Mrs. c. E. Myers and son, of Oregon
d City, are visiting the families OF q. .
p Smith and A. M. Allen. Mr.. Myers
= was a member of Co. in the Philip
}, pine war, being in every engagement
S the Oregon regiment saw, and come
a through all the battles without
3 scratch.
Misses Annie and Bess Lang return
ed home last evening from Clond Capp
Inn. They report delightful trip as
the weather was favorable and with
such teamster as Mr. Olinger from
, Hood Hiver TO the Inn, and with an
! experienced guide to the summit 1t
would be hard for it TO be otherwise.
According to general agreement be-
tween the business men of this city
collection day, but this month the Sd
falls on Sunday, and as the 4th is
labor day, when the banks will be
closed, it would probably be well to
defer collections until Tuesday the 9TH.
Yesterday afternoon the two-year
old son of John Carroll, who resides
about four miles from Mosier, fell from
a pile of lumber and fractured his right
| forearm. A physician from The
Dalles was summoned, land reduced the
| fracture, and the little fellow is getting
along nicely. f
The building formerly occupied by
the First National Bank, is being re-
paired and put in shape as an office
for the Eastern Oregon Land Co.,
where they will move in a short time.
The vault formerly used by the bank
is still in the building so that it will
make one of the finest offices in the |
city for keeping money and valuables. |
Mrs. A. E. DeWolf left on the morn
ing train for Portland, en- route to
Louisville, kentucky, via Los Angles,
Cal. Ell Paso, Texas and New Orleans,
La. At which intermediate points
she will make visits. Mrs. DeWolfe's
many friends wish her a most pleasant
visit, and hope to have her with them
before many months. A small dinner
party was given at Mrs. E. L. De-
Wolfe's yesterday in honor of the de-
parture of Mrs. DeWolf.
Major J. S. Booth has left the
Golden Seal Roster at this Office for
the following named soldiers where
they can be secured Dy the parties
calling here: Geo. II. Dufur, Fred
Hilton, W. T. Dickey, W. E Luken-
beal, G.. N. Saunders. 1. A. Joedon,
Max J. Bartell, W. S. Norman, G. F.
Kennedy and B. F. Ulrich. The above
we're left by the boys in the train when
en- route from San Francisco to Port
land and as they are certainly highly
priced by them, this means of deliver
ing them to their rightful owners has
been adopted.
Mr.. G. G. Bowman was in the city
yesterday with band of bucks, which
were being shipped by Ben Allen of
Prineville, to party in Idaho. He
states that Mr.. Allen informed him
that from 1000 head of Ramboulet
wethers they sheared an average OF a
trif1e over 30 pounds of wool to the
sheep. This seems incredible but this
variety are splendid wool producers
and we have no reason to doubt the
truth of tie statement. He says one
full grown Lincolnshire wether
tapped the beam at 27S pounds, while
two two-year old Ramboulets averaged
172 pounds, and two yearlings averaged
155 pounds. He asserts emphatically
that this is no sheep story.
Hon. W. D. Smith, highly respected
citizen of Klickitat county, died at his !
fifth year of his age. He was native
of Kentucky, but in early life became
a resident of Scotland county, Mo.
He served the people of that county
as assessor and also as their
sheriff HE removed with his family, to
California after remaining there two
years lie moved to the Willamette t
valley and from there he came to 8
Klickitat county in 1879, and located t
on a farm two miles southeast o ,
where he has since resided. {
He represented Klickitat county one +
term as Representative in the Territorial t
7 10 1nov xui6ntr 1
and large family of sons and daugh-
ters and many friends to mourn his loss. G
Last night a deserter from the :
United STAGES Training Ship Adams I
was arrested by Nightwatchman Phir- f
man and lodged In the city jail. He /
had little to say further than that his c
name was Robert McCool and that he
had no intention of deserting, giving q
as reason that he did not think the q
ship would put to sea so soon. The 6
Adams, however, put to sea last night t
and the authorities are waiting for s
as to what to do with the a
young sailor. While they are awaiting I
instructions he is resting easy con. t
tenting himself with reading novel {
and seems to be very unconcerned. He
will probably be taken back to Port
land by the United States authorities
and imprisoned or fined for desertion.
M. 2. Donnell, the we'll known drug !
gist, accompanied by his wife returned
from trip through Wasco and Sher-
man counties by way of Dufur, Kings
ley. Tygh Valley, Sherars Bridge.
Wasco and Moro. He states that he
was more than surprised at the change
in Sherman county during the past
twelve years. At that time the entire
county from the John Day river to the
Deschutes was an open stock country
with an occasional farm or cattle ranch,
while now all this land is under fence
and benig cultivated. Since the Co
lumbia Southern was built to Moro
thousands of acres of sod has been
broken and will be producing grain
next year. Sherman county's days.as
stock county are numbered and in
future it will be known only as great
grain producing section.
