"The Lightning Rod AGENT

There was a good audience at the
opera house last hight to witness the
rendition of this thrilling drama, The
parts were all well taken, and Senter
Payton in the dual character of John
Scranton-detectivea and K. G. Hooper
lightning rod vender, could not be ex-
celled. He is an artist in any role he
may take, and will always amuse and
entertain an audience. Lucy Payton
has that naturalness In representing
the rollicking school girl that makes
one pleased with her acting. She
enters into the personation with SO
much spirit that leads the audience
almost to believe they rre witnessing
a scene from real life instead of an
artistic delineation of a stage character,
The other members of the troupe are
good, and keep up the interest in the
play. Tonight the "Old homestead
will be played, and this will unques-
tionably be an attraction that will fill
the opera house.

Letters Advertised.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is
not a quaek medicine. It was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians in
this country for years, and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect COM
bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing Catarrh. Send for testi-
monials, free.

Forty-Cent Wheat.

W. M. Chambers, grain merchant
of Pullman, speaking to Spokesman
Recie,c representative of wheat, said:
"Wheat is worth SO cents bushel
at any station in the Palouse country
free on board cars. We have con-:
tracted half million bushels of the
coming crop at 40 cents per bushel,
and are contracting all we can get at
that price. Our offer to contract it
at that. price has been the means Of
largely increasing the acreage in the
Palouse country, over what it other
wise would have been. This increased
price for wheat is going to be won
derful help to the Palouse country this
fall, and times will be much better
than they were last year."

A PERILOUS TRIP.
The Steamboat Norma to be Taken to the
Lower Snake.

Lower Snake.
La Grande Chronicle
Captain w. P. Gray and crew went
up to Huntington Tuesday, whittier
they were sent by Jacob Kamm, of
Portland, to take the steamer Norma
down to Pasco. This Is great under
taking and will be watched with inter.
est by all steamboat men in the north
west. Compared with it, the bringing
OF a steamboat down over the Cascades
is an easy task. The Norma, which is
large sternwheeler, was built at
Huntington in 1891 by Mr.. Kamm, and
was intended for trade between Hunt
ington and the Seven Devils territory,
She made only two trips and was then
laid up. Mr.. Kamm finds that he can
put her to good service on the lower
Snake, whereas the boat is useless at
Huntington. At any rate it is worth
making the trial.
The Snake river, between Hunting
ton and Lewiston, is at the low stage
of water, an almost continuous stretch
of rapids and eddies. The river is
navigable at all stages only from
Riparia to LIE wiston, and as Lewiston
is 200 miles below Huntington, it will
be seen that Captain Gray has no easy
task before him,
The Norma is being strengthened in
every possible manner for the trip and
will probably make the start the last
of this week. Should she make the
trip successfully she will be run in op-
position to the o. r. & N. boats on the
lower Snake,

The Baker County Homicide.

The Baker county coroner's jury
found that the killing of John Preston
by Thomas Goldworthy was deliberate
and unjustifiable. Samuel Rowe, who
witnessed the shooting at the Virtue
mine ON the night OF May Its testified
that after Preston had fallen some Of
the men suggested that Goldworthy be
1ynched. Preston said feebly, "Boys.
don't do that; he must be crazy"
Goldworthy was in very bad humor
the evening of the shooting, and
seemed determined to provoke q
quarrel with Preston. But little is

The presentation OF this drama at
the opera house last evening attracted
a fair audience, and every part was
we'll assigned. Mr.. Senter Payton as
Dan McGinty was excellent, and it
fully demonstrated the fact that he is
a master of the dramatic art, both in
tragedy and comedy. His support vas
very good, and there was not a poor

The Statesman had advices from

mission to the agent for delivery.

last summer. / have no information
as to when such returns will be re-
ceived: Taking everything into CON.

to open the surplus lands in the Nez

the next three months, and it may be
that much longer period will be re-
quired to complete the necessary pre-
nminaries,"

Mining in Grant County.

We copy the following from an ex-
change: son the John Day river and
on Dixie creek, near Prairie City, con-
siderable placer mining is being car
ried on and some very rich quartz dis
eoyeries have recently been made on
Dixie creek, about six miles north of
Prairie City. Two or three quartz
mines were worked on Dixie creek a
few years ago, but were for some rea.
son abandoned. They are now being
reopened and give promise of being
valuable properties. At Canyon City,
near the John Day river, great deal
of work is being done in the old pla-
GERS, and there are also some promis-
ing quartz developments in that

Farmers ENCOURAGED.

Farmers throughout the northwest
are encouraged by the advance in
wheat, and believe there will be some
profit in harvesting the coming crop.
Sales about Walla Walla have lately
been made at 38 cents per bushel which
is 10 cents better that was at the
beginning of the season. The present
price is said to allow small margin
over the cost OF production. When
the market was at it's strongest last
week, large amount of wheat was let
go in Eastern Orego on and Washington,
and some Of this grain is now finding
its way to tide water.

Notice to Water consnmers.

The Water Commissioners have
ordered that the rules concerning the
use OF water for irrigation be printep
and posted upon the gates of copsum-
ers so that all may understand what
the rules are. This has been done as
ordered. The great waste of water
heretofore and the limited supply,
make the enforcement of these rules
absolutely necessary. All consumers
will please take notice of these regu-
lations and in case of violation of
the rules the water will be at once
shut off and charge of S1.OO will be
made before again making the con-
nection. IL. NORMAN,

in 1880 was $43, ,642, ,O0O, 200, or an aver
age of $50 to each inhabitant: in 1890
It was S62, 800, 900, ,00G, or about $1,000
TO each inhabitant: and at both dates it
vas greater than the wealth of any

Der cent by people worth from $780,
