Little Alma Miller, who strayed or was
taken on the Goth of last month from her
home three miles west of Summerville, is
still missing. As soon as it was discovered
that the child was not within call, search
was begun and has been kept up ever since.
The house is near the timber, which has
been secured for considerable distance by
line composed of nearly two hundred per-
sons. No trace of her has been found.
Her father, l. w. Miller, has no theory to
account for her disappearance. He says he
mas been unable to fiud anything to indicate
that she was carried away or killed by cou.
gars, no tracks even of those animals being
discoverable. The little girl has hazel eyes,
light hair, shingle5, and has three
cornered scar on the back of her head; is
three feet nine inches tall, rather slight.
Mr.. Miller, who was in this city to day,
offers liberal reward for information lead
ing to her recovery.-PendLeton Tribune.

A gay and Festive individual representing
a prominent accident Insurance company,
worked Pendleton in good shape few days
since, says the Oregon alliance Herald.
Also mine host of the Alta house, who, be-
ing of a confiding nature, took stock IN the
representations of the PLAUSIBLE fraud who
stated that he worked sThe Dalles and
among other prominent men had taken
risk on ex. Gov Moody, for which his honor
had given him his cheek for $3.50 on the
bank in The Dalles. Being a little short
and desiring to settle his bill he rendered
Mr.. Rem the ex-Gov's check which was
taken and account squared to date. Mr. Rem
presented the check at the counter of the
First National Bank IL this city with its
endorsement; it was paid. Five days
passed. MIR. Rem received notice to call at
the bank, notified the paper was worthless
and forgery; tor the information he was
charged So additional. Not long since the
cashier of that same institution came near
investing 500. but fortune was on his side
and the party disgorged. But not SO with
mine host of the Alta. He Is out and the
insurance man has gone where the woodbine

you cash his check.
Union Journal: George Debord, the II
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. George De-
bc,d, residing near the Adventist college,
was run over and killed by train at Ell
lensburgh few dsys ago. Young De-
bord had been working in Portland for
several months, and last week his father
paid him a visit. Upon his return 10
this city the boy asked his father to take
him with him, but be declined to do so,
as he thought the boy would !ose his
place. Several days after Mr.. D. arrived
home, the boy took the Northern Pacific
train for Walla Walla snd at Ellensburg
his body was found beneath passenger
car horribly mangled, and it is presumed
that being without sufficient money to
pay his fare, he attempted to steal u ride
by riding on the brake beams. For some
reason his parents wele not notified for
few days afterwards, and in The mean
time the remains were inferred at Ellens-
burg. HIS mother is reported to be com
pletely prostrated with grief.

St, Louis Republic: For years I have
collected and carefully indexed every news.
paper item in any way bearing upon the
subject of the tallest and largest American
family. From careful analysis of this
truly imposing array of giant literature
have come to the conclusion that the
Pettljohn family of Walla Walla county,
Washington, deserves the palm. My data
On the score are hardly as recent as l would
like; they are the ''best in the shop" and
are here given: The family consists of ten
children, seven boys and three girls, the
average height of the ten being 81 feet,
and the average weight pa pounds, includ-
ing the two children not yet grown. The
"baby" is boy of II who is feet and one
inch high and weighs 265 pounds.

Exchange: The assessors of the state
of Washington have just finished taking
Its population. which foots up total OF
6,S77, or only about $4,000 less than
the 10000 mark. This is an increase of
nearly 10000 over the census of 1890,
notwithstanding the dull times of the
last two years, and of 10000 over the
census of 1880. Would it not be well If
Oregon had similar census taken In or
der that we may know what is our real
number of inbabitants2 The federal
census of 1890 gave this state only 313,-
767, which was plainly too small and
does not do even decent credit>to our
natural growth.

centre,
James Pelton, of Bend, will soon start
to Southern Oregon with bunch OF beef
steers which he will feed for the early
spring and late winter market. In our
judgment Mr.. Pelton adopts wise busl-
ness course. He purchases young valley
steers and drives them to this county to
feed upon the free and luxurious growth
OF bunch grass until they reach the age
chat feeding will be profitable, then Mr..
Pelton drives them to Southern Oregon,
where winter feeding Is much cheaper
and the shipping facilities are such as
will enable one to put his cattle on the
early market, which is usually the best.
Last Saturday some travellers stopped
at Iarkin Weaver's place, ten miles west
of town, and camped there over night.
Mr.. Weaver was absent from home at
that time, and when be returned he
missed number of articles such as a log
cham, wblff1e trees, etc., and seeing signs
of the campers, he at once came to town,
a search warrant was issued together
with number Of other papers, and
armed with these Sheriff Booth was
ordered to proceed on the campers trail.
He overhauled them at the Ochoco mines
and instituted a search of their goods and
chattles; but "nary" chain or whiffle tree
was found belonging to the aggrieved
party. That chain will cost the county
about $50.
