Tongue's election Tuesday evening by giving a concert and firing anvils, all the while shouting "Tongue." The Albany creamery, on Friday, had to return ail 8,000 pound order for butter, already having orders amount lug to 21,000 pounds ahead, all it can fill in the time d.-sired.i Slierifl Holder, of Sherman county, has seeds aplenty, the entire quota for that couutv havinir been sent, tn him by the Hon. W. B. Ellis for distribu, tion. There will be no regatta in Astoria this year. As the sources from which the nioi.ey was formerly raised are crippled by lack of business and sus pension of fishing, Joe Tetherow started from Indepen dence across the mountains to crook county. Hist Monday, witb 100 calve aud yearlings. Eleven of them died about the time of starting. The rank and file of God'u Regular Army shook the dust of Roseburgfmm their feet Friday morning, and left for Grants Pass to the no small delight of the community. "Our gain," Bays the Plaiudealer, "is Grant's Pass1 loss." The mercury at The Dalles registered 42 degrees Wednesday morning, the lowest temperature kuown there an June 10 for many years. At Eight- Mile there was quite a severe frost, cutting down tender vines. Hosea Brown, of Wllderville, Jo sephine county, the oldest pensioner In the United States, being 104 years of age, Is reported to be-failing rapidly. HiB death la expected at any time. He was a resident of Lane county for a number of years. Eight hobos were arrested near Eu gene Wednesday, charged with having committed a crime against nature upon a boy who had been associating with them. The grand jury of Lane county Is at work upon the case, and a num ber pf witnesses have been examined. Since the waters of the John Day have receded it is found that the dam age to the Can j on creek county road by reason of washouts Is Incalculable. Much work and plenty of dynamite will be required to make the grades passable. For Justice of the peace in Bridgeport precinct, Polk county, the vote be tween Stewart Montgomery and A. N. Robinson was a tie. On Wednesday, they went before County Clerk Mulkey and drew lots publicly. Robinson was the successful candidate. Thomas Thompson, of Pendleton, deputy Btute Veterinarian, has al ready killed 160 cayuses, whhh are affected with mange, and be Is going to kill a great many more, unless the owners perform the work. The ani mals are driven into rocky canyons and there shot. -- The Corvallis Times says that 106 Bileli Indians all voled for T. H. Tongue for congressman, and to this fact his election Is due. There w-ere 121 votes in Si lets precinct, Lincoln county, 106 Indians and 15 whites. Thus lo! the poor Indian, at a jump stands out as a full-fledged gold-bug, says the Albany Democrat. Rlgby & Son, farmers on the Uma tilla reservation, are at work ou a canal which will be .utilised in carrying water from the Umatilla river, near the Indian agency, to the lauds on the Yaten-eo-u-itzplaoe.' These lands have been leased by the Rigby firm, aud will be Irrigated, about 800 acres being put under water. Alfalfa Is being sown on a portion of the laud, Three prairie schooners passed through Eugene Wednesday. Ou the side of one of tliem was the Inscription "Everett, Wash., April 26, 1806. Back to ivisi wa o," noiuer ou tui, "Texas, home, sweet home." The wagons were drawn by horses with the sign "Oats wanted within," plain ly evident, and the entire outfit did not have the appearance of Very much thrift. Ten or fifteen of theae outfits have passed through Eugene In the last three days. Hngh Glen, of the Dalles, has been awarded a contract on the Astoria rail road to do 47 miles of clearing, grading, rlprapplng, tunneling and rock Work between Goble and a point 10 miles east of Astoria. The work is: to be finished within a year, and will require a force of 2000 men, besides a large amount of machinery, dredgers, graders, etc. The Umatilla county grand jury cautioned justices of the peace against issuing warrants for the arrest of per sons charged witb petty offenses, un less the judge should be satisfied that the evJdenoe is sufflcleut to convict, or that the accused is attempting to leave the county or state. A fruit-tree agent had rather a pecul iar accident last tiaturday at M. E. Potter's place, in Sherman county. He was bitching his horse' into a iMrt, when a heavy gust of wind blew a beaderbed over on them. He was not In the least hurt, but the horse suffered from severe fracture of the skull over the eye. Fleeter, the wife murderer, is