An intrepid Naturalist.

A dispatch from the City Of Mexico says
that VIM. B. Richardson, the young Bos.
ton naturalist, has succeeded in reaching
the top of the volcano Colima. Tho feat
was . daring one Richardson pitched his
tent at the upper line Of pine trees and
just below the lower line Of ashes and
lava. The trees above had all been burned,
and it was impossible to walk in the deep
bed of ashes. From this point Richardson
and bis Indian followers could hear the
sound of air from rents In the side Of
the volcano. The Indians were much ter.

brooks end older beds Of lava. One dense
cloud Of ashes covered the party thickly
and drove birds lower down.

The temperature and rainfall have beer

temperature has been above the freezing
point, but few frosts are reported. Light
rains were experienced in all parts of the

The soil remains too wet for spring plow-
ing and seeding, except in favored localities,
generally on uplands.
The winter wheat crop is generally re-
ported in good condition though not favor
ably affected as to growth by the weather.
In some parts of East ern Oregon the winter
froze the wheat out and it is now being re.
sown. Grass is growing, though like the
wheat, it needs more sunshine.
The past week has shown no material ad.
yancement In buds and blossoms. Indica-
tions point to an excellent yield of fruit, ex.
cept peaches. which were quite generally
injured by the cold winter.
The season is very backward. This may
be accounted for by the fact of the unusual
heavy snow yet in the mountains; when the
snow fall in the mountains has been heavy

Prineville News.

Last Wednesday, at his home on McKay Z.
Jimmy Lafollet accidentally shot himself
with pistol, the wound proving fatal five
hours after. He had gone to the wood pile
after wood when shot was heard, and
other members Of the family going out. saw
him lying on the ground, where he had j. ust
fallen. HIS pistol was near him. Medical
aid was summoned, but the boy never re-
gained consciousness. This happened about
o'clock in the afternoon, and at 10 o'clock
in the evening he died. Tne only thing as
to the cause of the accident is that while
STOPPING to pick up wood, the pistol fell
from his pocket aud was in that way dis
charged. As the ball entered the forehead
and ranged upward, this is most likely cor
rect. The idea of Jimmy having purposely
committed suicide is not credited by any
who are acquainted with him, as he was a
cheerful and happy fellow. delighting in all
kinds of sport, and especially in hunting.
Jimmy Laiollett was Is years old the 23rd
day of last February Just passed. The
burial took place from the Methodist church
yesterday.
