GRAND JURY REPORT.

We, your grand jury, duly au t regu
larly drawn and empanelled on the fiwt
day of the present term of court beg
leave to report as follows: We hnv
examined 07 witnesses and have turn
ed seven true bills of indictment and
seven not true bills of indictment.
We have visited the coanty poor house

Quirv. tuat tho city authorities of the
the city of Pendleton, in the administra
tion of tho city government, and in the
so called enforcement of the city ordi
nances, have inaugurated a custom oi
prohibiting unlawful gaming and bawdy

tends to act and serve as a licensu lor
the same, which custom we heartily
condemn. .
In coacluslon we desire to tender our
thanks to your honor for the many
courtesies extended to us, to our district
attorney for his unfailing attention to
the business brought before us and tho

Eastern Oieson Crops.
The warm weather was beneficial to
all growing vegetation, and the change
to cooler, with the few showers, are also
a benefit. The grain crop was never
mora promising, There are a 'ew sec
tions where the attempt to grow grain
should not be made that have only fair
prospects, but in the wheat belts tbe
prospects could not be excelled. Tbe
dews at night are heavy and a few inches
below the surface the soil is moist, so it
now appears that nothing can injure the
crop.
Fall sown wheat and barley are bead
ing; spring sowing is making a healthy
and rapid growth. Haying has com
menced ; the hay crop is reported to be
good in every eection. Corn is makings
rapid growth. Strawberries are ripen
ing in tbe plateau region. In the Col
umbia river valley, large shipments to
eastern mountain points and to Mississ
ippi river valley points continue. Ship
menta will become less, owing; to the
fall in prices. Tbe prospects for fruit
are generally excellent. There are a
few scattered localities, not really fruit
districts, where small cropa will result.
In the vicinity of Day ville, Grant county,
the fruit prospects are poor.
Cattle have good range food nd are in
prime condition. A. lare number of
cattle and sheep are being purchased
aud driven from the ranges for shipment
east.

A Terrible Cloudburst.
A special to the Tribune from TJkiah
jeeterday say: A severe rain and hail
storm occurred here today. The old
settlers say it was the hardest storm
they witnessed in many yeais.
Three inches of rain fell in two houra,
doing considerable damage to gardens.
The fall of hail did not extend over tho
entire valley, but in places tbe ground
was covered several hours after the
Btorm ceased.
At the time of the severe rain and hail
storm in Camas there was a terrible
cloudburst on the John Day river, at
Junction bar.
Tbe water came down the gulch six
feet deep, raising the river two feet in
one hour.

Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tx.,

than fcas yet been made in the Klondike.
For years he Buffered untold agony from
consumption, accompanied by hemor

King's New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds. He declares that gold
is of little value in comparison with this
marvelous cure ; would have it, even if it
coet a hundred dollars a bottle. Asth
ma, Bronchitis and all throat and lung
affections are positively cuied by Dr.
Kind's New Discovery for Consumption.
