Who wants to trade the Globk 5 or 6 cords of wood, at $5 a cord, for any kind of lumber he may want? Don't all speuk at once. Travelers across the Cascades say there is six feet of snow on the summit, and hero's hoping it will all stay there undisturbed and unmelted. Charley Terrin left the first of thi week to open up his new harness shop at Antelope, lie was in Portland last week getting supplies for the shop. Forty cents has already been offered for this year's wheat crop In Umatilla. Jrtome predict as high a prlco as fifty cents er bushel. East Oregonlan.

We regret that we have not the room this week to publish an Interesting pro gram, which was excellently rendered by the Matncy Flat school, on the clos ing dny, Friday lust. Miss Bessie FiUwater finished her school in Idea precinct and returned home Monday. Hhe evidently is pretty opular over there, as she Iiuh betn en gaged to teach the fall term. L. W. Darling made a flying business trip to Lost Valley Tuesday to look after the interests of the T. F. Barton ranch, which has just been deserted by the Gemmell Bros, ltis wife accom panied him. The following appear in the county court proceedings of Wasco county, taken from The Dalles Chronicle : "One deputy allowed county clerk at 7i per month. One deputy allowed sheriff at 75 per month." Why doesn't somebody bring some J&ccf to town ? The town has been "out" of meat for two weeks. This is the greatest cattle country in the world, and yet it sceois to be the hardest place to get beef. It should not be thus. The Arlington-Fossil singe manage ment lias changed hands again, Lee Phares selling the complete outfit to Lucian 1'arker, after running the routo just one week. Mr. Parker will take charge of the business next Monday. Tue'great railroad strike Is still on, but the prospect are that it w ill be off in a few days; since the U. 8. troops are after the anarchistic strikers. About 30 rioter were shot and killed at and near Chicago Sunday lust by the soldiers. Married, on July 4th, on Trail Fork, Mr. Chas. W. White and Mrs. Nellie Hutchinson, Hquire Wilkinson White, the groom's father, performing the cere mony. The contracting parties have a host of friends who joiu the Guhik in good wishes. While leading one of the stage horses Monday near the Kciaur place north of town, I-ee Phares got his fore finger of the right hand caught in a twist in the roi and about an inch of the finger was torn off. The doctor dressed the wound, which is a painful one. There is not the slightlcst cause for alarm in the reported ravages of the grain aphis. Thee little green , bugs, while numerous, are doing no damage whatever. The story that the kernels of the grain have all been eaten half In two by the bugs is a bugaboo. John Brown of Hoover creek was in town Wednesday with wood. He com pliments our road "supervisor, I). B. Trimble, by saying that Thirtymile hill is fixed in better shape than it hns ever been before, and says all the teamsters feel the same way about it. Bully for Trimble I Miss Cordie Keiaur met with what might havo been a serious accident Wednesday evening. She had juststart ed from town for her home on horse hack, when the saddle turned and she ftSU violently to the ground, receiving some severe bruises, but fortunately no bones were broken. Heppner Gazette f Our county court has refused to allow deputies for either the sheriff or clerk. The question will again be considered at the next term of court. The public will understand that both officers are now salaried, receiving according to law if 2,400 each, The earn ings of both offices go to the couuty, Our people are njain! blessed with dolly mail from the east and west. The railroad Is completed almost to The Dalles from the east and it will be only a few day? yet until ft will be completed from the west, and the public will have regular train service again a change that will bo welcome to all of us. Constable Dan lilnehart made an of ficial trip to the Loet Valley country Wednesday and to Ferry Canyon next day, serving papers in divil suits to re cover nioney. A good way to avoid be ing sued is to pay debts promptly when they become due, A better way still is to not run in debt. Pay as you go. Our type last week made it say that Harve ltiggins won the 80-yd foot race at Fossil on the , which is a mistake. It should have read Wm. Hlggins, in stead. Mr. iliggins adopted the good old way, and we believe the surest way of winning a race he took the lead from the first and kent it the whole wav through. II. B Hendricks took in Fossil, Lost Valley and Lone Itock the fore part of the week on business. He says both sawmills are running full blast and have doodles of good lumber on their grounds. Mr. II. reports crops and gardens as looking better than ever before in the history of the country, and thinks the fall (train will fill better than the sorinir grain. The Condon country catches the wan dering immigrants as they travel through between California and Washington. either way. Within the last month no less than a dozen have settled in this vicinity, and say that of all the country they have seen in the West, this section please them the lst. Come riifht along; there is room for thousands more. Rev. E. Curran will preach here next Sunday, morning and evening. Mr. Cur ran has done much good work here dur ing the last year. When his 11 rut year expired our people very much objected to exchanging him for a new man, and he has been re-appolnted to this circuit for another year. He has made himself very topular with all the best people in in circuit. Wiley Miller has leased his excellent ranch just north of town for a term of two years to D. B. Trimble and Pat Kkelly. Wiley and family left Thursday for Looking Glass, Douglas county, where they will reside for the next two years. They drove across the country, and expect to make the trip in 11 days. They are good citizens and their many friends here regret to1 lose them from our midst. Our county court has allowed $900 a year each to 11. N. Fraaer, deputy clerk, and T. G. Johnson, deputy sheriff. This with the clerk's salary of $1500 amounts to f2400 a year; and with the sheriff's salary of (2000 will amount to 21)00 a year. Besides this the clerk gets all the income from land and notary business, and the sheriff the board of prisoners, also fees for taking prisoners and insane persons to penitentiary and asylum. Bob and Frank Gemmell, who have had a lease of T. F. Barton' ranch in Lost Valley since Mr. Barton ami family moved to EllensbOrg 18 months ago, left last week, presumably for Texas, where they formerly lived. There Is nothing singular about this, except that they leave behind them debts to the amount of about $:t00, which is duo Mr. Barton for rent, etc. What makes their sudden disappearance appear all the more sus picious is the fact that they neglected to keep the fences up, and what promised to Ik? a line crop of hay and grain has been almost ruined by cattle running ujion it. First reports of any accident, disaster or happening of any kind that interests the public are invariably exaggerated. The first reports of the damage done by the high waters of the Columbia to the railroad were to the effect that the track was damaged $5,000,000 and that trains could not run over it before January, 18!5. The following from the Oregonian is reliable: "The water has receded sufficiently to permit a close estimate of j tho damage to the O. R. &K. rail line; along the Columbia river, and men are J now at work at many points. It is known that $85,000 will put the road in running order from Portland to The Dulles, and that no greater eum wilt lie necessary for its restoration from The Dalles to Umatilla. The water has fallen so slowly, and still is so high, that not much could be done hitherto; but the work will proceed rapidly from this time, and by the end of July the road will lie ready for business." The most eagerly-looked-for freighter that ever camo to town was G. G. Par man, who arrived here Wednesday even ing from The Dalles, with a load of sugar, coffee, tobacco and such provis ions that our people bad Ixwn "out of" for several weeks, for Miller A Dunn Bros. Mr. Partrmn was five days on the way, and met with considerable difficul ty on the route. While camped at the Deschutes Sunday night some parties living In that vicinity drove off Mr. Par man's horses with a view to robbing his wagon while he hunted for them. Dur ing tho night also they watched for an opportunity and while Mr. Parman was asleep they stole about $60 or $75 worth of provisions and goods from his wagon and made good their escape. This loss will fall pretty heavy upon whoever has to stand good for it. Mr, Parman ex pects to start back ngiiin at once for more freight, and will get out a search warrant and have the houses of the sus pected parlies searched, and the chances are that a portion of the stolen goods will be recovered.
