Ruling Against IA Pension Attorney.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Assistant At
torney-general Hall has rendered a de-
cision holding that after a pension is con-
ferred by Congress on a class Of persons,
every pension in that class is a money de-
mand against the government. This de-
cision is rendered in a case referred from
the Commissioner of Pensions to the As
sistant Secretary of the Interior, and from
him TO the Assistant Encouragement. 1t
is based on an inquiry of ex-Deputy Com
missioner of Pensions Lincoln, whether he
can. as an ex-employe, be recognized as an
attorney in claims which were pending
during his incumbency in office, in view of
Section 1870 of the Revised Statutes, pro-
hibiting ex-employes from prosecuting any
claim against the United States pending
while they were in office for a period of
two years after leaving the office. Com
missioner Lochren held that the section APP
piled to Lincoln's case, and with this the
Assistant Attorney-genera concurs.

OREGON WEATHER SERVICE.

The following is the weather report for
the week ending Tuesday, Sept 5, from
the central office in Portland:
EASTERN OREGON.
Weather-No rain fell during the past
week, and the temperature was decidedly
warm during the first days, and became
much cooler during the close of the week.
Many mountain fires caused the atmos-
phere to be smoky. The sunshine was
about the average.
Crops-Harvest is nearly over and
threshing is far advanced in the Colum-
bia river valley. Spring sown grain is
yielding below the average, as was ex-
pected. Late sown spring grain is poor
crop, yielding from twelve to fifteen
bushels per acre. All fall sown grain has
been threshed, and the yields were most
satisfactory; also the quality of the grain
is superior The second crop of alfalfa
Is being cut! 1t Is light crop. Farmers
will enter the e'winter season well supplied
with hay, as the first crops were large and
cured well. Hot, dry winds, which oc-
Cured on Sept. 1st injured corn and
fruit. Fruits are ripening rapidly.
Peaches are not plentiful, but of good
quality. Plums are of excellent quality
and abundant. Owing to depressed times
there is no sale for produce of any kind.
With increased acreage, as much wheat
was grown this year as in 1892. A COM
parison of depot receipts show that the
amount of wheat shipped will equal not
more than one-third the amount received
at this date in 1892.

The Mountain Fires.
Walla Walla Statesman.

The destruction of timber by fire IN the
Blue mountains above Walla Walla is said
to be very great. Wm. Fletcher, the well
known Linkton mountain saw mill proprie-
tor, reports that large tracts of timber have
been entirely destroyed and thousands of
cords of wood have been burned. In the
vicinity OF his mill for three days the
whole force of thirty men fought fire day
and night. 1t was terrible struggle, and
for most of the time the mill was in great
danger. On the south side of Fletcher
mountain, on the summit on the north side
OF Couse creek and the northwest of the
mill, the flames have made merry war on
the standing timber. Report has it that
several camping parties south of Cold
Springs were burned out. no lives being
lost. however. The wind has blown f1ercely
all the time, carrying large cinders 300 or
400 yards, making 1t all but impossible to
check the progress of the flames.

Exchange: Sheepherders in the vicinity
of Dark canyon, near Starkey prairie, re-
port to Pendleton parties a battle tor life
which occurred few days since between an
Indian woman and hungry bear. The
squaw was engaged in picking huckleberries
and left her pappoose in a shady place
among the bushes while she went about her
task. A bear found the child aud started
to carry it away, doubtless considering that
luck had thrown to its lot a very tender
morsel. The brave squaw fastened to the
defense of her offspring, and attacked the
beast with knife. A fierce fight followed,
resulting IN the poor woman's death from |
the claws and teeth of her vicious foe. The |
child had already been killed.

Crop Prospects.

Harvest is now in operation in this and
neighborpg counties, and the yield is very
encouraging. We learn from persons who
are in the city from Sherman county that
the average will be about Is bushels to the
acre, and in some places as high as 25 BUSH
els will be realized Headers are at work
in almost every field, and In few days the
grain will be harvested. Threshers have
been busy for some time and the crop is be-
ing saved as rapidly as possible. The mar
ket is not very strong, and 40 cents is the
price offered at shipping points in Sherman
county. This is cents less than is being
offered in this city, and undoubtedly con-
siderable of the wheat will be sold here.
For several years our farmers have reaped
small returns from their labors; but this
season they feel very much encouraged, and
if the price appreciates later In the season
will be in fair circumstan ees nothw1thstand-
ing the depression in business.

Suddenly, when near the base, his feet
slipped from under him and he fell. He
then discovered that his lower limbs were

that his entlre person was about to follow

grabs at the growing underbush about
him, succeeding finally in freeing himself
from his perllous position. He made his

Nay Coin the se,gnIorage.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "A most extra
ordinary rumor is current here, and Is
believed by congressman generally we'll
informed. 1t is to the effect that Secre-.
tary Carlisle contemplates coming the
seigniorage without any authority from
congress, under the general power which
be claims is conferred upon him to coin
gold and silver. The seignlorage In the
treasury amounts to about S51 900, 900
The secretary is very urgent to do this,
and it, seems to be the opinion he will
venture to do it, unless the president
shall disapprove of it,without waiting for
any affirmative action from congress.
This rumor seems astounding, and'it is
only repeated in that it receives general
credit. The secretary needs money be-
cause the customs receipts are falling off
and because the importers, in expectation
of reduced duties, are making no impor
tatlons.
