The Canyon City News says: "The truth of the matter is, the . John Day valley, the best part of Grant county, has an abundauce of hay, and stock from other sections of the country are being driven in here to be fed." Mr. J. N. Gulliford, 'a prominent sheep raiser of Crook county, was in the city last night en route to Albany.

A Salem dispatch says the sheriffs of Oregon have a grievance against Gov ernor Lord for vetoing the sheriffs' mileage bill, and threaten to knife his excellency the next time he comes up for office. From 1000 to 2000 bushels of wheat are being shipped from The Dalles everyday. Moody's warehouse ships froJi 500 to 750 sacks a day and the , Wasco Warehouse from three to five carloads. A few days ago we announced that the Mitchell Monitor had died, but it has proven a lively corpse. Mr. A. C. . Parmer resurrected the paper and last Friday brought it out flying the Repub can banner. The Howe-Readic Company closed its engagement in The Dalles last Sat urday night, at the Baldwin, render? i nr the "American QirV to the entire I satisfaction of the large audience that I greeted them This is one of the most interesting dramas that has ever been played in this city, it being right up to date, in every respect, and when put on the boards by such artists as com prise the Howe-Readic company gives universal satisfaction. . The jury which tried Lee Moore house on the charga of stealing wheat returned a verdict of guilty Saturday evening. Moorehouse has now been convicted on two charges and will be sentenced tomorrow morning.

' They were . accompanied by Mrs. Wyndham, who will spend a few days at Mosier visitingrelaties. : sheriff Driver and Deputy Butts took considerable exercise this morn ing summoning a special vernire of jurors -to serve on the Taft case. When they accosted Col. Sinnot with an endeavor to convince him that it was a duty he owed the government to serve on juries, he tendered his fine to the officials, which was an argument they could not combat. John Crawford is laid up across 'the river with his right arm broken and his body pretty badly bruised. While driving a four-horse team down a steep hill last Friday afternoon, the coupling pole of his wagon broke, and his team became unmanageable. He was thrown to the ground with such violence " that it was a fortunate escape from death As it is he is quite seriously hurt. Mrs. Brookhouse met with a serious accident at her home on Teh-Mile last Saturday.! By a misstep she fell down a flight of stairs into a cellar, and sus tained a fracture of her right hip. She was brought to the city this morning, and placed under the care of Dr. Hol- lister. Mrs. Brookhouse is 65 years old, and owing to her extreme age, it is feared her injuries may prove sirious. .

A very pleasant party was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Marden last evening in honor of Miss Jeannette Williams, of Portland, who is visiting fr" ends in the city. The ball to, be given by Mt-)Hocd Hose Co. Thursday evening .promises to be a great social success.. From the way tickets are selling it is evident there will be a large crowd in attend' ance. ; ' A deed was filed today from Maurice J. FitzGerald to James Diveros, of San Francisco. The property conjeyed was lot 3 in block 5 Bigelow's Bluff ad dition to Dalles City; consideration, $775. Fred D.

"Whether the locks open or not, there is a good healthy inquiry for income paying property at this time, and the outlook fori the future is bright." An East End little girl, after having spent a half hour before the mirror, turned to her mamma and remarked "How much prettier God makes little girls now than he did when you were born, mamma." That little lady will not have much to be thankful for Thursday. The way turkeys are being brought to this market it would seem that the farmers of Wasco county have some thing to be thankful foran immense crop of turkeys and are determined that residents of the city shall observe Thanksgiving by feasting on & nice, plump gobblers. The Pendleton company of the Third regiment, O. N. G., was mustered in with 42 members Friday evening by Major Sidney Collins, of Arlington, the brigade inspector. The election of officers was held immediately alter the muster, and resulted as follows : Cap tain, Arthur J. Holmes; first lieuten ant, J. E. Krause; second lieutenant, Grg F.

The aggregation of attractions at the carnival Friday was fully up to the expectation of everybody; in fact all were agreeably surprised, the en tertainment being really better than many had anticipated. Of course the grand march of the characters1 repre senting the different business men of the city was the most attractive feature of the.evening. The march and drill were executed with precision, and the different characters presented a hand some appearance as they marched through the hall,- wearing skillfully arranged costumes and -some carrying elegantly . decorated banners. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was of a high order, and Mr. Stewart's recitations were well received.

