A Rattlesnake Sample. E. 0. The stuffed remains of a gigantic rattlesnake were sent down Tuesday by stage from Camas prairie by J. B. Despain to S. P. Gould. The reptile is minus its head, and twelve inches of the body are altogether said to be ab sent, but four feet of it remain, and when in life it must have been a formidable looking creature. The snake is remarkable only for its length, a curious fact being that its tail is ornamented by only ten rattles. - . jUnfortunate Accident at Mission.

Farmers have another mhfor ture to confront in the scarcity of grain bags. There does not appear to be enough on the $oast to sup ply requirements, and bags have advanced to nine cents, being hard i to get at this figure.

The Weston Leader comes out in a new head this week. Harry Brown has discarded the Palmer & Rey patent and has engaged Hull of trie Milton Eagle, to run off the outside in "plates." Business men at Hunington. Baker City, La Grande and Pendle ton have been taken in by a slick tongued individual with a slick hat who claims to be representing the "National Benefit Trust Associ ation," of Denver, Colorado. At the Demorest medal contest, recently held in Weston, the hon ors were carried off by Master Charles Bowmer, against eighteen other contestants, he ronatxri rrt a valuable silver medal as a reward for being the champion elocution ist. A Pendleton gambler named Winston, has made the discovery of a rich gold mine twenty miles southeast of Baker City. He brought to Pendleton a specimen of quartz weighing three pounds, bristling with the yellow metal, which is valued at $550. . A valuable trottng-bred colt be longing to a Pendleton man st ray ed away and a reward was offered for it. About a week after a man found it fast in a railroad cattle guard.

When about three milesfrom Heppner two mapked men held them up and relieved them of $485 and a gold watch. Weston has one attraction, says the Leader, in which no other town in the county can rival her, and that is the number and ferocity of her canine combats. The hghts always draw vast and appreci ative audiences from all classess of citizenB, from the mayor of the city down to the editor of the Leader. The Milton Eagle makes an ap ology for the appearance of. the paper the week previous. Hull says the press got off "its balance," but we are of the opinion that it was caused by the humor inflated in the atmosphere over there by the editor. It's Btale enough to wilt the rollers and 'break every cog m the machine, i Farmers in Weston neighborhood report the yield of wheat up to ex pectations, Borne fields threshing out thirty-five bushels per acre of good wheat, while others that were injured by the h"at in July wilt run lower, both in yield and quality.

The young men report a fine time, plenty of good hunting, a jovial crowd and good dances. When they went up some two hundred persons were there, but they have thinned to about eighty. We are in receipt of a copy of the Greenville (Tenn) Democrat, in which appears an interesting descriptive letter of Oregon by Rev. E. A. Leonard, of this city. Mr. Leonard also mentions several who live in this vicinity and Wes ton who formerly resided in and near Greenville, among whom are the Maloney's, J. W. Smith, of Athena, and the Worthington'a of Weston.

