CRY OFFICIALS,


Snow fell on the mountains between
0choco and summit prairie last Tues
DAY.
Considerable grain that was lying in
bundles on the ground has begun to
sprout and will be ruined. Especially
Is this the case on Willow creek.
This week. briefs were printed at this
office, in the case of Belknap & Sons
VS.. G. NJ. and Mamie Charlton, APP
pealed from,the circuit court Of Crook
county to the.s9preme court.
NJ. N. Gird, well known here, has

" Joe Ramus left Aast Saturday for
Warm Spring reservation to take
charge of the government saw mill at
that place. Joe, besides being an in
dustrious and worthy young man, is a
firstclass sawyer, and will be com.
petent foreman in Uncle Sans mills.
Some of the sheep men report their
dfocks that have been in the mountains
in rather bad condition. But the grass
on the open range is fine, and sheep
will have plenty of time to fatten after
being brought out of the mountains
before severe weather begins.
Jerry Winters, who left here with %
head of horses for the eastern market
two weeks ago, was in the railroad
wreck on the 18th, and ten of his
horses were killed The wreck was
caused by large rock rolling on the
track and displacing the rails. George
Cline has just returned from The
Dalles, and says Mr., Winters is at that
place trying to effect settlement with
the railroad company. The horses
which were not killed were badly IN
jured, and none will be fit to put upon
the market, hence he will bring them
back to bis ranch.
Circuit court Will convene here on
October 10th, and from present appear
ances it will not take more than three
days for the court to dispose Of all busi-
ness that will come before it, The fact
il, moEey is SO scarce that creditors
cannot afford to undertake to force col
lections, hence they keep out of court,
rather preferring to chance debtors
getting tired of being dunned and set
tling Of their own accord.
Crook county has ut last had fail
ure. Fl. H. Glow, who started a saw
mill in the extreme north end of the
county about year ago, recently
turned the mill over to Phil Brogan,
who held mortgage on the property.
Other creditors, who have claims
against him amounting to some Sl4O0
can't find any property to satisfy their
claims. Glow, having nothing but his
reputation, left after giving up the
mill.

The other night young man was
returning home from Albany by the
road across the river when he was
stopped and required to answer several
questions. Not knowing what he
came up against, he felt himself in an
uncomfortable position, and would
have probably handed over his loose
change had the demand been made.
However, it turned out to be a joke Of
some boys coon-hunting, who were
partially acting the roll Of highway
men. They had their guns, and did
not use chaste language to the traveller,
but after some little time told him to
drive on. These boys or young men
had better let such joking alone, or
they might get themselves into serious
trouble, as man travelling along the
road at night is not supposed to know
whether he Is being held up for sport
or not, and he might shoot Besides
1t is criminal act.-Corvallis News.

Much has been said the past year
about river transportation to Eugene.
We are now reliably informed that al,
soon as the government snag boat
makes the trip to demonstrate that the
channel is clear, as it was early in the
summer, the Oregon Pacific steamer
Three Sisters will come up immedi-
ately. And even if the snag boat does
not come, the 0. p. boat will, but must
wait for some safe assurance Of enough
water to enable it to pass one or two
short bends in the river between here
and Harrisburg. Enough freight has
commenced to move to justify the
company running the boat between
Salem and Harrisburg the coming
week. Guard.

A formal salesof the Oregon Pacific
is being arranged for about Dec. Isl,
the object being;to determine the rela-
tive rights Of the different creditors.
Several things indicate action on the
road. People say the recent trip Of the
Union Pacific special indicated some
thing; but then special trips are becom-
ing chestnutty. 1t is now learned, says
an exchange, that surveying party
has just arrived at The Dalles after q
seven.weeks' trip through Eastern Ore
gon, their object being to find feasible
route for railroad from that point
through the interior to the line of the
0. P. in Lake county. Just who is
behind the project 1t is impossible at
present to state, but officials of both
the Northern Pacific and Union Pa
cific in this city disclaim any connec-
tion with the enterprise. The survey
ors followed the Lieutenant Norton
survey from The Dalles to the Des-
ehutes, which was found to be the
most difficult part Of the proposed
road, but the average grade will not
exceed 50 feet to the mile. Striking that
river at the agency ferry, they followed
up the stream to the mouth of Crooked
river, II distance of twenty miles.
From this point they went to Prime
vile, IN Crook county, 45 miles dis
tant. The first twenty miles has no
grade to exceed 80 feet, and from that
distance to the town mentioned the
land is comparatively level. Alter
leaving Prineville they found the
ground much more feasible for rail-
road. AT the head Of Silver creek, 125
miles from Prineyille, they reached
the surveyed route of the Oregon Pa
cific, and for the entire distance the
grade would be very light. This creek
spreads out, and down it would be
natural roadbed.

