A Glowing outlook.

Never before in the history of Ore
gon has there been such prosperity
throughout the entire state. Large
crops of wheat, wool, hops and fruit
have made the farmers independent.
Sheep and cattle are being shipped from
all sections of the state to the Missouri
river and Chicago. Wheat Is bring
ing fair price, wool can be sold
at good figures and sheep and cattle
are making splendid returns: Fruit
growers for the most part did
well, while hors were excellent
and are bringing good prices. The
prospects for next year are equally as
bright, with the assurance offs large
immigration ct the best class Of far
mers aud business men. Oregon, the
garden spot of the country, will soon
take her place on the top rounds Of the
ladder of national prospertty.--As-

An A Anatomical Freak,

OAFLHND, Cal, Sept. 26.-The re
mains of Cleophas Gregoire, who com
mitted suicide on Friday night, will be
shipped today to Quebec, Ont, for
interment.
The abnormal conditions disclosed
by the post-mortem examination; oi
Gregoire are almost without parallel
in medical history. There was COM
plete reversal of the normal positions
of the heart, lungs and liver, and the
stomach had been crowded out of its
natural place. One of the chief
arteries, known in anatomy as the in.
nominate, did not exist in the strangely
constituted man. yet the evidence oi
his perfect health was manifesb in his
sound lSody. The marvellous displace-
ment had not even affected the organs
themselves, all being of normal de.
velopement and healthy.
