When the suit came on it appeared
that man was driving seven hogs
along the highway, and that, finding
a gate Open, the animals all rushed
into yard and destroyed a good part
of a garden before they could be got

and the defendant a widower. The
plaintiff stated her case very clearly,
and the defendant admitted every
thing, but based his defense in the
open gate. But for the carelessness
of the plaintiff the hogs could not
have entered. The lawyers talked and
the justice whitfield, and when the
talking had ended his honor said:
While there was heap of action

wALLA wALLA WATER FIGHT.
Annual Contest Over Supply 4
Streams Has Opened.

The annual summer water fight be-
tween the residents along the Yellow
hawk and the users of Mill creek
water was opened Thursday night
when several residents of the Yellow
hawk country went to the weir which
divides the waters OF the two creeks
and loosened the boards In the dam,
diverting the entire flow from Mil,
creek, says the Walla Walla Union.
AS consequence no water flowed
through the city yesterday except
what originates in springs below the
weir. The City Mill, on Palouse street
was forced to shit down. At De-
ments mill improvements were being
made and the mill was not running
when the water was shut off
Every year the water question
around Walla Walla Is getting more
serious. Last year several threats
were made of partially destroying the
weir, and this year these threats have
been carried out.
The water problem Is more COM
plicated this year on account of the
changing of the channels of the
streams by the May floods. 1t is said
that the high water opened up a num-
her of channels through the rocks
under the streams and as a result
much of the water now flows under
ground to appear In springs several
miles below.

John r. Hunt, long resident of
Heppner, died at hts home in this
city early last Friday morning after
brief illness, at the age of nearly rs
years. The immediate cause of death
is attributed to a severe cold border
ing on pneumonia. At his advanced
age his system was not strong enough
to throw the disease and weakened
very rapidly until death relieved his
suffering.
James Neville, a pioneer of Morrow
county, died at the residence of Il
daughter at 526 Flanders street, Port
land, last Saturday evening, at the age
of 7G years. He died very suddenly
from a bursted blood vessel in the
head.
A short time before he died he had
been talking to a friend over the tele-
phone and stated that he felt better
than for some time. Soon thereafter
he became dizzy and was placed in
bed and a physician called. but moth
ing could be done to relieve him and
he soon passed away peacefully. The
funeral occurred Monday at Portland
The Times has taken considerable
pains to inquire into the crop condi-
tions of Morrow county since the hot
weather set in, and we find conflict
ing opinions in some localities. But
most farmers admit that the full ex-
tent OF the damage cannot be ascer-
tanned until threshing commences.
1t is no doubt true that spring
wheat has suffered considerably from
the heat, but in Morrow county the
percentage in spring sown grain is
comparatively light. It Is the general
belief that fall grain has been injured
hut little as it was too far advanced
when the hot days came.
Ordinarily wheat would not have
suffered from warm weather unac-
companied by winds, but the heavy
and continued rains during May and
June put grain in such n thrifty con-
dition that especially spring grain
suffered. but fortunately for the Nor
row county farmer this crop is not
large. Owing to the fact that the
acreage is larger than ever before, 1t
! is believed that the total crop will
not fall very far short of the usual.

WAsHINGToN's LOST CAVE.
Attractive Cavern Found on Lake
Pend d'OreilIc.

Lost cave. sometimes called the
Cavern of the Pend d'Oreille, on the
east bank of the Pend dOreille river,
one of the most wonderful pieces of
natural scenery in the state of Wash
ington, according to w. S. Yearsley,
who spent last week in the vicinity
of Metallinef says the Spokane Chron-
icle.
1T is very difficult of access" said
Mr.. Yearsley, "and for that reason is
rarely visited. 1t is practically a two
days journey from Spokane. One
must so to Newport on the Great
Northern, thence to Big Falls, the
head of navigation on the Pend
d'Oreille, by boat and must thereafter
travel 15 miles to reach the cave. 1t
is lS miles from Metalline. WASH, on
the trail to Boundary City.
"Our party consisted of d. T. Ham,
Edgar A. Terrence, George S. Cam
field and myself, of Spokane, Jesse
Samuel of Dayton, Wash. and John
Snavely of Metalline. We were gone
10 days, over two Of which were con-
suNleu IN our journey on root between
Metalline and the cave.
Never Fully Explored.
1.-THE cave has never been fully ex-
plored. With a little blasting, to en-
large openings, many branch caverns
might be penetrated for considerable
distance. The entrance is but four
feet square, and, although it is but "A
quarter mile from the main trail. one
must get native guide in order to
find it. The explored portion of the
cave is about 1900 feet in length. It
is probably considerably longer,
though it is too small to permit one
to penetrate it. For the most part 1t
is about 10 feet wide and perhaps IL
feet high.
For grandeur and exquisite beauty
the interior can hardly be surpassed
by any cave. Giant stalactites and
stalagmites reflect the light from the
torches. Were 1t lighted by electric
ity the effect would be indescribably
beautiful. Along either side are some
pretty cup-shaped formations, called
the fairies baths
some day this is destined to be
famous and become Mecca for tour
lists. The country in its vicinity Is
rugged and constitutes one great
scenic paradise"
