Columbus Urider, who Is just recover ing from a severe sick spell, Is expected borne this week from the mountains. Mr, Gamaliel Davidson, of Davidson, visited his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. nd Mrs. Howard L. Propel, near Con don this week. Mrs. K. Meek and son Ed visited their relatives at ileppner the latter part of last week VVui. Burivner and family. They arrived borne Monday, Bill Hughes of ileppner bas just been taken to hospital In Portland for the purpose of having an operation perform ed upon himself for appendicitis. This is big country, as our readers ' no doubt have observed. When the sun sots at the extreme western boundary of Alaska it bas already risen in Maine. A writer on the present social problem ays : "Let us agree to limit each man's holdings to 200,000." That proposition suite us exactly j bring on your 1200,000. The supreme court justices of Oregon will meet in Pendleton on July 81, to band down decisions in cases argued ud submitted at the May term iu Pen dleton. If that Chicago physician is right who ays that "there is no such thing as ppendicitis," the joke seems to be on the relatives of thome who bave died with It. The editor of one of onr exchanges, peaking from experience, pathetically remarks: "There are two things In this life for which man is never prepared twins." Crook county authorities last week punished man with heavy fine for driving sheep over a grade west of Prine vlllej then compelled him to go and clear the grade. Mrs. Elisabeth Tullls of Matnoy is visiting her sister, Mrs. T. B. Mating nd family at Oneill, Nebraska, to which address she orders her Glorb sent for couple of months. Borne fellow bas discovered that a fly has 8000 eyes. We believe It, for havn't we tried to slip up on one many a time and failed? All bald-beaded men can bear witness to it. The GiiORi force thankfully acknowl edges receipt of box of very fine apples from L. W, Darling, which were raised on his excellent farm at Appledale, seven miles northwest of town. There is being revived In this state an old ordinance which provides that any man who does not support bis wife may lie sold at auction for sis months' service, the money to go to the wife. K. II. Boblneon, young business man of Arlington, was here last week, "looking- 'round." Mr. Robinson has old his Arlington store and is "winding up" the old business. Ileppner Uaxette. Oliver Ilarr is hostler at Johnson's livery stable for several weeks, while Ed Nelson is out canveying 8. Julius Mayer, the welt known wholesale liquor dealer of Portland, through the interior tow ns. Rev. Johns, the Methodist minister of Fosnil, will preach at Condon next Bunda v. niorninii and evening. This will be his last service this conference year, the regular annual meeting being held at Pendleton on August 25th. John Lyons returned borne Saturday, having visited Ileppner a day or two on the return trip. By the way, some of the boys think John is preparing to desert the ranks of singlecussedness this fall and we might add that we think so too. Grasshoppers have not damaged grain to any great extent in this section this year. They seem to have nipped D. B. Trimble's oats, just west of town, more than any other grain In this vicinity But the little brutes will soon hrtvenoth ing to nibble at but the stubbles. P. N. Shelley, of Pleasant Hill, Lane county, through the medium of an ad' vertising matrimonial concern, became acquainted with Miss Enoree Jay, of Augusta, Georgia. They corresponded, , agreed to marry, he sent her ticket, he came on to Eugene, met him, and the next dav married him. The newly- married man is a brother of L. L.Shelley of Atayville. A private dlapatch Informs ns that the table expenses of that famous throat- cutter, the sultan of Turkey, amounts to (5,000 a day, making him the greatest spendthrift iu the world in this renpect. It's a wonder he hasn't the gout. As if to increase the distress incident to the hot weather, Tom Watson now threatens to organize a new political party. It is too bad that this man can't be Induced to go Into the airship busi ness and run an airship line to Clondyke. Rev. A, F. Bade left Mondtty for sev eral days' vl.lt with his relatives and friends at Milton. It will be discourag ing news to some of onr young damsels to learn that one of Milton's fairest young ladies is serionslv thinking of changing her name to Bade, one of these days. Mathews Bros, are now prepared to do threshing by the wholesale. They have just purchased a new separator to run with their engine. They bsvealso put up a cook wagon, which will be of great convenience and labor saving to the farmers' wives. Eugene Guard. The Gazette distinguished itself by getting into Justice Richardson's clutch es again the other day, and was let off with the "usual." Ileppner Gazette. It strikes ns that one of the Gazette's chief revenues is paying fines but it goes the wrong way to do any good. MIbs Pearl Fitzwater bas been engaged to teach the fall term of school in Dist. 36, at the Brown place on Rock Creek, commencing Aug. 0th. Her sister Grace will finish ber term of school on Thirty mile on Aug. 6th. Miss Maggie Wilson will teach the fall term on Trailfork. "As we go to press," remarks an