The act of the government in grant ing the Indians the rights of citizen1 ship, and especially the right to buy intoxicants has been severely criticized by many and justly too, for this is privilege Indians will naturally abuse. Evidence of this is furnished by the following . item which appeared in Wednesday's East Oregonian: : "An Indian was round dead at noon Sunday about a mile from town on the Tutuilla road. O. P. Bowman brought first word to the officers at the court house, and C. O. White found the dead Indian at about the same time. The body lay inside the barbwire fence on E. D. Boyd's land, and was cold in death when first approached. The cor oner went to the place and found track over which, it was plainly to be seen, someone had dragged the body from the middle of the road where the Indian had fallen from his horse. iThe body was dragged to the fence and then under it, as was proven by the finding of a portion of his clothing hanging to the barbs of the lower wire. IThe theory formed was that be left town in eompany with other drunken Indians, and, when he fell, his companions dragged him into the field and left him to be disposed of by anyone who should find him." A Success. The exercises at the carnival Satur day night were even more entertain' ing than they were the first evening, The programme, with the exception of the quartet, was rendered in full, and everything' passed - of -pleasantly. Taken' altogether, the carnival was a grand success, both In the feature of an entertainment and as a financial venture, the net receipts being 9113, which .will be given to the Endeavor Society t of - the - Christian- church. Those who managed the carnival 'cer tainly are entitled fco great credit for the entertainment they, furnished, and It is to be hoped that this may not be their last effort in this line. ' Pleasant Party. The, residence of . Mr. and Mrs. Young was enlivened Monday nightby merry prattle and laughter of a bevy of young folks who had" assembled to celebrate the thirteenth birthday of Miss Nora. The' youngsters assembled at an eary hour and indulged in1 all manner of amusing games until re- freshments were served at 9 o'clock. The lunch- was disposed of. with that relish only known to youth and vigor, and at 10 the happy throng bid their young hostess a pleasant good night, wishing her many returns of her anni versary. The young folks' present were Rosie Buchler, Mamie Buchler, Charlie Conley, Willie Wood, Irene Urquhart, James Urquhart, Alice Price, Burnle Dufur, Grace Hendrick son, Laurence Fowler, Clara Ulrich, Willie Ulrich, Josie Keller, Katie Bar rel!, Delia Young. Marshal Young. Stella Young, Bessie Young and Nora Young. BIO IRRIGATION SCHEMES. The Water of Hood River to be Utilized For Irrigation. Experience has taught the numer ous farmers and fruit growers . of Hood River valley that the lands of that section are more productive when irrigated, and as a result of this expe rience two large irrigation schemes have been inaugurated. The East Side Water Supply Co. and the East Fork Irrigation Co. have been consoli dated under the name of the Fast Fork Irrigation Co. The new organization will commence opera tions at once con structing ditches and flooms. This ditch will cover all the tlllible land on the east side of the valley, and when completed will furnish sufficient water to irrigate every farm in that section. On the west side of the river prepar ations are Deing made to construct a ditch and floom that will carry 5000 in ches of water, which is estimated to be sufficient to irrigate from 5000 to 8000 - Tcresoi inu. j.o uimau-ucu tae nec I . - . i s m i essary nooms ior in is immense uitcn 200,000 feet of lumber will be required, and Mr. Frank Davenport has begun erecting a mill on the river with which to supply the lumber. When these ir rigation schemes are perfected, what the producing power of Hood River valley will be is almost beyond conjec ture. Already it is the garden spot of Eastern Oregon; but when 20,000 acres of such fruit land is brought under sys tematic irrigation that valley will un doubtedly become one of the greatest fruit producing sections of the world. And the Lights Went Out. Shortly after 10 o'clock Friday night when amusements throughout the city were at their highest, suddenly and without warning, the machinery in the electric light power house refused to work, and the city was left in utter darkness. There was- a fizzle anaja sputter, then all was over so far as light was concerned, and everything was enwrapped in sable blackness. At the Armory, one of the most interest ing features of the carnival was inter rupted; the games in v hich the mem bers of Union Whist club were en gaged had just reached that point where every player's anxiety was wrought to the highest tension, and Miss Freeman, at the Baldwin, was us ing every effort to bewitch Guy Miller with a lovely little song, when dark ness spread out its mantle and brought all amusements to a sudden termina tion for a time. Coal oil lamps, how ever, were brought into requisition, and the "play went merrily on," so no one was materially inconvenienced by the lights going out. Working Old Mines. Many of the old mines in Southern Oregon that were supposed to have been worked out years ago, are being worked over with good results. , Con cerning the activity in this line the Grants Pass Courier says : "The new civilization is making the old diggings of Southern Oregon ring as they never did, even in the palmiest days of '56, when probably 5000 miners were dig ging and ' prospecting in the confines of whao is now Josephine county. The old gravel beds which even the China men could not work to advantage in early days, are now being manipulated by modern processes, and the output of gold is larger each year." For Over Fifty tears. An Old and Well-Tried Rem edy. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for over fifty years by millions of - mothers for their "children while teething, with perfect success It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic, and is the best remedy for . diarrhoea.

