1t gives us great pleasure to say that Hon.
James G. Blaine's brief speech of welcome
to the members of the Congress of the three
Americas, at the opening Of their session on
Thursday of last week, was worthy of the
man, the occasion and the great nation
whose representative statesman he is. II
was simple, felicitous, able and dignified.
In short, a model i'm matter and fOrm-just
what such speech, OH such an occasion,
should be.

Speaking of the recent elections in the
new states, Fridays N. Y. Tribune says:
"The republican party has just drawn four
queens, and will inevitably take the pot. 7"
and that ''the atmosphere of the Northwest
doesn't seem to be favorable to the growth
OF the deadly night-shade of BourbOnism.'

Bro. Applegate sends us a copy of the
first issue of the enlarged Adrian Weekly
Times, and it is indeed fine looking sheet,
s column quarto; and it is edited with great
care and ability. The republicans of Lena

ton, and thus make sure of an old time re-
publican victory in that staunch republican
county in November 1890.

Eugene Register
Last Sunday morning Mr.. R. Bushnell,
who resides near Irving, found the body of
a man, which had been nearly eaten up by
hogs, in Mr.. Washburne's field "a short dis
tance south of Irvingl and but few rods
from the railroad track. * The head was
found several feet from the body, it having
been torn off by the hogs. There was a
bullet hole in the forehead, just over the
left eye, and there is no doubt the man was
murdered. About two weeks ago Mr.. S.
r. Chills, who lives near the railroad,
heard couple of men quarreling out Oh the
track about nine o'clock one night and then
heard pistol fired. He went out and
walked up the track but could see nothing
and the matter was soon forgotten. Last
Sunday Mr.. Bushnell found the body few
rods from the place, where it had been
thrown over the fence into the brush. Two
purses were found on the body but there
was no money in either Of them. The vest
pocket also showed plainly that the man
had carried watch but that had been
taken and there Is no doubt that the man
had been murdered and robbed and then
concealed lu the brush. To all appearances
the man was of medium size and about 80

party of John Jacob Astur and came 20
The mouth of the Columbia river, to as

After trapping on the Columbia, Lewis,
Clarke, and Snake and other rivers with
Indifferent success for some time, Mr..
Jones through the Lummi Indians, who
journeyed thence once year to trade
their furs for notions, ETC., heard of the
great inland sea. In 1906 Mr.. Jones and
the small party struck across the country
from the Columbia, and after encounter
ing many hardships, landed on the shores
of the great inland sea, at point where
the city of Olympia now stands. Here
they procured canoes and an Indian
guide and statred for Nooksaak, along
which the Indians said there were mul.
titudcs of beaver. They were quite sue
cessful on the Nooksack. Finally, after
trip up Chucanut creek, which they
found alive with the valuable little ami
mails, they concluded to locate their post.
This was done where a small branch
stream emp,les its waters into the Chuca-
nut. A stone cabin was built at the base
of a bIgh, bold mountain. which served as
a landmark. They remained here two
seasons. and at the end of that time, hav-
ing large supply of furs on hand, it was
necessary for them TO go to Astoria.

Crop weather Bulletin No. &c.

Oregon State Heather Bureau in co-opera-
ton scih U. S. Signal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon. For aceek ending Aug.
81, 1889:
| The temperature has been below the nor
NAL. The night were cool and in the heat
of the day the thermometer ranged from
G5 to 80 degrees. The rainfall has been
about normal. Showers of rain occurred in
Western Oregon on the 26th, 9th, 30th
| and 3lst; in Eastern Oregon in few places
showers were experienced. The condition
of the weather at present seems to presage
an early commencement of the rainy sea-
son. The sunshine has been about Or be-
low the normal. The rains haye cleared
the atmosphere of the smoke in many parts
of the state, and to great extent quenched
the forest fires. These weather conditions
were favorable to the grass, late garden
products and late potatoes.
Farmers in sections are beginning to work
their summer fallow. The hop picking sea-
son has commenced, the rain will retard
this operation. The general outlook is that
there will be only about two-third crop.
but of good quality. At Eugene contracts
for hops at 10 cents per pound are reported.
The wheat output of the section east OF
the Cascades will be about 70 to so per
cent. of the average. 1t is reported that
from Athena more wheat will Oe shipped
than last year. Uuion county will have as
much or more wheat than the average for
shipment. The best wheat of Eastern Ore
gon comes from the section of the country
adjacent to Athena and Milton and from
the Grand Ronde Valley. Western Oregon
has generally good wheat, especially so on
the ''west side" of the Willamette river.
The general average of wheat is poorer In
quality than formerly, showing plainly the
effect of the hot, dry weather. Eastern
states average about Is to 20 bushels OF
wheat per acre. Oregon, in the warmest
and dryest year on record. yields On an
average in western part of state from 35 to
80 bushels per acre; in the Eastern section
from is to % bushel per acre. The oat
crop is not an average. Hay in sections is
plentiful; in others somewhat scarce.
Grapes will be aboat or slightly below an
average in yield, but they are very fine.
The Delaware, Concord, Muscsdine and
Black Hamburg are the varieties that are of
the most value in many sections of fhe
state. The pear crop is good, same for
peaches and plums; they are, however,
slightly smaller in size. The dry weather
and Goblin moth injured the apple crop to
some extent.
There is no change in the condition of the
rivers reported. In sections of Eastern
Oregon many of the springs and creeks are
furnishing goodly supply of water, IN
other sections they are absolutely dry.

