railroad corporation. Tbe last report of the board of engineers was cot unfavorable to a ship railway, and be iog a member of tbe committee to whom tbe matter was referred, be secured an ap propriation of $100,000 for tbe beginping of the work. He is satisfied tbat in two year it will be pnt nnder the contract system, and in about five years river craft from Idaho will bs able to transport freight to the ocean without breaking cargo, lnis esti mate for tbe boat railway is JJOO.OOO oheaper than tbe former one, and it fa to be built 03 the Oregon side. These are ad vantage over tbe former report ot tbe beards of engineers. Tbe boat railway will cost something oyer 2,0 00,030, while the canal could not be constructed for double the amount, and would take a generation to complete. Co ogress would give no consid eration to a portage road, wbicb wenld be of little benefit to shippers. In refereose to the forfeiture of railroad land grants the senaor spoke of his record on the matter and referred to the one of the 3. P. R. B. from Portland to Astoria and cf the Wallula-Portland, which bas re verted to the pub'ia domain, and on which settlers have all the rights guaranteed to citizen. The grant to wagon road had been placad in such a position tbat title to the land weald be settled at the expense of tbe government, and this . is all that could be expected. He announced himself in favor of tbe Nicaragua canal, and the great benefit that would accrue therefrom to the producers of the Pacific coast. Ia a concise manner be told what had been done ia regard to the canal, and the history of tbe project. The senator spoke for about an boar and a balf and kept bis audienoe interested dur ing tbe whole time. ' He did not touch in the least on political mitters, aud spoke only of those subjects in which the people of all parties are directly interested. Tbe people were attentive throughout the speech, and frequently showed their appreciation by applause. crops have been secured in the heat con dition.

The Salem Statesman snys: A pioneer lady with an interesting bastorv died at Eu gene a few days ago and was buried Sunday, She waa Mrs. A. A. Skinner, and was one of five lady aohool teacheta sent here from Vermont by tbe governor of that atate in 1851 with tbe self-sacrificing aim of civiliz ing this far-away barbarous region. Her name was Lincoln, and after teaching school a tew years she married Judge A. A. Skin ner, then a territorial judge, who died some year ago, leaving her a widow, which she faithfully remained. Ex-Oav. Z. F. Moody went to Eugene at.d attended ber funeral He was in tbe same company with her which came aroond the isthmua of Panama 43 year ago. Those nve young ladies had a remarkable career and played an impor tant part in the building up of Oregon, so cially and politically, showing tbat they had the shrewdoecs and Yankee gumption of the right ssrt. One of them married Governor Giin-'s, another married Jce Wil son, afterward a congressman, and anather married Alar-son Beers, one of the early Methodist missionary settler and prominent in tbe government affairs of these days, and another married Frank McLench, also prom inently connected. Probable Suicide. Last evening' Albany Democrat bas the following additional particular about tbe man found dead in that city Monday night: Mr. Burnham came from Portland on Friday and registered at tbe St. arlea He had formerly boarded with Mr. Giblin at Cbrvallia. There are two version of the matter, one that the man was murdered, and the other that be committed suicide. The latter is probably the correct one. Burnham had been despondent and bad remarked in tbe morning that he was about broke and didn't know what be should do. Last year be worked in Chicago on the fair buildings, and had contrasted rheumatism. which was troubling bim, as well aa a chronic case of neuralgia. His position when found showed there had been no struggle, the revolver had evidently been thrown over his bead as he fell back on the ground, and he probably cried out as if for help. He probably bad not been carrying a watch. The weight of evjJenoe ia deoid- edly on the aide of snioide, and in fact there is little doubt on tbe lubjdct. Burnham was nearly 50 yetrs of age. He waa tingle, and is well spoken of by Corvallis men wbo knew bim in tbat city.

