The La Grande Chronicle mentions
case of lightning striking a wood
chopper's cabin near Meacham, last
Sunday. The house was demolished,
and the woodchopper who was eating
his supper at the time insists that the
bolt that destroyed his cabin struck
him on the cheek. As the bolt tore a
shed off the main cabin, ripped the
roof to pieces and threw down one end
of the building, It is presumed tnat
the woodchopper's cheeK is oi me
.nickel-steel variety, as the skin was
not abraded or the jaw broken.
Fishermen report the river full of
big fat Chinook salmon, and think the

to have been reversed this yearr-the

and the Cbinooks being three months
behind time. Usually the fall run is
composed largely of Steelheads and
Silversides but these are scarce, their
f laces being taken by the Chinook,
n another week the markets will be
again stocked with salmon, and we
hope to see the cannery here running
: to Its fullest capacity.

Crook County's Showing;.
The assessor's returns from Crook
county show the population and pro
ducts as follows: Population 4415, le
gal voters 1203. It had 267.658 sheep,
1,983,325 pounds of wool, 2692 hogs,
11,695 horses and zb,iz cattle, mere
were ?o,vh acres under cultivation
which yielded 41.865 bushels of wheat,
32,922 of oats, 37,354 of barley and rye,
1277 of corn, 33,3o tons ot nay, oooy
pounds of hops, 22,662 bushels of pota
toes, 2793 of apples, 475 of prunes and
pears. It had 41 315 pounds of butter
and cheese, cut 1,030,000 feet of lum
ber, and produced 50 ounces of gold
dust. A comparison of population be
tween Crook and Sherman shows that
the former has one legal voter out of
four inhabitants, while the latter has
two out of five.
Ed Gibson Killed.
Ed Gibson is dead, and his body to
day is in charge of the coroner at Ar
lington. He will be remembered here
as the miserable opium tiend, who with
his equally miserable wife existed as
best they could, spending a goodly
portion of their time in jail. He was
killed by the west-bound passenger
train this morning about 1 o'clock, be
tween Arlington and willows. The
engineer saw mm on tne tracK ana
slowed down, out as ne got out oi tne
way turned the steam on again. Just
before the engine reached him he
stepped on the track again, raised his
hands over his head and stepped to
wards the engine. When be was
picked up he was still alive, but died
shortly after being put on the train.
It does not seem possible that the poor
wretch committed suicide for his mind
was hardly clear enough to point that
out as the proper thing for him to do;
but it was either that, or he was so
loaded with opium that, he did not
know what he was doing. His wife
and he separated some weeks ago, and
it may ba that that preyed on. his
mind. Is seems absurd to think of a
man mourning over the loss of suoh a
wife, yet after all she was the only
wife he bad, and probably the only one
he could have gotten. At any rate he
is dead and infinitely better off, than
when eking out a miserable existence,
rendered endurable only by opium.

