Wheat and Flour.

The retail price Of -four is $3 30
per barrel, and No. wheat is 363
to 81 cents a bushel, a fact which
makes the farmer and other people
wonder a trife, 1t would seem to
the uniniated that wheat should
go up pretty soon or flour should
20 down, but there are no doubt
reasons for the difference that the
outsider wots not OF, Zone explana-
tion says the East Oregonian is
that flour is being ground from
wheat bought by the miller at q
time before the price had dwindled
to its present proportions, and the
home market must be kept up to
prevent losses. Flour sells at
home at a price considerably
greater than it commands for ex-
port.

The consequences of the rain are
seen in the condition of three car
loads Of grain shipped from Mis-
sion station to Pendleton and now
at the elevator there, says the East
Oregonian. A self-respecting hog
would refuse to dine on the con-
tents Of some Of the sacks, which
are filled with hard chunks oi
mouldy wheat, and all of it is more
or less damaged. The bad sacks
are being sorted out, and the re-
mainder is being run through the
elevator in the hope that it may
thus be improved.

Rather Slippery.

Louis Fordney, a cook who has
been employed at the French Res
taurant in this city for some time
past, struck Joe Lee, the Chinese
laundryman, terrific blow in the
face Saturday. The Cinnamon
swore out a warrant for his arrest
and Marshal Stamper served the
papers. The trial was set for
Tuesday and Justice Gilman fined
him $25 and costs, which amoun-
ted in all to $39, which amount,
owing to hard times he could not
produce. A little while after the
trial he eluded the officers and
made his escape. Deputy sheriff
Stamper knew he had some horses
out on the st. Dennis ranch and
went out there and laid for his
man, who sure enough in short
time showed up. James brought
him back to town and took him
down to Pendleton, where he land
ed him in the Jail.

ALoUIsANA HORROR.
During Terrible Storm Tidal Wave
Submerges an Island.

A special from New Orleans
says: The disaster at Grand Isle
and Cheniere is unparalleled in
this section. The first authentic
news came this morning when sew
eral survivors reached here. They
tell a heartrending story. A tidal
wave swept over the island, des-
troyed lives and property on all
sides. One hundred and forty-fiye
families are said to have perished.
The death list will run into hum
dreds.
Matthew Wertzez and Dominic
Mirgodrich, sailors, were rescued
by one of the luggers. The story
they tell of the disaster at Grand
Isle is horrifying in the extreme.
During recital of the scenes
of that terrible night they
wept bitterly. They said the sea
was rising all day, and increased
alarmingly toward night, About
10 p. m. the wind shifted to the
southwest. These men lived on
the west end of the island. Far
out at sea, as the flashes of light
ming Illuminated the darkness,
mammoth waves could be seen
travelling with wonderful rapidity
toward the island, accompanied
with a noise like thunder. On
came the terrible thing, growing
larger momentarily. The island
was wrapped In slumber. Tho
men were too frightened to go !
their homes, and remained in lae
boat during the terrible night.
Horri6ed, they watched the tidal
wave approach the island until it
struck. Then all was darkness,
and the island, as far as the eye
could reach, was covered with wa
ter. The next fash of lightning
the two fisherman found themselves
far north Of the island, and look
ing about could see nothing but a
sheet Of water, the island having
totally disappeared.
On Bird Island about $50 peo-
| pie lived, all drowned. On Grand
bank eight persons we're killed.
4 On Cheniere Island there are but
| five houses standing out Of q total
of about 300. The island is COW
cred with corpses.
i IG is now estimated that the loss
of life oil Grand Isle and Chaniere
and in Grand and Adams bay and
Cook, Chaton and Oyster Bayou
settlements will reach 800 to 1000.

pIscovered a Ledge.

Jas. Burbank, VIM. and Frank
Palmer of Fossil, Gillian county,
are in Long Creek this week, hav-
ing Just come down from an outing
trip in the Greenhorn country, near
Desolation lake. While in that
country, Mr.. Burbank discovered
a gold-bearing ledge near the lake
which from all appearance will
prove to be valuable property.
He had with him several pieces Of
ore in which gold was visible to the
naked eye. It is about Ave feet in
width, and is the most peculiar for.
nation in which gold has ever heen
found in this country, being to all
appearance volcanic formation.
Mr.. Burbank shortly after the dis
covery Of the ledge sent off orc to-
be assayed, receiving fattering re-
ports, and expects to receive COM
plete return in a few days. Judg-
ing from ore shown to an Eagle re-
porter, he certainly has an excel
lent piece Of property.-Long Greek

