Peculiar Accident.


A very serious accident befelI Otis
Helms. aged 81 year, son of A. Helm,
jr., OF Twickenham, on Thursday of last
week, at the James Morrow place, near
Fossil. He was one of the cowboys who
were driving a band of Gilman French
beef cattle to The Dalles, and about
O'Clock was going out in the pasture, in
company with Jos. Frizzell, TO night
herd the cattle, when his horse stepped
into badger hole with one Of his hind
feet and fell back ward, throwing Otis
to the ground. 1t was dark, but Mr..
Frizzell heard the horse fall, and jump
ing from his horse found young Helms
lying on the ground unconscious. He
carried Otis to Sam Thompson's house,
where he still lies unconscious, six days
after the accident. His parents and
brothers were sent for and arrived Fri
day, and have been with him ever
since.
There were no marks on his head or
body, but it is supposed that the young
man fell in such a manner as to produce
conclusion of the brain. Liquid nour-
ishment is forced down his throat, and
his pulse continues strong. DIR. Shaw
has been in almost constant attendance
since the accident.

reports business lax in that city and at
tributes it to the fact that so many Port

the different summer resorts. He
states that the weather in that city was
very warm and sultry even more so than
in Eastern Oregon.
August Grievette, ,an aged Frenchman,
was Monday found dead in his bed in
his lone cabin four miles north of Col
vile by William Hull, neighbor.
Grievett was over so years of age, and a
cook by trade, but had spent the last
half century in the mining camps of the
West. He went to CoIvilIe seven years
ago and lived hermit's life. Death re-
suited from Strychnine taken with sui
cidal intent, it is though.
The dentists who are in convention in
Portland at present, had an excursion
to Cascade Locks today on the steamer
Sarah Dixon, of the D. P. & 4. N. line.
Many from all over the Northwest have
taken advantage of this splendid oppor-
tunity to view the scenery that cannot
be equalled anywhere in the West, that
of the Columbia between Portland and
the Locks, and will also enjoy the
splendid accommodations offered by the
D. P. & A. N. line to their patrons.

An addition to the list of names of the
soldiers killed and wounded at Manila,
as furnished the war department by
General Merritt and published in The
Telegram Tuesday, was since issued by
the department. 1t contained the
names of three members of the Second

having been wounded. They were Ed

The wool market at present is ex.
ceptionally dull, the buyers being not
overly anxious to make any purchases
while the producers are satisfied to wait
in hopes that the price will ralse. The
present quotations are satisfactory, but
it is thought the producers may tire oi
holding for better offers and sell, which
may have tendency to lower the price.
The indications are, however, that the
price will raise, rather than drop, if the
producers are not in hurry to dispose
of their clip.
The frnit growers in different parts
of the state are making every effort tc
establish fruit canneries, SO that much
of the product that is at present going
to waste could be turned into cash, aud
thus thousands of dollars would go into
the pockets of the farmers for the fir nj
that is now rotting on the ground. There

though much fruit is shipped to Eastern
markets as well as disposed of at home,
still these demands are inadequate to
use the fruit of Eastern Oregon, and
nothing but large canning establish
ment will fill the bill. This will not
only be bznefit to the producers of
fruit, but also to some enterprising man
or men who will build such a plant.
Gus Smythe stayed in Fossil over
Monday night on his way home from a
sheep buying trip to the interior, says
the Journal. He bought over 5000 head
and started 5000 of them from Mitchell
to Heppner for shipment east. He
would have bought many more, but re-
ports that Grant and Crook counties are
overrun with buyers, who are offering as
high prices are are being paid in some
eastern states. johnson & Sons have
contracted their lambs at So. 80 per head.
This is, we believe, as high a price as
has ever been paid in Eastern Oregon.

ARBITRATING LABOR DISPUTES
Illinois Board Thinks the State Idea Is
Growing In Favor,

Springfield, Ills. March 5.-The state
board of arbitration. has submitted its
third annual report to the governor for
the year ending March /, 1895. 1t says:
THE work of this department during
the last year shows clearly that arbitra-
ton is growing in popular favor in this
state as means for the adjustment
of differences between employers and
their employees" The board failed to
settle the great coal strike of last year
because the scope of the strike was ma
tional, and this fact rendered all at
tempts at local arbitration or arbitra-
ton not having in contemplation the
settlement of the entire difficulty utter
ly unavailing.
The board recommends several amend
ments to the law, the most important
being one which will extend its juris-
diction to cases in which several en-
ployers have a common difference with
their employees, the employees numbering
In the aggregate more than twenty-five
persons. and another authorizing the
board to invoke the aid of a court of
record to compel the attendance Of wit
nesses or the production of books and
papers.
