Heppner Gazette: Recently Father
A. Lemay, Henry Couture and Jas. Was
sou struck what appeared to be pretty
good diggings on Backout gulch, Grant
county, taking out in one rironpect hole,
far above bekrock, the sum of $8. They
took claims, but recent prospecting fail
ed to reveal anything there. It is prob
able that the ground was "salted."
If a few more of our citizens would fol
low Sheriff Wilcox's example, and dig
for water on their own places, there
wouldn't be such a howl about scarcity
of water in the public spring or tank.
He began digging on his lot Wednesday
and struck water within a foot of the
surface. A little energy and a pick will
be able to find oceans of wuter here. The
only time it can be found without dig
ging and working for it, is just after a
heavy rain.
The Sheridan Pun goes after 'em with
the proper spirit and vigor, in the fol
lowing language: "Boom your town.
Shoot the man who will cquat on top of
adrygoods box and everlastingly chin
away about the dull town and high
taxes. Invest your money here at home
and patronize your own merchants and
mechanics, as other towns do, and you
will soon witness different times. It
does not help tiie reputation or business
of a community for its citizens to sit on
the sidewalk and whittle, chew or smoke
and spit, talk politics and cuss,"
One of Robinson's circus men, speak
ing of the poor houses which greet them
in Eastern Oregon and Washington,
savsi "I can't understand it. Are the
people loaing interest in the entertain
ments? Surely it is not on account of
the money market or the crops. Why,
crops! I hear people howling about the
shortage of their crops. Bit s you, if
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois farmers could
get sui-h crops as I have seen in Eastern
Oregon and Washington this year they
would soon think of going into luxuriant
retirement. The producers here must
I have very extravagant ideas about the
fecendity of the soil."
Brigadier Gen. II. B. Compson O. N.
G. and Maj. Jas. Jackson, 2d U. S. Cev.
were in Condon last week on a tour of
Inspection of the O' N. G. Thursday
evening they inspected it M. oi tuts
place, and expressed themselves as well
pleased with the company. The attend
ance was not so large as usual, but those
present acquitted themselves well. On
Friday Col. Linus and Capt. Wilcox
drove with thein to Fossil where they
inspected E Co., and returned to Condon
same night. They returned to Arling
ton Saturday, and will soon have in
spected all the National Guard organiza
tions in the state.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
yield per acre of wheat in Eastern Ore
gon will lie less this year than formerly,
the increased acreage will moke the out
come of this harvest larger than any pre
vious one. Farming is continually in
creasing in the Inland Empire, and with
an open river to seaboard there will bo
double the number of acres sown to
grain there is now. This portion of the
state furnishes every natural facility for
the growth of cereals, and the capacity
of the soil has never been fully tested.
Until the locks are completed and the
boat railway inaugurated the develop
ment of this region will not fairly begin.
Times-Mountaineer.
Col. J. II. McLaughlin, who lives on a
ranch south of Seattle, and who calls
himself the retired champion heavy
weight wrestler of the world, is in a
badly-bruised condition from a desperate
struggle with a wild bull. The bull cor
nered him in a ten-acre lot, and he had
to fight for his life. He finally threw
the bull to the ground and held him
there until men came to his assistance
from a neighboring field. Mr. Mclaugh
lin said it was the hardest mate'.! ,? his
life, and that the bull was harder to han
dle than Whistler, Dnfur or Muldoon,
bis. former antagonists, from whom he
won the championship.
The public tank is being sunk deeper
this week, with a view to having the
same cemented. Water in this tank is
lower than it ever was before. How
ever, there is plenty of water in the dif
ferent wells in town. -Enough watercan
be procured from wells here to supply a
town of 6000 people, by simply digging
for it, and spending a few dollars.
Abundance of watercan be reached with
in ten or fifteen feet of the surface, any
where on Main street. But just so long
as most of the people prefer getting
water out of one tank, to that of spend-
ing (115 or .'O and getting a good well of
their own, just so long will they experi
ence a little inconvenience during the
few weeks of dry season.

