The Indians at certain seasonp, roving in merry bands, gntrmr largo quantities, wat thorn into paste, and then press the paste into square cakes and dry them for winter ii I'm, tu lie eaten as a kiuu ot bread with their oily snlmon. Herries alone, with the lavUh bloom that belongs to them, are enough to show how line and rich this noilhern wilderness must be. LONE ROCK RUMBLINGS. Mr 1 L Ham is on the sick list this week with the "grippe," or something of the sort. Business in our burg is pretty dull since the holidays are over. Our mer chants say trade is too thin to justify a market report tins ween. The people of this locality are wonder ing now what great sensation the 8. F. Examiner will "work" next, since the Klondikers are about starved out and Dnrrant has been hanged. Billy Brown snys he couldn't "gouge" the Yankees back East, so he traded his mules oil' for some of a different specie and brought them back to Oregon and shifted them off onto the Eastern Ore gon bnnchgrussers. A woodehopper in the timber near Lone Rock goes about his work with ft hugu cow bell attached to his buck, lie says he means to take no chances of a shot from fools out in quest of deer, who don't know a deer from a man. 21 above xero Sunday niaht was tho coldest we have had so far this winter. .Snow on the adjacent hills is not more than an inch or so in depth and in the valley it has all disappeared, lint the ground is froxen and the roads are like cobble stones.

Geo Millar's huge candle is now about burned. He lit it on New Year's day and keeps it burning all the time, except a few hours at night. Wil Colwell accompanied his mother, Mrs Alex llardie, to her home on Trail fork this week, after a visit of several weeks with the family of her son here. Georgo Washington Crawford of Lone Rock, the gret silver orator, went over to Khermau county this week to deliver a lot of pictures, for which he is agent. Only 81 votes were east at our city election last week. There lining but one ticket In tho field, of course the nomi nees were all elected by "overwhelming majorities." Arlingtonites are wondering if they will have to Import ice next summer. No ice was put up here for several years,' which is most excellent proof of onr mild and delightful climate. W L Barker of Condon, accompanied by Frank Caldwell and Albert (.'amine, I shipped 250 head of rattling fine large hogs from here to Troutdale tintnrday, where he received 4c a pound for them. All of them 'visited Portland before re turning home. The.doKS of Arlington evidently have forgotten the raid that the mar.il.nl made ; on them last winter, from tho way they keep up a racket every night. Koine Jf these pleasant days they will find them selves in a eck of trouble, or worse, if their owners do not keep thorn at home nights. . ' , i A great many outsiders are taking ad vantage of the good school here this win ter. The teachers have the pupils great-! ly interested in their studies and there j is no kicking by parents, as is usually' the case where there is a large-school running. There are just five months: more of school. I The writer will most assuredly let the Yakima admirer know onr hat numlier, and might add right here that we hope the disease is catching, and that every town and city in the U. S. will respond in a similar manner. We think it best to send in our number as soon as pos sible, for the longer wo wait tho larger the hat will have to be, as such compli ments are apt to give us the "swelled head." It in our aim to give such news as we lliinx is of interest to the public, j anu ii Hii'TiiB us pleasure to Know uiai our elRirt in that direction is appreciated. Like the publisher, the life of a reporter is not always strewn with roses, for if he overlooks an item that lie never heard of, Some fellow is sure to feel like reduc ing the size of the rejrter's bead a numlier or two. A would-be bad man, J II Conrad, a brakebenm tourist, who came to town recently and was employed in the kitchen of the Grand hotel, had a row with the Chinese cook Friday night and got fired, lie at once filled up on righting whiskey and started out to lick somebody. He went to the liowling alley and became so iioiuy that Mr Aldrich was obliged to throw him out. Later on he returned mid found the Chinaman there ' with ' whom he hud the row and at once made j for him with murderous intent, llei jerked out an ugly looking pibtot, which in some manner "went oil" too soon, (or just soon enough) the bullet striking himself Iu the left leg above the knee and came out below the knee. It knock ed all the tight out of hi in and he was taken to the hotel, where IV Uuedy dressed the wound, which will make Conrad a cripple for life. John Morman, the well-known shop man of this section, was found dead in bis ls-d nt The Bailee lnst Tuesdnv nt 6 i o'clwk in a room over a saloon. Mor man had been drinking heavily for sev eral days, and was up all of the uinlit before, going to lied Tuesday morning about 5 o'clock. As he did uo't put in an appenranee dm-ing the clay, one of his friends went to his room and found him lying in bed partially dressed, having lieen dead, to all appearance, several hours. Tho verdict of a coroner's jury was that be died of heart failure, pro duced by the excessive use of intoxicants. Morman possessed some property, hav ing quite a band of sheep. Some yenrs ago he ran a saloon in Arlington and still owned some property here, ilo hnd been on a spree in The Ialles since New Year,s day, and was on bis way to Port land to visit his step-daughter, Miss Sadie Quiner, formerly of this place. Some wonderful crop stories are being told in Washington just now. Adam Stoneberger, from 100 acres of land, bar vested (MiOO bushels of wheat, or an aver ago of 60 bushels to tho acre. This wheat was the red-chaff variety, spring sown on summer fallow land. It sold for 75 cents per bushel, and paid the grower 45 per acre for his crop. Throughout the w hole l'alouse country crops have been excep tionally large, and farmers were never more prosperous. One man Inst spring offered his ent ire possessions to his credi t ors If they would release him, but at their request he put in another season. He has cleared his farm, made numerous improvements, and has f 1000 in the bank out of this year's crops. Y'ields of 40 to 60 buRhels to the aero were common, and many farmers who have been struggling against adversity for years find them selves in comfort. To School Directors. F.ditor of Uuiijk: Will you please call attention in yonr paper to the importance of all School biatricts and Incorporated towns making their local tax levy and reporting the snnio to this oflice "not. later than Feb ruary 1st; and that they can have the AfAcregate value of the property in their respective School Districts or towns, if they desire it. upon which to base their lew, hv making application to this ot' lice. Their mooting should be culled. levy voted, and report made, not Inter than, -teo. 1st. Very truly, U. S. 1iiaku, County Clerk OLEX EXPLOSIONS. Mr Haner visited his son over Sunday at Condon. We made a mistake in date of dunce at Olex last, week, il will be on !4th lust, instead of 15th. Wet Itros will furnish the music, and a good time is assured, Mr AlWt Miller wrote quite an in teresting article for the Oregoninn Inst week, in regard to tnkintr horses to the Klondike Instead of reindeer. Our cay uses are much hardier than reindeer, and much cheaper. John Morman, who died at The Dalles Inst week, was a good, whole-souled hon est man and was his worst enemy to himself. He resided in Gilliam countv ; for the last 18 years. Boys this is a sad ending, and shows what whiskey will do for a man. Better quit it forever. The Olex Unity Literary Society is booming. Every Thursday evening it meets, and has alsmt thirty memlsrs. Mr E L Cables rendered some good rnn sie at the last meeting, playing the organ and harmonica at same time. Jess Ol Iewis is hilled for an oration and von all must come and hear it; also Dr M 8 Fleming, who will speak and sing in different languages. Zeb Huskies will appear in the near future.
