IN WHEELER COUNTY.
Fossil Journal,
Hi Branson, pari owner of the Mule
Gulch placer mine, in the Spanish
Uulch district (the richest mine in
Wheeler county), died at Spanish Gulch
Mondav, of dropsy.
Fossil has a new plumbing shop.
Woodson A. Scoggin, a foimer Fossil
ite, who owned and lived on the Henry
Steers place, died in Portland Wednes
day. Uncle Jimmy Nixon of Mayville, who
was very seriously injured last week by
being thrown from the seat of a gang
plow across the mold board, is very low.
Several ribs were broken and he sus
tained several internal injuries.
Nine Mitchell Odd Fellows, including
tbe Noble Grand, Ed Peterson, came 40
miles to Fossil to attend the funeral of
Gus Hawkins.
On the 13th of February J. II. Parsons
brought suit against J. E. Scott to re
cover $40.50 balance on account for
wintering stock 5 vears ago. An at
tachment was placed in Constable Mor
gan's hands and he levied on a horse,
saddle, bridle, quirt and spurs. Miss
Maggie Hartman brought suit against
Morgan for tbe horse as her property.
The suit resulted in Miss Hartman get
ting the horse. In the meantime Scott
brought suit against Morgan for his
saddle, bridle, quirt and spurs, claiming
them to be exempt from execution.
This suit is pending and the trial is set
for the 5th of April. On the 26tb Par
sons got judgment against Scott for
$27.07 at the termination of an interest
ing jury trial.
Wheeler County News.
At Antone people are busy putting in
their crops. Stock of all kinds is look
ing tine. The grass was never better
and the sheep men are highly elated
over the future prospects. The princi
pals of the Sand Gulch Mining Co. have
said they will commence active work in
the near future.
At Caleb tbe aspect here today is not
as spring-like aa it has been, the hill
topB being manteled with their
winter garb. Will Waterman, of Rock
Creek, was here yesterday and exhib
ited about seventeen ounces of nuggets
picked ud at random from the bed-rock
of the placer owned and operated by
Zeigler, Andrus and Waterman, after a
five days' run.
At Clarno peach trees are in full
bloom and mother earth is again
warpped in her green mantle of spring.
The braes along the river are covered
with green verdure, and the glens will
soon echo with the bleat of young
lambs.
Wagner notes: J. F. Spray, one of
out thrifty farmers and stockraisers, has
purchased Carsner & Hayden's mercan
tile business and intends to move it to
Sprayville tbe first of May.
Most all of the r-aoohers have finished
putting in big crops.. They are ready
now to assemble at the post office to
discuss the Boer war and the silver
question. It is dead back east, but not
buried here. Politics is resurrected
here and the primaries are alj the talk.
A resident of Wagner was heard to
remark that he was tired of opening
Kates to get to Fossil, A populous and
thriving community have no outlet to
Fossil except a private road over Gil
man, French & Go's thousands of acres
of land
G. Hayden lias his sawmill almost
ready to begin sawing lumber for the
new store at Sprayville.
Everybody has turned his stock out
on the range without feeding this win
terr, and most of them could pick beef
out of their herds.
Lone Rock notes: Otho Ward was
seen on our streets yesterday riding
"Dutch."
Jack Parker is driving the Heppner
Lone Rock stage while Ed Compton is
taking a much-needed rest.
John Madden received severe Injuries
Tuesday while trying to stop some
young horses from breaking out of the
corral.
R. Q. Robinson has sold 50 head of
2-year-old steers to John Ayers of Hepp
ner at $28 per bead.
Our school is progressing nicely under
Frank Stewart. We are almost sure to
build a new $1500 school house in Lone
Rock this summer, as nearly one half
that sum has already been subscribed.

