A Walla Wala man about a year ago
started man out with band of sheep on
the range. A few days ago he received the
following from him: "If you want me to
remain here any longer you'll have to get
another band of sheep; them's all gone"
The Statesman says it is wonderful the
number of buildings now in course of con-
struction in Boise. Houses are going up by
dozens on every hand. The plans for De-
Lamar's hotel show a hotel building that
has no equal in the northwest. A large
opera house building is contracted for.
This is from the Blade, and should be
taken cum grano sails: Baker county will
produce IN the next two years more gold
than the whole state of Oregon has pro-
duced in the last twenty years. Keep your
eyes open ye willy capitalists, and a chance
will present itself for doubling your money
in shorttime."
Two little boys of Waitsburg, aged apout
ten years, conceived the idea of visiting the
great Inland Empire. One got as far as
Bolles junction and returned; but the other
journeyed on as far as Walla Walla, when
he was taken in charge by railroad en-
ploye, and ted and lodged. The next day
his father came, and the boy was quite
anxious to go home.
The remains OF Miss Ruth G.. Ward were

Astorian: Everyone interested in The
success of the new railroad, and that means
all Astoria, was pleased to see the Frank
fort come IN yesterday with barge laden
with 10000 pounds of giant powder, 25
wagons and 60 carts. There were many
head of mules and horses as well as thous-
ands of picks and s!iovels also on board.

ginning of the trouble; but know that boys
usually are too insulting to Cinnamon, aud
in many instances should be severely pun
ished by law for interference with the rights
| of CelestIals. They are residents in this
country, and should be protected.
Baker Democrat: Friday evening Sheriff |
j. n. Fell, of Malheur county, arrived in
this city having In charge Lee Mullen, one
OF the persons charged with the killing of
| William Humbert a few days ago, at West.
fall, that county. The prisoner was placed |
in charge of Sheriff Conde and he will re-
main IN the Jail here until The next session |
of the circuit court for Malheur county. |
The object of confning Mullen in the jail |
OF this county IS to separate him from his |

huence him as a witness in behalf of his |
partners In crime will be frustrated.
The Klamath Star gets off the following:
| The Klamaths have caught dead loads of |
| mullet this season. They dry them, pile |
them as high ss cordwood, and haul them |
| to their homes on the reservation for sum-
mer eating. The drying preserves them
finely, and when properly roasted and
served up with green corn and butter, they |
are 'hiyu muck-a. muck" for the good In-
| dian, and this flavor Is so pleasurable to the |
relish of the epicure that he breaks forth in
series of ordinations having no logical |
dependence or natural connection, though |
expressive of a joy that extends deep down
into his bowels.
Salem Statesman: The recent stabbing |
affray at Riddles, Douglas county, which |
resulted in the death of Chester Pogue, |
brother of M. E. Pogue, of this city, is the |
second quarrel between schoolmates that |
has resulted fatally at Riddles. Russell, |
| the young fellow who stabbed Rufus Quine, |
| in the first row that occurred there, was |
| sentenced to the penitentiary for seven |
| years, but was afterward pardoned by the |
governor. Arthur Wright, the l7-year.old |
| school boy that fatally stabbed Chester |
Poeue, was highly connected but was al |
ways of a quarrelsome disposition. Dick |
Swarts, of Salem, is his granduncle.
Considerable excitement has been occas-
ioned at Drewsy of late, says the Harney |
Times. by the disappearance Of Marion |
Anderson, alias ..Jesse James," young |
man who has been working for Thomas |
Howard. He started out on horseback |
| recently and a few days afterward the horse |
returned with the saddle on. A search |
party was formed which secured the coun-
| try far and near. His spurs and bride |
were found In an old deserted cabin. but |
the searchers could find no further trace of |
| him. Some believe he has been foully |
dealt with, while Others think he has |
skipped the country and took this method
of leaving to create a sensation.
AsotIn Sentinel. A snort time since
number of boys holed rabbit near the farm |
| of w. @. Boggan, in the vicinity of Mont
gomery ridge. Its hiding place was In
| ledge of loose shell rock, and while the boys
were making an effort to capture it, they
uncovered three skeletons, supposed to be
those of Indians. Beside one of the skele-
tons was an old gun, of the flint rock pat
tern, with piece of flint still in the pan.
The gun barrel was little rusty but the
wood work is still In good state Of preser-
walton. 1t was the custom among the In
dians up to sixty years ago. to bury their
dead in such places as this and also to de.
posit in the grave all their earthly effects
for future use when they arrived in the
happy hunting ground. But in this instance
it appears the fellow either didn't arrive at |
his destination, or else in his hurry forgot |
his gun.
The Australian ballot law makes it the |
duty of the county clerks of the state TO |
prepare and post notices of all offices to be |
| filled at any general or special election. |
County Clerk Payne, of Linn county in |
making up his notice for the coming June |
election, refused to place the office of attor.
ney-general in the notice as an office to be
| filled at such election. Consequently a
mandamus SUIT has been filed against Payne
to compel HIM to place such office in his
election notice. The case came before Judge
BOISE in chambers Thursday and he rem
dered decision without hearing any argu-
ment. He said he had occasion to look up
the law, and he ordered mandamus issued
directing the county clerk to place the
office of attorney general on the list to be
elected. Judge Boise said the governor
could not make appointments to extend be-
yond general election. The case will go
at once on appeal to the supreme court, and
an opinion may be looked for early this
week. Hon. ]. K. Weatherford and Judge
Blackburn appeared for the side represent
ing attorncy-general end Montanye &
Hackleman for the plaintiff.
