The past two days have been uncom-
fortably warm, the thermometer rang
ing in the neighbOrhood of 80 degrees.
No serious results have happened so
far, but change is desired very much.
At the stockyards of r. E. Salt

awaiting shipment, and several fine
thoroughbred bucks have been received

The man who tied the coal oil can to
the steer, which frightened the team
of horses Mr.. Snodgrass was driving,
and resulting in severe injuries to him,
is known to his neighbOrs in the vicin-

there is some talk of making an ex-
ample of the man.
A beautiful sight, witnessed by many
last night, was caused by a brilliant
star maintaining its position for long
while just on the edge of the disk of the
moon, which is in it's first quarter. The
phenomenon was greatly admired, and
some superstitious people considered
it pOrtentious of good times in the
future.
Mr.. Richard Pa mer, who has farm
near Dufur, called at the Z. NJ, Office
this afternoon. He says the grain on
his farm is in good condition, but in
other places in the vicinity of Dufur it
is being cooked by the hot weather
If rain falls within tbe next ten or
twelve days the crops may be saved;
but if it does not they will suffer.
Oregon might profitably emulate the !
example of Massachusetts. That state !
is about to carry out plan of estab- |
fishing farm of 1000 acres, where
vagrants will be sent and put through
a compulsory course in agriculture for
one or two years. The tramp has
objection to the acquisi-
tion of knowledge when it is compli-
Gated with anything resembling full
days work.
An interesting dog fight took place
On Third street last night, and was
witnessed by a large crowd of spec
tators. Judge Blakeley's dog "Guy,"
met an antagonist and went for him
In true Sullivan style. "Guy" is large
and plucky, and the fire hose was
turned on him; but this did not make
him loose his hold of the other dog.
He was finally struck over the head
With the nozzle, and the fight ended,

Jackson Engine Co. and Columbia
Hose Co. have teams that practice
,ach evening for the tournament on
he 4th of July. They do their running
m Third street and furnish quite an
to spectators. Time has
lot been noted yet, and the principal
,bject appears to be test of the agil-
ty and powers of endurance of differ :
mt members of the companies named.
t is very likely that Mt. Hood and
Last End Hose companies will also
ave contestants in the tournament on
he 4th of July.
It does not appear fair to give all the
redit to Mr.. G. l.. Phillips as the
'est angler in this vicinity; but he t
GEMS to be more successful than any J
ther person. One day this week he
pent fishing, and returned with about 6
SO trout as result. On his part it ,
equired no effort to catch fish, and he 6
hrows his hook into the stream and I
he trout grab for it. When the ed
tor requires brain food, and that is I
.uiet frequently, he simply intimates
is desires to Mr.. @. L. P, and the
ext day fish are forthcoming.
