WESTON LKADKB.l Willis Marsh has been elected teacher in district No. 11. He will bet-in work next Monday. The family of A. D. Bine have again removed to Weston, Mies Bine being student at the Normal. The party of gold-seekers who left Weston recently with the Blair machine aro now encamped on Snake river, six teen miles above Lewie ton. When beard from they were preparing to start the gold-saver in operation the next day. The Allen Baker macnine is aiso uemg op erated in that locality. There will be a Bryan pole-raising at Milton on Saturday. September ma There will be public speaking, and a good, old-fashioned, political love feast. A cordial invitation to attend, is extend ed to the friends of free silver, and those of its enemies who may desire to be con verted. Milton woo Id be pleated to see the Bryan Club of Weston particularly well represented. H. MoArthur was over from Athena, Monday, suffusing his geniality among friends. Mr. McArtbur lately made a sale of 10,000 bushels of wheat, receiving 36 cents for part of it, and 33 cents for the remainder. The wheat would not rank as No. 1, and, this was a fairly good price under present conditions. He has 30,000 bushels left, and of course hopes that the market outlook will brighten somewhat. ' Henry Pinkerton, one of our leading farmers, has now became a permanent resident of Weston. Mr. Pinkerton's two sons attend the Normal, and the distance to town from Jiis farm, over three mllrs, has been somewhat inconvenient for them. Mr. Pinkerton has therefore purchased a residence in town, the Geo. Stages property on upper Water street, and Weston is the gainer by a good citi zen. A. D. Blue, who has been receiving wheat at Mission station for the elevator comDsnv. was in the citv vesterday. Mr. Blue states that wheat so far received is of fair quality. Much of it is No. 1. und nil will average a eood No. 2 irra'le. U. W, Eigby brought in wheat that tested 0U. and samples were sent to Portland for exhibition. Henry Pierce has two weeks vet of harvesting. His total crop will be about 10,000 sacks of good wheat. Ho stored at Mission 1140 sack of a new variety of wheat, especially adapted for sprinp planting. It Ms known as Salt Lako Olub, and averaged 27 bushels to the acre, a big yield for sprinp sown grain. It will bi sold for seed to those who may wish to try it. There is an im- (o y Needraore Farm (which is in Umatil h kounty. Beptimber 17 I To the Edi tur.1 Sum peeple hev habits, while sum people don't hev eny habile neither hev they boss cents or money.

The great bulk of East End wheat is nnder cover, for the farmers have been straining every nerve to that end for the past week. The town cow still meanders along the sidewalks unmolested by the edicts of the town council. It's wonderful the number of admirers the bovine tribe has among our worthy citizens. Claude Bteen sold 16.000 bushels of wheat to William Jones, of Walla Walla, last week for 40 cents per bushel. The wheat was of good quality but the figure naid is considered a little above the market by local dealers. . The A. B. B. gold saving machine manufacturing plant will hereafter be located at Milton. Milton people should lend it all the encouragement possible. The machine has proven itself a success and will be the cause of bringing thous anda of dollars to this country. W. S. Brown returned home from a three week's trip to Wallowa valley yes terday. He says the report of probable danger of an Indian outbreak over there was utterly without a particle of founda tion. There are a large number of In dians in the valley, as there always are at this time of year, but they have made no demonstrations that would lead the whites to believe they are anything but peaceable. The champion peach discovered this year was presented to the Eagle the first of the week by Mr. N. A. Davis, of the bank of Milton, and was grown on one of his trees on the grounds of his Mill street residence. It is of the half-Indian vari ety, a fraction less than 12 inches in cir cumference and weighs 14 ounces, avoir dupois. Two little girls, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Coffee, whose place of abode is below Freewater, concluded to see the world .one day last week, and accord ingly left the parental roof without the knowledge of their father and mother. After a Ions walk through the hot Bun they finally brought up in Walla Walla and sought work, in the new women siyie at an employment office, In answer to the auerv Dronounded as to where they were from, thev replied tnai ineir nome was in the Willamette valley. Suspect ing, however, that they resided some where in the immediate neighborhood the employment agent notified the police who came and took tne litue wanderers in eharee. To the officer they confessed their name and place of residence and that kind hearted gentleman sent them home in the evening by a fruit wagon. The tiirls were hlahly pleased to be again at home away from so many strange faces and it will probably be many days ere they will again attempt a similar ex perience. TOUCHET GOLD. Great Excitement Over a Discovery the Walla Walla River. on Weston was vicited last Wednopday by D W. McDannald, the popular "Sage of Mud Greek." Dave related to the Wes' ton Leader, some particulars in the re cent cold discovery on the Walla Walla rivwr at The Slide, three miles from Tonchet, which is just now creating great flioitement. Mr. McDannald. the Kiuen ours and several other parties have lo ml hi! claims. The history of the "find" is that about f hlrtv veara atfo an old California pros poctor named William Merrill discovered what he thought to bo a good goia Dear tie nuseboy cum along an bps: "Yer orter no better 'n try to sell thet feller a home paper. He carries ther wrong kind uv a stick, an buysforein pa pers." An lo an bohole, my caber tells me thet the feller carried a cain with a gole head on't. That's the way the boy got unto ther golebug, an this an other things w'ich my naber scene up at Spokan, an w'ich he's bin karfully koneiderln' since his return, leads him to ther conclushnn that ther feller wuz a gole bug, an furth ermore, that he wus the only 1 in town. My friend holes to ther opinion that the feller's lot is a bard one, ter be kompsll ed as he wus to remain in a nest o', mol ten silveritea. It's different with' me, howsuraever. I presume that ther fnllor konsoles hhsself with the lefleckshun, "I'm but a straoger here, Heaven is my home!" Ben wus down ti the organizasbun uv tho Bryan club in your town, Saturday nite, an herd sum good talk on the part of Col. Roid an another feller frum Pend leton. I hed ther rumortiz an cudent cum down, but my name's on the liet, w'ich in my estermashun, counts jist az much az eny tother 1 uv the 200 on the said liet. But ter be epgsactly honest, I don't no whether I'd a' bin down thar eny way if I hadn't the ruiuortii.fur Geo.

