This morning Coroner Henderson
received information from Irrigon to
the effect that the body Of a man had
been found in the willows on Riley
Jones place three miles west of
Umatilla. The letter stated that
nothing but the skeleton remained
of the body, that the head was de-
tached and the feet gone. The
clothing, which was said to be that of
state of preservation. 1t was the
opinion of those who found the body
that it had lain there ever since last
summer.
No one has been reported missing
from that locality during the last
few months, and consequently there
is no clew to the identity of the skele-
ton so far. At first Coroner Hender-
son thought 1t might possibly be a
body cast up from the river, as a
body was lost at Lewiston, Idaho,
several months ago and has not been
recovered. However, 1t has since
been ascertained that the willows
mentioned are south of the railroad
track and half mile from the river,
so the body could not have been de-
livered up by the Columbia. The
Jones place, on which the body was
found, is just one mile this side of
the Morrow county line, and is about
half way between Umatilla and Irri-
gon.
Coroner Henderson left for Umatil-
la on the delayed west-bound train
this afternoon and will hold an in
quest over the remains tomorrow.

Down From the Mines.

Zoeth Houser, of the Standard
mines at Quartzburg, is in the city on
business. The mill on the Standard
mines has been started, with an ex-
cellent showing, but the severely cold
weather caused a shutdown, for a
few days. AS soon as the weather will
permit, the mill will be run con-
stantly. AS work proceeds on the
Standard, it improves in appearance
and promises to be one of the best
properties in the Quartzburg district.
The snowfall in the Greenhorn noun
tains is very light and there are grave
fears that water will be scarce in the
mines the coming season. Mr.. Houser
will return to the mines in a few days.

PRESBYTERIAN MEETINGS OPEN
Series of Revival Meetings Starts Off
With Most Promising Prospects.

The first of the Needham meetings
at the Presbyterian church, was held
last night, with promising results.
While the meeting was held one day
in advance of the date formally de-
cided upon, the attendance was very
good, and the interest was intense.
Rev. Needham is an able and con-
vincing speaker, with a magnetism
and attractiveness that is possessed
by few pulpit orators. His sermons
are convincing and his logic unan-
swerable. His long association with
Rev. d. L. Moody, has given him a
wide experience in evangelistic work,
and the meetings at the Presbyterian
church promise to be highly enter
tanning.
The music is in charge of Clifton
Powers, who is a singer of extraordi-
nary ability, and whose work in con-
nection with the evangelist has been
one of winning feature of some of
the most important revival meetings
In the country.
The meetings will continue every
night for at least two weeks, and all
are cordially invited to attend. This
is the series of meetings which the
Presbyterian church had intended to
hold, at the beginning of the year.
when the other churches began their
meetings but which was unavoidably
delayed on account of the illness Of
the family of Rev. Calhoun, who was
to conduct the meeting.

Walla Walla Paper Fears for the Crop
OF That District.


The walla Walla Statesman, speak
ing of the damage to wheat in that
district, says:
Reports telling of damage to fall
wheat by the cold wave have begun
to arrive from various parts of the
county. In the foothill district the
damage 1t is thought will not be as
great as on the flat and in the more
open country where the high wind
Saturday had full sway in sweeping
the few inches of snow off the grain.
On some parts of the flat the tenn
perature went as low as IS below and
fall wheat has suffered in conse-
quence, many farmers, after examin-
ing their fields. stating that it will be
necessary to reseed this spring if they
~sxpect TO raise a crop,
George Minnick, a big farmer Of
the Spring Valley district, said this
morning that while he had not visit
ed any of his fields for several weeks,
he had received reports from neigh
bors of very diseouraging charac-
ter,
at is hard to tell the exact dam
age to field of wheat" Mr.. Mlnnick
said. Fall wheat in the Spring VAL
ley district was looking very back
ward as 1t was. Just what additional
damage has been done by the present
cold wave it is hard to say, although
we expect it will be necessary to re-
seed some of our land this spring"
