Governor Pennoyer Back.

At late hour last night his excellency
Governor Pennoyer returned home via the
Union Pacific railroad from tour of in
spection for site for the proposed branch
insane asylum, upon which he had been ac-
companied by State Treasurer Phil Nets
chan.
A Telegram reporter detailed to inter
view the governor caught that gentleman
''on the wing" just as he was about enter
ing his residence. His excellencY looked
tired, and was reader to go to bed than to
be subjected to reportorIal interview. Yet
he answered q few questions with his GUS
tomary urbanity. He said;
"We visited Baker, North Powder, UniGn.
La Grande, Elgin, Pendleton and Heppuer.
ALI those places offer fine sites for the asy-
lum; but we have not yet decided as to
which one to select. Next week we shall
visit The Dalles. After returning from
there we shall take our future course under
advisement."
The governor felt disinclined TO say much
on this subject, as he apparently felt that it
would be premature. Hon. George W. Nc
Bride, secretary of state, the third commis-
sioner, did not accompany the party by rea-
son of illness. The governor said the press
need not expect much information upon this
subject till the commission has positively
settled upon site.

Petty Thafts.

Fossil Journal: A sneak thief is IN our
midst. Tuesday night. while Mr.. E. White
head was asleep In his house in town, the
thief slipped MP to Mr.. WhItehead's cabin
on his homestead, broke open the door, and
carried away over 100 pounds of provisions.
Mr.. Whitehead discovered the robbery
early next morning when ne went up to his
cabin to cook breakfast and found the door
open and nothing left to cook. The ground
was very soft and the track Of man afoot
was easily discernible In the mud, and Mr..
Whitehead informs us that he followed the
track clear to the house of the thief. As
the things stolen were Of kind not easily
proven, Mr.. Whitehead did not get out a
warrant. No doubt the thief observed Mr..
Whitehead following and measuring his
tracks, and was afraid of a search warrant,
SO, waiting for darkness the following even
ing, he carried the stolen goods down the
creek and hid them under Thompsons
bridge, where they were found next day by
Mark Enyart who returned the articles to
Mr.. Whitehead. There has been considera.
BILE petty thieving in this vicinity of late'
and we are glad that the thief has been
spotted. He will be watched very closely
from this on and if he doesn't henceforth
walk very straight, we fear the town viii
not be quite large enough to hold him.

An Alarming Increase.

NEW YORK, March 24-While the
health authorities were congratulatlng
themselves that New York would be
spared visit from the influenza this sea
son, the dreaded disease has already
come. aud was settling on the city, the
weather giving it irmer hold. For the
first 10 weeks of 1898 only Is deaths
were put under the head of influenza and
la grippe For the week enGing March
18, II deaths from the disease were re
corded. This includes all the cases of la
grippe simple, and none of the conplica-
tions such as pneumonia or phthisls form,
For the corresponding week of 1892 only
nine deaths mere attributed to tine cause,
two less than this year. In the last four
days there have been 12 deaths from la
grippe. Yesterday there were five. The
other deaths included 3S from pneumonia
II from phtbisis and seven from bronchi
tis,- all of which diseases are Influenced
more or less by Ia grippe. This makes a
total of 62 deaths yesterday from pull
monary and respiratory troubles, out of

w agon-Road Cases.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24-The clerk
of the United States circuit court of app
peals has received information of the
governments intention TO dismiss Its
case against the Willamette Valley &
Cascade Wagon Road Company. The
case is one of several of the same cbarac
ter in which the government sought to
recover large tracts of lands IN Oregon,
which had been granted by the United
States to aid tbe construction of wagon
roads. The government claimed that the
roads were not constructed In accord
ance with the act of congress making
the grants, and that the patents to lands
were obtained by fraud. The defense of
the corporations which now own the lands
was that they purchased in good faith
from original grantees without knowledge
of the fraud. This defense was sustained
by the supreme court few weeks ago
in the cases against the California &
Oregon Land Company, and The Dalles
Military Road Company, and In view of
that decision the government considers 1t
useless to prosecute Its appeal in the re-
naming case.

street fight Is looked for every day be-
tween the Rev. Sam Jones, the evange-
list, and the Rev. Dobbs. the Baptist
pastor. A teud of many years standing
has existed between the reverend gentle
men, and was intensified by the scandal
which culminatedin church trial last
December, in which the Rev. Washburn,
the Methodist pastor, wus acquitted,
Dobbs SAID be had been whitewashed.
On the occasion of the investigation,
some unsigned letters had been sent to
the Jones family, the authorship of
which was attributed TO Washburn by
Dobbs. Lately DoDbs has renewed his
criticisms, and this led to sermon by
Jones last Sunday, which has been the
talk of the town. Jones, aftek defying
Dobbs, denounced the accusation against
Washburn as "damnable lie." The
preacher was loudly cheered. It IS de-
nj led by the preachers themselves, but it
is asserted by their close friends that
both carry pistols and are ready for self.
defence. The scandal has extended to
the churches, and neither Baptists nor
Methodists speak as they pass by.

has been opened recently. Large guam
titles of oil have been coming down the

here set the oil on fire Monday night at
$3.50 o'clock. The fire spread across the
creek and started down stream in a flash
producing sheet of flame nearly 20
feet high. Soon Bethany was in circle
of flame, and the creek looked like SER
pent of fire nearly two miles long. A
dense smoke which nearly suffoested the
people of Bethany arose. At the end of
two hours every road was blockaded with
wagons containing persons who had
come in for miles to see the fire. Not un
til "a hours had elapsed did the flames
die out. rbe Bethany college students
enjoyed the excitement very much. The
water in the creek was nearly boiling
when the fire bad gone out; and when 1t
had sufficiently cooled more than 100

For the information of the public paper
gives the following as the rights on the
public highways in towns and cities: "The
streets belong to teams and vehicles, and
pedestrians have no more business upon
them than the teams would have upon the
sidewalks. The crossings at the street
corners belong to pedestrians, who have the
right of way there, by law. as against teams.
Many drivers ignore the law and go dashing
over the sidewalks, endangering lives and
limbs of pedestrians, without thinking that
they are violating the law. No vehicle or
horse can, within the law, be driven rapidly
over the crossings, nor can the driver OBJ
struct the crossings"
Oregon City Courier: Soon the state will
begin to squander 500 on another abor-
tive tish.ladder. When our solons passed
the bill making this appropriation, they
failed to elucidate why, say so years ago.
the Mollalla, Santiam and McKenz rivers
had abundance of salmon. Tnen the fish
coming from the ocean did not need lad
der to climb the Willamette Falls and the
question naturally arises, why is the la ldec
needed now. The kind of lad,ier that Is
needed is a quIetus on the cannerles at the
mouth of the Columbia. A fish ladder here
cannot make fish. The $4,000 would be
far wiser expended if the state boughs fresh
salmon to that amount and distributed them
among the fish eaters OF sthe upper VILLAIN
