Was an Oregon Pioneer.

The Los Angeles Herald gives the
following account of the death OF Hank
Brown, an old stage driver, who was
we'll known to many of the early set
tiers of this section.
Hank Brown, forty miner, and
one of the best known men of the
southwest, died yesterday at the Cali
fornia hospital of pneumonia. He had
lived nearly his entire days since he
came west on the desert or in mining
camps. His name was immortalized
py Mark Twain in ''ROughing 1t. :"
When some of his old friends In this
city heardof his death they said: "He
couldn't die on the desert, and coming
to town killed him." He was born in
Kane county, Ill, 6s years ago, and
came west when news of the gold dis
coYery in California reached Illinois.
He prospected with varying fortune
until 1863, when he began his career as
a stage driver in Oregon. He drove
from The Dalles over the portage to
Cello. He also drove stage from
Wallapulu to Walla Walla until 1856,
when he went to Salt Lake City and
engaged in the livery business. In the
fall of that year he drove for Ben Holli-
day. The next year he started stage
line from Corrine on the URion
Pacific to Helena, Mont. Afterward
he came to the Colorado desert and
established a line from San Bernardino
to Yuma, Ariz. Some years ago his
ranch houses, stock and all his vehicles
were destroyed by fire and his days on
the box came to an end.

Hon. j. L. Cowan, Indian agent a
Warm Springs, was in the city today
en- route to Portland. He said the loss
Of stock on the reservation the past
winter had been considerable. Owing
to the dry season last year the Indians
had not been able to put up much feed,
hence could not prevent their stock
from starving.
Salem has nice little bonded in
debtedness of Sl6l 900 hanging over
it, and is now asking the voters of the
city to authorize the issuance of $780,
900 more bonds to take up its floating
debt. The ability of Salem to get
into debt seem to have little or no
limit.
R. Parrish, of Hay creek, is in town
today. He says the loss of stock on
Hay creek has peen comparatively
light, considering the severity of the
winter, there having been but little
loss of any thing except horses,
though horse owners paid little at
tention to their stock, consequep tly
great many fine animals died.
After reading the boundaries of
Dalles City, as described in the new
city charter, one OF our citizens con-
cluned it left out all that portion east
of Union street, and some fear was ex-
pressed lest we should find ourselves
in the same predicament Pendleton is,
but careful study of the charter re.
veals the fact that the only changes in
the boundary are along the west line
where small strip Of worthless land
is left out of the corporate limits.
