A new and most interesting and
novel immigration movement towards
the state of Washington is promised
in the near future. It is not a move
ment started by the circulars sent out
by the officers of the immigration as
sociation or even an invitation from
any one in the state, but is more in
the order of a crusade similar to the
one entered upon by the Christians in
Europe during tbe dark ages, when
vast armies were organized and
marched to Palestina to wrest the Holy
Land from the Saracens.
The crusade to Washington is a vast
peaceable immigration, bavin? for its

Monday's rain was general all over

Ridge to John Day. In the north end
of the county the rain was not so heavy,
but was sufficient to revive the crops,
and put them beyond all danger from

canners and fishermen are not dis
couraged and are hopeful that they
may yet have a fair run of fish. The
heavy run here beldom commences be
fore the middle of June and-sonietimes-
not before the last, hence there is still
plenty of time between now and the
close season for a good catch.'
' Last evening Fin Batty,"' the ever
genial night, clerk at the Umatilla
House," was all smiles ' and radience,
but today a perceptible change has
come over him. The cause of his joy
last night was the receipt of a Lord
Fantleroy spaniel pup, imported di
rect from India, and tbe self same
pup is the cause of his sorrow today.
The pup is a beauty and is possessed of
a pair of lungs equal to a steam engine,
and it is not bashful about using them.
It howled all night and was howling
still when Fin started for the woods
with the treasure under his arm at
noon. If the young canine keeps up
its music another night, Fin will
be driven to desperation, possibly may
do something rash, kill the imported
spaniel or go to the mad house him
self. From. Thursday's Dally. -

license law for tbe protection of her
local venders and enforces it with a
vengence. The other day two men and
a boy were arrested for peddling need
les in the city and were fined $15 each.
Too much rain fell the first of the
week to suit the farmers in the foot
hills about Walla Walla,' and they are
registering a kick against the ele
ments. Those farmers would complain
if they were called upon to migrate to
heaven.
Geo. W. Bartmess is on trial at
Union, having been indicted for mur
der in the first degree for haying killed
Henry Sidell. Bartmess is a pioneer
of Union county and a highly respected
citizen, hence sentiment is strong in
his favor. . ..
The only person in the county thus
far heard from who was damaged by
Monday's shower was J. H. Blakeny.
He had about 60,000 brick on his yard
almost ready to be put in the kiln, and
the rain reduced them to mud. The
mud though can be gathered up and
remoulded, but it will be at a consider
able expense. '

horses at Floyd's place on Three-Mile,

A disastrous collapse in the English
cycle industry is regarded as inevitable
In the near future. The. leading com
panies all enormously increased their
output, while the demand for machines
is less than one-quarter what it was
this time last year." The stock of the
cycle companies has dropped all
around. American competition has
told heavily on the English trade. It
is now admitted that tbe American
machines are far better value at the
price than even the high grade and the
most renowned of the English makes.
The Victoria " diamond jubilee 'at
Portland closed Monday evening with
a grand banquet at Hotel Portland.
There were spreads for 148, and the
banquet lasted from 9:45 to 12. The
menu was par excellent and after din
ner speeches were spirited. James
Laidlaw, British consul at Portland,
presided. One of the happiest events
of the occasion was the presentation of
a tract of 107 acres to the city of Port
land to be used as a park by Donald
Macleay. Mr. Macleay being unable
to attend, the presentation was made
by R. Livingston, and was accepted by
Alderman Martin in behalf of the city.
Several years ago Mr. Wllkins, a
pioneer settler of Lane county,' was
stricken with paralysis, and he "has
been until recently unable to hear or'
dinaronversation, or articulate lan
guage that could be understood, says
the Eugene Guard. From some un
known cause, the faculty . of hearing
has been restored, and he is now able
to recognize sound and tbe meaning
thereof, which before was as jargon
and gibberish to his partly paralyzed
brain. With this return of the sense
of hearing and understanding the
meaning of words comes also a partial
restoration of his vocal powers, and be
is able to speak an occasional word.
Mr. Wllkins is 79 years of age. .

to some weight, have registered guesses
as to what the opening price will be
for thip season's crop, says tbe Tribune.
Eight persons have written down

