today. not simply walking but making
a regular run on the bank. This morn

has been rising about an inch an hour
all day. At Lewiston the Snake has
risen 80 in the past twenty four hours;
at Wenatchee feet; at Northport / z;
at Umatllla 2. The weather prediction
is colder; but if old Sol makes himself
too familiar, we'll all be wading.
Saturday Willis Hendricks, who has
seen in Portland for some time and
whose property his employe. Frank
Collins, was go rapidly dispesing of, re-
turned to his home near Dufur. Since
his return he has discovered that much
more OF his property is missing, and has
sent word to officers here that among
other things he is minus 200 bushels of
wheat and good COW. Collins was
bound over Saturday in the sum of $3.50,

Ttwould seem that the Shut family
nave decided to partially shut down on
newspaper work, regardless of the loss
which the newspaper field sustains by
this decision. S. P. Shut, who for
some time has been publishing the
Sumpter News has disposed of that
paper to Edward Young. who will con-

name of Blue Mountain American. We
trust with the change of name will no
follow change in nature, for we hav'
watched with anticipation the coming o
the News, which always contains some
thing of interest. The lone Herald
edited by E. Nj. Shut, has also beel
sold to George S. Parker. E. NJ.
however, will not leave the newspape
field altogether, but, as far as we hav
learned, will continne as the racysswrite
on the Heppner Times.

give the advocates OF woman's rights
strong argument on which to base thei
assertIon that woman positively has n
rights when even her Easter bonne
must be discarded Might as well pu
I a quietus on Easter altogether, and
away with church services.
