Bro FtsH.-Last Saturday Alder

Losset went "bobbing" in the
Tchefuncta river, and while Mr..
Losset Was handling the bob he got
. ''strike" which proved to be .
regular ten-strike-in fact double
tenner. The fish was firmly hook
ed, and owing to its gameness they
were compelled to give it play,
and in doing 30 it pulled their boat
about in al directions, Gradually
drawing him in, they finally got
him TO the side Of the boat, and
reaching over, they grasped him
BY the gills and took him in .'out
Of the wet" It proved to be q
handsome rock fish, over three feet
in length, and weighed Eli pounds.
They brought it to town and placed
it On ice, where it was viewed by
many, and was the ''envy Of all OBJ
servers" It was caught with .
small No. 2 Buell. bob. Messrs.
Frederick and Losset now enjoy
the reputation Of having caught the
largest and finest fish. with . bob,
that has been caught in the Tche-
functa river since ssbefore the war. -

THREE JUNES.

Thy RANT bells, o radiant June!
Have tangled strangely out Of tune
Since Arst I walked at early morn,
Glad that my month Of months was
born.
For long I've held thee doubly dear,
Crown jewel Of the cycling year.
Thea what can make thy dawn appear
Less lovely than OF oldI
It's passing strange, but looking back
TO other Junes along LIES track,
Thy fullness seems somewhat TO lack
OF their perfected bliss.
These skies are not the same that bent
Above me, when child I went
On voyages through upper seas
From greensward couch meath apple
trees
OF old home orchard, loved 50 well
At fair but far Oh Tangle dell.
Somehow the trees have lost the sheen
They used to wear, of liveried green.
TIE roses by the garden wall
Bl1sh not the same sweet pink 1t al.
The buttercups no longer hold
Their wealth Of shiny. yellow gold.
Methinks the very birds forget
The tunes to which their songs were
Get.
That June day remember yet,
When, lettering in the maiden-lane
With one I may not see again,
Our hearts kept time to lightest lay,
Nor feared the parting Of the way
Which fate had planned.
One path led up to amaranth bowers,
One to this sweet Southland of flowers.
Perhaps 'twere better 80, who knows!
The one who stays-the one who goes
Each following aEurysthean voice,
Yields blind obedience without choice
when Fate DEGREES.
But what has Fate to do with this
Sweet subtle something which miss?
Why Is my vision holden SO
From things used to love and know!
IL It that We must Ill outgrow
Lies glamour.timel

Have passed from June to LIES July,
And IL the giareo Of it, broad noon
See only in mirage my June,

A Few Mining Notes.

The following mining news is taken from
the columns of the Long Creek Eagle:
The Back Butte Tunnel Company are
still pushing operations on their property in
Fox. Ore ledge has been discovered. but
no assay of the rock has vet been made.
The company anticipates tapping rich
ledge before work is suspended next May.
The Stevenson, Scott & Smith Company
are making arrangements to erect two arras.
tras in the spring to work the ore taken
from their mines near Susanville. The
Eagle is informed that their quartz gulch
ledge is showing up well, and that they
have large quantity of rich ore taken from
it.
Smith Bros, of Susanville, have two
hands at work on the Princess mine. They
have been doing some repair work on the
outside, but are at present ready to enter
the tunnel. with a view of tapping the ledge
at short distance. The Smith Bros have
expended considerable money in developing
the Princess ledge, and have hopes of get.
ting out some good ore this winter.
A letter recently received from Jack Coyle
In Greenhorn is to the effect that men are
daily arriving at Granite. and that the out
look for big boom in that camp during
the coming year is bright indeed. Mr..
Coyle has not had great faith in that camp
in times past, but now believes that it will
soon become the largest camp on the Pacific
coast Let's all hope that MIR. Coyle's pre-
dictions will prove correct.

of the entire number about Is arose. Their
MIR. Mcdonald asked all who had read the
notice in the newspapers and had been in
huenced by them to rise, and the crowd
rise in body.
Judge j. c. Summer and Deputy Sheriff
Cohrs, of Crook county, came in the city
last evening with an insane man from
Prineville. The name of the unfortunate
person is Edward Cox, and insanity was
produced by violent attack of typhoid
fever. He was found wandering around
aimlessly in the streets of Prineville and
Judge Summer had an examination and
found him insane. Cox is restless and
wants to be moving all the time, imagining
that men are imposing on him. Judge Sum
mer said that he was quiet and tractable
until be came to The Dailes, when the bus
tie uf the city appeared to make him un-
easy and to want to keep away from the
crowd. He is about 45 years of age, un-
married, and has for some wears worked on
a farm in the vicinity of Prineville.

seems, ran on ahead, but Edwin renamed

Caught IN a Snow Slide.
Dayton Inlander.

