A Vancouver widow with twenty-one children, is advertising for a husband. There is great virtue in printer's ink; it has brought fortunes to both men and women; but we don't believe a double oolumn advertisement inserted ne?t to reading matter every day for six mouths would bring a husband to a widow with twenty-one children unless the latter are kept in the background, or under ground, or somewhere. We dislike to go b;u.k on advertising, but thet lino m ist be drawn somewhere. The Dalles Mountaineer says: Com plaints are made bv stckmeu that their cattle are being sjit by ranohers. Ir. Jos.

I'rmcville or that auction of country is supported to be their objective point. They were both to be hunt, and will of courno resort to any desperate act to maintain their freedom. Stockmen aud ranchers, especially those between Heppner and Lone Rock, had hotter keep their eyes peeled, and see that they are not added to the list or victims. Elfus is light-complected, weighs about 140, and speaks with a broken German accent. Owenby has dark-brown hair and weighs about I'M. Painful Picture. A Chicago dispatch says: Great ex citement has been caused by a horrible state of nlT.iii-s at the Workincr Woman's Industrial Homo iu the BubufifSffffalfffJ? of Lagrango. According to the officers who visited the place, all the ohiidren were covered with vermin. Their beds were both filthy and insufficiently warm The food consisted of nothing but mush, bread, potatoes aud oold water served up in small doses; the windows lacked panes, so that the snow would drift into the room where the half-starved children were huddled together with every gvist of wind. The two stoves winch were supposed to heat the Uoor hardly had a handful of ooal in them both. Mrs. Anna Schock, the matron, has been ar rested. She bus been living in lux ury in Chicago, and getting rich ou the money subscribed to feed poor ohiidren. Fall of a Hall. The new city ball at Echo, built at a cost of $2500, fell in nnd became a total wreck on Christmas Day. A ball and supper had been held in it the night bo fore, and just before it collapsed a num ber of ladies were in it, clearing up the tables. An old man who was present warned them to leave the unsafe build ing, but they thought there was no danger. When he left, however, the ladies followed, and they had hardly got out when the whole business went down with a oraeh. Th ruins took fire from the stove, but the tiameg were ex tinguished before they had gained any headway. The enterprise of Echo's oiti Eens will cause another hall to be built, and it is hoped it will be more substan tial than the first structure. We Cop p. The WaiUlrarg Times says: We saw a squash in town Tuesday. The owner did not know how lar,'e it was or how much it weighed, but tho indenture in the (refund where it grew is now a large pond, und sportsmen are hunting ducks there. The vine on whioh the squaih grew also produced four others, two of wliioh were larger thau tue one exhib ited. These were fed to the cattle, sus taining forty head seventeen daya. The method of cooking was simple enough- chopped a hole m one side, set in a large stove, limit a tire, aud away sue weutl Oregon papers please oopy. The Noblest Work of God. Tony Tubus, thj owner of the site the new city ot t7eur u Alene, was in business at Umatilla some years since, where he was burned out. and a number of Portland merchants entered their ac counts against kim on theedebtor side of "profit and loss. But now he has made a big thing out of the sale of town lofc, and has paid up in full all his old cred itors, one of whom preseuted him with a Sir0 watch and chain in appreciation of his honestr.

Having ooncluded our labors for it present term we beg to be discharged. The annexed document signed byte foreman of the grand jury is respeotfuli made a part of this report. Dated at Pendleton, Deo. 24. 1883. J. L. Monisow Foreman of the Grand Jur, We beg leave to further submit tht we have to some extent examined iito f the workings of the County poor fam. We are of the opinion that said fam was purchased at a price much in oxoisn of its real value for any purpose, aid that as a matter of economy, in the c.se of county charges, it is au entire failue. It location beine far from anv centnl taken thereto, as in case of Bennett Ood and if taken there the expense of a ysioian to make visits from a distaine of twenty miles is an unnecessary aid unjust burden on the tax-payers. Me very muoh disapprove of the practice rf employing resident physicians of Pel dlyton to make special visits to said farn iu case of sickues', and recommend t bit the ooutract for treating the oounty sid be let to the lowest responsible bidder, as first intended. We further earuosty reo'imou 1 that said farm be sold witl- out unnecessary delay, aud the proceoJs applied to the purchase and the unprov?. ment of a traot not exceeding 10 acra and not further than three mile3 fron the oounty seat. Datod at Pendleton, Or., Deo. 2t, 188!. J. L. Mohkow, Foreman of the Grand Jur. A tXew Field. A correspondent of the Pendleton Tribune writes: We have been ou the wing, our object being to take a look t the Willow creek and Bock oreek coun tries, and if we mo not much mistaken there will he many thousand acres of wheat added to Umatilla county's great wheat field next yeiir. We triiveled thi-ooKh wbnt is onllod Jiutter Oreek h lat, but just how large this lint is we oould not asoertain. It is several miles wide, and is . level and smooth land, dotted quite plentifully with new houses, some breaking, and some fields of this year's harvest with fine looking stubble. We are not prepared to say that all this vast tract is good wheat land, but did not see anything to condemn it. We were shown a contemplated town-sits, near Juniper, and think the location a good one, as it will be quite a distanoe from any trading point. From Echo to Willow creek the country is nearly level, and at no distant day there will certain ly be a railroad through to the John Day river there will be a road needed, and iEit will be easily constructed, therefore we say there will be one. New arrivals every day looking for land. There is plenty of room for settlers by going a short distance south or west. It is like the discovery of a new Eldorado, aud yon oannot see all of this country in lens than fifteen or twenty days. A Iead Mint. Over on Alder oreek, across the Co lumbia from Castle Kock, Perry liuther forJ has a band of sheep. They are herded by a gentleman from Germany named French Pete. Cayotes have been rather too numerous on that range, so Pete got a big six-shooter to exterminate them.. Not having much confidence in Petes shooting, Perry put out some strychnine, whioh has laid out many a gaunt sheep-killer. Whenever Pete sees a coyote within a mile of him he blazes awav in that direction. And now when he finds a strychnine-killed ooyote lying around he takes all the credit to himself and says: "When I shoot, the cayote goes oif and dies, and I fcnd him epretty soon next day. 1 did not know 1 win such a good shoot." He couldn't tit the water in the Columbia river where the stream is a mile wide. In.DixtrciN. moved in laat fall, took up land, 8iw oommenced to make a home. But that dread disease, consumption, contracted in another climate, overtook the father, and his disability has rendered the fam ily destitute. Mr. J. W. Bedford has circulated a subscription paper for their relief, and the people of Heppner, they always do in such oases, have responded very liberally. O Ahead. siBflSnner Hill A Webfoot paper snvs: "Mr. John nley, a HilUboru farmer, has harvest '210 hushels of turnips from a half atiie of land after feeding several wagon loads to hia hogs and cows.
