Mr.. Yowell retired about 7 o'clock but was
soon awakened by the sound of the fire.
On arising he found his barns enveloped in

farming machinery were consumed. Loss

Tuesday. All that remains to be done to
open the reservation IL to make a treaty

doubt have bill passed next session to

cannot be delayed much longer.
Next year at least, will surely see the lands
thrown open for settlement, says the
Lewiston Teller.
La Grande Chronicle: A good word of
comes from the North Pow
der section, which has this year been re-
warded with the largest harvest ever known,
both in quality and quantity. 1t is stated
that there is not farmer in that whole Sec
tion who will not be able this year to
cancel all his Indebtedness from his seasons
crop. This happy condition of sffairs is
due both to a splendid yield and to the fact
that the people as rule have not been very
deeply involved. In fact, there are not
very many poor people to the square mile IN
any part of Union county.
An advertisement has appeared in the La
Grande papers for the past few weeks in
quiring the whereabouts of young lady

girl was traced to, and found, at the house
Of Mrs j. G. Clayburn, few days ago,
where she had been secreted for the past
two weeks. Mrs. Clayburn was arrested on
. warrant issued on the instance of the
girls father. The case came to trial and
Mrs. Clayburn waived examination. She
was placed under bonds to appear before
the grand jury. The case promises to be
oue of sensational nature.
Moro Observer: There is at this Office for
signature petition addressed to congress
praying for an extension of the time in
which payment should be made on Rail
road" claims. The petition Is already being
signed and if our representa- |
tives at Washington will urge the passage
Of relief act granting the extension asked
for, they will place the settlers on these for |
feited lands under everlasting obligations. |
The petition asks for an enlargement of the |
lime of payment at least two years. The |
petition should be favorably received by |
congress-, as it will work a great hardship |
IN many of the settlers if they are required |
% make payment next year.
