a city lot which was also sold at

, The Mountaineer Office was pre-
sented with a large luscious water
melon by the genial proprietor of the
American Market, Mr.. Carnaby, this

about as busy as gang of printers

enough to partake of what they de-
clared was the best watermelon Oh

the donator of the same.

A man signing himself "John the
Novelist" is writing to different per-
sons in Albany from Lebanon in a
manner that shows that he is crazy,
says the Albany Democrat. Now he
wants to bet SIS to 81 that he can plant
the flag of liberty over Canada without
the use of bullet. He declares that
he has as much right to do something
as Dewey, and has already written the
president and Queen Victoria. In
conclusion he shouts that "heavea
and earth may pass away, but the
words of John the Novelist will stay"
Henry Hudson, who resides near
Dufur, was in the city last night. He !
informs US that mis- crop and that of
his neighbors in that section is not |
one third as large as it was last year. |
He threshed an average of l3 bushels |
to the acre in one field while other |
fields did not average over bushels. |
He states that this is about the aver
age yield for this season for Is miles |
south from the Columbia in Wasco
county. while further south the yield
is much greater going as high as 45
bushels of wheat TO the acre in some
fields which have been summer fall
lowed.
A freighter from Sherman county
created considerable excitement this
afternoon by driving up Second street
in a wagon in the rear of which were
two small boys vigorously ringing COW
bells while the freighter announced
that he would sell the team to the
highest bidder at o clock in front OF
Mays & Groves store. The city mar
shall informed him that he was too
noisy and when he insisted on making
a racket that could be heard at least
four blocks he was invited to appear
before the city recorder. That worthy
official let him off with an admonition
and they decided to compromise the
matter by ringing but one COW bell
and making his announcement in
tone of voice that would arouse no one
except those within block of where he
was located.
carload of machinery for the Ore
gon King mine near Antelope arrived
in the city last night and will be ship
ped to the mine in short time. The
Oregon King which is the property of
Charles M. Cartright, M. j. Qualey
and J. E. Evans. promises to be one of
the best in the state. Its owners
realize this fact and intend opening it
up and putting in the necessary ma
chinery regardless of what it may
cost. This is not the only rich mine
In Wasco county rs will be proven in
time and there is little doubt that the
time is not far distant when our
mining industries will reach
those of the far famed county of Baker.
The machinery to be used in the Ore
gon King has been purchased from the
Erie Iron Works in Erie, Pennsylvania
and we understand some new process
will be introduced.
One of our young hopefuls was ar
rested last night by Nightwatchman
Phirman for being drunk and disorder
ly and lodged in Jail. He appeared
before the city recorder this morning
and was fined SIS as punishment for
his rash act. He was broke and had
to be sent to Jail for two days to work
out the fine. There is entirely too
much dissipation indulged in by boys
between the ages of fourteen and
twenty and if the parties who furnish
them the liquor were sent over the
road, it might put damper on such
malpractice Last nights victim was
not over fifteen years old and as this is
the first time that he has been before
the recorder his name will not be made
public, but if it should occur again
either to this youngster or his young
associates no compassion will be taken
on them, while on the other hand the
matter will be given as much publicity
as is in the power of this paper.
