BOILER EXPLOSION.
The Steam Gauge is Out of Order and
IL Terrible Explosion is the
Result.

Result.
About four o'clock Monday afternoon
a terrific shock was felt over the city.
followed by loud report, and an in
stant later five unfortunate victims
were found scattered about, bleeding
and manglcd masses of humanity, hoy
ering between life and death. An ell
gine belonging to John Klemer had
blown up. 1t had been standing back
of Champion & Uffelman's blacksmith
shop all winter, and was being fired up
for the first time this spring, prepara-
tory to being taken to the country for
threshing purposes. The steam gauge
was evidently out of order, as it showed
only sixty pounds, when in all proba-
bility there were at least 200 pounds of
steam in the boiler. Mr.. Klemer was
in charge of the engine at the time of
the explosion, and thinking it strange
that the gauge only showed sixty
pounds Of steam after about four hours
ofcontinuous firing, sent for Mr.. White.
a member of the firm of White & Stur-
geon, boilermakers and machinests.
MI. White had not been on the ground
but two minutes when the explosion
occurred. The entire engine was
blown ten feet in the air and crushed
through the side of Champion & Uffel-
mans shop on it's downward course.
Scattering fragments Of iron were
thrown fully a block and half away
in every direction.
The injured were quickly gathered
up by kind and loving hands, and car
ried into Mory's drug store, which was
transformed into temporary hospital,
and the large crowd which had already
assembled were eager to lend helping
hand toward making the unfortunate
victims as comfortable as possible.
DR.. Welch was on hand immediately
after the accident. Upon examination
it was found that Mr.. White was ia.
tally injured, and after suffering untold
agony for about an hour death came tc
his relief. His remains were taken tc

and two small children to mourn his

Mr.. Klemer is in very critical con.
dition at this writing Thursday noon
but it is thought that the chances are
in favor of his recovery. In such event
he will be terribly disfgured, having
lost an eye, received a broken leg, an6

THE many friends of Hon. W. J.
Mcconnell will feel gratified at his
nomination for governor of Idaho,
by the republican convention.
Mr.. Mcconnell is an old Oregon
ian, and was once a member of
the state senate, representing
Yamhill county. AS president of
the senate he was presiding officer
of the convention in 1882, during
the protracted effort to elect a
United States senator that year,
when j. N. Dolph was chosen a
few minutes before the final ad-
journment of the legislature. For
the past eight yeaas Mr.. McCon-
nell has been a resident of Idaho,
and was one of the first United
States senators elected. His career
in the national senate lasted only
a few weeks, however, as he drew
the short term. He will be elected
governor without doubt.-States-

The Alaska Herald says that if
the seals were all destroyed, the
Prlbylof islands would still be
valuable by reason of the bone de-
posits. On these islands seals
have been killed in almost count
less numbers for more than a CEN
tury, and the accumulation of
bones is correspondingly large.
To give an idea of this deposit it is
only necessary to consider that a
single year, under present circum-
stances, would yield hundred
thousand carcasses, each contain
ing at least twenty pounds of bone,
or a total of one thousand tons.

THE ERA or STRIKES.

In New York the switchmen S
strike appears to be strong ard
well organized. 1t would have
been stronger had the men re-
Trained from acts of violence and
intimidation at the outset. That
misconduct aroused public indig-
nation. Governor Flower was
compelled to order out part of the
state militia. This was done so
promptly that there are 5000 men
under arms in Buffalo today. The
number will be increased still
more when the troops from New
York city and the river counties
arrive. Governor Flowers alac-
rity contrasts favorably with Gov
ernor Pattison's tardiness in send
ing troops to Homestead, where
there had been much greater dis
turbance than at Buffalo. This
strike began in a dispute about the
hours of labor, but it is regarded
by the railroad companies as a de-
mand for an advance of ten per
cent. on the present wages. The
state of New York has a board of
arbitration for conflicts of this
kind, but it has not been able to
avert this strike nor to prevent
it from extending after it had be-
gun.
In selecting Buffalo as the scene
ofthe outbreak the strikers have
acted shrewdly. In that city the
Erie, Lehigh Valley, New York
Central and Lake Shore lines all
meet. The traffic is large, for the
great lake port retains its hold on
New York commerce and has be-
come the distributing point fol
western grain and Pennsylvania
coal, as we'll as for much of the
merchandise that is sent from New
York to the west. The traffic oil
the Erie canal alone imparts i'm
portance to Buffalo, which is like
wise one of the seats of the milling
business. By stopping traffic al
this point the strikers expect to
bring the roads to terms more
readily than they might elsewhere
Besides, Buffalo served best for a
concerted movement, embracing
the switchmen on strong trunk
lines.
The warfare in Tennessee is of 6
different character from that in
New York. The Tennessee miners
strive to abolish the use of convict
labor in the mines. The strikers
had everything very much theil
own way until they attacked the
stockade at Coal Greek, where they
were three times repulsed with
heavy loss. Troops and citizens
are now rallying to the defense oi
law and order. The strikers are
overmatched and must submit
They might have abolished convict
labor in mines if they had acted
peaceably and prudently, but the
moment they took the law into
their own hands, they aroused the
spirit of conservatism and re
spect for authority which are still
strong in the southern states.

