No. 6, 1. O- O. F., last evening committee of five was appointed to make the necesBarv arrangements lor a cele bration of April 26th, the seventy-sixth anniversary of the institution of Odd b el lowship in the United States. Columbia Lodue is one the oldest Odd Fellows1 lodges in the state, and its annual cele brations of the anniversary of the insti tutionof the order are very interesting, The fad of sending people and things on around the world and across the continent tours will sotm be too com mon to be interesting. In the express car on Tuesday s train southward on the Southern Pacific was a lady's slip per, or low-cut shoe, which had traveled all the way from Rhode Island. Express messengers and agents along its tour had tagged it until there were inscriptions enough upon it to nil a newspaper page. The cdst of producing wheat in Ar gentine is 35 to 40 cents a bushel. The cost of producing wheat in Eastern Oregon is from 28 to 31 cents a bushel, The reason why the Eastern Oregon farmer cannot compete with, the Ar gentine farmer is because the latter is closer to the world's markets than the Eastern Oregon farmer; but the Nicar agua canal completed will more than overcome all difficulties and differ ences. The civil authorities of Washington county bid fair to break up one of the boldest robber gangs ever known in - that section. For several years petty burglaries have been frequent and numerous throughout the vicinity be tween Scappoose and the Yamhill county line. It has seemed to have been almost impossible to make con victions, owing to the shrewd work of the organization, mow me nas oeen put into the effort to bring the leaders to justice. Mrs, William Odell and children re turned to Oregon last Saturday from Missouri. ' Mrs. Odell was dissatisfied with this country, and about the first of the-year with her children returned to her old home in Missouri, and Mr. Odell expected to go back as soon as he got his business so arranged that he could, but as soon as Mrs. Odell got back and saw how things were, she wrote right back to Mr. Odell not to come. Fossil Journal. The Japanese soldier may be drilled into the semblance of his European model, both in uniform and maneuvers, but he keeps his own characteristics just the same. He marches without . flags or music, awakes without the re veille, goes to his meals or drill with out drum or bugle. He is stoic with no sentimental speeches or ballads about home, but only a fierce sense of patriotism, as shown in the (tenant and bloodthirsty songs of the present cam paign. The Japanese are " excellent for artillery work, but comparatively , poor mariismen witn small arms. From Monday! Daily. Our new dress. Yesterday was Palm Sunday. The weather is simply delightful. Rain will be acceptable to the farm ers. -. Mr. M. Callaghan, of Dufur, is in the city. Hon. A. R. Lyle, of Crook county, ' is in the city. A full line of Men's Sweaters just received at A. M.

He has been greatly benefited by his vacation. The daily Times-Mount aineeb was six years old last Saturday, and entering on its seventh it has donned a new dress and grown larger. - The la grippe, which has been almost epidemic here ior several weens, is . gradually subsiding, and all the afflic ted ones are able to attend to their usual business. The new captain of the Salvation Army,in charge of the barracks in this city, has received a very cordial wel come from the members. Last night the room was crowded, and the exer cises were inspiring and entertaining. , Articles of incorporation were filed today of the Antelope Water Company.

There were seventy head received at noon and forty more were expected this after noon. These will be shipped to Trout dale as soon as they can be placed on the cars. Mr. M. J. Anderson, of Dufur, has been reading Blackstone for some time, and is making good progress in his studies. He has just finished the "Rule in Shelly's Case," and last Sat urday took out from our library "Thoughts on the Book of Daniel, by U. Smith." He believes this will be a rest for his brain. It will be all right if he is not troubled by frightful visions after mixing law and the prophets in such a conglomerate mass. There were two arrests made last njght by the police force, and these were disturbed in hours of revelry on the streets, induced by drinking deep of the "flowing bowl." This morning they were interviewed by the recorder, and each fined in the sum of $5, which they paid, and left happy and con tented. Gov. Lord, Secretary Kincaid and Treasurer Metschan passed up the road Friday evening to Union, where they will make the necessary arrangements about the purchase of the grounds and the erection of the building for the branch insane asylum. They are ex pected to return some time today, when they will go by the boat to Portland. FromTuesday's Dailv; April showers. The river is rising slowly. A refreshing shower fell last night.

