Washmaton, tf. PORTLAND OREQO From the John Day Sentinel. On last Friday, January 8tb, occurred Bt Canyon City the execution of Ming How the Chinaman who was convicted of the Murder of Ah Fub, on September 24th. Early in the forenoon on the day of the exeoution people began to arrive Canyon from all directions, each bent on seeing the condemned Chinaman's "pig tail snap on the gallowB," and before noon the streets of the plaoe were almost thronzed with people. Chinamen were seen trailing in from all directions, each apparantly breathing down malediotionB upon the man whose life would now soon pay the penalty for one of the most horrible murders ever oommitted by mortal man. Shortly before the hour set for the ex eoution Lung On, the interpreter, wai called into the cell where the condemned man awaited his fate, and the death warrant read and interpreted by him The twelve witnesses were then summon ed to the scene of the exeoution and awaited the arrival of the victim. How ever they were not held in suspense long, as the last one had soarcely arrived when a dull, heavy tread was heard on the stairs; the door was opened and Ming How, looking pale and haggard was ushered upon the scene by Sheriff Cresap and Deputy Sheriff Yergerson The Chinaman seemed a trifle nervous bat considering the ciroumstanoes, he apparently oonsigned himself to the in evitable in a very calm and composed manner. His hands were tied by Deputy Yergerson, the Chinaman meanwhile watching very olosely every move made by Yergerson while in this aot. Lang On, the interpreter was then called who asked him if t rbad anything to say befort, biiria oiecited. He replied wmat was interpreted to us to be: "I killed Ah Fuh and have nothing to say." He was then led out directly under the gal lows and his les strapped together. During this part of the preparation he began to reel to and fro and would have undoubtedly fallen to the floor had not Mr. Cresap taken bold of him and stead ied him. Just as the rope was being slipped over his head; he looked straight at Lung On and said what was afterward interpreted to the reporter to be : "That's all right." The black cap Was then drawn over bis faoe, the soaffold tripped by Sheriff Cresap and the condemned Chinaman desoended like a shot a dis tance of eight feet tightening the rope with a sickening thud. He gave several jerks with his shoulders and then all was quiet. It took about ten minutes from the time he was led up the stairs onto the scaffold until he was dangling at the end of the rope, utterly imperviouB to the maledictions being poured out upon him by his fellow oountrymen, who were scattered profusely along the fence and on the adjoining hill. In about 8 minutes after the fall Drs. Ashtord&Fell.the examining physicians, pronounced bim dead and the witnesses repaired to the sheriff's office and sign ed the death warrant. Here came the most trying part of the whole soene to the reporter. For lo ! after signing his name he was about to resign it as he could not bring himself to believe that those hiero glyphics which stared him in the face could be his signature. So intent was he on watching the exeoution that he did not realize that his nerves had been considerably shocked. After the allotted time which the ex ecuted is required to hang by the neck had exoired. be was lowered into the coffin and taken in charge by tbe under taker, who hauled him out to the ceme tery and buried him along side the two oriminals who had previously been hung in Canyon. The execution was a complete success in avery particular; the exeouted was un doubtedly unconscious as soon as be reached the end of the rope, and the gal lows worked to perfection. Muoh oredit is due Sheriff Cresap in not keeping the oomlemned man in suspense any great length of time. Should a stranizer have visited the court yard at the time of the execution, it would have been difficult to convince him that so solemn an ocoaaion as tbe taking of a human being's lite on the scaffold was the oause of the gathering there. The crowd had more She appear ance of a party of picknickers waiting for an excursion train, than a ooncourse of people witnessing a irfrwff (king -his departure from this lirnile the doctors were making tbeir nunl examina tion of the deceased someone had the audacity to ask Dr. Fell to remove his cigar, as the smoke might be oiensive to the oorpse. Shortly after the execution was over the road between John Pay and Canyon was literally lined with oelestials re turning home, and each wearing a smile of sweet revenge. It seems that the ex ecuted Chinaman was a sort of a stray sheep, so to speak, for whom his country men had no use, and were .all glad to know that he was out of the way. III Made From The Old One Called Heppner. The Voting Place Changed In Cecil clnct for.ConvenieDce, Sake. Hlill SOUR HASH. A White Woman With a Chinese Husband. Spokane Review. A full-blooded Mongolian with a full- blooded Cauoasian for a wife was the strange anomaly that greeted the night clerk of the Columbia hotel late on Mon day evening. The gentlemnn with the queue walked up to the register with the dignity of an fcnglish duke and subscribed the name of L. J. Vinagnr and wife, San Franoisoo. Accompanying the couple was an un developed speoimen of a poodle dog. The women was apparently about 25 years of age and a pronounced brunette, while her esoort was abigh-oheek-boned Chinaman. The couple attraoted con Biderable attention from the guests of the house and comments of all sorts were ventured. They seemed plentifully supplied with cash and were apparently happy in each other's confidence. During yesterday the reputed wife of the Moogol dropped remark to the effect thut Mr. Vinagar was merely ber Chinese cook andnother husband at all and that she was en route to Vancouver to join ber family. This oircumstaace led to an ipvestigation on the party of the hotel proprietor, but be. fore he had unearthed tbe mystery Mrs Vinagar and her pigtail icort bad pack ed their gripsacks and were on their way to tbe depot. )' Frigh', Staunoluji florae wiif" nun J ONE PRECINCT NOT CORRECTLY BOUNDED.

