The McFerran Case.
The case of Lauran McFerran vs.
Umatilla County has not been end
ed yet, though the plaintiff won the
case appealed to the supreme court
from the circuit court on the con
struction of statues. The point re
viewed by the supreme court was as
to the amount of damages obtaina
ble from a county under the statute
governing such actions, and the up
per court decided that a justice
court has jurisdiction up to $1000,
the circuit court has jurisdiction in
a case for any amount of damages
asked. Mrs. McFerran asks $10,
000 and value of the vehicle, on ac
count of being thrown from a de
fective bridgeuearHelix.

WHEAT FREIGHTS. '
No Reduction Probable for the Crop
of 1895.
It is not probable that there will
this season be a reduction of freight
rates for wheat over , the 0. R. &N.
road from Umatilla county to Port
land, though from points between
Heppnerandthe Dalles to Portland
a reduction of' from 10 to 11 per
cent has been made. The railroad
commissioners have for several
months been trying to effect a re
duction in rates from points east.
Umatilla county is the district in
which the largest quantity of grain
is grown says the Tribune. Their
efforts sofar have been unsuccessful,
the company being reluctant to re
duce their receipts by the amount
which would thus be cut off. - Last
year the company's revenues were
diminished by $75,000 on account
of the reduction in rates from
points east of Umatilla, and the
present reduction in- rate from
points west of Umatilla will cause
a decrease of $38,000 in receipts,
The principal reason given by the
company against the reduction ask
ed for Umatilla county is the effect
it would have upon adjacent points
in Washington. If the lower rates
were made for this county the
people in Walla Walla and Colum
bia counties would at once demand
reductions. As these points are
about the same distance from Port
land as Umatilla county it would
belifficult to refuse lower rates for
them also. That is the way the
matter rests at the present, though
it is not possible to asy what will
happen before time to move the
wheat.
A Pretty Tough Fate.
Persons returning from the
Okanogan country confirm the re
port that an Indian child had been
eaten by hogs a few days ago, says
the Wilber Register. It seems that
a squaw residing just below the
Indian school, on the Okanogan
river, had left her papoose, tied to
a board in the customary manner;
eaning against a tree while she
went to the river to do some wash
ing, when she returned Bhe found
several head of hogs righting over
the remains of her child. The hots
had devoured the child, all except
its head, and it only resembled a
ball of dirt. A more horrible scene
could scarcely be imagined.
Dispute of Ownership.
Some time ago John Gagen, of
Pendleton, purchased the Black
Butte mine. - It now appears that
others claim ownership to an ex
tension of the ledge which Mr, Ga
gen supposed belonged to him. The
parties who claim ownership are
WmRudio and W. L. Burnham.
Both gentlemen are residents of
Long Creek. They claim that the
boundary stakes nave been tam
pered with and propose to bring
the matter to court.
Forest Fir.
Reports to the effect that a forest
fire of vast proportion is raging in
the Blue Mountain along Meacham
creek have reached here. A late
dispatch from Meacham says the
fire is not in the immediate vicinity
of Meacham, but nearer Gibbon.
No one has suffered serious loss, so
far as heard, and if the wind dies
out, it is hoped, the extent over
which the flames range will not be
so very large.
Shot in a Quarrel.
James Circey shot and instantly
killed a man named Brown, and
seriously wounded Joseph Meyer
thollen, Sunday at the White mine,
12 miles from Baker City. Circey
escaped to the mountains. The
shooting is the result of a dispute
over the mine. Six years ago S.
J. Fore shot and killed Henry Dell
over this same claim.

Crops.
Weather conditions have been
fayorabje to all crops in Wasco
and Sherman counties, while in
other Sections the weather remain
ing dry (though not so dry as the
previous week), could not be said
to be favorable, though it was an im
provement. Reports from Wasco and Sher
man counties continue favorable
regarding all crops; wheat, oats,
barley and potatoes are doing es
pecially well. Owing to the low
prices for last year's crop, the acre
age of the present grain crop was
materially reduced. The quality
of grain in Wasco and Sherman
counties will be A 1; and the yield
per aero will approach, near to the
average."
Harvest has commenced in earn
est throughout the Columbia val
ley. South and east of the Blue
mountains and including the
counties of Umatilla and Morrow,
the yields of all kinds of grain wil
fall short of the average, and the
quality will be inferior. This sec
tion has suffered greatly from the
drouth. In some sections of the
above-described territory the spring
sown grain will scarcely pay the
cost of harvesting it, and a field of
grain which promises anything
near an average yield is rare. There
are some good fields of barely in
0 LOT II i i
Union county. There is a good
prospect for fruit in all sections,
and the potato crop has withstood
the dry weather surprisingly well.
Fruit is making a rapid growth,
and the early varieties of apples
are ripe. Blackberries are ripe and
plentiful in the market. Hood
river peaches -are also ripe. In
Klamath and Harney counties the
fruit will be of good quality, though
not plentiful, owing to the work of
the early frosts. Haying continues,
and alfalfa is still being cut. The
drouth has materially lessened tho
yield of hay. and but for the fact
that the Beason of 1894 produced
more than was required for con
sumption, consequently leaving
much of last year's crop on hand,
farmers would be at a loss for feed 1
for their stock, which, unfortunate
ly, is the case in many sections.
