was for $50 and the gate receipts-and

Campbell, Chapman and Kennedy.
There were no pools.
The following clipping from the Tacoma
News Of Monday implies that the strik-
ers there do not yet intend giving in (:
"The fact that Gen. Manager Kendrick,
of the Northern Pacific, issued q circular
agreeing to reinstate former employees Of
the company. has made the strikers jubi-
liant. The Northern Pacific has been in
forming the public all along that it never
would reinstate any of the men who went
out said one of the strikers to News
reporter this morning. why, that an
nouncement OF Hendricks amounts to
just this-the company must have large
number Of it's old hands back to operate
its road satisfactorily and safely. They
talk about this strike being ended.
Pshsw! we can't lose.'"
Fruits are beginning to come in. Mr..
P. J. Flint brought up some early Alex
apder peachers from his Parker Bottom
ranch on Monday, which were Of fine
quality. They were fully eight inches in
circumference, on an average, and quite
ripe. He has been using them for cook
ing.purposes fora week he states but these
are his first dead ripe ones. G. p. Will
cox reports his own orchard as yielding
early peaches but Parker Bottom is sew
eral days earlier than this city and vi
cinity, when it comes to marketing fruits.
The east. bound passenger train arriv-
ing here yesterday was fired upon from
ambush by some miscreant at Easton, on
the summit, and again at Thorpe, where
the bridge was recently burned. The
perpetrators of the deeds were not dis
covered. These affairs are likely to be
Of frequent occurrence until the whole
strike question is absolutely settled. II
makes travel rather unpleasant and dam
gerous-but it appears that it cannot be
helped. II one OF these cowardly, skulk-
ing brutes should be caught, brilliant
example will be made Of him, surely.

Hilley, rode over from Orting on Sunday.

them are reported short Of provisions.
The horsemen were forced to ford several

The council met Monday night but trans
acted little business aside from grant
ing saloon license to l.. F. Paetow, and
ordering warrants drawn for the usual
grist Of bills. The matter of time when
the municipal ofticers-elect would enter
upon their duties was brought up, but
the city attorney seemed to have no very
clear idea on the subject, and finally con-
cluded that the bonds should be approved
by the old board and sanctioned by the
incoming council. A caucus OF the new
council was called on Tuesday to arrange
details and plans for procedure.

gregations. over half of the Umatillas be-

Paul Schul re is still in New York look
ing after the sale of the Irrigation Com
pany's bonds. An association of capital
lists have guaranteed the bonds, and the
money would no doubt have been re-
ceived before this but for the strike,
which caused loaning companies to be-
come exceedingly timid and to suspend
negotiations until the conditions Of the
country became little more settled.
