The Walla Walla Journal says; Our fruit raisers already besriu to realize the blessing conferred upon them by the building of tho O. A W. T. railroad by tf. W Hunt. Talk about public benef.ietors, but this man comes nearer deserving the noble title than any other man that ever walked the .streets of Walla Walla. This is not gusli, but a ciystaliztd fact. A terrible tragedy occurred Friday on Doako's ranch near Palouse City, W. T. A threshing crew was at work, when Geo, llumasou appeared, armed with a Win chester ritle. and, without warning, shot his brother, killing liini instantly.

All but ono of the grand jury recommended punishment by lino of $1000 only, but the court said the light was a gross ami systematically ar ranged violation of the laws of Mississippi, and tiio sentence was 'imprisonment for twelve months."

The above mentioned individual struck Union lust Friday and preached in the open air on Main street that evening and Saturday evening.lle is a veritable curi osity, a combination of crank, religious fanatic and tramp. He travels on foot, dressed In ragged clothing, sleeps on the ground, and in his wanderings is accom panied by a dog. His announcement read as follows: "Free lecture to-night, at 8 p. in., in the open air on Main street, by a Bulgarian monk of the Christian church of Jerusalem, Palestine. Subject: To con vert all American preachers and pne.-ts to be ClirKtiaus." lie harangued to a largo crowd cadi evening, and. from a Christian standpoint, Iiis.discourse contained much that was intercf-ting and true. He scored the preachers unmercifully, assertiim that in their lust for tho good things of this life they had forgotten tho life-giving prinei plet. of their faith and degenerated into bubbling hypocrites, and that if the lowly Kazarcne should vi.-it this country, as he once did Palestine, he- would be kicked out of two-thirds of the churches. He deplored the. credulity with which women in general accepted the demands of modern priest craft, and gave their time, Ice cream, cake and hot coffee to support preachers in idle ness. His word pictures of scenes in the Holy Land were very interesting, and ids description of tho approach of death was as vivid and realistic as anything we ever heard. The general opinion was that he preached more real Christianity In his two .sermons than had been heard in this town for several years. After his discourse on tiie last evening he passed out into the night and was gone, no one knows where. Taken altogether he is a harmless old crank, .sincere in his religious convictions, and in his efforts to reform tho world the good predominates. Jew I.ee Jllleil. Jew Lee. our esteemed fellow townsman and proprietor of the wash houe, visited La Orande this week. We paid no atten tion to the mutter at the time, thinking he had only gone to dun some of Ids delin quent subscribers who were owing hhn for editing tlielr shirts several years ago. Since his return, however, we smell a pretty good sired "laf and infer from his rather unin telligible remarks that there is a move on foot to subsidize him and get him to move the Wash house to La Grande, but that the amount offered is not atisfuctory. "Too iniichce dam foolco no good," said the irate Mongolian, "Hjiosee he llkce pay mo two liiuidcld dolla. allce lite, ino move Nig Lande, he talkee seventeen dolla hop and tlee lent, blcinby Mayol (ilandy he give contluct fol altcsian well, heap waler sec ond wuld, heap workeo, heap money, hclluf good time.

The Weston Leader say-.: ''The survey ing outfit of the O. it W. T. road, under Mr. Shaw, surveyor, were encamped below town Thursday and Friday. They have been engaged in running lines over the Blue mountain from Athena to the Uma tilla, and thence to the summit, since they were last here. In conversation, the re porter learned that they had found about the samogrado on these lines as they se cured via Looking (ilas, but we are assured that the line would be much more expen sive both in construction and in operating the same, besides a less prolitabb route on account of almost the entire dls(ancafrom the Umatilla reservation to the vallev is unproductive, while on the other baud the entire line across thn mountain by the Looking (Mass route is .susceptible of culti vation, and almost to the summit is now under cultivation and producing immense crops of grain, hay and fruits.

The water supply at La (iranile seems to be very limited, and what there is of a very unhealthy ipiality. The council has taken the matter in hand and will do what it can to procure water from some source if pos sible. The in :i lie says: In relation to the subject of a water sup ply, a considerable interest has lately been taken in the question of artesian wells. The success in this line in Baker City, in Idaho is well as in some parts of Fastcrn Wash ington, would seem to indicate that an ar tesian well might novo successful here. Baker City is in about the saiuo condition and is prospecting for artesian water. The ! Dfnuiiiiil says; The condition of Powder river at the present time is horilble to contemplate and if the citv Is not isited by an epidemic this fall it will be a surprise. Our lemUrs will note the contrast be tween the above named places and Union. Here we have an inexhaustible supply of as pure cold water as ever was poured out of the bosom of the mountains. Wells may bosunk anywhere and the best of water obtained, Water in abundance courses down each side of our streets, nourishing shade trees and making a most delightful coolness. It seems strange that towns situated so near us should bo in a condi tion no better than if they were situated on tho biizzard-swept plains of Dakota, hav ing to place their reliance for healthful water on the douiitful experiment of sink ing artesian wells.
