Activity on the columbia southern.

Tuesday morning, in company with
Mr.. VIM. Holder, we took trip down
to Biggs to witness the beginning of
work on the Columbia Southern Rail-
ways road bed. We found many men
and teams at work making the grade;
and from the activity shown we feel
safe to say that the road is assured. It
is a positive fact. And its promoters
deserve the undivided support of Sher-
man county. These men have had
much to contend with. They have
been assailed on all sides. Men who
should have been their friends have
fought the proposition to the bitter
end. But, for all of that, Mr.. Lytle
bobs up serenely, and with happy
smile for everybody. actually begins
work Just at the time his enemies
thought he was dead. He has shown
that sort of pluck and energy that
builds railroads. He will laugh at
those who have foiled him more than
once-and he who laughs last laughs
best. The company will endeavor to
complete the road by the middle of
August.-Wasco News.

Did is Rain Frogs:

The people of Moro are exercising
their Imagination to fathom a mystery
that has developed at that place, and
have about concluded there was a
shower of frogs in that vicinity last
Monday. Alf Diliinger, prominent
farmer of Monkland, was caught out
in the shower and was thoroughly
drenched when he reached Moore's
store. He proceeded to take off his
boots and empty the water out of them.
and while setting before the stove al
lowing his clothes to dry, two lively
little frogs hoped out of a hole in his
pants leg. Dillinger declared that the
frogs rained into his pants leg through
the hole they came out of, but some of
the Moro folks declare that it is GUS
tom of his to carry frogs around in his
pockets, as sort of "Loodo' to bring
him good luck, just like sporting men
carry rabbits feet.

Now Belongs to the County.

Yesterday County Judge Mays, Com
missioner Blowers and Clerk Kelsay
inspected the new steel bridge across
the river at Hood River, and found it
filling the requirements of the contract
in every respect. The bridge was
therefore accepted and is now the
property of the county. The bridge is
constructed wholly of steel except the
joists and floor, and rests on cement
piers, protected by steel casing, and is
very substantial structure, one that
should last for ages. The bridge is a
span of 130 feet, reached by long ap-
proaches on either side, and being
above the high water mark of 1894,
will not be affected by freshets or in
danger of being carried away. The
approaches on both sides will be COM
pleted in about ten days, when the
bridge will be open for use.

A SOCIALIST CRUSADE.
From One to Three Hundred Thousand
Socialists VIII Immigrate to WASH
inRtOn


ington.
A new and most interesting and
novel immigration movement towards
the state of Washington is promised
in the near future. 1t is not move
ment started by the circulars sent out
by the officers of the immigration as
sociation or even an invitation from
any one in the state, but is more in
the order of crusade similar to the
one entered upon by the Christians in
Europe during the dark ages, when
vast armies were organized ana
marched to Palestine to wrest the Holy
Land from the Saracens.
The crusade to Washington is vast
| peaceable Immigration. having for its
purpose the capturing of the state and
J revolutionizipg the government to
! make it conform to the socialistic ideas
of Edward Bellamy and other advanced
thinkers and as soo1 as possession can
| be gained of all the branches of the
state and local governments, changes
| will be made and experiments trieC
that are expected to demonstrate to
| the world that the whole modern
scheme of governments is failure and
that socialism is the best and most
perfect idea of government.
Just when this movement is to be
started has not been given out, but it
may be expected to be we'll on its way
before the close of the present sum-
mer. Eugene V. Debs, the man who
made such stir in the world as presi-
dent of the American Railway Union
during the great A. R. q. strike in
1894, is one of the leaders in the move
ment and is deYoting all his time and
energies to making it success. A
vast socialistic organization has been
formed with lodges all over the Upited
States. These lodges are busily en-
gagged in propagating the doctrines OF
socialism and raising money to carry
on the gigantic scheme. Regular dues
are charged the members and the
money is placed in a fund to defray
the expenses of the immigration move
ment. Already several thousand dol
lars have been raised with an Organi' |
zation approaching half million
members paying regular dues into the |
fund and it is growing rapidly.
Debs, in recent interview in Chi
cago, stated that the plan contemplated
the massing at that place of 100000
men from the ranks of the unemployed.
of that and other cities and sending
them to Washington by installments,
the movement to begin sometime with
in thirty days. The army is to be an
army of peace. The men are supposed
to come to the state as individuals,
settle wherever they can find the best
inducements to them as individuals
and enter various trades and indus
tries already established or establish
and conduct new ones. They are to
qualify as citizens, and as soon as it is
thought by the leaders advisable to do

ticket will be nominated, and if elected
will proceed to put into operation the
of the leaders.-Spokane

A doctor writing for some of the

made lasting friend of those who are
naturally little bashful about exert

ment: Nature takes the time when
one is lying down to give the heart
rest and that organ consequently makes
ten strokes less minute than when
one is in an upright posture. Multiply
that by sixty minutes and it is 800
strokes. Therefore in eight hours
spent in lying down the heart is saved
nearly 5000 strokes, and as the heart

The Objection Not Good.

There are people who have objec

ground of objection is that they dc
not want to read advertisements. Now
this objection is not good, for oft times
these advertisements convey valuable
information. For instance, how else
would the travelling public learn of the
excellent dining car service of the
Wisconsin Central Lines between St.
Paul and Chicago, or the general COM
fort of travelling over this popular line

A device for gathering prunes, ,plums,
peaches and similar fruits, known as
the Columbia Fruit Harvester,is being
introduced here, and appears to be a
great labor saving device. 1t consists
OF an apparatus the shape of an invert-
ed umbrella, mounted upon a frame
similar to that of a awheelbarrow. The
device is placed under the tree SO that
the fruit shaken off falls into the in.
verted umberlla and is conveyed to a
box without handling. By the use of
this apparatus, one man can easily
gather the fruit from an orchard of
ten acres, thus saving great expense
in gathering. 1t is money saver to
the orchardist, and is worthy the at
tention of fruit growers.

AS VIEWED BY WISE.
The San Francisco Wool Merchant Sums
up the Situation.

Harry Wise. of the well known firm
of Christy q Wise, wool merchants of
San Francisco, was in Pendleton the
other day, and to newspaper reporter
gave his opinion of the wool outlook as
follows:
1.-THE season in California being
somewhat earlier than in this section,
the current wool business for the 1897
spring clips is fairly we'll cleaned up.
Regarding the situation at the
present time, it may be said that prices
are considerably advanced over those
ruling for many weeks past, and though
not yet up to what was paid during the
first bulge which was experienced
early in the season, they are good and
demand is quite strong. 1t is my
opinion that prices will not advance
further this year. and that growers will
lot have any materially higher offers
than are now being made by the buy
ing concerns. The settlement of the
tariff question will make difference,
in the way of more favorable prices,
but the benefit will not be felt in full
before next year when the 1898 clip is
moved on the market.
'The reason is not difficult to find
and may be given in few words. The
foreign woods which have been i'm
ported and are now on hand in the
Eastern centers act as a depressing in
fuence and keep down home woods
from reaching the prices normally to
be expected from the influence of tariff
legislation favorable to the wool indus
try. You may look for next springs
market operations to show more fully
the effect of the ending of the tariff
bill debate and the passage of bill
giving higher rates on wools."
