Arlington Record: Monday morning
Jehu Switzler, of Umatilla, had brought
from Klickitat 277 head of horses, which
were taken across the ferry at this point,
loaded In about 40 cars and shipped east.
We could not learn to whom they were

they were purchased here or not, or the

secured jailed. This morning they were in

The fremen who arrived on the midnight
train made Rome howl for awhile They
were feeling Jolly; had been treated like
princes, and secured the object Of their visit
to Portland, and their souls were full Of
glory and found vent In loud vociferations.
The freedom OF the metropolis was granted

successful, although Oregon City was very

The Salton lake. that great body of water
which covered so large part Of the Colo
RADIO desert. after an overflow Of the Colo
RADIO river, and which many people supposed
had come to stay, has now entirely disap-
'peared, but wonderful sea of verdure now
marks the place that was once barren sand.

the so-called desert is susceptible of high
cultivation, and under system of storage
reservoirs may become thickly peopled.
Salmon near the rapids are very plentiful,
and the river is literally darkened by the
myriad of fishes congregating in eddIes.
Cello is the place from which George Fran

a million salmon within a stones throw, and
where Col. Sinnott performed the wonder
full pedestrian feat OF walking across the
river on the backs of them. This state
ment has never been verified by any eye

spirits that walked were angels dare not
