Fell Into the Water.

The Hood River Glacier says: Little
Bruce Morton had very narrow
escape from drowning the other day.
On his fathers place a fiat boat is used
to cross the slough when making hay.
The Miller brothers, Mr.. Morton and
his little boy had gotten into the boat
to cross the slough, and while Mr.,
Morton and Luther Miller were pre-
pairing to push the boat from shore
with their oars, Bruce ran to the for
ward part of the boat and managed to
fall overheard. Mr.. Frank Miller hap
pened to hear the splash made by the
boy falling overheard, and quickly go
ing to the bow of the boat. saw the
boy struggling in the water about two
feet under the surface. Reaching out
at arms length he caught the boy and
pulled him aboard just as the boat was
pushed out. In another moment the
boy would have been under the boat in
twenty feet of water.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Col. sinnott Meets an Old Friend After
Forty Years of Separation.

Col. sinnott Meets an Old Friend After
Forty Years of Separation.
A few days ago an officer in the U.
S. army registered at the Umatilla
House as Col. Stickney, of Cincinnati,
Ohio. In looking over the register
Col. Sinnott saw the name, and it was
brought to his recollection that about
forty years ago,when boy, he worked
at the Planters House, in ST. Louis,
and the proprietor's name was Ben.
Stickney. There were several boys in
the family, with whom the colonel was
on the most familiar terms, and he
thought this army officer might be one
of the sons of Mr.. Stickney-his chums
in boyhood days. In conversation
with him he found the army officer to
be the son of Mr.. Ben. Stickney, of
the Planters House, and particular
friend when he was boy. The meet
ing was very cordial one, and long
talk was had of 'days gone by"
Colonel Stickney was in q hurry
to join his command, and left
on the night train. 1t was with great
regret that Col. Sinnott bade him
good bye, exacting the promise that if
he ever visited The Dalles he would be
Mr.. Sinnott has been in the hotel busi-
ness, and during that time has devel-
oped keen faculties of observation.
He ''sizes a man up" at the first glance,
and is rarely mistaken. Aside from
this he is sometimes impressed by in
tuitions, which lead him to form cor
rect conclusions regarding Identities.
One evening, standing in front of the
hotel, he saw man walking towards
the door and told his companion that
he was son of Geo. Francis Train.
He had seen the father and was we'll
acquainted with him; but had never
beheld the son. After the man had
registered he found the name George
Francis Train, jr., written, and his
observation, intuition, or whatever
it may be termed, proved correct. The
colonel has fund of instructive rem
iniscenses to relate, giving instances
where he has "spotted" burglars, and
other criminals at first glance as they
came into the hotel. 1t may be ac-
counted for on the hypothesis that
long experience and close observation
in his business has developed certain
faculties which are dormant in others
who have not had the same opportuni-
tias

WEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
MAY 90, 1898.

May go, 1895.
WEATHER Clear, warm weather
prevailed up to the 10Th, when few
light showers occurred amounting to
from .01 to 10 of an inch. The maxi
mum temperatures were above 70 deg.
all the week, reaching SO deg. on the
18th. The minimum temperatures
ranged from 4S to go deg. in the Colum-
bia river valley and from 3S to 4S deg.
to the south of it. Warm, northerly
winds prevailed on the 18th and 18th.
CRoPS-Tbe warm winds did no
marked damage, further than to dry
the soil still more. The cereal crop is
reported to be in fair condition in
Wasco and Sherman counties, gener-
ally poor in Gillian and Morrow coun-
ties and fair in Umatilla and Union
counties. More rain in those counties
would be of great benefit and tend to
largely increase the yield. The fruit
prospects continue excellent. Berries
of all kinds will be unusually prolific.
Strawberries are ripening rapidly and
large shipments are being made from
Wasco county. Sheep shearing con-
tinues, and heavy, clean feeces are Sc
cured. The range grass is fairly good.
The drives to the mountains will begin
shortly. The outlook for the years
crops is about fair average at this
date. The success or failure of the
cereal crops depends upon the rainfall
and temperature during the next four
weeks. B. S. PAGUE, Director.

