The Northern Pacific

Next Tuesday morning the Northern
Pacific railroad passes into the hands of
reorganized Northern Pacific Railway
company, and Receivers Bigelow and
McHenry, Of the eastern DIVISIONS, and
Burleigh, Of the Pacific, have issued
circular announcing the termination of
their trust. President E. w. Winters
first official executive order reappoints
practically the entire corps oi old officials
in the company rior to the receivership.
Strong faith is felt in tho salu,ary effects
of the removal of the finanfial difficulties
and mismansgement which forced this
property, one of the most valuable in the
United States, II to temporary Insolvency
and its reorganiz ltion, in the face of con-
tinued depression, is a matter for con-
graduation. Industries and enterprises,
which have been retarded by the effects
Of receivership, will eornmence to 90 for
ward once more to the benefit of the en-
tire country tributary to the line, and the
opportunities for general advancement,
especially throughout the Pacific North
west, are enhanced with the assurance OF
a settled policy and such assistance as is
consistent with good railway manage
ment.

A Haauu Rain

A very heavy rain fall occurred in this
section from o'clock, a. M, to 6 a. M,
Monday. The dust was thoroughly laid,
and wheat in the sacks not under shelter
was given a thorough soaking. Three
years ago, rain ruined fully one-fourth of
the wheat crop of Umatilla county, and
wheat raisers generally promised them
selves that in future they would cover
their grain and thus insure loss from
rain, but it is doubtful if many have
profted by past experience, and covered
their grain with straw. Straw would ef-
fectually prevent grain from sprouting
from dampness, If put on Immediately
after threshing. A few hours work, after
the machine has pulled up would, should
wet spell set in, save the farmer many
a sack of wheat, which would otherwise
result in total loss. Cover up your
grain.

Notes From Dixie.

Fern Dale, Sept. Q, 1e9e.--Perhaps
few lines from this neck of the woods
would be of interest to your many read
ers, SO here goes for luck anyway.
School begins September 7, at Fern
Dale, with August Babe, of Dry creek, as
principal, and Miss Stella Wells as as
sistant. teacher.
Mrs, Geo. Young, Of Milton, died yes
terday at O'Clock.
TheIteachers institute, now being held
in Milton, is attended by something over
so up to date, with more expected to at
tend yet. Hon. Judge Lowell delivered
fine educational lecture at the opera hall
Sept. 1, to large and attentive audience.
Fruit picking is at its height now, with
fruit in fair demand, and peddlers aa
thick as flies in barrel.
The infant child of Fred Williams is
quite sick with summer complaint. They
are now stopping at the home of his
brother, Frank Williams, of this place.
Myrtle Crockett, A. J. Crigler, Mrs.
Clements and two or three OF the Martin
children and Fred Johnson are all on the
sick list, but are slowly improving.
The heaviest rain Of the summer or fall
fell last Sunday night, which caused the
mountain campers to pull for the valley
in double quick time, to the line OF "we'll
all be home in the morning."
Wheat hauling is the go of the day with
the farmers.in this part of the country as
threshing is out of date now. and wheat
hauling is the order. DIXIE.

Funeral of Samuel Mansfield Saturday

Funeral of Samuel Mansfield Saturday
in this City.
ALI that was mortal of Samuel Mane-
field, came in on the Saturday morning
passenger, from Colfax, Washington.
The remains were accompanied to this
city by George Mansfield, son OF the de-
ceased. The funeral took place from the
Christian church, the sermon was de-
livered by Elder G. Rushing. The re-
mains were followed to their last resting
place, in the Athena cemetery, by large
concorse of friends, acquaintances and
relatives.
samuel Mansfield died in Colfax, Au.
gust 81, aged 66 years, of heart failure.
The death was very sudden one. Mr..
Mansfield felt unwell on Thursday morn
ing, and concluded to go to bed. His
condition was not regarded as serious,
but after retiring his vitality quickly sank,
and by o'clock he was dead.
Mr.. Mansfield was an old pioneer, hav-
ing gone to the Willamette valley in 1852,
from his native state, Illinois, where he
was born in 1880. During the greater
part of his lie he was engaged in packing
and mining, and in these pursuits visit
ed and prospected or packed into almost
every prominent mining camp in the
Northwest during early days. For q
number of years he made Lis home in
Athena, where he now has two brothers,
and sister living. In the fall of 1890 he
went to Colfax, where he afterwards re-
sided with his sons, George and Frank
Mansfield. He has brother still resid-
ing on the old home farm in Illinois.

The Mystery Of the Bottle.

The mystery surrounding the finding
of the note signed "Walter Wallace" as
stated in the last issue of the PRESS stat
ing that murder had been committed
at Starbuck and that the writer was held
captive in the Blue mountains, is still
unsolved. A telegram to the chief of
police at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, brought the
respond that Wallace is not known there.
This does not yet establish, beyond a
doubt, that the whole affair is "fake, /"
although it begins to look like it. Cedar
Rapids is a city with population of
about 900 and the chief of police could
not have made very thorough investi-
CATION between the time OF receiving the
telegram from here and his reply. If,
however, some idiot entertained the idea
that it would be funny" to place that
note in bottle and start it down the
stream just to see where il would turn up
and what would become of it, he has q
very mistaken conception of what is fun
nv.

Wagon Ran Over Him.

Physicians who attended Charles Perk
ins on Thursday, think the heavy loaded
wagon passed over Perkins body. Marks
across his breast indicate this. Perkins
Sho was the Is year old young man who
was knocked from a wagon by a stroke
Of lightning Thursday morning. II ap-
pears that the young man was on load
Of wheat which he was hauling from the
threshing machine towards town. There
we're about 80 sacks on the wagon. A
brother was ahead with similar load.
Charles was stunned by the lightning.
He remembered nothing about the thun-
der or lightning, although the brother
says he heard and cav them plainly.
They were 100 yards apart, and the
brother saw Charles team come trotting
up with no driver. Charles was found
near the barb wire fence. and had been
dragged for quite distance. Bruises and
cuts were made on his arm, hip, shoulder
and head, very severe injuries. Although
badly shaken and scared, young Perkins
was not marked by the lightning and will
recover in a short time from the cuts.
