The Word "Oregon.

A word, about which there Is
much dispute, is the name OF our
state, Oregon. Several more or less
plausible theories lave been adj
vauced, but to each of which, save
one, there are fatal objections. Inc
first time the word Oregon appeared
in print was in 1875. Captain JON
athan Carver published in London a
narrative of his travels west of the
Mississippi river ten years previous
ly, in which he applies the name TO
a stream which the Indians told
him flowed westward from the
"Stony" mountains to the Pacific.
The existence of such a river had
long been known by those hardy
French explorers, who had for
years traversed the region of the
lakes and the Father of the Waters,
and was indicated on the maps of
the period as the "River of the
West" Whence Carver derived
his authority to call the river of the
West the "Oregon" is a matter OF
pure speculation, but he probably
supposed it to be the rame of the
stream from some half understood
words spoken by the Indians.

Six Days In sand and Dirt.

Deputy Sheriff Frank Wright
man returned to-day from Harvey
Valley, where he had gone to get
the prisoner, Raymond Gribble,
who had been arrested there at the
request of Sheriff Croisan. GribbIe
is the man who stole rope with a
horse at one end Of it at Aurora on
April first of this year. Gribble's
case will be looked into by the next
grand jury. Mr.. Wrightman had
a long and dusty overland ride Of
over 400 miles. At Ontario he left
the railroad and took a blackboard
for Harney, 200 miles distant.
This was a three days trip
through sand and dust and
now Mr.. Wrightman has a full
appreciation of Eastern Oregon.
He says crops generally up that way
are burned out, there having been
no rain for a long time and but very
little during the spring and winter.

Cheerful old AGE.

81 look upon death to be as neces-
sary to our constitution as sleep"
1--WE shall rise refreshed in the morn
ing"
In this cheerful vein wrote the
philosopher and statesman at the
age of eighty-two. His vision was
at this time much impaired, and he
suffered severely from gout; but
these affiictions, he tells us, did not
prevent him "enjoying the pleas
ure of society, and being cheerful in
conversation"
There is something ineXpressibly
beautiful in old age, when thus eX-
hibited devoid of querulousness, dis
content or gloom, and free also from
unbecoming levity.
We know of no good reason why
the closing year of life should be sor-
rowful simply because they are the
last. AS the pilgrims failing feet
bear him tottering through the final
scenes of this "strange, eventful his
tory" the peace and happiness of
the world beyond must seem to him,
one would think, more desirable at
every step. Even if the backward
prospect be dark with errors, there
is light before-lfght attainable; and
the great truth that it may be reach
ell should be mighty consolation.

Four Crops a Year.

A rancher on the Wenatchee val
ley, Just across the divide from Sno-
homish county, on the eastern alope
of the Cascades, last year cut field
of alfalfa grass four times, getting
two and half tons to the acre each
time, or ten tons for the season.
This in one respect beats the record
in Snohomish county. A farmer
on the marsh near this place cut
two crops last season-four tons to
the acre the first time and three the
second, or seven tons TO the acre for
the year. Across the divide they
can beat us on crops but come in be-
hind on yield.-Snohomish Eye,

To Stop a Runaway Horse.

The Russian method for stopping
runaway horse is said to be very
effective, and is not particularly
cruel. They place a cord with a
running knot around the horses
neck near the neck strap. To this
slip moose attach pair of reins
which may be thrown over the DASH
board ready to be seized at once.
When the horse starts take up the
extra reins, and tighten the cord
around the horse'sthroat. The most
furious horse thus choked stops in
stantly, and will not kick or fall.

Rev. Jason Lee began the edu-

The first school was founded at that
time. The Indian mission school
which was then begun gathered
quite large number of natives and
did excellent work for some years.
In 1874 the Oregon Institute, which
took the place of the school above
mentioned, was formally opened.
This was merged into the William
ette University in 1853 and in Janu-
AIRY of that year the legislature of
the territory gave the authority for
the change.

MRS. JONES HEARD FROM.
She Was in Hoboken Sunday, and Walked
Off with One of Her Children.

She Was in Hoboken Sunday, and Walked
OFF with One of Her Children.
The slippery Mrs. Jones. who has sue
ceeded in eluding the vigilance of the
police so long; the same Mrs. Jones in
whose house Sport Fenton was robbed;
the identical Mrs Jones for whose
appeared in the court Captain Christopher
r. Smith made himself responsible--Mrs
Jones, be it remarked, made her own ap-
pearance voluntarily in Hoboken, Sunday
New York which the police are supposed
to know about, but do not invade.
She took away with her George, her
Oldest child, about six years of age, and
he has not been seen since. 1t will be
remembered that when Mrs. Jones
was so unkind as to run away
leaving Captain Christopher p. Smith
in very peculiar position, she be-
slowed her three children upon her
mother, Mrs. Dugan, who lives on Park
avenue, Hoboken. A younger sister of
when Mrs Jones called. The story goes
that she was sent in to get Georgia, and
did so: and that the child then accom-
panied its mother to the aforesaid known
but unexplored haunt
This may not worry Captain Christopher
P. Smith very much, but Mr.. Jones
doesn't like it. He called at the Hoboken
police station to find out what he could
do about it. He couldn't do anything; at
until Monday, and then see what the
Judge could do for him.
"But where's my child in the mean
timer" asked Mr.. Jones. He was not in
formed. The police of this city intimate
that they know, but they will not tell.
