lision the buckboard was badly dam
aged, but the horses received no injury,

aged the early peaches, but other
fruits are uninjured.

are mostly from Montana and Minne

It is a well established fact that the
American people are swindled and
humbugged more than -any other
people on earth, and it is not for want
of intelligence or shrewdness, but
simply because they do' not stop to
think. For instance, a lady, goes to
her grocer, who, rather than miss
making a sale, offers her inferior goods
instead of the kind she asks for. He
boldly asserts "it's just as good," when
if he told the customer the truth he
wouid say, ."I know Hoe Cake Soap,
Soap Foam Washing Powder, and Red
Seal Lye are pure goods and full
weight, and for that reason cost more,
but I sell the poorer qualities because
there is more profit to be made." ' Hoe
Cake Soap contains ingredients not
touna in any other soap. Try it.

The report of the committee on cre
dentials was adopted without a dissent
ing voice, evidencing perfect har
mony; but the seeming ' harmony was
broKen by the reading of the report of
the committee on order of business
The majority of that' committee had
recommended the first order of busi
ness to be the election of delegates to
the state convention, to be followed by
the nomination of coroner Brat, and
ending with the nomination of county
judge, while the minority recommended
making the election of delegates to the
state convention the last order of busi
ness. It was urged by the supporters
of the majority's report, that since
Wasco county had a candidate for con
gress, trie choice or etate delegates as
a matter of greater importance, and in
order that county nominations should
not be prejudiced by the choice of state
delegates that duty should be disposed
of first. . This the opponents urged as
being uncommon and contrary to all
precedent. A heated -discussion fol
lowed, in which much feeling was dis
played; but the convention was with
the majority of the committee, and
their recommendations were adopted.
Hardly had the matter . of order of
business been disposed of when
another surprise was sprung on the
convention, by a motion being made
authorizing the chair to appointa com
mittee of four to confer with Mr. M
A.. Moody on the selection of state
delegates. This motion called for
another rather heated discussion
snort duration, but tne motion pre
vailed, and M ssrs. J. G. Day, M. J,
Anderson, Peter Isenberg and John
Grant were delegated to name the state
delegates."!.
After fifteen minutes deliberation
the committee reported their selection
of state delegates to be J. G. Day, M
T. Nolan, J. M. Patterson. E. L. Smith,
F. W. Jones, George Johnston and A.
E. Lake. The report of the commit
tee was adopted, and - these gentlemen
were) declared duly elected state dele
gates.:. - v .. '.' , .
The next order of business was the
nomination of coroner, W. H. ttutts
was placed in nomination, and was de
clared the unanimous choice of the
convention. .Following came the
nominations of the other officers In
the order as their names appear above.

The BrowilieS.
The Baldwin opra house was 'none
too large for the number of people who
a-embled to witness the Brownie en
tertainment last Saturday evening.
Every seat in the hall was taken and
standing room was even at a premium.
The entertainment was commenced 03
the appearance of the Brownies, some
twenty little boys ranging from 5 to 12
years of age, dressed in the most fan
tastic costumes, and very much re
sembling the pictures that are seen in
humorous journals, and right well did
the little fellows merit the hearty ap
plause they received. The Brownies
at leap frog, making kites and at foot
ball were ixceptionally good, and af
forded much amusement both to the
adultand juvenile spectators. Tnedif
ferent musical renditions by local tal
ent were of a high order and were hap
pily received, and Miss Vandi-rsol's
recitation. '"Grandma at the Masquer
ade," fairly brought down the house
The entertainment throughout was a
decided success, and reflects much
credit upon the tact of Miss Vandersol
under whose supervision it was ar
ranged.
Coal Discoveries.
Mr. H. H. Wheeler and Mr. G. L.
Frizzell have each discovered a vein of
coal near. their farms on Gird's creek.
The coal taken from the surface crop
pings burns very well in the forge, ami
is comparatively free from slate and
other incombustibles. There has been
very little development work on either
of the veins, but the one discovered by
Mr. Frizzell is from two to three feet
in thickness, and is improving in qual
ity as depth is acquired. There is
every indication of a coal formation in
the John Day river, basin, und it is
very probable that an intelligent and
systematic search would reveal valu .
able deposits underneath a large area.
Mr. Sam Carroll has a two-font vein of
coal near Bridge creek at a point 10 or
12 miles distant from these recent dis
coveries, and it has also been found
across the river at about the same dis
tance north from there, thus showing
it to exist in quite an extended terri
tory. It is to be hoped that the dis
coveries may, at least, be developed
sufficiently to demonstrate their value
and add another to ihe many resources
of Crook county. Mitchell Monitor.

fin r, occupied by W. L. Palmer and
J. F. McGee It is not known how the
9re started, Mr. Palmer's family beintr
absent at the time. When the fire
was first discovered the smoke and
fiimes were bursting through the roof
and sides of the building, and in less
time than it takes to tell it the whole
building was in flames. The front,
part was occupied J. F. Magee, as a
roeery store, and the upper story whs
1 hall occupied by the Knights of
Pythias and the A O. U. W. The
a lines soon commenced with adjoining
buildings, and as quite a strong wind
was blowing up the canyon, there
was no hope of saving them. It was
only by. the most strenuous efforts that
..he fire was prevented from reaching
the upper portion of the town.
'The buildings burned were the
Misener block, the old Mitchell hotel
adjoining on the west, three residences
owned by R. E. Misner, occupied by
. F. Allen, R. E. Misener and N. S.
Misener. respe tively, A. C. McEach
ern's residence, blacksmith shop,
saloon and livery stable, and Misener's
saloon. Misener's wine cellar, the old
store building formally occupied by L.
Howard, the Monitor office, Sasaer's
store building and barns and Geo.
Collins' shop, alone remain in lower
to-vn. Household goods were moved
i-to the street but m-J3t wore buried.
W. L. Palmer- and J. F. Magee saved
absolutely nothing of their household
effects. The others losing almost
every thing, much of it burning in the
stree.s after being removed from the
houses."
The Misener block was a fine two-
story wooden building, built last sum
mer, and a number of the residences
destroyed were new and expensive
buildings. The Monitor does not give
the estimated loss, but it must have
been yery heavy.
