. greatest attractions.

point. These parties were arrested this

nation, and are now in Jail at Goldendale.

Yesterday morning appeared before the
recorder genial professional hobo, one who
seemed to the manner born, and who had
Piled his vocation in numerous states and
territories. He was not one of the ordinary
unsophisticated tramps; but had carefully
studied the art, and fully understood the
amenities of the profession. Of course he
was not burdened with the vulgar substance
known as coin, and, by reason of this slight
discrepancy, was forced to remain IN the
city jail for longer time than was agree
able to the cultivated and refined feelings
of the unfortunate victims,
Here is an excellent remedy for the scale:
Place 10 pounds Of lime and 20 pounds of
sulphur IN boiler with 20 gallons of water
and boil for from l "a to 2 hours, or till the
sulphur is dissolved into an amber-colored
solution. Slack 80 pounds of lime in hot
water in cask, and while it is still boiling
add the whole to the sulphur in the boiler,
and cook for half an hour longer Then
add water to make 60 gallons of the whole.
Strain through burlap, and spray. Use
only in winthr when trees are dormant, but
as early as possible in the season. Less
lime may be used if thought advisable.
Hood River Glacier: The Oregon Lumber
Co. has decided to build broad gauge rail
road from Mill A into the timber, and work |
will be commenced at once. This will fur |
nish employment for one hundred men, and |
probably more than that number will find |
steady employment all summer. The COM
pany has large tie contract and will run |
every saw they own to its fullest capacity |
as long as the weather will permit. We
are glad indeed to chronicle this, as what |
eyer sins of omisson or commission the Ore |
gon Lumber Co. may be charged with, they |
possess the virtue of distributing lots OF |
hard coin here.
John Woodston, a laborer 30 years Of
age, attempted to commit suicide this morn |
ing between Viento and Wyeth, by throw
ing himself before the engine attached to |
the west-bound fast mail train. He was |
struck by the pilot of the engine and badly |
cut up about the head, but the full extent OF |
his injuries have not yet heen determined. |
He was brought to this city on the noon |
train, arriving from Portland to be given |
oyer to the care of the county, but the au-
thor1ties refused to receive him, holding |
that the railroad company was responsible |
for iniurlng the man. Agent Lyttle had |
W ram0vad from the f0 the |
Umatilla House and provided the necessary |
medical attendance for him,and the injured
man will probably be sent to the hospital
this evening.
Mr.. A. Tabor, of Granite, who was in the
city Thursday, says the Baker City Demo
crdt, referred to the Monumental mine now
being operated by MIR. Chas Miller, who, it
NAV be SAID, has had unbounded faith in
the wealth of the property in face of adver-
s:ty and now after many years of litigation
aud other complications he is IN a fair way
to see his long deferred hopes realized. Mr..
Tabor says that in the 1200-foot tunnel con-
structed during the time the mine was un-
der the control of the English company a
ledge was cross-cut and recently Mr.. Miller
has run both ways on 1t and it has devel-
oped into ten-lnch vein of exceedingly |
high grade ore and 1t is thought to be a
stringer to the main ledge. The ore being
taken out in the prosecution of work to
reach the mother lode is being delivered at
the Monumental mill and It's reduction will
soon be made.
