A GREAT BIG FROST
Many Waila WalIans who Investigated
Boom village Have Returned.

Many Walla Wallans Who Investigated
Boom village Have Returned.
A number of people from this Sec
ton of the country have recently vis-
tied the town Of Oroville, in Okanog-
an country with a possible view Of
locating, says the Walla Walla Union.
The future prospects of the little town
were very highly colored by reason of
possibility of a railroad being built
through it. Those who have returned
are not very much impressed with
the prospect and say it is a little
mushroom town, with IA saloons
waiting for the approach Of the con-
struction crews Of the railroad to
furnish the required trade. at pres
ent all of the inhabitants of the town
are engaged in business and are simp-
ly trading around among themselves,
while waiting for the brief harvest.
Tbe IA saloons do not all together
sell a barrel Of beer in a day. They
further say that there is not enough
surrounding country to support a town
Of any size--big, high, rugged noun
tains, without even bunchgrass, rear
ing up on all sides. One man ventured
the assertion that there is not enough
tillaple land within radius Of ten
miles Of the town to make fair sized
wheat ranch in Walla Walla county.

Damage in Fruit District.

According to the officers of the
Fruitgrowers' union of Milton the
loss to the orchardists through the
storm Sunday is heavy. Since that
afternoon reports have reached them
from most of the more important
fruitgrowers of that section. These
show that all of the peaches and pears
that were ripe were knocked from the
trees and will be loss. 1t is also
estimated that from one-half to two
thirds of the winter apples we're blown
to the ground, making almost an abso-
Lutte loss of that portion Of the crop.
Besides the loss Of fruit, much loss
was sustained from trees being blown
down or broken. Many of the trees
were uprooted by the strong wind.

SERIOUS DRouTH AT CoLFAx.
Use Of Water for Lawns Has Been
Prohibited.

Colfax is without water for irri-
eating lawns, and strenuous efforts
to husband the water until rains fall
are being made in order to prevent a
famine. The big spring near Elber-
ton from which water is being piped
to the Colfax reservoir was found to
be insufficient for all city purposes,
and for several weeks water has been
pumped from the Palouse river into
the reservoir in addition to the flow
from the spring. The Palouse river
has become merely a stagnant pool
and investigation by physicians show
ed it dangerous to be used for drink
ing purposes. Accordingly the city
council voted to discontinue pumping
from the river, and passed an ordi-
nance forbidding the sprinkling Of
lawns under penalty of $5 fine.
1t is believed that by close economy
the spring will supply enough water
for drinking and house use until the
fall rains come. Had not water been
piped from the spring this year Col
fax's condition would have been
serious, for the Palouse river, from
which water had been secured many
years, is dry in many places for the
first time in its history, and the town
could not have been supplied from it.

The widow and the Fool.

"The Widow and the FOOL Nat
Goodwins' 4-act comedy drama, was
presented at the Athena opera house
Wednesday night by Mr.. and Mrs.
Welch assisted by local talent. john
sons orchestra added much to the
pleasures of the evening by the rendi-
tion Of several musical selections.
The piece is evidently a hard and
trying one for amateurs, but doubtless
interesting and entertaining when pre-
sented by professional cast. The
local players did well considering the
number OF reheaIsals they gave the
play and the short time intervening
when the cast was made up and the
presentation. Mr.. and Mrs. Welch
as usual gave evidence of much dra-
matte ability. They go from here TO
Pepdleton where they viii put on a
series Of plays.

ATTEMPTED HOLDUP
WILLIAM BANNIsTER BRINGS
HIS KNIFE INTO PLAY.
One Of the Fellows Has His Clothing
slashed and Retreats in
Short Order.