LATEST WAR NEWS.
Boers Outnumbered.
London,. April 2 Even details of the
engagement at Karco Siding station,
south of Brandfort, fail to instill much
interest. It appears to have been a one
sided affair, although the Boers etoutly
held their ground against a force three
or four times theirs, for three hours,
when, foreseeing the danger of tbe
British cavalry enveloping their flanks,
the burghers withdrew in good order on
their main body at Brandfort, which, ac
cording to Roberts, they seem later to
have decided to relinquish with a view
doubtless of occupyiug a prepared po
sition further north. There will prob
ably be a general shifting oi camps on
account of the Britishers' new position
being made a base of a further advance
as aoou as the railroad is prepared.
Roberts today reported to the War
Office that he had received news from
Mafeking up to March 10. The general
health of the garrison and its spirits
were good. A locally made gun and the
searchlight and ammunitipn were work
ing well, the food was holding out well
and the paper currency which the Brit
ish Commander had issued was satis
factory. From Cape Town it is said that Presi
dent Steyn has gone to Pretoria, after,
according to refugees, issuing an order
that all British burghers refusing to join
the army shall be shot. Stories of the
refugees are, however, notoriously unre
liable. News from elsewhere is meagre.
The last reports from Natal indicate a
speedy clashing of the armies.
Kroonstadt, Orange Free State, Ap.il
2. General Smuts today engaged the
British at Mafet Kop, south of Brand
fort and held them at bay for six hours.
The burghers fought well. Tbe cas
ualties are unknown. The Free State
Raad will assemble at Kioonstadt on
April 2.
British Gnus Taken.
Bushman Kop, Saturday, April 1.
The British force commanded by Col
onel Broad wood, consisting of the Tenth
Hussars, Household Cavalry, two horse
batteries and a force of mounted infan
try under Colonel Pilcher, which has
been garrisoning Thabanchu, was
obliged, in consequence of tbe near ap
proach of a large force of Boers, to leave
last night.
Colonel Broadwood marched to the
Bloemfontein water works, south of the
Modder, where be encamped at 4 this
morning. At early dawn tbe camp was
shelled by the enemy from a near point.
Colonel Broadwood sent off a convoy
with the batteries, while the rest of the
force remained to act as a rear guard.
Tbe convoy arrived at a deep spruit,
where the Boers were concealed, and
the entire body walked into ambush and
was captured, together with six irune.
The loss of life was not great, since
most of the British bad walked into tbe
trap before a shot was fired.
General Bolville's division, which left
sioemiontein early this morning, arrived
here at noon and is now shelling the
Boers.
Boers Are Sangulnr.
London, April 2. General Bullet's
anxious inquiry whether British officers
will ever learn the value of scouting,
comes back with enforced emphasis to
tbe British public today, on receipt of
tidings that a convoy with guns has
walked deliberately into a Boer ambush
within about 20 miles of Bloemfontein.
Evidently Colonel Broadwood thought
it necessary to retreat in haste frotr1
Thabanchu, as he marched all through
Friday night, apparently followed by a
considerable force of tbe enemy. The
convoy and guns had to pass through a
deep spruit, which the Boers had occu
pied. Six of the 12 guns, comprising two
batteries, all the wagons and, it is
feared, many men, fell into the hands
of the Boers, whose daring, displayed
o near Bloemfontein, shows that they
are rapidly recovering heart after their
recent reverses. The hope is expressed
here that General Colyille will recover
tbe convov and guns, but this is hardly
likely in such a difficult country, and it
is probable tbe next news will be that,
after a stiff fight, General Colville has
extricated Colonel Broadwood from bis
difficult position, but failtd to retrieve
the disaster.
Great things are expected by the Boers
of the new commander-in-chief, General
Botha, who has made bis reputation
wholly during the present campaign.
Foreign officers serving with the Boers
have expressed admiration of his clever
tactics. The proof of continuing Boer
activity iu the Free State will compel
greater circumspection on tbe part of
the British, and will probably delay the
march of Lord Roberts northward.
Both Bides Shelled.
Bushman's Kp, April 2. Tbe Boers
are still occupying the warer works,
which the British shelled yesterday
afternoon, the Boers replying.
Matters Much Mixed.
London, April 3. Fuller news of tbe
disaster to the British army in tbe
neighborhood of Hans Nast Post does
not tend to improve matters from a
British point of view, but with the dis
patches so mystifying, it is impossible
to accurately portray the present situa
tion or foretell the ultimate issue of Lord
Robert's attempt to retrieve the defeat.
One of the incidents of the flu lit was
where Q Battery of the Royal Horse Ar
lillery was suddenly surrounded in the
drift and the officers and men were all
made prisoners without a shot beinit
fired. But Major Taylor and a Hergeant
Major suceeaeu in escaping in the con
fusion. Five guns were captured at the
same time. Further details tomorrow.
Beers Beat off.
While Lord Robert speaks of the loss
of seven guns, the Boers themselves sv
that they have captured only six. Of
the Ave guns that are known to have
been saved, four did not fall into the
bands of the Boers simply owing to tbe
fact that when the drivers were shot the
horses stampeded out of action, but in
stead of galloping toward theB'er lines,
they made oft In the direction of Bloem
fontein, and the arrival of the Ninth
Division compelled a detachment of
Boers which had been sent in
pursuit to beat a hasty retreat. The

PRESS COMMENT.
The Oregonlan says :
A paper at The Dalles has published.
and other McBride organs have copied,
statement that the Oregonian falsified
its report about the Wasco County Re
publican primaries. This, it is hardly
necessary to say, is untrue. The Ore
gonian prints the news leaving false
hood to organs. Its information from
The Dalles was that "the McBride in-
uence failed to materialize" in tbe pri
maries, and it printed tbe statement as
news. The organs are hvsterical about
But the Oregonian is again informed
that the statement was correct. Of
course, it is true, or it isn't. The Ore
gonian prints the news, and cares not
hat the organs may say. Further, it
edits its news, and does everything in
ts power to render its news intelligible,
accurate and full. The utterances of
the Oregonian are not controlled by the
correspondents or others whom it em
ploys. It revises, adds or curtails, as
it may find necessary to truth and accu
racy. It professes to know how to be a
newspaper, and its success during fifty
years, where all others haye failed.
may, it modestly supposes, justify this
confidence. It thinks it possible, too,
that these critics might have better suc
cess as newspapers if they would work
to gather and print the news, instead of
trying to instruct the Oregonian how to
be a newspaper.
Condon Globe: As previously and
repeatedly announced by Gen. Otis, and
sundry other people in authority, the
rebellion in the Philippines is sup
pressed and the war is over. Such be
ing the case it is hard for the common
herd in the United States to understand
why the fighting doesn't stop.
Suinpter American: The proRpectors
season has put in its early appearance
and the advance guard of all succeubful
mining camps are scattered out among
the hills. While many of the moun

white mantle, it offers but very little
terror for the eager prospector. Out in
the hills his footprints may be seen
lotting the snow, and diverging in
every direction. Up near the summit
you will find him hewing the trail and
