FishCaCk and Berry.

From the Mississippi Democrat
 A great many papers are proving to their own stiSfaction at least that Senator Berry is the most popular man is the State; that Gov. Fishback is simply not in the race for Senator that his claim for promotion to that position will be summarily repudiated when the legislature convenes. All of which may be true. But yet the incontroyer- ible fact remains that MT Fishback is the best governor Arkansas ever had l.: that his letters treating on public ques- ti0nS have exhibited an ability and d statesmanship possessed by few public men; that he has done more to put the resources of our State and the inteli- gence of our people iR a favorable light before the country than any man who ever lived in Arkansas. Senator Berry was a gallant confederate soldier, and is all honorable high-tOned gentleman. Far be 1t from us to utter a word in di3paragenent of his m any good Quali- 1 ties. His record in congress is that of consistent democrat. But are these all the qualifications the needs Of the hour demand {? Every reader of the Democrat knows the wide discon- tent which permeateS the Democratic party to day. It is not our purpose to allude in this connection to the causes which led to this state of affairs. Suf- flee it to say it exists. It is not enough for the democracy of Arkansas to send men to congress who will simply follow but men who will lead in the direction of affairs, men whose ability and breadth are such as will make them leader of democracy rather than private soldiers in the ranks, however faithful the latter may be. The next lew days will decide the future of democracy as we'll as of the country. Now is the time for that party to send her ablest men to the front.

If we erred in thinking that Bro. Vaughn of the Brinkley Mirror sent that dispatch to the Gazette, We retract what we said, and beg his pardon. But our conclusions were awfully natural under the circumstances. The special was 80 in keeping with the Berry-Brun- didge rot which the wayward brother dishes up, that we were probably de- ceiyed by the likeness thereunto.

crop-weather Bulletin.

The following is the report for Eastern
Oregon for the week ending Tuesday,
May %. 1894, by S. M. Blandtord, OBJ
server weather bureau:
The daily temperature departure from
the average was four degrees cooler. The
precipitation was slightly excessive in
the Columbia and Walla Walla valleys.
1t was greatly in excess throughout the
central and southeastern counties.
Crops in the Columbia river valley
counties are making an encouraging
progress. The cool weather during the
previous three weeks and the first four
days of last week was having an evil IN
fuence on the grain crop, but the week
having terminated IN warm weather crops
have renewed their rapid growth and as
sumed healthy color again. The ground
ls saturated with moisture from the re-
cent rains and with warm, sunny weather
the most rapid advancement should be
expected. Farmers are forecastlngi a
bountiful harvest of cereals aud hay. A
heavy frost occurred ON the morning of
the 18th, which injured strawberries.
Other fruits are not materially injured
Cherries are thlcklY set IN many parts OF
the valley. Many farmers have com
pleted summer-fallowing Gardens have
been planted. Late potatoes are being
planted The outlook is encouraging.
In the interior counties cool, cloudy
weather with heavy rain delayed farming
operations and retarded the growth OF
vegetation. 1t has not been found neces-
sary to irrigate in many sections owing
to the moisture from natural caus es
Should the weather become warm the
greatest possible advancement would be
made in all crops. Sprlng-sown wheal
covers the ground. Fall-sown has a
promising appearance. Alfalfa Is grow
ing nicely. Orchards are in full bloom.
The prune acreage is being increased
Sheep shesring is progressing slowly
owing to cool. weather. The season is
considered later than the average, though
the crops will mature in the average time

The Robbers seen.

The three men who robbed Mays & Crow
store were met about ha!f-past o'clock the
sam morning fifteen miles from The Dalles
on Eve mile creek. They had eaten break
fast, saddled their horses and were prepar-
ing to start on tkeir journey. There were
four horses, three were used for riding pur-
posss, and one was a pack animal The
SINE parties saw them the evening before,
but they said they intended to go to Salt
Lake and hunt deer. They had fed well,
aud had with them seme choice beef. The
yong man who gave this information said
he and his companion had been fishing at
the creek, and did not learn of the robbery
until the evening afterward when they came
to town. Where the robbers camped is
about six miles from the snow, and it will
be impossible for them to cross the noun
tains in that direction. They must either
cross the Deschutes or the Watolis about
forty-five miles from the Warm Springs
agency. At the latter place ia bridge
across the stream, but this Is reached by
blind trail. known only to Indians. 1t is
not known what direction the robbers
took, and it is most difficult to locate them
at this late date.

