in the home circle. a mother who
had patience would he better

more patience would be a grand

to, and the speaker said that he

Sentiment was another one of his
thoughts, and in dilating on it he
paid glowing tribute to the senti-

dence of James E. Maynes. which was
separated from the burning building
by 14-foot alleyway and house oc-
cupied by James Empey. located some
distance south of the mill. but it was
a hard fight and several times it look
ed as though the other buildings would
certainly go.
The loss on the mill is $500 and s275
on the other two buildings. The mill
was not insured and is total loss.
Mr.. Mortensen just purchased the
property three weeks ago and had
started the mill UP for the first run in

Most Efficient Officers.

The resignation of Acknowledgement
George NJ. Ottinger was yesterday ac-
cepted by Governor West, and Major
John Q. Cannon of the First cavalry, was
appointed in his stead.
General Ottinger has occupied the posi-
ton just vacated since the first organiza-
ton of the n. G. u, and during the or
ganizing of the various companies
throughout the territory, has gained the
good will and respect of all with whom he
has come in contact. The reasons for the
change have not been made public. but it
is understood that. as the office has taken
his entire time and attention and things
are now running more smoothly than was
possible during the first period of the
guards existence, he finds it necessary to
devote his time to his own affairs; the
Office. in itself, yielding but a poor in
per year.
The order issued by his excellency yes
terday, in which the changes were first
announced is as follows:

ule while the articles in question
were taken up. over an hour and g
half was used up in dotting is ane
crossing is, changing words, trans
posing them, putting inland striking
out commas and periods. and all sucf
work in that direction.
During the discussion on this matter
Lund, of Sanpete. who, in the mean
time, had been scanning the article or
education to find some provision which
would prevent the location of the state
normal school at Ephraim, claimed the
floor and said that the point of ordel
against his amendment had beer
wrongfully raised by Roberts. The
latter, therefore, gave notice that he
would move to reconsider the vote
whereby the article ION public buildings
and state institutions was passed.
No Separate Judicial Elections.
The only change of particular inter
est during the discussion over the re-
port of the committee on compilation
and arrangement was the result of a
continual agitation which has been
kept up ever since the article on cleo
tions and suffrage passed and it was
provided therein that the school
judicial and municipal elections should
be held separate from the general cleo
tons. The fight was renewed on the
committees report yesterday and
under suspension of the rules, all pro
visions relating to special elections
were stricken out
The convention finished up the pre-
amble, declaration of rights, and
articles on boundaries. ordinance and
elections and right of suffrage, and
they went to the committee on enroll
ment. The legislative and executive
article remained to be finished when
the matter was laid aside.

Ell Paso, Tex, April SO.-It Is re-
ported here that a telegram has been
received from Mexico City, announc-
ing that President Diaz had issued
decree opening the ports of Tampico,
Guayanas and Vera Cruz, for the en-
trance of bonded goods in transit for
the free zone. Senior Bauche, collector
of customs at Juarez, had received no
instructions, but Senior Oggarrio col
lector of customs at Nogales, arrived
today from Mexico City, and says he
was informed at the treasury depart
ment that a resolution opening the
ports would be passed by Congress.
The merchants here do not believe
such a measure will be enacted by the
Mexican government, and if it is the
people on the border will appeal to the
United States Congress to place them
on an equal footing with the Mexican
free zone.

Notwithstanding society, a branch of
Portland Mazamas, having for its object
the collection and dissemination of his
torical data of the State, is to present a
unique measure before the Oregon Legis-
Iature.
The club has resolved to petition the
Legislature for permission and aid to have
an appropriate inscription and the Oregon
coat -of-arms carved on the southern face
OF Pilot rock, that noble granite landm ark
between Oregon and California, ard for
mally dedicated as a monument for all
time to DR.. Marcus Whitman, one of Ore
CONS earliest discoverers.
The suggestion has met with great deal
of favor, and If the legislative aid is re-.
fused it is probable popular subscription
will be raised for the purpose of perpetual
ing the names of Carver Gray and Whit
man, whose services, the Crater Club
thinks, have not been sufficiently recog-
niZed.
Captain Jonathan Carver, soldier and
explorer, first gave the name Oregon to
geography and literature, so designating
the territory of the Northwest in his book
printed in 1878. To Captain Robert Gray
belongs the honor of the discovery of the
"Great River of the West" while Whit
man, the missionary, first carried the mes
sage of salvation to the Indian tribes of
the Northwest.

Growers.
Arrest of Two Women Suspected
of Being the Lompoc

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. %. - Colonel
Philo Hersey, president of the Santa Clara
County Fruit Exchange, in speaking of
the fruit crop yesterday, said:
THE crop this year was abundant and
the prices realized were satisfactory.
Prunes formed the larger portion of the
crop. 1t is estimated, that of the entire
crop not over one-eighth still remains in
the valley.
There is absolutely no market for prunes
now, and 1 do not contemplate any activ-
ity until after the middle of January
Apricots, peaches, pears and silver prunes
are nearly closed out, and there is still
some demand for these at very good prices.
but our principal sale are upon the Pacific
Coast. l do not notice much fiuctuation
in the price OF these fruits at this point
In speaking OF the light rainfall this
season Colonel Hersey said: "If we are
going to have.a light fall of rain this sea-
son prefer to see it come late. The trees
are in a dormant condition now, but about
the 1st of February they will be showing
signs of life and should have sufficient
moisture to supply their thirst.
when there is heavy rainfall l con-
slider il best for the orchardists to have the
heavy showers before February and after
that to have light showers to keep the sur
face of the ground moist"

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 29.-Travis
Krump, a well-known citizen of this city
attempted suicide this morning by firing
two shots from revolver into the right
side of his head. The first ball glanced
around the skull, and the second lodged
near the base of the brain, and there is
small hopes of his recovery.
Krump was formerly member of the
police force and was also at one time in
the employ of the Postoffice Department
as letter carrier. Lately he has been en-
ployed as bartender in a downtown sa-
loon.
This morning after his night shift had
ended he went to his residence. 414 M
street, and leaving word with the family
at what hour he desired to be called re-
tired to his apartment.
Shortly afterward the report of two
shots in rapid succession rang out and on
entering his room Krump was found lying
on his bed in an unconscious condition.
1t is stated that the unfortunate man,
who is brother-in-law of ex-Mayor Greg
ory of this city, had been very despondent
of late, but no further cause is assigned
for his rash act.
