two and three baggers and discomfit-
ing our particular enemies by sensa-
tional running catches and one hand

However, it seems possible that
there may be two-team league in the
State, and we may get to see one Of
these games occasionally. The real
lover of baseball will find a game
somewhere, and If he can't do that
will absorb every detail Of the big
games in the city, until he can talk Of
the men and the plays as though he
never missed game.

Our services Sunday April 5th were
very poorly attended, due to so many
attending the conference in Salt Lake
City.
At 2:30 Sunday the funeral services
in behalf of Sister Par Olsen we're
held. She was native Of Sweden
where she accepted the gospel, and
then came to Zion, making great
sacrifices for her religion.
A farewell party will be given for
Orson Larsen Thursday night, as he
expects to leave for mission to the
States April 18th. His brother Alma
will have wedding reception We'd
nesday evening.
Mr.. Charles Taylor of Fairview
Idaho, has moved to his new home in
Millville. His wife is visiting with
her mother, Anna l.. Jeppson.
1t has been predicted by some that
Millville will be visited by famine
for laborers this spring. The ground
was so hard last fall that very few
farmers got any blowing done, and
now it is feared that our planting
season will be too short for the farmers
to get their crops in. A number Of
our young men have dry farms else
where, so there will be plenty of work
for everybody.
On April 10 the people of Millville
will vote on seven mills school-tax,
the former meeting not being in ac-
cord with the ruling of the new coun-
ty Attorney.

The board of county commissioners
was i'm session today to consider the
advisability. of uniting Mountain
Home and Coveville school districts
There were a large number of wit
nesses before the court, giving their
views for and against the proposition.
The case was not closed as we go to
press.
Miss Ida, Due one Of the members
of the Thatcher Stock Co., gained
favor in all the large intermOuntain
and coast cities where she Is known
as one of the bright western actresses.
Her versatility Is quite remarkable
for a girl of her years. She has never
failed to make a favorable impression
wherever she has appeared. She Is
the pOssessor of splendid soprano
voice highly cultivated and 1t Is said
she dances just as well as she sings.
We expect a very sympathetic rendi-
ton of the touching part Of Vera In
"Moths" and predict large success
for her before our Logan public.

Criminal BrIc.a-Brac m Paris.

Relics of great crimes In Paris are not
placed In government museum, nor
are they retained within the archives Of
the prefecture de police; they are ex-
hibited for few days and are then
knocked down to the highest bidder.
Many Parlslans, and foreigners, too, re-
siding In Paris, have large collections
of this bric-a-brac de crime. The gov
ernment shop in the rue de Ecoles,
where the gruesome objects are ex-
posed for sale occasionally, has a curl
GUS lot or two to offer any would-be
purchaser. Up to the present, how
ever pieces of human anatomy have
not figured in the catalogue, but there
was recently offered for sale a gentle
mans ear in an excellent state Of pres
ervation, as the auctioneer remarked,
owing to Its having been kept In spirits
of wine. The ear belonged to one
named NJ. Deloyer, and was bitten on
by an adversary In the course of q
street row. Deloyer recovered from the
effects of the injury. The article was
finally knocked down for 8 francs. A
heavily mufied man In the audience
was supposed to have been the original
possessor of the ear. He. continually
managed to raise the bid at doubtful
moment, but he was not able to buy in
the article, which finally went to NJ.

Rose looked to see her father at the

ing that she should find him within, she
fastened forward, and had almost reach

man struck her unpleasantly. She hesi-
tated-paused.
"If he is Within" she said, "why does
he not come to meet me when he hears

"You must come in, Rose, before YOU

"But win not come in till have

Will you ask him to do so? Father!p she
called.
There was utter silence.
II do not believe he is here. You are
deceiving me, Gasparde" she cried. A
horrible fear-va suspicion Of treachery,
filed her mind; she trembled and turned
deadly pale.
Gasparde smiled. 1t was the smile Of

SURVEY IN HARVEY VALLEY.
whistIer's Party Investigating Proposed
Reservoir sites.

