Hungry Coyotes.

The Grant county News says: Coyotes
on Grant county's southern border are
suffering for food. Jack rabbits outrun
them and escape over the crusted snow !;
rabbits remain on top while the wolves
break through and howl. The city
of Burns, when paid flying visit by
the News man last week was wallowing
in several inches of snow, and was dull,
from business standpoint. City gov
ernment, however, has aided the place
in making numerous improvements,
and when spring opens up in that Sec
tion the metropolis of Henry valley bids
fair to outstrip any inland town in com.

The Bonita.

The wrecked steamer Bonita, which
was carried down the Columbia from
Bridal Veil by the ice last week, was se-
cured few miles below that point and
safely moored to the bank, where she
will remain for the present. The Ockla
hama, which went out to save the de-
relict, was caught in the ice, and the
Reed had to go to her rescue. In the
meantime the Bonita drifted in shore,
and some farmers in that vicinity put a
line to her and hauled her in. The
wreck will eventually be brought to
Portland and the upper works removed.
The engines, boiler and smoke stack
were brought down soon after the wreck,
hnd slowed away in. the boneyard. -

The steamer Regulator will leave her

The parties engaged in killing deer
about the forks of the river are doing SO
deliberately, knowing it to be against
the law. We give them notice that
when the next grand jury meets every
one of them against whom the evidence
can be procured will be prosecuted.
The deer are poor, unfit for food, and on
account of the deep snow are helpless.
Their killing is wanton cruelty and will
mo doubt be punished as it should by
the guilty ones being sent to iail for
from six months to year.-Glacier.

TRIALS OF AoMEsTEApERs.
A Case Deserving of sympathy and
Assistance.

Uncle Sam is rich enough to give US
all farm," but to many homesteaders
the blessing is dubious one, and too
often deserving man, overcome with
the burden of supporting = family, at the
same time expending his energies in de-
veloping his place, fencing, clearing and
plowing virgin land, sowing, tending,
reaping littleor nothing the first harvest,
money constantly outgoing, credit ex-
hausted, nothing coming in, too often
the burden proves greater than ne can
bear, and he succumbs to dire fate that
in the beginning promised so much.
Bright prospects of happy home,
shaded with beautiful trees, well-filled
barns, stock grazing ON the hillsides,
children swinging in the orchard, all
fade as dream before the present reality
that he has failed, has devoted his best
energies to naught, poorer than when he
begani
Last fall a family consisting of hus-
band, wife and child, Custer, by name,
came from Astoria, and settled on upper
Mill Creek, about nine miles zdistant
from The Dalles. When the family ar
rived here they were spoken to by Mr..
Fisher. Asked by him where they
would stop he was told that he, did not
know, that he was destitute of means.
Mr.. Fisher invited them to his house,
where they stopped previous to moving
to their homestead.
Nothing was heard of them, until in
midwinter, when the cold and snow was
at the height of it's fury, Mr.. Custer ar
rived in town, his feet being clothed
only in gunnysacks, and appealed for
aid to Judge Blakeley. His tale was
pitiful. His family were destitute, and
for want of sufficient food, his wife and
child had first become poor, then weak,
and were now actually starving. Inn
mediate help was given and for several
weeks and up to the present time, but
not perhaps sufficient. The poor woman
is now in deplorable condition. She
is sick from the treatment he has under
gone, and connot reeuperate until she is
supplied with proper food and medicine.
Custer has been unable to find work
here, but states willingness to do any
thing.
Here is case deserving of aid, and
no doubt our kind-hearted people will
see to it that the family will have no
further need of the necessities of life.
The Dalles people are noted for their
charity.

Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to
wither at the north winds breath;
But thou hast all, all, seasons for thine own'

John Furgeson, aged 13 days.
WORD OF coMFoRr.
AS with saddened hearts we gather,
Round the form of one SO dear;
Rudely taken from our circle,
What has left our hearts to cheer.
Kindly words in vain are spoken,
Mingled tears assuage not grief;
Lovely flowers and sweetest music
To our hearts bring no relief.
For we see our loved one lying
Silent in deaths cold embrace;
And where ERE we look with sadness,
We behold his vacant place
In our hearts one vital question,
Which with words we dare not frame;
On 1t all our hopes are centered,
Shall we ever meet again2
Who can answer this great question,
Only one, our heart replies;
He who burst deaths bands In sunder.
He who reigns above the skies.
From the book by God inspired,
Come these words our hearts to cheer;
Marvel not, the hour cometh,
When the dead shall all appear.
For our Lord will come in triumph,
And the trump of God proclaim
Liberty for all rth's captives,
Life for those whom death has slain.
Then the dead in Christ tbs written,
Shall be raised no more to. d1ei
And with those who have longer waited
Meet their Saviour in the sky.
Pledge of God, q resurrection,
This alone our hearts can cheer;
And we hail with Joy the tidings,