About one mile from town on G. W, Rea's land is a natural location for s reservoir site. It would require little work to complete it, but an ohjeotion is urged that it would require too muoh pipe to reaoh it, as it could not be bi ought down directly, but around the base of the hill. It might be a good idea, however, for our oounoil to give the matter more thoroug investigation. Gen. Datus E. Coon, of Sun Diego, prominent member of Grand Army oir- cles and the National Union Veteran Le gion, has telegraphed President Harri 80uaskiog permission to raise a brigade ot troops for Chile. The old soldiers do not like the action of that country rela tive to matters now under consideration, and in oase there is fighting to do, want to help. America is patriotic A COLONIZATION SC1IKMK. Land to be Divided Into hmall Tracts in the Kant End of Umatilla. From the E. O. Charles H. Dodd & Co., ot Portland have purchased 200 aores of land in the Mud Creek neighborhood, in the eastern part of Umatilla oounty, and will lay it out into ten and twenty aero lots, with streets and avenues between. Hoirs of the John McDonnald estate who own 200 aores, will probably do the same. The land is admirably adapted to fruit raising', may be irrigated, and beautiful homes can be provided for from thirty to forty families. The idea is to affjr opportunity for a oolony of home seekors, and is an excellent plan for the develop mpnt of the country. This is the first movement of the kind ever attempted in Eastern Oreaon. but the method haB been adopted with great success In Southern California. Locating on tbe land and working together for common advantage, the oolony may soon be able to make the traot which they purchase bloom and blossom as the proverbial Both the East Oregnnian and Hepp ner Gazette issned creditable New Year's editions, descriptive of Umatilla and Morrow counties.

YOUTHl'UI, HLIiOLAItS. Thev Attempt to Rob Joe liatin' S.ilonn at Prairie City. John Day Sentinel. Last Thursday night Jerry Dailey and Burt Babcock, two youths ot I'rairie city, made an unsuccessful attempt to rob tho saloon of Joe Bates at that plaoe, Theyiwere discovered just in tbe nick o' time by Deputy Marshal Ouerney, who immediately proceeded to arrest them. To this the young hoodlums objected, and endeavored to take leg-bail for security, but a ball from Mr. Guerney's revolver soon persuaded them to stop. The shot took effect in Dniley's lpft leg just below the knee. At last accounts they were languishing in the Prairie City jail. This may serve as a lesson to the rest of the hoodlum element of that plaoe, which is rather too abundant in that otherwise orderly town. Both boys are from highly respectable families, and it is a shame and disgrace that they should oonduct themselves iu such a Pendleton Tribune: Dan. MoKeen, a 10-year-old boy of Camas Prairie, was taken to the reform Bohool at Salem last week. For somo time ho has been liv ing at the home of bis unolenear Ukiah, and has become notorious in the com munity for bin vaiious freaks of bad oon duct. Umatilla oounty has some more boys who might do better in the reform school. The boundary lines of lone precinct not being oorreot, were re established as follows: Beginning at the northwest oorner of township 1 south, range 23 east, W. M., thenoe Bouth 9 miles, thenoe east 9 miles, thence north 3 miles, tlrenoe east 3 miles, tueoce north 6 miles, thenoe east to tbe southeast corner of township 1 north range 24 eaBt, thence north 3 miles thence west 6 miles, thence south 3 miles, thenoe west 6 miles to place of beginning. Tbe voting place of Cecil precinct was changed from Filkins school house to Douglas station. IIUGIIICS--WELCH WEIHJINU.

The prestige of the Royal Baking Powder and its constant success are matters of anxious con cern to envious competitors. It is noted that advertisements of other baking1 powders are filled with spleen, malice and -misrepresentation against the Royal, more than with honest claims as to their own goods. That the Royal Baking Powder makes finer, whiter, sweeter, more wholesome cookery, the ladies who have tried other kinds are willing to testify and tell their neighbors; this fact is a serious concern to all competitors. The superb quality of the Royal Baking Pow der, over and above all other kinds, is never so manifest as when tried in comparison. It has greater strength and docs not deteriorate with age, the last spoonful in the can being as good as the first. All over this country the "Royal" has the lead; this is why makers of other brands, envious of its sale and popularity, talk so much about it.
