The Russians and French held the

Americans the right center and the
Japanese the right. Tbe British and
Americans advanced upon the village at
a rapid rate for 5000 yards, under a
severe shell and rifle fire. The Russions
opened, and the British-American ad

Fatal Blander.
New York, Aug. 13. A special cable
says;
A terrible mistake occurred at die tak
ing of Yank Tsun. Russian artillery
opened fire on the American troops.
Before the mistake " was discovered
many American soldiers had been killed
or wounded by the Russian shells. The
Fourteenth took part ip ' the attack on
the Chinese trenches. As the Chinese
fled the regiment entered and occupied
one of the Chinese positions. A Rus
sian battery, tome distance off did not
notice the movement. It opened fire on
the position and planted shells among
the American troops. The Russians
were quickly notified and ceased their
fire.

It begins to look as though Heppner
wool would aoon move. Frank H.
Johnsm, a buyer who is noted for Iub
energetic enterprise, reached Heppner
Saturday and paid the highest price of
the season. He bought Geo. Conser's
clip, 31,000 pounds, at 14 cents.
Mr. Johnson thinks that though the
wool business is quiet now, tbe pros
pects are good for a pood market inside
of 30 days, and that if ; be owned the
big stax of wool in the Heppner ware
houses he would lock the doors and
throw away the keys until after election.
Ed Day has sold bis clip of 87,000
pounds to Frank Lee at 13 cents.
. Geo. Fell has bought from Harry
Cummings 8000 pounds at 13 cents, and
Henry Gay's clip at 12o. . - , '
Other sales will bring' the' total that
has changed hands in Heppner in the
past ten days up to about 400,000 lbs.
The DalleB scouring mill has bought
the clip of Lemuel Burgess, of Antelope,
30,000 pounds. The price was not given
out, but it is said to have been over 14
cents. ' ' ' " - " 1 ' '""
In Boston the market continues to
show a better tone. Values are no
higher, but wools appear to have be
come established in price.

' ' WHEAT. ' '
Morrow county now 'his great stacks
of golden grain to sell, , and her aggre
gate yield is one to be proud of.. Her
mixture of farming and stock raising and
woolgrowing ought to make her one of
the most prosperous counties in all
Oregon. , i ,
About 20 farmers in the vicinity oi
Whiteaker, east of Salem, recently
formed a pool of their 1900 crop of
wheat, 8000 bushels, with the result
that tbey obtained 11 cents per bushel
mors than the local market quotations.
The valley dealers were payinu 45 cents
but the wheat pooled was sold to the
Stayton mill at 5fl cents.
Under pressure of warehouse compe
tition, sales were made at Pendleton
Saturday at 49 cents, which is equiva
lent to 61 cents in Portland.
If vou are bunting a home in town or
country, call on J. W. ltedington, at the
Heppner Gazette office. He can fit yon
out. One of his best bareaina is the Ur1.

Almost all of it is good, rich, cultivable

AT NOME.
A letter to the Oregonian 28th
ult. says:
' An army , of prospectors has
spread out over the country and
results attained have been unsatis
factory. About Nome the pros
pectors found the country staked
for many miles, the large size of
the claims (20 acres) having made
it possible for a comparatively
small number of individuals, by
power of attorney and other meth
ods, lo secure large tracts of land,
a large percentage of claims re
main unworked, while willing pros
pectors explore afar for new fields.
To add to the difficulties a drought
has prevailed and rich creeks like
Dexter and Snow Guloh cannot be
worked, and there is not water
enough on Anvil creek to furnish
labor for more than a third of the
men possible. Developments on
many creeks in the district which
were supposed to be rich have
shown them to be spotted. On
some creeks much work has been
done, and the work proving proft-
less tbe claims have been aban
doned.
Gold in large quantities has been
found where least expeoted, not
ably on the divide between Anvil
and Dexter, where in the past few
weeks Meehan and Erickson have
taken out with rockers 125,000
from a space 25 by 35 feet in ex
tent five feet in depth, having their
water hauled in barrels. ,
, Outgoing steamers are crowded
with disappointed men. That the
district is rich in spots is beyond
question, but that 1 there was gold
for everyone has been disproved.
During the past month pleasant
weather has prevailed and pros
pecting has been attended by do
greater hardships than would be
fonnd in the mountains of Oregon.
Owing to bad sanitary conditions
there is much sickness in Nome,
principally typhoid fever and pneu
monia, and deaths are frequent.
Pure water is now being piped in
from the mountains, and this will
in a measure improve the health
conditions. The care of tbe in
digent is now receiving the atten
tion of the authorities. Tbe per
centage of stranded and penniless
men is daily increasing and meas
ures must soon be taken for their
relief. But little work is to be ob
tained and thefts are frequent.
Reports indicate that the natives
all along the coast are dying of
measles and pneumonia. Small
pox has been checked, no new cases
having been reported in 12 days.
At present there are 15,000 per
sons in and about Nome, and there
will be 1000 destitute at the close
of navigation.