AMUSEM ENTS.
Lothrop's Grand Opera House,

large audience enjoyed the perfor-
Lothrop's Grand Opera House last even
ing and following the irrepressible "Col-
onel" through all OF his many stupendous
schemes for making money-not an ordi-
nary fortune OF half dozen millions, but
far up In the hundred millions. He sees
millions In steamboat and 1t blows up
and then he sees millions In land specu-
lating, corn, hogs, and last, his eye wash,
which "must be used externally, internally
and eternally; can be made at thirty cents
barrel ana sold at fifty cents a bottle.
His favorite expression "There's Millions
in It," always brought down the house.
Charles Barringer appeared as Clay Haw-
kins and Miss Kate Glassford as Lenora
Hawkins. J. Francis Kirke as Col. Shelby
was bad man and played bis part so well
that ne was Kissed. Miss Addie Snow as
Emily Hawkins sang "Velvet and Rags"
and was encored. The steam boat race and
the court scene are very fine stage settings.
"The Span Of Life"
The play at Keith's Opera House In
Providence this week Is one of the most
startling and sensst ional productions that
was ever presented on the stage. It is q
melo- drama that does not depend upon q
few redeeming features or scenic effect
alone to win popular favor, but is a very
strong and interesting play and is ad-
mirably interpreted by a company of un-
usually competent players. Among the
best scenes were the garden overlooking
the sea, room Ia the Coffin Rocks light
house, the exterior of the lighth the
camp In Africa, the interior of slave
shed, and the "King's chasm," which,
bridged by three athletes, enables the
fugitive pursued by an Arab band to
cross the gulf. This act has probably
never been excelled In its startling
Realism, and the Wilson brothers, who
form the human bridge were greeted with
tremendous applause when the curtain
went down. "The Span Of Life" will be
repeated every night this week and at the
matinees Thursday and Saturday.

BASEBALL TEAM MosBED.
cubans Didn't Like the Way American Girls
Played the Game.

HAVANA, March IA serious conflict
occurred at Alemendare, which nearly
resulted in serious injury to a number Of
American young women. A party OF
Americans, known as the American Fe-
male Baseball club, who have been going
about playing against Cuban clubs, was
playing at Alemendares, their opponents
being local club composed of young men
of good class.
The majority Of the spectators were well
behaved, but the attendance also included
. share Of the lowest dregs of society.
These claimed to be convinced that the
playing of the girls was simply farcial and
did not show professional skill. The NAL
contents clamored loudly for the restitu-
tion Of their money and at length brok >
the seats and set fire to the fences around
the playground.
The mob, encouraged by impunity, at
tempted to attack the players, who were
gallantly defended by the young men Of the
Cuban baseball club and by the respecta-
BILE majority of the spectators. All the
players, male and female, took refuge in q
house. The mob pursued them and suo-
ceeded In obtaining entrance. Then the
rioters pillaged the house and succeeded In
injuring several Of the players, including
one of the American females.

Interesting Items.
Last evenings meeting of Court Central
was highly interesting one. Six new
members took the obligations Of Forestry /.
Diptheria is quite prevalent In the
northern section of the village, and four
deaths are reported. The school authori-
ties have closed the school at Valley Falls,
Lincoln side, In order to guard the pupils
from possible contagion.
Prompt measures should and no doubt
will be taken by the health department to
confine the disease to its present narrow
limits. Too much care cannot be exer-
| cised by parents to protect their children
from the dangerous malady.

THE BUSINESS MEN.
The after OF Aboiishing Grade Crosslngs
Discussed.

The Matter OF Abolishing Grade Crossings .
Discussed.
The Business Mems Association met
last night in Music Hall. There was a
large gathering, as 1t was announced that
John w. Ellis of Woonsocket were to
make addresses on the abolition of grade
crossings. John F. Adams was elected to
membership, and then a collation. was
served. Charles A. Allen was introduced,
and said that previous to 1890 the abolish.
ing OF railroad crossings in Massachu-
setts was in the hands of the Selectmen
and the County Commissioners. Then a
law was passed leaving the matter in the
hands of a special Commission to be ap-
pointed by the Superior Court. He then
read the laws OF Massac husetts In relation
to the abolishing OF the grade crossings,
and made comments thereon.
Joohn w. Ellis said he was glad to see
that the abolishing Of these crossings was
being considered so generally. IL is de-
manded by the increase I'm the wealth and
prosperity OF the country. Railroad Com
missioner Freeman also made a few re-
marks. A sextet rendered several selec-
tions during the evening.
The association appointed committee
to confer with the Joint standing COM
mittee on railroads of the City Cnuncil
and the authorities of the steam railroads
for the purpose of devising some plan to
abolish grade crossings in this city.

NO LICENSE
Is the Prevailing Sentiment OF Towns Through
out the Old Bay State.

BosTON, March 7.-Mr. Moderator was
the great man of the day all over Massa-
chusetts yesterday, and men with smooth
faces and stylish clothes, as well as other
men with billy goat whiskers and top
boots, arose to points Of order in towns,
large and small, throughout the common
wealth.
1t was the first Monday in March, and
consequently town meeting day." The
counting of ballots and the making Of re-
turns was later than usual because more
than the usual number of towns voted by
the Australian system.
True To precedent, the great majority OF
the towns voted mo license" but the per
cent which voted Eyes" was nearly twice
as large this year as last In 1892 it was
about 10 per cent; this year it is nearly 20.
There were several changes from license to
no license and vice versa, and in two or
three cases the liquor question ws decided
by only one vote.