SHEEP AND WOOL.
Some Important Facts Respecting tn.
Stock, Quality And Prices,

Some Important Facts Respecting the
Stock, Quality And Prices.
Mr.. G. A. Rhea of Heppner, who is
largely interested in sheep raising in
Morrow county, furnishes the folasFffig g
facts and figures to the OpegoDian:
Morrow county produces more wool
than any county i'll the state. There are
now about 250, 600 sheep herded within
the boundaries of the county which pro-
duced, at the last shearing, about 5000
900 pounds of wool. We found ready
market for the wool at from to Is cents
per pound. The buyers come right in
to Heppner and take it off our hands,
and then ship it either to eastern cities
or to San Francisco. We get two crops
year from the sheep, and that makes
it very good paying business. The
sheep-in our part of the state are free
from all diseases, and are in such a con-
dition as to bring good price anywhere.
The merino sheep is the best paying
sheep in Oregon, as it is hardy, and
Yields good crop of wool. For some
time there have been a number of Mon
tana sheep buyers coming into eastern
Oregon and trying to purchase sheep,
offering 1926 to $3.50 per head for ewes.
The price is large and tempting one,
but the sheep-farmers have no more
sheep than they want, and refuse to part
with them. There is stlp of land about
fifteen miles in width all along the
Columbia river that is just adapted to
sheep raising. The grass is green all the
year, and the sheep can feed on it all
winter. The foothills of the Blue Noun
tains also make fine grazing land. The
farmers failed to get a good crop this
year, but they are not bit discouraged,
and have put in about third larger
crop than ever before. If the winter
proves to be q good one they will have
more than an abundance of grain next
year. Business is very good and money
plentiful, and no one in our section of
the country has anything to complain
about.
When it comes to wool, Wasco takes
the floor. The Dalles has been the very
best and the biggest wool market in the
United States this year, over $500, 900
pounds being marketed here at an aver
age price throughout of 1514 to I64
cents per pound. We hope our glory
may not have departed-but it is like
Ohio and California e'1n doubt today
Wasco did not raise all this wool; some
of it came from 'Prineville and beyond"
over into Crook county, where we very
much desire to see the promised con-
struction of The Dalles Southern rail-
way, also somewhat more doubtful now
than were its prospects last month.
Good mutton sheep have sold in this
market this year at 1915 to 81 per head,
and good ewes at S., but it may be said
to be Extremely doubtful if we secure
such prices after 1892 at any time with
in the next seven or seventeen years.

No Ground For Complaint.

We understand that several of our
people. delayed giving their orders until
this week, and now find their orders will
not be accepted at headquarters as the
offer for Oregon City has been with
drawn. Some of these are now con-
demning the Oregonian for thus cutting
off their offer before all had an opporsu-
nifty of taking advantage of it. OF course
it is great disappointment to find them
selves day too late, but we are of the
opinion that in this matter there is no
ground for complaint against the Orego-
nian as they were certainly explicit
enough in announcing the expiration of
their offer, and those who delayed avail
ing themselves of the opportunity, have
Pnly themselves to blame for their dis
fppointment.-Oregon City Enterprise.

Deacon Roberts, long and favorably

started to Paso de Robels springs in
California this morning, accompanied
by Mrs. R., and two sons, in hope that
the trip may be the means of doing him
some good, although it must be consid-
cred doubtful. The old gentleman was
carried to the train on stretcher and
was fixed comfortably in the baggage
car. Mr.. Roberts has long been con-
nected with the ministry in the Congre-

sionary to the Sandwich Islands, from
Boston, and one of the most scholarly
men in the missionary service, being
