ite mining region, where he visited his
brother Newt., well known in Heppner,
who has some good claims there near
to paying mines. Judge Williams found
Granite a nice town of abouc 400 people
with a good hotel and several stores.
Considerable mining and prospecting
is being done around Granite, and the
country appears to have a good future
before it.
Judge Williams made the trip by
buckboard with a good team, and found
the roads fair but steep and . rocky in
places. He went by way of Teal springs,
where many people were arriving.

To be bound baud and foot for years
by the obaios of disease is tbe worst form
of slavery. George D. Williams, of Man-
Chester. Miob., tells bow snob a slave was
made free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she oould
Dot turn over in bed alore. After using
two bottles n f Electric. Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do ber

AT NOME.
Gov. J. H. Fletcher, writing from
Nome June 17 to Hon. II. G. Guild at
Salem says: f
I wish to say to my friends who may
contemplate coming to Nome to stay
where they are for the present at least.
Many are alreadv returning. Tbe whole
ennntry is now in the control of lookers,
thugs, mine-jumpers, sharks and
thieves. People who bought claims last
winter, .find them now occupied by
trmed bandits, and they bid the owners
defiance. And so it goes. A few good
mines are not going to furnish employ
ment to 40,000 laboring men. The Salem
people here are all well, only one ex
pression is heard from every lip "Oh !
for a month of British law." There is
no law here.
On the ranch or in the mining camp
dried fruits are always needed. The
best are at Matlock & Hart's.
Fresh candies every day at the Fac

HERDER'S DEATH.
The Granite Gem of 20th says :
Word was hrought to town Saturday
morning that a dead man was found
Friday evening in the Greenhorn moun
tains, a few miles south of Olive lake
and about 22 miles southwest of Granite.
Dr. Causey and Justice Brown started
to hold an inquest on the body. It was
found that he had been dead for a week
or more, the cause being rheumatism of
tbe heart.
. The name of the deceased was George
Parmartier, aged about 55 years, and he
bad charge of a band of sheep belong
ing to R. F. Hynd of Heppner. One of
the dogs, a faithful shepherd, was
watching over the body when found and
was nearly dead from hunger and thirst.
Another of the dogs was herding the
scattered band of sheep and succeeded
so well that only 500 were lost out of a
band of 2800, while the third dog was
faithfully guarding the deserted camp.
Tbe rejnains were so badly decom
posed that it was impossible to remove
them or place them in the coffin taken
along for the purpose, so he was wrap
ped in his blankets and buried on the
spot. It is sad, very sad, to think of
such a death, far from human habita
tion and friends, alone save for dumb
animals, and then the burial with no
mourning friends or relatives' and no
requiem but the wind among the pines
and the singing of birds. .
R. F. Hynd has received word from
his brothers who went out to investi
gate, that there are only 7 head of tbe
sheep missing.
' BIG CROPS. .
C. A. Rhea, president of the First
National Bank, was up Monday from
his ranch below lone.' He says that
great activity prevails in that part of
the great wheat belt' of Morrow county,
and harvesting is being prosecuted with
vigor. Lisbe Sperry was offered 49
cents for his wheat Saturday.
Most men down that way have large
acres in wheat, and it is turning off well
both in quantity and quality. Manv
farmers this year bought headers and
threshers, and in trying to run them all
at the same time a scarcity of help re
sulted. The Willow creek country is this
eeason making a great record in wheat-
raiBing.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
The general report for tbe State says :
The last four days of the week havo
been the hottest of the season, and they
were generally attended by dedicating
north' winds, which did but little dam
age to the ripening grain, because oitbe
cool nights, which, during this time,
were but sljghtly warmer than usual.
The maximum, or day, temperatures
for the entire week ranged in western
Oregon between 73 and 06 degrees, and
the minimum, or night, temperatures
between 51 and 64 degrees. East of tbe
Cascade mountains these variations
were for day temperatures between 74
and 100 degrees, and for night tempera
tures between 48. and 70.
The harvest of fall grain Is now well
advanced. Spring wheat is maturing
rapidly; some has been cut and its
harvest will become general this week.
In the Columbia valley tbe weathei
has been very warm. Harvesting is in
progress. A great deal of the fall wheat
is cut and stacked. Spring grain is
turning and will be ready to cut by the
time fall-grain harvest is completed.
The second crop of alfalfa and clover
is being cut, and the Oregon hay crop
this year will be an extra heavy one.