Failing, ne gaye it np, and in the course of yrars the old prospector's story nearly passed out of recollection, being preserved only in the minds of a few early settlers as a mujty local traHition. - It was not until the soring of the pres ent year that the legend was revived, and given a color of truth. By accident the Young boys, John and Harry and William Ooston, have discovered flour gold in tbe region mentioned, and a com pany has been formed to prospect the premises. They are putting in a ditch a mile and a half long to carry the water to tbe claims, and an Allen gold saving machine will be operated, in order to thoroughly test the auriferous qualities of the soil. There is a great men oi pros pectors, and ground has been located for a distance of five miles up and down the river. Miners of experience say that otwxl irwi can be made. The ditch ill be completed the latter nart nf nnrt week. When mining begins. tiaexDected that hundreds ot people will visit the scene to witness the opera tions. A GOLD NUGGET. The Little Nelson Girl, Who Wat Lost. Found a Valuable One. The father of Emma Nelson the little 4-vear old uirl that was lost on Seattle mountain near Sneanville some weeks ago was in Pendleton tbe other day and .c,.... . n 1.1 he to d tbe Jiast ureeonian oi a mm me little eirl made which may prove valu able some day. She told her father and brother one day that she knew where there was a piece of gold, and asked them to come with her to take it out. They went and saw a niece of quartz in a crevice and containing such quantities of nure irold that, although the piece was only 31 inches long. 2 inches wide and an inch thick, mere is at least worto of sold in it. The piece probably came from a pocket, ana air. neison nas neen searching for tbe vein in which the Docket is located. He would say nothing. of course, as to where the vein is being looked for. as he proposes to nna it him self if possible. Mr Nelson told about the wanderings of his little girl, as recounted in the papers at the time ; and says she really ate from some dead animal's body, Dut knows not wheatber it was a calf or a sheep. She missed the bridge at the creek and in that manner was parted from the rest of the people. No Heirs Could be Found. In the settlement of the Charles 0. Brown estate. C B. Wade, the adminis trator, was compelled to follow a legal course relating to heirs which shows tbe law and will doubtless be news to a tna- iority ot readers, says the East Oregon- tan. The estate was valued at $15,000 by appraisement and the property was good property. Mr. Brown left a will in which all the property was left to John and Sarah Geiss, with whom Mr, Brown lived for several years prior to his death. Although Mr. Brown probably had relatives liviug, yet the administrator could not and them, flu took such legal steps as required by giving proper notice by publication and then, when no heirs bv birth appeared and claimed an inter est in the properly, the eBtate was cloecd up, and f 20 was deposited with tbe coun ty court to be left there until nome heir should appear claiming tbe property. He will then receive $1 and the next heir who comes will receive the same amount. This will probably never hap pen, and the $20 will remain with the county clerk until doomsday. Free After Thousands of Years. It is reported by the meu who were en gaged in excavating for Davenport s saw mill, at the bead of the ditch, near Hood river, and they are all truthlul men, says the Glacier, that after a blast was set off a live toad was set tree that nau been im bedded in the hard basatic rock 18 inches j from the surface. The tc ad hud swellod up to several times his natural sizs, and completely tilled the cavity where he had been Imprisoned tor thousands oi years. As soon as set free by the blast, tbe toad wilted to the ordinary size and hopped awav. Dtobably to bunt up tbe compan ions ol his youth. The kind-hearted men stood and watched the toad enj y his liberty. They couldn't think of making the toad a prisoner again even for exhi bition, and brought to town only the hole in tbe rock to verity tbelr story. Churning Done in One Minute. I have tried the Lightning Uburn, you recently describitl in your paper, aud it is certainly a wonder. I can churn in less thau one minute, aud the butter is elecant. and vou got considerably more butter than when you use a common churn. I took the agency for the churn ners and every butter maker that see it buys one. I have sold three dozen and they give the best of satisfaction I know I can sell 100 in this township, as they churn so quickly, make so much more butter tban common churns and are so cheap. Some one in every township can make two or three hundred dollars sell ing these churns. By addressing J. F. Casey A Co., St. Louis, Mo., you can get circulars and full information so you can make big money right at home. I have made 80 in the past two weeks and I never sold anything before in my life.
