Harry Ham, carpenter of Heppner,
Disappeared in mysterious manner a
few DAYS ago and has not since been
heard from, He took with him nothing
that did not belong to him, and left but
very few unpaid bilE all of which were
very small He called at j. H. Kolman,s
and got a revolver belonging to him
before leaving, and it is feared that,
through Temporary dangerment, he has
done away with himself. Being a sober
and industrious man, his strange disap-
pearance is a mystery.
Mrs. Williams Chnlmers, jr., living
near Hillsboro, was quite severely burn
ed on Wednesday last by falling into
the fire. The unfortunate lady, who is
sufferer from epileptic seizures, was
near the fire when attacked, and fell
with the left arm in the fire. The dress
caught, and although both her own lit.
tie girl and a servant came quickly to
her rescue, the sleeve of the dress was
burned off and the ann from the elbow
to the hand badly burned before they
could get her out Of the fire.
Henry Hudson's freig hU wagons were
the first ones to arrive at Mitchell, in
Crook county, this spring, and the town
was out of a supply of sugar and other
provisions. AS soon as the jingle of his
bells was heard his team was surrounded
by a crowd of anxious people, who first
inquiry was, "Have you any sugar."
and when an affirmative answer was
given there was smile of satisfaction
on all faces. 1t reminded Mr.. Hudson
of pack train entering a mining camp
after long winter.
A few days ago James V. Pipes and
MI CAMPBELL, of Albany, started for the
Quartzville mining district, in the San
tam country. They left Gates on foot
Sunday morning, and after going about
10 miles got lost and wandered around
in snow about six feet deep the remain
der of the day. In the evening they
met some men going in, and Mr.. Pipes
went on with them, while Mr.. Campbell
returned to Albany, having sprained his
ankle by breaking through the crust of
the snow and falling sons distance into
a stream of water.
There are indications that the failure
Of the bank # Hamilton, Job & Co., at
Corvallis, is much worse than was at
first anticipated The firm owned con-
siderable outside property 1t is proba-
BILE cannot be realized on for years. The
deposits were about S17O,000 Among
the number Conductor G. G. Kennedy,
with an amount reported at $1,000 to
$1,000. In any event the failure will
tie up a large amount of money for
some time, anG will materially affect
business in Corvallis. The state of
Oregon had $4,000 in the bank, de-
posi- ed there for use in the construct
ton Of the new agricultural college
buildings. Benton county had $1O,-
600 and Lincoln county $1,000 on de-
post, moneys recently collected from
taxes.
In the excayating for the new post
Office block at Albany number of big
bones were discovered. These were
sent to Professor Condor, of the State
university, who says: The bones are
fragments of right and left pelvic bones
of small elephant. The sockets of the
right and left hip joints are very well
preserved, The animal lived ten of
thousands of years ago, when this whole
Willamette valley of today was covered
with water the water of the Willamette
sound of the Champlaln period. At
the time of this Sound condition of this
valley these elephants lived on the foot
hills around the sound, and sometimes
their carcasses would get washed by
streams into the sound and get covered
in sediments of sand, gravel or mud,
The animal to which these bones belong
ed was probably 8 or 10 feet high, or
thereabout.