In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending April 8, 189S. Weather- From .10 to .50 of precipi tation occurred during the past week. As in Western Oregon, snow fell on the 4th. The maximum temperatures ranged from 46 to 74 degrees in the Columbia river valley and from 34 to 62 degrees to the south thereof. The minimim temperatures ranged from 30 to 48 degrees in the valley and from 22 to 35 degrees to the south. Frosts were general and heavy on the 5th and 6th. On the 2d a heavy gale occurred in the northeast counties doing slight damage to insecure buildings and rais ing a dense cloud of dust. Since Fri day warmer and fair weather has pre- vailed. Crops No damage is reported from frost, though some are of the opinion that damage was done, but it is impos sible to state at this writing the amount or if any real damage resulted. Lettuce, radishes, onions and aspara gus of local growth are in the market at The Dalles. The soil is very dry and not in fit condition to be worked. yet farmers are pushing their spring plowing and seeding. Fall-sown grain is growing, but would be improved by rain and warm weather with less wind. Some re-sowing is necessary in por tions of Umatilla county owing to win ter freeze-outs. Lambing continues with a large percentage of lambs saved; larger percentage than usual in fact. The fruit trees are blooming in the immediate Columbia river , valley, but to the south no bloom yet appears though the buds are swelling. Gen eral rain will be necessary to the suc cessful growth of the cereal crop, from now until July 1st. APRIL IN PAST YEARS. In 1887, general frosts ocourred in Oregon as late as the 18th; rainfall was excessive; ground wet and spring late; warm, dry weather began May 15th, and the warmest day on record was the 29th. In 1888, April was dry and warm. Damaging frosts occurred until the 8th. Strawberries were ripe on the 25th; new potatoes dug on 30th. April 1889 was dry- and warm and early. April 1890 was cold and rainy. and vegetation backward, Peaches were slightly damaged by frosts pn 11th and 12th. April 1891 was normal vegetation, late but healthy and prom ising. April 1892 had frosts to the 20th; season late; fruit trees' bloomed by the 15th, except in the Columbia river valley. April 1893 was cold . and wet with frequent frosts and snow in the stock country. April 1894 had normal temperature, but deficient rainfall; frosts did some damage on 16th and 17th. Fruit was in bloom by the 10th. B. S, Pague, Director. Earning in Common. From a resident of Dufur we learn that a new organization has been started in our neighboring burg. The only kind of an organization that can possibly do the work that is aimed at by all reform organizations.- The principles of the new lodge are all pointed at equality of all men, and this is secured by bonds and oaths that make all members come in every Sat urday night and put their earnings in a common "pot," then a dividend is declared, and every member gets his proportion whether he works or not. The main difficulty in Dufur has been that men join and then quit work. So far has this feature gone that twenty five members divided forty cents last meeting. Fish Wheels. The array of fish wheels on the beach above the city presents quite an imposing appearance, and with the wire netting look like birds . of flight who are waiting for the oppor tunity to fly with their own wings. For some time eqtensive preparations have been made for the fishing season, and the wheels and boats have been thoroughly repaired. It is not ex pected that many fish will be in the river until the June freshet, and then these boats, which are high and dry now, will float and be ready for busi ness. The fleet of fish wheels will be quite large this season, and the salmon run ia expected to be very good. GOOD-BYE, OLD FRIEND. Bidding Good- Bye to Old Associates Sometimes Sad, Sweet Sorrow. Last Saturday we bid good bye to the old type in the Times-Mount-AINEER, which had done good service for us for long years, and we felt like shaking the hand for the last time of an old and faithful friend. Every mood of the editor- has been put into living, burning words by the old type, which now occupy an honored grave in boxes which are given a profane name in printing offices. In our hours of joy these little pieces of metal have voiced our gladness, and in seasons of sorrow they have expressed our sad ness. To friends they have given a cordial welcome, and to enemies they have given vent to feelings of anger. And now, standing over the grave of our departed friend, we only wish that every sentiment of animosity which, perhaps, ill-advised words have cre ated, could lie with them buried from sight and from recollection. But if generosity causes us to make this con cession, yet we have nothing to re tract, and perhaps would have said the same words if we had to relive the last fifteen years over. The type have been honest; they have been faithful ser vants, and prompt messengers of thought. At times they may have lacerated sore spots or burned fiery words into sensitive souls; but they have only done as. directed, and