This Is a big thing for Baker City. The Ontario Democrat states that the Malheur Oil Company, a Portland ton- oern, now down 1.JQ0 feet and Is mak ing spiewua snowing, in isci, it is ex pected any minute that startling news will be received, and perhaps a gusher will be opened. All the indications point to a flow of high-grade oil from this well In a short time. Manager Cada has gone to Portland, but will return In about a week. Developments can be expected by that time. The first wool of the season has been received at the M. ft 8. warehouse from : prant County, and It makes a handsoms I showing. Tho quality of the wool' is first-class and sdvloes from the country are to the effect that shipments will now ' come In rapidly. Shearing is now going on in most dlstriots and may continue for two or three weeks. Whether there will be a publte auction sale of wool this year, on the Wyoming plan, has not yet been decided, but moat dealers favor the auction system. Where it has been tried, buyers have been compelled to pay bet ter prices, and sellers have had better terms and a much more ready market. An Ashland Boy Meets Death in a Street Car Accident. (Journal Special Service.) ASHLAND, May fL Weed Cline, who left Ashland with . his father, Thomas j Cllne, and other members of the family I about a year ago for Prescott, A. T., was killed In Los Angeles, Cal., last Monday - The news has just reached here through correspondence. After spending several months In Arl- sona the family moved to Los Angeles. There Mr. Cllne and.hls son. Weed, se cured work at carpentering. At the time of his- death Weed was a steady, Indus trious boy, earning 13 a day. On the morning of 'the accident, be started for the Scene of his labor, and In attempting ' to catch a swiftly moving i oar he missed big bold and was thrown In front of tbo car. ,lne wheels passed over the young man, horribly mutilating his body. Death, was almost lntantane- ous. The victim of this terrible accident was well known to Ashland residents. For a number of years the Cllne family resided In Ashland.

Character of the Protesting Re publicans in Uraatillla County. PENDLETON, Or., May l,-To the Editor: It was thought by many that the wave which brought such strength and enthusiasm to our state ticket would spend its force before June 2, but the contrary has proved true. When we look around and see all the rank and file of Democracy lining up, spurred on by more than 600 Republicans (and the best Republican of this county), it is im possible to calculate its force. Among the prominent Republicans In this county we find seven ex-Republt can members of the Oregon Legislature, lawyers. doctors. laborers, grocers. bankers, farmers, millmen and all other classes of the best rank and file boldiy Standing out against the methods used In securing his nomination In the manner employed by the Republican candidate and his boosters. They openly state that the high office of Governor of the great state of Oregon must not be tilled in such a manner, c thus rob-the office of "all dignity. A majority of the voters of this county will not be parties to any such a Job, especially when the opportunity is offered them of casting their votes for a clean, honest, competent man. There is not a day passes that reports from Weston, Athena, Milton, Adams and other parts do not come in of the best men openly bolting ths Republican tick, et, and especially the head of the ticket. - The party lash has nd terrors for tbem. Another very noticeable thing is the die. trust with which the reports of the cam. palgn as given through the Oregonlan are read. The people read Furnish' e speeches with a broad grin. Q. A. HARTMAN. Journal Special Service ) SALEM. May IL Sohlatter. the "divine healer," is In Salem. He made his unex pected appearance on the streets In garb supposed to have been worn in the days of . jesos. His Intention is to look like Jesus, and he does resemble the or dinary pictures of Jesus to' some extent He has long flowing hair, long beard and a full-length gown of purple ana black. He la not approachable; hence his preeence here Is rather mysterious. It is stated by some that his object Is to secure some "healing" grounds to work in. This Schlatter is famous the United States over, and has to his eredlt some wonderful cures. Some years ago a lad In Salem was bedridden. His parents heard of Schlatter, who was then In Col orsdo. and his cures, and sent a hand kerchief belonging to the boy to Schlat- J ter. In due time It was returned with Instructions. The boy uied the- handker chief, and was soon healed at " least th lad's parent claimed so at tbe time. The handkerchief was charged with healing power by Schlatter.. The movements of this eccentric character will be attentive ly watched by the people of Salem, a? much out of. curiosity as Interest In his alleged healing power. -r it mt in vno ra V BICYCLES Are THE BEST WHEELS ON EARTH Made in Chdih, Chainless and Cushion Frame; $23, $30, $33, $40, $30, $60 BUNCH OF NUGGETS Found by a Lucky Pocket Hunter Black Ingratitude in The Famous "OLDSIViOBILE" GASOLINE PLEASURE VEHICLE at Ashland.

Bleylns secured his gold at a depth of ust six Inches below where the other prospector had stopped work. THE DALLES. OREGON CITY. (Journal Special Service.) OREGON CITX. May 21- Twenty-eight bomestead locations have been filed in the local land office to date during the month of May, to say nothing of timber land lo cations, which is a fair average of this sort of business for the past two years. During the same period the receipts from commuted homestead entries and final proofs on timber claims has amounted to about $8,000, and May Is not unusual a lively month for land" locations or final proofs. Fees and comknlsslons are not included In the above amount or money from, other Sources. When the rush for government lands began in the Oregon City district nearly three years ago, and the Northern Paciflo Railway Company located almost 100,000 acres of lieu lands la Tillamook. Linn. Polk' and Clackarniu Counties, it was believed that all the best lands bad been taken, and that business at the land office would soon resume its former status but the rush for lands ronttnue. Not all the homestead locations are being taken by actual home-makers. Oftentimes, It Is .preferable to file a homstead on a desirable piece of timber land, and commute with cash entry six months later. This rush for government lands has resulted in many contests, and land office lawyers are doing a thriving business. The local land Office court la In lesston the greater part of the time, the testimony In each Case being reduced to irhtlng. The Register, and Receiver pass n tho cases, and the opinions are sent to the general land office for approval, ind some times. are appealed to that ody. . s v " .

SALEM, Or., May 2t-The Marlon County taxpayers are feeling Very mucl relieved over the bill put in by the ex parts, who have Just completed a six months' contract of expertina tbe rec ords. The bill was for 1872. Parties ts miuar wun me wora going on esumate the expense would run up to something like $2000. But, while the taxpayers art agreeably relieved, they only repreeeu one and of the affair. At tho other ene the experts have the county officials linec up for pruning. The report baa increaser the temperature around the courthouse No one has boiled over yet, but at time this point Is dangerously near. The cour wrestled with the commute ; and ther with the experts, alternately, The coun appointed the committee to fix the pay for the experts, and It finally decided oi allowing them $5 each per day. After get ting the committee off its hands, th court tackled the experts upon a ques tion of allowing them $5 a day for portion of the time they waited pendln the suit which was brought at the ver beginning of the work by the county of ficials to restrain the report being mad' at that particular time. ' The experts sat the trial out, and after the decision wa favorable to the making of the report, they proceeded with the work. They now ask the county to pay them tho rate fixed by the committee for the time spent waiting for the findings of the Circuit Court, before which the suit was com menced. The committee reported on this Question to the court and recommended that pay be allowed only for the day, actually devoted to the work. The court decided, basing Its decision upon the find ings of the committee. Therefore the ex perts failed to receive the amount claimed while awaiting the result of the trial, and were paid for the time actually engaged In the work. THE DALES. Or., May 21.
