1t was rumored Monday that all the
Oregon Lumber Company's mills would
be shut down this week, caused by an
order from the land department forbid
ding further cutting of timber. 1t is not
probable that this will happen, as the
company has an abundance of timber of
its own, for all except the lower mill.
The cause of the rumor was that some
of the persons who have homestead lands
near the mill have doubts as to their
right to cut the timber until they have
made final proof, and SO they will quit
cutting until that time. 1t is probable
that the lower mill will be moved, as all
the available timber in that neighbor-
hood has been cut. 1t is quite a hard
ship on some of the settlers who have
occupied the lands for years, that they
are forbidden by law to cut the timber
from their claims, but the only way to
overcome this difficulty is to make final
proof. Glacier.

EASTERN OREGON wEATHER.

SENIkAls OfFlCE, OREGON.1
EASTERN OREGON WEATHER.
The weather has continued cool, partly
cloudy and general rains have fallen,
with snow on the higher elevations south
of the Blue mountains. The total rain
fall this month has been in excess, at
most places of any previous record.
The rains have been most beneficial to
the growing wheat, other cereals, corn,
fruit and garden products, also to the
hay and stock feed. All vegetation has
a brighter prospect for good harvest
than for many previous years. Summer
fallow wheat will yield enormously, and
spring and volunteer wheat will be good
crops except in some few sections where
it was burnt in May. Fruit is thriving
and doing well, but needs warmer
weather. Oregon as whole, has been
carefully estimated and conclusions
made that the present prospects indicate
at least one million more bushels of
wheat this year than last.

Death ofa Pion.er.

A telegram was received by Mrs. w.
D. Palmer of this city, Sunday morning
carrying the sad intelligence that her
mother Mrs. /. N. Gilbert of Salem had
died that morning. No particulars were
given and as she was in good health
about the middle of last week when
heard from Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer can
not surmise what was the cause of her
death. Mrs. Palmer has gone to Salem
to attend the last sad rites of the deceas-
ed. Mrs. Gilbert has many friends III
The Dalles and in fact all over Oregon.
She was one of the pioneers of the Will
lamette valley, in 1S47, having come
there from Indiana with her parents.
Her father is Alfred Stanton, a cousin of
ex-Secretary of war Stanton of the Lin
coin cabinet. In 1850 she was married
to Mr.. /. n. Gilbert, and five girls and
one son blessed their union, which was
an unusually happy one. Her husband
died in 1878, and her children are all
alive and well except one which died
fourteen years ago. Mrs. Gilbert resid-
ed at Salem from the time of her mar
riage until her death. She was one of
the four members that founded the First
Congregational church of that city, in
1852, an organization that has been
powerful and strong since it's reception,
now having 266 active members. Mrs.
Gilbert was the sole survivor of the four
that organized the church. Her infiu-
ence' for good can never be measured.
Her example has always been a grand
one. She was an honored wife, a loving
mother and a noble woman and her re-
ward will be great on the other side At
the time of her death she was IS years
of age.
The following particulars are learned
by telegraph of this estimable lady s
death, which occurred at an early hour
Sunday morning, or some time during
the night. ''Her body was found this
morning at the foot of the stairs with
her neck broken, she having fallen down
the stairs during the night. When the
body was found it was cold and rigid,
showing she must have fallen about
midnight. She was dressed in her night
clothes, having no doubt arisen from
grandson, who is sick and living with
her. They were alone in the house at
the time, and nothing was known of the
accident until this morning, when the
boy found the bod, bruised and bloody
