CROOK COUNTY.
Items From Our Neighbortng County,
Gathered From the Ochoco Review.

|
Farmers are still plowing and preparing
ground for next spring seeding.
Twenty inches of snow fell at Sister last
week, but at last reports it was melting
rapidly.
The owners of mines on the head of
Ochoco expect to do considerable work next
spring, as the prospects are favorable for
abundance OF water.
The snow storm of last week reached
pretty well down on the west side os the
Cascades, and to some extent interferes
with work on the Oregon Pacific.
DR.. Gesner went to Mitchell on Sunday
to see Mrs. Lee Bailey, who is sick with
typhoid fever. He says there were two
feet OF snow on the mountain between
Ochoco and Bridge creek.
There is evidently something wrong with
the mail between this place and Lakeview.
1t takes month to get reply to letters di-
rected from this place to Lakeview, dis
tance of only 200 miles.
G. Mcpherson was up from Trout creek
Wednesday. Mac. is grasswidower for
the present, his ramily being in The Dalles
attending school. Mac. says farmers are
busy plowing and seeding in the northern
part of the county.
The Webfoot exchanges are circulating a
report that Eastern Oregon sheep raisers
are dIsposing of their focks in large num-
bers. Wonder where they got their infor-
nation? In this county very few stock
sheep have been sold that were driven out
of the county.
Hiram Longcoy, of the Baldwin Sheep &
Land Co., was over from Bridge creek the
first of the week. Mr.. Longcoy says the
recent snow was beneficial to the Bridge
creek country, the snow having melted off
and given the ground thorough wetting.
Andy Lytle has been riding on the range
recently, and says the ground is wetter than
ne has seen it tor several years. This in
'ures good grass another season, as all that
S needed in this country to make the grass
grow is plenty of moisture.
At a recent meeting of the stockholders
n the Prinevlle bank Henry Hahn was
elected president of that institution, John
Sommerville, the former president, having
resigned. 7. NJ. Baldwin was elected one
If the board of directors to take the place

ITEMS IN BRIEF.
From Saturday Daily.
The weather still continues delightful.

The weather still continues delightful.
Rev. w. G. Simps on was on the streets
to-day, for the first time for several weeks
Mr.. S. B. Adams, who has been sick with
typhoid fever for several weeks past, is
able to be around.
A street fakir, on the corner of Second
and W Washington, was raking in the dimes
What fools us mortals be-
The smallest paper we receive on our ex-
change list is the La Granie Daily Journal
1t is two-column folio, but full of news
1t is not only &C cd lunch and beer IN
bottle and on draught, but the very best
liquors and cigars can be found at the Ger
mania.
A. j. Wall is always fortunate. Last
night at the fair ne won the beautiful An
CORA rug, and what he will do with it is
something that is beyond discernment,
without he uses it in the cage of the spotted
crow.
Mr.. j. II. McDonough won the cow at
the Catholic fair last night. He thinks of
starting dairy, and make milk punches by
the wholesale. Possibly he may turn his
cow into the pasture with Shyster, and 60
into the stock business.
Ellensburgh Register: Ore of the McCor-
mic brothers, who took part in the bloody
atray at Spencer's saloon week ago. is re-
ported to be in precarious condition, and
fears are entertained for his recovery. The
doctor in attendance took number of
pieces of glass from his fractured skull to-
day, and it is thought now that he has
brain fever.
At the entertainment given by the Ladies
Aid Society of the Congregational church,
Thanksgiving evening" Miss Z. w. Grubbs,
gave splendid rendition of "a Railway
Ma tinee." The facility with which the
young lady changes from grave to gay in
defamation shows thorough mastery of
lntonatiors of voice and careful training
She was loudly encored and responded by
"a School-boys Composition on Necks" in
most excellent style. The citizens of TIL.
Dalles may take just pride in this accom-
pllshed elocutionist, as she was reared here,
and is well known to nearly every one. Miss
Grubbs is graduate of the Boston School
of ElocutIon, aud has added to her rare
ability the highest training in the art.
A remarkable escape from death, border |
ing on the miraculous, is reported to have |
occurred at the sawmill short distance |
from Winlock, on the Northern Pa
rif'c few days ago. There is an unpro-
tected shaft on the floor of the mill, revolv-
ng with the rapidity of unclaimed light
nIng. The shaft is about four feet long,
md on each side there is an opening about
zen inches wide. A lady visiting the mill
to get too close to the shaft. Her
lress was caught and, in the twinkling of
IN eve, she was hurled to the floor eight
eet below. What is most remarkable
lhout the occurrence is the fact that the
woman escaped unInjured. One side of h,r
are was slightly scratched, but beyond that
here was not bru,se on her. Every ves-
ige of clothing was torn off excepting her
hoes, stockings and pair of worsted wrist
'ands. Such remarkable escapes can occur
Tut once in thousand times.