TERRIFIC FIRE AT FOSSIL
Ealf a Dozen Buildings Licked
up by the Fiery Fiend.
Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock the
large livery stable belonging to Chas.
McKenzle at Fossil cauget fire, presum
ably from a cigar stump, and within a
few seconds the enormous structure was
a seething mass of roaring flames. Ev
erything was as dry as powder, and it
was only a second until the flames spread
to Elmer Barnard's saloon, under the
same roof, thence east across the street
to Anderson's saloon, thence to the old
Coates blacksmith shop, thence to the
Hosford building, occupied by Mrs. F.
M. Jndd.
By almost superhuman efforts the
large merchandise store of W. W. Stei
wer & Co,, just north across the street,
was saved by spreading wet blankets all
over the roof, it being protected also by
a row of large poplar trees. P. Potter
ton's large furniture establishment was
saved also by wet blankets. Had Stei
wer A Co.'s store caught fire, there is no
doubt the entire town would have fallen
a victim to the hellish fiend. The
scorched boards of that and Potterton's
building are evidence of the narrowness
of their escape. Several dwelling houses
had the paint roasted out of them also,
those of J, II. Putnam and Mr. Carpen
ter, and were saved only by the most de
termined efforts.
The livery stable was the most valua
ble building destroyed, and we are in
formed that the building was not Insur
ed. One horse, belonging to Charley
Branson, who bad the stable
rented, j
perished in the flames. He also lost a
lot of hay, harness, etc., and the kind
hearted citizens at once raised about
$ 100 for him. We have not learned if
any of the other buildings were insured
or not. , ".
The loss Is about 5,000. The burnt
district lies in the east edge of the town,
and as the wind was blowing furiously
from the west at the time, had the fire
originated anywhere in the west end of
the town, nothing but ashes would now j
be left to mark the beautiful townsite
of Fossil.
L. E. Stephenson In Custody.
L. E. Stephenson, a young man about
25 years of age, came out with Charley
Brown from Arlington lust spring and
worked a short time for him. lie
herded sheep awhile for J. A. Spaulding
and af towards worked for Doc Brown a
short time. On July 14th he bought a
bill of goods from J. 11. Downing and
promised to pay for the same when he
settled with Doc Brown. On the 27th
he gave Mr. Downing an order on Doc
Brown for the pay. Thursday of last
week Stephenson left for Arlington on
the stage. Shortly thereafter Doc came
to town, and when the order was pre
sented for payment he said he had set
tled with the fellow and did not owe
him anything. Mr. Downing at once
bad a warrant sworn out for Stephen
son's arrest, for obtaining goods under
false pretense. Sheriff Wilcox followed
and caught the stage near Olex and
brought him back.
About this time Gene Smith discovered
that Stephenson had sold a horse and
saddle belonging to him, for which he
has a bill of sale. Gene had him arrest
ed on a charge of larceny by bailee.
Both canes were heard before Squire
Clark Friday, and resulted in Stephen
son being bound over to await the ac
tiou of the grand jury, on both charges.
In the meantime he will patronize Gil
liam's new jail until court
month.

"I'm going to join the army, and will
be gone three years. Thus wrote a
young man to hie dear old mother and
sisters at home. The boy w as under
sentence to the state prison when he
wrote the letter that he supposed would
quiot all inquiry as to his wherealxuts.
He had been found guilty of forgery, and
the judge in pronouncing sentence upon
him gave him three years at hard labor.
This was several months ago, and the
young man wa? by this time well ac
quainted v.'fth the monotonous routine
of life in the Oregon state penitentiary.
Last Sunday afte rnoon a couple of young
Indies, sisters, new arrivals at Salem,
visited the prison. They arrived too
late to be admitted to the services, but
were given seats in the waiting room.
At the first sound from the choir they
were interested, but as the music of the
song filled the chapel and resounded
throughout the corridors they recognized
a familiar sound in a sweet-toned voice
that carried the air. They advanced
nearer to the chapel, impelled by they
knew not what, and glancing through
the barred doors recognized among the
singers, wearing ' the stripes, the absent

The shock was more than the nerves of
the delicate young Women could bear.
But it is only one incident of the many.
The prison is full of sad romances' and
expectations that are never realized.
