Tarrihla Snffarlng.

From the Corvallis Times Is cleaned a
tale of suffering and endurance of man
named James Webber, who, while in the
woods few days since In the vicinity OF
Alsea, was crushed to the earth by falling
stump. His leg was broken by the tree,
and with only one hand the other had
been amputated some time since-he map
aged to dig himself out with spade after
three hours unceaslng efforts, and crawled
to his cabin hundred yards distant. He
could not get in his bed; but pulled the
mattress and lay upon 1t until removed. In
this position, suffering the most excruciating
pain from his broken limb and with nothing
to eat but raw eggs. he remained from Sun
day until the following Wednesday even.
ing, when two neighbors fortunately called,
and carried him in litter distance of five
miles. A doctor was sent for, and reached
the sufferer last Friday morning, when the
fractured limb was set, and the patient
rested easily. The sufferings of Mr.. Web
ber during all this time can better be i'm.
agined than described.

Death of Mr.. ]. @. Mcfarland. !

a telegram was received yesterday by
Mr.. W. Il. Moody, announcing the death
of his father-in-law-Mr. j. G. McFar-
land-ln Los Angeles, Calf, that morn
ing. His death was quite sudden, al
though he had been in poor health for
many years; but it was not expected that
he would pass away so quickly. Mr.. Nc
Farland was pioneer resident OF The
Dalles, having first settled in this city in
1852. For time he engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits, afterwards was agent of the
Northwestern stage line, then in the en-
ploy of the o. S. N and .. R. 6 N. com
panles, but of late years has travelled for
the benefit of his health. He was aged
about 60 years, and leaves widow and
family of sons and daughters-all grown
to maturity-among whom are Mrs.
Moody, of this city, wife of Mr.. w. II.
Moody, son of Ex-Gov. Moody; Mrs. W.
R. Abrams and Mrs. E. c. Price, of EI-
lensburgh,s Wash; Mr.. Homer McFar-
land and Mr.. Frank Mcfarland, of Hepp-
ner, Ore, and Mrs. McEwan, wife of Rev.
W. l.. McEwan, of Portland. His aged
mother, wife and son Frank were with
him at the time OF his demise. Mr.. E. B.
Mcfarland, of Portland, Mr.. W. A. Nc
Farland, of Seattle, Wash, and Mr.. Chas.
Mcfarland, of White salmon, Wash, are
his brothers. Mr.. Mcfarland was an ex-
emplary and highly respected citizen, and
his family will receive the sympathy of
this COMMUNICATIVE whom he lived for
many years-In their sad bereavement.

her newly-made husband. They went to
Moscow, Idaho, where Mrs. White pawned
a gold watch given her by her mother,
and divided the proceeds with her friend.
The latter decided to go to Spokane, but
the runaway bride concluded to return
home. 1t is stated that the bride is will
ing now to join the husband whom she de-
serted, but the opportunity is not offered.
1t is the attention to ship her to the home
OF her grandmother, in Clackamas county,
IN the hope that reformation may be eff
fected, as she is not yet II years old. She
will be accompanied on the journey by
her mother.
Oregonian: Sheriff Lathrum and ex-
Sheriff j. NJ. Mclean, of Whitman county,
Wash, passed through the city yesterday,
having IN custody Edward Hill, who Is
wanted IN Garfield for the murder of Lang
ford Summers, committed on November lst.
Hill, who is cowboy, while intoxicated
fatally stabbed Summers. With Kent
Payne and the two MCGOWAN brothers, he
raised disturba in Garfield and defed
the officers to arrest him. Summers was
called upon for assistance, and was killed
while attempting to arrest Hill. The muir
derer fled, but his three companions were
arrested. He escaped to Phoenix, Ariz,
where he was captured and jailed. A few
days later he broke Jail and fled to the
mountains, where he was surrounded and
captured by the sheriff's posse. The Wash
lngton officials were then notified, and
Messrs. Lathrum and Mclean went to
Phoenix for the murderer, and paid the
Arizona sheriff the reward of $1,000, which
had been offered by their county. Hill will
be tried at Colfax. He is only % years old.

