Oregon fanners will probably profit
Ibis year by the misfortunes of others,
saya the Times Mountaineer. The
shortage In the wheat crop in India
and Australia will cause prices to
range high here next fall; the heavy
Lies of stock In the Dakotas, Montana
and Wyoming, will cause advance
prices for beef and mutton to prevail,
and the damage that was done fruit
trees by the November freeze In the
sections to (lie east, will make fruit In
demand. All Ibese things combined,
while they are misfortunes to others,
will be beneficial lo the people of this
section.

Attempted Robbery.
P. V. Hickok, the S. P. Co.'s depot
agent at this place, was greatly sur
prised yesterday morning when he
opened the di pot, to find cement scat
tered all over bis office. However, he
was not long in finding the cause. Dur
ing the nlgbt robbers bad entered by
breaking out a window glass, and had
attempted to blow open the company's
safe with dynamite. Tbe robbers bad
drilled through the outer casing of the
safe door, and putting In a charge of
dynamite, blew the outer casing open,
atao blowing out a lot of the cement.
Tbey then attempted to drill through
the Inner casing, but either it was too
hard or they did not have time.
Nighi-watcbman Carroll said he
beard some one walking around out
there between one or two o'clock in
the morning, but thought It was only
bys, and did not pay any attention to
Very few persons heard the explo
sion and those who did hear it thought
nothing of It, as tbe sound was Indis
tinct, aud therefore the attempted
robbery was not discovered until the
next morning.
The safe door is probably ruined, but
otherwise tbe safe is not damaged.
Mr. Hickok says the robbers would
not have secured over $50 or $60 If they
had succeeded In opening the safe.
Tbe safe was shipped to Portland
yesterday evening.
The work was undoubtedly done by
inexperienced men, and they probably
live right here io Lebanon.
There is no clue as to who tbe guilty
parties are.
The robbers used an ax and crowbar
that was kept at the depot. They left
an old brace and chisel, which upon
inquiry by Marshal Carroll, was found
to have bi en taken from R. H. Bode's
wheelwright shop. Tbe other tools
used by tbe robbers were taken away
by them.
The Writer "Croaks" to Some Purpose.
In the north end of town, lying on
both sides of Main street, Is a region
paralleled by few other spots on the
face of the Willamette valley. There,
if the phraseology may be pardoned, la
a place instinct with death. A huge
basin, whose rim is enclosed by a beau
tiful valley on one side and ancient
hills on the other, is stricken with bac
teria ot death; whose treeless and al
most shrubless bosom is blasted with a
green scum containing ague, chills,
typhoid and all kinds of malaria Imag
inable; yes, and even the germs of tbat
ever dread disease, diphtheria, of
which our town baa just bad a siege.
Situated as It Is almost In the very
heart of our beautiful little town, with
mountain peaks tbat tower hundreds
of feet above It, as pure as nature can
make them, it is a very "Gehenna" a
place of death and bones. Birds and
animals hardly dare come near It.
Vegetation that even goats will not
eat grows in and arouud it undis
turbed. The hot sun adds tn its fury;
rouses Its Ire as an angry beast; then
sweeps oyer our little town seeking
whom it may devour. Sometimes a
cloud hovers over, then the trogs cease
to croak, or a boy throws a pebble into
the soft green scum, and It sinks almost
to a fathomless abyss. Soon all is
quiet, the clouds again scatter, the
little frogs venture to the surface; a
faint sound is heard, a low rumbling
as if in the far distance; a warning sigb
on tbe wind; the earth almost trembles,
a leap into the pond; a splash half
water, half mud and scum; away go
germs of bacteria to find lodgement in
the corpuscles of our fellow man. Soon
we hear of ague, typhoid fever, etc.,
aud all because our town council would
rather see such diseases carry off a
dozen or two of our citizens than ven
ture a few dollars in filling it up or
draining it. Croakek,
In Memory of Jessie B, Allen.
Over the river the boatman pale
Has carried another, the household pet;
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled
hands
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark.
We felt it glide from the silver sands
Aud all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We saw not the angels who met her there,
The gates of the city we could not see;
But we know she is safe on the farther side
Where all the ransomed and angels be.
Over the river, the mystic river,
Darling Jessie is waiting to welcome me.
By oke who loved hbb.
