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,

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.
