jay eonld,s Starting Point.

East Oregonian. 1t is popular be-
lief that the late Jay Gould owed the
position he attained in life entirely to
his own talents and exertions, which
transformed him from a pennlless boy
into one of the worlds create st financers.
S. P. and w. II. Gould, of this city, are
distant relatives of the dead millionaire,
and during a conversation concerning
him the latter stated that Jay Gould re-
ceived fair start on the road to fortune
by lucky windfall. W. II. Gould s
father, S. A. Gould, who resides at New
Orleans, received in 1859, a parchment
letter from firm of attorneys inform
ing him that there were $50, ,000, 900 de-
posted in the bank of England awaiting
Gould, of Scotland, who was wealthy
ship builder on the Dundee river. Later,
in the same year, Mr.. Gould received
another letter, stating that the money
fell to the family of Jay Gould. Not
long afterwards the king of spectators
sprang into prominence, and it is
thought owed his sudden rise in the
! financial world to the fortune bequeath-
ed him. John G. Gould was his great
grandfather. The Gould family of W hich
the Pendletonians mentioned are part,
descended from brother of the Dundee
ship-builder.

from taking up land in this part of the

proving up stared him in the face like a

Seattle Telegraph. We think that the
Sp okane Review is wrong when it says
that Seattle is set against the opening of
the Columbia river. Everything that
will aid in the development. the state
can count upon the support OF Seattle
even though it is to ne done elsewhere.
All that Seattle asks is something for the
general benefit of the nation shall not be
opposed merely because it will have to
be done at Seattle.

ACTIVITY OF THE PLANETS.

Gives Us Warm Weather and no Storms
With Frosts Until the 2Sth.
Rev. Ira Hicks in his Word & Works
thus forecasts the weather for August:
Storms having their rise the last two
days Of July will be disappearing to-
ward the Atlantic about the first. The
temperature will fall and the barometer
will rise as the storm conditions in the
eastward march move past any given
point. BY the 4th these conditions will
begin to change in the west: A very
warm wave will develop, attended by al
falling barometer and the appearance
Of the approaching storm. The period
will reach from the 4th to. 9th, having
for it's central storm days the 5th, 9Th
and It'll. Proper attention should be
given to threatening clouds on and
about these dates. Much buster, cleo
trical displays and some rain may be
expected, all to he more OF less relief
from heat and dust, during the days
intervening up to about the 18th. This
is the central day of reactionary move
ments, on which, and the days touching
it,except return to heat progressively
from the west, with storm culmina-
tions here and there in it's eastward
progress. Two or three more pleasant
days and nights ought to succeed the
buster of this reactionary period.
The 10th is the center of the central
August storm period. Therefore about
the 4th in the extreme western parts a
warm wave of great magnitude and
intensity will show it's head, widening
and growing in temperature as itlnears
the central parts of the continentabout
the 10Th, 18th and 18th. Storms Of wind
and thunder, are very apt to result
along the progress Of these storm con-
ditiOns, with here and there bursts Of
heavy rain. Should storms not make
their appearance from the 18th to 18th,
the warm wave will continue reaching
climax about the new moon on the
22nd. Again if heavy reactionary
storms do not appear about the.22nd OF
23rd, the heat will continue with una
bated intensity up to the next and last
period for the month. The planet Mer-
: curry passes it's central equinoctial day
on the 25th, and being felt for: a period
of five days before and five after its
central day. it Will reach both the reac-
! tionary days before, and the regular
, storm period to eollow, bridging the in
!. term. up to about the 9th with the
kind Of weatheH which may exist on
about the 23rd. We expect, rather
that heavy storms will result on an(
next to the 22nd, in which event the
!, heated term will be broken and cooler
cloudy days will follow up to the event
It of the last storm period. Watch all thu
angry Clouds. if such arise, about thu
22nd and 23rd..
The storm days, 9th to 3Oth, vii
have as factors in the resulting pheno

ter on the Goth, and the growing powe

and the crops having been killed by frost,
there IS no hope for relief, unless summer
rams should secure a light fall crop. The
loss OF stock, depreciation in value on all
kinds OF property, inability of ranchmen TO
procure money for payment of taxes, the
prevalence Of smallpox throughout the sec

KANSAS CHURCHES.

At Conway Springs twenty-five per-
sons we're baptized on Sunday at Slate
creek; all were members of the Baptist
church.
The Atchison Globe investigated the
Wednesday night prayer-meetings in
that city, and of the two thousand mem
bers in the churches visited only $50
persons attended the services, 209 of
whom were women and II men.
The Salina Republican has an inter
esting account of the laying of the cor
ner stone for the new Presbyterian
church. 1t adds: ''The church erection
will be carried on without any hesita-
ton. The building will be one of the
finest ornaments of the city. 1t will be
constructed of pressed brick with stone
trimmings. The cost, not including
glass, heating apparatus or furnishings,
will be $4,000.
Kansas City Gazette: A large COM
pany met in tho Third Baptist church
for the roll call of members. A letter
from b. W. Wiseman, former pastor,
was read, and other regrets were pre-
scented in writing and orally. j. b.
Warful gave brief sketch of the early
history of the church ten years ago.
The church is in very prosperous con-
dition. The present building is crowded
and a new one is in contemplation.
Some valuable additions have been made
to the membership, and general impe-
tus has been given to the machinery of
the church. The present membership
is 27O and additions are made to it every
week.
Wichita letter: Quite a disturbance
has been created in Presbyterian church
circles here by the summary dismissal
from the Lincoln street church of Rev.
W. P. Haworth because he became tenn
porary owner of lot of dogs, which he
took in on debt. A few Of the elders
took it upon themselves TO dismiss the
pastor, and his late flock are indignant.
Mr. Haworth has been in the ministry
for twenty years and had no intention
of leaving it for the business of dog
fancier. The dismissal, however, has
forced him to depend temporarily for 6
living on his dogs, and he has just issued

Santa Fe brings thousands of people to
Ottawa every year to the assembly, and

one Id NO AIlouea Kansas.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 2s.-Judge Brod-
erick is having an active correspondence with
the Hon Albert h Horton, of Kansas, con
corning the matter of Plumb statue in stat
uary hail, in the capitol building. Yeas ago
it was determined by congress to allow each
state two statues in this hall. So far Kansas
has none. At one time, as old-time Kansans
will recall, there was considerable cOnsidera-
ton given to the subject of honoring Sanator
Lane IN this way. But the rush IN Kansas
forced this topic to the rear very soon. Since
that time no one has been considered so
earnestly IN this connection as Senator
Plumb.
Judge Broderick estimates there will be
very little trouble here in making the neces-
sary arrangements to receive Plumb statue.
The most important feature depends on Kan
sas. II Is usually the custom for state to
provide, through its legislature, the funds
necessary. This Will require apprOpria-
ton of 5000 or $4,000. He thinks the ser
vices Of the late senator are quite ample to
cause the people of Kansas to approve of
such an expenditure. In his judgment no
one is more deserving of this honor. A
Plumb statue would represent a typical west
erner and the first thirty-ive years of Kansas
history in which the late senator played
so conspicuous part.