Boating on the Middle and Upper
Columbia.

From "reminiscences published in the
Salem Statesman we learn the following
regarding early steamboating on the Co
lumbia, on what is known as the middle
and upper river:
In 1862 the Peoples Transportation
Company was formed, and soon thereafter
built three boats TO run on the Columbia
the b. D. Baker, from Portland to the Cas-
cades; the Iris, from there to The Dalles
and the Cayuse, above The Dalles to Lew
iston, Idaho. Stephen Coffin was presi-
dent of the company, MIR. Kingsley vice
president, and Davil and Asa McCully
and E. N Cook directors. There were
stockholders in eugene, Albany, Salem,
Portland, and at most all the points on
the two rivers reached by the boats-65
stockholders in all. David McCully had
moved to Salem in 1858. The old Oregon
Steam Navigation Company was giving
the Peoples Company very stiff opposi
tion on the two rivers, and the latter was
In debt, so the secretary reported, some
$4,000. Asa and David McCully, E. N.
Cooke and Mr.. Church, of Salem, pro-
posed to raise $4,000, pay off the debts
and take mortgage on the company's
property. This was readily accepted. but
the debts were found to be about $65, 900,
and, had these four hackers realized this,
they would not have undertaken the ven
ture. In about three weeks the late w. s.
Ladd called on David McCully at the
company's office and proposed some deal
whereby the Peoples Company and the
o. S. N. Co. would not be cutting one an
others throats. as the latter company was
also losing money and in debt. The re-
suit was that In June, 1868, they (the Peo-
ple's) traded the Iris and the Cayuse for
the Onward and two other OF the o. S.
Ms Willamette boats, and got $4,000 to
boot

CITY Taxes.
THE,DAuEs. March 81. 1899

The NDALLEs, March 81, 1898.
| Editor TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
In the matter of the city's revenue from
taxation for this year, it seems affairs are
drifting along so as to leave US to pay a
double tax with interest added next year.
Now my idea is, for the council to at once
appoint an assessor and make, the levy; f r
if you wait to take 1t irop the county roll
you will get no tayes this year. As to
the authority there should be no question
but what we stand as before, for the
new law makes it obligatory to make all
levies from county rolls and repeal all laws
in conflict. This cannot effect anything but
general laws and not city charters, unless
specially mentioned. Our charter was pre-.
vious to the passage OF this act, and could
not effect it unless by direct mention. Take
for instance, the liquor license act, which
was of general application. 1t did not
effect chartered cities who had charters
issued previous to the act. they are
special acts, and we do not want to pay
taxes for two years at one time and interest
added, nor would the high rate look well
for the outside world. ACTION.

boards tubes, etc. 1t is fond in nearly
every part of the globe, including several
localities in our OVID state of Oregon.
East Oregonian: A horse dealer named
William Wright, from Livingstone, Mon
tana, was in Pendleton Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Wrights mission is to obtain prices on
horses with the idea in view of shipping
them s.across the pond for the use uf the
German army. About 200 head are wanted.
They are intended for light cavalry use, and
must be full of life and vigor, and weigh
between $50 and 900 pounds. A German
count, now at Livingstone, contemplates
making the shipment, and Mr.. Wright
comes IN his interests. The gentleman left
on the night train for the Heppner neigh
borhood.
Wasco Ne,cs: The Dalles Chronicle says
in a recent issue that large 4-story brick
hotel will soon be built in The Dalles, and
in an article regarding it, speaks rather dis
paragingly of the present hotel accommoda-
tions OF that city. A new hotel may be
benefit 70 the city, but no matter how many
hotels The Dalles may have, they cannot
decrease the popularity of the old UmaGilla
House. Col. SInnott is an old-timer, and
keeps the most pleasant and home-like
house in the northwest. No matter how
much opposition it may have, the Umatilla
will continue. in the past, to be the head