William Banister, the engineer at
the city pumping station, had rather
an exciting experience while at work
the other night. Two men acting in
suspicious manner, called ON Mr..
Banister and one asked for cigarette
PAPERS. Being told by Mr.. Banister
that he had none the fellow replied
"all right Z.
One then went into the furnace
room and the other suggested that the
engineer see what he was doing in
there, and followed Banister to the
door. The engineer saw that some
thing had to be doing and quick as a
flash whipped out his knife and made
stroke at the fellow who was follow
ing. The attack was so sudden that
the man was taken by surprise and in
his hurried retreat, fell over pile of
cinders and said he had enough. The
other fellow came out of the room and
ran away. Mr.. Banister believes that
if they had gotten him into the en-
gine room, they would havesheld him
up.

FARMERS FACE DISASTER.
Boats Cannot N ayigate River and Crops
will Rot In Field.

Boats Cannot N ayigate River and Crops
will Rot In Field.
Thirty per cent of the fruit crop
will go to waste ON the Snake river
this season because there are no tran
sportation facilities for bringing 1t to
market. Hundreds Of tons of other
produce will also have to be thrown
away by the farm ers Of that section
for the same reason.
The steamer Mountain Gem, the
only boat which was plying between
Lewiston and Riparia, has been tied
up. says the Portland Journal. For
the last week she has been cutting
her way through the bars, and the
hard knocks she received mean
speedy ruin. The vessel was charter
ed about three weeks ago by the O..
r. & N. company with the hope that
she could be operated until the steam
ers Spokane and Lewiston would be
able to resume their runs.
Fruitgrowers of the Snake river
estimate that one third of their crop
will rot in the fields; this in addition
to great quantities of vegetables,
which had heretofore been shipped to
the Portland market.
It is said that this loss will be
sufficient to affect the local price Of
fruits and vegetables. 1t Is the first
time that the Snake has been closed to
navigation for years. Service can
not be resumed until heavy rains fall
and it is asserted that this will be too
late to save even small portion Of
the crops.

PLEA FOR INSANE.
Dr. Howell Believes Too Many Patients
are "Railroadcdp to Asylum.

Dr. Howell Believes Too Many Patients
are "Raiiroadedp to Asylum.
In behalf of the great number of
unfortunates arrested, tried and con-
victed every year on the charge of in
sanity, many of whom later proved to
have been i'll of body, rather than of
mind, w. James Howells, late super
intendent of the eastern Washington
hospital for the insane, has had pub
lished in the Medical Sentinel, a
journal printed in Portland, an article
dealing with the carelessness often
exhibited by physicians in the exam
ination of persons arrested for in
sanity, the laxity of the law regarding
commitment to the asylum, and the
consequent great injustice done alleg-
ed insanity patients.
''It is a mighty serious thing to COM
NIT a person to the madhouse unless
he really is insane" says DR.. ssHowells.
''It hands with man TO his dying
day, no matter whether he is really
insane or not, and physicians and
courts cannot make too sure that an
accused person is crazy before com
mitting him. Lots of instances ]
could call to mind wherein the patient
was not at all insane when commit.
ted to the asylum, but only ill-suffer-
ing, perhaps, from some acute kidney
trouble or some such disorder, which
temporarily affected his mind but
which if the patient could have had
proper medical treatment for a few
days, would have passed away and
the patient would not have been com.
pelled to spend the. rest of his days
under the Cdium of having been al
one time an inmate of the lunatic
asylum. Then, there are cases where
old people are showed into asylums by
children who are tired of caring for
them.
"When we stop to realize that it IL
altogether upon the recommendation
of the examining physicians. that .
patient is sent to the asylum by the
court, we realize that grave respon
sibility rests upon the doctors, and
how important it Ia to the one ac
cused, and to the state generally fol
that matter, that they take every pre-
caution possible to make sure the ac
cused is insane beyond all question
before recommending to the judg,
| that he be committed. Z

NOTHING FOR PUBLICATION,
Governor Mead Not willing TO Discuss
Guards Matter.

