If nature does not do something
toward drying the mud in the streets
befo-e the meeting of the Wool

find the streets in suci condition as
they are at present.

Indian War Veteran BUI.
The success of Sena'o. George W.
McBride's efforts to secure from con
gress suitable legislation in favor of
the meritorious claims of the Indian
war veterans of this section, will bring
him many letters of conmendation
from his Oregon constituents. There
are two thousand or more of these vet
erans in this state and inVashingtoo,
and certainly they deserve recognition
at the hands of the government. They
are for the most part, old pioneers.
and many of them are in actual need.
They freely gave their time and means
and risked their lives for the preser
vation of this section from the ravages
of the red men.

IT RIVAL!) KLONDIKE.
Ore Discovered la Grant County That Goes
16,000 to the Ton.
Last year several rich ledges of gold
bearing quartz were discovered in tbe
Susanville mining district says the
Blue Mountain Eagle. Also have
several rich ' discoveries been made in
mines in the Granite and Robinson
ville camps, but the latest aud richest
of all, similar in many respects to the
Klondike strikes, has been disclosed
near the famous old mining camp of
Canyon, City. Tbe Eagle in receipt of
the following relative to the discovery:
"Some excitement is prevalent here
in Canyon City by the recent strike in
the Great Northern mine, situated
about two miles southeast of Canyon
City. The Great Northern mine is
owned and operated by Isaac Guker,
having located the same in September,
1896. Two men have taken over $1000
from the claim with a mortar and pan
during the past week. The gold is
being taken from a cut 20 feet long and
iz ieet aeep, in waicn mere is an ex
ceedingly rich ledge 12 or 14 inches in
width, and which makes an average
yield of $8 to the pound, aggregating
$16,000 to the ton. In one instance
$82.50 was secured from four pounds of
decomposed quartz.
'The surface prospects about the
same for 3o feet. One shaft 16 feet
deep, and about ten feet from the cut,
is equally as rich.
"There is a tunnel on the claim 25
feet long with rich prospects besides
the ledge, which is very rich quartz.
The gold is mostly wire gold, with
some flour gold.
"It wa on Mr. Guker's claim that
Clark Bros, found the pocket last fall
which contained $1500."

typical Western man. He has killed
two men, both in .elf-defence; one in
Harney county and one in Alaska.
The one in Harney was named Egan.
Jack was too quick for Egan, "got the
drop" oo him and was exonerated by a
coroner's jury. In the year 188C, Jack
brought two fine horses into Burns
one day. They were claimed by Uma
tilla men, who sent six officers with a
warrant for Jack. But be got away,

to "Dalton." Five years ago in
Alaska he killed his second man. Ho

courage, generous and true, -who be

Jacob Frits Answered the Last Call to
Taps.
Jacob Fritz is no more. He breathed
his last at his home oo Liberty street
last night after a long illness with kid
ney troubles, surrounded by his family
and frieuds. In his death Tbe Dalles
has lost a good and respected citizen
and the nation a man, though an
adopted son, who gave many years ta
its service.
Jacob Fritz was born in Nassau,
Nuderzengheim, Ant Hadmar, Ger
many, October 14, 1828, and with his
parents came to America when 16
years of age. They located in St,
Mary's, Peon., where deceased was
given tbe advantage of a good educa
tion that fitted him for tbe occupations
of his a'ter life. Shortly after arriv
ing at his majority he enlisted in the
regular army, being detailed to service
at Fort Brady, Mich., in tbe Fourth
U. S. Infantry, under Col. Brady, and
was attached to the quartermaster's
department as quartermaster sargeaot.
At the expiration of his first enlist
ment he re-enlisted, and was attached
to Col. Bonneville's regiment which
was ordered to tbe Pacific coast
With his regiment Mr. Fritz came
by way of New York and the Isthmus
of , Panama to the coast, arriving at
Vancouver, Wash., in the fall of 1852.
While crossing the isthmus, he and
Lieutenant U.. S. Grant (afterwards
general and president) were in charge
of the comissary department, hence
were in -the rear of the main body
which was stricken with colera, when
150 Midlers fell victims to that -dreadful
disease. :
' .Arriving at "Vancouver Mr. Fritz
was retained as clerk in the quarter
master's department, and served in
that capacity until the breaking out of

and enlisted in the Oregon volunteers,
and was stationed at Walla Walla
until the close of tne war. When

clerk, which position he held until
that ..corporation merged into the O.
R. & N. Co., when - he was given the.
same place with the O. R. ft N. and
held it until the time of his death. In
1856 Mr. Fritz was married to Sarah
A. Collins, a native of Rochester, N.
Y., at . Vancouver. The result of this
marriage was ten children, five girls
and five boys, all but three of whom,
together with his aged wife, are still
living. Those of the children living

