' Know tell on the mountains between Ochoco ami bummlt prairia last Tues- Considerable grain that 'as lying in bundles on the ground baa begun to aprout and will be ruined. iEspeoially is this the eaee on Willow creek. This week.briefs were printed at this office, in the case of Belknap A Bona vs. C. M. aud Mamie Charlton, ap pealed froniitbe circuit court of Crook county to tbejsupreme court. M. N. Gird, well known here, has just been released from the penlten .tiary, he having served hia full term. He was Bent up from Multnemali county for assault with a dangerous weapon, Joe KaniUH left feast Saturday for Warm Spring reservation to take charge of the goverumeut saw mill at that place. Joe, besides being an in dustrious and worthy jxiung man, is a first-class sawyer, and will be a com petent foreman in Uncle Sam's mills. Some of the sheep men report their Hocks that have been in themountalns in rather bad condition. But the grass ca the open range is fine, and sheep Will have plenty of time to fatten after being brought out of the mountains before severe weather begins, Jerry Winters, who left here with 23 bead of horses for the eastern market two weeks ago, was in the railroad wreck on the 12th, and ten of his horses were killed. The wreck was caused by a large rock rolling ou the track and displacing the rails. George Cline has just returned from The Dalles, and says Mr. Winters is at that place trying to effect a settlement with the railroad company. The horses which were not killed were badly in jured, and none will be fit to put upon the market, hence he will bring them back to his ranch. Circuit court will convene here on October 16th, and from present appear ances it will not bike more than three days for the court to dispose of all busi ness that will come before it The fact is, mor.ey is so scarce that creditors cannot afford to undertake to force col lections, hence they keep out of court, rather preferring to chance debtors getting tired of being dunned and set tling of their own accord. Crook county has at last had a fail ure. H. H. Clow, who started a saw mill in the extreme north end of the county about a year ago, recently turned the mill over to Phil Brogan, who held a mortgage on the property. Other creditors, who have claims against bim amounting to some 91400, can't find any property to satisfy their claims. Clow, having nothing but bis reputation, left utter giving up the mill.

Kx. The Eugene Journal tells the follow ing. A primitive outfit passed our office Tuesday afternoon, consisting of a low-wheeled wagon without a cover, containing a few boxes and some rolls of bedding laid on hoards, with a young woman and four small children perched up among the bedding. It was drawn by a yoke of oxen, and a young man walked in front and led the near ox with a rope fastened ton ring in the nose. Tbe woman got out in the mud to hold the ox in the street while the man purchased some feed, and the children then got out and were all barefooted and bare legged up to their knees. They started off walking, the woman carrying the gun and the man leading the ox, Language of the Umbrella. xA.li umbrella carried over a w oman, the man getting nothing but the drip pings of the rain, Indioites courtship. When the order of livings Is reversed and the man Iisb the umbrella and the woman the drippings, it Indicates that they are married. Tq trail your umbrella along the ground means that the sunn behind you ls thirsting foryour blood. To carry It at right migles under your arm, signifies thataneye may be lost by the unfortunate person who jnay be behind you. To press au umbrella on yeur friend, saying,- "Oh do take It; I would much rather you would than not," signifies lying- To jive, a friend half of your umbrol 1s, signifies that both of you jnl get wet To place cotton umbrella alongside of A silk one, signifies, "exchange is no robbery.' To lend an umbrella Indicates that you are a fool. To return an umbrella means well, never mind what it means; nobody ever does It. Ex. A formal sale .of the Oregon Pacific is being arranged for about Dec. 1st, the object being to determine the rela tive rights of tile different creditors. Several things Indicate action on the road. People say die recent trip of the Union Pacific special Indicated some thing; but then special trips are becom ing cliestnutty. It is vow learned, says an exchange, that a aurveying party has just arrived at The Dalles after a seven-weeks' trip through Eastern Ore gon, their object being to fl nd a feasible route for a railroad front that point through the interior to the line of the O. P. iu Lake county. Just who is behind the project it is impossible at present to state, but officials of both the Northern Pacific and Union Pa cific in this city disclaim any connec tion with the enterprise. The survey ors followed the Lieutenant Norton survey from The Dalles to the Des titutes, which was found to be the most difficult part of the proposed road, but the average grade will not exceed 50 feet to the mile. Striking that river at the agency ferry, they followed up the stream to the mouth of Crooked river, a distauce of twenty miles. From this point they went to Prine vllle, in Crook county, 45 miles dis tant. The first twenty miles has no grade to exceed 50 feet, and from that distance to tho town mentioned the land Is comparatively level. Alter leaving Prineville they found the ground much more feasible for a rail road. At the head of Silver creek, 125 miles from Prineville, they reached the surveyed route of the Oregon Pa cific, and for the entire distance the grade would be very light. This creek spreads out, aud down It would be a natural roadbed. The other night a young man was returning home from Albany by the road across the river when he was stopped and required to answer several questions. Not knowing what he came up against, he felt himself iu an uncomfortable position, aud would have probably handed over his loose cbange bad the demand been made. However, it turned out to be a joke of some boys coon-hunting, who were partially acting the roll of highway men. They had their guns, and did not use chaste language to the traveler, but after sonic little time told bim to drive on. These boys or young men had better let such joking alone, or they might get themselves into serious trouble, as a man traveling along the road at night is not supposed to know whether lit is being held up for sport or not, and he might shoot. Besides It Is a criminal act. Corvallls News. Much has been said the past yeur about river transportation to Eugene. We are now reliably informed that ub soon as the government' snag boat makes the trip to demonstrate that the channel is clear, as it was early In the summer, the Oregon Pacific steamer Three Sisters will come up immedi ately. And even if the snag boat does not come, the O. P. boat will, but must wait for some safe assuranje of enough water to enable it to pass one or two short bends in the river between hero and Harrisburg. Enough freight bus commenced to move to Justify the company running the boat between Salem and Harrisburg the coming week. Guard. Rev. C. M. Hill, state missionary, will preach at the Baptist church next Sabbath at 11 a.m. Beginning at 7 p.

C.AInsworlh, of Oakland, Cal., In w h lob he ancepts the invitation to represent the state of Oregon.at the launching of the United States ship Oregon at San tfYanolsco on the,' 27th of October. It was the governor's privilege to name the young lady to '.break a bottle of wine over the bow of tlte big new cruiser as she glides from the ways. Miss Atnswnrth was born in Oregon, wherever father was prominently identified with large business, t nter prises, especially with Columbia boating, and the young lady will fittingly represent this -commonwealth. Ex. Twenty-four hundred bottles-of beer that had a'few days before been seized from a cellar Aa the town of Downs were cracked. at Osborne, In northwest Kansas, one-day lost week, in the pres ence of a thousand people, and the contents poured Into a ravine. The vol ume of liquid: flowed sorre distance be fore it was dried by the parched. earth. This prohibited liquor was the .prop erty of Tim McCarthy, who had foi months been ruiming a wholesale sup ply house for riixrthwesteru Kansas, While the destruction of the beer was going on old topers stood by deploring the waste of liquor, while hundreds of men aud women shouted amens as.ttie sheriff and his deputies broke the hot lies. McCarthy, who the day before bad been convicted on thirteen counts, fined $1800 and sentenced to thirteen months in the county jail, sat in the window of his cell and witnessed tlx demonstration outside, burling anatlt emas on the state temperance union. -Ex.