Sophia Byers, and the average price
predicted is50i cents.
Twelve excursionists from San
Francisco arrived on the steamer Reg
ulator last evening, and after having
visited the sights in The Dalles, left
for Portland this morning. The ob
ject of the greatest attraction to them
was the warehouses of the city filled
with what to them seemed enough
wool to clothe the, entire 70,000.000
people of the nation.
James G. Smith, who left here about
the first of the month with a shipment
of 8000 sheep belonging to Kerr &
Buckley, writes to Geo. Brown, of the
stockyards, from Cntbank,' Montana,
that they arrived at that place safely,
but had lost about 800 sheep on the
trip. He states that the range in the
vicinity of Cutbank is excellent, and
the Oregon sheep sent there are thriv
ing. ' Within the last week this county
has been favored by several fine show
ers of rain, that of Monday afternoon
being the hardest thunder shower we
have had for several years. The
ground is wet down to a depth of per
haps four inches, and it would be im
possible to estimate the immense value
it has been to the suffering crops, which
were fairly gasping for rain. The farm
ers almost look upon It as having
rained 20-dollar gold pieces, or its
equivalent. Condon Globe.
J. P. McManus, formerly editor of
the Pendleton Tribune, the paper
which recently fell into the hands of
J. W Furnish, will on July 3d start a
new paper in Pendleton to be known
as the Pendleton Republican. Mr.
McManus is a bright newspaperman,
but he is wasting his energies when he
starts another paper in Pendleton.
The field there is already covered by

AS VIEWED BT WISE.
The San Francisco Wool Merchant 8a ins
np the Situation.
Harry Wise, of the well known firm
of Christy & Wise, wool merchants of
San Francisc, was in Pendleton the
other day, and to a newspaper reporter
gave his opinion of the wool outlook as
follows :
"The. season in California being
somewhat earlier than-in this section
the current wool business for the 189'
spring clips is fairly well cleaned up,
"Regarding the situation at the
present time, it may be said that prices
are considerably advanced over those
ruling for many week j past, and though
not yet up to what was paid during the
first bulge which was experienced
early in the season, they are good and
demand Is quite strong. It is my
opinion that prices will not advance
further this year, and that growers will
cot bive any materially higher offers
than are now being made by'the buy
ing concerns. The settlement of the
tariff question will make a difference,
in the way of more favorable prices.
but the benefit will not be felt in full
before next year when the 1898 clip is
moved on tbe market.
"The reason is not difficult to find
and may be given in few words. The
foreign wools which have been im
ported and are now on hand in J
Eastern centers act as a depressing in1
fluence and keep down home wools
from reaching the price normally to
be expected from the influence of tariff
legislation favorable to the wool Indus
try. You may look for next spring's
market operations to show more fully
the effect of the ending of the tariff
bill debate and the passage of a bill
giving higher rates on wools."

The Columbia Fruit Harvester.
A device for gathering prunes, plums,
peaches and similar fruits, known as
the Columbia Fruit Harvesters being
introduced here, and appears to be a
great labor saving device. It consists
of an apparatus the shape of an invert
ed umbrella, mounted upon a frame
similar to that of a wheelbarrow. The
device is placed under the tree so that
the fruit shaken off falls into the in
verted umberlla -and is conveyed to a
box without handling. By the use of
this apparatus, one man can easily
gather the fruit .from an orchard of
ten acres, thus saving" great expense
in gathering. It is a money saver to
the orchard is t, and is worthy the at
tention of fruit growers.

