Misses Mollie Adlard and Myrtle Ste venson, who have been over In Wasco county since last March, returned this week to their homes near Condon. It I said that W. R. Hearst has spent nearly $2,000,000 in the development of the New York Journal, and that the (taper Is not yet on a paying basis. Tom Morgan has become religious since he married and settled down. He has just been elected Sunday School fcupt. at Eightmlle, Morrow county. Arlington Is advertising In the Port land dallies for balloonist to make an ascension at their celebration. What's the matter with the Ooldendale flying machine! Eugene Qnard : Roes Mathews is an applicant for principal of the Fossil pub lic school. We trust he will be elected, aa he is one of the leading teachers in Lane county. M. J. Anderson, the brainy Dufur pol' iliclan and blacksmith, formerly of An' telopo, has been appointed an organiser of the order of W. O. W. and Is out or ganising camps. Salem moneyed men are doing a land office bualneaa In discounting claims against the state, getting aa much as 30 per cent off. What doea Salem want an extra session for? A conservative estimate of (he amount of money spent in Oregon this year by eastern buyers of sheep and cattle places the amount at $500,000 for cattlo and $200,000 (or sheep. Atty. J. W. Ivey of Portland, who de livered several campaign speeches in this county last fall, has just been Bp- pointed collector of customs tor Alaska $10,000 a year job, Cleveland's salary as president for 8 years amounted to $-100,000. He has made the discovery that he lacks one cent of drawing all of It and will proceed to collect that amount. George and Miss Ethel far man, Miss Blanche Mcilalfle and Miss Lettie Lam berson all returned home last week from Forest Grove, where they bad been at' tending the Pacific university. W. J. Bryan did not make such a rocky ran for president, after all. The total vote shows that be received 900,000 more votes than amy other presidential candi- kate ever received up to last election The Salem Statesman says that only a few years ago when only a few people around there raised gooselxtrries they sold at 60o a gallon ; now they are so plentiful that it Is hard to sell at 6c. Mrs. J. W. Know, of Latah, Wash last Sunday gave birth to three hounc Inti eirla and one boy. Each child Is healthy, well formed and weighs 4. lbs No wonder that section is settling up, Frank Bellliird and wife recently mov ed back again from New York to San Francisco. Frank no doubt regrets that he ever left his stock ranch in Ferry Canyon, where ho always made money. Mont Ward has just received a bright little boy nine years old from the Boys and Girls Aid Society of Portland, to adopt and raise as their own child. The boy will have a good home. His name Is Carl Shelton. The Grant County News thinks the amount of money spent in that county this summer for cattle and sheep will reach $100,000. About the same amount perhaps some loss was epept in Gil Uam county this spring, It Is repotted that ltfJOOO head of hors es have been hough l this sprtng In the section of country between Umatilla and Castle Rook, in Washington, by the Llnnton cannery, at an average of $1 60 per head. Borne people never know when they are well on. A Missouri man was sen tenced to twenty years in prison for murder. He appealed and on the new trial the jury has just sentenced hlui to be hanged. Our readers will make a mistake if they fail to read the news on the outside pages of the this paper each week. They are replete with valuable Informa tion, market reports, hints from the doc tor, state news, etc. A Michigan paper gives an account of the sturgeon fisheries back there and the langer the fishermen run from getting the huge 80-pound fish landed. Our Co lumbia river fishermen would use a flab of that site for halt. The three big Examiner prises having been won In the three large towns of California causes a great many people to suspect that it was a "job" this time. That paper will not get as many sub scribers in this county aa formerly. Last Sunday's San Francisco Call has picture of special train of cars' that are being constructed by the railroads as a present for President McKinley. The cars will be the richest and grand est vehicles ever placed on wheels. The Vale Advocate says that the sheep shearers of Malhenr comity are madder than a wet hen. They were promised a raise of s cent a head for shearing if Mc Kinley was elected, but instead they have been compelled to take cent less than last year. Sam Jones says : "If all the wealth of the United States was divided out today each man would get $1000, and in less than six months some fellows would be riding In palace cars and others would be walking cross-ties, bowling for another divy." The city election at The Dalles Mon day was an exciting one. The principal contest was for mayor, between Ex-Post master M. T. Nolan and Atty. W. II. Wilson, the former winning by 100 ma jority. Hon. E. B. Dufur was elected water commissioner. Heppner Gazette: We are reliably in formed that the busted Dalles National bank can not resume business and that it can never pay over 25 per cent. The former proprietor, Malcolm Moody, is at present the proprietor and