costing the county of Josephine (19 a week, and there is no tolling when this ex pense will stop, as the defense seems to have tired immediately after moving for an appeal, and the supreme court is in no hurry to take the case up without the transcript, says the Grants Pass Courier. A young man named McMahou is now employed as nurse, at a salary of (14 a week, aud Fiester's board costs fo besides. Doses of mor phine are administered nightly and a tri weekly dose of salts is prescribed by the physician. The Toledo Leader says that James Booth was elected just ice of the peace of Taquina precinct at the recent election, but he has not yet got the office. T. W. Gorman has filed a pro- tot with County Clerk Jones, sotting forth In the nature of an affidavit, that Mr. Booth was not a citizen of the United. States. Mr. Booth will have to allow bis citizenship papers, or declare that lie was a natural-born citizen of this great Republic. Mr. Booth has been voting for years, aud has held offices of profit aud honor, among which was the postoflice at Yaquina, At Union, the other day, Judge Lowell sentenced James Robbius to 35 years In the Salem peniienllary for rape. Robbius at first plead not guilty, but, when the special venire of jury men and all the witnesses had been gathered, aud tbe case was ready for trial, Robbius changed his plea lo one of guilty, and took sentence. Last spring, at Baker City, Judge Eakln sentenced a man for the same crime to years in the penitentiary. In that case the prisoner stood trial, aud the sentenoe, as usual, was more severe than when a plea of guilty is entered. Bobbins is 42 years of age. Should he serve his sentence out, he will be 77 years old when liberated. Our Climate. Occasionally we hear people com plain of our rainy weather, and one sometimes would think to hear some talk that we had nothing else but rain aud mud here. This is a long ways from the fact. Figures speak aud they Bpeak well for this part of the world. The average number of clear days In Linn county is 118, partly cloudy 105, a total of 223 fine days; cloudy 142; those on which .01 inch or more of rain falls 119. That is, we have 246 days In a year witb practically no rain. This Is the average for a good many years aud is the fact and not an im pression received after a siege of wet days. Our average rainfall is 44.94 inches and we need that much. Any country does. If it doesn't get it look eut for crop failures every three or four years. In comparison wilh tbe figures given it ralua on 127 days at N. Y. City, on 134 at Boston, 165 at Rochester, N. Y , 148 at Detroit. Some of the places where It rains- less are Los Augeles, with only 42 days in tbe year, Sacramento, 66; Denver 84. Our average temperature is 52. The lowest is given at 1 and highest 103. The mean temperature of San Antonio, Texas is 68, of Los Augeles 63, of Sac ramento 60. The average yearly sun shine in England, according to recent work by Dr. Van Bebbier on meteor ology and hygiene, is 1400 hours; in Germany, 1700; In Italy, 2300, and In Spain, 3000. London aveiages 23 hours of sunahlne out of a possible 100, and Madrid 66. So we will see that Linu county is pretty well situated in the matter of climate, when tbe actual figarea ar Ivd. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S, Gov't Report MM AD&OLUTELY PURE THE SALMON CANNER3. A Gigantic Combine on the Columbia River on Foot. A gijantlo salmon combine, to take every interest ou the Columbia river into one corporation, and backed by unlimited capital, will very probably be the unloosed for result of the pres ent strike of tbe 3,000 fishermen who want more for fishing than tbe packers claim to be able to pay. The prospects are that the Columbia River Packers' Association, which was formed in Portland last spring, Is to he followtd by a strouger concern a single corporation which shall be so firmly entrenched as to command a vast influence in the salmon Industry, and which will dictate and not be dic tated to. It will be modeled after the Alaska Packing Company, and it will absorb all the big and little Interests, consolidating them into one enormous plant aud do business ou an unprece dented soale. The salmon-packing combine is not undreamed-of possibility by any means and the scheme is ripening for con summation. One or the wealthiest cannerson the Columbia declares that tbe strike has hastened this end. The oannerymeu are being driven into the consolidation for protection of their interests not only from the