shipment reached 244 crates of "a box
each, or 1856 boxes, which, OF IA cents, Il
average price, would mean SSl9.S4. II
cold weather has cut the yield, or it wou
have made by this time 400 crates. whiC
number will probably be reached next wee

Arlington Record: Mr.. Ellis accompanied
by his family and Dr.. Geisendorfer went &
his home IN Heppner on Friday evening
train. E A. Nelson, the driver, is probabl,
more seriously hut than any one, as 1t Is
feared that he is internally injured in addi-
tion to having about twenty stitches IN bi:
scalp and face caused by becoming entangleC
in a barbed wire fence.
AdUance: VIM. Elkins, os this city, wa:
accidentally shot In the forearm last Mon
day. He and Phil Ritter were out hunting
with taget gun, when the weapon was ac
cidentally discharged, the bail entering the
forearm just above the wrist, passing
around the bones and lodging just under

Der. DR.. Foley extracted the ball and

Moro Observer: MIss Emma Mcneil re
turned to her brothers home in Sherman
county this week from a five years sojouru
as a missionary in Africa. Miss Mcneil

and outstanding the heather tribes over

Condor Globe: Daring the last week sew
eral accidents happened In tais sectioa,
none of which resulted disiistrously how
ever. Assessor Mason was thrown off his
horse on Beecherhat few days age, which
laid him uD' several days at the hotei; Geo.
Knox was kicked by horse Saturday, and
was unconscious several hours; and Billy
Mack was also thrown from horse and
Eurt. All haYe recovered again.
Globe: All is thrift and enterprise az Con
don, aud We feel safe In making the asser-
tIon that there isn't better or liveiier town
west of the Rockies-or east either-for its
size. No one will make mistake by in
vestine their money in property that is iu--
creasing in value as rapidly as it is at Con-
don. There is still room here for q great
many more business enterprises OF all kinds
Build and go into business here while prop
erty is yet cheap.
Glacier: Constable Olinger stopped a
youthful couple of runawaYs, brother and
sister, last Sunday. They were from the
Cascade Locks, and the girl, aged about Is.
had dressed herself in suit of her brothers
clothes, and the two were riding blind bag
gage for the east. They were taken off the
train aud sent home at once, where, if they
knew anything at all of the uncharitable
world. they would stay.
Fossi! Journai A strong east wind last
week biighted the splendid prospects OF the
Shutter Flat farmers, by burning up II large
portion of the grain. Fields which promised
phenomenally large yield will now only
produce fair crops-not even up to the
average. fortunately the wind changed to
the west, aud the weather turned cool; else
the whole Schuttler wheat belt would have
been destroyed. In this end of the county
we have had more moisture, and grain sus-
tanned little if any damage.
Albany Democrat: Yesterday Ed David
son and J. II. Campbell We're tearing down
a. barn for Chas. Pfeifer on the Rogers
place, recently purchased by him, when the
structure took premature tumble, burying
Mr.. Davidson under the debris; but fortu-
nately the timbers fell in such a way as not
to touch hun much, leaving HIM opening
in which to lie. Several men removed the
pile covering him and found him niDjured,
thought it was at first thought he must be
killed.
Baker City Enquirer: Barclay and Gale,
the two highwaymen, were convicted at
Union for the robbery of the store
at Sparta and sentenced each
to fifteen years in the penitentiary.
Barclay, when asked if he had anything to
say regarding why sentence should not be
passed upon him, replied that "the good
people of Union county would yet change
their minds and declare me innocent.J 1t is
an unjust conviction, as am entirely lnno-
cent of the charges preferred against me-
A tramp Sunday morning was caught be-
tween two of the carriages of the west
bound passenger train at Willows. and was
very badly injured. He was brought to the
city, lodged at the Umati!ia House, and DIR.
Doane, the Co.'s surgeon called. who at
tended TO his injuries. 1t seems the young
man was without money or friends, and
was attempting to get to Portland. He had
been riding on the top of the coach, and
becoming chilled, attempted to climb down
aud secrete himself between the coaches;
when he was caught by the projection on
the cars.
Union-Journal: Early Sunday morning
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthews, of Eureka Flat,
drove into town with their little nine-year-
old boy, who had the thumb and fore
finger of his right hand blown off by the
explosion Of giant powder cap about 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The boys
forehead was also badly burned and he had
a wound in the roof of his mouth. DR..
Shaw was called on, but decided not to
dress the wounds until later in the morning.
The boy will probably lose his thumb and
fore6nger.
Dufur Dispatch: Now is the time for
farmers to do good work on tho farm.
The land that has been plowed for summer
fallow, and on which some of the volunteer
grain is growing that was not turned under
by the plow. is now, under th quickening
impulse of the late rains and warm wealth
er, starting up all the weeds. and if left so
growing they will draw nearly as much
moisture from the ground as a crop OF oats
or wheat, and the weeds will seed the
ground All this may be saved by harrow
ing the ground thoroughly, killing the
weeds, and cultivatlng the ground. SO as to
keep the moisture for next years crop.
Johnnie Stelling. the messenger boy of
the Western Union Telegraph Co., met with
an accident this morning which might have
resulted fatally. He was driving horse
attached to a wagon on Liberty street,
when the animal became frightened at a
passing vehicle and ran against team tied
at the corner of Union, turning the wagon
over with the boy under it, and the foot of
the horse missed him by only a few inches.
Johnnie was taken into Floyd & Shown's
drug store, and DIR. Eshelman called. After
examination the physician found no bones
broken, and the only apparent injury was
bruise on tie hip. In few days he will
be able to be around, but his escape may be
almost miraculous.
