ground being in fine condition for cul

the vicinity of Kingsley are very busy
plowing and preparing ground for cul
tivation.. He anticipates a very large
acreage will be seeded in that section
this year, and that immense crops will
be raised. Mr. Northup says more
wheat was gown there last fall than
ever before, and that at present it is in

Especially is this the ca.se with those

Pendleton Tribune gives the follow-
ing account of how two of the red citi
zens recently abused their privileges:
As John Crow, an extensive farmer
oa the Tutuilla, and a friend were re
turning home from Pendleton Monday
night they were met by two Snake
River Indians, in a state of intoxica
tion, one of whom rode up to Mr. Crow
and, thrusting a revolver In his face,
threatened to kill him, accompanying
his menace with an appro bious epi
thet. Mr. Crow being unarmed and
taken at a disadvantage, expostulated
mildly with the drunken savage who,
after profanely expressing his opinion
of white men in general, turned bis at
tention to his (Crow's) companion.
The two-Indians then again flourished
their revolvers in the faces of the
farmers, and finally rode off cursing
and firing shots in the air.

have been common ever since Judge

The Regulator High and Dry.
Under the skillful supervision of Mr.
Hugh Glenn, the Regulator was suc
cessfully hauled onto the way Tues
day, and today stands high and dry on
the beach at Hungry Harbor above
the city. The boat had not been thor
oughly overhauled for three years, and
was supposed by the company to be
very much Jn need of repairs, out
when taken out of the water was found
to be in much better condition than
had been anticipated. Considering
the thousands of landings she has
made against all kinds of banks and
very often under most unfavorable cir
cumstances, the Regulator has stood
che hardships of river navigation ad
mirably, proying her to be a staunch
and trustworthy vessel. While on the
ways the boat will bo thoroughly over
hauled and strengthened, so that she
will be able to buffet waves and
weather, whatever may come. The
boat will also be repainted, and will
have the appearance of a new vessel
when again put in the water. -
A Weil-Known Methodist 3tXc
Bad Circumstances. .
Occasional letters from the Re
Frank Spalding, formerly presiding
elder of The Dalles district, who went
to Brazil nearly three years ago as a
missionary of the Methodist church,
indicate that he and his family are in
destitute circumstances. He I in an
unhospitable field, In which the results
do not justify his presence. After two
years of privation he learned the native
language, only to find that, in so far
as it enabled him to convert the people,
it was labor lost. It is thought he
would be glad to return to Oregon,
but has not the money to pay his pas
sage. If this is so, the church should
see that he gets back. Frank Spald
ing is too good and brilliant a man to
be permitted to be virtually buried
alive in a foreign land. True, he was
a trifle vlssionary, and shall we say
foolish, in of his own free will entering
a foreign field of which he knew almost
nothing, when there was plenty of
useful work for him to do at home,
but no doubt he is cured or that now.
Fosil Journal.
Mr. Spalding is, as the Journal
states, too good a man to be allowed to
remain among a people who do not
sufficiently appreciate bis ability and
good qualities to afford him an oppor
tunity to sustain himself and family.
Throughout Eastern Oregon he has
many friends and admirers who would
no doubt render him assistance to re
turn to the United States should he
signify a desire to do so.
Rev. Mr. Wood, pastor of the M. E.
church in this city informs us that
the last correspondence he had with
Mr. Spalding, that gentleman made no
complaint of being in need, though
his expenses in Brazil are very heavy.
The church hero contributes regular
amounts toward aiding Mr. Spalding
in his missionary work, and since he is
held in high esteem by the members
here, they would no doubt render him
any assistance he might ask for.

No Tax Levy Yet,
The state board has not yet determ
ined what the state tax levy will be,
but it will not be much below 5 mills,
A Salem dispatch dated January 8,
says: - .
"Every expenses item deemed neces
sary to run the government another
year was scrutinized by the governor,
secretary of the btate and treasurer to
day, Though the work was prelimary,
it is evident the board is disposed to
make an ecomlcal estimate,' and, if it
can, lower the estimate of $783,000.
The surplus available has not been as
certained,' nor -has the board agreed
upon a levy for a branch asylum. One
member would levy $40,000 for that
purpose; another would leave it out en
tlrely, and the third would compromise
on $25,000. It is quite certain tbe sur
plus will be sufficient to offset what
maybe levied for the asylum. It is
practically established that the reve
nue need will not exceed $783,000, and it
I may be lowered, bring the resultant
rate within the estimate of 5.4 mills."

