MCCOY pitch An right.

q Mr.. w. G. Kerns returned from the
Wapinitia country today, and confirms
all previous reports as to the celerity of
work on the Mccoy ditch. A feeling of
security is now apparent among all,
caused from seeing large force of men
daily pushing the work. Mr.. Ehrichsen,
the contractor, is yet firm in his predic-
tion that the work will be finished in
ninety,days, and the work as progressing
now certainly warrants the belief. This
ditch, when completed. viii open out a
large and valuable stretch of country to
agriculture and horticulture, which will
quadruple in value when under water.
Mr.. Kerns also reports there, is shortly
to be erected near Wapinitia sawmill
of 10000 feet daily capacity. It is to be
erected on the MacD. Lewis place.

Trouble over a Fish wheel.

J John Gomez, well-known river fish
erman of Spanish descent, and ]. T..
Ror1ck, justice of the peace at Rockland,
have conflicting interests as to fishing
rights, which eliminated this morning
in the arrest of Gomez by Rorick. He
was arrested and released twice, and at
last accounts was again re-arrested, and
whether at this moment he is under ar
rest or at liberty is matter of conject-
ure. Gomez has fish wheel across the
river, upon which Rorick claims mort
gage. This morning force of men un-
dertook to cross the river to perform
some work upon the wheel, when they
were forbidden to land. They landed,
however, and began work. They were
then ordered not to work. The trouble
come into court.

GOLD NEAR PRlNEvILLE.
Quartz Mill Machinery Now En- Route
to New Mining Field.


G. 81. Gray, capitalist, .. T. Griffin,
attorney, and Emil II. Klugg, mining
expert, are the names of three Chicago
gentlemen who arrived in the city Sun
day, and left Tuesday for the Ochoco
country, where they have mining inter
ests.
1t is learned that Mr.. Klugg was in
that country year ago investigating
the merits of some recently discovered
gold bearing quartz mines, and his re-
port must have been highly satisfactory
to cause Mr.. Gray to come out here, bring
ing with him a Chicago attorney to.
attend to the question of title
and draw up the incorporation papers.
In fact Mr.. Klugg stated to gentleman
of this city that the prospects we're as
good as any he ever saw, and that is say
ing great deal for a man of his exper-
ience. Further corroborations of the
excellence of the ore and its quantity is
found in the fact that the machinery to
reduce the ore has been ordered and is
now on the way to The Dalles from Chi
cago.
The Prineville country so far has been
free from any great mining boom, but
the above facts would seem to be quite
likely to precipitate one in the near
future.

Fruit Prospects.

The weather of the past few days has
fruit buds, and unless something uni
usual in that line happens, there will,
be a tremendous output of fruit in Wasco
county. Mr.. P. ]. Stadelman says therd
will be profitable demand for good
fruit the coming season, and Mr..
Schanno, speaking upon that subject
says that Alaska will from this on fur
nish constantly growing market fof
fruit, especially winter apples.
The trouble is that great deal of fruit
raised by the growers is next to worth
less. Some standard variety should be
selected, and enough trees planted of
one kind to- make it an object to pur-
chasers. There is no danger of over
stocking the market. The best grade of
apples are now selling for 50 box, as
good a figure as ever before, and the
yield increases greatly each year. When
fruit grower hears of some one about
to plant 160 acres of orchard it should
not cause him alarm that the price for
fruit will drop because of the increased
yield. If every acre in Wasco county
capable of nourishing fruit tree were
planted to a single variety of some good
winter-keeping apple, there would be
no trouble about selling every box of
the fruit. The competition would not
be among the growers, bnt among the
buyers, who would. be here from all
over the western half of the United
States to buy Wasco county apples.

Portland had a letter yesterday from a

There is a giant ten and half feet

About 8 20 this morning Portland was
visited by single earthquake shock of
brief duration. The Oregonian reports
that the shock, though over in almost
moment, attracted and alarmed the
people who noticed and felt it, because
of the deep rumbling noise that accom-
panied, thing new with such phenom-
ena here. The night clerk at the Per-
kins felt 1t, and said the vibration of
the building was felt SO plainly as to

