Almost Arreated,

An officer last night was put on the
track of a counterfeiter at the piac
where he was stopping. He found the
man and placed him under arrest. anf
while going into another room to senG
a telephone message the fellow took
leg bail for parts unknown. When the
official returned his bird had flown
and after hunting high and low h
could not be found. His valise an
other traps that the fellow had wit
him were secured. On looking over
these complete counterfeiter's outfit
was brought to light from the deptn
of a capacious valise. The man NJ
doubt understood the business he fol-
lowed, and did not want to be brough
before the courts; but his freedom will
not last long, for on his tracks is on,
of the most vigilanl officials in the
state of Oregon, and he will very soon
cogitate upon the beauties of the land
scape and watch the Italian tints on
our horrison from behind prison bars

Cranes in Union County.

An exchange says: Cranes are so
numerous in Union county that there
are not enough men, women and chill
dren to keep them off the grain fields
and gardens. In many places they
have destroyed large orchards and
groves, eating off the leaves and limbs,
leaving only the trunks and trees
standing. Part of the day these birds
swarm to the streams like countless
herds of cattle and so great is their
number that they often drink the
streams entirely dry, thus threatening
the country with general drouth.
What seems the strangest part of the
matter is that the skins of the cranes
are so tough that they cannot be pene-
trated by ball from 44-calibre rifle.
The cranes have practically taken the
country and the people are fleeing for
their lives; and geographers have al
ready changed the name from Union
to Crane county.

Judge Caldwell of the United States
circuit court has decided that when an
insurance company considers policy
valid enough to collect premium upon
it, it cannot successfully come in to
court and, to escape loss, successfully
plead the invalidity of the policy.
The decision is sensible and in har-
mony with the eternal principles of
justice.
In 1893 the number of sheep in the

away bac, in an early day two French
men came back on the old emigrant
trail, found the Blue Bucket mine and
were run out by the Indians; but be.
fore they left they obliterated the
grave which marked a days travel
from the mine, and made another
grave many miles away, marking it
with the original headstoue, to throw
any subsequent searchers off the trail.
Nothing was said as to what become of
the two Frenchmen, but we presume
that 1t Is safe to add that the ghost OF
Mary Jane Cummings, whose last
resting place was so ruthlessly blotted
out, arose in righteous Indignation and

The Grain Harvest.

Mr.. Henry Simons, the fruit raiser
of Eight mile creek, returned from a
tour of the county last night, during
which time he visited Dufur, Kingsley,
Nansene and the Wamic district. He
speaks in very discouraging terms of
the crop prospects in different portions
of the county that he visited, and thinks
spring sown grain will not yield over
half crop. This is especially true of
Tygh ridge, where he believes the har-
vest will be as short as it was six years
ago. Fall grain Is in good condition
in many places, and an average crop
will be harvested. Mr.. Simons is a
man of experience and of sound judg-
ment; but we hope his prognostica-
tions will not prove correct. From
other sources we have received en-
couraging news of the prospects of the
harvest, and we hope the
output will be equal to the expecta.
tions of the most sanguine.

Eastern OREGON Beef.

The citizens of Chicago will soon be
enjoying the luxury of Eastern Oregon
beef, fed upon the luxurant bunch.
grass of the Inland Empirs. There
were eight carloads of cattle shipped
to the Chicago market today from the
stockyards Of r. E. Saltmarshe & Co.
in this city. They came from Klicki-
tat county and the Tygh ridge in
Wasco, and were in prime condition.
The residents OF the windy city have
already tested our fruit and salmon,
and we presume our beef will please
them as well as the other products.

known when the works will begin
work again. The shutting down of
the plant has worked quite disastrously
to the town, and business has been at
stand still and will so remain until
the distillery and mill open.
Miss Eva Burton, of Portland, who
was at Hood River for her health died
at that place last Saturday. 1t was
the intention of her parents to bring
her to this city as soon as she re-
covered sufficiently to stand the jour
ney: but the dread summons came
while at the little town down the Col
umbia. The body will be taken to
Portland for interment.
W. E. Campbell, of this county, has
been awarded the contract by Surveyor
General Arnold of surveying that
portion of the Willamette valley and
Cascade mountain Wagon Road Co. g
grant, which is included within the
limits of the Cascades forest reserve
contained in townships 13, IA and Is

