LOCAL RECORD.

AN INDIAN Boy.-The Journal saws:
o G Savage, the farmer at the Harrison
Institute, Chemawa, was in Salem today
en- route to Albany where he went tC
brink back one of the escaped Indian
students. The wanderer is aged about
fourteen and left the school on We,lnes
day, coming 20 Salem He boarded the
Albany local that evening and rode the
blind baggage portion of the distance
when the trainmen discovered him and
gave him berth on the inside. Arriv-
ing at Albany, the city marshal took the
little redskin III charge and then inform
ed the superintendent at Chemawa. who
detailed Mr. Savage to go after hin. The
boy is partly deaf, and has been in
the Oregon mute school in this city the
past year.
The boy was taken TO Saleul this morn
inc and brought back and taken to his
mother, who is picking hops near Leb
anon. He was formerly OF the Warm
Springs and was taken care ui for awhile
by Councilman Wheeler Two plugs OF
tobacco stolen from Watson indicate that
he was undoubtedly the person who
broke into Watson's, limerick & Bakers
and Schmeer's, doing So because he was
hungry and wanted something to eat.
He is deaf and dumb.
A BIG HoP YARp.-A visit 10 the hop
yard of DIR IL A Davis last Wednesday re-
vealed an important industry within our
midst. The largest number of people
ever working in Harrisburg under one
management was there employed More
than fonr hundred are engaged in the
netd and about the premises, and al
ready many hundred pounds OF the hops
are ready for the bailer. We believe Mr.
Davis TO be the most extensive hop
grower in Oregon. he has this year
seventy-tive acres IN cultivation, which
Is considerable OF an increase over the
acl cage OF any previous year. Mr. Davis
estimates his present crop at about 500
or 800 pounds to the acre, or in all about
o. 800 pounds-probably safe estimate.
Figuring the price at So cents pound.
the crop will sell for so, $50. Although
the yield is estimated at about one-half
OF an average crop, the hops are OF ex.
celient quality, and with the exception
oil three or four acres the entire field is

Az OLD HusrER.-An old trapper out
IN the Silver Greek falls district was in
Salem yesterday afternoon collecting
from Marion county the bounty due him
for killing two wild cats and four coyotes.
The boanty offered On wild cats is 20 so
each and the value OF a coyotes scalp is
80, so when he left the court house the
old trapper had SIS in his inside pocket.

ARE VIZ AwAKE.-lust hear this from
the Statesman: The busting city of AL
bany will soon be connected with the Cap
ital City and the other cilies of the valley
by telephone. The council has granted
privileges for erecting poles and strInging
wires, and very soon the instruments will
be connected and the electric current
turned on, hen the talking machines win
be in motion. The wires are already up
leading across the new bridge at Linn's
capital. Salem congIatulates.
FOREST FIREs.-Forest fires in the
Cascades beyond Niagara are causing
considerable damage to property and are
rapidly spreading in every direction. A
man from there last evening reported
that Wes Maple. among Others, was COM
pletely burned out, even his house going.
Should the trees of the Cascades ever
present the spectacle of those of the
Coast range, timber claims will not be
very valuable along the o. P. front.

been operating around Peoria and Oak
