In Portland tho average rainfall
for October during the past 30
years has been but 3.39 inches.
The heaviest rainfall recorded dur

curred in 1882, when 11.58 inches
fell. The other extreme was
reached in 1895, when only a trace
fell during the entire month. In
October, 1900, it rained 21 days and
the total precipitation was 3.87
inches. The average precipitation
for the entire rainy season during
the past 30 years has been 43.94
inches. W hat is true inroitlanu

known (o the great majority of the
people. The Association is send
ing out two or three carloads every
day of the finest prunes that were
ever shipped from Oregon.
Toothpick and Peanut.
In the heat of a political disa
greement men oft-times make out
landish wagers. A wager is re
ported by the Portland Telegram
between two East Side men, and, to
say the least, it is well out of the
usual channel of campaign bets.
Both men are ardent supporters of
the cause which they espoused. Ac
cording to agreement, the Bryan
man, having lost has a task on
han-J that will furnish him with a
demand far patience. The wager
was as follows:
The Bryan man agreed that if
McKinley were elected he would
roll a peanut up a hill one mile in
length with a toothpick, and in the
event that this task had not been
accomplished by night-fall, he is to
camp all night on the spot where
the peanut has reached, and this
without liquid refreshment, too.
The McKinleyite declared that if
Bryan were elected he would do
likewise. The McKinley man as
serts that his friend on the other
end of the wager had better provide
himself with a tent.

Not Ev&rt Phiiipps.
A rarnnrfcaltle coincidence
had
last
I ILS Li 111 lij 1 tl Lit I'lJit A l"tU
in. During the evening a
young man stepped up to Officer J.
II. Phillips and touching him on
the shoulder handed him a card
and asked to speak with him. Hie
card bore the name of M. Clyde
Phiiipps, Corvallis. It seems that
some twelve years ago a young man
named Phi!ippshad disappeared
from Corvallis and although he had
been traced to San Francisco and
Australia ha had finally disap
peared entirely. About the time
of his disappearance Officer Phil
iipps, of this city was in Corvaliis
and lived thero for nine months
and became acquainted with many
of the young fellows there, then
left there and had never been back.
Last summer he met a young man
named Friendly and in conversa
tion it developed that they had
known each other in Corvallis.
Officer Phiiipps, who at one time
ran between Sau Francisco and
Australia, also spoke of both places
to the man Friendly and when
Friendly returned to Corvallis a
few weeks ago, ho told M. Clyde
Phiiipps that he had seen Ins
(Phiiipps') brother and that he
was in Astoria. Young Phiiipps
then telephoned here and ascer
tained that a man by that name
and tallying very closely to his de
scription of his brother was living
here. Last night he arrived down
here to lock him up and when he
fuund him was so positive that
Phiiipps was his long-lost brother
that he went up to him and spoke
to him as stated above, giving him
the card to watch the effect. Tho
officer accidentally covered the Cor
vallis with his finger and at once
thought him to be the Clyde Phii
ipps that disappeared from Astoria
last week and began asking Mm
questions on tli9 subject. They
finally succeeded in getting mat
ters straightened out, but found
that they were no relation. As