James Brown, now seventy years old,
is the only survivor of James w. Mar
shall's first discovery of gold in Cali
fornia on the 24th of January, 1S4S.
Brown is the only one living who was
present when Marshall washed the
yellow grains in the camp dough pan,
and he is the man who first tested the
flag scales with fire, and going forth
from the shanty to where the men
were at work on the mill race cried:
"Boys, here's gold"
Regarding the road from Lyle to
Goldendale, Wash. Mr.. 1. N. Day met
the directors at the former place Sat-
urday morning to make some arrange
ments about equipping the road after
the grading is completed. 1t is not
known what arrangements were made:
but it is presumed that the Days will
lay the ties and furnish the rolling
stock after the road is prepared. If
these surmises are correct the Golden
dale-Lyle road may be considered
certainty.
Mr.. G. G.. Roberts arrived in the city
Saturday from Montana, where he has
been purchasing wool during the sea-
son. He says the fieeces in Montana
are not of equal grade to those of
Eastern Oregon, and pays the compli-
ment to this city that it is one of the
best markets in the northwest, where
buyers can find the choicest clips. Our
sheepmen have been grading their
fiocks by the introduction Of thorough
bred bucks, and the result is seen in
the fleece.
A correspondent writes: "As many
of your readers are off or going to the
country, where not few are likely to
become victims of the poison oak
poison ash and poison ivy are its
aliases), tell them that the best and
almost always unfailing remedy is
crude petroleum as lotion.

The RECORDERS Court.

Before the recorder this morning
there were crowd of five who had
been arrested last night by the police
officers. Three belongs to that class
commonly denominated hoboes, and
the other two are known in street par
lance as "drunks." After the recorder
had gained his usual good humor from
the loss of his spectacles he imposed a
fine OF ten dollars apiece on the former
and five on the latter. One "drunk"
paid; but the remainder of the gang
are working on the streets.

Larceny of Wool.

A lady by the name of Weberg in
this city cleaned and washed a lot OF
wool which she intended to use in
mattresses, and placed it in sacks in a
room adjoining the house. Last Sat
urday three boys passed that way, took
the wool and sold it to one of our
dealers. Today the boys were arrested,
and two of them pleaded guilty to the
offense, but said they were not aware
they were stealing when they took the
sacks. One of the boys cannot be
found, and doubtless knows what he
has done, and is abiding the officers.

Gold at Granite.

]. A. Howard, says the East Oregon
ian, while speaking of the Granite
country from which he has just re.
turned, said that there was plenty Of
money circulating In the town Of
Granite and the life there resembles
old times in all Eastern Oregon towns.
Gold Is the money of the people out at
Granite, and everyone appears to have
lots of it. Mines are selling, and an
Englishman is on the ground buying
nearly everything he can find. He has
purchased considerable ground which
has been worked over In placer mining,
and will put in reservoir to store
water for reworking the claims.
Many Of the placer mines were op.
Grated as late as 1892, but since that
time has lain idle.

Preserving Fruit.

A California fruit man has been ex.
perimenting and finds that fruit put
away in powdered borax will keep
sweet and fresh for weeks. He sent a
lot of cherries packed in borax to
Chicago by slow freight and they
reached their destination in fine order,
after being three weeks on the way.
He says his discovery is free to all and
that the same borax can be used over
and over again. Private families, as
well as hotels and restaurants, can
have their borax bins at small expense,
in which they can constantly keep an
assortment of fresh fruit.

Death of a Pioneer.

J. NJ. Leadford died at his hom 9 at
Wamic last Saturday, aged about 85
years, after sickness of about two
weeks. He was attacked by paralysis,
and has not been able to take any

remedy known to medical science was
applied. For several days he fingered
in this condition until death came to
his relief.
Mr.. Leadford was pioneer of Was

for many years before he moved to the
farm at Warmic. He was highly re-
spected citizen, and a man of the most