Wholesale Suits for the Forfeiture OF
Grants Comprising Millions CT
Acres.

1t is stated that United States District
Attorney L. L. Macarthur has completed
the work of preparing the bills of com.
plaint in the cases brought in the United
States circuit court for the forfeiture OF
various wagon road grants IN this state
He was assisted in this work by Special
| Assistant W. c. Johnson, under direction
of the department of justice. The bills
| are signed by Acting Attorney-GeneralO o.
w. Chapman, United States Attorney
Macarthur and special Assistant Johnson.
There are twenty-one of them, and as
they are very volUminous and include
eight corporations and sixty-eight indlvid-
uals as defendants, the labor of preparing
them has been great, especially as instruc-
tions 10 this end were not received until
July -, and the bills had to be sent TO
the attorney generals office at Washing
ton 10 be revised and signed.
The suits are brought under the provis-
ions of an act of congress approved March
=, 1889, ''providipg in certain cases for
the forfeiture of wagon road grants in the
state OF Oregon"
The defendants in these cases comprise
the following corporations:
The Willamette Valley and Cascade
Mountain wagon road company.
The Willamette Valley and Coast r. X.
company.
The Oregon Pacific r. r. company
The Farmers Loan and Trust company.
The Dalles Military wagon road COM
pany.
The Eastern Oregon Land company.
Tie Oregon Central Military wagon
road company.
The California and Oregon land COM
pany.
A lso 6S individual defendants
1t is alleged that tie roads were not
constructed as required by law, wherefore
it is prayed that all the lands granted to
the state of Oregon by said acts of congress
be decrced forfeit to the United States and
restored TO the public domain, that the
patents, certificates and deeds described
in the bills of complaint be declared
fraudulent and void, and that the United
States have such other and further relief
rs to equity seemeth tit.
Some lively litigation is likely TO follow
this action. In The case of the Lebanon,
or W. G. & c. NJ. wagon road grant, the
road acOSs the mountains was actually
constructed and used for travel, as many
Old citizens testified at the investigation
before ihe commissioners in this city. In
many cases, however, the grants were
fraudu.ently obtained and should be for
feited.

A. NJ, Charles Henry Lufkin, generally
called "Hank" Lufkin, was shot and in
stantly killed by William Kennedy in the
latters saloon-the Broad Gauge--on the
southwest corner of Main and Carbonate
streets. Mr.. Lufkin had been drinking the
night before and was considerably intoxica-
ted, being very abusive as usual when IN
that condition, and quarrelsome. Two pis-
tolls had been taken from him in the course
of the morning and he had bought new
one, loading it with cartridges not suited to
that kind of a pistol. and the cylinder
would not revolve neither would the cart

MIR. Lufkin leaves widow and five child
ren-two married ladies and three sons.
He came to Wood river IN 1881 and has
been engaged IN freighting, stock raising
ana ranchiDg. When he was in his normal
condition he was an agreeable gentleman,
but when under the influence of liquor or in
a fit of rage, he was considered dangerous.
And yet he was an enterprising, industrious
citizen, and an affectionate husband and
father. He invested his earnings in the
country, showing his full faith in the future.
In any position Of trust he discharged his
duties belonging thereto, faithfully and
honestly. Unfortunately at times he failed
to recognize and regard the rights of others.
His too-often- overbearing disposition caused
his death. An hour before he met his
death he took occasion to ul necessarily