Another Gold Brick.
Periodically this locality is
gingered up by a gold excite
inont. The latest strike is re
ported from Detroit on the line
of the C. & E. It is said that
gold-bearing ore, mountains- of
it, varying in value from low
grade to extremely rich, has
been found and a number of
olaims have already been staked
by eager seekers for riches.
A short six months ago, while
running some lines about one
and a half miles from the town
of Detroit, W.J. Smith's com-
jpass reiU3ed to woric. As lie
was 111 a hurry at the time lie
did not stop to investigate the
cause. Later, however, he again
visited the same place, and dis
covered free milling ore assaying
$5.50 per ton. This was some
little time ago, and it has been
kept very quiet.
Of late the matter of the fixd
has leaked out, and farther pros
pecting resulted in bringing to
light much richer ore. which is
now being assayed. The mines
found are similar to the Tread
well mines in Alaska, not ledges
bu9 mountains, and run about
six miles in length and three
quarters of a mile wide. Twen
ty claims have been taken.
Some thirty-five men were pros
pecting the district Monday with
good success. Smith & Smith
will put in machinery as
soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be made.
If later prospects should de
velop the riches promised by
the first finds, the prospects are
very flattering, and a gold ex
citement of no mean proper,
tions a Klondike on a small
scale is certain to result.
Tried to Escape.
Promptly at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning Judge Hamilton sentenced
H. Kubli to two year8 in the peni
tentiary for stealing the team and
hack of Mrs. S. A. Cooper last
spring. As soon as he was sen
tenced Sheriff Burnett and Deputy
Sheriff Henderson started to take
the prisoner back to jail. Deputy
Henderson was in the lead as they
passed out through the back en
trance of the court house, then
came Kubli, folloved by Sheriff
Burnett. Mr. Henderson turned to
the left as he passed through the
door, and as quick as a flash the
prisoner dashed to tle right and
made a break for liberty. Sheriff
Burnett ordered him to halt, but he
paid no attention and the sheriff
fired a couple of shots, aiming at
the ground, as he did not desire to
shoot the man without it became
absolutely necessary. Kubli ran
toward the residence of J. H. Simp
son, and in crossing one of the
walks, slipped and "fell down, but
qu'cklv arose and continued his
lead. The officers gave chase and
when Sheriff Burnett reached this
place, he, too, fell down; Deputy
Henderson also to. k a tumble at
this point. It seems the boards
were slimy and caused a'l of them
to slip. The sheriff out ran his
man and caught him just in front
of the reSidfnce named. Sheriff
Burnett will take Kubli to Salem today.
O. V. Motley is Dead.
A telegram from Sparta, Ore
gon, reached this osty Tuesday
morning announcing the sudden
death of O. V. Motley from
heart disease at midnight Mon
day, after an illness of an hour.
Mr. Motley was born in Octo
ber, 1849, in Clatsop count'.
While he was quite young his
parents moved to Benton county
and took up the donation land
claim now occupied by Oliver
Witharn. Here Mr. Motley
grew to manhood. He was
united in marriage with Miss
Mary McLagan in June, 1878,
and she, with four children,
Carrie, Belle, Lee and William,
survive him.
For many years Mr. Motley
was employed in the bu&cher bus
iness in this city, being at one
time in partnership with Nick
Baeson. In 1885 he removed
with his family to Crook oounty
where he engaged for a number
of years in the sheep business.
In 1894 he took up his residence
at Sparta, where he resided
until his death.
His mother, Mrs. E. W. Mot
ley, who survives him, resides
at Milton, Oregon. Two broth
ers are R. T. Motley, Milton,
Oregon, and C. N. Motley, Sil
ver City, Nevada. His four sur
viving sisters are Mrs. McEwan,
Tacoma, Washington, Mrs.
Logsdeu, Riddle, Oregon, Mrs
Wrightsman, Los Angeles, and
Mrs. Henderson, of Corvallis.
The remains were interred at
Sparta Wednesday forenoon. As
he was a member of the Masonic
and A. O. U. W. lodges of this
citv many people thought that
his body might be brought kere
for burial. He carried a $2,000
life insurance policy in the lat
ter order.
College Wins Its Case.
The case of M. Portor vs. E. W.
Strong came before the court Mon
day. Tuesday being a non-judicial
-day the jury was excused until
Wednesday morning and at that
time the matter was again taken
up. It occupied all the forenoon
and did not go to the jury until
after dinner. The case wa9 an
action to recover mcney for logs
cut on the lands of Mr. Porter.
The plaintiff held that these logs
were worth $186.82, and asked for
the further sum of $100 as dam
ages. Tho jury rendered a verdict
in favor of Porter in the sum of
$125 for the logs but failed to 6nd
that he bad been at all damaged.
The testimony went to show that
Strong had entered into a contract
with a Mr3. Clark for certain tim
ber on her lands. These lands sur
rounded a seven-acre tract owned
by Porter, and Strong's loggers got
into this tract, and cut some tim
ber. Porter claimed that he
warned Strong's workmen not to
cut these logs.
In the case of D. A. Osburn vs
Sam Sun, Sam Jake et al, action to
recover money, the defendants' de
murer was sustained by the court
and the case was dismissed. Yates,
Yates & Gibson represented the de
fendants.
Considerable timo waB consumed
in reenring a jury in the matter of
H. N. Eley vs Agricultural College.
The first witness was called to the
stand at five o'clock Wednesday
evening. About the first question
asked by the plaintiffs attorney
was objected to by W. E. Yates for
defendant. A battle over fine legal
questions ensued and it ended yes
terda3r afternoon in a motion by
the plaintiff for a non suit. Yates,
Yates & Gibson and Weatherford
fe Wyatl, of Albany, were the at
terneys for the College, while W.
S. McFadden, Attorney Watson, of
Albany, and Attorney McNary, of
Salem, appeared for the plaintiff.
