the amount was committed to the count
Jail. He will board at the Hotel de War

condition.
Ellensburgh Localizer: There is but on
quartz mill in operation in the county an
perhaps in the state as well, and that is tn
Blewett mill on the Peshastln, which i
running night and day, working thre
elght-bour shifts. The pay roll of the mil

time will be busy one. There is plenty o
Il high grade ore, but the parties owning th,
n mines are too poor to get the stamp, which
n takes money these days.

a Justice Schultz as the reporter this morn
: Ing stepped in, and demurely inquired
e whether there was anything upon whicl
the Judicial mind was cogitatlng. The
2 answer was not reassuring, and quietly
and with subdued expression of coun-
{ | tenance the pencll-pusher walked out HI

J the time to sharpen his Faber for another
rencounter with the events of the busy
bustli world.
Exchange: The people of Umatllla
county are raising considerable "cane"
on account OF the county court purchas-
ing one half interest In what IS known
as the Lee street bridge in Pendleton.
Two years ago the county clerk was en-
joined from issuing script in payment for
this bridge, and the action of the circuit
court was sustained by the supreme court,
but somehow or other the people of the
county were caught mapping and the
transaction was perfected.
Baker City Democrat: The offer of the
committee of the Anti Chinese Associa-
ton of La GraBde to assist Baker City in
cleaning out the Chinese from here is re-
ceived with thanks, but as the people of
Baker City are able TO attend TO their own
business the offer is not accepted. The
| people OF Baker City believe in law and
order and La Grande will have enough TO
do TO keep her rioters out OF the clutches
of the law and the taxpayers of Union
county out of the poor house.
Last Saturday the proprietors of the
Black Butte mine in Fox valley made an.
other clean-up,says the Long Greek Erg'e,
this time obtaining about $780, which
was the result of working about thirty
1--WE tons of ore. Their iive.stamp mill IS
doing excellent work at the present time.
However, the EIgle is informed that Iha
-proprietors contemplate making some
more improvements in the way of addi-
tlonal machinery, which will better enable
them to save the gold from the ore.
A Nebraska paper pins its faith TO these
declarations, aud sallies forth: Our aim
tell the truth though the heavens tumble
Our paper-of the people, for the people
and must be paid for by the people. Our
elIgion-orthodox, with a firm belief in
heaven. Our motto-take everything 10
sight and hustle for more. Our poliey-so
make it pleasant for our friends and uu-
comfortable for our enemies. Our obisct-
to make an honest living, haYe a good tims
and finally wind up in congress or jn the
governors chair.
One week from to-day the District Ag-
ricultural association will hold Its annual
meeting In this city, and a large attend
ance is exdected. The display of fruits
and horticultural products is expected TO
be something unprecedented in the his
tory of the county, and there will also be
q fine exhibition of improved breeds of
cattle. AS fairs are means of instruction
in all departments of mechanical skill,
attendance on them Is beneficial to all
classes of the community, and the coming
opportunity should not be neglected.
New York World: If the Democratic
members of the house of representatives
want to serve their country ana their
party, the best thing they can do is to
drop the elections repeal bill as they
would urop red hot poker. This extra
ordinary session of congress was called
to repeal the Sherman act and for no
other purpose. Republican votes are cs-
sential to this object. A majority OF the
repeal senators are Republicans. To un-
necessarily affront them by an Injunction
partisanship into congress at this time
would be TO invite defeat.

posed to have been caught subsequently, by
some neighboring t'shernen, which when
put on the scales tipped the beam at about
700 pounds.

Exchange. 1t has never been clearly as.
,ertained what was the original parent ot
he peach. 1t is, however, weli-known
hat the peach, the almond and the nee
arine can all be developed. the one from
he other; ana it is, therefore, reasonable
hat all had the same origin. It has been
imposed that the almond was already the
.ntecedent of the other two. Recently,

The 0kanogan Outlook speaks of party
# miners, who completed wing dam in
he Similikameen river, and says they
lave 200 feet of 1t completed by which a
arge strip of pay gravel will be recov-
red from the bed of the river, which will
,ay fifteen cents 10 the pan and then
afely observes "the boys expect 20 make
rom So to So a day" Let's see; fifteen
ents to the pan, which is about shovel
ul of dirt, will pay So per minute reck-
ming at low average of twenty shovels
,er minute. This is $3.50 per hour and
1880 per day of ten hours. When peo-
lie talk OF fifteen cents to the pan they
hould figure out q little. If we had that
n placer ground we would work thirty
TX hours day and never feel tired.
