The 4th of July, 1894, will be of little
importance to the citizens. There was no
event Of unusual occurrence, and the day
will have no especial slgni6cance from
others except the memories that cluster
around it in former years.
As result OF celebrating the 4th of July
in the vicinity Of The Dalles three young
men called up DIR. Hollister last night, and
had several stitches inserted in their scalps
and faces to hide the effects of collisions
with something or tistic fights while IN
state of hilariousness.
One of the sealed cars at Mosier, con-
taining merchandise, and left there when
the roadbea was washed away by the
high water, was broken open last Satur-
day and several articles stolen. The cul-
prit has not been arrested, although the
authorities have been hunting him for
some time.
We-received a call today from Mr.. 8.
T. Richardson, formerly resident of
Prineville IN this county, but at present a |
lawyer in Salem. He is en- route to Lew |
iston, Idaho, but Is detained by reason of |
the strike OF the Railway Union, and |
-, ha.v |, fro;v, hoa IF n o1 IL
The next strike anticipated Is BY the |
employees of steamships and steamboats, |
from sympathy with the Railway Union. |
If this means of transportation is stopped
the railroad companies may realize more
fully the necessity of not hauling any
more Pullman coaches.
A large force of men are now employed
between this city and Cello, and work is
being pushed as rapidly as possible on
the Union Pacific road. When this is
completed an outlet will be had for
wool, fruit and fish, which the people
very much desire at present.
This is the first season since 1890 that
there has been good run OF salmon In
this vicinity, and there IS no possibility
of the fish being shipped east or west
The cannery is run to Its full capacity,
and 1t cannot nearly can all the fish
caught. If the railroad was IN operation
ready sales could be made of the salmon;
but transportation is worse tled-up from
the effects of the flood than it is east rs
result of the strike
1t turns out that tn young man JAYNE
struck by locomotive on the Union Pa
cific bridge near Wlllapa and instantly
killed, was paralyzed by fright com
panion who was with him testified at the
coroner's inquest that Jayne, as well as
himself, had plenty of time to step aside,
but seemed glued to the spot. The COM
panion endeavored to get him of the
track, but was unable.
People who think bears are such terrors
will please read the following from the
Ivison correspondence of the Eugene
Register: While L. A. Chastain, of Hal
seY, was visiting in this part few days
ago while coming up Wild Cat he ran
afoul of black bear near the roadelde.
Bruin took to his heels with Mr.. Chastain
in pursuit. Chastain was unarmed, but
he wanted to show the bear he wasn't
afraid of him. He chased HIM about 800
yards up the mountain and the bear out
raced him.
The McMinnvllle Telephone Register
tells the following: w. W. Baker, of the
Rural Spirit, has colt, out of Scarlet
Letter. He has named it Mckinley Bill
and has challenged any Wilson Bill in
the state. A short time ago, Annie b,
sister of Lady Beach, gave birth to fine
horse colt by Scarlet Letter. Mr.. Gallo
way has named him Wilson Bill, and has
accepted the Baker challenge. The Will
son Bill will win in congress; but the
Oregon horse bearing the same name will
be McKinleylzed on the race track.
The passage of the Baker over the rap
ids at the Cascades to take an active part
in the trade of the middle Columbia has
beer anxlously desired by very many
business men and citizens, both In Ore
gon and Washington, who have been de-
prlved of necessary transportation facll-
tiles tor goods. wool, fruit and fish since
the flood destroyed the Union Pacific
road. Several attempts have been made
and each has failed, and our people must
bear their losses patiently. The high
water was caused by natural causes, over
which no one had the least control, and
the Union Pacific has exerted and will
exert its utmost efforts to rebuild its road
