An effort is being made at this term

The La Grande Chronicle mentions
a case OF lightning striking Wood.
chopper's cabin near Meacham. iasp
Sunday. The house was demollshed,
and the woodchopper who was eatlng
his supper at the time insists that tne
bolt that destroyed his cabin struck
him on the cheek. As the bolt tore q
shed off the main cabin, ripped the
ROOT to pieces and threw down one end
of the building, it is presumed that
the woodchopper's cheek is OF the !
nickel-steel variety, as the skin was
not abraded or the jaw broken.
Fishermen report the river full OF
big fat Chinook salmon, and think the
div1or rs1
one. Tho usual order of things seems
to have been reversed this year., the

and the Chinooks being three months
behind time. Usually the fall run is
composed largely of Steelheads and
Silversides but these are scarce, their
places being taken by the Chinook.
tn smother week the markets will be !,
again stocked with salmon, and we
hope to see the cannery here running
70 It's fullest capacity.
