Joseph Ell was elected chief of the Pendleton fire department last, Mon day night. Lots of stock Is heluir (hmrjed from Oregon to the East, which brings con siderable money to this state. B. C. Kilter, sheen Insnector of Benton county, says there are very lew scabby sheep in that county. About 300 head of cattle were shin- ped from the stockyards in Eaker City last weeli, to Uratid Ialand, Neb. Gray & Komp shinned a carload of dried prunes, 26,000 pounds, from trving, Laneoounly, to Taooma, last week. Out on Fifteen-Mile, in Wasco county, the farmers are busy plowing. The ground is in splendid condition, and a very large area is being turned over, A report current 1 j La Grande last week that Alma Miller, the little girl who was lost from her home about a year ago, had been found, turned out to be false.. Prominent men in Heonner sav that they will build a telephone line from Heppuer to Long Creek, in Grant county, if they can arrange for a satis- lactory bonus. A bill against the cltv of Grant's Pass, for $2,000, will be presented by Mrs. bchofleld, who claims . that amount as damages for lniuries re ceived by her in falling from a side- wam. An action iu the courts will probably reBult. Some very old residents 'claim that Rogue river waB up to where the Grant's Pess depot now stands, in 1S02. The river bed has deerjened and widened very much since theu, and there is very little probability that it ever will overflow its left bank agaiu Charles Lillie's barn that was.weH filled with rye hay, burned last ween. in Gilliam county. Mr. Lillie lost three horses, five sets of harness, a saddle aud a buggy all burned by the fire. A span of horses aud a buggy oeiougiug lo another mau was also burned. While leveling off the grounds about the house ou his Blind Slough ranch, in Clatsop, Martin Impo found buried two feet in the earth, au Indian stone wenpou, shaped like a shiD'a inarliu spike, Uaving a hole bored through tne Dandle, wbich had evidently been made by some stone implement, says the Astorian. The experts, who for two months huve been going over the accounts of ex-Sherifl'Osborn, iu Beutou county, have completed their work aud the county court has been apprised of the result. The report has not beeu made public, but the matter will probably come up for settlement at the January term of the county couit. When the Klamath reservation Is tiimwu open for settlement, it is ex pected that several good gold mines will be opened up. Several finds with good prospects ' have been made on ineae Indian lands in the last quarter of a century which are held in se crecy awaiting the time wheu the res ervation will be thrown opeu. At least sueu are Ibe reports one occasion ally hears from those who omrht to k.iow, says the Klamath Republican. Fully 100 men are at work alone the Alderbrook water front cutting wood for their winter's use, eaya. the Astorian. During the recent freshet hundreds of cords of wood, and about 200 shingle bolts from the Cowlitz river were thrown up ou the beach. It was an interesting sight to see these meu cutting huge logs into stove wood lengths, aud rolling them up the beach to their homes. They used a large in strument like a pair of Ice tougs, with which to diug the logs along. The two prisoners in the Josephine county jail seem to be getting along without much excitemeut. Flester still groans and eats very little. The other oue, Mel9on, eats heartily and ri ads all the time. He has become a Bible student since his incarceration and has about read the book througu.

Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report 5 14 Cr Absolutely puke A CLEVER FORGERY, One, Henry C. Briggs, Secures $uoo inrough a Bogus Deed to a Linn County Farm. A case of forgery, which, for its very boldness and the shrewdness of the confidence men who worked it has never had an equal in this state, has just come to light iu this city, says the Albany Herald: Henry C. Briggs was the name given by the man who worked the scheme. He forged a deed to a fine 318 acre farm of Alexander 8. Knox, near Bpicer, and secured a loan on it of $1200 from the Alliance Truat Company, and departed with the money, covering his work so well that his crime was not discovered for sever al months afterwards. Briggs came to Albany in June last, aud stopped at the Russ House. He said that his home was in Iowa, that he owned land in California and he was about to trade his property in Santa Clara county for the Kuox farm. He also said that two of his brothers intended to purchase farms in Linn county in the near future. He was accordingly treated kindlv hv real estate men, and was driven about the country, past many desirable farms, in an easy carriaee. He visited the Knox farm several times, talked witn the renter, S. F. Doughton, and nouired of Recorder Hardman as to the value, its soil and surroundings. He employed Ihe Albany Abstract Company to make an abstract of title to tne land and paid for it. He ap- peared like a careful buyer and want- c h vn.viu. ujw suu wauir ed everything straight. He went to C. G. Burknart, agent for the Alliance Trnst Co., limit d, and said he had traded for the land and wanted to bur row $1200, giving a mortgaee'as securi ty. As the farm is worth $8,000 or $10,000, the company was glad enough to make the loan. On July 18, be made an application for the loan, aud produced a deed duly signed by Mary A. S. Knox and Alexander 8, Knox, who reside in Sun Jos?, Col. The in strument was witnessed by Georgo W. Taylor aud F. P. Black, aud wns acknowledged by E. A. Clark, notary public, in Santa Clara county. It appeared- perfectly regular, except the scroll that should accompauy the sig natures was omitted. The deed was returned, presumably to Mr. Kuox in California, for correction, but iu re ality it was no doubt f"ut to a con federate at Mr. Kuox's home, who was watching things there. The deed was duly returned and recorded. The mortgage was then executed to Ihe loan company on July 20, the $1200 paid to Briggs through the First National;bauk. Briggs had arranged for lumber, aud said he wanted to use the money iu erecting buildings and Improving the farm. He represented himself to be a single man about to be married. He was aged about 37 years, a small man with a dark mustache and was plainly dressed. After securing the $1200 he did not prolong his stay many hours aud has not been heard of since. The fo gery did not become known uutil Mr. Doughton, who lives on the farm, catue to town to find out to whom he should deliver the one-third of the crop us rental. This occasioned carreapondeuce with Mr. Kuox, who wrote to Weatherford & Wvutt. his attorneys, in tiiis city, that he hud not sold the farm, aud that he did not know any Henry Briggs. Au Invest!. gation disolosed the fact that the ex ecution of the deed was a forgery, that the names of the meu whose signa tures appeared on the deed as witnesses were forged, and that no such notary as E. A. Clark resides in Santa Clara county. The alleged signatures of M r. aud Mrs. Knox on the deed do not in tile least resemble their own. The seal of the notary was one made to order for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Kuox happened to bo uway at the sea coast while Briggs was manipulating the bogus sale. The torger undoubtedly knew this, auu took things coolly, remaing here near ly a month. A suit was eomiuenoed Thursday, liflflfif Rsmder by Weatherford & Wyatt, as attorneys for Mr. and Mrs. Knox, against tiie Alliance Trust Co., to set aside the bogus deed, by which 318.75 acres of their good land actually passed out ot their hands without their knowledge or consent. The trust company will lose the $1200 and Mr. and Mrs. Knox will be out the cost of the suit to cor rect the title.