Mrs. Wilson wanted Pam burn to pay claiming he Wilson the didn't nee it per for the plowing, had no right to pay money, but' the jury that way and found a verdict in favoi of the defendant. It is said Mrs. Wilson will appeal the case. Col. Parsons, of Pendle ton appeared for the plaintiff and Judge DePcatt for the defense. One of Weston's popular young men was spending a few days at Bingham springs and had in com pany with a friend indulged in a bath. On retiring from the water and after finishing his toilet he be' came impatient at the delay of his companion, who was similarly occupied, and knocking at the dor of what he supposed was bis friends dressing r.oom, testily in quired: "When are you going to get those trowsers on?' There was a faint giggle and a silvery . voice replied: "W hen 1 get mar j ned, I suppose " Our friend hid to be carried out on a stretcher, ! He had mistaken the door. Dr. Moffitt Arrested. Dr. Moffitt. of this city, was ar rested Monday by Constable Mo Broom, of Weston precinct, on complaint of one T. Surgue, a stranger who has been in Athena for several days past, for practicing medicine without a stalecertiticate. The doctor was interviewed by a Press reporter and said he thought it was a case of spite work on the part of a certain individual in this city, who, the doctor stated had been trying to injure him and his business for some time past. The doctor is under the impres sion that it will cause him no trou ble as he has been practicing un der Dr. F. S. Sharp, who is his pre ceptor, under whose instructions he has been ever since he commen ced to practice in this city, last spring. Dr. Moffitt is a gentleman in every sense of the word profession ally, socially and otherwise and has a host of friends in Athena who are classed among the representa tive men of the city, as was demon strated Monday evening when eighteen of them chartered George Froome's bus and went over to Weston with the doctor to go on his bonds. Fourteen more wanted to go, but were unable to get suit able transportation. Arriving at Weston the bonds were fixed at $300.and all wanted to be the favor ed ones to place their names for the doctor, but Justice Powers said two were sufficient and Cashier Lively and J. W. Smith signed the bonds. The Press hopes to see the doctor come out all right, and triumph over those who are trying to pull him down. Suicide atMeacham. . A young man named Carter em ployed in a Meacham saw mill, committed suicide P riday night by hanging. It appears that he and three other men were sleeping compan ions in a house hear the mill. Fri day nignt between 10 and 11 o'clock, he arose, remarked that he was not feeling well, and went out Bide. The others, were soon again wrapped in slumber. ? At dawn the next morning one of the men looked out and saw Carter, as he supposed, standing in the mill. The form remained per fectly motionlesn, however, and an investigation disclosed the fact that the despondent woodman . had swung himself into eternity at the end of a quarter-inch rope. He tied the rope to a beam above, placed an ordinary noose around his neck, and then stepped off a timber. Ilia body hung with his toes nearly touching the ground. and it was evident that Carter ner- vily allowed himself to be choked to death, since he could have taken hold of the rope above his head and prevented strnngulation. The suicide entered into no lengthy story to tell the startled world the sad reasons for his rush act. He left behind merely a plain, pquare envelope, on which was written his ntime, I. L. P. Carter, and the following terse and laconic explanation: "I am tired of living. Editor Sued for Libel. F. J. Parker, editor and pro prietor of the Walla Walla States mantf has been sued for libel by E. L. Bumpus well known in this city and W. B. Bryan, agents of the Western Loan Company of Salt Lake, Utah, who also pray for $50u0 damages each. 'The euit is the outcome of an article pub lished in the Statesman warning Citizens and farmers against the two men, who were denounced as fakirs. Bumpus and Bryan claim tb represent a company with a large capital stock, and they have been there several weeks loaning rioney to farmers. HELIX ITEMS. Aug. 23, 1893. News in Helix is as scarce as dust is plentiful. Our road super visor failed to get around to the roads in Helix till after the rams had been almost forgotten and of course it is a little dusty, but this i not our worst trouble as was re ported some time ago, the First National Bank has failed, there not being assets enough to pay. the cashier to make a statement Austin's bund of Halix has sus pended, but not on account of the financial stringency, but because so many of "the boys" are harvest ing, they will resume Sept; 17th.