Following is crop-weather bulletin, No. 22, of the Oregon state weather service, for the week ending MoDday, September 24, 1894, by S. M. Bland ford, observer: EASTKBN OBOOEN. Weather: The temperature averaged each day five degrees warmer than the normal and there was also a total ab sence of precipitation. The sunshine was more than the average. Crops in the Columbia and Walla Walla valleys : The grain crop has been threshed, with a few exceptions. The condition of the grain is excellent owing to the favorable weather. Average yields are generally reported. The grain is rapidly being hauled to the railroads, though the prices are ,very low. Notwithstanding the low price of wheat preparations are being made for seeding a, large crop fqr next year. There is a fair yield of potatoes, more than an average in gome sections of Wasco county. There is a large crop of apples and a light one of peaches. Fruit aa a rule baa ripened slowly.. Stock is in fine condition. Thia has been a suc cessful crop year as to yields an all Gloystein P t Murdered. East Oregenlan. Chariea F. Gloystein, a farmer living near Mica, Spokane county. Wash., who mysteriously disappeared from his home July 30, and was believed by many to have been murdered by political enemies is ahve-and well. He ia working on a farm near Moro, Sherman county, Oregon. Hia whereabouts were dis covered by Sheriff Pugh, who met Goy- stein and established his identity beyond doubt. Sheriff Pugh droye to the place where Goyatein was working and called out: "Charley Gloystein is that you" "Mac. Mac, my God, my God " ex 1 claimed Gloystein. He cried like a child and made a full confession, in which he admitted that he opened the window of his bedroom and rapped on the house. Mrs. Gloy stein in her bedroom down stairs, heard the rapping and called to her hoe band He also admits that he put blood upon his hat and threw it in the road. He walked across the country to Colfax, disguising himself by shaving his mus tache and wearing glasses. There he boarded a freight train going to The Dalles. From Tbe Dalles he went back into the country and worked pn a hay ranch. Afterward he went to Moro and secured employment. He tried to ex cuse himself by saying he was made afraid of his life by the actions of the populists, who had hung him in effigy and put up threatening placards. Gloy stein refused to return with the sheriff, and said if his wife would come to him he would go far away and make a new start in life, Mrs. Gloystein, who moved to Spokane, is eager to take hack her runaway husband. The affair fias created widespread intereat all oyer the northwest. mierceling to Women Settlera. A decision which will be read with inter est by women settlers all over tbe northwest ha been received at the local laud office at Walla Walla. One ot the moat important points covered is in tbe cate of E. V. Nix vs. Mary J. Simon, an Oklahoma woman, whose husband was still alive when she at tempted to prove np on ber claim. Secre tary Hoke Smith deoided in her favor and declare tbat deserted wive have alwava been permitted a bead of familits to mate homestead entries. The wives of insane men have tbe same privilege; and therefore where a woman' husband is totally disabled by age, disease or infirmity from doing any mental or physical work, and the phyjioiana pronounce such infirmity permanent, the wife, as the bead of a family which n ust depend on her for support, is entitled to a homestead. Another Important ruling In that atate is that selection of lands within or in close preximity to mineral land must be gov erned by tbe sama rules ai the selection of railway companies' lands under the tame circumstance. - - .

Railroad Accident The west-bound O. R. & N . Co.'a train met with so accident west ai the lopg tun nel, cear Meaciium, last Tuesday night which caused the engine to leave the track and from which Engineer Watson received injuries wbicb may prove fatil. From passenger it ia leirned that the tram in passim over a trestle struck a borae which it carried for distance of 200 feet under tbe front end of the engine, when the loco motive became derailed on a aeaond trestle, It seems that Mr. Vatscn jumped out of the locomotive or wai thrown out by sadden jar. Be was foqnd banging be tween the ties ot tne second trestle, in au oneouacioua condition, his bead aod face braised, his jaws broken and riaht arm fractured. As soon as possible tbe engineer was extricated from hia poaitinn and the locomotive placed qo the (rack. M,r. Wat- sin was taken to at, Alary'a hospital in Walla Walla, and a surgical examination pronounced bis woandi very dangerous. Ft. and at Iaat. A Miasou'a, Montanna, dispatch of Toes day states (hut the Mistoifliaft publishes th. partioalara of the recovery and bqrial of the remains ot Ueorge Colgate, the deserted cook of the notorious hunting party headed by Wm. E. Carhn, too of General Carlin, late commander of the Department of tbe Columbia. ' The discovery was made Aug nst 23, by Lieutenant Elliott, eight mjlea below the spot where the desertion occurred on the Clearwater riyer. . Ail that remained of Colgate's body waa the thigh bone and one leg. - These were mangled and gnawed by wild beaata.- At the same spot also was found a match box, fishing lines and other articles identified as Colgate's property Lieutenant Elliott was sent oqt on this mission by Gmeral Otis, present oommaqder of the Colombia, to which office he makes fall report, there beiag many points tend ing to prove Colgate's desertion by tbe Cajlin party was cowardly. Tornado 1st the Soattu A few days ago tbe weather bureau at Washington City warned tbe people pf the southern United Hlates of the ap- droach ot a storm from Cuba. The warn ing was heeded and in good time. Dis patches from the east stale the fact that a tornado is passing through Florida to. day at tbe rate of 75 miles ap hour. Towns are being blown down and forests demolished. A tidal wave js sweeping up from the ocean and submerging low lands and islands.

Hos and Wheat. From present indications it appears as if it is a little doubtful whether the farm ers of this section, says the Elgin Recorder, are going to get money for their wheat at any prise, unless they feed it to hogs, as there noesn't appear to be any . grain buy era in the market here and it need not create any surprise if none appear, or if they do tbe price offered will most likely be no more than enough to pay the expense of harvesting and baaliog. If a farmer has bogs to feed his grain to, and has them ready for market in the near future, be 'standi a good chance of getting a fair price for his grain, as the present price for hozs makes it far more profitable to teed . wheat to them than to sell it for what there is any probability of its bringing in tbe grain market.
