Mr. Downing will look over the valley with a view of locating here. lie will take rooms in Santa Clara and probably make his headquarters here, and if an opening it found to tult him he will likely inveatin businest In town. Santa Clara (Cal.) Journal. Zelina, the "showman," who wat through here last apring exhibiting what he called a mummy giant, passed through here Tuesday on hit way to Lone Rock. He didn't have the mummy with him, for the slraplo reason that it Is "in soak" to a Canyon City niorchant for 115.

Downing of Oregon, came down to see ut, but we were hardly prepared for one of Oregon 't heaviest The scales groan under him at 232 pounds and be hat evidently not stopped growing yet. We hope by giv ing him the strongest chair and placing props under the family bed to avoid an accident. Mr. Downing it delighted with thla part of the state and will probably locate here should be be able to arrange bit butinest to that end. Friday morning Mrs. Lon Stevens at tempted to awake ber husband and found him to be in an unconscious con dition, evidently suffering from the effecte of an overdose of some powerful opiate.

As soon as lumber can be had the grounds will be enlarged and a good substantial fence placed around It. Evreybody is rejoicing, over the fine weather we are having of late. The grasB ia growing nicely and stockmen generally feel hopeful of an easy winter. Persona who have beon over the coun try considerable of late say tbat stock of all kinds are in bettor condition in this locality than in most other places. An effort was made last week to get enough subscribed to have two months more school, but we understand that the necessary amount of funds were not subscribed.

Goff hat accepted a new fire insurance policy from the Firemen Fund Ins. Co. of San Francisco, in place of the one he held In the defunct.State Co.

Mrs. Mary Garrison of Canby passed through here this week on her way home from a short visit with relatives at Lone Rock. The Methodists are holding revival meetings here, with large attendance and great interest. Let the good work go on, is what we holler. A band of lambs belonging to Mrs. Mary Brown of Condon was taken across the river here last week. They are the finest sheep we have seen this season. Rev. Bramblet gave a lecture here last week from his chart, which raised quite a commotion in camp and caused a chal lenge to be sent to several ministers to debate certain questions raised; but none have accepted yet. Geo. McKay of Mitchell brought 135 head of horses here last week to break for the saddle and harness until spring, when be will eblp them to the East. Tuesday tbey broke down the corral fence and started back to their old range but the boys caught them about 80 miles from town and brought them back.

"Marlar, I want ter tell yer one thing: I kin never marry a girl wot chews gum." - "Well why don't you give Up yer borrlrt ctgaroots? " "With us men it'a diffrent;. we needs a stimilant." "Detectives wanted; no experience required," was an advertisment that caught the eye of a gullible youth at Antelope. He was ambitious, and wrote to tbe concern for information They sent Ixiok word to the writer to in close $5.00 for hia commission, which would be sent. He did so, and received tbe terse reply t Thifnka for the money I yon are too much of a sucker to make detective. Turn your talents in another direction." ' , A Just Verdict. The case of the state vs. Thomas Lew ie wat given to the Jnry at The Dalles Saturday afternoon, and within thirty ininutee the court wat informed that a verdict had been reached. When the verdict was read It was that the jury found the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment. The crime for which Lewis was tried was tl e burning of 80 tons of bay belonging to Phil Brogan, near Antelope, on the night of the 13th of November. Although the evidence given in the trial of tbis cae was entire ly circumstantial, It wat to conclusive that the jury could arrive at no other conclusion than that the defendant was ftie guilty party. Thit has been one of tbe most expen sive cases to that county that has been tried during the present term of court, 16 witnesses having been broogbt from Antelope, but it is money well expended, for Lewis' crime it one tbat should not go unpunished. Society hat no protec tion against the diabolical deeds of an Incendiary, except the punishment meted out by the courts after the crime bat been committed, the property of the victim destroyed, and whenever one of thit class of criminals is brought to jus tice, society feelt the relief that it may serve to prevent other aimilar crimes. Banker Bush Interviewed. OregonlaD, A. Bush the Salem banker, well known tbrougout tbe Northwest, baa just re turned from a two months' trip in tbe East. Most of bis time was spent in tbe New England states, New York and Washington, D. C. From bit observa tions, Mr Bush feelt warranted in say ing tbe worst of the bard timet is over in the East. Mr. Bush la a Cleveland democrat, and is very discreet in hit statements of the business condition of tbe country, at associated with politics. He maintains that times would have been as distressing had Harrison been re-elected. Mr. Bush gives President Cleveland tbe credit of averting disaster and maintaining the credit of thit gov ernment. He finds a considerable bus- ness element In favor of renominating Cleveland. Should he be tbe nominee, Mr. Bush estimates that, besides tbe sprinkling of democrats, he would carry the support of balf tbe republicans that can read and write. He considers Am son's chances best, and Reed'a next best for tbe republican nomination. Tbe position of neither, eays Mr. Busb, ia clearly defined on the money question Mr. Busb has felt the pulse of business in the East, and gives it out there will be a strong demand made on both polit ical parties for a platform clear and uc equivocal on the money question. Mr. Buah it also an orthodox democrat on tariff lines, and goes so far as to say tbat Eastern manufactories are becoming adjusted to tbe new order, and want no change. Free wool, with a reduction on manufactured woolens, he holds, is worth more to Oregon than a high tar iff on wool. While Banker. Bush con cedes that things now point to a re publican victory next year, yet he sees a glimmer of hope for his party in the fact that this is an era of tidal waves, and the unexpected may happen.