have been subservient to the will- of him who held the quill. To the editor they have been his closest companions, and for six years he has talked to them daily from his soul and mind. rThey have been a faithful impression of his thoughts during this time every day, and their condition, whether of dull ness or of cleverness, have been faith fully portrayed. But they have served their purpose, and have been laid away, in a. little while to be forgotten and be changed into a different mate rial substance, a symbol of the fate of him who now writes this, and of others who are in active life. Associations are not easily forgotten, and they twine themselves around the soul as though they were living, sentient be ings. For this reason, as we bend over the prostrate forms of our old messengers, a shade of sadness comes over us, and with feelings akin to re gret we say: "Farewell, old friend, farewell." held up. A Man Robbed In His House in Sher man County. Mr. A. Gilmour, who lives Yibout a mile east of Emigrant Springs in Sher man county, was held up at the muzzle of a Winchester last Thursday night in his house and forced to give up every cent he had on his person. He was alone in the house at the time as his wife has been east for several months. About half-past 8 o'clock on the evening mentioned Mr. Gilmour heard a noise at the door, and, on opening it was accosted by a man who held a gun at his head and asked him to give up what money he had. Gilmour hunted his pockets and found 90 cents in coin which he handed over. The fellow told him to open his trunk, and "shell out" the money he had hidden, emphasizing the request with a kick. The trunk was unlocked, and the different articles of wearing appearal taken out; but nothing valuable was found. ' This ap peared to make the robber furious, and as each garment was shaken to prove that no money was concealed he would administer furious kicks to Mr. Gil mour. After a thorough search of every place in the house without the least success, and administering more punishment to Gilmour, the robber de parted. Although heavily masked, and using every known effort to disguse his voice, Mr. Gilmour believes he knows the man. There will be a terrible reckoning with him some day, and he will regret the time he made the on slaught on a peaceable citizen. - A COLD-BLOODED MURDER. Cowlitz County Excited Over the Hilling of Homer Strait by Thomas Powell, ' His Son-ln-Law. , A dispatch from Kalama, Wash. April 8th, contains the following: Further particulars of the killing of Homer Strait by Thomas Powell, his son-in-law, show the murder to have been the coldest blooded one in the history of Cowlitz county. The men had had a, lawsuit over a piece of land in which Strait won, Last Monday Strait and a neighbor named Piper, while near Strait's house, were met by Powell and Strait's wife, who had been living apart from him. The woman accosted Strait with the remark that she had a row to pick with him. Powell then began cursing Strait, and drawing his pistol, fired a bullet which passed through Strait's body just above the stomach. Strait tried to knock the pistol ' out of Pow ell's hand, but the latter succeeded in firing four more shots, none of which took effect. All this time the woman was pounding Straight over the head with an oxgoad, tearing his scalp at every stroke. Piper finally separated the men and started for home with Strait, Powell then seized the oxgoad and running up to Strait, beat him into insensibility. SUICIDE AT SPOKANE. A Despondent Man Deliberately Takes ' His Own life by the Shotgun Method. Frank R. Dow committed suicide at Spokane Thursday by blowing his brains out. He was an easterner and came to Spokane three years ago to work in the Bank of Spakane Falls, then being operated by A. M. Cannon, He was a nephew of the late Mrs, Cannon. Of late he had nominally been engaged as a bondbroker, but his support has been by money received from the east. The suicide was care fully planned. Dow removed the coun terpane of his bed, spread it upon the floor and laid down on it. He then placed the muzzle of a Martin rifle be tween his teeth and pulled the trigger. -Biooo ana Drains were scattered over everything, and death must have been instantaneous. An examination of the rooms revealed the presence of dozens of empty morphine bottles, sev eral vials which had contained lauda num, and other drugs. A careful search failed to reveal any papers or letters giving a reason for the rash act. Not a cent of money was found. A CENTENARIAN. The Oldest Man In Oregon at Present Re sides in Marion County. Perhaps the oldest man in Marion county or in the western section of Oregon, says the Salem Statesman, is John Durbin, who resides with his son Solomon just east of Salem. The hale old man will be 101 years old this fall. He was born near Brownsville,Fayette county, Pa., September 13, 1794, and in 1800 moved with the family to Rich mond county, Ohio, where he was mar ried in J820 to Sarah Fitting. They I lived together until about two years ago, when she, at the age of 92 years passed to the other side. Of this union there were ten