Dark-blue and white are the colors
The Dalles hose team wore, and those
that came under the wire in the con
test at "Vancouver yesterday a winner.
Today two races had been run up to
this writing, the first being the "dry
contest" in which the time was as folr
lows: Astoria, 46; The Dalles, 46 2-5;
Vancouver, 47; Oregon City, 49. The
Dalles, Vancouver and Oregon City
protested against the Astoria's time
being allowed, because the nozzle had
not been screwed on as required under
the conditions of the race. This pro
test was overruled by the judges and
the race was given to Oregon City,
which made the poorest time. There
is either.some mistake in the dispatch,
or on the part of the judges, as the
race provides for second money, and
there is nothing in evidence to cause
our boys to be shut out from second
place, and if the protest is allowed, as
ft seems to have been, they are enti
tled to first place.
In the "hub and hub" pace Astoria
got first place in 23 4-5 seconds; The
Dalles, second in 24 J-5; Oregon City,
244; Vancouver, 25, ,
There remains yet the "New ork
test, which is being run this afternoon.
Whatever the result of that race may
be, our boys have made a record of
which all of us are proud. They got
first place in one race, and at least sec
ond in the other two which have been
run. They will be up on the Regulator
tomorrow night, and arrangements
have been made to giye them a hearty
welcome home. The band will meet
them at the boat, and it is safe to say
that a large and enthusiastic crowd
will be present. Dark-blue and white
ribbons will be conspicuous, for "our
girls" delight to honor, as do we all of
us, "our boys," .
FOCB MONTHS TO REDEEM.
Old Contracts Not Affected by the New
Mortgage Law.
PflH"eton Tribune
For some time past there has been a
great deal of controversy regarding
the time allowed for the redemption of
land sold under execution and fore
closure pvoceedinffs. Sheriff Houser
has held that on all mortgages entered
into prior to t.he passage of the new
law, the redemption period would ex
pire four months from the confirma
tion of the sale as prescribed in the
old law. This interpretation was dis
puted by local parties and Sheriff
Houser therefore sent the following
letter of inquiry to Sheriff Sears, of
Multnomah county. ,
"I am informed that upon the ques
tion of the redemption period from
execution and foreclosure sales, which
period wa9 by thp late legislature ex-
Judge Shattuck ha9 decoed tnat tne
law cannot apply to contracts entered
into before the passage of the law;
that Is to say, in the case of mortgages,
any mortgages which were executed
before the passage of the law last win
ter, would come under the old law,
and the redemption period expire in
four months from date of confirmation
of sale."
In yesterday's mail. Sheriff Houser
received the following reply from
Sheriff Sears, under date of Portland,
August 31: -
"I am aivtnc deeds for all property
sold under foreclosure that yas of
record prior to the passaere of the new
law. after four months, as it has been
decided that the law only applies to
mortgages recorded since the passage
of the new law."
. Fine Gold.
Machinery for saving fine gold is be
coming quite abundant, but so far
none seems to be satisfactory. The
man who successfully solves this prob
lem will find a fortune, and the lm
me rise reward v possible ia stimulating
inventors. Every week some new de
vice is heralded to the world as being
perfect, but the test shows some weak
point. An old miner. Mr. Breedlove,
is in the city today with a machine he
thiaks will do the work, and purpose
testing the sands along the Columbia
in this vicinity. There are hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of fine
eoli in the bars of the Snake and Co
lumbia that some day will be gathered
up. and wnen macninery is periectea
that will accomplish this work, Oregon
will come to the front as one of the
great gold producers of the world.
Vacation Time
Is at hand and is' gladly welcomed by
all, especially those whose duties in
life have caused them to greatly run
down their system to meet the require
ments, physical and mental, forced
upon them. With these and others, it
is important, whether at home, at the
seashore, or in the country, that some
thought be given to diet, and as
further assistance to nature, a good
building-up medicine like Hood's Sar
saparilla had best be resorted to. If
the digestion is noor, liver deranged
and frequent headaches seem to be the
rule, Hood's will change all this and
enable everyone -to return to their
home and business in a refreshed state
of mind and. bodily health,
Dr. Price' Cream Baking Powder
World'! Fair Highest Award,
The Bemlt at Vanoouver.
From some "bf the gentlemen
who
attended the tournament at Vancouver,
and who returned last night, we have
gathered the particulars of the con'
testa there and learned the reason why
our boys did not get second place in the
drv contest, and in the hub races. It
seemo that in the drv contest, an agree
ment had been made that the nozzle
should be screwed on tightly. Astoria
made the best time but as the nozzle
was loose was barred out. The Dalles
team via barred for the same reason
although it was a strain on the part of
the judges as wen as on tne geunuiutvu
who tested the coupling. Only by
o-rent exertion was he able to move
the no7zle a. hare inch towards tight
ening it, but as there was- a kick
against Astoria's coupling, that -inch
wua allowed sumcient to ru,w uwm
nut.
In the New York test, our boys had
no show, hut made a p-ood race in spite
of the conditions. After Astoria and
Vancouver had made their runs, a
heavy shower came up and rain ieu
steadily for an hour. The track was
heavy but the run was made in as good
time as by any or tne teaais. iu cuous
inc the hose, however, time was lost
on account OI tne couplings uemS
filled with mud. In the hub and hub
race two of the time keepers failed to
catch the time, and the third and only
oae who got it,-gave Oregon City time
as 24 seconds, while tne waioiios oi
others who took the time, and who in
the other races affreed with the of
ficial time, save it as 2a.
When our bovs srot into Vancouver
they were not considered in the races
at all, Vancouver ana askj ucmg
looked upon as sure winners, ana
Oregon City as having only a fighting
chance, but when the first race was
run and won by The Dalles, there was
a miffhtv cheer went up even tnougn
many were disappointed and mistaken.
The team in all its races ran like
one man never making a bobble,
The Astoria team and the Oregon
City team each had professionals, and
the Vanoouver team had eight soldiers,
who did not belong to the regular fire
companies. In the New York test
Vancouver withdrew six of these sol
diers and replaced them with six other
fresh men picked Irom tne garrison.
We are not mentioning these things
in a lault-nnding spirit, dus to state
the facts as they were. We know that
it is almost impossible to carry out
such contests without everybody par
ticipating feeling 'that they have had
the worst of it. we Know luni mo
people of Vancouver are liberal and
hospitable, and realize that what may
seem like neglect was due to nothing
but oversia-ht. Our boys were not met
at the boat and were noi assigned a
place in the procession, nor was a
place provided in wnicn tuej cuum
stow their Bart, until dark no quar
ters had been assigned them, and they
were generally pretty shabbily treated.
As we said, though, we attribute this
to poor management and not to inten
tional neglect. The Dalles hose team
will be home tonight, and they will
meet with a warm welcome. The band
will meet them at the boat after wnicn
they will be given a ride through town,
and this evening they will occupy
seats in the theatre, at the invitation
of Mr. Senter Payton. Do not forget
jthat the colors of our boys are navy
blue and white.