He Had Been Trying to Give Up His Seat
Gracefully bat Failed.
Were you ever crushed? I saw q nice
little fellow mashed into this collapsed
kind of state yesterday. and really
felt sorry for him.
He was polite, polished candidate
for manhood and social distinction, but
he was unlucky. It was on a street
car, and the seats were ali filed.
The car stopped, lady started to en-
ter, and pretty boy" hoped up before
she got her foot on the step, apparent
ly with the laudable intention of ten
dering her his seat. His will was good,
but just then an old gentleman near
the door rose to leave the car, and his
haste was all for naught
A shadow of disappoin tment fitted
across his brow, but it was followed by
a bright fash of hope, and he sat down
again. At the next corner almost the
same thing occurred, and the shadow
grew more pronounced, but the hope
full flash was still on deck
Two more blocks and a lady whose
avoirdupois was such as would make
two seats necessary for her comfort,
and "bub" thought he had sure thing
of it, but, alas, poor boy! he must have
been born under the dog star, Judging
from his luck, for two young ladies
rang the bell twice and left the car, as
the shadow in its fitting grew deeper.
and the fash Of hope panned out poorly
on the young Chesterfeld's rueful coun-
tenance.
He appeared to lose all heart then,
and turned his attention to winding his
legs around each other and con templat-
ing the panorama of the architecture
that was heaving into sight with pain
ful regularity. Thus lost in contempla-
ton that seemed to call out the full
strength of his thinker, he failed to no
tice that the car was filing up. when
he was suddenly brought 70 a realiza-
ton Of the situAtion by a market wom-

The prince did not take the trouble
to reply to this, but having embraced
and kissed the Delsarte professor for
the last time-not as an evidence of
affection, but in the way of a final re-
hearsal-he set of to call upon the
princess
She received him in the most charm
ingly matter-of-fact way and said that
she was quite ready for the test
The prince resolved not to be at all
affected by the consideration that in an
other moment the princess would be
able to decide whether she loved him
madly or could not endure him. He
determined to remember exactly what
the Delsarte professor had taught him,
pulled himself together. and pro-
ceeded
First he carefully put his left arm
about the princess waist-not toe
hastily. for the Delsarte professor had
impressed upon him that the essentia
element of all artistic motion, no mat
ter how seemingly active, is repose-
and then he took her left hand in his
right and kissed her-very artistically
for person who had had only two
weeks lessons.
But the princess only looked puzzled.
She stopped moment to consider and
then said:
Really, don't see that it has made
any difference. / certainly don't dis
like you, but don't know whether /
am in love with you or not any better
than did before
Let me try once more" said the
prince.
We'll" replied the princess, you
may try just once more -
So the prince embraced and kissed
her again. He kept himself well in
hand-this, 1t must be admitted, was

rather an effort, even though he was
so mstfer-of-fact-and got through In
even better form than before.
The princess stood looking distract
ingly chic and as fascinatingly matter
of-fact as ever.
II am very sorry" she said, "but !
am quite unable to decide. and so
think we had better consider it settled
that / am not to marry you"
At this the prince, being quite over
come with disappointment and morti-
fication, and rejecting that even if
he went back and took the en-
tire Delsarte course, even If he got
through in three years and q half,
the princess probably would have mar
ried some one else by that time whether
she were in love or not, as she had
three younger sisters just dying" to
come out, and as she was too generous
and high-miDded to handicap them by
hanging ON so long-rehecting ON all this
and being really tremendously in love,
the matter-of-fact prince quite lost his
head for once. He suddenly threw both
arms about the princess and gave her a
good hug, at the same time kissing her
in the most violent and inartistic man
ner. In doing this he stepped on her
dress and tumbled her hair and disar-
ranged the chiffon upon her corsage
most dreadfully.
The princess gave a little gasp and
blinked trifle and then sat down.
The prince, feeling that all was lost
and now quite beside himself with rage
and despair, said, very rudely: Well,
do you know any better nov?" be
then seized his hat and stick and was
about to rush out of the room, when he
happened to look once more at the prin-
cess and was transfxed with astonish-
ment by her appearance.
Her chin was qufvering IN the oldest
manner, the pink IN her cheeks was
several shades deeper than usual, and
there was an expression in her eyes
which the prince had never seen there
before, but which struck him as at
trsctfvs, although il was not at all mat
ter-o%faet He stood staring at her for
a moment and then the princess an
swered his rude question.
Yes" she said, Il have decided !
will marry you. although, of course.
you have behaved most shockingly."
