Moorehouse is hobbling around on erutches sp.ained knee, Mayor White is looking after his beep in the lower end of the county. Squire Depuy paid his ranch in the Cold Spring country a visit this week. The initiatory steps are being taken for a grand May Day ball at this place. Fanners sre busy seeding and plow ing, consequently times seem dull in tewn. Rev. W. H. Prnett aud family will remove to their farm iu the country next week. Dr. Barker, of Centerville, has been appointed Notary Public by Gov. Moody. When it comes to corraling the un tamed salmon of Vine Creek Joliuny Reynolds is the prince of piscaturialiuts. A in u toll game of base ball between the Pendleton and Westoo clubs is talk' ed ef, to eoino off one week from to-mor row. The erdinaace of baptism will be administered to several candidates next riuuday immediately after the 11 a. m. services by Pastor W. H. Pruett. Now is the time to get your trees and shrubs from Miller & Son, Milton. These iu this vicinity who have beught from them are well satisfied. See ad. The other day Cass Procbstel kick ed at a horse. The horse is all right, but Cass has been lame ever since. He says he never saw such a clumsy horse. Some people have funny notions. Over in Walla Wall they are offering rewards for "the detection and convic tlen of the de poisoner." Just look at that now. Public benefactor are never appreciated. George Starrett, seedsman, Walla Walls, has for sale New Zealand oats, w.iliintr 113 pounds per sack, two weeks earlier than common oats. Price, $3 per 100 pound. Also, Evergreen Atillet, 40 cents per pound. Mr. Jeba McLaughlin, who has iuit returned from hie ranch in Cold Spring, reports the wheat in that coun try as looking as well as it does around Weston. Oh, yes; good times are com ing. Just wait until "after harvest." At Weston on Saturday, March C8th there will lea grand horse show. All the celebrated stallions from the surrounding country will be on exhibi tien. This will give farmers an oppor tunity of comparing the nierita of the d liferent horiMS. The first of March being the time of the annual election ot officers for the Baptist Sunday echoed ef this place, the following named persons were cho sen for the ensuing year., W. II Pruett, Supt. ; J. S. Morgan, Assistant Supt.; Mrs. M. J. McArthur, Treasurer aod Miss Callie Hot brock, Secretary Last winter the snow was so uncom nionly deep and the frosts ao unusually severe that tears were entertained by sport.-mica that game would be scarce this coming season. The fears were uu founded. Prarie chickens are very nu merous on the plains, aud the wc.oJs are full ef nheasants and urouse. When it It is so uow, what will it be when tlu shooting season arrives? Mr. W. T. Wright,' of Milton was in the city this week. From him we lean that the severe frost of lust win ter killed the tops of the peuch trees and that that luscious fruit will be very scarce the coming seuHon. lie iuformt us also that the tops of the blackberry aud raspberry bushes that were not pro tected by the enow were so badly frost bitten that these homes will probably not be so plsutiiul as in former years. Strawberries and grapes give promise of a prolific yield. The third number of the Formal Monthly is before us. As in the pre' cediii issues, manv of the selected ar. tides are good. Its anonymous' editor ials however are as unfortunate as bo fore. The sneering remark about the frigid rules of Umatilla count! journal ism," made in contusion with Clark's Grammar, ef which it takes ne pains to conal iU lofty contempt, is anotlftr piece of encalled for impertinenee. The average ability of Umatilla county edi torials has not been ihcreased by the appearance et tbe "Monthly." iu gt,. tesapi m -orawusn iroiu tue position it took regarding the "average teacher sad director, and its eflvrt to shift the responsibility of such an unworthy opmiea are cowardly and nucsudid. In common with ethers interested in the success of the Normal school we are pleased to learn that the Monthly ia not connected therewith, as even the "dis interested' friendship of such a super ior aod ingenuous chani) ion must be productive of more harm tLaa benefit. Look at Mr. lioyse's notice of horaes' for sale. The county clerk's books show that the amount of scrip issued from June, 1884, to be 3,375.52. To-morrow the meet will beat J. R- King's on Wild Horse at 8 a. m. (sharp). Huntsmen, be on hand. All those interested in the organiza tion ef a fire company at this place are requested to meet at the City Hall next Monday evening to consider the consti tution and bylaws that will then be presented. The City Marshal has quite a force . T . A . - Th. 4j work upon luti ircci. iiicup- oroach to the bridge on WaUr street has received a needed improvement, as has also the street in that vicinity. This part has jnst recently been admitted withiu the corporate limits. Messrs. Mills & Witt, of Walla Walla were receutly attached and the local papers refer to it as a small, spiteful action. Frem. the Leader's knowledge of the firm the action would have to ba very small indeed if it was smaller than their style of doiug bur.l ness. --Pctcrsou's Magazine for April comes to us with a lovely sleel-cnrav-iii of "Adeliue," one of Teunysau's heroine!); a beautiful, double-size, steel, colored fashion-plate; and half a hund red other illustrations for stories, work table fashions, etc., etc. A norek-t by a new author, "A Tale of Louisiana