manager of a bowling alley in The Dalles. Welter's savages have decided to kill General Rivera, the great Cuban leader horn they captured recently. It is not yet announced whether they Intend to eat him or not, bntof course they will, as all of tbe Spaniards are cannibals of the lowest and most vicious type. More time than is necessary is wasted npon school examinations. This seems to be tbe case with almost all schools, public and private. An examination teaches nothing and should therefore he sufficiently short not to interfere greatly with the ordinary course of studies. Portland Telegram. Tbe Oregonian approves Senator Till man's amendent to the tariff bill which provides a per capita tax of $100 on all immigrants to this country. It declares that "Tillman has the right idea of the way to limit and sift immigration, and nothing would do it so effectively as a round capitation tax." About two weeks ago there came to the ranch of S. M. Vancleave on Trail fork 2 good, gentle work horses, about 6 years old, one bay, the other sorrel, each having white strip in face and branded H on right shoulder. The owner will be expected to pay charges for keeping them, advertising, etc. Gov. Budd says he will bring manda mus proceedings against Warden Hale to hang Durrant at San Qulnten on the date fixed, July 9. The inhuman mon ster should have been hanged long ago, and his disreputable lawyers could then apiieal to tbe higher courts to settle points of law jnst as well as now. E. Jacobseu of The Dalles, proprietor of the Jacobsen Music and Book Store, was In town Monday in the interest of his extensiue business. He expects to bring out through this county about Ju ly 10th a number of fine pianos and or sans for sale, and says he will treat our people to some music they never heard before. . J. F. Devendorf, a real estate agent of Sail Jose, Cal.. was here the first of the week looking at the Downing land north of Condon, that be traded some land in Santa Clara county to Mr. Downing for recently. Mr. Downing has traded off all of his land here, except the 160 acres where his bouse stands and several lots in town. Friday's Telegram : There are 18 ap plicants for examination and registra tion before the state board of pharmacy now in session at the Imperial hotel. The members of the board present are : A Yerrington of Eugene, Dr. L Steiner of Salem, J M A Lane of Portland, G C Blukeley of The Dalles, and L W Moody of Portland, Rev. A. R. Olds of Weston preached here last Sunday, morning and evening. He said the attendance was so small and such little interest was manifest in the intended revival meetings that he felt too much discouraged to attempt to hold a revival at this time. He left for borne Monday, and may conclude to return this full slid hold a revival. Hobby Hendricks, who is now mail carrier to Lone Rock, says that yester day when coming near Joe Whyte's place on Thirtymlle, a large lynx left a dead horse it was feeding on and ran Bob and his horse quite a distance, finally giving up the chase. The lynx most have had a great appetite on just then. The examination of applicants for coal mine inspector iias lieen concluded, R. J. Lewis of Carbonado add R. H. Norton of Ruslyn were successful, with a stand ing of 88 for the former and 92 for the latter. Oregonian. This is the Norton that Inspected the Fossil coal mines 7 years ago, and skipped out, leaving a iot of unpaid bills behind him there. Last week the Globb sentenced the Ladd grave robbers to 10 years each in the penitentiary J but as the maximum penalty for that offense Is hut two years, we will have to knock off 8 years on each sentence. Three of them got two years each, but Magone's trial is not ended yet. His defense is the insanity dodge, and he may be let down easier. In his order for the Glohx this week Fred Cornett writes from Austin, Grant county, as follows: "There is lots of grass in the mountains this summer and the prospects are that it will be one of tbe best seasons for sheep we have had for years. Ad Renner met with a loss of 160 head of sheep on the trail, but aside from this the boys have bad good luck." Rov. R. C. Oglesby died last week at Jacksonville, at the age of 64. He waa born lu Adams county, III., 'and crossed the plains with bis parent, settling at Fort Wayne, Jackson connty, in 1852. He united with the church when 17 years old and was ordained at minister in the Methodist church 30 years ago, 16 years of which he spent as presiding el der in different parts of tbe state. Tbe Antelope school board inserted a notice in tbe Oregonian, asking for ap plications for their school. It brought 30 applications, reaching til the way to Pennsylvania. The board has selected Prof. E. M. Haley of Monmouth as prin cipal and Miss Ellon McCabe of Clifton for the primary department. Mr. and Mrs. S. I. Stratum of Mayville and Miss Ella Wrenn of Arlington were among the number of applicants. Win, B. Neidermeyer, tbe gentlemanly agent for The Dalles nursery, canvassed this section this week. He is greatly encouraged at tbe large orders for trees, shrubbery and roses he isgettingall over this county. It seems that he has sold orders to nearly everyone inthe conn ty who owns any land or