Sheriff Gates received to-day a poste
! offering 1915 for the arrest of the murdere
, of Mamie Walsh near Milwaukee, signeC
by w. w. II. Samson, sheriff of Clacka

Nearly every town IN the county will
celebrate the coming 4th of July, and there
will be more patriotism displayed than for
many previous years. Tho editor OF this
paper has received three invitations to
'hold forth" on that occasion, only one of
which he could accept, and that was about
a month ago at the Cascade Locks.
There are complaints of pilfering of chick
ems, wood and other articles, being carried on
quite extensively among the bluff residents
During the past few days several articles
have been missed by the people in that
vicinity. and a careful watch will Be kept

be case in the courts, and the culprit will
suffer to the full extent of the law.

and wife, Editor Morgan Of the Sun aud
wife and Mrs. Blakeley, wife of County
Judge Blakeley, came down from The Dalles
last Saturday evening. remaining until the

We listened to a conversation of old pio-
neers to-day IN reference to early mining
days IN this country, when they ground
sluiced, and each expressed his preference
for the days of auld lang syne, when every
Saturday night they weighed the dust to
show the evidence of the weeks earnings.

+. We have heard the name of Mr.. F. NJ.
Thompson mentioned as proper person for
the position of stock inspector, to be ap.
pointed by the county Judge and commits
sioner elected Oh June 9th. Mr.. Thompson
is in every way qualified for the position,

News was received at Great Falls, Mont,
Sunday of the explosion of boiler at Brcc-
ton on the Great Northern, 100 miles east
of that place. Thursday. The train was
running eighteen miles an hour. Fireman
Ben Harting was blown through the cab
window and was badly scalded aud bruised,
but will live. Engineer Herbert was blown
clear over the tender by the force of the |
,concussion. He was fatally injured aud |

This Is undoubtedly land of liberty, |
especially for members of the bovine spe- |
cies, and this is clearly evinced when these |
roaming brutes can be seen inside the sacred |
precincts of the municipality breaking |
down fences, opening gates and nipping the
limbs of shade and fruit trees within reach. |
1t would be too bad to debar these ANIMALS
from the freedom of the country, and citi.
zsns should hear the ills they have rather
than fly to those they know not of.
We received a call to-day from Mr.. B,
Iremonger. one of the sheep kings of Grant
county. He sold his wool at Moody's
and 15a cents. MIR. 1remonger informs
us that some of the wool in the vicinity OIL
Caleb, has sold for l6 cents at Moody's this T
season. Crops around Caleb are in excellent
condition, and rains have been quite fre-
qnent. MIR. Iremouger noticed the differ.
ence In gram after crossing the Deschutes
river.
Now is the Matching season of the San
Jose scale, and consequently the proper
time to make war on the pests. Every
tree should be examined closely, and, if the
scale is found, washed thoroughly. Bulle-
tin No. of the State Board of Horticul-
ture, which can be found at most of the
stores, contains recipes and information as
to the manner of mixing and using washes.
A vigorous and persistent fight will, if taken
part in by all, soon exterminate the same,
which has small foothold here, and will go
a long ways towards destroying the other
pests.
Condor Globe: Some of the grain in this
section has been damaged more or less by
the dry hot winds and gophers, but not to
my great extent. Central Gillian seems to
be the favored portion of the country, as
we have fair crops here when it fails almost
every other place. Throughout the vast
territories of Ferry Canyon, Beecher Flat,
Matpey Flat, Lost Valley and Lone Rock
ying all around Condon-grain locks re-
well yet, particularly in the Lone
Rock and Lost Valley regions we are in
ormed that grain never looked better than
It present.
