From Saturdays Daily

- From Saturdays Daily.
Mr.. G. J. Farley returned from Port
land last night.
Mr.. E. Sichel arrived in the city
from Prineyille today.
The Columbia Packing Co. shipped

day. 49,
Mfr. o. Kinersly returned last night
on the train from short visit at Port
land.
Mrs. D., ]. Malarkey and child, of
Portland, arrived in the city on the
noon train today. -. .-,...-...
: The owner can have bride and
package that was picked up on the
street, by calling at this office.
Hon. w. H. Wilson was a passenger
on the train from Portland last night.
He had been on short visit to Port
land.
Mr.. Hugh Glenn, the contractor,
made a trip to Portland during the
week, returning last night on the
train.
Last night the west wind blew
violently, and the atmosphere today
has been more endurable than for
several days past.
The contesting teams in the tourna-
ment on the 4th have not been fully
determined yet. So far the captains
have been testing the endurance OF the
men and the best will be chosen.
Hon. J. B. Huntington, of Burns, is
in the city today. He returned from
Portland last night, and was accom-
panied by his daughter, who has been
attending the Salem university.
There were three cases of persons
being drunk and disorderly brought
before the recorder this morning, and
each of them was fined S5, to which
amount they reimbursed the city treas
gnry.
The wool market exhibits great
Saetivity in the city, and sales are made
at advanced figures. For choice
fieeces IL cents have been paid, and
some of the clip has been sold to the
Oregon City woolen mills.
There can be no doubt that grain is
suffering, in all parts of the county be-
cause of the drouth, and the season has
2 SO far advanced that showers are not
expected until after harvest. Every
farmer we, have talked with has the
same complaints to make about the
drouth and the grasshopper pest.
A Boston woman writes to the New
York Sun in this strain: "If it should
become necessary to fight for the en-
forcement of laws for which vote, I
stand ready to fight. Men talk about
the bullet behind the ballot. Do they
forget that poisons are more sure than
the bullet, and less easily guarded
against?"
49, The water is so low in the William
cite that hereafter boats that ply at all
above Salem can do so only irregu-
larly, and those boats that do go above
are of the very ightest draft. A few
bars and snags are the obstructing ele-
ments. Congress owes it to the Will
lamette valley to keep this waterway
open the year round.
A spook seen recently in Seattle
cemetery has turned out to be an inof-
fensive American whom the sexton
had hired to assist him. This man
watered the flowers about 8 o'clock
each morning, and to light him on his
way used an old headlight which cast
strange lights and worked on the i'm
agination of the credulous. J
It is remarkable fact that the
county of Grant, Oregon, has not one
mile of railroad, telegraph or tele-
phone line; not o mile of express
route, nor bank within its limits. 1t
is rich in all the resources of mineral,
stock, agricultural and lumber indus
tries, but has never been developed.
The people there do not expect ever to-
have railroad.~& 3
A warrant of arrest was issued by
Recorder Dufur this morning against
Bert Hawthorne, on the complaint Of
his wife, she alleging that he had
threatened her life, and she was in
great fear of bodily injury from him.
She alleges many acts against him
which has rendered her life miserable,
and she desires that he be placed under
bonds to keep the peace. The trial
was had this afternoon and the
defendant placed under 500 bonds to
keep the peace.