Flood years.

The rapid rise in the river in the last few
days has brought the question of high water
up for discussion. As there appears to be
considerable difference of opinion regarding
''food years" and the heigth attained above
low water mark, we copy the following sta
tistlcs from the TIMES MoUsTAINEER Au-
nual. published in 1885, the data for which
was very carefully collected: ''In 1862 very
high water was experienced, submergIDg
Front and Second street and reaching to
Third. Again in 1865 the river overfuwed
the city, and the same experience was had
In 1871. The highest point vet reached by
the flood was on June, %, 1876 when 1t
reached 81 feet. inches above low water
mark. July 2. 1880, was the date of the
next food, and it marked 4S feet, u inches,
and in 1882, June l4th, 4S feet 2 inches"
These figures were complied from trust.
worthy sources, and there can be no doubt
of their correctness. In 1882 the council
ordered the grade of the streets of the city
raised above the mark of the food of 1876,
and little fear need be entertained of any
further damage to property by reason of the
lime freshet

High Water.

1t is very likely that 1894 will be one

Umatilla state that on the oath the river
stood q s feet and on the 25th 25 feet

ed in the dispatches reaches this point.

Military Matters.

Last night there was battalion drill of G
Co., and there were in line good represen-
tation of the members of the company, Col
Thompson and staff, and Captain Chrisman
and Lieutenant McAvoy. The military
movements were very interesting to those
who still possessed the war spirit that

ing several maneuvres IN the armory, at
which there was present quite number of
spectators, the men marched out and went
through military tactics on the street.
While the drill may not have been so per
feet as that executed by regular troops, yet
it demonstrated the fact that our, young
men are taking an interest in military mat
ters, and are trying to excel IN the manual
of arms.

The accounts published of the accident
that resulted N the death of Mr.. W. A.
Semple last Tuesday evening, shave been err
roneous. We were informed yesterday by
Mr.. M. Doyle that no blast had been made
IN the rock for over two hours, and that it
had not been disintegrated by former ex-
plosIon. Mr.. Doyle advised the boys to GO
home and do no more that evening. They
thought thev could drill the hole little
deeper before they left it, and were both on
the rock when they felt it moving. Mr..
Ralph Dolph, in Jumping from the moving
mass was hurled distance OF 80 or 40 feet
down the embankment, and Mr.. Sample was
last seen on the rock, with arms extended,
just as it struck a jutting ridge in Its de-
scent, and was hurled to the bottom of the
creek. He was dead when found and there
was no stone on him or signs Of any bruises;
He was lying parallel with the stream with
portion of his body in the water. The
RIass of rock was about s feet thick, and
had an area of about l0xl2 feet on the sur

accident In bridge creek

Mrs. E. Schultz, mother of Mr.. William
Cowne, received q letter from him dated
May 18th. in which it Is stated that in at
tempting to cross Bridge creek with his
wagon the water proved too deep and he
lost everything. He states that nothing
was saved from the vehicle except the
orange basket and the cushion. The seat
washed down the stream, also one wheel.
and it was only after almost superhuman
exertions that the horses were rescued from
drowning. He tried to find some of the
articles along the bank of the stream, but
only discovered one box and it was empty.
The wagon, with three wheels, was hauled
out of the water, but the bed was empty
In saving the horses and wagon the tongue
was broken, and this made it more difficult
to manage the vehicle. The young man
said that he was all right and would reach
his home at Caleb the next day.. All
streams are verv high at this season of the
year, and those that were formerly fordable
are now turbulent torrents.

He VIII Get rhere.

The nomination of Judge Lord for gov
ernor calls to mind an amusing an possibly
prophetic incident that occurred some years
ago on the Bull Run and Sandy stage. He
had been out on the line and was returning
to Portland, when the driver, Leon Cohen,
being in somewhat of hurry to reach the
city before dusk, touched up his horses with
the whip and put them through at lively
rate. The wheels touched the nigh and
low spots in the road in such rapid success
sion as to severely test the springs and keep
the occupant of the stage bouncing absut
its interior like rubber ball. Finally the
driver slackened his speed and Judge Lord
thrust his head out to ostulate, but just
then the whip cracked again, the horses
jumped into a run, and as the judge was
jerked violently back into his seat, he heard
the driver shout: "My Lord, sit still and
you will get there"
