W. T. Carroll's Travels ami
Experiences.
! SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
Return of an Old Pioaeer A Serious Acci
dent Near flummorvllle Cat
tle Bafily Injured.
W. T. Carroll and family returned home
j lat Thursday after a pleasant and extend
! od tour through Oregon. California. Wash
ington and British Columbia. Mr. Carroll
left this city on June 1st last, stopping first
at Portland whore he remained a few days
in the metroHlis, after which he vMtel the
prineitml towns in tho Willamette valley.
He remained for some time vKitlug rela
tives in Harnsburg and Brownsville, lie
then made a tour of California, going us far
south as Los Angeles, stopping for a short
time at all the principal towns on the way,
but remained most of tho time at Cambria
where he has relatives. The main object of
Mr. Carroll's vlit to California was for the
benefit of his wife's health, she beliu mulct
ed, with weak eyes. While there slu was
under the treatment, for six weeks in San
Francisco, of one of the best ocuKsN on the
Pacific coast, and. we are pleased to state,
that she is much Improved inhe.ihli. Dur
ing their visit Mr. Carroll and family im
proved every opportunity to "take in" the
sights and enjoy the many luxuries of the
Golden State. Among other plea -ures they
took an ocean voyage along the co.ist from
Port Hartford to San Pedro. They also
''gathered shells from the sea shore,'' as It
were, and brought hmue a fine collection.
After finishing their visit in California they
started northward and ''isited all the towns
in Western Washington ami British Colum
bia, including Nanaimo. where Mr. Carroll
has a sister living, after which they re
turned home, being glad to meet their
many friends in Union one more, and
were tlie recipients of a hearty welcome
from all who know them. California, tak
en as a whole, Mr. Carroll thinks it a great
state, and affords many luxurie, hut that
there are several places in Oregon with
much better combined surroundings ami
facilities for the enjoyment of life than can
bo found in a majority of towns throughout
California, The society, for instance, being
more preferablo here. As to agricultural
lands Mr. Carroll informs us he saw none
better than in Grande Hondo valley, and
thinks our farmers aro better oil than in
many places he has visited. Mr. Carroll
has great faith in Union, and thinks an op
portunity now presents Itself, which, if
properly met, will greatly tend to the up
building of our little cit .'.
The sixth annual convention of the Ore
gon State Sunday School Association will
be held in the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, Eugene City, commencing Tuesday
ovening, May 19th, and closing the follow
ing Thursday evening. This is a mass con
vention, and all interested in the Sunday
school work aro invited to bo present. Ev
ery Sunday school in the state is urged to
sec that one or more persons are present to
represent their school. Arrangements will
bo made for the usual reduced fares on the
railroads, and also to have a number of
leading Sunday school workers present. A
programme of topics to be discussed at tho
convention can be had by addressing E. W.
Allen, Portland, Oregon.
Once again it is the pleasant duty of the
Democrat to chronicle the return to Baker
City o: an old pioneer of the county after
an absence of several years. To the sur
priseof all his old-time friends Joseph II.
Sliinn, brother of tho late Jamos II. Shiiin,
alighted from the cast bound train yester
day afternoon and since his arrival has been
kept busy shaking hands with old-tlmo
friends. In 18GfJ Mr. Shinn was elected
clerk of Bakcrcounty and in 18GS was re
elected. After his term of office expired ho
remained hero until SS7ft when he went to
La Grande as receiver of tho land olllce.
Later he moved to Union and in 1881 went
to California whero ho has since resided. 1 lo
returns after an absence of ten years and
seos many change, tho greatest of which is
the absence of old friouds who havo passed
to the Great Beyond. However, many yet
remain to grasp him cordially by tho hand
and talk of the good old days, and it brings
back many reminisconeos of tho past. Ba

A Suinmorvillo correspondent to the El
gin Recorder says : .serious accident oc
curred four miles northwest of Summerville
at the residence of J. Fiuehor on March 8.
Tho parents went out visiting leaving the
children at home; the oldest girl while at
work around tho stove set lire to her dress
and observing it told her brother to throw
water oh her. He, being excited, seized
some hot water oil tho stove and threw it
on her burning her seriously. Tho fire was
put out by tho children but not until the
child was burned badly. She is still alive
but in a dangerous condition,
Two carloads of cattlo recently shipped to
Portland from Eagle valley were tun off tho
scalos in the terminal yards near the Nor
thern Pacific freight dopot Tuosduy night
of last week. Ono carload belonged to Ben
Long ley and the other to II. S. McGowan.
Tho car with Longley's cattle was tipped
oyer to such an angle that the cattle were
all thrown together in Ono end and many of
them wereeonsiderably bruised and injured,
The poor bea?U wero left In this position
until half past seven o'clock the following
morning, when the huinano officer insisted
Uiat tltoy be put out of their mUory as soon
as poaelble. The avoidant was largely due
to careloMiieii.

ha- 1,010.000 a gain of but -J00,00. It looks
now as though New York would soon be
playing second fiddle to Chicago as well
In 1SS0 New York had 1.200,000 and now
she has 1,513.000, or a gain of a little out

wakingup. Atlanta with 31,000 in 1SS0 now
has (15,500 nearly doubling her former pop
ulation. Birmingham. Ala., with less than
10,000 in 1850, now has 2S,000. San Fran
cisco's increase ha been a little disappoint
ing, but she has passed Cincinnattl in the
race in a )iandome manner and is now .Sh,
pretty fur behind Baltimore with her 113,
000. The Atlas publishers will reap n harvest
this year, as the census statistics and new
maps, etc., causes an immense boom in the
business, We take the above figures from
the Standard Atlas of the World, which will
in all probability sell by thousands, as it is
one of the most complete and accurate
works of the kind we have ever seen.
It Is safe to say that the first agent in the
field will fairly coin money, as wo all want
the new census statistics and the new fea
tures in this Atlas which commends it to
overyliody. The History Company of San

and we call attention to their advertisement
