The Horse Got Even.

The bicycle has within the past few
years come into such general use that
it has threatened to drive the noblest
of all animals, the horse, either to the
cannery or the butchers shambles,
hence it is the horse has little affec-
tion for the nineteenth-century ma
chine. He views it with distrust when
ever he meets it in the road, and looks
upon it as something to be despised.
He shuns it as he would viper, re-
fusing to have anything in common
with the measly thing. County Clerk
Kelsay has noble, high-minded horse
--rAe- hus UccasTUns treated The
bicycle with perfect contempt, even
refusing to look at one when he would
meet it in the road, and his dignity
was soreiy taxed the other evening
when Master Claud brought bran
new scorcher into the barn and stabbed
it under the same roof with TIE spirited
equine. The horse bore the insult
bravely for while, only giving the
intruding visitor an occasional dis
dainful glance; but after he was left
alone to his meditations he began to
get mad, and determined to even up on
the object of his downfall. The halter
was easily broken, and he began at
once his work of destruction. He
kicked the bicycle all over the stable,
and when he had appeased his wrath,
the bike looked like it had gone
through St. Louis cyclone. The
horse got even, but Master Claud never

A Big Lot of Gold.

Joseph Palmer is down from the
Basin mines and he brought down with
him about twenty pounds of gold, of
the value of 81, 400. This is the product
of twenty days run, and is in every
respect highly satisfactory and suit
able reward for the faith and capital
which Mr.. Palmer and his La Grande
associates have put into this property.
Altogether the product of the Basin
mines has been nearly SS, 900, and there
is now every assurance that it will be
a wealth producer. Under the present
working capacity the Basin mine pro-
duces about 1920 per day. just at the
present time work is interferred with
on account of water, and it is neces-
sary to work above the water level.
Last fall the, difficulty was just the
reverse, and it was difficult to supply
sufficient water for the mill. But the
main fact is that the gold-bearing ore
is there, and the promoters are now in
a fair way of overcoming all difficult

| 81. Nj. Drew, q travelling salesman
| Mayo & Co. of Boston, was in the city
recently taking an order from A. NJ.
| Williams & Co., when he suggested to
| Manager Williams that they step out
and get cigar. Acting on the i'm
| pulse they walked over to Geo. Ruch' S
grocery and called for his best cigar.
Mr.. Ruch at once set out box of the
Regulator brand, made in this city by
o. A. Peterson. The cigars were
lighted, and they were returning to Mr.
Williams store when the drummer re-
marked that is the best cigar l have
smoked for long time, l will have to
lay in a supply of them" He at once
returned to Mr.. Ruch's and bought
box for his own use, and was surprised
on being informed that they were
made here in town. Many of our
people seem to think that because
cigar is made at home it cannot be of
as good quality as if it were shipped in
from abroad. The Inconsistency of
this notion becomes apparent
when they stop to consider that
it is just as easy to ship in fine
leaf tobacco as it is to ship in fine
cigars-and considerably cheaper. for
the freight is less. This Boston travel
ing man, who has chance to sample
all kinds of cigars, and who had no
foolish prejudice to bias his decision,
at once pronounced the Regulator to be
an exceptionally fine cigar.

An Object of Real Charity.

There is encamped on the beach ir
the eastern part of town widow anc
five small children, who are deserving
objects of charity. Some time since
they left Yakima with wagon and team
supposing they had sufficient means
and provisions to make their way to
Corvallis, where the lady has friends,
but misfortunes overlook them on
their journey, and they reached The
Dalles in destitute circumstances,
without provisions or money with
which to procure them. A kind
hearted gentleman learned of their
misfortunes and rendered them suck
assistance as he could afford, but the
charitable people of the city could we'll
afford to extend to them little aid,
helping them along to the end of their

A Pioneer Gone.

One by one the pioneers of the north
west fall before the sickle of time, and
their ranks are being thinned out
almost daily until there are few indeed
left to relate the events of hardship
and privation incident to life on this
coast during the early settlement.
The last to be stricken from the roster
is Mrs. F. x. Paquet, who died at the
home of her son, o. L. Paquet, at
Oak Grove, Wasco county, last Satur-
day, aged e6 years.
Mrs. Paquet was native of France.
and was member of one of the lead

AN EASTERN OREGON FLOOD.
Canyon City in the Midst of a Raging
Torrent.

For considerable more than forty
days and forty nights rain has inces-
sanity fallen, with scarcely two days
between showers, in this favored land,
and while it was raining in the valley
the snow was deepening in the high
attitudes where the grand old mon
archs of eternal ages rise up to kiss
! the sky.
"Oldest Inhabitants" predicted
floods and dire calamities when
! the blazing summer sun should warm
the frogs to life up about the snow
line. The sun did its duty at last. and

creek was nearly equal to a river in
volume.
Then last Friday afternoon when
dark looking clouds began to gather
in the northeast and wend their aerial
flight towards the south we all got
scared. Not so with the rain clouds.
They pushed on towards the summit of
the mountain range south of the valley
and there met a current of air from the
south which held them up. The hold
up was fatal, for the clouds travelled
along the summit at the head of
Canyon creek and the frequent crashes
of thnnder told in unmistaka BILE words
that the forces of nature were having
warfare and that we poor mortals
would be the sufferers. For more than
two hours the storm ragged on the
mountain before it spent it's fury, and
about dark the rapid rise, floating deb
ris and extremely muddy condition of
Canyon creek announced the begin
ming. Before ten o'clock the already
large volume of water had been in
creased to twice the amount and it
was spilling over the levees and enter

and heavy timbers, and about clock

that the treacherous stream would

everything before it.