town lots. This is due largely to their ad in this paper, It pays to advertise in a paper that is read by everybody in tbe county. Writing about Alaska, to which be has made two trips during tbe past year, Atty. J. C. Leasure explodes a very common error regarding tbe climate, as follows: "Many people have been de ceived regarding climate. The truth is, the climate is mild all along the coast, and nothing prevents outdoor work the year round. Last winter the lowest the mercury registered at Juneau was zero. and that for a very brief period." Within the last week this county has been favored by several fine showers of rain, that of Monday afternoon being the hardest thunder shower we have bad for several vears. The ground is wet down to a depth of perhaps four inches, and it would be impossible to estimate the im mense value it has been to the suffering crop, which were lairly gasping lor rain The farmers almost look npon it as hav ing rained 20-dollar sold pieces, or its equivalent, Wool growers have little to gain in waiting for higher prices for wool this year". Tbe fact is, after the tariff bill becomes a law the price of wool is bound to remain about the same as it is now, because of the supply on hand being greater than the demand. By this time next year it is reasonable to expect a higher price for wool than prevails at the present time, but the conditions do not justify the growers holding this sea son's clip, as seems to be their disposl tion. Gene Smith left Tuesday for his old home at Greeley, Colorado, where he will engage in the furniture business with hia .brother. Nellie Smith, who went back there with her grandma a month ago, recently had a surgical oper ation performed on her throat, which had been gradually closing up for several years, caused by bronchial troubles. The doctors said they never saw as bad a case) of that kind and that she could not have lived more than a couple of monthB lon ger without an operation. Their charge for the work was only $9, and Gene said the Portland doctors wanted $100 for do ing the work. Gene's family will re main here until fall. ' ' A dispatch from Washington, dated Julie 16th, says: "Thomas R. Lyons of Heppner has been appointed tnwlisite commissioner at Juneau, Alaska." His many friends In this county are pleasedl to learn of Tom's lucky strike. This is a position that pays f 2000 a year salary and will require only a very small por tion of his time. In addition to this he can perhaps make double as much out of his regular law practice up there. The Heppner Gazette savs: Mr. Lyons, as everyone knows, is fully qualified to fill the position to which he has been ap pointed and his many friends through out the ntate will be delighted to hoar of the selection so wisely bestowed upon one of Oregon's most talented young attorneys, tie will leave in a few-days for his new fluid of lata" Lone Rock Rumblings. Rev. Johns of Fossil preached here ast Sunday to a large congregation. Hugh Neel returned from California the first of the week, where he and bis ife spent the last year. We have had several days of rainy weather this week, which is worjh many ahonsand dollar piece to this section. While raising R G Robinson's barn a few days ago, Joe Robinson was struck on the head by a piece of falling timber and nearly knocked out. Mrs J B Goff has been confined to bed for several days with some kind of gath ering in her head, which causes her a great deal of pain and suffering. The wind storm Monday blew down one of John Madden's fine 20-year-old pear trees, on which were at least ten bushels of pears. John regrets the loss very much, as It was the largest and fin est fruit tree in the entire valley. Everything is booming here in the way of fixing np for the Fonrth, All connected with the celebration are put ting forth every effort to make it a suc cessand it is pretty generally known that nothing succeeds like success. R G Robinson sold a fine lot of cattle e first of 4ke week, at good prices. Everybody seems to want cattle just novf. 4Vby didn't they raise them when (bere was no sale for them 7 It would have paid a great deal better than calamity-howling and discussing the sil ver question. In another year or two cattle are sure to bring 50 per cent bet ter prices than the prices paid now. Arlington Items. Hon. Dal Reed is visiting his parents at Fossil this week. A good deal of wool has already been sold here, the highest price pd being 9c. Atty Gurley was on tbe sick list the last two weeks, but we are pleased to see him out again. The handsome anatomy of Frank Rob inson is now visible behind Charley Wenner's counters. Mrs E B Comfort, a long and respect' ed resident of Arlington, left this week to make ber future home In the valley, Born, on June 21st, to the wife of R E Smith, a bouncing baby girl. Mother and daughter doing well, but Ed looks awful." Don't forget that we are going to bave a "terrible" good time here upon the M, or rather. Preparations are be ing made for a grand balloon ascension Tbe A O U W lodge gave a social to members and their families Saturday eyening and it was an enjoyable affair, as was also the social by tbe United Ar tisans the first of the week. - Here's a Snap for Somebody.
