Sheep Camp Destroyed by Fire.

Milligan's sheep camp was total
ly destroyed by a timber fire last
Saturday night. They had their
sheep above Tom Wainionpaa's
homestead, and lost everything in
cluding saddles, guns, provisions,
etc. They had hard work to save
their sheep. Milligan and his
herders did their utmost to prevent
the fire getting tbs best of them
but without effect. Stacey Bros.
camp about a mile distant was al
armed about midnight by the rat
ting of the exploding ammunition
and went up the next morning to
ascertain the cause.

COMMERCIAL KEilEH.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
Weather conditions still dominate the
trade situation. Low temperatures and
deep snow have interfered with traffic
and checked the revival of business that
was well under way in most sections OF
the county Retail distribution is not
maintained, and the deleterious effects
are visible in all outdoor work, while
the interruption TO movement of freigh:
has affected manufacturing TO some ex-
tent.
Prices of staple commodities at the
exchanges are advanced by the re
stricted receipts at primary markets
There is a partial offset in the largely
increased demand for heavy weight
wearing apparel and oher Winter goods,
which promises to reduce supplies in all
portions at the end of the season.
Meanwhile there is evidence that con
fidence in the fuure remains unshaken,
preparations for Spring and Summer
trade continuing ulabated, except where
fuel or other supplies are temporarily
blockaded in transit Jobbing trade in
dry goods is on liberal scale. Railway
earnings thus far reported for Febru-
ary were 10 per cent. smaller than year
ago, probably another result of bad
weather.
Dispatches from leading iron and
steel centers indicate no check to pro-
gress, except the temporary Interrupt

Sen. John H. Mitchell Of Port

hem orrhage caused by the pulling
Of four teeth. Sen. Mitchell was
seventy years of age and during
nearly all of his life was held in
high esteem, at the time of his
death holding the highest Office
within the gift Of his state. About
two years ago he was charged with
being implicated in some extensive
land frauds in Oregon, was tried
and convicted. Pending an ap-
peal his sentence had not been i'm
posed, but with disgrace and ruin
staring him in the face, and with a
