to Condon. Do not let this project fall
through, by all means.
Miss Stella and Donna Flott of llock
crook were in town Monday. Miss
Donna filed on a homestead on Hay
creek, near the Dodson ranch. This

commendable, and ought to be imitated
by many other young ladies.
1 , J Samuel Thompson, who had been
' Ai Kti Vincent'a hosnital. Portland, for
J the last five weeks for treatment for a
fr fore on his face, returned homo Sunday.
Owing to the road being washed out, he
experienced , considerable hardship in
getting through, Wing obliged to walk a
good deal of (he distance from The Dalles.
to Arlington. The treatment in the
'hospital benefitted him very much, lie
informs us" that tho sore on his face or
iginated from a sledge-hammer blow. he
received many years ago.
J. B. Ilosford, formerly of this county,
the well known attorney and newspaper
man, has sold the Moro Observer to D.
O. Ireland, a veteran Journalist, Mr.

tice cauned him to dispose of the paper,
as he has not the time to devote his at
tention to both.
' Jack Frost blew his' breath over this
entire section Saturday night, and al
most ruined all garden vegetables, pota
toes, etc. We have; not learned of any
damage being done 'to fruit, but the
chances are that it was injured some
also. It was tho only damaging frost of
the season so far.
Several freight teams from this aection
left the first of the 'week for The Dalles
for freight for our merchants, Groceries
havo become pretty scarce, especially
sugar, and as no freight has been
brought through to Arlington for several
weeks, tho only way out ot the difficulty
was to go to The Dalles.
One day last week while Mrs, W. S.
Myers and her mother, Mrs. Philipps
were riding in a carriage the horses he-
came unmanageable and rati the wagon
onto a bank. Fearing an upset, both

ore In excellent trim for the contest, and

Thos. Young is having tho low places
in tho street fronting his lot on corner of
Spring utreet and Church avenue filled

improvement of the street. G. W.
Kinehart is aluo filling in his portion of
the street, as per order of the city conn-
ii.
The northwest has a delightful cli
mate, fruitful soil, but the Columbia be
comes angry at times, and docs consid
erable mlwhief. As the present stage
of water has never been reached during
the memory of any living white man in
this region, it is not unreasonable to be
leive that it never will again during the
life time of any of the present residents.
Times-Mountaineer. .
C, S. Clark, our blacksmith, informs
us that he has jtixt had his pension in
creased from ?fl to $12 j)er month. Be
sides this he will get $200 back pay,
which will help him out considerably.
Mr. Clurk and family have about con
cluded to move onto their ranch, one
mile south of town, toremain a few
.months, owing to Mrs. Clark's feeble
health. During this time he would lease
his shop.
The latent news at hand conveys the
Intelligence that the entire republican
state ticket is elected by a majority of
from 10,000 to 15,000. Ho far as heard
from, Jackson is tho only county in the'
state w hich elected the straight populist
ticket. The republican candidates, A.
A. Jayno for District Att'y and W. C.
Wills, member slate lioard, from the 7th
district are elected by handsome majori
ties. Tho Columbia's great flood will result
in the employment of thousands of men
as soon as the waters recede. There will
Iki miles and miles of railroad to bo re
built, to say nothing of the immense
amount of labor that will lie required to
make the river towns again habitable.
The Northern Pacific will have to rebuild
from Portland for many miles, as will
also the Union Pacific from Portland to
Umatilla. Truly, it is an ill wind that
blows no good.
We learn from a number of horseraia
ers in this section thata sort of epidemic
is going the rounds, which has killed a
number of horses and scores of others
are sick with the mysterious disease.
Horsemen are at a loss to understand
the cause, some thinking that perhaps
it is caused by eating a poisonous weed
called white camos. Horses are surely
low enough without "coming down" in
this manner.
IiOng Creek has been visited by a ter
rific cyclone, oecuriiig Sunday last at U
a. in., passing through tho east side of
the town. Twenty dwellings are in
kindling wood. Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Par
rish and the infant child of Dr. Niekols
were killed, besides many were injured,
and it is thought some fatally. The loss
is estimated from $30,000 to $40,000.
The flouring mill and school house are
ruined. It was the most terrific storm
ever experienced in that section.
Thero was a time when insurance com
panies required a vcshoI to carry a cer
tain number of cats, or they would not
issue a risk, but that clause in the policy
would not be necessary, now, as all cap
tains deem ft certain number of felines
as part of the ships crew. They, keep
the vensel almost clear of rats, which, if
not checked, would soon create havoc,
not only with the merchandise, but also
in eating holes through the sailcloth
and cordage. Some captains have been
knotfn to sail -from the month of the
Columhia with at least a dozen and a
half of cats aboard. " '
A, C. Hawson came in from Arlington
by team yesterday, 7th, aftergoods. He
says that If he gets home all right there
will be forty or fifty big freight terms in
here at once after. Supplies, as the
country aliove is getting short on many
articles, cspeciully sugar, Dalles Chron

