ana now 1t turns out that FeGe french,
the Harney millionaire cattleman didn't
die as reported. He is said to be alive
and still fencing in with barbed wire,
whatever he finds lying around of the
public domain loose in his region,
"A New York man robbed woman's
pocket of $175 while on ferry-boat.
While extremely cul lpable for the theft,
he is to be congratulated on having found
woman's s pocket. Dime-museum man
ayers are said to be hunting for him now.
Atno time since January 1880, was
the barometer near so low in The Dalles
as reported Yesterday, Then it was
% 60, on the 9th. The storm indicated
by this low reading was the most severe
in northern California Saturday and
Sunday
| The reported death of Okanogan
Smith was somewhat premature. The
last word from him is to The effect that
he is not now in immediate danger. He
thad been sick for some time and had
recovered sufficiently to attend to his
duties when he was taken with re-

last evening at the residence of Mrs. G..
~-Grandall. evening was very
pleasantly passed in discussion OF the
topics for the evening. Those present
were Mesdames s. L. Brooks, B. s. Hun
tington, M. IT Mullen, L. E. Grove, c..
Donnell, A. Grey, Miss Mary Frazier,
Mr.. H. H. Riddell.
The storm isistill furious in California
Today, and telegraphic communication
with the interior is so demoralized that
FSan Francisco and Sacramento are com
/ pletely cut off. How very few countries
kthere are where the barometer. gets
Edown to 29.03, as it was here Sunday
that people don't hunt the cyclone cell

is taken of the incident as anything be-
yond the ordinary. z H4r r.tfs
Tommy Ogden, Portland boy who
mas followed whaling in the Arctic ocean
tor sixteen years, is, on visit to his old
n home. OF the catch and value OF whales
2Ogden says: cat the present prices fol
kwhalebone, and the scarcity of whales
& three of them is fair catch for one sea
son. Three whales will ordinarily yield
from q, 900 to 5000 pounds OF more o.
whalebone. worth about $3.50 per pound
, and about 80 barrels of oil, worth ST.

worth about $11 ,0Oo."
Sheriff Tom Ward, is a Judge sitting or
the bench in the county court room to-
day trying case against Jim White

of property. Mr.. Ward fills the position
With dignity; but he evinees osome jeal
onsy toward the court upstairs, because
Judge Bradshaw attracts the fair se1
more numerously than he does. Fl,
1tpnly had one woman attending his ses
kion this rorenoon, while Judge Brad
shaw has all the way from so to 200 al
Feach session. Judge Ward thinks o
having some ladies notified officially
that he is holding court himself.
Crook county people are discussing
the advisability of Offering bounty fol
coyoter scalps: They are SO plentiful
that cattle raisers find them KILN,
young calves on the range, and farmers
in some localities claim that it is i'm
possible for. them to raise poultry OF
their farms on account Of the ravages o

t So it seems that all industries of thi

reasonable bounty be offered for thei
scalps, sufficient to induce people to e4