BT HENRY FIELDING. The case to be tried was one of arson a punitfll offense at the period to which this story relates and the pris oner at the bar was one of the best- known vounir men of the town in which h resided, bv name Walter Hood. He had a widowed mother dependent upon him for support, to whom he was devoted, and in most respects his con duct was irreproachable. The trial commenced and we twelve men took our seats in the jury box, Of the eleven men with me there was only one whom I did not like to sec there. That was Harvy Dudley, a dark- faced, sinister looking1 fellow, and to me in many wars objectionable, knew that young Hood had an incipi ent failing. He was becoming addicted to drinking, and had been known, while so excited, to visit questionable resorts. It was for the burning of one of these houses that he had been apprehended, I knew further that it was this Harvy Dudley who had been his most con stant companion; who had done more than anyone else to lead him astray, and who had accompanied him to these undesirable haunts. I could only ac count for his being on the jury on the hypothesis that Walter yet regarded him as his friend, but, nevertheless, 1 determined to watch him. The trial commenced and as the evi dence for the prosecution proceeded was fairly startled. One witness after another gave testimony, some of them very reluctantly, but all pointing to the prisoner as the 'guilty party Some credible witnesses swore that they had heard him swear he would burn the house down; others heard him say re peatedly that he wished it were burned down. Then came others who had seen him lurking about the premises on the night of the fire. On the score of mo tive it was shown, on his own admis sion, that he had been ill-treated in the house and that he bad said he would have revenge; -furthermore, it was proved that he had been heard to say that the salvation of his soul depended upon the. destruction of the house. Next came testimony stronger still. The -fire had -originated in a back basement room, where shavings and other stuff for kindling were kept. En trance had been gained by means of a back window, which had been partly pried open with a stout knife, and on the floor had been found the blade of a knife which had been broken off in the efforts to raise the sash.' That blade was recognized as belonging to a knife the prisoner had owned. A maker of cutlery had made that knife for him and positively identified it. And this was not all. .The floor of the basement was damp, and some of the outer shavings to which the light had been applied had not burned, and just at the edge, where the fire commenced, lay a piece of paper, rolled up and half burned. From the position in which it lay and hs appear ance it Was evident that this piece of paper had been ignited by match and then applied to the shavings. The shav ings had- blazed up at once, but the piece of paper lying on the damp floor bad not wholly burned up. This piece of paper was found to be a part of a let ter addressed to the prisoner and re ceived by him only a week before. - The case- looked very dark. Many witnesses were willing to testify to the prisoner s good qualities, but no one could swear that he was not dissipated and degraded. .. That house had been to him indeed an infernal region: Final ly the prisoner was allowed to speak for himself. He -said that he had threatened to burnthe house down that he had said all that he had been sworn to and that he was around -the house on the night of the fire indeed he was not ten rods off when the flames burst forth and he was one of the first to give the. alarm. He had uttered one cry of "fire " when he noticed where the fire was and the thought came to him that if he was found he might be sus pected of having started it, so he ran away., -He also said. that three nights before the fire lie had been in the house and robbed- of everything his pockets contained, including', forty dollars in money and some- valuable papers. He had gone there on the night of the fire in -the hope of getting something back. . but seeing some' one enter whom he did not wish to encounter he. hung about awaiting that person's departure. That, was an hour before the fire broke out, but of setting the place on fire he was innocent;- he knew nothing of it, and clasping his hands, -with his tearless eyes raised to Heaven, he called on God to Witness that he was innocent. I knew Walter; I knew him so well that from that moment I believed him innocent.: I knew bis-very soul, and I knew there was no falsehood in the story he told. -C "My boy is innocent! My boy is in nocent!" I heard the cry and saw his poor old mother, . almost, broken-hearted. ' sink back fainting into the arms of her com panion. All this, however, had little effect on the spectators. The prisoner's course of dissipation; his many threats against the house, and the very fact that he had been robbed there were heavy against him. The attorneys delivered their pleas and the judge gave his charge. He told us, of course, that if there was a lingering doubt in our minds we must give the prisoner the benefit of it; but r could plainly see that there was not the least shadow of doubt in his mind. .The jury were conducted to our room and locked up. A silence of