An lnhuman spectacle was witnessed

IN human shape called William Goff,
captured an eagle by breaking one of it's
wings and leg, afterwards arranging a
fight to the death with two dogs. The

ing over seven feet, and the battle lasted
more than an hour, at the end of which
time the bird lay dead on a feather-cov-
cred feld.-Moro Observer.
The Oregonian makes the charge that
within the last week from 300 to 400
toughs, many of them desperate, have
arrived in Portland for the sole purpose
of voting the Frank Hume Minto ticket
at the primaries today. These hoboes
have been given the tip to come 70
Portland, and they have swarmed in
from Tacoma, Seattle, Port Townsend
and other places without fear of moles-
tation or of being sent to the rockpile,
and that they are there under police
protection.
The Portland Telegram says that re-
turning parties from McMinnville,
where excitable stories abound regard
ing the new finds of gold there, have not
so much to tell regarding the discoveries
of ore as the attitude of the people tow
ard strangers. There is said to be de-
cided disinclination to give out informa-
ton regarding the ore, and the people
are actually opposed to newcomers in
vading the place and creating boom.
A game called Editors Delight, 2 all
though quite new, is worth playing and
should become popular at this season Of
the year. The plan is this: Take an
ordinary sheet of white paper, fold care
fully and inclose bank note sufficiently
large to pay all arrearages and one year
in advance. What adds immensely to-
the pleasure of the game is to send along
the name of new subscriber or two, ac-
coInpanied by the cash. Keep your eye
on the editor, and if smile adorns his
face, which is almost certain, you win
the game.
The Elks met in Fraternity hall Sat-
urday night, and by an oversight some
of the property of the lodge was not
placed under lock. The next day the
hall being used for other purposes, some
party or parties rummaged among them,
exposing them to the view of others,
and then, not content, carried the news
of their discoveries to the streets. 1t is
idle to say that those who receive proper
home training will not meddle with
what does not concern them, for they
already know it, and those who have
not, cannot appreciate.it. No harm can
accrue to the Elks from an exhibit of
their paraphernalia, but one who peers
through keyheles and windows, or in
vades privacies where they have no busi-
ness or interest, can never regain the
respect of their neigh bors.

wardrobe and make a creditable ap-
pearancs on all occasions.
Ten thousand dollars will just about
carry pretty young maiden through
the four-months' winter season dating
from the November horse show to the
Nit Careme dance in mid lent.
To begin with, my lady must have a
carriage and a coachman and footman,
/; and this will mean to her indulgent
papa the neat little sum Of 5000 per
month, or $500 for the season. Her
saddle horse and riding escorts, habit
and riding paraphernalia will come to
fully $500 more. A box for evening in
the week at the opera house will call
for $500, and doesn't box at the horse
show means $3.50 more.
Pretty little lunohsons, with now
and then dinner party and a crush
tea, will take check for 5000, and a
fresh bunch of violets each day, bon
bons and the thousand demands from
charities and poor folks will use up a
pin-money allowance of $25 per week.
This very moderate allowance mean g
$400, to be subtracted from the amount
which the pretty girl herself, or her in
dulgent mother, has coaxed from the
stern parent, whose sole business at
home seems to be that of signing
checks One subscription to the swell
skating rink is $25. and an equal sum
is demanded at the Michaux Bicycle
club before you can drink drop of
tea or mount your polished wheel
Twenty-seven hundred has vanished
like mist, and my lady has not gown
to her back, or a shoe for her pretty
little foot, and clothes we're never so
costly and never required 30 much
cloth to drape the human form divine.
In the good old days OF Marie Antoin-
cite, whom we are striving 80 hard to
dress and look like, though the skirts
we're voluminous the sleeves we're al
most skin tight. Now it takes an equal
amount of silk for the sleeves and the
skirt.
Everything is made of or trimmed
with fur, and the favorits pelt is err
mine, which for some reason may be
because it is king chosen, and is the
most expensive of all furs. A long
Jacket of seal skin lined throughout
with ermine, with huge collar, ending
in long, stole-like pieces, with deep
cuffs of the wonderful white and black
will cost $500 at the very least.
An opera cloak Of white velvet lined
with mink and trimmed with bands of
gold embroidery bordered by the rich
brown fur, will cost, with fur-lined
overshoes to match, $500.
No right-minded young woman would
begin the season without eight beauti-
full, fresh ball gowns, for there must
be new one for each of the three Pc
triarch balls, two for the assemblies,
one for the bachelors ball, which, by
the way, is the jolliest of balls and
calls for the very prettiest of gowns;