John Parrott has had some experience
Within the past few days, that might
cause him to endorse Mr. Lincoln's
ideas. It came about this way: Mr.
Parrott was having a lot of hogs
loaded on the Regulator, and as he i
couldn't get them attached to the hog
chains, he had a man assisting him.
The hogs with tneir usual perversity
were backward about going forward,
and were being persuaded by such .
means as suggested themselves, j
Finally the whole ' band ceased to
move, and continued to cease until the
patience of both Mr. Parrott and his
assistant was exhausted. Then each
pf the wise ones had an idea, which
they undertook to execute at the same
time, and as great, minds run in the
same channel, so these ideas both took
the same direction. The assistant be
thought him that an argument a jsojc
tenon mieht be enective, ana so ne
concluded to apply the toe of his shoe
to tho broad ham of one oi Tne. per
verse porkers. When he reached this
conclusion, Mr. Parrott was standing
a few feet bactc oi mm, ana tne iubi
struck him that he would grab tnat
same pig by the hind legs. Mr, Par
rott stooped to pull the porker's leg,
the assistant drew oaex nis ngat loot
with a mighty swing to make a regular

made it: the ascending heel of his
shoe in its backward swing met with

Coat of Shipping Frolf fresh.
The Rural Northwest.
A contemporary recently published
an article on the subject of shipping
fresh fruit east, in which the proba
bilities for profit were figured in a
more rosy manner than circumstances
justify. Italian prunes were taken as
an example and the figures given
showed that if Italian prunes sold in
St. Paul at $1.00 per box the grower
would net oyer two and two'thirds
cents per pound.
The article in question states cor
rectly that the charge for hauling fruit
in- refrigerator cars from Portland to
St. Paul is $1.25 per cwt., if sent by
freight train service, and that $65 is
charged for refrigeration,
Twenty-four thousand pounds will
be charged for if the car contains less
than thatamount. If it contains more
it will be at the- rate specified. We
noticed last year that there were few
cars which took more than a thousand
boxes or crates of fruit. Nine hun
dred crates of Italian prunes will make
about 24,000 pounds. If shipped in
boxes it will take between 1000 and
1100 packages to make that amount.
A car containing 900 crates or 1050
boxes will do well if it sells for $800
gross. There must be deducted from
this the freight, refrigeration, com
mission, and cost of packages, packing
and loading. The commission will be
found to come very close to 15 per cent,
instead of 7i per cent, but estimating
it at a minimum of 12! per cent the
commission on a car selling for $800
would be $100; the freight, $300; re
frigeration, $85: packages $65 to $100
according to the style used; packing
and loading about $50. Taking the
lowest figures all through the charges
will amount to 580, leaving $220 net,
or about one cent per pound. If the
growers who ship fresh prunes east
net one cent per pound on an average
they will have cause to feel very well
satisfied. The probabilities are that
they will net less than this rather than
more.

