From all parts comes the report that
the soil has received an abundance of
moisture to insure some kind of crop.
If we are blessed with a few showers
in June abundant crops will follow be-
yond any peradventure. A farmer from
Tygh Ridge stated yesterday that the
ground has not had as much moisture in
it for the past five years as it has this
year. Every bit of the snow has gone
into the ground.
We are sorry to hear that quite a
number of horses have died during the
past winter, south of Fifteen Mile, from
some disease resembling epizootic. F.
Claussen OF Nansene lost twelve head,
and Mr.. Fisher Mr.. Craft and others
from one to four or five. Cattle, we
are told, have been affected in a some
what similar manner, in frequent in
stances and have died, but in no great
number, and the losses will not seriously
affect any one. There was no lack of
feed anywhere.
''Keno" writing from Antelope to the
Fossil Journal under date March Is,
says:
The coroner's jury is today sitting on
the remains of man named Finney,
who died at the stage station on Currant
Greek. He had been in bad health for
a long time, and from appearance was
stricken with death while reading a
newspaper. The deceased, who has
been a resident of this vicinity for many
years, was finely educated man, had
bean q TJniop soldier during the war
and no doubt in his better day had
\ marked out great things which he would
accomplished, but Alcohol that great
solvent dissolved his ambition as it has
many another, and he died wreck and
will be buried a pauper.
DIR. Vanderpool, of Dufur, is the hap
piest man in that burg. Nearly a year
ago, while camping at the Warm Spring
\ river, he lost very fine horse which,
with his mate, made one of the finest
driving teams in the county The doctor
thought he had been stolen and used
every effort within his power for his
recovery, but in vain. He had long
since given up the idea of ever seeing his
handsome favorite when two or three
days ago Jim Brown, of Tygh valley
brought him back to his master safe and
sound 1t need not be said the doctor
was surprised and delighted The horse
was found by Mr. Brown on the east side
of the Deschutes and had probably
crossed the river intending to get back tc
Dufur but got lost on the range.
