The price of horses-of a certain class,
very small, or medium sized ones-in
Eastern Oregon, may be judged from the
fact that A. M. Kelsey of Antelope was
offered few days ago, Sc head, mostly
mares, for $40. He did not buy them

small horses.
The steamer E. d. Baker left today for
the upper cascades to bring the old o. Il.
N. wharf boat to The Dalles, if she will

hull will be built up under the old house
and the railroad company will have
another elephant on its hands.
The old pioneer steamship of the Pa
cific, the first to turn a paddle in this
Ocean, sc years ago, went to pieces of
old age inlVictoria harbor yesterday, oc-
casioned by the swell of the passing str.

you performed your duty in Your day
As Hon. Robert Mays was passing up
Second street this forenoon with hand
full of green backs, exposed to view; he

other patriotic citizens, stands in with
the committee.