some minutes occurred, which Harvy was the first to break. ' "Well," said he", "I s'pose there ain't any need of our being here a great while. Of course, we all know the prisoner must have set fire to the place." There was something in his manner as he said this which excited my curi osity. I will not say it was suspicion then, but my curiosity. He spoke with a forced effort at calmness, and the more I looked at him the more I became nervous and uneasy. I wondered why he should be so anxious to get rid of the case and have Walter convicted. I knew he had also frequented the house and that he had also done much towards tempting Walter into dissipation, and I knew, from what Walter had told me, that he was in that house when the rob bery had taken place. ' ; Presently the foreman suggested that we .should each take a piece of paper and write down our opinion and then compare notes, I went to my over coat, 'which was hanging1 on a rack with the rest, and took oat sheet of paper. I had got half way back to the table when I found that I had got half a let ter from another man's coat. Z was about to turn back when the name of the writer caught nf eye. It was signed Samuel LasaJ!, and immediate ly above the signature Z read these words; - .1 .."And now, dear Walter, if not for your own yet for your dear mother's sake, let me hope you will do better." -1 started as if I had been shot. I had in my hands the other half of the Sheet which had been used in the burned house. I went back to the rack and found I had taken the paper from Hnr vy Dudley's coat. I looked to see if I had been observed; I had not. I put the piece of paper back and took an other piece from my own coat, which was hanging near. Then 1 returned to the table and sat down. Harvy occu pied a place beside me. He had already written his opinion and had taken out a knife to sharpen his pencil. "Let me take your knife for a mo ment, please," I said to him. Without hesitation he handed it to me. It was Walter Hood's knife the large blade was gone! I had all I could do to restrain myself, but having sharp ened my fJeneil I returned the knife to him with a mere thank you. I learned afterwards that the accident of his hav ing that knife in his possession was at tributable to the fact that he had not worn that pair .of trousers since the night of the fire, and now used the knife without remembering the loss it had sustained doing a very peculiar piece of work, to the execution of which it had been made subservient. After deliberating some ten minutes or so it was ascertained that eleven of the jury were bent upon returning a verdict of guilty, though most were fa vorable to recommending the prisoner to mercy. But Harvy was inexorable. He would extend no mercy. Presently I started up and pretended' to be faint and asked to be excused for a few minutes. I kicked at the door and the sheriff came." He let me out. and when we had gained a safe distance I told him what I had discovered. He went away and brought back the dis trict attorney and Walter's counsel. 1 told them whnt I had seen and ex plained Harvy's conduct in the jury room, his former connection with the prisoner and his known character. The lawyers, retired for a little while and came back attended by a constable and a freshly-drawn paper. They desired me to point out the coat immediately on entering the room, and together we went in. I pointed out the coat, the sheriff tak ing it and demanding to know to whom it belonged. Harvy jumped up and would have seized it, but he was held back. Word was sent to the judge that the jury ould not ngree. We were summoned and discharged, and then Harvy was searched, the knife being found in his possession, and his be havior at once exposed his guilt. A new jury was impaneled and Walter was acquitted. Shortly afterwards Harvy was tried and it was plainly- proved that he had set fire to the house; that the woman who kept it was. f o have been burned in it, as he had locked her in one of the zooms before setting fire to the place, because she had incurred his displeas ure in some way, and this was his rc enge. Not only she, but two of the girls living with her had suspected hira from the first, but they dared not com plain lest he should not be found guilty, and then would be sure to murder thorn. The hardened villain confessed his guilt after he had been condemned, and then it was that he told how he hap pened to get the paper and the knife. It was he who had robbed Walter, and when he took the old letter, which he had found in Walter's poeVetbook, to use as a torch in setting fire to the place he did not notice what it was, and even when the burnt half was produced in court he had entirely forgotten that he had put the other half in his pocl. et, as he must have done. ; As to the knife, he had also taken ' that from Walter's pocket and put it in his own, using it on the night of the fire to pry open the window, and then, broken as it was, re turned it to his pocket without think ing anything more about it. . ':, Thus was. 'Walter -saved by nn aeei dent and Harvy sent to his due punish ment; and the moral of the story is that, while a youth can. make nil the grxxl resolutions thought can' suggest, yet if he continues on- with evil compan ionship he is not- safe.