Pine-Lands," opens with great vigor, is full of local color, and promises to quite rival Cable, iu its pictures ot creola life. Specimens are sent gratis, if written for, to those wishing to get up club-. Address Chas. J. Peterson, 303 Chest nut St., Philadelphia. Pa. Good health is of more Importance than financial prosperity. Health is the highway to happiness. To secure and retain it is of the utmost impor tance. With the advent of the warm weather disease may come if the proper precautious are uot observed. Clean li ness ranks first. The winter accum mulatiou of filth in the alleys and back yards should be promptly removed Stable yards should be thoroughly cleaned and all manure heaps removed from every town before the warm weather ariives. Don't wait for the city marshal to remind you. Do it uow. An interesting point for travelers has just been decided by the Supreme Oourt ot t aliloruia. llie case was that of Kufus V. Lundy, of Cowler City, Kan., vs. the C. P. R. R., repre senting the U. P. R. R. Ha wrote tor and purchased a ticket at Omaha for Sa 1 Francisco. It was stamped "good fer nine days" from the date of issue. The ticket was two days in the mail on the way, and, although he used the ticket us soon as received, the limitation expired while he was en route. Th conductor expelled him from the train at Kelton, en tbe ground that th ticket hud expired. The court below decided that the plaintiff must not only commence, but complete bis journey within the nine days from the date of the ticket. The supreme court reversed this aud decided that, if the bearer pre sented himself on the traiu of the U. P to take passage at any time within the nine day from tho date ef issue, was all that was required. Just at this time when so many people are parading the prominent par they played in electing Cleveland an are boasting ot bow long ago tlicy no ticed his pecular fitness for the position he now occupies, tbe following may not seem inappropriate: One of Mr. Liu coin's annoyances was the claims ad vanced tor having suggested his nomina tiou as President. One of these claim ants, who was the editor of a weakly pa per published in a little village in Mis souri, called at tue vv line House aim was admitted to Mr. Lincoln's presence. lie at once commenced stating to Mr. Liscoln that lie was the man who first suggested his name for the presidency. aud pulling from his pocket au old, worn and defaced copy of his paper, exhibited to the president an item on the subject. Do you really think," said Mr. Lin coln, "that announcement was the occa sion of mv nominatisn?" "Certainly," said tbe editor, "the suggestion was so opportune that it was at ouce taken up bv other papers, and the result was your nomination and election." "Ah! well," said Mr. Lincoln, with a sigh, and assuming a rather gloomy counte nance, "I am glad to see jou and to know thie, but you will have to excus-e me. I am just goin to the War De partinent to fee Mr. Stanton." "Well,' said the editor, "I will walk over with you." The president, with that apt "ood nature so characteristic of him roLsncAU First Assistant Postmaster General Crosiiy has resigned, and his resigna tion has been accepted. Governor Moody has appointed Loyal B. Stearns as the additional circuit judge provided for in tbe fourth judi cial district. General E. C. Waltham has been ap pointed by Governor Lowrey United States senator to succeed Lamar, Wal tham was a former law partner of Lamar. The nomination of Charles S. Fair child ef New Yerk as assistant secre tary of the treasury, aud John C. Black of Illinois as commissioner of pensions have been made. Governor Moody has issued commis sions to J. B. Putnam as state librar ian; J. A. Brown, Allen Noyes and Lewis Wilson, pilot commissioner?; D. 1). Reese, register of the state land of fice at La Graudc. Mr. Sperry, private secretary of the treasury, resigned, to make room for Valeatino P. Snyder of New York, who will fill that post for Manning. Bryan, who has been Senator Bayard's private secretary iu the senate for many years, will occupy the same post at the state department. Postmaster General Vilas, is quoted as Having saui-: "ine programme oi the whole cabinet is to select officials for their worth and value to the govern ment. The policy of the administra tion is to bear out the civil service rules to the full extent iu the management of the various departments. I shall en force the rules here. . Secretary McCulloch is quoted s say ing that there are tube a few chauges in the treasury department ami these will be iu important positions. ' At the state department it is reported that Sec retary Bavard has said there will he very few changes. It is understood that it is the inten tion of tbe President to reduce the cler ical force of the While House and to do away with the system of keeping au elaborate record of all business brought there. In accordance with this pro posed curtailment of the force four em ployes of the executive mansion were noli Lied Wednesday that after the 15th iust. their services would not be re quired. These are Henry C. Morton of Ohio, J. S. Bolway of Ohio aud W. R. Duke of West Virginia, clerks at S1S00, S1G0O and 1400 per annum respective ly, aud O. T. Judd, telegraph operator, who receives $1400 per annum. It is plain that Cleveland intends that bis cabinet shall relieve him of as much of the reutine and drudgery ot omce as possible. To this end bis tir.it rule that applications