Guards Matter.
Governor Mead, who arrived in
Walla Walla Wednesday from Port
land, said to a representative of the
Union that he had nothing new to
give to the press concerning the pro-
posed removal of guards at the peni-
tentiary. The governor was met at
the station by Warden Kees, who is
entertaining him while In the city.
During the afternoon he received q
number Of the prominent citizens of
the city at the warden's office, where
he freely discussed the question re-
garding the guards. Among those
who called upon him were United
States Senator Ankeny. State Senator
f. M. Pauly, ex-senator o. 7. Corn
we'll, members of the city council and
many prominent republicans of the
county and city, who appeared to dis
cuss with him the matter which
brought him here.
Governor Meade did not indicate
what line of action he proposed TO
recommend to Warden Kees. He
said, however, that he would an
nounce his final position regarding
the matter.

COUNTY WINS AGAIN
SUPREME COURT REFUSES MO
TION FOR NEW TRIAL.
District Attorney Phelps Will Collect
$4,000 Tax Money From
o. r. 4 N. Company.


Motion for a rehearing Of the tax
case of Umatilla county and the Ore
gon Railway g. Navigation company,
has been denied in the supreme court
As soon as a mandate is granted
District Attorney Phelps will take up
the matter of collecting the sum of
$4,000 which the road owes the
county.
In this action the railroad denied
that the tax was made properly and
one connection was that the o. r. g
N. company did not necessarily mean
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company. The only recourse left the
road will be filing a suit in equity
asking that the tax be reduced.

FIND a RICH MINE.
sumpter District startled by Discovery
of Gold Ore.

Sumpter District startled BY Discovery
of Gold Ore.
The Blue Mountain American Of
Sumpter gives the following account
Of the discovery of remarkably rich
body of gold ore in an abandoned
mine near Bald mountain;
One of the most remarkable strikes
yet recorded in Eastern Oregon is
herewith announced in the uncovering
this week of one of the richest, if not
the very richets, surface payshoots
opened in this land of gold.
Remarkable not alone from the
quartz, full ten inches wide, being
shot and sprinkled with free gold
and running into the thousands of
dollars per ton but from the fact that
as depth is attained in the glory
hole" the paystreak is widening, as
when the representative of the Ameri-
can left there yesterday morning it
had increased to almost q foot in
width, and the highly interesting
stories connected with its location
and abandonment by the original To-
Gator and subsequent location and
abandonment four times by people
well known throughout the district.
| The strike was made in wha is
known as the Nugget group, acquired
this year by Dan Dunno, A. M. Bess-
ler aud Charles Butler, three of the
best known underground workers in
the district and who are now lifted
from wage earners to owners of a
property that bids fair to place mag
nificent sums to their credit.
Fast as the phenomenally rich ore
can be extracted it is sacked by two
of them while the third is busily en-
gagged in cutting a trail to the con-
Meeting wagon road just below the
Bald mountain hoist and tomorrow
some two or three tons OF. the rich
stuff will be packed over and brought
to the Sumpter smelter.
Speaking Of its richness, Chas. f.
Chatten, travelling correspondent Of
this paper, who has just returned
from the scene of the great strike,
said: 1T is undoubtedly the richest
ore yet opened on the surface in the
camp and from paintings made right
at the glory hole it is safe to say
that every ton taken from the pay
streak will run far above $4,000 pei
ton and some of the ore will mosl
certainly run above $4,000 per ton. Z
\ The group is situated about eight
| miles from Sumpter on the east slope
Of Bald mountain and was originally
located in 1895 and abandoned; re
4 located the following year, abandoned
again and remained idle till 1900
located and abandoned again and re
mained idle and unnoticed till it wal
relocated and incorporated in tht
Combination Gold Mining company
in 1900 under the name of the United
Bullion group.
Internal dissension arose among tn
officials Of that organization and no
even the assessment work was per
formed and it was relocated by wei
known mining man of Sumpter, VIII
also abandoned it and this year it wa
relocated by the present owners VIII