children. The family moved from Ohio to Hancock county, 111., in IS-ll', but in the same year moved to Clayton county, Mo., from which place they came to Marion county, Or., in the spring of 1845, where the family have since prospered and multiplied. Death of Rev. W. L. MacEvan. A dispatch was received this morn ing by Mr. W. H. Moody announcing the death of Rev. W. L. MacEwan in Portland last night of pneumonia, and that the funeral would probably take place' Monday. This was all the intel ligence that the dispatch contained, and the sad news is a matter of great surprise to the citizens of The Dalles, Rev. MacEwan was rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church in this city for many years, and by his uniform Christian conduct was universally esteemed in this community. He was married to Mrs. Laswell, a sister of Mrs. W. H. Moody of this city, and neice of Mr. E. B. McFarland of Portland. His death will be very much regretted by his many friends at The Dalles, and his widow and children will receive the heartfelt sympathy of the commu nity in their irreparable loss. The following further particulars of the sad event are copied from the Orego nionof this morning: Rev. W. L. McEwan, rector of st. Mark's Episcopal church, died last even ing at his home, 50 , Twentieth street, of pneumonia, after an illness of five days His death was quite unexpected for, al though he was very sick, his physicians at 6 o'clock last evening thought that he was improving He leaves a widow and three minor children Deceased was one of the best known Episcopal clergymen in the Northwest. He was a native of Oregon, having beea born at Clatsop. 42 years ago. His father, R. S. MacEwan, crossed the plains in 1851, and settled in Clatsop county, where he still resides Re. Mr. MacEwan was educated in California and the east, after graduating from Bit-hop Scott academy. After his ordination, he commenced work in Th'e Dalles, where he remained for eight years, afterward removing to Walla Walla, where he remained for one year. When St. Mark's parish was formed, eight years ago, be was called to take charge of the little chapel, and so suc cessful was he in his pastorate that it is teday one of the best known churches in the city No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, owing to the absence from the city of Bishop Morris, who was a very close friend of the deceased, and who will doubtless desire to look after the matter. Bishop Morris is expected home today. Stabbing Affray. Last night about half past 12 o'clock, 'a stabbing affray occurred in Stubling & Williams sample rooms, in which John Powers was stabbed in the back by a man named Valentine. Ai far as we can learn the facts are about as follows. Valentine came into the saloon in an in toxicated condition, and began using abusive epithets towards the barkeeper. This was not resented by him, but Mr, Powers told Valentine that be should not abuse the boy in that manner, and tried to persuade him to keep quiet. Apparently he became calm after this, and invited those present to take a drink with him. Then Powers went to him and said he should apologize to the bar keeper for insulting him. This appeared to make Valentine very angry, and he retorted that Powers could not make him apologize. He then drew a knife and made a lunge at Powers, striking him in the back near the hip. The barkeeper called to Powers at the time to be care ful that Valentine had a knife, and he soon realized that he was cut The blood flowed freely from Powers, and he was cared for by bis friends and Dr. Hollister called, who applied the usual surgical remedies. After an examination the wound was ascertained not to be serious and the only danger is from blood poison. ing " This is the first time that anything of the kind has ever happened in this saloon, as the proprietors are very care ful to keep an orderly house, and allow no disreputable ' characters to loiter around the place. Mr, Powers is a very peaceable man, and this quarrel was not his seeking. Afraid of Cyclones. The people of Long creek are afraid of cyclones since the terrible visitation they hadafew months ago, andwhenthe wind blew with great velocity, one day last week, many of the citizens took safety in their cellars thinking it was another cyclone. It did some dam age, and in the vicinity the timber was badly demolished. Report reached Long creek that the new school house at Monument was blown from its foundations. Long Creek is the only place in Eastern Oregon that we nave heard of cyclones prevaling, and after reading their disastrous results in the east, it is enough to make people tim orous and fearful when the wind-blows. A Mew Venture. The Oregon Statesman, a new candi date for public favor, was issued this morning in this city. It has a patent inside, neatly printed, and is the organ of the Populists It is a reincarnation of the Oregon Resources, one nu mber of which was published h re a few ' weeks ago, lo show that is progressive it claims in its first issue to be the official paper of Wasco, connty, which honor must have been given it before it had an existence.

