| A Portland exchange says: George
Hunter, boy hailing from Baker City,
who said he came all the way to Port
land to see the man go over the falls on
Sunday, was sent to Jail for 30 days for
begging On the street. Sentence was
suspended, on condition that the boy
leave town at once, which he promised
to do.
Exchange: Portland pork packers
pay less than Omaha for their hogs by
one and half-cents per pound. AS a
consequence the raising of hogs is not
sufficiently encouraged and the Omaha
product finds a market in this state.
The Portland hog does not give the
other hogs throughout the state a liv-
ing show.

Yesterday some pine needles which he
had gathered from forest tree few
| miles south of the city, and on these
could be discerned thick clustering
of San Jose scale. Our orchards are
| nearly free from the scale: but they
will not remain so while the insect can
find breeding place in the forest trees.
The frost OF last week did more or
less injury to fruit prospects in some
portions of Jackson county, while in
others it only thinned the blossoms
sufficiently to secure a good quality OF
fruit if no further damage occurs.
Cherries and almonds are injured more
than peaches, while apricots will be
decidedly short. The strawberry crop |
is uninjured, as also are later varieties |
of fruit
Sheriff Driver received yesterday |
from the authorities in California a |
photograph and description of the ex-
press robber, who is still at large, and ]
who recently held up the Southern Pa
cific and killed Sheriff BOgard of Te-
hama. A careful watch will be kept
on all arrivals in this city, and if he
comes this way he will very likely be
captured.
There were 5000 sheep shipped from
the stockyards of r. E. Saltmarsh &
Co. in this city today. They were sent to
Chicago, and consisted of eighteen car
loads. Mr.. Thomas Fargher, of Kings
ley, owned the sheep, and he sold them
to an eastern buyer. 1t is expected
they will bring good price In Chicago,
as livestock of all kinds are apprecia
ting in value.
Street Commissioner Butts has
gang of five under his charge today,
and he is fully equal to the emergency.
He wears his honors lightly, and does
not seem to be in the least proud of
the position, and any one can approach
him without hesitation. These nnfor-
tunate victims were arrested on differ
snt charges, and are working out their
fines on the street.
1t is reported that the cattle raisers !
Of the west are lending every effort to
the perfection of an organization to
light the dressed beef combine. They
claim that they are getting only a
small and wholly inadequate advantage
rom the advance in price to consum- !
,rs. The cattle raisers are now devot-
ng themselves to the consideration of
scheme to establish markets at Chi
ago, ST. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City,
Now Yopk and other noints for. the | n
ale of cattle for future delivery. i
Both Bradstreet and Dunh's reports