How Tney Came Back.
Our hose team may not have been
treated well at Vancouver, but they
met with a reception last mgnt at tne
hands of their own people that would
warm the heart of a statue. ' An hour
before the boat arrived the crowd be-
e-an to cather on the wharf, and when
at last it rounded the point with flags
flying the wharf was filled and the
street was crowded with enthusiastic
citizens, anxious to express their ap
preciation of the boys' gallant ellorts.
Tom Ward's big four-in-hand and the
Umatilla House bus, both gaily deco
rated with the team's colors, were in
waiting, and Assistant Chief Jacob-
sen was present with his buggy dec
orated for the chief. The band was
also at the wharf to receive the boys
and escort them through the city. The
boys were relieved from all care of
their cart. Capt. Lewis, Dr. Siddall
and lots of other old firemen taking
charc-e of it. The party was taken
through the city and arrived at the
Umatilla House a few minutes past 8
o'clock. As soon as the boys could
escape from the hundreds who wanted
to shake hands with them they were
escorted to the dininar room, where
table had been set the entire length of
the room, and were given as nne a
supper as was ever spread in Eastern
Oregon. J. H. Cradlebaugh delivered
few brief words of welcome, and
wit h many a merry jest the boys pro
ceeded to attend to the business before
them, and made up for the banquet
they didn't have in V aneouver. Cap
tain Roger Sinnott was called upon,
and cave a brief history of the tour
nament. CaDtain Lewis and several
others proposed toasts that brought
forth hearty applause, and at 8:4o the
whole party adjourned to the opera
house. It was the most enthusiastic
reception ever tendered any toam on
its return home there being a sponta
neous outpouring of citizens deter
mined to do tJbe boyshonoi. And as
for colors everything was "blue and
white" and '-white and blue." The
Dalles was proud of its boys and it
took pains to let them know it. It
was an occasion that will never be for
gotten by any of us, and was one thing
at least in which-The Dalles knew no
factions and no creeds.
'Worse Than We Told It.
The Dalles hose team arrived home
last night and we regret exceedingly
to learn that their treatment at Van
couver was much worse than wo noted
yesterday. We were disposed to look
upon the apparent neglect of our boys
as more of a neglect, than intentional
slight, but the evidence forces us to
believe that the Vancouverites forgot
their duty as hosts, and deliberately
insulted the people they had invited
to their city. The boys who were
down from here were all bona fide
members of The Dalles fire depart
ment, they carried with them
credentials to that effect, and they
were the only company that did so.
Oregon City and Astoria each had
professional sprinters employed for
the occasion with their teams and Van
couver had her pick from among 600
soldiers. - It was not expected in Van
couver that The Dalles boys would
have a show, and indeed, it seems that
it was not intended that they should
have, and that intention was backed
by a vigorous and successful attempt
to see that they didn't get it. In the
dry contest our boys got the nozzle
screwed on tightly, but as one of the
judges was able by great exertion to
turn tne nozzie less toan nan an iucu
in the way of tightening it the boys
were barred. i.his was a aeiioerate
theft of the race, or at least of the
second plase, from them. However it
is a thing of the past, and it will never
occur again for It will be a long time
before a Dalles team again visits Van
couver. Afte? the races 'our boys
went to Portland and remained over
night leaving their cart in Vancouver,
and as a farewell piece of villainy
some one took one of the wheels off
of their cart,
An Indian's Mine.
A telegram from Goldendale to the
Oregonlan yesterday, says: "Shilo, a
Klickitat Indian, was many years ago
well-known siwash in Goldendale,
and always exhibited gold nuggets and
rich bearing quartz, on his regular!
visits here, but he always declined to

JaU Break at Astoria.
Astoria had a jail-break last night.
Jailer Dunnon had gone into the jail
corridor for the purpose of giving some
medicine to one of the prisoners,
Claussen and Reams, prisoners,
jumped on him and succeeded in over
powering him. He was locked in a
cell, and the prisoners then deliber
ately walked but. One of the pris
oners who refused to escape released
Dunnon, and after fifteen minutes of
continuous yelling, the jailer managed
to attract attention and got released.
Sheriff Hare at once organized a posse
and started in pursuit of the escapes,
but will have a hard chase,

Of the Second Eastern Oregon District
Agricultural Association.
Arrangements have been made for
the seventh annual meeting of the
Fair Association, beginning Tuesday,
October 8, and lasting five days. The
management is determined to make
tnis the most successful meeting of the
Kinu ever neia in eastern uregon, ana
ask the earnest and energetic assist
ance of the citizens in accomplishing
nits result, r itt-een hundred dollars
will be distributed in prizes for farm
products, works of art, fancy work,
etc., ana Sfzouu will be divided anion?
tne purses for sDeed contests. Ihe
large Max Voe-t hall, which has re
cently been rebuilt, has been engaged
for the exhibits, which will prove a
great convenience, and The Dalles
band will furnish music giving a con
cert every evening. A committee on
transportation has-been appointed and
special rates over the lines of travel
will be obtained so that the fares will
not be one-half the usual rates. Wasco
county has forged rapidly ahead in its
orchard products and special efforts
will be made to show the best fruit ex
hibit ever gathered in the Northwest.
To do this will require the hearty co
operation of all our farmers and fruit
growers, and the management urges
them to make a full exhibit, as many
strangers will be present, and it will
prove of immense benefit to the
county. Already merchants are in
quiring for space for tlKir exhibits,.
and a fine showing will be made in
this line. From all indications the
meeting will be a rousing one, and
every body will attend it. See to it
that you are of the number, and that
you bring in specimens of your prod
ucts. Sherman Count; Products.
