VIII Look For Blue Bucket.

Long Creek Eagle: The representa-
tive of the Eagle met Jas. A. Wallace
and N. G. Wainscott in this city early
this week. They stated that they ex-
pected to start soon and make an ex-
tended search for the Blue Bucket
diggings. This famous mine was dis
covered in the early sos by an immi-
grant train en- route to the Willamette
valley. Mr.. Wallace's mother was a
member of that train of immigrants,
and she supplied him with all the nee
essary information and data to enable
him to find almost every camping
place made by the train while crossing
Oregon. The Eagle hopes Mr.. Wal
lace and others will be successful in
discovering the famous Blue Bucket,
and from the country over which they
intend to search, the Eagles readers
need not be surprised to hear of this
wonderful strike at any time.

Grant County Trade.

The business men of the The Dalles
should take note of the following from
the East Oregonian:
A telephone line from Pendleton to
Burns, by way of Alba, Ukiah, Long
Creek, John Day City and Canyon City,
would do more to bring the people of
Umatilla, Grant, Harney and Malheur
counties together and make Pendleton
the trade center thereof than any other
one enterprise. Business would grad
nally follow this telephone line and the
town furnishing the quickest, most di
rect communication would become the
mart of the producing people of those
counties. The telephone line would
make communication easy and this
business and developer of trade.

Oneouta Gorge.

Perhaps there is no greater natural
phenomenal than Oneonta Gorge,
about two miles east of Multuomah
Falls, where the mountain is cleft in
twain, and the aperture, from five to
fifteen feet in width, extends to a
height of about thousand feet.
Whether this was caused during the
cooling process of the earth's forma-
ton, or by subsequent volcanic
action, has not been definitely deter
mined. On the train only a glimpse
Of this great natural curiosity can be
obtained; but the excursion on June
I'd will afford an opportunity to
view and examine this wonderful phe-
nomenon. The train will arrive at
Multnomah Falls about II o'clock, and
this will give persons from Heppner,
Arlington, Grant and The Dalles suf-
ficient time to visit these places before
the hour for lunch. The afternoon
will be spent at the Locks, where
grounds have been prepared for all
kinds of amusements.

THE CATTLE SUPPLY.
Beef Cattle Show a Material Shortage
Over Last Year.

Beef Cattle Show Material Shortage
Over Last Year.
From four journals published at
Chicago, South Omaha and Kansas
City, figures are taken showing how
the receipts of cattle have. fallen of
this year, even though the entire west
has been carefully searched for mar
ketable steers.
At Kansas City, up to the middle of
May, the receipts were from January
1st: 1894, cattle, 532, ,395; 1895, 464. .552;
decrease, 67,S43; calves, 1894, S73O;
1895, L, ,361; increase, 4631: hogs, 1894,
963, ,267: 1895, 9S5, ,572; increase. %, ,305:
sheep, 1894, 206, ,434: 1895, 314 ,314: in
crease, 107 $50; horses, 1894, 1896;
1895, II, ,019; increase, 1858.
At South Omaha receipts from jan
uary 1st to May 18th were 168.656 cat
tie, 1885, hogs, 1875 sheep, 1869
horses and mules, showing loss of
16,908 sheep and a loss of $50 horses
and mules as compared with 1894.
At Chicago, the receipts were such
as to make the cattle shortage $4,000
head, in the three markets, as COM
pared with 1894.
This decrease has as an accompany
ing fact the draining of all the west
ern states of every hoof which is fit
for market. The stockman who has
any to sell next year will get good
prices. OF this there can be no doubt.

The Wool Season,

The increase of business at the East
End is very discernable, and is caused
by the vast quantities of wool being
received. During the last few days
there has been quite movement in
wheat, and considerable that was
stored last fall is now reaching market
because of the increased price. At
Moody's warehouse large lots of wool
are being baled, and new machine is
being placed in position. Sacks of
aeeces cover the platforms all around
the buildings, and force of men are
constantly employed unloading wagons
and storing the product. The wool
season has finally begun; but before
it ends the receipts of this product bid
fair to exceed those of any former
year.

A Wrongful Carving.

James O'Brien was very handy with
large Jack knife yesterday afternoon,
and in fit of anger attempted to carve
the side of David Conroy's neck, near
the jugular vein. To this David OBJ
jected, and Marshal Blakeny interfered
with the operation and placed O'Brien
in Jail. Though cut badly Conroy was
not seriously injured, and, with Irish
good humor, joked while the physician
was joining the gap with needle and
thread made by the sharp-edged in
strument. This morning he swore out
a warrant of arrest against O'Brien,
and the case was heard before Re-
corder Dufur. Conroy appeared as the
prosecuting witness, and, although his
head was bandaged he was able to
walk around and give his testimony.
After the evidence was heard, the re-
corder placed O'Brien under $500
bonds to answer the charge of assault
with dangerous weapon, and Conroy
under $3.50 to appear as prosecuting
witness.

During the past forty-eight hours a
force of men has been working assidu-
ously to save a railroad bridge few
miles east of town. The structure is
on the main line, and is menaced by
the slowly-rising waters of the Colum-

ing rapidly washed away. The bridge

Not Successful This Time.

Occasionally Pacific coast man
gets an eastern wife through matri-
monial papers. An interesting case is
of how an eastern girl did not get a
Pacific coast husband: ga young lady
of Chester, Penn, who selected a hus.
bend by mail, was so poorly pleased
with her choice when he appeared in
person that she refused to abide by it.
He came all the way from California
in response to her letter, but returned
alone sadder and wiser, as well as
a very angry man. He proved on in
spection to be stoop-shouldered and
baldheaded, and not at all up to the
sample shown in his photograph"

Hatching Pheasants.

E. 5. McClanahan, of Eugene, has a
covey OF seven young pheasants. The
eggs were found in the field, but from
the small number Mr.. McClanahan did
not suppose they had been set upon.
He placed them in wet moss, brought
them home, and did not think to place
them under hen until the next day.
1t requires four weeks for China pheas-
ant eggs to hatch, and his surprise may
be imagined when he found brood of
seven pheasants just two weeks after
the eggs were placed under the hen.
1t is said that China pheasant eggs
rarely fail to hatch,

Notice to water consumers.

The Water Commissioners have
ordered that the rules concerning the
use of water for irrigation be printep
and posted upon the gates of copsum-

the rules are. This has been done as
ordered. The great waste of water
heretofore and the limited supply,
make the enforcement of these rules
absolutely necessary. All consumers
will please take notice of these regu-
lations and in case of a violation of
the rules the water will be at once
shut off and charge of S1.O0 will be
made before again making the con-
nection. l. J. NOeMAN,
