and S. G. Campbell, who, with that num-
ber, severedsi connection with the
paper. Our business relations with Messrs

Col. Sinnott says it is mistake that the
footprints seen en- the streets yesterday
were those of the man who walked across
the river on the backs of salmon in early
days; but they came from the direction of
Rockland, and were evidently made by
some individual who had purchased North
Dailes property and left that portion of
Washington in great disgust.
Dufur Dispatch: W. T. Hunt and Frank
Bean had a turnover and smash-up Fri
day on the lovely Tygh hill slide (not road),
for both vehicle destroyed and personal in
juries received. This now seems to be the
only course open to the many who are
obliged to use this so-called road. By the
time the country has to pay one or two bills
the slide may be put into passable shape.
Dallas Observer: "Grandpa" Syron, who
had battled with the cares of this life for
more than l02 years, passed to the beyond
Tnn L.,
Mill Creek. His death was quiet, as the
wick of life had just burned out. He was
pioneer of this county and had, at all times
lived respected citizen among his fellow
citizens. He was probably the oldest per-
son of the state, as l02 years is not often
reached.
Vancouver Register: Hon. Allen Weir,

uation of real and personal property as

railroad track, is S3l9,Ol6,3ll. This is an
increase of $l0l, ,9l4, S5S Of the aggregate

when it reached $93, ,906, ,034.
Salem Statesman: Judge Leander Holmes,
who was committed to the asylum from
Portland a few days ago, in nearly dying
passed to the beyond Yesterday.
Judge Holmes came west at an early day
and was prominently and pleasantly asso-
ciated with the early history of Oregon.
He was delegate to the Republican nation
al convention in 1860. This was the con-
vention that nominated Abraham Lincoln
for president. As Mr.. Holmes was unable
to attend, he sent his proxy to Horace Gree
ley, and the great editor became a member
of the convention, and the claim is now
made that Lincoln's nomination was largely
due to Greeley's effort in his behalf.
Mr.. Fred. Sandefur, one OF the employees
of the Electric Light Co.. this morning in
repairing the wires at the corner of the
Baldwin store buildings on the railroad
bridge, met with a severe accident, by the

He had climbed it and adjusted the wires
when he felt it giving way under his weight.
He did not have time to descend, but the
force of the fall was broken by q guy wire,
which caused 1t to swing around before it
fell across the railroad track. Mr.. Sand
sfur received severe injuries around the
head, and was carried to his room. DIR.
Logan was called, dressed his wounds and
The patient is resting easily.

Mrs. d. W. Mann, while going home
bout four miles south on Mill creek last |
light, met with severe accident by which |
he suffered COLES fracture of the wrist |
Jr. Hollister was called and reduced the |
racture, and the patient is doing we'll. 1t |
ppears that Mrs. Mann, her husband and
wo- year-old child were driving home 10 a
wo wheeled cart, and, when they arrived |
It the gate of the residence, Mr.. Mann got
ut and opened IT. As it was enter
ng the enclosure, the horse became fright
med and shied, throwing Mrs. Mann. with
he child in her arms, on wood pile in the |
'ard. With maternal instinct, the lady |

Mr.. B. F. Hawes, who came from Idaho
With cattle and fed them at the stockyards
n this city, says that the reports about
,orned- cattle and horses dying in the Boise
,alley is not true. the winter in that state
las been an average one, and feed has been
,ery plentiful. Mr.. Hawes says the loss
las not been over l per cent. and not an |
IYerage one. Hay is selling at 81 to S.
on. and there is an abundance Of feed of
ii kinds. 1t may be in some mountainous
districts that cattle and horses have died,
,ut the loss is not at all seyere, and nothing |
quail to what the dispatches have stated. |
This gentleman is an extensive stock man,
md while he lives in Boise City his farm is
everal miles distant. He is man of integ-
ity, and being an old pioneer of Idaho
,uows the truth of what he says.
