Gecr, of the Cove, thinks if or chardists would not maintain breeding pla ces for pests, there would not be so many. He says: If orchardists will keep their or chards clean, the dead limbs and decayed blemishes removed from their trees, I be lieve in a few years the fruit pests will be non est. A mob of about forty masked men broke into the Jail at Oystorville, Wash., last Sat urday night and killed John Hose and Jack Edwards, two men convicted ot murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged, but the supreme court reversed the decision and a new trial was granted the men, which caused dissatisfaction, hence the killing. The men were shot down in their cells A. B. Conley, one of the Mogul farmers of Grande Itonde, sent an agent this week to Arkansas to procure from fifteen to twenty negro farm hands. The moral to this little bit of information is that farm hands are a scarce article when most needed. This is especially the case during the harvest sea son. It would seem that there should be no necessity for this importation of niusclo but it is only a small portion of idle men in the towns who are very badly stuck on work, and they cannot be relied upon in cases of emergency. Gazette. Last Sunday, April o, Willie Jones, aged 8 years, was killed by a horse, says the Bor der Signil. The family had been out driv ing and on their return homo the manly littlo fellow was helping his father to un hitch his team. He took the bridle off but was unable to get the reins over the horse's head, and in trying to do so became entan gled in the bridle. This so frightened the animal that it ran away and dragged the little fellow to death. He died in a very short time and was buried last Tuesday. Thu bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community. Pronounced Hopeless, Yet Saved. From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd of Groton, S.

Albert Pike, one of the highest masons in the world, died at. the Homo of the Supreme Council of tho lioyal Order of Scotland, in Washington, on the evening of the first of April. The cause of his death was paralysis of tho throat. The semi-annual statement of the financial condition of tho county will be found in this issue. This should have been published sooner, but the necessary blanks failed to arrive until after the paper was published last week, which caused the delay. Jesse Albcrson, of Huntington, was in the city last week. He informs us that he has sold out his store at Eagle valley and is erecting a two-story brick in Huntington to be used as a store with hall overhead. Huntington, he says, is lively and a good trading point. Now is tho time to brighten up your premises by using paint freely, for nothing adds more to tho general ap pearance of a town, or makes a more favorable inijcession on strangers than neatly painted houses and fences. It is an evidenco of the good taste, neat ness and thrift of the people. James Quinn, who was severely in jured by a runaway team while plow ing about a year ago, has gone to Port land and is now at the Good Samari tan Hospital, where ho will undergo a difficult, but it is thought not dan gerous surgical operation.

Union county, Oregon, has the same number of population nn Union county Kentucky. Everybody well and digging up the toil, in high hopes of a fine ctvp. Wo all intend to do our duly and depend upon the nlonn king to do his. The roads are in fine trim for this early period. We must coon be treat ed to a soaking rain or it will result in a dry spoil at tho wrong end of the ma chine. Our school npeiied on the 13th with Mr. .Seymour Oorpe in command. He has taught two term? here before. For a good, proficient teacher he is the lit tle old man of the woods. Wo wonder why the new city coun cil has not dug up that cow ordi nance that Mayor Wright earnest ly recommended in his message. It cows can forage and live on the city streets, why tun rout the privilege to the highest bidder for revenue onlv. ALIOBL NOTES. Alicki,, Oregon, April 11, 1S01. Your school tax is now duo.

A special t-chool meeting was called for district No. -1(5 to till a vacancy in the board of directors, caused by the resignation of G. W. Kuckman. Tho re sult of the meeting was the election of S. O. .lolinson for the term of two years. Tho little imp lias belched forth at us and that horrid preacher, but you area bad boy and need to be chastised, and oh how you do sing. Your voice sounds like one of those I'olo Angus black nuilies. If they wont let you in the choir at Summervillo and you can start the Doxology as well as you say you can perhaps you had better move out to Kettlobeliy and they will let you lead the orchestra out there.