ex change, "we hear that the price of har vest bands is $2 day j so, if you don't get your paper next week yoq will know that we bave gone to the harvest field to get money with which to buy our better i a calico dress and a sack of flour." The farmera feel very jubilant over the good prices paid for new wheat. Tbey thought the market would open at bout 60 cts. bushel, but at Pendleton nd other Eastern Oregon points the market has opened at 60 cts. bushel, which will likely increase to 65 cts. before long. People who are not invited to social gatherings very naturally conclude they re not wanted ; and people who trade feel the same way toward the merchant who does not advertise. If be doesn't an k for trade he evidently doesn't want it nd It's poor dog that isn't worth whistling for, remarks an exchange. The world grows frantic because a ton of gold was brought down on a steamer from Alaska. Yet no Interest is occa sioned abroad because Gilliam coontv promises to produce a wheat crop equal in value to two tons of gold. We take selfish satisfaction in prophesying that many more people will starve in Alaska than in Gilliam county. The farmers of Gilliam county are just now "heels over head" In work Jisr vest ing the largest crop ever known in the history of the country. They will all bave so much inoney this fall that If each farmer carries bis cash all in one pocket it will pull him sideways when he walks, and is almost sure to make him bow-legged packing it around. We take this cheerful paragraph from the Chicago Inter Ocean : "The wheat crop this year gives promise of 100,000, 000 bushels in excess of last vear. Bet ter still, wheat July 16, 1807, was worth 74 cents cash. On July 16, 1K06, it brought just M j' cents, making 19V cents increase for the pockets of the producer. Any farmer's boy can figure ont the gain to American farmers bv multiplying676,000,000 bushels by 10'i The report current in both Europe and America that this paper is about to be gin the construction of a double-track railroad to the Clondyke gold mines in Alaska la without foundation. We have as yet made no move in that direction, although we believe such a road would be a paying invehtuient. On the strength ef these reports, an army of editors bave already applied to us for a tree pass over the route, in order to help along the en terprise. On last Saturday occurred the regular quarterly business meeting of the Con gregational church of this place, and In addition to the regnlar business, call was given to Rev. A. F.'Bade to assume charge of the church here as pastor for the coming year. The call as yet is not answered but It is thought will be in the affirmative. It is hoped so, for Mr. Bade is very popular here. For young man he does remarkably well, and will become an imminent divine some day. J. A. Richmond of Ferry Canyon, who was convicted In circuit court here last fall for horse stealing, and who is noted for always being at war with his neigh bors, narrowly escaped being shot last Friday by A. N. 8. Cotiin, one of his neighbors. Richmond was helping Au gust Seekamp head wheat on Mr. Cot tin's place, and during the day he re peatedly tried to provoke a quarrel with Mr. Cottiu. Iu the afternoon he became so abusive that Mr. Cottiu lost sll pa tience and told him he would either bave to behave himself or leave the place. Richmond at once attacked the helpless old man with a pitchfork, and being un armed he narrow! v escaped serious in jury. He managed, however, to get to the house and bronght out his gun, which caused Richmond to skiddaddlo ont of that with a speed that required looking 100 rardaaheiid of the dust to see bim goiug. Arlington Items. Banker Hurlburl and C W Lord paid The Dalles visit Sunday. Paul Kreft, The Dalles painter, la here again preparing to do some more fine work. Paul la all right. J F Belsher, who bas been ont here for the last two years, bas left for his former borne in Illinois. Farmers are all busy heading in this end of the county, causing a little lull in business here for awhile. . Cbas D Bennett of Olex will make shipment of horses East next Monday, 8o will Bhurte Bros A Smith. The piano and organ men have been doing the country around here lately. with what success we do not know. Bob Watkina is remodeling his prop erty, recently purchased, and fitting it up in tip top shape for jewelry store. Wheat sacks advanced Jc Saturday. From indications we would advise the farmers to get their measure in pretty quick. John C Sweet is remodeling his former building across from the Grande bote! and will soon but In a stock of "wet goods." LC Edwards made a business trip to Portland this week. His wife accom panied him and will spend few weeks at the coast. We notice quite lot of new machin ery going out for the new mill at May- ville. Must be getting its teeth ready to do some grinding. The Wasco Warehouse Co are build ing a large addition to their platform, making preparation to handle the enor mous grain crop this fall. C II 8hurte started home Sunday, after spending a couple of months out here in the interest of stock for a Chicago firm. We hope to see him again. The warm weather makes the city lads and lasses feel like going out in the mountains, but most of