The Body OF Harper Hansen Recovered
From the Columbia.

THE RIVER GIVES UP ITS DEAD.
The Body OF Harper Hansen Recovered
From the Columbia.
Yesterday morning the body of a
dead man floating in the river at the
boat landing at Hood River was rescued
by parties who notified coroner Butts.
Mr.. Butts went to Hood River on the
afternoon train, and held an inquest
over the remains, the verdict of the
jury being as follows:
"HooD RIVER. April 25, 1899.
1--WE, the jury empaneled by the cor
oner of Wasco county, Oregon. ind
from the evidence before US that the
body now before US is that of Harper
Hansen, who was drowned on August
IA, 1S9s." ri
The body was identified by J. E.
Jacobsen, stepfather of the deceased,
as that of Harper Hansen, by the
clothing and purse that was found
in one of the pants pockets.
Mr.. Hansen was drowned on Au-
gust l4th of last year while crossing
the Columbia in small boat in COM
pany with Mr.. Jacobsen and another
man. When they were nearing White
Salmon they were run into by the
steamer Sarah Dixon, and their boat
was cnS in two. 1t is thought Mr..
Hansen was caught in some of the
wreckage and carried to the bottom,
and that his body was brought to the
surface by the recent rise of the river.
The body was very badly decompos-d,
being only the skeleton held together
by the clothing. The remains were
taken to White Salmon for interment.

MIR. sutt,, Condition.

The many friends of Mr.. Butts will
be pleased to learn that the injuries he
Sustained yesterday were not so serious
as at first they we're thought to be.
He soon regained consciousness after
being taken to his home, and his
physician found his wounds to be a
slight abrasion of the scalp, cut on the
nose and fracture of the collar bone.
AS soon as the bone knits, Mr.. Butts
will be able to be out. The team that
ran over him was from the Wilson
stable, and had escaped from the hos
tier while being hitched to rig.
Since o'clock today Mr.. Butts
condition has somewhat changed from
what it was this morning, when the
above was written. He is suffering
considerably from the effects of the
shock he received.

WANT SOME rRosprR1rY.
Portland Laborers Believe There should
be q Dividing of Profits.


be q Dividing of Profits. fa
More prosperous times have served
to arouse the workingmen of the city,
says Portland paper. The labor air
is pregnant with uneasiness, and there
are dim chances of general strike.
Not only the mill emplopes demand
better pay, but the carpenters union
has asked for an advance, and the
paper-hangers' union has ''ratted" one
shop which refused to recognize the
union.
All these unions have lately been or
ganized. The old scale of wages for
paper hangers was 25 cents per hour,
or 1925 for nine hours work. The
union, as soon as organized, demanded
that 50 so be declared the minimum
wages for days work of nine hours.
Knowing that the cost of living had
advanced, the master paper-hangers
and painters readily agreed to the ad-
vance, with the exception of one,
against whom the union has now de-
clared war.
Carpenters also demand more pay.
owing to the increased cost of living.
They now average 50 and $3.50 day,
which they claim is lower wages than
is paid carpenters in other cities.
They have served notice on the con.
tractors that after May l journaymen
carpenters will demand So per day for a
full days work.
Contractors claim that their con-
tracts were on the basis of the present
wages, and that they cannot afford to
pay an increase. Workmen say that
they are giving the contractors long
notice just for this reason, and in Or
der that they may figure higher on
future contracts.
The agitation Is general in the labor
held, and some lively times may be ex.
pected. 1t was notuntil this year that
any union could be formed with the
expectation of doing any good, owing
TO the excessively dull times. But the
prosperous times have created de-
mand for labor, and the workingmen
believe it is time they also should
reap some of the benefits.

Rather Late Winter.

E. Hodges, city attorney Of the town
of Prineville, arrived here this morn
ing, and reported rather severe
weather in the country to the south.
Last Tuesday morning the streets Of
Prineville were covered with eight in.
ches of snow, and in the surrounding
country the snow was from eight to
twelve inches. That morning the
mercury registered 20 degrees above
zero, and a decided wintery feeling
prevailed throughout the country.
Mr.. Hodges says the cold spell
killed all the fruit in Crook county
and ruined vegetable gardens, though
he does not think the grain crop was
materially damaged. He says the loss
of stock in the country last winter was
not more than five per cent, but the
recent storm killed great many
young lambs and some calves and
colts.

THE GOBLIN MOTH.
Now Is the Proper Time to Exterminate
This Enemy of the apple.