lHE DALLES, lee. z, 1903.
Editor TIMEs-MoUSrANEER:
Thrown for a few days in your beautiful
city, your will premit a stranger to convey
through the medium of your excellent pa
per few impressions which your city and
its people made upon his mind. There is
an air of solidity pervading your business
circles, your improvements, and In fact
everything in and around The Dalles.
i our gro Ith seems to have been steady
ore, unaffected by booms of any kind. And
this is well. Still 1t seems to me that your
citizens owe it to themselves to spread in
legitimate way the facts of your advantages,
prospects, etc., far and near, that others
may crowd here. and give you in few
years,a population of 100000 A stranger
would congratulate you on the handsome
opera house now building and nearing COM
pietion, the enterprise of Mr. Max Vogt
It will be one of the best on the Pacific
coast, and one of which you may be justly
proud. Your city seems to be composed of
order-loviDg citizens.
4 stranger spending a Sunday in your
midst is struck by the air of peace and quiet
pervading the place, reminding one of the
towns of New England, when the church
bells call the worshippers to prayer. Drop
ping in at the Y. NJ. G. A. Hall, where the
Presbyterian people hold services, your cor
respondent was taken warmly by the hand
by the gentlemanly pastor, Rev. Hutchison,
whom he had the pleasure of hearing pre-
sent in forcible manner some Of the great
truths of the gospel. Passing up the street
he dropped into the Congregational church
while the Sabbath school was in session.
This church building is a model Of neatness
and convenience The Sabbath school un-
der the direction of that veteran sabbath
school superintendent S. l.. Brooks is a
marvel to all who witness its exercises.
The music, under the leadership of Mr..
Jesse CrandalI, was exceptionally fine. The
teaching in the classes was spirited and for
cible. The order and discipline were most
excellent. To see the pupils fling out after
the exercises in rank and step to the music
OF march played on both piano and organ
was pleasing spectacle. The pastor of the
church, Rev. Curtis, who is evidently a
mln of culture and refinement, by a little
attention and courtesies extremely grateful
to stranger made Us feel very much at
home. Mere kindnesses help soften the
rough places along the way OF life and
makes it easier to do well and truly its COM
plicated duties. STRANGER.

Sudden Death.

A man by the name of Sullivan died near
Chicken Springs last Tues lay, very sud-
denly. He had been engaged in killing
hogs during the morning, ate hearty din

killed and dressed, and large one was yet

Science describes some experiments
made Oh the cigarette by Professor w.
L. Dudley. of Vanderbilt university, rs
follows:
The fact that cigarette smoking pro-
duces physiological effects differing in
some extent from those Of the cigar led
him to make his experiments. The fire.
quently ascribed causes of the difference
that of the adulteration of cigarette to-
bacco with opium and other drugs, and
also the presence of arsenic in the paper
are for many reasons unsatisfactory
and insufficient. 1t is true, no doubt,
that the tobacco in many of the less ex-
pensive brands is adulterated with cheap
drugs and artificial flavors. and that in
the more expensive grades opium may be
used; but it is equally true that many
cigarettes are made of tobacco which is
free from sophistication. The presence
Of arsenic in the paper is entirely out OF
the question. There is difference in
the methods of smoking cigarette and
q cigar or pipe.
In the two last mentioned the smoke
is simply drawn into the mouth and ex-
pclled directly therefrom or through the
nose, while the experienced cigarette
smoker will inhale the smoke, that is,
draw it to greater or less extent into
the air passages, Gnd in somo cases to
the greatest depth of the lungs, and thus
the absorption ofsthe carbonic oxide and
other gases will take place very rapidly,
causing more or less deoxidation of the
blood. and thereby impajring its power
to build up the wasting tissues of the
body. /. That carbonic oxide is the
most poisonous constituent of tobacco
smoke: g That more injury results from
cigarette than cigar or pipe smoking. be-
cause. as a rule. the smoke of the former
is inhaled: 3. That cigarette smoking
without inhaling is no more injurious
than pipe or cigar smoking; A. That the
smoke of cigar or pipe, if inhaled, is
as injurious as cigarette smoke inhaled.
8. That the smoke from Turkish pipe,
if inhaled, is as injurious as that OF 6
cigarette inhaled.