them have de cided to wait until next year and then go to Aluskft. A band of roaming Gypsies gave ns a social call the last of the week, and we assore you they left no stone untnrned. Marshal Carlisle gave two of them s free lunch at the "Libby Prison," which was gentle hint to git, and tbey got. J A Thomas, former Free of the Ar lington Natl Bank, has been with us the last few days. We understand he con templates starting for the gold fields in Alaska next spring with aatock of goods. We hope he will make a "brl" of mon ey, as things have not been coming bis way very smoothly of late. C A Shorte went to Weston last week lor a much-needed rest and to recuper ate from his recent severe sickness from fever. No man in the state has applied himself more closely to business than Uiarenre has for the last several rears nd it is having a telling effect on bis health. A few weeks' rest will doubt less put him in good running order again. His little son Curtis accompanied him. Several of our people have the Clon dyke fever iu its worst form. Charles Bressler was np last week from Portland shaking hands with old friends and say ing good bye before going on trip to the Clondyke gold mines. He expects to sail ou the 30th on the steamer Elder from Portland, to be gone a year or more. We hope he will strike it rich. W A Testerman of Olex is also off for the Clondyke to become "goldhng." Lone Rock Rumblings. P L Ham has gone to the McDuffee hot springs to recuperate a few weeks. Otho Ward returned this week from Montana, where be bad been at work for some time. John Madden has been ont for several days with his binder "severing" some of Lone Rock's heavy grain crop, R G Robinson's children are down just now with scarlet fever, which seems to be spreading over the country pretty rapidly. Charley Fraxer has sold his crop and leased his place to Henry Neel, and ex pects to spend the winter with hie par ents in Polk county. Harry Stahl came np from Oregon City last Saturday evening, bringing with him a bran-new wife (his own) af ter whom he made the special trip. The new bride's maiden name was Miss Emma Bott, formerly of this place. .The hsppy young couple will reside at Lone Rock, where they have many friends who wish them well. " Alex Fisher brought over a load of fine fruit from bis Haystack ranch last week. He is complete success as peddler, also at spinning yarns some of them being whollopers, and nearly as hard to swallow as Gen. Weyler's war stories. It is amazing to hear him tetl abont the knowledge the grasshoppers over there have ; and he tells it without even batting an eye. Some of our silver buys are almost con verted and talk strongly of going to Alas ka to get supply of gold. They have made np their minds that gold will do "on pinch" until they get free silver. The thought does not seem to have oc curred to the rainbow-chasers thnt even shonld they get free silver they will have to work just as hard for it as they do now, and perhaps harder than they will have to work in penetrating the bowels of the earth for the yellow metal in the frozen arctic regions, where the winters re almost constant darkness, 8 months long, with the mercury at 80 degrees below aero. Certain Western newspapers are bot- ftig that tbey get the public printing by offering to do it at less than the legal rate. The cutthroats onght to be arrest ed for swindling theuiHelves and disgra cing the profeiision. Press And Printer. Endless mischief is done by gossipers, whose tongue is hung as a pivot and runs at both ends. Moreover, what mischief could gossipers do if it were not for the gossip hearers? According to an old writer, both these classes ought to lie hung the one by the tongue and the other br the ear. Our Co. Snpt. of schools, E. W.Dag gett, last week sent one copy of the school laws to each clerk of the forty-six dis tricts in the county. There was not enough to go around, but one new copy in each district ought to keep school matters grinding smoothly ontil the leg islature meets again. One great long step towards settling the financial problem of today would be to change the present statute of things, and instead of farmer boys coming to town for-employment, let there be a general stampede to the farm by the hearty young bloods of the city. That would start progress in the right direc tion. State Journal. A London journal of society says that the prince of Wales is the most thrift less man in the world. In 33 vears Al bert Edward has "run throbgh" $60,000,- 000. The government has paid him $25,000,000, with an additional allowance of 16,000,000 for traveling expenses. All this he has spent and yet today it is estimated he owes various tradespeople and his rich friends $20,000,000. A Chicago physician is said to be do ing great iujury to bis business by pre scribing air for two of the most common complaints doctors have to treat. These are headache and indigestion. To cure these things he tells his patients to throw their shoulders back and breathe deeply, retaining the air in the lungs several seconds before respiring. Another doc tor has said people could cure half their ills by the same method of deep breath ing, but they won't because the remedy is so simple and inexpensive. Dr. J. li.
