The following from the Baker Democrat
sounds very encouraging: The prospects
tor an era of prosperity for our cattle men
are excellent. Eastern buyers are securing
Oregon and Washington for everything for
three years and over. There have probably
been 10000 head shipped out this season /
and Monday one buyers checks amounting
to $2l 900 were cashed 10 this city, a fact
showing that this section has furnished its
quote of the number. For several years
past growers have been discouraged owe
the low price prevailing and stopped feed
ing to great extent so there is sure to be a
shortage soon. Whenever the shortage be
comes apparent then prices will begin to
raise.
dence, near Coiumbus on Monday the %
ceased was born in Missouri and was
pioneer Of Eastern Washington, having |
come to Khckitat county from the Fraser |
river 40 years ago. He was also a veteran |
of the Mexican war. He contributed his |
full share toward the development of the |
county, and leaves something behind him |
TO show he has been here. He was a man
of strong personal likes and dislIkes. ami |
while he had enemies, as such men always |
have. he had many warm personal friends.

Rev. John Finn in the Skamokawa Eagle
saws: "Talking about steamboat tes, In
1850 took my first ride on the C.lumbIa
river. 1t was on a little boat called the
Columbia. I remember that we had big
crowd on her,-over a hundred passengers
They charged me $40 gold piece for the
oassage from Astoria TO Portland. We left
Astoria in the evening without supper and
when we got to Oak Point about IL o'clock
that night, a number of US made rush
ashore to- get something to eat; but there
was nothing there aud we went on board
and pushed on for Portland. At noon the
next day we got cur first and only meal on
the passage. IL was grab game, tell
you. and We we're hungry lot when We
reached Portland late that night.
The fill account of the fatal electric car
accident was not as disastrous at first re
ported. Five bodies haye been recovered
rom the river, and every effort has been
lsed to ascertain whether any more fatali-
les occurred. The Euen,ng Telegram si es
very iull account of the unfortunate oc-
;urrence, and from that it appears there
we're eighteen or twenty passengers on
,oard, and the col ductor, seeing the dan
,er few feet from the gate, gave the warn
ny to jump, and it is hoped that all es
aped except the five mentioned It was
oggy, trostv u,orning. and the red light
ould hardly be discerned and the track
vas covered with ice. Perhaps the acci '
lent was unavoidable, aud censuIe shou d {
ot be made of those having the car IN j
barge until all the racts are known.
