us baok a whole decade to the

Missing Mointitre.
This has been a dry season in Easters
Oregon, and it has retarded prosperity,
but the outlook for the agriculturist in
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and the southern
part of Miohigau and Wisconsin is
gloomy in the extreme. These localities
have been for months subject to a visi
tation of drouth for which a parallel can
not be found in many years. Imriug
tho past few weeks this state of things
has been intensified in the district men
tioned, and much injury to growing crops
has resulted. The destruction is not
uniform though. Where crops were
planted late in the season, the owners
will probably not realize the cost of
planting. Of necessary feed for live
stock there will be an appalling dearth,
and prices of milk, meat, butter, cheese
and other farm products may be export
ed to rise to an unpreceded height. The
effect for a year to come will be felt in
all quarters, in trade aud business, as
well as in agricultural districts. The
railroads win leel it; the grain will not
be there to ship, neither will fattened
stock be there to haul to the central mar
kets. Already farmers are disposing of
herds of half fattened swine, and even
horses aud oows are being disposed of at
25 per oent of their ordinary value. A
large burdea will fall upon the shoulders
of the people next year.

FIKE AND WATER.
Lot not the geod people of Hep

fire aud water questions are settled.
They are important issues, and will con
tinue to intrude themselves until they
are settled in some way. JJieie ques
tions should be fully discussed from all
points of tho oompaus, all parties keep-
mg iu view the bald-headed, common
sense fact that something should be
dono and some course marked out to in
sure the safety ef the town. The fire
fiend shows n mercy when he does
oomo, but a good supply of water and
lire apparatus toud to make hira a little
less of a ruthless destroyer. If a full
estsupply of running water for all purposes
cannot be had, let the matter of dlggiug

Tho question of giving the John Day

rect road to Ileppner, and at the same
time opening up to settlement theexten
sive scope of country iu the southeastern
part of Morrow county, is getting into
proper eliape to soon beoume a reality.
It will dijfelop much territory that is
novild and unused, will create a great
ileal of taxable pnierty, will furnish
homes for many people, and will be pro
ductive of good all around. The Hepp
ner board of trade is now giving the
matter its proper attention, aud the
county court will take action aj,its next

Men, the anguished entreaties of thosf
whose death seemed certain unless tht
terrible blaze eould be extinguished, and
the cries of those too badly hurt to careS
in what manner tho end were brought
about the sooner they were out of pain,
was touching. Many of them dng xi
the earth with their hands, reckless ol
the blood streaming out from their bro

mounds, while all the time came the
heartrending cries: "for (rod's sake don't

victory was won.
THE FIIIE WAS PFT OUT
After four hours of endeavor and as itf
last spark died away a light oame up in

on a scene of horror. V hile the tight

and there were uot so many wouuded to
take out of the wreck as'there had been
four hours before. Iu the meniitimi
tho oountry had been aroused. Help
had come from vhatsworta, iorest and

alongside of each other out in the corn
field there wero ready hands to take
them to Chat-sworth, while some of the
wounded wero takeu to Piper City.

Was the awful pile of the doad, while
the wouuded numbers four yhwa that
number. The full n timber of the dead
can't be told for days. The town of
Chatsworth whs turned into a morgue.
The towu hall, the engine house and de
pot were all full of dead bodies, while
every house iu tha little village had its
quota of the wounded. There were over
100 corpses lying in the extemporized
dead house. Every man and womau
wore turned into amateur but zealous
nurses. Over in the lumber yard the

A San Francisco dispatch of tho 11th
says: An explosion oourred at tht
works of the Jilukely Giant Powdei
company, located in West Berkeley, op
posite this city, at 1:45 this afternoon.
The shock was of such force ns to severe
ly shake all the large buddings of the
Jity, and to oronto an impresniou that an
earthquake had occurred. The tirtit re
port from tho scene of tha explosion
stated that thirty chinimen employed
about the works hftd b:en killed. As an
illustration of tho foroo of the explosion
it is only Deeessary to mention that
windows were shattered along the entire
battery front of this city, with interven
ing spaces of six miles from the scone ol
the explosion across tho bay. A number
of large panes of glass were broken in
business blocks five blocks from thewat
er front, and the budi;g themselves
were sharply rockod. A seooud explos
ion occurred a few moments after the
first one, caused, as it is supposed, by
the explosion of tho storage house ad
ioiuiug the powder works proper The
foree of the explosion was such as to
destroy temporarily all telegraphic com
munication with the city.

and walked along with D. M. Gu!t, who
wIJi behind with a loud of bBy. At this
point a fire on the steep hillside was
burning amoug the trees, brush and fall
en logs for the purposo of cleaning the
land. Suddenly and without warning, a
burning tree toppled over and fell in
front of the wagon containing the chil
dren, aud a large limb fell among them,
seriously injuring two of the ooenpnuts
of the wagon. Herbert Humphrey, on
lad of 11 years, was strj,fi across' the

He was unconscious for several hours.

eral complaint of timlier seeds not com
ing up this season: trees will no in de
ma'id. Nothing much can be done with
hay as long as the heavy wind blows, and