fishermen, but from tbe mischievous state legisla ture, aud by next autumn it is confi dently believed no matter what bo comes of this year's fishing that the combine will be organized and tbe eomoiidation effected. Tbe plan lias been on foot for some time. The Youngest Members. A Salem correspondent writes to the Oregouian lo inquire "the name and age of the youngest members of the bouse aud senate of Oregon for the past four sessions," Unfortunately, there are no records from which to establish a certain reply. Representa tive Wilkluson, of Lane county was supposed to be the youngest member of the session of 1893. Senator John sou, of Linn county, who was born in 1867, was undoubtedly the youngest senator of the 1895 session, and will likely have the same distinction in in 1897. Representative Jeffrey, the populist "boy orator," was supposed to be the yougest member ot the house of 1895, having been born in 1869, but the "blue book" informs us that Repre sentative George Rinearson was only 24 years old In 1895, so he was the youngest. Representative John Grntke is said to be youngest member-elect of the bouse. He bails from Clatsop county, aud his age is about 23. More Albany Butter, The Albany Creamery had not quite filled their Seattle order for 12,000 lbs. of butter, when another order cuiiio iu from Portland for 16,000 lbs to be de livered just as fast as it can be made. It is probable that this last order is to be placed in cold storage to await higher prices, Whenever a sample lot of Albany butter has been sent, the company have received orders Im mediately, and they have yet to lose a customer on account of the quality of their product, There is not an institu tion on the coast that has a better reputation, and it surprises us that this has been brought about in such a short space ot time.

Baiting Povdsr A HANDSOME MONUMENT, The Finest Piece of Work Yet Seen In dregon. A telegram in Sunday's Oregonian from Sherdiau, Or., dated, June U, says: The children of tbe late P. M. and Sarah E. Scrnggln, of this city, have erected to the memory of their parents, In the family burying ground, near Sheridan, one or the finest monu ments In Oregon, aud perhaps the largest In the state south or Portland. It is a beautiful design, consisting of . three bases, upon which stauds a mas sive die with polished columns and beautifully curved capitals. Over thU is a cap bearing the Masonic emblems. -Upon Ibis-tests tbe pliuth, the whole surmounted by a draped Egyptian urn, with a finely carved reatb of oak and lauiel leaves. Tne monument Is 18 feet high, and the base is six feet square. The whole is of Quincy granite. The late Mr. Scroggin was a well known pioneer citizen of Yamhill county, and was the senior member of the banking firm of Scroggin & Wort mau. The cost of tbe monument was about $2500. It is a beautiful and per fect piece of monumental work. It was erected by the well-known firm of E. W. Atchison & Co., of Albany. Or. Bunco Methods Didn't Work. 'As we ,ioted in a recent issue, some San Francisco commission dealers at tempted to fleece Mr. J. F. Nixon of this place, by bunco methods, out of. H considerable Bum of money and upon failure to do so caused his arrest, and by false representations from them he was held iu heavy bonds to apiiear be fore the grand jury of Lane county. This week the oase came before that grand juiy, with these commission men as presenting witnesses. The facts were brought out witb the result of exonerating Mr. Nixon aud leaving his character as a straightforward business man without a blemish. While this case has been very expen sive aud annoying to Mr. Nixon, it will be of unlimited benefit to Oregon dealers as an object lesson for future business, aud no doubt will be heeded. Harrlsburg Review. Some Difference. About as laughable an incident as we have heard of the last campaign, was of a certain populist aud a friend who went to Albany to hear Coiey, says tbe Solo Press. On the same even ing Hon. M. C. George was speaking at the court house. Our populist came in after the speaking had commenced and as most all public speakings occur at the court house they went there to hear Coxey. After the speaking waa over they remarked Hint they did not like Coxey tor the reason that he talked just like the goldbugs do, and they could nut see wherein he differed from any of tbe gold standard speakers. When they were informed of their mistake, a sort of brimstony scent so our informant stated were perceptible lu the atmosphere.