of Mr.. A. G. Ogilvie's ranch, cutting
off few acres Of his poorest grazing
land, and the damage would be slight.
"Friday morning the same party
started for the mouth of Thirtymile,
via Mayville, where they were to be
joined by the road supervisor OF that
district, and others. They are pre-
pored to stay a few days, and they may
cross over and do some surveying on
the Sherman county side of the river.
"We are pleased to see the Mayville
farmers putting their shoulders to the
wheel in this project. They have be-
gun to realize what the completion OF
The Dalles road means for them in the
way of an increased price for their
wheat, and they have commenced to
work in earnest.
"The wool men, too, of this section,
are in favor of the road, as it will
bring them into direct touch with a
good market for their wool. More
buyers come to The Dalles than to Ar
lington, and they pay better prices.
To take advantage of this, number
of Gillian county sheepmen are in the
habit of having their wool hauled to
Arlington, and thence shipped to The
Dalles for sale: and they claim that
they make money by so doing. With
a wagon road to The Dalles they will
save the amount charged by the rail
road company-a big item in these
days of close figuring"

Test For Drinking Water.

A simple method of testing drinking
water is to put into perfectly clean
bottle with ground-glass stopper, five
ounces of the water to be tested. To
the water add 10 grains of pure, granu-
lated, white sugar. Cork tight and set
but not to the direct rays Of the sun.
Do not disturb the bottle, and keep the
temperature as near to 10 degrees F.
as possible. If the water contains Or
ganic matter, within 48 hours an
abundance of whitish specks will be
seen, floating about, and the more or
ganic matter, the more specks. In a
week or 10 days, if the water is very
bad, the odor of rancid butter will be
noticed on removing the stopper. The
little specks will settle to the bottom,
where they appear as white focculent
masses. Such water should not be
used for drinking.

From MONDAYS Daily.

Mrs. LeBallister left for Heppner
n:the afternoon train.
| Mr.. Charles S. Moses, a wool buyer
from the east, is in the city.
F. G. Malone, president of the city
council of Portland, was in The Dalles
yesterday.
Mrs. E. Schultz left for Dufur Satur-
| day evening to visit Mrs. Geo. Johns
ton for a few days.
A very agreeable zephyr blew during
the past two days, and the atmosphere
is cool and refreshing.
The observation car was attached to
the train that arrived in the city yes
terday at IL o'clock, noon.
Passenger Agent Hurlburt, of the
o. r. & N. Co., arrived in the city yes
accompanied by his wife.
Wool is being hauled into the city
in large quantities, and buyers are
coming to The Dalles. In little
while quotations will be given.
Carp are very plentiful in the
streams in the vicinity of this city.
They have increased wonderfully since
first introduced in this country.
The observation car accompanies the
noon train from Portland daily. This
affords good opportunity for tourists
to view the grand scenery on the
Columbia river.
There were two arrests made by the
police force Saturday night of persons
being drunk and disorderly, and one
last night. These was brought before
the recorder this morning and each
fined SIS and costs.
A large band of sheep, consisting of
1000 lambs and ewes, were driven into
the city yesterday and ferried over to
the Washington side. They were the
property of Buckley and Newman of
Grass Valley, and were en- route to
summer pasturage on the foothills of
Mt. Adams.
The man who was arrested by the q.
S. marshal in this city few days ago
for sending obscene letters through
the mail was c. Fl. Prather. He is in
no ways related to Mr.. George T.
Prather, of Hood River, who is an ex-
emplary citizen, and has never been
guilty of any offense against the pub
lie than that of being q good Demo-
crat. This will be readily forgiven
him in 1896, when the Republicans
elect their full national, state and
county tickets by overwhelming major
tiles.
