A telephone message from st Vim
cents Hospital last evening stated
that Edward Jenkins, of this city. who
was operated on Thursday morning
for appendicitis was much better than
on the previous day and was in fair
way toward speedy recovery.
M. T. Nolan is making some decided
changes in his place of business in this
city. New shelving is being put in
in his grocery store so that there will
be sufficient room for his book store
and grocery IN the same building,
which will make it much more con-
venient than it is at present and enable
him to get along with less help.
OuC C0T lOdQ vi oaOOP ohtPPCo
to the Union Stockyards in Portland
: last evening by D. P. Ketchum. of this
city. Very few shipments have been
made from the stock yards this week.
II is expected, however, that they will
be kept busy next week as several
large shipments of cattle and sheep to
eastern points are spoken of.
Several members of the Salvation
Army from this city left on the boat
this morning for Portland, where they
will attend a series OF meetings held
by Commander Booth Tucker, who,
has charge of the welfare of the Sal
walton Army in the United States.
Commander Booth Tucker has Won
derful ability as an evangelist and will
certainly draw enormous crowds to
hear him in Portland as he does in
every city in which he speaks.
An alias warrant has been ordered
by the county court on the '97 tax roll
and placed in the hands of the sheriff
for collection. In the matter of the
country road petition for Davis Divers,
of Hood river, the petition was granted
and the road established The same
action was taken by the court in
similar matters from A A. Bonney,
of Tygh Valley and r. E. Robertson
and Others upon the petitioners-pay-
ing the damages.
One of the finest specimens of timo-
thy hay that we have ever seen was
brought in by ]. W. Hartman this
morning from the old Jack McHaley
ranch on Eight-mile, which place Mr..
Hartman at present owns. 1t is five
feet six and one-half inches high and
will produce at least 8 tons to the
acre which is a splendid veild, and
convince any one that what Mr.
Hartman shows US is only fair
sample of the entire crop.
We were informed yesterday by
Earnest Langreen, of Endersby, tnar
he has several times been the victim
of some sneak thief. Several months
ago some one entered his house and
took Winchester rifle. From what
certain parties said to him he thought
it might have been done as joke and
that the same might be returned, and
took no action 10 the matter. Later
someone stole set of harness and now
Mr.. Langreen is convinced that there
is something else than joke and offers
$1,000 reward for the capture and COZ
viction of the miscreant.
Yesterday, for the first time, Seufert
Bros, the enterprising cannerymen,
launched into the fruit canning busi-
ness by putting up quite quantity of
cherries. We are unable to say
whether they intend operating fruit
cannery, on large scale, but think it
more than likely that they will do so
in the near future. They have large
orchards of their own and much of the
product of the same goes to waste
which might be canned and hand
some profit made ON it while at the
same time this would afford a market
for the numerous other fruit raisers in
this section.
Justice A. j. Brigham of Dufur
made the Mountaineer Office pleasant
call today. Among other things Mr..
Brigham informs US that the Dufur :
public schools promise this year to
reach il 'nos surpass the high standard
of excellence for which it was noted in
former years. Prof Allard of Hood
River will act in the capacity ofprin-
cipal and will have two of the best ,
teachers who can be found for his as.
Mr.. Brigham at present
holds the position of Editor OF the
Dufur Dispatch, as Mr.. Anderson has
been called to Wamic on account of the
serious Illness of relative at that
place.
From the indications at present it
looks very much as if the extensive
plans make to receive the Oregon
volunteers at Portland would have to .
be changed as the war department
peaks ofsending the troops from San
Francisco by rail, in order that the
may Immediately be loaded .
With regulars and return to Manila.
An effort will probably be made TO I
ecure other ships to bring the boys
