Wiif.uk Was the Joke. A friend of Jurs in Albany, who has a baby about the mme age as little "Suey," the Chinese baby It Jim Westfall's, thought it would be a jood joke to purchase a picture of the lat ;er from Crawford's gallery, label it "our iiaby" and forward it without comment to Eastern friends. In due course came a Id ler acknowledging the receipt of the photo, with the statement that the relatives and friends were delighted to receive the same, ind all to whom it was submitted thought iiat "whilst the costume was a little too much on the wild western style, the baby looked very much like its father." The joke was such a good one on our friend ;hat he could not resist to tell it on himself. New OrFii Bits.

Mr. John A. Brown, a well-known gardener who resides near the Warm Springs Agency, presented this office with a twig from an apple tree this week bearing fresh blooms and young ap ples as large as cherries. The tree from which the branch was cut has borne one crop of matured apples this year, and is evidently doing all in its power to produce a second one. People who are wont to be lieve in "signs" say that a phenomenon of this nature indicates war. We can well remember of having such a hypothesis poured into our Incredulous ears when a child. Prinerille Ni-ws. Accident Near Brownsville, The first of the week Foreman J. M. Ilayden, who has charge of the bridge carpenters at work on the narrow gauge road, was struck by a falling brace while filing a saw near the trestle work, and very severely hurt about the shoulders and his forehead badly cut, but it is thought no bones are boken, and will probably be all right again in a few days. It is a very narrow escape for him. Political Drift. The Eugene Regis ter tells the following whopper: "To show the drift of political sentiment in this county, It is said that an old line dem ocrat who never failed to vote solid for his party has agreed to vote for Belva Lock wood in consideration of a handsome pup, given him by a republican,and the old gen tleman felt so good over his bargain that he gave the republican, who is an old sol diery good sized pig to boot." Burglary. The house of Mr. Jacob Wigle at Halsey was entered a few nights ago by a bold burglar, who stole a fine gold watch belonging to Mr. Wigle and seventy cents in money. His visit was made so quietly that no one was awakened and the ourgiary was not discovered until tne next morning. Mr. J. H. Lame.our Informant, says there was no clue to the thief, and no one particularly is suspected. The Libel Case. The case of the State agt. H. P. McGuire, the Silings man, for libel, was called before Justice Humphrey this afternoon. The defendant asked to waive examination, but several witnesses, to wit, Chas. Casey, M. L. Dorris, C. G. uumnart, 11. Lurapman and A. Meyers, were examined. The defendant was held under $503 bonds to await the action of the urand Jury. I CSues for Divorce. Mr. Kinross, form. I erly of Portland, has sued for a divorce I from his wife, drunkenness being the j grounds for the same. We'll wager an old bottle Mrs. K. has more cause to ask for one than her "mashing" husband, who used to be rated the greatest dead beat In Portland. Died.

But ours is not a hopeless case. We have inour state fewer large distillery and and brewery interests to light, than in others where prohibition has been defeated. Our largest city has only thirty-five thousand inhabitants, and the next largest but eight thousand. Forty- touroiour mty-iour counties are already under prohibitory law. If we had one tithe of the aid given other states in their fights for constitutional amendments, we could win.