A BRUIT AL DEED.
James Fits snot by William E trior In
Morrow County.
On Wednesday tbe 2d, a farmer by
the name of William Ewing, who
lives on Willow Creek, in Morrow,
county, about 20 miles south of Arling
ton, shot and fatally wounded James
Fitz, a sheep herder in the employ of
C. A. Rbea. From what can be
learned of the shooting it appears to
have been a bruital and cold blooded
assault.
Some of the sheep Fitz was herding
had got onto Ewing's land. Ewing
armed himself with a revolver and
taking two young men with him. went
out where the sheep were with the in
tention of driving them into an en
closure and keeping them until Rhea
should pay him damages. Fitz objected.
to Ewing bothering the sheep, and
started toward Ewing having a light
cane in his hand. When only a few
steps away Ewing fired striking Fitz in
the right side. He fired a second shot
that took effect in the herder's right
arm. After the shooting, Ewing left
the wounded man lying on the' ground
and calling his assistants ceralled the
sheep.
Fitz was so badly wounded that he
could not walk, and being abandoned
by his assailant, crawled a mile to his
cabin. Dr. Geisendorffer, of this city,
was called to attend the wounded man,
and found him in a very dangerous
condition, there being but little
chance of his recovery.
Ewing has been arrested and taken
to Heppner, where he Is being held In
jail.
One on Klmberk.
Deputy Sheriff F. W. Kimbert, of
Pendleton, recently took a prisoner to
Salem and deposited him In one of
the lock boxes there for safe keeping
for two years and six months, says tbe
Baker City Republican. One of the
rustlers on the Statesman got his feet
and led pencil tangled up with bis
brains and note book and announced
In bis journal that the prisoner was F.
W. Kimberk. As a matter of fact,
Mr. Klmberk has none of the ear
marks of a criminal, so he had no
trouble at all in convincing the
Statesman that "some one had blund
ered." i

iu Umatilla Connty.
Preparations are being made for
commencing operations on the ex
periment farm to be started at Stoker,
under the auspices of tbe O. R. & N.
Co. as soon as spring opens. Stokes is
on the line of the O. R. & N. between
Umatilla and V allula, where the com
pany has set aside 160 acres, for the
irrigation of any part of which -the
Bailey ditch is accessible, so that ex
periments can be made in growing
various plants with or without irriga
tion. The farm will be in sight of
passing trains, and passengers who
desire will be allowed to stop there to
examine the workings of tbe schema.
Among tbe plants which are to be
experimented with at first are cotton,
sorghum, alfalfa, tobacco, peanuts,
sweet potatoes,' Austrian brawn eras?,
red clover, bemp. flax, German millet,
Russian grass, rape seed, vetches, etc.
A lot of tobacco S"ed from Virginia
has arrived for this farm, and seme
imported seed will come in a few days.
The company will have bardy varieties
of apples and other varieties of fruit
to be experimented with.
The farm at Stokes will bo the cen
tral experiment station, but seeds and
plants will be furnished to farmer in
arid and semi-arid sections, who desire
to supplement the work of tbe company
and test for themselves the adapta
bility of tbe various plants for cultiva
tion in their localities.
The farm will be under tho charge cf
Industrial Agent R. C. Judson, assisted
by competent help. There is no doubt
as to the feasibility of raising nearly
every one of the plants above men
tioned successfully in tbe section be
tween TJ-natilla and Walla Walla,
where water is available for such as ro
quire it. Mr. Bailey, who has an irri
gating ditch there, has sold 200 acres
of bis land to California parties, arid
several families are now on their way
there to engage in the raising of water
melons, for which that section is par
ticularly adapted.
