On the evening of the 18th, Mr.. T. D.
French, sheep raiser living near Heppner,
UmatilIa county, was shot aud killed by a
sheep herler named Murphy. the only
cause Tor the mHrdcr was that deceased
had sent word to the owner of the sheep
Aertled by Murphy, that said animals were
allowed TO get into his wheat field, and
JesIring that they be kept away. Snyder,
owner oftlIe sheep, sent party named
Anderson, on the day of the murder, to
see Murphy in regard to the matter.
When he received the message, Murphy.
who had been drinking, was enraged, and
upon deceased's approach seized him by
the collar with his LEFT hand and with his
right drew pistol, placing it nearly
against his temple and fired. Murphy had
not been found at last accounts. but it was
thought he would be, and then it would

In Congress political plot ing seems TO
have given place to some extent to the
hard work Of the session, and its accumu-
lated bills are piled high, while the regu-
lar appropriations force themselves upon
the attention of the members. Oregon is
looking forward to the passage of bill
that will insure the payment of the river
and harbor appropriations Jimly promised,
hoping almost against hope that they were
not reported merely Sor political effect.

delegation. With Slater's influence SO

to Oregon's interests in the United States

"A Curious Lake.

The density Of the water of Lake
Mono is remarkable, being just the
reverse of that of Lake Tahoe, in which
the body of a drowned person never.
returns to the surface. For bitterness
and promiscuous meanness the waters of
this lake s1rpass those OF the. Dead Sea.
They contain so much alkali that on
windy day the lake is q regular tub of
soap-suds. The writer he's seen wall
of lather five feet thick along the whole
of that shore against which the waves
were beating. Occasionally the waves
would take up bunch Of this lather as
big as q bushel basket and carry it
several hundred feet inland. So buoyant
are the waters of the lake that quite a
party OF men may navigate them on
raft made Of four or five dry cottonwood
poles. Out in the lake are islands Of
rock Qava-like concretions), through
which springs of water boil up. The
water Of these springs is like that Of the
lake, and at q point where there are
eight or ten feet of water, it is a sort
Of fountain. A column Of fresh water
some three feet in diameter is projected
upward with such force that it rises to a
height of at least two feet above the
general level of the lake in the form of a
mound or knoll, and makes q ripping
noise that can be heard considerable
distance. But for the fact that this
fountain has depth Of eight Or ten feet
OF water to contend against. it would
probably rise to a considerable height in
the air. San Francisco Chronicle.

Dense Population of Africa.

Although we have not, nor are we
likely to have for years, any accurate
statistics of the population of the in
terror Of Africa, there is very little doubt
that we have greatly moderated it.
Much important information has lately
been gathered on the subject, especially
concerning the distribution and density
of that far-off land. In the great lake
district, for instance, there are terri
tories as thickly settled as many Eu-
ropean states, relatively small areas
possessing millions of people, The negro
regions are by far the most populous,
while the desert portions are the re-
verse. A French geographical society
gives the estimated figures of various
subdivisions of that continent as fol-
lows: In the Soudan the population is
$4,000, 900, OR about fifty three persons
to the square mile. The town Of Bida.
on the Niger, for example, contains fully
10000 inhabitants. East Africa is rated
at 30,O0O,000, and equatorial Africa at
some 4O,O00,000 souls. A late authority
on ethnology sets the negroes as numer-
ically 130,000,000; the Hamites, 3d.
100000; the Bantas, $4,000, 600; the
Foolah, 100000; the Nubians, 1,5OO,-
600; the Hottentots, $4,000, making a
total Of 172, $500 These figures
only approximate, of course are con-
sidered too low by both German and
British geographers, the former est
mating the population as high as 200,
DOC, 900.
