last night, says the La Grande Chronicle.
He has just returned from 9 trip across
the mountains by way of the Woodward
route, bringing with him a band of
hsrses. Owing to the fact that there was
a much heavier fall of snow in the noun
tains than was generally supposed, Mr.
Fleetwood came near losing bis entire
band Of horses, and it was only after four
days Of hard work that he finally. sue.
ceeded in getting most of them through.
The snow was about i've feet deep, with
crust that would bear about hall the
weight Of horse. Notwithstanding that
Mr.. Fleetwood had about 40 head Of
horses, he found it almost impossible to
break road through the mountains, for
few minutes work in the lead would
completely tire hore out. Finally the
summit was reached, and there Mr..
Fleetwood was compelled to leave his
wagon and camp outfit, besides five
horses that were unable to proceed

Walla Walla, Nov. II. =. James E. Stew

coolest criminals that ever occupied a
cell, is in the county Jail on the charge OF
arson. Ever since the burning of the
Abbot barn on May 26 last, and the
Northern Pacific elevator on June 8, both
OF which were plainly of incendiary orr
gin, the police and the sheriff's office
have been working diligently to ferret
out the mystery. For month or more
it has ceased to be a mystery to the offic-
ers, but having became satisfied that
they had the right man spotted they de-
ferred the arrest until they had encircled

and Short Line.
Certain rumors now going around on
wings of railroad gossip connect O. r.. &
N. %. and Oregon Short Line q Utah.
Northern quite closely. Dispatches occasi-
onally refer to the contemplated segrega.
tion of the Short Line, and it seems now
more then likely that the segregation
will take place. February next is named
as the date for the separation. Several
monthsago, it was matter of speculation
whether or not the navigation company
would secure control of the short Line.
Now the speculation is rife again; and
Major Mcneil is reported to be inter-
esting himself 10 the plans for the haul :
ing OF the Utah road, and iseaid to want
to control 1t and run itin connection with
the Navigation properties. 1t has been
intimated that the rumored train changes
are more dependent on McNeill's success
in getting hold Of the Short Line. then
on any schedule now effecti ye or which
may be made out by Mr.. Hill OF the Great
N't'n Should the Short Line come under
Navigation control the passenger trains
would doubtless run direct from Pendleton
TO Portland and not via Walla Walla
as at present
Railroad men are discussing the reported
plans of the Great Northern to get into
Portland over their own rails, by building
from the Sound. Such a move would
radically alter the relation sustained by
the Great Northern and Navigation COM
pany. Many people misunderstood what
means the Oregon Short Line & Utah
Northern, thinking them two roads.
The two are now ons concern and are a
consolidation Of the old Oregon Short
Line and the Utah Northern into one
company for all practical purposes.

Curious Inscription Seen on Tombstone

The following curious inscription to the memory of George Routleigh, a watchmaker by trade, occurs in the churchyard at Lydford, Devon: Here lies, in horizontal position, the outside case of George Rutleigh. whose abiding in that line was an honor to his profess sion. Integrity was his handspring, and prudence the regulator of all the ac- tions of his life. Humane, generous and liberal, his hand never stopped till he had relieved distress. Sincerely reg ular were his motions. He never went wrong except when set agoing by peo- pie who did not know his key. Even then he was easily set right again. He had the art of disposiEg of his time so well thot his hours glidcd iu one cont;r- ual round of pleasure and delight tilf an unlucky minute put an crd to his existence. He departed this life, No vember, 1902, wound up in hope of be- ing taken in hand by his Maker and of being thoroughly cleaned, repaired and set agoing in the world to come.'

Snakes for Iceland.

Iceland has from time immemorial
 enjoyed a strange immunity from rep tiles. This seems to have grated upon
 the nerves of two German naturalists, who, emulated by the same spirit which induced the Chicago contractor to send in an offer to the town council of the Italian city of Pisa to straighten the leaning tower which is the principal at traction of the place, are now devoting their energies to introducing reptiles into Iceland. They have already ex- perimented with frogs, both Danish and prussian, and as the pioneer serv- ice cf these humble handmaids of the biologist has proved successful, a cargo Of abie-bodied snakes is about to be dumped on the island, unless King Christian sees fit to resist this alto gether novel form Of German invasion.

DEAF MUTES DANCE.
A Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps
 the Step for Them.

A social club of deaf mutes exists in Warsaw since 1883, and as there are a large number of persons thus af1ict- ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the club is doing very well. During the last week of carnival the club arranged q ball, and in order to enable the mem Der to dance to the music in time. q very curious plan was adopted, which proved quite efficient. A large paper doll was rigged up on the piano, and the player, also deaf mute, who fur nished the music, which, of course. could not be heard by the members Of the club, used a pedal to make the paper figure move up and down in time with the piece played. A large sign alongside announced the character of the dance, and thus it became possible for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances as if they were not afflicted with their organic shortcomings. Besides that, they were spared the agony of those who could hear, for some wag had tam pered with the piano, which was fright fully out of tune, even the player never noticing that fact. The deaf mutes danced into the early morning hours and unanimously voted the entertain ment magnificent success.

Ladies Who Could Not Agree.
 Not long ago there were two ladies stopping at the same boarding house. They were single ladies, be it said, and both highly respectable. But for some reason, says the Minneapolis Times, known only to themselves, they couldn't get along" and matters went between them from bad to worse til! they quit speaking
 They both got tired, of course, living in. the same house with a mortal enemy, and finally both determined to moys. Arrangements were made, and, as luck would have it, both moved the sane day. Lady No. loaded up her house- hold goods in the morning, and in the afternoon a dray pulled up and car ried away the trunk. shawlstraps, and other effects of lady No. 3.
 Lady No. was just composing her self to view the surroundings of her new lodging place, when q wagon stopped at the front door and began t1 unload a collection of articles unmis- tak;bly feminine. She sized up the trunk and went downstairs, filled with a horrible suspicion, to interview the landlady.
 Her suspicious were true. They had moved into the same house.
 There is no more 10 the story. Of course, they should have made up their differences and lived in peace and char ity ever after. But they did not. Lady No. never got her trunk inside of tie house.

HIS LEG IS PULLED.
That Is How Southern Congressman

 Some people may think that con gressman saves pile of money out of his salary" said well-known southern congressman, who was talking to Washington Star reporter on the vicis- situdes of running for office, and es- pecially for congress, but a man has to be a small walking bank to accommo- date the large number of his friends and supporters who need little money for some urgent matter. In my state We have to make campaigns and appear before the people at meetings. Well, l have never attended meeting but that I did not have some kind of subscrip- tion polzed into my face. Somebody wants something for church and for missionary purposes or for helping some fellow who has been burned out.
 "You can't avoid subscribing, and have to head the list with the largest sum. Then about the time you think you are through with having your leg pulled some lazy fellow will walk up and say: How do, gineral? I had ter quit my work ter come out and hear you terday, and I thunk yer mout giv' me dollar While you have the greatest contempt for the man, you give him the dollar.
 When you leave the meeting you are out anywhere from s20 to $50. These are just a few instances of what 3 candi- date has to spend money for.