Devil's Canyon. Visited by a Destructive
Water Spout.
Monday afternoon a water spout oc
curred in Devil's Canyon, Sherman
county, that totally ruined the Harris
road leading to the free bridge' on the
Deschutes. At about 1:30 a small
dark cloud was seen in the heavens
above the canyon, and gradually ii
grew larger until as it began to settle
to the earth it appeared to blacken the
surrounding country. When the cloud
finally broke the rain began falling in
a perfect sheet and within 15 minutes
the entire face of the country in the
canyon was ; covered with a sheet of
water from - an inch to two feet in
depth. The storm struck at the head
of the canyon and increased in fury
until within about a mile of the De
schutes where it seemed to have spent
its force.
The Harris grade, from the head of
the canyon to within a mile and a
quarter of the river was washed but
almost completely, 'and all but one of
the bridges on the road were tojn out.
The Coon brothers were coming down
the grade with two large wool teams,
and were within a little over a mile of
the foot of the hill when overtaken by
the storm. .When the water rushed
down on them they immediately un
hitched their horses and got them out
on the hills, leaving their wagons to
the mei'sy of the water, but the wagons
were favorably situated, so they were
not washed off tbe grade. The Harris
road is almost completely ruined, and
will probably never be rebuilt.
Did It Rain Frogs?
The people of Moro are exercising
their imagination to fathom a mystery
that has developed at that place, and
have about concluded there was a
shower of frogs in that vicinity last
Monday. Alf Dllllnger. a prominent
farmer of Monkland, was caught out
in the shower and was thoroughly
drenched when he reached Moore's
store. He proceeded to take off bis
boots and empty the water out of them,
and while setting before the stove al
lowing his clothes to dry, two lively
little frogs hopped out of a hole in his
pants leg. Dillinger declared that the
frogs rained into his pants leg through
the hole they came out of, but some of
the Moro folks declare that it is a cus
tom of his to carry frogs around in his
pockets, as a sort of "hoodo" to bring
him good luck, just like sporting men
carry rabbits feet.
Yesterday while excavating for the
basement of the new school house on
Academy Park grounds, George Miller
discovered the skeleton of -a man bur
rled about 18 inches under the surface,
The bones were doubled up, appearant-
ly having been thrown into a small
hole and covered with a foot and
half of earth. The clothing and flesh
bad all decayed, but the bones were
in an excellent state of preservation,
and the entire skeleton was found with
tbe exdeption of the left leg. The
skeleton was turned over to Dr. Hoi-
lister, who will have them wired to
gether.
The grounds where the skeleton was
found were never used for burial pur
poses, therefore it is presumed the
man who was buried there was the
victim of some tragedy ' that occurred
in early days when human life was not
protected as it is now. . Possibly
stranger was murdered, and the crime
was covered up by depositing the body
in a place which In the early history of
The Dalles was a secluded precinct.
Certainly the remains had been buried
hastily, for had they been put away
under ordinary circumstances thj body
would not have been doubled up, but
would have been laid out straight. It
is one of those mysteries that will
never be solved, for murderers seldom
come back: and claim their victims or
parade their crime.
Now Belongs to the County.
Yesterday County Judge Mays, Com
missioner Blowers and Clerk Kelsay
inspected the new steel bridge across
the river at Hood River, and found it
filling the requirements of the contract
in every respect. The bridge was
therefore accepted and is now the
property of the county. The bridge is
constructed wholly of steel except tbe
joists and floor, . and rests on cement
piers, protected by steel casing, and is
very substantial structure, one that
should last for ages. . The bridge is a
span of 130 feet, reached by long ap
proaches on either side, and being
above the high water mark of 1894,
will not be affected by freshets or in
danger of being carried away. The
approaches on both sides will be com
pleted in about ten days, when the
bridge will be open for use. -..
' Just Suits the Lazy .
A doctor writing for some of' the
papers has immortalized himself and
made a lasting friend of those who are
naturally a little bashful about exert
ing themselves, by making this stat
ment: Nature takes the time when
one is lying down to give tbe heart
rest and that organ conesqnently makes
ten strokes less a minute than when
one U in an upright posture. Multiply
that by sixty minutes and it is 600
strokes. Therefore in eight hours
spent in lying down the heart Is saved
nearly 5,000 strokes, and as the heart
pumps six ounces of blood with each

Activity on the Columbia Southern.
Tuesday morning, In company with'
Mr. Wm. Holder, we took a trip down
to Biggs to witness the beginning of
work on the Columbia Southern Rail
way's road bed. We found many men
and teams at work making the grade;
and from the activity shown we feel
safe to say that the road la assured. It
is a positive fact. And its promoters
deserve the undivided support of Sher
man county. These men have had
much to contend with. They have
been assailed on all sides. Men who
should have been their friends have
fought the proposition to the bitter
end. But, for all of that, Mr. Lytle
bobs up serenely, and with a happy
smile for everybody, actually begins
work just at the tfme his enemies
thought he was dead. He has shown
that sort of pluck and energy that
builds railroads. He will laugh at
those who have foiled him more than
once and he who laughs last laughs
best. The company will endeavor to
complete the road by the middle of
August. Wasco News.

The Objection Mot Good.
There are people who have objec
tion to advertising matter in the read
ing columns of a newspaper. The
ground of objection is that they do
not want to read advertisements. Now
this objection is not good, for oft times
these advertisements convey valuable
information. For instance, how else
would the traveling public learn of the
excellent dining car service of the
Wisconsin Central Lines between St.
Paul and Chicago, or the general com
fort of traveling over this popular line
