S. cavalry, in com mand of 2nd Lieut. 11. II, Sargent, passed here on Monday on routo to Fort Walla Walla. They have been stationed at Fort Bidwell, Cal., and were relieved by G troop of tho same regiment. The collapso of the "Bunch Grass Blade" and the advent of a now journ al entitled the "Lexington Budget" at Lexington, Morrow county, has taken place, recently. The founders of the "Budget" are practical printers and newspaper men, well known and ener getic, and will no doubt make u suc cess of it. Tho North Powder Amateur Theat rical troupe will give their first enter tainment, a drama entitled "Above the Clouds," at Spencer's hall on Tuesday evening under tho management of Mr. Bcale of La Grande.' Tho play is first class and should draw a crowded house. Tho proceeds will bo donated to the Baptist church fund nnd as tho troupe are so liberal the people should manifest as much interest as to greet them with a crowded house, thereby not only cncouiaging home talent but aiding with their dimes the church or ganization in completing their new edifice soon to be erected in this place. The lumber flume now being con structed for Messrs. Kellogg, Punch it Co. is 8 inches at the bottom, 30 inch es at the top, and 1G inches in depth and will be about seven miles in length, terminating on their laud one mile up the river.

Tho company expects to save the cost of construction, right of way, etc., within twelve mouths, in tho way of trans portation as price paid at present amounts lo $2.50 per thousand feet. Ajax. KK.NKWH HKK YOUTH. Mm. Phaibe Che lcy, Petewon, Clay coun ty, Iowa, tell thu following remarkable to ry, tie truth of which I vouched for by the rcildenU of the town: "I am 73 yeur old, have been troubled with Kidney complaint and lauirnea for many jean; could not tlre inyielf without help. Now I am trte from all pain and orrn, and am able to do all tuy own homework. I owo uy think to Hectriv HUUr for Imvlni,' renewed uiy youth, and rrworrd completely all dloeutti aMtjMiu." Try ltu, ilr V) wmn i ::.u;i.m vai.lky. Nut Itond Oprnul" Outlook Tor tho Win t?t tJ.uonl Int'lllj;once. Health of this community is good. The mountains are covered with snow. The new Craig school house is com pleted. Ranchmen are rounding up their slock. Mr. Sam'l. Gover is preparing to build a large barn. Largo numbers of fat cattle for sale, but no buyers yet. Tho Chandler boys arc preparing to ship their cattle casd. Mr. Ben Ixmgly is in Chicago with twelve car loads of eheep. We had a nice rain, recently, and everything is prosperous here. Plenty of hay for salo here at $5 and $G por ton, with good places to feed stock. Rev. Yoeum hold a series of meet ings at tho Swisher school houre, re cently. The Chandler Bros, have received a large stock of goods and tiro selling at very low pi ices. We understand that our sister valley Pine is covered with about four inches of snow. Everything looks beautiful yet, as tho alfalfa meadows stand one foot high and perfectly green. Mr. Louis Furgason is building a largo barn which will add greatly to 1 he convenience of his place. W. M. Kirby's mother and brother started for Mivouii a few days ago whero they will make their future homo. We regret very much to learn that Dr. O'Connor, of Pino valley, is going to be absent this winter as it will leave Pino and Eaglo valley without a doctor. Mr. Leandcr Furgason has traded his band of horses to Mr. Rube Smith for his ranches on Lower Powder. The value paid was about if 0,000. We regret Vi ry much to lmvo Mr. Furga son leave, for ho is a good, substantial citizen. The road supervisor, with his many hands, opened up the Powder river road a few days ago, and the citizens are very glad to know that they have a road to travel out on in tho winter nu well as summer. Wo hope tho county commissioners will make a leasonablo donation for its completion. K. SMITING CATTI.K The Hound MurltnU Supplied With lleef Sliljipml Through I'ortlaml. Tho number of cattle shipped through this city this season for the Sound markets has been surprisingly large. There has hardly been a day but at least three or four car loads of cattle have been sent over tho Tacoma road, and tho average Iiiih been at lciibt four. About thirty beef cattle can bo put in an ordinary cattle car, henco the average daily shipments would bo 120. A train of thirteen cattlo ears was standing in the yard in the north end this morning, awaiting shipment, but though it seemed to astonish strangers when told that this number was not unusually large, tho employees about tho yards and depots did not appear very much surprised, .because they frequently have to handlo as many as eighteen car loads of cattlo in one shipment. Thcso cattlo como from all parts of the country. Some of them from Eastern Oregon, but of late tho greater part of thcin come from tho southern and the southeastern portion of tho State. In this connection it might bu interesting to note that the Huislaw region in Southwestern Oiogon is rap idly coming into prominence us n cattle-growing section. A great deal of that country is exceedingly swampy and can produce nothing except grass and hay, and can hardly ho put to any other uso than for producing cattlo. Portland Exchange. A WARNING. Tho modes of death's approach are various, and statistics chow conclusive ly that more people dio from diseases of tho throat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone without exception, receives vast numbers of tubercle germs into thu, system nnd where thoi-o germs fall upon suitable soil they start into lifo and develop, at first slowly nnd is (shown by a slight tickling sensation in tho throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to tho lungs producing con sumption and to thu head, causing en tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time ouiiko dentil. At the outot you must uut with promptness ; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and muy loxi you your life. An iooii mm you feel tliut Hiniiuthlng U wrong with your throat, lungs or uoMrils, obtain a LoUlu of liotHiliiH)' (Jvnuuit Hyruji. II will lVn yrtu linnii'ilrurii relief. THE COVE.