Now Is the Proper Time to Exterminate
This Enemy of the apple.
This is the season Of the year when
the Goblin moth begins issuing from
the cocoons in which they have been
encased during the winter and begin
laying eggs that produce the little
worm which is so destructive to the
apples. It is therefore the proper
time for orchardists to begin waging
war on the pests. Mr.. Schanno, a
member of the state horticultural
board, has given the question of deal
ing with these pests considerable at
rtention, land has found that the prope
time to begin dealing with them is
when they make their first appearance
in the spring. The moth makes its
appearance with the first warm days of
spring, and as soon as it comes out Of
the cocoon begins laying eggs, and as
they brood three times during the
season, the killing of one moth means
the destruction of no less than 800
pests. The moth has rather peculiar
habits, which If studied by the fruit
grower will aid him materially in de-
stroying them. The eggs are Deposit
ed in cracks of buildings. bark of trees
and in fruit boxes, where they incu.
bate and come forth, full grown moths.
These, within few days after they
are Matched, fly forth and deposit eggs
In fruit blossoms that produce the lar
vac which iujures the fruit. Mr..
Schanno suggests that orchardists be-
gin now wagiug war on the pests, by
burning all rubbish that has accumu-
lated about orchards, such as proon-
ings and old boxes, and that fruit
houses be closed during the night, all
openings to them being covered with
wire netting that will. beep the moth
from coming out, and that the moth
found in the houses be killed each
morning.
AS the moth propagate in fruit boxes
it would be well to either destroy all
boxes that haYe been used. or shut
them in close rooms and fumigate
them. There is preparation known
as Johnson's Sulphuric Fumigator,
that is believed TO be death to all in
sects, and if used freely in fruit houses
would probably prove effectual in de-
stroying the Goblin moth It is sold
by druggists, and might prove bene-
fetal if fruit gro Sers would adopt it's
use. At all events, If fruit raisers
would free their orchards of moth, now
is the time for them to begin the war
against them, for one killed now is
equivalent to 200 or 300 killed later in
the season.

The Portland Red Men haye de-
termined to give an excursion to The
Dalles some time next June, and E.
Donielworcy and G. M. Orton, repre-
senting the order. were here today
arranging with Dalles business men
for funds to assist in defraying ex
penses of the excursion. Business
men here contributed quite literally,
and the excursion is now assured. 1t

Parties who reside in Pendleton
have recently travelled over the
wheat growing sections of
Umatilla county with view to ascer-
tanning the condition of crops and in

Fall wheat will not make more than
half a crop, though spring grain looks
we'll, but is backward, so it
is estimated the yield in Umatilla
county will not be much more than so
per cent of what it was last year.

SOUTHERN LYNCHING.
The Atlanta Constitution Justifies Last
Sundays Crime.

Sundays Crime.
The horrible murder of the negro
Hose by en- enraged Georgia mob
last Sunday, cannot but call forth CEN
sure but the severest criticism will
never stop such outbreaks of violence,
law can hardly reach, and so long as
the colored population of the Southern
states persist in such diabolical deeds,
just so long will lynch law be resorted
TO. Hose courted the fate he met, and
while the act of the lynchers aud the
brutality they evinced cannot be justi-
fed, there is, perhaps, some excuse for
dealing out summary justice to brutes
like him. The Atlanta Constitution,
the day after the lynching, said con-
corning the deplOrable event:
"The terrible expiation which Sam
Hose was forced to pay for his crime
will arouse flood of discussion, car
ried on by those who knoH the facts On
one side and those who do not care
for the facts on the other. But while
the form of this criminals punish
ment cannot be upheld, let those who
are inclined to criticise it look into the
facts and by these facts temper the
judgment they may render. An unss-
suming, Industrious and hard working
farmer, after his days toll, sat at his
al l>s ff1
and children, happy in the presence
of the man who was fulfilling to them
every duty imposed by nature. AT
peace with the world, serving God and
loyal humanity, they looked forward
to the coming day. Noiselessly the |
murderer, with uplifted knife, ad-
vanced and sank it TO the hilt into the |
brain of the unsuspecting father. |
Tearing the child from the mother, he |
threw it into pool of blood oozlng |
from its fathers wound. Then came
the elimination which has dethroned
the reason of the people of Western
Georgia during the past week. AS |
critics will howl about the lynching,
the Constitution will be pardoned for
stating the plain facts. The wife was
seized, choked, thrown on the floor,
where her clothing lay in the blood of
her husband, and ravished. Remem-
Der the facts. Remember the dark
mig hit in the country. Remember the
slain husband, and, above all, remem.
Der that shocking degradation which
was inflicted by the black beast, his
victim swimming in her husbands
warm blood as the brute held her to
The floor. Keep the facts in mind.
When the picture is painted OF the
ravisher in flames, GO, back and re-
view that darker picture of Mrs. CraI-
lord, outraged in the blood of her
husband"

A heartrending accident happened
at Is minutes to II o'clock on Sunday
forenoon in the o. r. &. N. yard of
this city, by which Jessie NJ. Rothrock
was run over by an engine and died
soon after from his injuries. The
accident happened about 100 yards
east of the passenger depot and it sent
a thrill of horror through nearly 100
people who witnessed it.
The westbound train was late and a
large crowd had congregated at the
depot. Mr.. Rothrock was going along
the main track, and in endeavoring to
get out of the way of the passenger
train, which he was watching, stepped
backward onto the sidetrack, stumbl.

and before the victim could recover
his footing the engine passed over him,
crushing the bones and muscles of both
legs and nearly severing them, one be- |
low and the other above the knee.
Mr.. Rothreck was hurriedly con.
veyed to the county hospital, where |
DR.. C. J. Smith, assisted by Drs. Cole,

him. The attending surgeons realized
that nothing could be done to save the
mans life. SO they devoted their
energies to making his closing hours
