W. R ManufacturingCo., arrived last evening to visit "the trade" in this vi cinity. He will shortly leave forGilliam, Crook and Grant oountieB. Dr. Grant's remedies are meeting with an unpreced ented demand, solely from tbe faot that all have merit, and are compounded from prescriptions which have been thor oughly tried by the doctor while prac ticing medicine.

We have often been asked by manv of those who get mail at Eight Mile, if it were not possible to have the stage time changpd so that the mail wutild leave here Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, instead of Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat urdays bb it now goes, as tbe former days they say would suit them much better. In the eveut that it would be possible to get this change, the stage would remain in Heppner over Sunday instead of Lone Rock as under tbe old vrrangement, and as Heppner parties have this contract, it would seem that it would be much more satisfactory for them to remain at borne over Sunday than at Lone Rock. Valcablb Discovery. Within the last few days a valuable disoove'y has been made by HoskiDS Bros. & Co. on tbe headwaters of Trout creek, iu tbe form of an immense deposit of opals of tbe finest quality. Tney are said to exoel the opals of ibe fnr-fnmed Mexican mice. They are found in a formation peculiar to the opal, topaz, agate and amethyst, and this mme shows tbem in their great est perfection. The f rmation is "Geode" in nodules, the interior of which oontains the gems. Everything bids fair for us to have a mine of those beautifnl and pre cious stones at our doors whose equal is not iu the world. Hnskins Bros, are ex perienced miners for precious stones, snd they feel highly elated over their discovery. Work of development will begin at the mine immediately and ar rangements will be mads by which the lapidary art may b applied to the stones at the mines.

Bishop Morris returned a few days ago from an extended trip in Jack son and Klamath counties. He left Portland on the 15th ult., and traveled over 1000 miles, more than 200 of which was by stagecoach and ling'y. ' Among those who k"ow him Bishop Morris has the reputation of being an exceedingly skillful angler. Opportunity offering on this trip, be indulged himself in this most enticing sport, tbe soeoe of which was Williamson river, a tributary of the lunuintu, six miles from old f ort Klam ath, eaaily accessible, and can be driven to with a coach and four. A Tarty com posed of the bishop, Rev. W. E.

Hughes, a business man of Hiilsborn, (Jr., and representative of the well kuown house of Hall & O'Dunnell, of Topf Iib, Kansas, visited Heppner early this week. Mr. Hughes, was for two terms, clerk of Wash ington county, and is still largely inter ested in that section, particularly iu the town of Hillsboro, which, lie says, has a magnificent water and light service. He speaks of Mr. Gates in the highest terms, both from a business and social stand point, and says that he has in every par ticular, fulfilled his onntract with that town. Since the introduction of water ami lights there, Hillsboro has improved wonderfully. Mr. Hughes simply corrob orates what has been said before regard ing Hillshoro's water and light facilities, and while here Impressed ye editor as beiug a good business man, as well as a jolly good fellow, He can toll a story u pretty good shape anyhow. A B'irh at Fossil. At Focsil on Mon day afternoon of hist week there was quite a disastrous conflagration. The following buildings were destroyed: Chas. Branson's livery stable, Anderson & Kelsey's saloon, Ed. Nelson's black smith shop, Mrs. Jndd'g dwelliug. The store of Kteiwer, Carpenter & Co. and several other stores ami residences bad narrow esoapes. By 4 o'clock the strength of the fire had abated, the burn ing buildings had all burned to the ground, and all further danger was past. The damage amounts to about $35W buildings about $2500, and hay, imple ments, furniture, liquors, wagons, pony, belonging to Chun. Branson, etc., nbout 8100O. Nn insurance. The mayor has already called a oitizens' meeting to take action for protection from fire. Thb Work of a Fiend. Ou last Mon. day someone set fire to tbe range up in the vicinity of tbe Stewart ranch, the large barn natronly escaping destruction. Much grass was destroyed, causing cat tle to leave for other range. It is said, and the Gnzotte gets its information from Harrison Chapin, that many atrocities were committed on cattle, such as cut ting out their tongues, and otherwise mutilating and disfiguring them. If true as reported, the perpetrator is acow ardly dastBrd who deserves even worse than tbe laws preeoribe. The wilful burning of range and torture of dumb animals indioates that, we bave in our midst one who would stoop to even grav er crimes, if he had but the courage. DisnauHATiVE Demonstrations Ern est Cupper, while under tbe influence of the "overjoyful," made some pointed re marks about Wm. Hughes, in the latter' e presence, near Pap Simons & Sou's blacksmith shop, last Saturday. Bill administered the nsual punishment, and Cupper was taken care of by the marshal. This week Cupper preferred a charge of assault against Bill, to which be plead guilty Wednesday, and was tined 85 and uo oosts. However, a witness to the trouble was placed on tbe stand, at tbe instigation of Mr. Hughes, w bo was de sirous that Justice Hallock should know something of the affair.