It Is Delightful.
Who ever saw such weather as this
in' Eastern Oregon? Here it is nearly
the middle of January, not a severely
eolddayyet, no frost in the ground,
no snow on the Btock ranges, green
grass covering the hills, and farmers
busily engaged plowing, preparing to
seed an unusually large acreage- of
grain the coming season. What a
contrast this Is to what the people re
siding east of us are encountering.
From the Blue mountains to the At
lantic coast the ground is covered with,
snow, and freezing blizzards sweep
over the extreme northern states.
Oregon's climate is ever one of its
greatest attractions, but so far this
wintei it is really outdoing itself In
this respect. But this fine weather
while it is beneficial to most Industries,
may to some extent prove detrimental
to fruit growers, since it is liable to
Start the buds on early fruits, and
cause the trees to be damaged by
freezes later on.
i They Went To Flecea.
When the forms for Tuesday's daily
were put on the press they were not
securely fastened, therefore when the
first revolution of the press was made
the forms from which the first and
second pages should have been printed
went off on the floor, scattering type,
leads, rules and all else that goes to
make up a newspaper form, all over
the house. It was a complete "pi," a
wreck that could not be adjusted in
less than half a day, hence all that
could be done under the circumstances
was to issue a half sheet from the
forms that remained intact. By all
hands working half the night the "pi"
was consumed," the wrecked forms
readjusted, and once again the Tjmes
Mountaineeb is Itself. The accident
is one that seldom occurs, but when it
does there is sorrow in the office, and
occasionally some little profanity,
which is admitted to be excusable.
Lutheran Congregation Organised.
The Lutherans of this city met at
the First Baptist church Tuesday and
perfected the organization of a congre
gation, which the trustees were in
structed to . incorporate under the
name of the Evangelical Lutheran
Zion church. The congregation was
organized with a membership of 68,
and Messrs. I C. Nlckelsen, J. Mel
qulst, H. Hansen, C. Brown, L. P.
Ostrand and C. C. Weigel were elected
trustees. The congregation extended
a call to the Rev. Grey of Oregon City,
to become their regular pastor, which
Mr. Gray will accept provided the con
sent of his congregation can be ob
tained. The trustees were einpqwered
to secure property upon which to erect
a church building, and it is expected
the congregation will become one of
the permanent church organizations
of this city.

A Woman Direr.
There Is a professional women diver
now living at Gravesend, New Eng
land. She first went down instead of
ber husband, who was ill, some years
ago, and this she did with such success
and intrepidity that she afterward ful
filled many engagements jointly with
him, assisting largely in the construc
tion of a pier at a shipping port. ' She
is not a woman of great height, but of
considerable physique, and is not 'yet
40. She has made as much as $33 in
one day, and has chiefly worked near
the mouth oi the Thames. She con
fesses to no unusual fatigue, and one
of her boasts is that near the Medway.

Opinions of Elks.
Last Monday evening a large number
of Roseburg gamin had learned that
a car load of elka was coming to Rose
bur. They had gathered at the depot
to witness the unlocking uf the, ani
mals. While thus waiting for the
car they began to discuss the matter
and speculate upon the notable event
about to transpire. One very bright
kid, Haggard Jones, spoke up with a
philosophical air, saying: "Well, if
they turn them elks loose in Roseburg
Dick Jones will git one of them before
they git into the mountains, you bet,
fur Dick's a good shot." Plaindealer.
A Startling
Admission.
In New York City, for five

has been three in every . :
Twenty Persons. :
Epidemic of Cholera, Yellow Fever and
Other diseases of similar character, so ter
rible in their results, occasion wide spread
alarm and receive the most careful consid
eration for their prevention and cure, while
consumption receives scarcely a thought,
Set the number of their victim sinks into
isigniucance when compared with those of
consumption. Comparatively few people
know what to do for their loved ones when
they see them gradually lose strength, lose
color, manifest feeble vitality and emacia
tion, or develop a cough, . with difficult
breathing-, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil
was for a long time given in all such cases,
but the poor success attending its use
coupled with its nanseating taste has led
Shipment of jrlonr and Grain.
The shipments of flour and grain from
the Pacific coast to European ports dur
ing the eleven months ending Nov. 30
were: Flour, 214,470 barrels; wheat, 18,
658,271 centals; barley, 613,134 centals.
During the same period in 1894 there
were shipped 331,025 barrels of flour,
13,486,511 centals of wheat and 1,771,-
964 centals of barley. ' This shows a
decrease in the shipment of flour and
barley and an increase In the shipment
of wheat. Twenty-eight of the ships

in the early stages of the disease, be cured

with La Grippe and tried all the phy

and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King's New Dis

and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and after us