Bint.- COPPER J Didn't Want Him Arrested. Last week nn individual hailing from the Walla Wnllu valley, and bearing the name of R. F. Smith, came into town and proceeded to get gloriousJy loaded at once. It didn't take long for Athena's "bug juice" to fix him a plenty. He kept on his spree for a couple of days, and his wife stopped at the Athena House, and endeavored to Induce her leige lord to brace up and go to Pendleton, where she had procured work for both in a harvest field. He drank as long as his . money held out and Friday evening went up to the Athena House and de manded money from his wife which she refused to give him, trying to perswade him to go to Pendleton with her. , He became enraged at her and. immediately proceeded to do her up, iu real Sullivan style. He knocked her down and brutally beat her, and her cries brought out all the women and children in the neighborhood. Finally some one went for Marshal Stam per who was at home eating sup per and on his arrival he promptly started with Mr. Smith for the cooler. Smith's wife interfered and clung to him begging and cry ing for the marshal to release her husband who promised to go to the train and leave with her. Stamper came to the" conclusion that it was the best way to get rid of them so he escortfd them to the depot. In the melee the mur-' shall 4ost his watch and has not found it yet. A New Trick. E. O. Train men on last night's west-bound passenger report a new kind of dodge resorted to by the ever-watchful hobo to steal a ride. About three miles east of North Powder the engineer sighted a man on the track. The locomotive shrieked a warning, but the man gave no heed nnd the train had to be stopped to prevent his anatomy from being strewn along the track. This was the result that the way farer, whose immaculate gall amaz ed even the train men, anticipated. When the train started again he slyly boarded the blind baggage. But his movements had been watched, nnd he was dislodged and driven into the countrv. y--- A Fatal Sham Battle. During the progress of the sham battle on Saturday, Lieut. C. L. jNeison, ot tO. A, v. JN. u., was lacerated by the wadding of a cart ridge ind died in Good Samara tan Hospital on Sunday. ; During the progress of the bat tel, the engineer corps with a Gat ling gun, had taken up a position in a clump of timber' and were supposed to bo pouring hot shot into the line of the enemy. Then Company A was ordered to take the gun and had twice charged the position, . but had been repelled. As they advanced for the final grand charge Lieutenant Nelson was urging on the platoon he was commanding. He reached the gun in advance of his command, and, springing' upon the stock of the caisson, crossed swords with the lieutenant in command. Several of the gunners grappled with him, but suddenly he staggered back ward with the remark: "For God's sake,- boys don't pull me around so I'm shot to peices al ready," He then fell upon his back and was carried from the field. IT HAS ITS EFFECT. The Campbell Pilotage Law -Liverpool Ship Owners' Circular. The Campbell pilotage bill, pas sed by the last Legislature, against the earnest protest of well informed persons having the commercial in terests of Oregon at heart, has be gun to have its effect. Of this, one feature is the creation of prejudice in England against the port, as the following circular, issued by the Liverpool Ship Owner's Asso ciation, under date of July 19, shows; 'We are directed by the com mittee to call the attention of the members of the association to the largest increase which has taken place this year in the charges for towage and pilotage at Portland, Or. "Until the recent changes the charges fir towage at that port in cluded pilotage also, nnd the maxi mum charge was fixed at such a figure that in the case of large ves sels the amount incurred for both towage and pilotage was moder ate. The railway company, who undertake the towage, have, how ever, given the following notice: " 'On nnd after March 23, 1803. the company will charge 50 cent" per registered ton for . towing ves-t-elu from the Pacific ocean ot As- TrVETED G OTTOM rANTs I toria. to Portland and return to the sea, and 35 cents per registered ton for towing vessels one or both ways between the Pacific 'ocean and Astoria, subject to an addition al charge of 10 cents per registered ton vessel with cargo towed from the sea to Astoria or Portland; and a charge of $20 for tugs hawser each way between Astoria and the sea in all cases where the same is used.' , "The company has further given notice that these rates are for tow age only, and that all pilotage fees must be paid direct to the pilots. "With regard to pilotage we are informed that the pilots now re quire payment of the tonnage fees to which they are entitled by sta tute, with the result that the charge on the ship is greatly in creased... .i,j;-.,';-p: "The results of thse changes is to impose on a ship a, charge two or three times as great as formerly, e. g. a large ship now about to leave the port has had to pay $1700, whereas before the recent changes she would have been charged $600 only, which was the maximnn charge on ships of be tween 1000 and 2100 tons regis ter. , "This increase in expenses should . not be overlooked by shipowners when treating for freights from Portland." The ship referred to is said to be the Crofton Hall. No one can now contend, it would appear, that the effect of the new law will be other wise than to increase the expense of the port. The idea of those wh in good faith contended for the bill, and succeeded in so mystifying thr country members that they passeu the measure blindly, seems to have been that the Union Pacific could in this way be farced to pay forn better service, and is thoroughly re futed by this paragraph printed in italics in the company's towng" tariff sheet. "Rates named above are for tow age only, and do not include eith er bar or river pilotage; and all pilotage fees, if any, must be paid direct to the pilots. , The conipnn) does not assume any responsibility , for the acts or omissions of any ba or river pilots; and any unneces sary detention of towboats cause'! by any fault of the ship or pile: thereof will be charged for at th rate of $8 per. hour in. addition t.. the above rates." . , , As has been explained before, the Union Paoific has charged tho pilots tor using us tugs, so that l will safely reimburse itself for whai it is out by law. There is suppos ed to bo enough increase also t. offset the lessened freight tariff ii. Washington under the Anderson rate law. The Palouse country farmers, therefore, will get about as much for their wheat under the Tacoma-Portland competition as if the pilotage law hero had been un changed. The Willamette Valley nnd Eastern Oregon farmers wiil have to pay the increased expenses of the port in lower prices for their wheat than they, would otherwise have obtained. For relief they must look to the next Legislature. f Oregonian Aug. 4. The farmers of Eastern Wash ington as well as those of tho Wil- , lamette Valley nnd Eastern Oregon should take heed of the conditions concerning terminal charges at the markets of the Northwest, as prices for their products are vitally affec ted by the conditions ruling in re gard to the expense of the towing vessels from sea to sea. As stated in the foregoing "'the farmers will have to pay the increased expense of the port, in lowering prices for their wheat." Therefore, it is well for the producers of all sections wherever possible, to see that their products are placed in such posi tion with regard to tho transporta tion lines, so that they can be ship ped to any port where charges for towage and pilotage of vepselu are the cheapest, made so by more fav orable conditions for access to deep water, as in the case of Plight S-mnd, where chnrzea for towago services are considerably under other Northwest ever remain so. ports, and will aug-zo-lt The Craver Header the finest in the world for sale by the C.
