Watermelons and muskmelons
are now plentiful m the Heppner
markets. The tone of the market
is a little silvery.
The attendance at the Lewis
and Clark fair from Jane 1 to last
Saturday night was 816,907. The
attendance shows a much better
average than at Omaha or the
California midwinter fair.
Every citizen of Heppner should
read the announcement of Br.
Higgs, the county health officer in
this issue. The health of the com.
munity is something in which
every one Bhould be interested.
It should not be necessary to in
voke the mandate of the law for
the improvement of the sanitary
condition of the city. The time of
year has arrived when there
should be a general clean up of
the collection of a year. Heppner
is favored with healthful environ.
ments. Clean up.

That Japan will iu time become
a speDdid market for pure bred
horses and cattle is what this
journal predicted some years ago.
That our predictions are coming
true is shown by the fact that
agents of the Japanese govern
ment are already in the United
States buying both horses and cat
tle. Most of this stock has been
purchased in the East, but the Pa
cific Coast, by location, will in
time get this trade. In fact, one
of our large breeding farms, Mr,
Ladd's Crystal Spring Herd of
Jerseys, made a sale to go to
Japan from this noted herd, which
is only the bpginning of what we
predict will be a good market for
our pure bred stock in the near
future. The little brown man is a
progressive fellow, and as soon as
he is through with Russia will
turn his attention to industrial
pursuits. We welcome them to
our markets, and hope our breeders
will deal with them iu a way to
gain their confidence and retain
their trade. Rural Spirit.

James C. Lonergao, buyer for
Frye, Bruhm Co., of Seattle, is
authority for the statement that a
nev era in cittle and stock indus
try has started in the Northwest.
The change lies in the fact that the
growers of the Northwest are now
no longer shipping their stock
east, but are getting prices iu
Portland and Seattle which in
duce them to eell here iustead of
the east. For some time past the
northwest has been unable t3 sap
ply the demand iu Portland and
Saattle, and Mr. Lonergan has just
returned from a eix mouth's trip
through the cattle districts of Cali
fornia, during which time he
bought 3000 head of cattle ami
45,000 head of sheep, all of which
was shipped to Seattle. Most of
the baying was done in the San
Joaquin Valley and iu the country
near Red BlnlT. Four per cent of
the San Joaquiu Valley cattle
were condemuod by government
inspectors as suileiiug from tuber
culosi, but nearly all of the ani
mals bought near Red Dlafl' were
iu fit condition. John Day News.
The grand jury at San Francisco
has Mayor Schmitz before it to

in office and neglect of official
duties.
Saa Dieo, Cal., July 21. Broken
and blackened, with her flae flying at
halt mast, her hold filed with fifteen
teet of water, the United States Bhip
Bennington, now lies beached on the
shores of San Dieuo harbor.
Thirty-nine of her crew lie dead at
the city morgue, with the fate of a
dozen more yet undetermined, while
three score are stretched upon beds of
pain in various hospitals.
This is the result of an explosion
which wrecked the trim little nava
craft and wrought eucb terrible havoc
among her crew this morning.
Tbe placid waters of San Dieao bay
have never before been the scene of
such a disaster and San Diego city has
never before been stirred by such scenes
of death and suffering aB those wit
nessed tonight.
Thirteen victims are stretched upon
improvised biers at Johnson & Con
nell's morgue, while five others were
to be seen at Woolman & Bradley's. At
the two latter places the work of the
explosion was terribly m evidence. Tbe
face of every victim was scarred and
scalded , in many cases almost beyond
recognition.
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been determined. There is much
talk among the crew, especially among
the irresponsible members, of weakened
and leaking boilers, but, until a thor
ough inspection of the wrecked boilers
can be made, no definite official state
ment is obtainab'e.
At the time of the accident the Ben
nington was lying in tbe Btream. Tbe
warship bad received orders from the
navy department at Washington to sail
this morning for Port Harford, where
she was to meet tbe monitor Wyoming,
and convoy that vessel to the Mare
everything in readiness for sailing,
when, without any warning, whatever,
the starboard forward boler exploded
with a deafening roar. It was imme
diately apparent that an awful disaster
of eonio kind had happened on board
the warship.
The ferryboat Kamona was coming
across the hay at the time of the acci
dent. Cap'ain Berte'sen of the Km-
mon.i hurried to the aid of the stricken
waiehip. The tug Santa Fe, the lansicl
McKinley, the government launch Gea
eral Derussey, and a large number of
other launches and wnter craft rushed
to the assistance of the B-.-nnington and
endeavored to lend everv pssii-tance
pussio'e.
P.y thf time the Ramoija had arrived
m.iny of t'.ie sailor s of the Bennington,
who had jumped into the bav to escape
the scalding s'eam, had been rescued,
and th re moval of the wounded, which
had already been commenced, was be
ing conduct d in perfect order.
At the time of the accident IJcnrt. ind
er Lucien Younj and Sii'geuj A. E.
Peck were on shore. On boarrf the
Bennington were presented terrible
scenes. The fo.ee of the explosion had
torn a great hoi 3 in the starboard side
of the chip and the vessel a'lendy wac
conim?ncing to 1st A sedicu of the
upper deck wa carried away from
stem to stern. Blood and wreckage
were distributed ovor the entire ship,
the after cabin and tLe vicinity of the
Bhip adjacent to the exploded boiler
ranembliiig a ciiarr.i1! house. Over it
all hung a g;eat c'oud of whi'e smoke,
which drifted cl".wly towsird the ( or j
onado shore. i
Within a comparative fhmt time a
dozen physicians wen? on the rene at
tending to the wounded. A dozen or
fifteen niri wrr- blown overboard by
the force of the explosion. Witnesses
bav they saw human holies hurhd over
one hundred feet upward. The cir was
black with eraje which enveloped the
ship. Whed it cleared away o Ay a few
men were seen o;i the deck, while a
number were floundering in the water.
