he was not a candidate and Mr.. Law
ender received the appointment. Since
the change Mr.. Baker has been active
He filed formal application, request
ing that it be considered if not too late,
and called attention to the fact that he
is an old soldier. AS mis- management
of the office has been satisfactory to
hte department, and the general policy
Of the administration is to retain the
incumbent in cases where postoffices
are advanced to the third class. his
application was favorably considered.
He has forwarded bonds in the sum of
$4,000.

WINTER FOR SURE
THE EAST IN THE GRIP OF A
DESTRUCTIVE BLIZZARD
Eastern Oregon Has a Touch Of the
Cold Wave Several Inches of
Snow Here.

The fiercest windstorm in many
years prevailed on the Great Lakes
Tuesday night and Wednesday, caus
ing much damage to shipping and
other property. Lake Michigan was
a mass of foam and water driven high
on the beach and against the clay
banks south and north OF. Milwaukee.
The wind reached a velocity of 56
miles an hour on Lake Michigan. but
on Superior the storm approached a
hurricane, reaching over 60 miles an
hour. The government lighthouse
and signal station at the end Of Mil
waukee breakwater was battered by
the high seas. The entire east wall of
the signal station was smashed in by
the waves.
Three big steamers, the Mataafa,
the r. w. England and the Crescent
City, were driven ashore during a
terrific gale in sight of the lighthouse
at the Duluth entrance of the harbor
and some 27 men on the Mataafa are
believed to be lost.
Eastern Oregon and Eastern Wash
ington is experiencing touch of the
cold wave, and snow is universally
reported. Here at Athena sleighine
is fairly good.
Wednesday all trains on the Spokane
branch of the O. R. & N. were more
or less delayed on account of the
storm. Some of the deepest drift!
encountered were in the vicinity o1
Athena and Adams.

Wilson. while riding with the wife
of G. W. George today was overtakep
by Mr.. George. who at the point of u
revolver forced Wilson out, made
him take off his overcoat and hold
up bis hands, while he proceeded to

NEW RASPBERRY PEST.
White Tree Cricket, Imported From the
East, Eats Vine.

White Treo Cricket, Imported From the
East, Eats Vine.
Oregon has a new fruit pest, which
was discovered Tuesday. The name
of the bug is the white tree cricket,
and its special object seems to be to
destroy raspberry bushes. What the
pest cannot eat it destroys, and unless
the insect is destroyed the whole state
is threatened to have its berry bushes
killed. The bug is common in the
East, but this is the first time it is
known to have come west of the
mountains, and it is believed that it
was introduced by the importation of
some raspberry bushes from east of the
Rockies. The bugs work in peculiar
way. They bore or sting into the
bark of the bush and deposit their
eggs. These eggs when they hatch
start to eat into the heart of the bush
and kill it in that way. In some cases
the whole inside of the stems on the
bush are hollow. Those found are
near Portland.

WILL SUE OREGON
SISTER STATE OF WASHINGTON
WILL BRING SUIT.
1t Will Be a Civil Action to Legally
Establish Title to Sand
Island.

The suit soon to be filed by Wash
ington against Oergon to determine
the boundry line at the mouth of the
Columbia river, has a bearing on
several important questions.
When the boundry line was fixed by
the enabling act, Sand Island, at the
mouth of the Columbia, was not more
than one third as large as it is now.
The north boundry line fixed by
congress begins at a point one league
from the coast due west, and opposite
the middle of the north ship channel
of the Columbia river, thence easterly
to and up the middle channel of said
river, and, where divided by islands,
up the middle channel to point near
Fort Walla Walla.
Should the supreme court hold that
the boundry line now follows along
the same line that it did at the time
it was fixed by congress, nearly all
Sand island will be i'll the state of
Washington, the north channel of the
river having changed. Sand and
sediment has been deposited along the
north shore of Sand island, so that it
is now about three times as large and
the north ship channel of the river,
| where it passes Sand island, a long
| way north Of where it was in 1871.
The state of Oregon has always
claimed title to Sand island, on the
ground that the north ship channel of
the Columbia river was the northern
boundry of the state. This being the
case, all Sand island would be in the
state of Oregon.
The state land board has disposed
of all the land comprising Sand
island as we'll as several other islands
further up the river, which are now
claimed by Washington. II the
supreme court decides that the state
of Washington's contention is right,
then Oregon will have to pay Wash
ington for the land sold on Sand
island, and other islands north of the
boundry line, and besides Washing
ton will obtain jurisdiction over a
large tract of valuable fishing ground.

MALHEUR COUNTY RAILROAD
Citizens of Vale Determined to Have
Railroad Connections.

Citizens of Vale Determined to Have
Railroad Connections.
The citizens of Vale, Malheur
county. held meeting last week to
formulate plan to construct rail
road from that point to the .. S. L.
Three propositions were considered.
One is to go to Ontario, the other to
Nyassa and the third is to the nearest
point to the Oregon Short Line rail
road
By going on direct line some two
or three miles of road bed can be
saved. Ontario has been asked to
subscribe material bonus but the
city has not reported as to whether it
would do so or not. Vale has rails, d
some $40, 900 toward the project as a
bonus and has put up a $500 forfeit
against $500 forfeit that has tcen
put up by the promoters.
Nyassa offers large real estate and
cash bonus. One firm there has
agreed to deliver 100 acres of fine
land in the town of Nyassa, for term
inal grounds, right of way, and bust
ness block, worth all the way from
$13, 1000 to $4,000. The exact
amount Nyassa would raise is not
known at this time but it would easily
reach $50, 1t would require
some more mileage to reach Nyassa
than the main line at its nearest
point.
Nyassa is growing faster than any
town in the country at the present
time. Three big business blocks are
under way and Others are to be built
in the spring.