Saturday afternoon, the annual elec tion of directors of the D. P. & A. N. Co. took place in this city. There was some contest in regards to this election, as certain stock-holders had attempted to dispose of their shares to the O. R. & N. Co., and these same men had at tempted to secure control of the board. There were 250 shares voted in a total of 390, and the following were elected directors: O. Kinersly, H. Glenn, R. Mays, sr., E. M. Williams, S. L. Brooks, Jos. T. Peters and M. T. No lan. At a meeting of the board the fol lowing were named as officers: S. L. Brooks, president; O. Kinersly, vice present; J. S. Schenck, treasurer, and M. T. Nolan, secretary. The opposi tion were not represented, and the D. P. & A. Co. will still continue as the people's transportation company. Dr. Joe's Death the Canse. Pendleton Hast Oregonian: Ths In dians on the reserve attribute the heavy windstorm of Monday to the death of old Doctor Joe, the medicine man, who passed away to the happy hunting grounds. Although generally thought to have advanced beyond the stage of such superst tion, the Indians yet cling to crude ideas and may easily be inspired with awe when observing some phenom onen of nature The death of Doctor Joe has caused them to mourn very deeply. To him they attributed great powers and the usual wonderful cures by means of magic. Had Doctor Joe lived through tbe storm, he would have convinced the Indians that he caused the wind to blow with the aid of the Great Spirit, for he seldom failed to turn the works of nature to account in holding his reputation as a medicine man. Wild Lettuce. A farmer residing in the neighbor hood of Kinsrsley informed us today that growths commonly known as wild lettuce has completely covered the ground in some places, and it will be difficult to eradicate them. Their roots branch out in the ground, and absorb considerable moisture. The seed is light, and in 'season blows over large areas. Our informant believes that a law should be passed forcing farmers to weed them out before they attain their full growth, as after ma turity it is almost impossible to remove them. In places they have usurped -many fertile spots, and in a few years. without something is done to stop them from spreading, they will be as great a pest as the Canada thistle. Justice Davis' Court. In this court today a trial was had under the statute for maliciously kill ing an animal, which crime was com mitted a few days ago on Mrs. Bach elor's farm at Hosier. The defendant's name is George Huskey, and the com plaint states the offense with statutory precision. Mrs. Bachelor owns a farm at Mosier, and she had a faithful watch dog, which she alleged was maliciously killed by Huskey. She swore to the complaint, and a warrant of arrest was issued. The trial was called at 1 p. M. o'clock; but it did not begin until 11, the witness not being present. A jury was impanelled, and up to the time of going to press a verdict had not been rendered. The Concert. Mr. Joseph Mueller had a good audi ence last night at the opera house, and he sang in excellent voice. His humor ous songs captivated the people, and even those who did not understand his renditions in German, could see that the wit and humor were fully delinea ted. The music by the orchestra was excellent, and The Dalles may well feel proud of the accomplishments of this band of musicians. The Gesang Verein, for whose benefit the concert was given, should be complimented in securing the services of Mr. Mueller and also of the orchestra union for their concert. It passed off very successfully, and gave general satisfaction. Meeting; of tbe M'Kinley Club. Last Saturday evening the McKinley club of this city held a meeting in the council chambers, and there was a full representation of members. The club was called to order by the president, Mr. Frank -Menefee, and the object stated to be the election of delegates to the meeting of Republican clubs, in Portland next month. After some en thusiastic speeches the meeting elected delegates as follows: J. M. Patterson, "W. H. Wilson, T. A. Hudson, F. Men efee and Fred Wilson. To fill the va cancy in the office of treasurer, caused by the death of Hon. G. V. Bolton, Hon. M. T. Nolan was elected to the position. . Cheap Lands. Rents for Umatilla reservation lands have materially decreased since last year. Prices per acre formerly ranged from $1 to $1.50. This year they are 50 cents to $1 for the same lands. Many ranches have leased , lands at a maximum of 65 cents per acre. Al though the land goes slowiy, Mr. Pierce thinks all available will be rented before the close of the present season. At prices now ruling farmers can lease lands for wheat raising' at cheaper prices than would be repre sented by interest and taxes on land at nominal rates, ' , New Photograph Gallery. Crow & Lussier of Portland have made arrangements for opening a branch photograph gallery at this place as soon as the building is ready which they have obtained. As their gallery in Portland is the oldest established and best known in the northwest, and they have an enviable reputation, we predict for them a good business here. Card of Thanks. The Y. W. C. T.
