There is a vast accumulation of freight |

some days and hard work before it can all |
be cleared up. One train going east to-day |
consisted of three sections.
W. w. Journal: A man named R. In.
gals, in charge of the relief department at |
Spokane Falls, robbed the same systematic
ally and then skipped. He was arrested |
however in California and is now on his
way back to be tried and punished, where
the otfense was committed.
Two trains were blockaded in this city
this morning. The Short Line arrived last
evening about 7 o'clock, and intended to go
through to Portland but proceeded as far
as Hood River and came back. The n. P.
arrived at as, and stopped here. There
was no transfer made of the passengers of

building on Washington street, formerly

has been needed IN this city for some time,
and we have every reason to believe it will
fill a long felt want.
Mr.. W. NJ. McCorkle, of Tygh valley,
gave us pleasant call this morning. His
mill is running every day during light, and
he says the wheat this year turns out about
as good as any other season, the only differ
ence being that 1t takes more grain than
formerly to make the same amount of flour.
Mr.. McCorkle has been acquainted with
this country for over twenty years, and he
has never seen the water so low in streams
and springs.
Baker Democrat: The examination of j.
J. Page on charge of robbing the U. S.
mail terminated yesterday morning before
Commissioner Farnham by the honorable
discharge OF the defendant. Page succeeded
by the testimony Of numerous witnesses in
proving au alibl. At the time of the stage
robbery he was at Cracker City, twelve
miles distant, and was able to give good
account of himself from the time of his first
departure from this city until his return.
That the least suspicion of his connection
with the robbery should be placed on his
shoulders is without justification.
Brother Cradlebaugh was much disap-
pointed this morning to awaken from his
peaceful slunbers in the Pullman car and
find himself opposite the Wasco warehouse.
He went to sleep last night expecting to be
in Portland this morning, the train moving
westward steadily. Being blessed with an
easy conscience he slept soundly and sweet
ly. and at 7 this morning hurriedly dressed
himself to take breakfast in the metropolis,
and did not know his latitude and longi-
tude until the brick walls of the warehouse
opened to his view. The train went as far
as it could; but at Hood River found the
bridges not repaired and returned.
