it is possible for the amount thus
expended. There are two systems

Manufacturing

Furniture Manufacturing company
shipped to James Nelson of Fairview,
near this city, five packages of goods.
They we're addressed and billed via the
d. P. and A. N. Co. After considerable
anxiety and writing back and forth to
Portland Mr.. Nelson found last Thursday
for the first time, that the goods had
been stolen by the Union Pacific and
shipped on the Baker. Here is what
Mr.. Nelson's son, who resides in Port
land, has to say about the matter:
''The Union Pacific stole the shipment
from the steamer Dalles City. The
drayman seems to have been in 'cahoots'
with the company and took the ship
ment to the Union Pacific and they for
warded it although it was not on their
shipping receipt form or ordered to be
shipped by their line. The Oregon
Furniture company is very much worked
up about the matter and this snide piece
of business may cost the Union Pacific
a pile of money. through loss of their
shipments. There are lots of other sore
heads here besides"

The Result Of a spree.

From Mr.. A. G.. Sanford who has just
returned from Sherman county we learn
the following particulars of singular
death that took place near Grass Valley
ON the first of the present month. 1t
was that of man little over middle
age, named George Butler who came to
Eastern Oregon from California about
three months ago and was stopping at
the residence of Frank French. Butler
had been confined to his bed about a
week before the end c3me. Previous to
that he had been in The Dalles and had
got on spree. When he returned home
he took to his bed, complaining at the
same time of feeling as if his right side
was paralyzed. Afterwards he fell into
a sleep that lasted about three days when
he passed away with scarcely struggle.
In the absence of the opinion of a ply
sician it is generally believed that But
Ter owes his death to the spree he got on
while in this city.