Harney-The field party Of the geo
logical survey in Oregon, under the d.
rection Of John T. Whistler, district
engineer, consisting Of M. d. Williams
and Frederick G. Huber, is continuing
the development Of topography OF irri-
gable lands in Harney valley. Some
thing over one-half Of the valley north
Of MalheuF Lake has nov been covered
1t is estimated that the work can be-
completed by December /.
Another field party, consisting Of
Herbert d. Newell and Esnund /.
Davis, is investigating an additional
reservoir site on lower Bully creek and
one on upper Willow creek. The Will
low creek reservoir site is being studied
with view of ascertaining the possi-
bility OF covering certain lands on the
west side Of upper Willow creek valley.
The work on the Umatilla project
has been in charge Of Thomas B. White
and party Of four assistants. After .
full examination Of the reservoir site,
the canal line to Umatilla river will
be taken up, topographic work being
at the same time.
A representative body of citizens Of
Union county, has presented to the
chief engineer Of the United States geo.
logical survey statement of the ex-
isting conditions in that county, accom-
panied with request that investiga-
tions and surveys be made Of certain
reservoir sites and Of the possibilities
Of developing an underground water
supply by means Of artesian wells.
The petition asserts that Union coun-
ty contains more than 100, 900 acres Of
fertile irrigable land, and that the pres
ent water supply druing the two
months of low water suffices to irriagts
only about 1000 acres.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
PRUNEs IN pOoR DEMAND.
Association Holds Price Up to Two and
0ne-haIf Dents.

Salem - Dizziness and uncertainty
prevail in the prune market. The
greater portion Of the crop in this vi
cinity has been harvested and by the
middle Of the week all the growers in
the hill country south of Salem will
have their prunes cured. The yield
has been large and The quality is first
class. The prunes are rich in sugar,
Of excellent favor and of unusually
good texture. The dried fruit this
year shows no "bloaters" such as are
found some years. The crop having
turned out better than was expected,
the growers have nothing now to
trouble them but selling the crop.
1t is estimated that the Oregon crop,
including that Of Clark county, WASH
ington, will amount to about 1000
carloads. OF this quantity probably q
little more than one-third has been
sold at prices ranging from to ~
cents for the 40 to so to the pound size.
The sales at the higher price were
made early and recently cents for 4Os,
or 21-cent basis, has prevailed. Low
er prices have been made by a number
of dealers. A little less than one
third of the entire crop will pass
through the hands Of the Willmette
Valley Prune association, the Umpqua
Valley association and the Clark Coun-
ty association and individual dealers
who are at present holding for a 2K-
cent basis price. 1t is estimated that
more than a third of the crop is un-
sold and in the hands of the growers
who are not identified with associations
and who are looking for chance to sell
at the best price they can get.

FIND OF PnoNoLITH.
Large Body Of RingstOne Located South
Of Baker City.

Baker City-A large body of phono-
lite, said to be as rich in gold as that
found in Cripple Creek, Colo, has been
discovered on East Camp creek, 55
miles south of this city. The discovery
was made some time ago by J. H. Gra-
ham and j. w. Miller, but they were
not certain that itiwas phonolite until
they sent samples to Denver and to
Washington and had assays made by
the local assayers. They have received
reports from all sources confirming the
fact that it is phonolite. Samples of
the ore range in value from 81 to 5000
per ton. Phonolite, or ringstone, as it
is called, is said to exist only in sec
tions where there are very rich gold
lodges.
The discovery has caused a great deal
of excitement here and number of
prominent citizens and mining pros
pectors will leave for the new gold field
at once. One specimen of float rock
was picked up on the ground near the
original discovery last week which
only weighed few pounds, yet it
yielded the owner $S5 in free gold.

LED0ES BLAZE WITH GOLD.
Remarkable Richness Of the New Find
on Owl Greek.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 24.-Almost fab
ulous finds of gold ore rivaling the
Klondike discoveries have been made
on Owl creek, near Hamilton, Mont,
according to reports received in Butte.
The greatest excitement prevails, and a
stampede is on to the new fields. Miles
Romney, mayor of Hamilton, and one
of the well known editors OF the state,
has returned after spending several
weeks at the scene of the discovery, ,!.and
his account of gold finds sounds like a
fairy tale.
Ten massive ledges exposed on the
mountain side fairly blaze in many
spots from the CLINT of shining gold
particles, dazzling the eye. A towering
cliff overhangs the leads and a large
gulch below is choked with boulders of
ore sloughed from the heights. These
chunks of gold laden rock, Romney
declares, range from the size ola hazel
nut to masses as large as dwelling
houses. Enough gold ore is in sight,
he says, to run a thousand stamps :
hundred years.
w, D. Gross, a Denver mining ex-
pert, made the first discovery of de-
poists on Owl creek on. August 1.
Conservative estimates of the value Of
the ore place the figures between S14
and 5000 ton, this calculation includ-
ing thousands of tons of ore lying on
the surface. Sections of the veins will
run into the thousands of dollars
worth of gold. Within the past few
days over hundred claims have been
staked out. Associated with Gross is
Senator George Green, of New York,
who with others represents a capital of
$50, 900, 900.
They are now engaged in incorporat-
ing company, and have 20 men at
work on the property.