Condon has decided to not celebrate
this year, and a number of our citizens
expect to spend the Fourth at Fossil,
of the grandest balls here in the evening
that has ever been given in the county;
Our hall being the largeat and best In
the county for dancing, there is no doubt
that a large number will come over from
Fossil on that evening, as the hull at
that place will not be large enough to
accommodate all of the celebration crowd.
Assistant General Superintendent Bax
tor, of the Union Pacific, thinks it will
cost the Union Pacific two million dol
lars to repair the line Is'tween Portland
and UmaKilla. They do not expect to
resume train service for two months;
meanwhile they will put on boat service.
From up and down theriveroome stories
of fearful loss of property, but strange to
say not a life, so far, has been lost. The
Columbia river, at several points liclow,
in twenty miles wide. Railroad men
think it will take the Great Northern
and Canadian Pacific a month or so to
fully repair their tracks and the North
ern Pacific nearly as long.
The number of officers and men actu
ally killed in battle in all of the Union
armies during the four years of war,
barely exceeds 00,000. The number of
those who died of wounds during the
war is less than 35,0 X). The number
that died of diseases, either resulting
from the hardships and exposure of
warfure, or the incident of natural mor
tality in a great body of men, is about
185,000 for the four years. Adding even
the 24,000 cases of disappearance, con
veniently charged in the records to
death "from unknown causes," the total
of mortality among Union troops during
the war is 1(04,000. Toe cost of the war
probably exceeded, from first to last.
directly and indirectly, $8,425,000,000.
Wedding Bells.
Married, at the residence of Sheriff
Wilcox at Condon, Wednesday, June 13,
1894, Mr. Charles II. Brown of Oakland,
Douglas county, to Miss Beth Barnard
of Fossil, Rev. E. Currau terfuruiing
the ceremony.
The bride's brother, Jas. Barnard and
siHter-in-law, Mrs. Nellie Barnard, wit
nessed the happy event, and ail left for
FoHtil the same evening.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
Hon. T. Barnard, and is a yonng lady of
rre beauty and accomplishment.. The
groom is a young man of excellent habits
and character, who recently graduated
in a Boston college. After a brief viwit
to his home at Oakland the happy
couple will go to housekeeping on the j
old Zachary ranch near Fossil, and en
gage in the stockraising business.
The GivOiiK extends the usual good
wiidtesand congratulations.
Diversified Farming. .
If the farmers iu the Northwest
could or would produce the hams, hud,
bacon, butter and eggs that have been
transported here from other states they
would not feel the decline iu the price of
wheat that they do.
Money saved is as good as money
made, and much letter than money
made and not saved. The truth is, the
consumers hero have been compelled to
send to other states for a very great por
tion of the provisions that should be
produced here.
That the farmers in tho North Pacific
will le necessitated to encourage and
practice diversified farming to a much
greater degree in the future than they
have in the pastseenisa wise conclusion.
As it has been said that "the Lord
helps those who help themselves" we
venture the suggestion that we here in
the North Pacific must undertake to
supply onr own wants in place of trying
to produce grain for export. Times
Mountaineer. Notice.
Rev. E. Curran will hold service at
this place next Sunday, morning and j
evening. The morning service will com,-j
mence at iu:u, owing to menouroi
the Sunday school having been changed
to 11:30 in the forenoon. A cordial in
vitu Lion is extended to all.

of the uncertain time that it can be ship

can hold it at home just as cheaply as at
any of the stations. .
Our town people have had bad luck
with their gardens this spring. First it
was late before they could plant any
thing and when it did come op, the
creek raised and washed it out; now the
frost comes along and takes what was
left. -
There is some talk of having a picnic
at the Stevens Bros.' ranch on Thirty
mile on the 4th of July. There will be

baskets full of good things to eat.