A Sermon in Little.

We had been out walking in the cool
of the day, says a letter about Tolstoi,
and we had come upon a squad of 100
navvies who were employed at the rail-
way. They were finishing their supper,
and were on the point of turning into
their sod built huts. in which they slept,
ten ON each side, on rude plank plat
form, without mattresses, without even
straw. Count Tolstoi promised to send
them some straw, at which they seemed
very pleased. Honest, kindly looking
fellows they were: not SO stalwart as our
navvies. but full Of pleasant courtesy
and frank talk. The visit to their huts
naturally led to discussion upon the
social question. 1--WE have forgotten
Christ said the count; 1--WE will not
obey linn. And what is the result?
There you hare 100 men, each earning
fifty copecks day, without even straw
10 lie on at night. How can you and
sleep on mattresses and feather beds
when these Lardworking men have not
even strawi If you were Christian you
corM not. What right have you to too
much when your brother has not even
enough? The next step in Christianity,
the very first step, is for those who have
wealth and lands to part with all that
they have, and Let it go to the poor"

fix up committee matters between tnem
satisfactorily, and both are agreed no. to
get in the others way. Hermann W .nts

and Wilson IS anxions that he shollu

that he will secure such prominent
place, and will make an effort to get on
the commerce committee. If he should
get the other place, Wilson will try to
secure the commerce place, and in case of
failure will try to get on the public
build ngs committee. Hermann wlll1be
on one or the other of the first named
committees, but it is not at all certain
that Wilson can get either of the places

BosTON's CONFEDERATION.

BOSTON, Nov. 29-The burned district
to-day presents scene of desoation. A
portion of the fire department spent the
entire night and this forenoon qncnchiug
the remnants of the big blaze, while the
weary officers are still guarding the ruins,
The incoming trains are packed with
sightseers.
The walls Of some of the Quilted build
ings are in very dangerous condition.
Gangs of men have already begun tear
Ing away the debris. Among the spec
tacles at the ruins to day were 500 girls
employed In T. Y. Crowell's book bind

of families, and who now have no means
of subsistence.
Two more firemen are reported miss
ing. They are believed to be in the ruins
OF Brown 6 DurreIrs building.
The aggregate losses of the fire insur-
ance panies as reported by the agen-
cies show total of over SO, 100000. The

A TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST.

MINNEoPoL1s, Nov. 30.-A fire wa'
discovered On the third floor of the Tri-
bune building about 10 AS tonight, and
soon the entire building was wrapped IN
flames. On the seventh floor were stu
sted many offices, the Tribune sta I, edi-
tors, reporters and composltors. a num-
Der OF employees, In attempting to es ;ape,
jumped from the widows. A nu nber
of lives have been lost, ard at mldn ght
Sven bodies had been taken out of the
ruins. Only one is yet identified. 1t is
that of Professor Olson, of the Vermilii q.
Dak., university, who had gone 10 Sc a
friend. He jumped from the top flo ii
and was instantly killed.
A general alarm was turned in and all
the engines in the city responded to the
call. The imprisoned printers gathered
at the windows in the south end and
shrieked wildly, despairlngly for aid
Hurry the ladders, for Gods sake" was
shrieked with all the vehemence and
power that anguished dozens in peril of
their lives could muster. A vast crowd
from the opposite SIDE viewed the fire
wreck its work, and shouted words of
encouragement to them in their strenuous
endeavors tc hurry them up. The long
ladders seemed 10 move at snaii's pace,
but were finally rested in positiop, and
the crowd began TO cesceud. The flames
we're making steady encroacLmenss IN
the corner where tie men had huddled.
Life nets were brought and some wee
saved by this means.
The entire building, at this writing,
less than an hour after the fire stsrte I, is
mass ofruins. Sparks are flying il all
directions and the adjoining buildl ags
occupied by restaurant, saloon and
tailor store are doomed.
The Tribune building was five years
old, was a brick structure and was val
ued at 100000, The loss will probably
reach million dollars. The insurance
has not been ascertained
