A full house last night greeted the

ton as Terrence O'Connor and Lucy
Payton as Kathleen were good, and
received frequent rounds of applause.
This play is full of Irish wit, and
always attracts good house.
The weather for the past week has
been favorable for ripening the straw
berry crop, says the Hood River Gld-
cier. The crop is in fine condition and
everything indicates big yield. Pick
ing has commenced on the lowlands
along the Columbia and in favored
spots along Hood river, and next week
the ranches throughout the valley will
be marketing the big red Clarke's
Seeding strawberry that is grown only
at Hood River to perfection.
An exchange says that Commander
P. N. McGiffen, the American who
served with the Chinese in the late
war, attributes the superiority of the
Japs in the naval battle to the fact
that they used shells, while the Chi
nese guns had nothing but solid shot.
He claimed that the Chinese gunners
were just as accurate, and bore them
selves with equal bravery, but were
not provided with modern prOjectiles.
Shells, or explosive projectiles will be
the feature of naval battles hereafter,
and will add to their horror.
The value of trees for their shelter
is important, and it has been estimated
that if One-fourth of the fields devoted
to cultivation were planted with trees
properly distributed, the other three
fourths would produce as much as the
whole, beside the timbir and fuel would
be clear gain. Trees planted near
marshes render them no longer
noxious to people living near them.
Where the proportion of one-fourth of
the land in timber, the other three
fourths in cultivation, is not maintained,
it is only question of time when the
effect will be noticed. The effect upon
the climate is of local character, and
this local modification is of great i'm

easily as could be expected.

A Wise Hawk.

Albany Herald: Mr.. II. M. Beall re-
ceiver of the Linn County Bank, and
another gentleman recently walked
over to the Excelsior prune orc hard
between Albany and Corvallis. On the
way they saw a large hawk flying over
field in search of prey. A Chinese
pheasant arose and few away with
such sudden force against a telegraph
wire that it was instantly killed. Mr..
Beall took the bird, which was plump
and fat, and tied it carefully in dense
bush, intending to get it on their
return, but when they came back they
found that the hawk had kept an eye
upon the proceeding and had hunted
out the pheasant and made meal of it.
1t was an intellectual hawk and, like
some people, was looking for soft
snaps.

SOUTHERN GILLIAN.
The People in That Region in Earnest
About Having Road to The Dalles.

ABOUT having Road TO The Dalles.
We are glad to learn the fact that the
residents of the southern portion of
Gillian county are in earnest in having
direct communication with this city,
thus affording them an opportunity to
reap the benefits of cheap water trans
portation to seaboard. We copy the
following from the Fossil Journal of
last week:
SON Thursday W. W. Steiwer, ]. W.
Gilman and W. W. Kennedy, county
surveyor, went over that portion OF the
proposed road to The Dalles, situated
between Fossil and the Buckhorn road
that leads to the mouth of Thirtymile.
They went down Butte creek to the
Cooley place, about II miles, then up
North Fork, 24 more, on to the fat,
and onward another two miles to the
existing county road.
"Mr. Kennedy informs US that they
found remarkably easy grade from
the creek to the fat, and no difficulties
whatever in the way of making a good
road, which he says will never get
muddy-the great drawback between
Mayville and Fossil and the Arlington
road. But for sagebrush, the entire
distance travelled by the party Thurs
day could have been gone over in q
buggy. The route crosses one corner

HIS LAST RIDE.
Man Found Dead Under the Pilot of q
Locomotive.

Man Found Dead Under the Pilot of a
Locomotive.
Yesterday morning about half-past
o'clock Sheriff Driver was notified
that dead man had been found on the
railroad track near the freight depot
in this city, supposed to have been run
over by the freight train that passed
west about half-past l o'clock. He
came down town Immediately; but be-
fore he arrived at the place where the
remains lay the locomotive from the
round house in passing up the track
had dragged the body about so yards,
and it was TAX en- from under the pilot
in front of the electric power house.
1t was in terribly mangled condition,
both legs being cut Off and the left arm
completely severed. Coroner Butts
being notified had the remains re-
moved to the undertaking establish
ment of Mr.. VIM. Michel and sum-
moned the following jury to hold the
inquest: F. Gabel, d. DeWOlf, E. l..
Fain, 5. P. M. Briggs, Fl. Liebe and
Frank Menefee. Several witnesses
were examined, but no Identification
of the man could be ascertained. After
hearing the testimony the following
verdict was rendered.:
1--WE, the jury empanelled by W. III.
Butts, cOroer of Wasco county, Ore
gon, to inquire into the cause of the
death of the body before US, after hear
ingthe testimony of the witnesses, find
that the body is of man feet and 8
inches in height, weight about 160
pounds, sandy complexioned, with dark
brown hair and sandy mustache,
dressed with two pairs of overalls, and
red undershirt, cotton shirt, blue duck
ing blouse or Jumper, new No. 9
Congress gaiter shoes, and good black
telt hat. We find no other mark by
which he could be identified, and his
name is unknown to us. We find that
he came to his death by being run
over by Freight No. q, going west
from The Dalles, at about 2 o'clock,
A. M. on the 10th day of May, 1895,
probably while trying to board the
train for free ride, and that his death
is not due to the fault or neglect of
any one except himself, so far as we
are able to learn"
After the inquest was held the mans
name was ascertained to be Chas. De-
Prest, aged about 25 or 80 years, and
he had been working for Mr.. A. M.
Kelsay at his farm below the city. He
came here from Yakima, where he
worked for some time, and where he
was known as Jerry Coleman and
"Texas." 1t is not known whether he
has any relatives in this country; but
he is supposed to be Canadian by birth.

Boys should Be,Kept Away.

Small boys are in the habit of MAX
ing the railroad depot rendezvous
and amusing themselves by riding on
passing trains. The employees of the
.. r. & N. Co. frequently drive them
off; but it seems Impossible to keep
them away. So far no accident has
happened; but if this habit is con-
tinued one may happen some day that
will cause sorrow to the parents. 1t is
no place for boys, and If there are
serious consequences the company
should not be held responsible. Par
ents should have guard over them,
and keep them from frequenting dam
gerous places.

estimated that 80 carloads Of berries
will be shipped from there to points as
far east as Omaha. Comparatively
few of them will be marketed here.
There is always great rivalry between
Hood River and Mount Tabor growers
to see which will get their fruit into

Tabor growers got their fruit in just
"a hours ahead of their rivals.

A Box of Fish Missing.

Mr.. c. F. Lauer is accustomed to
leave the boxes of salmon that he
desires shipped on the sidewalk, and
the express company's wagon comes
around every night before the arrival
of the east bound train and takes them
to the Office. Last night he left box
of about 80 pounds in the usual place,
directed to Dayton, WASH, and this
morning, observing that it was gone he
supposed the company had shipped it.
Upon making inquiry he found that it
had not been received by the express
company, and believes it to have been
stolen. He suspects no one of the
larceny, and is in quandary to
imagine who would purloin box of
fish. The sheriff has been informed of
the facts, and thorough investigation
will be made.