f cr omce shall come through the department to which the office be longs is aimed. The Presideut wiilde cide disputed question affecting patron age himself, but he will be guided in or (Hilary esses by the advico of members of his cabinet. Friends of civil service reform have no reason to be displeased with the expressions of the President during his first few days' in the White House. He has repeatedly called the at tention of anxious claimants to the ex istence of the tenure of office act, aud the binding force of the civil service la. The democratic senators have com pleted their arrangement of committees. Senators Vest, Coke aud Harris are to succeed Garland, Bayard aud Lamar on the judiciary committee; Senator Vance will go on the finance committee, iu place cf Bayard; Senator Hansom will succeed Bayard as chairman of the com mittee on private laud claims, aud Sen ator G-iroian will take Hansom's old place as chairman of the committee on the Potomac river front; Senator Kenua will go on the commerce committee, A resolution offered Wednesday by Hoar, that Blair be sworn in as Sena tor to fill the vacancy, was taken up, and a very long argument ensued. The Legislature which is to elect a Senator from New Hampshire will net meet until next June, and the debate was upou the point whether in this emer gency the governor had a right to ap point Blair to fill the vacaucy, ana whether a vacancy had really occurred which the executive could provide for. Nothing of particular interest was de veloped in tbe debate, except a poiut made by Ingalls that the question at issue had a sigaificant bearing upou the senatorial vacancies iu Iiiiuois aud Ore gon. After further debate the resolution was agreed to; ya 30, nays 20. Distressing Accident, Oa the afternoon of March 8th, while a young man named W illiaui Conkling was engaged in repairing a pump .cylin der iu a well in Vinson, the sides caved in on him. When the accident happen ed he was almost half way down the welL His assistants at onee gave the alarm, and a number of men came to his help. To all appearances the well seemed about two-thirds filled with heavy rocks and boulders. On lower ing a man down he found that Conkling was still alive, as he could be plainly heard calling fur help. Then came the difficult task of removing the rock. The work was greatly enhanced by the fear that a jar might displace the keystene and precipitate the mass ef stone en the captive. After an hour's work a small hole on each side was made and ropes were passed through the holes to Conkling, also some pieces of plank. He tied both ropes to the plauk, and it was then diawu firmly up against the rocks and served to hold them in place. Other pieces of timber were passed down, which he placed above his head and body, se as to protect himself from fall ing rocks. As every piece ef earth or rock would fall below it would assist in raising the level of the water, and when after four hours' hard work, the prison er was released, the cold, chilling water had reached his throat. When the rocks caved in it caught one of his legs at the ankle, breaking iu two places, and, securely heldim; his foot in place. Conkling was very courageous and kept up to the last, although nearly benumb ed by the cold water. As soon a3 an aperture was made, a bottle of liquor was passed down to him which material ly assisted in keeping him alive. As soon as liberated he was treated to a bath of camphor and alcohol, and by vigorous rubbing circulation and warmth was imparted to him. Conk ling was ouce before caught nearly in a like manner, yet two such close calls do not seem to frighten him, as he expresses his determination to dig niore wells. East Orcgoniaix.

There seems to be little doubt about the finding of a vein of bitumiuous coal on the ranch of Mr.-Livingstone, about twelve miles up Mill creek. The vein is at the foot of the hill on the southerly side of the creek, its outiTojij.iuss about a foot aud a half wide, and it haa been traced about two hundred feet. A shaft ten feet in length has been sunk and the vein has been found to be three feet wide, and the coal better. The croppiogs are hard aod shsie-like and do not burn, while specimens taken from the end of the shaft burn freely, giving eut a great deal of smoke, "burn ing, as one remaraea, n.e a piece oi pitch." Several parties who have vis ited the mine, or examined and tested the samples brought to town, are satis fied that a goed article of bituminous coal has been found. Should the rein be only as good as it now appears, it will prove valuable. If it increases in width and quality, as those who are working it thiuk it will, the fuel ouea- tieu is settled, and all that is lacking i natarai resources, to make Walla vaiia a great manufacturing center, lias been f ouud, Union.

Powell's xalled "defense" in your last isnue, I have but a few words to say, I regard his personal attacks through the papers as of no particular damage to me, Then it is known to the community that he is the author, and that he is forced to use your paper to give publicity to his lies, instead of the East Oregon ian, who would not publish his communication because the editor knew at least part of it to be a lie. Suffice it to say, I shall treat with silent contempt anything he may write or say about me in the future, as I regard a personal controversy through the public prints whh such a man as he as being beneath the dignity of a gentleman.