Dayton lnlander.
The heavy wind last Saturday night
and Sunday morning completely swept
the hills clear of snow and pile! it up
along the brow of the hills so as 10 form
enormous..snow drifts. In order to pro-
tect themselves from the storm several
head of cattle belonging 10 }. N. Thomp
son sought shelter along the side of the
steep hill south of this place, and, by some
means, two of them lost their footing and
slid down the hill going over bluff of
rock about 200 feet high, being instantly
killed. In a short time Mr.. Thompson
and ed hand started out to look after
his cattle, and In going below large
snow Drift 1t gave way, rushing down the
hill and carrying the two men with it, a
distance of about 800 feet. From some
reason they stopped in some small brush,
just above high ledge of rock over
which if they had fallen they would have
been instantly killed. Mr.. Jas. Bradford
and Mr.. Drysdale happened to be looking
out of the window, watching them when
they started TO slide, and started out to
give aid. Mr.. Thompson and the other
man, whose name we have not learned,
managed to craw back to the top of the
hill on their hands and knees, and were
pulled up oyer the snow drift by rope,
which MIR. Bradford and Mr.. Drysdsle
let down to them. MIR. Thompson got his
face bruised up some and otherwise sus-
tanned some injuries, but we have not
heard at this writing how seriously. 1t
was very close call and only wonder
that they were not both dashed over the
ledge and killed.

A VERY Severe Winter.

The severest weather In the northwest
during the present winter has been ex-
perienced IN the region in the northern
part of Washington in the vicinity of the
Columbia. There is quite a number of
people Lying there,and Coulee City is the
principle town. The distance from Cou-
lee City to the river at Port Columbia is
forty-five miles, and it is stated that there
is but one building along the entire route.
This is the half way station, where the.
fresh horses are kept for the stages.
Tuesday afternoon the stage arrived at
Coulee City carrying the driver and one
passenger. The driver was badly frozen
and was hardly able to guide the horses
to the hotel. The passenger was found
inside the coach almost frozen TO death.
He was in stupor and became dellrous
as soon as he was placed in a warm room.
The driver also lost his reason soon after
arrival, and both are now under the care
of physician. 1t is thought their lives
can be saved.
Thursday night another stage arrived
from Port Columbia. The driver sat
nearly erect upon the box, holding the
reins In his left hand The horses trotted
to the door of the hotel, and after the
landlord had removed the mail and bag
gage, the team passed on to the stables,
stopping at the usual place. The stable
boys started to unhitch them, but motto
ing that the driver did not respond to
their questions,o ,one of them climbed upon
the stage. He then saw that the driver
had been frozen to death at his post, and
still held the reins in his frozen hand
with the grip of a vice. He was held to
the seat by mass of mingled ice and
snow. The ice was broken and the reins
cut In pieces, when his body was re-
moved to the hotel. The funeral will
take place as soon as the weather permits.

The Train Wreck.

| The terrible train accident which hap
pened Monday morning on tine Union
Pacific near Olds Ferry, Idaho, to the
east-bound passenger train, was costly
to both life and property. The engine
and mail car kept the track, but the bag
gage, smoker and chair cars went down
an embankment about forty five feet,
the baggage car being partly submerged
| IN the waters of Snake river. The accl-
dent occurred at about :45 A NJ. and at
a time when nearly all the passengers
were asleep or drowsy.
The only passenger killed was little
Lizzie Egan, aged twelve years, who was
accompanied by her mother and four
other children on their way to Minneapo
lis. She was asleep at the time of the
accident and was pitched out of the car
window by the jar and the weight of the
car as It fell over on Its side broke the
child's neck. She only lived few
minutes. An elderly gentleman received
bad internal Injuries and cannot possible
recover.
OF the other passengers, about twelve
we're injured, some of them more or less
seriously. The baggage man was badly
cut and pruised.
The Putnam and dining cars left the
track but did not go down the embank-
ment.
Physicians from Huntington were
quickly taken to the scene and did much
to relieve the injured.
Several theories are advanced as the
cause of the accident. Passengers say
it might have been a split rail, spreading
OF the track or too high rate of speed.
They all wonoer that the whole train did
not go into the Snake river, In which
case every person on the train would
have been drowned. Had the engine
left the track this would have been the
result.
Harry Friedman, travelling repre-
sentative of Wadhams & Co., of Portland
was a passenger and occupied seat
directly back OF the little girl that was
killed. When the crash came he caught
hold of his chair and thus saved himself
from being thrown beaGlong and sus-
taining injury. The child oeing asleep
at the time was unconscious of all dan
ger and was thrown out of the window
without any attempt on her pait to stop
the movement.
Those most seriously injured are Mrs.
Kehoe, of Portland, Or, who was caught
under one of the chairs in such man
ner that her feet were doubled up under
her and her head resting on them; she
was in such a position that she had to
be cut out with axes; j. G. Rodell. of
MINI and j. L. Lewis, of
Corvallis, Or, were seriously injured
though not farally.
Among those suffering from slight
bruises are W. E. Grement, of Weiser,
Idaho, o. B. fps, of La Grande, Or,
and John Cullan Daniels, of Huntington,
Oregon.
The baggage master was burned oD
the head. arms and hands by the Goals
from the stove, and was only saved
rom fearful death By the car going
into the Sake river as above stated.
