Elephantine Excitement.

During the parade this morning two
of the large elephants became enraged
at each other, and broke away from
the procession. They cleared the
thoroughfare on Second street as they
came down, and one team of horses
ran away breaking the wagon to which
they were attached. 1t created con-
siderable excitement for little while;
but it soon Quilted down and no further
damage was done. Many people ran
off the walk into stores, and others Up
stairs to be out of the way. The larger
elephant was an angry animal, and
appeared to have a desire to wreck
vengeance on the keeper, who eluded
him in every possible way. 1t seems
that this monstrous quadruped had
been nursing his wrath to keep it
warm" for several days. and this morn
ing before the procession formed be-
gan to show his ill-humor. 1t was re-
ported at one time that the keeper of
the elephant was killed in the melee;
but upon inquiry it was found not to
rest on any foundation. The keeper
was badly scared at the time, and
jumped into the basement of the old
building on the corner of Second and
Federal.

Cad Accident at the Cascade Locks an,
Heroic Attempt at Rescue.

| Heroic Attempt at Rescue.
Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock,
Mrs. Schrouden, a widow woman who
lives near Stephenson, Wash, fell off
the incline near the boat landing and
was drowned before she could be res
cued. She had been on board the Reg
ulator selling berries, when, on return
ing to the Locks she walked on the
outer edge OF the ties and missed her
footing and fell into the river. The
pied by cars of the portage railroad,
and the space between was hardly suf-
ficent 10 admit of the passage Of a per-
son. This induced her to go around
and take the outside walk, and the
space being very narrow caused her to
slip and fall. As soon as it was known
that she was in the water the first Of
tfcer, Mr.. Chas Alden, tied rope
around him, jumped into the river and
swan manfully to her rescue. The
deck hand having hold of the line
which Mr.. Alden had tied to his person,
it proving not long enough, let it 60
and threw him another rope. The cur
rent was very strong, and by the most
strenuous exertions he could not get
nearer the woman than about ten feet.
Finally he became exhausted, and be-
gan to sink. A boat was lowered, and
he was pulled from the river after he |
had sunk about a foot below the sur
face. When taken out he was almost |
and suffered from retch- |
ing during the remainder of the day |
and night. The woman remained on |
the surface for short time, but when |
the boat was lowered she had sunk be- |
low the surface and could not be seen.
Mrs. Schrouden was young woman
about 25 years old, and her husband
died at Stevenson about year ago.
Every effort was made to recover the
body; but without success up to the
time of the Regulator leaving at 3
o'clock. The event has cast shade
Of gloom over that community. !

shows there tonight. It Is unfortu
! nate the excursion did not leave today
so as to give Baker City people q
chance to escape. It Is the same ole
Uncle Toms show that was here with
their big tent and fraudful bills week
or SO ago.
The middle-C Columbia section was
we'll represented at the circus last
night, the Regulator bringing up a
large number of passengers who came
for the purpose of seeing the circus, or
allowing the little folks to do so. Most
of them returned to their homes on the
boat this morning.
The stage to Prineville carries from
three to five bicycles a week to that
place and points along the way. It
looks indeed as if the days of the cay
use were numbered when his erstwhile
owner abandons him to take up with
the bike. The bike has two points in
its favor, it is easier to catch and not
so uncertain in its temper.
The Portland daily Sun did not shine
yesterday, and it was supposed that it
had gone down for good, but this morn
ing it was up and shining again hav-
ing suffered but an eclipse. 1t is in

out reduced in size to just half its or
iginal magnitude, it is fair to presume
that it is practicing what it preached,
and has come down to a free coinage
basis.
Mrs. Hattie L. Bundy, has filed a
homestead on 160 acres of land near
Mosier. The American woman is ag.
gressive, and able to take care of her
self, even when it comes to taking
half-mile square of wild land. 1t will
prove valuable in the future, when the
American people awake to the fact that
there is no more government land and
that the land owner will be the lucky
man.
The wind-up of the circus came this
morning before the city recorder in the
shape of four drunks, two of whom
were fined $40 each and the other two
got off with half that sum. That is to
say they were fined half that amount,
but they did not in fact get off with it,
for the reason that they did not have
it, and did not get off at all, but are
doing work as we'll as time, instead. |
Besides this, one man was arrested I
for fast riding but the evidence show |
ing that mis- horse ran away with him,
he was discharged. One lonesome !
tramp who was taxed S. because he |
was broke completed the business of |
the city court for the day.

The Daily Sun q Corpse.

The Portland Sun will not appear
this morning, nor hereafter, says the
Qregoniqn of today. A meeting of the
conductors of the Sun was held yes
terday, and it was decided to suspend
publication. The property was al
ready in the hands of sheriff's
keeper, and the accumulating finan-
cial difficulties of the publishing COM
pany finally became so great that it
was impossible to bear them longer.
The Sun has been in existence since
October Is, of last year, and has been
run continuously as morning oppo-
sition newspaper. 1t has been no Sc
cret of late that it was sorely in need of
money, and it is known strenuous eff
forts were made to raise funds. They
were unsuccessful, and the end came
yesterday.

CROP-WEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
July go, 1898.

WEATHER-Decidedly the warmest
weather for the season occurred on
Monday and Tuesday, the temperature
reaching l04 degrees on Tuesday at
Walla Walla; during the remainder of
the week the weather was comparative
ly cool. with some cloudiness. On
Tuesday light sprinkles of precipita-
tion occurred.
SPECIAL GRAIN REPORT-Heading
has commenced with vigor in all the
Columbia river counties. Crops of fall
sown grain are turning out better than
the expectations warranted. This con-
dition is especially evident on low
ground. Barley sown in the fall is
good crop, though the yield is below
the average. There is smaller acre.
age of barley. Spring sown grain
crops are still suffering. Warm,
dry weather has made failure of them
as rule, The crops in Wasco and
Sherman are very good, approaching
near to the average. Recently great
numbers of grasshoppers have come
over into Wasco and Sherman from
the adjacent counties on the east, and
they have done much damage to crops
in general, though all crops are ad-
vanced. The oat crop seems to have
suffered the most. On low land, where
the oats are green the grasshoppers
have cut off the stock as well as the
blade. The average yield OF fall sown-
grain will also be reached in the
Walla Walla valley, but the spring
sown has suffered in that section.
Wasco and Sherman counties and the
Walla Walla valley will produce a
good quality of fall-sown grain. In
The other Columbia valley counties the |
berry will be small, and in some Sec
lions the grain will be shriveled. Only |
grain on low ground will produce |
good quality. In sections of Union !
and Baker counties some spring grain |
had been cut for hay, since the warm
weather dispelled the hope that it
would still fill and become a fair crop.
conservative estimate of the grain
crop south and east of the Blue noun
aims is two-thirds of an average. A
very good quality will be produced in
Maaheur, klamath and Harney from
,he irrigated lands. Grassheppers are
till doing destructive work. Early
'rosts damaged more grain than the
lrouth in the elevated sections. There
8 an abundance of fruit, and the fruit
shipments are very large. Peaches,
3lums and early apples are OF the finest
quality. Fall apples will be abundant.
Potatoes are still geeen, though If the
YARN dry weather continues the pota-
oes will be small and the yield light.
laying continues with generally light
'ields, The spring wheat and oats
which have been cut for hay, together
With the old hay left over from last
eason will improve the prospects for
he winter. There are some very good
ields of alfalfa. All ranges are suffer-
ag for rain. There is not grass suffi-
lent on the range to supply the needs
+ stock. A rain even at this late date
zould bedefit many crops and improve
he range grass.