Mr.. R. 81. Menefee, an old resident of
Fifteen Mile, came in town to-day. He ar
lved at The DaIles IN 1852, after he had |
crossed the plains from the east. Since |
1855 he has esided in this vicinity. and has |
only been away three times, When he |
first reached this place he says there were |
only two buildings where the city now
stands one the store of the Hudson Bay Co. |
and the other double house built of logs
and used as hotel. There were at that
time soldiers stationed at the old garrison,
in consequence of the C.yuse war, which
had just broken out. The next time, he
came to The Dalles was soon after Major
Borland, at the Simcoe agency, had been
killed by the Indians, n 1855. Since that
time he has lived on his farm near Dufur.

Klnkakuii

Last summer young japanese called at
the Office, inquiring for work. He stopped
around the city few days. and had not
been heard of since until yesterday when
we received the following letter, Inclosed
with fine Photographic view of the old
temple:
This is picture of the Kinkakuji tmeans
Golden Temple) the model of which japanese
were gong to build in the worlds fair at
| Chicago; but they could not do it, because
the fair did not afford room enough tor it.
| This was built by Shotgun about 500 years
ago, who is next to the emperors by name,
| but real king by power. He became to dis
gust unfalthful, treacherous world and re-
solved to inherit his power to his brother.
He, therefore, built the temple, where he
retired to and pretended to take up the
habit of Buddha's priest; as he was not
wise, he built it luxuriously as much as he
can at the utmost of his influence.
Every part of it was so entirely covered
by GOLD, that it was called by the name, but
the time worn out it already; rains and
SHOWS of many years washed off the gold
from its roofs; many steps having visited
there scraped the color from floor. On these
days, we can recognize some yellowIsh colors
at the corners of roofs, floors, walls, and
ceilings.
Time did not take mercilessly off the
beauty of the temple, but he gave it to the
garden, the beauty and taste of which in
creased far more than old time. Generally
Japanese take great care of gardens.
They spend more money to gardens than
Houses sometimes, so that house only in
Japan does not make the whole of build
ing; it must always be house and garden.
The fair could not give room enough for the
gardens model. Trees and stones in the
garden were brought from everv part of
Japan; his fatterlng subjects did not scruple
to choice the best of the time.
Many grand trees are solemnly standing
yet, noble stones wearing some kind of robe, |
and small running streams is singing a |
little song. but their owner was gone very |
tar and they have no body now to pet them;
they used to hear merry music at olden
time, but no body does not let them enjoy
their ears at present, except their old friends
birds. Aha, time, cruel time.

They Differ In Details.

The bushranger of Australia and
our own western road agent have
objects and methods of business in
the main identical, but they differ in
minor details and in their distinctive
slang The unfortunate traveller who
meets western road agent is ''held
up" His experience with an Aus
tralian bushranger would be practi-
cally similar, except that he would be
'bailed up" while if he met one Of
the craft in New Zealand he would
be "stuck up."-Eew York Sun.

The Missing NarOnIc.

LIVERPOOL, March 30-Officials of the
White Star line regard as hoax the mes.
sage found on the beach at Ocean View,
Va, purporting to give an account of the
destruction of the steamer Naronic. As
to the name John Olsen, cattleman,
signed to the message. they say no such
person was aboard the vessel. and that
1t is improbable bottle thrown from the
vessel, where the vessel was at that time,
would have floated against the Gulf
stream to the point found.

A Mistake.

Of Dumas lie savant" a good story
is told. Nothing annoyed the great
chemist SO much as being mistaken
for the novelist. On one occasion a
lion hunting English lady, after prais-
ing him in the most ELUSIVE Ian
guage, and observing that she knew
every line of his writings, from
'Monte Cristo" to ''Mousquetaires, +"
added, II hope you will allow me to
send you card for my next soiree. t"
Madame, l am in no way connect
ed with the writer you allude to, {"
said the savant, with cold disdain
that no asinine, snub proof coat of
mail could resist. "Oh, I thought
you were the great Mr.. Dumas" ex-
claimed the bewildered lady.-Mrs.
