iB in
'. ' " From Saturday's Daily.
B. F. Man niae, of Goldendale,
the city.
- Attorney G. W. Stapieton, of Port
land, is in the city attending to legal
business.
Michael Doyle of Eight-mile was
among the callers at the Mountaineer
office today.
Eugene Looney, the 'Mitchell sheep
mant is enjoying the good things at
the Umatilla House.
Mr. Printz and family, of this city
left on the boat' this morning for
Stevenson, where they will establish
a camp.
James Mackin, the well known
stockman from Mackin flat, near Bake
oven, returned from a trip to Portland
last evening.
Mrs. Will H. See and Misses Lola
Henderson and Eva Went worth, of
' Warm Springs, are guests at the
Umatilla House.
Frank M. and Brent Driver ieft this
morning for their homes at Wamic.
They have been in the city purchasing
a header with . which to harvest their
crops.
A telephone message from St Vin
cent's Hospital last evening stated
that Edward Jenkins, of this city, who
was operated on Thursday morning
for appendacitas was much better than
on the previous day and wad in a fair
way toward speedy recovery.
- - M. T. Nolan is making some decided
; changes in his place of business in this
city; New shelving is being put in
in his grocery store so that there will
be sufficient room for his book store
and grocery in the same ' building,
. which will make it much more con
venient than it is at present and enable
him to get along with less help.
One car load of sheep shipped
to the Union Stockyards in Portland
last evening by D. P. Ketchum, of this
city. Very few shipments have been
made from the stock yards this week.
It is expected, however, that they will
be kept busy next week as ' several
large shipments of cattle and sheep to
' eastern points are spoken of.
Several members of the Salvation
Army from this city left on the boat
this morning for'Portland, where they
- will attend a series of meetings held
by Commander Booth Tucker, who
has charge of the wellfare of the Sal
vation Army io the United States.
; Commander Booth Tucker has won-
. derful ability as an evangelist and will
certainly draw enormous crowds to
hear him in Portland as he does in .
every city in which he speaks.
An alias warrant has been ordered
by .the county court on the '97 tax roll
and placed in the hands of the sheriff
for collection. "In the matter of the !
country road petition for Davis Divers, !
. of Hood river, the petition was granted
and the road established. The same
action was taken by the court, in,
similar matters from A A. Bonney.
of Tygh Valiey and R. E. Robertson .
and others upon the petitioners pay
ing the damages.
; One of the finest specimens of timo- t
' thy bay that we have ever seen was
brought in by J. W. Harriman this .
morning from the- old 'Jack McHaley
ranch on Eight-mile, which place Mr.
Harriman at present owns,; i It is Bye .
: feet six and one-half inches hi?b and
- will produce at least 3 tons to the
acre which, is a splendid veild, and
convince any. one that what Mr
' Harriman shows us is only a fair
sample of the entire crop. ' .
. - We were . informed ; yesterday by
Earnest Lanjtreen, of Endersby, tnat
he has several times been the victim
of some sneak thief-. Several months
ago some one entered bis house and
1 took a Winchester rifle. From what
certain parties said to him be thought
it might have been done as a joke and
: that the same might be 'returned, and
took no action in the matter. Later
someone stole a ret of harness and now
Mr. Langreen is convinced that there
is something else than a joke and offers
$20 00 reward for the capture and con
viction of the miscreant.
Yesterday, for the first time, Seufert
Bros.; the enterprising' cannerymen,
launched into the fruit canning busi
ness by putting up quite a quantity of
cherries. We are unable to say
whether they intend. operating a fruit
cannery, on a large scale, but think it
- more than likely that they will do so
in the near future. : They have large
orchards of their own and rcucb of the
product of the same goes to waste
which might be canned and a hand
some profit made on it while at the
same time this would afford a market
for the numerous other fruit raisers in
this section.
Justice A. J. Brigham of Dufur
pomade' the Mountaineer office a pleasant
call .today. ' Among other things Mr.
Brigham -informs us that the 'Dufur
public -schools promise this, year to
reach if riot surpass the high standard
of excellence for which it was noted in
' former years. Prof Allard of Hood
River will act in the' capacity of prin
cipal and will, have two of the oest
teachers who can be' foand ' for his as-
sistants. Mr. Brigham at present
holds the poslton of Editor of the
Dufur Dispatch, aa Mr. Anderson has
been called to Wamio on acoountof the
serious Illness i of a -relative at that
place.
' From the indications at present it
' looks very much as if the extensive
plans make to receive the Oregon
volunteers at Portland would have to
be changed as the war department
speaks of sending the troops iron San
Francisco by rail, in order that the
transports may immediately be loaded
with regulars and return to Manila.
An . effort will probably be made to
secure other ships to bring the boys
to 'Portland, as it is the intention
to have the troops mustered out at
Vancouver barracks. About . 40
steamers have already been chartered
in Portland to go down the river to
meet the transports, and many tickets
are' already fold, and unless Commis'
siooer Hermao; can prevail upon the
department to i'aead the boys ''to Port
land by boat many will be greatly dis-

leaf cigar store, has bought the right
to sell a patent tool, a combined
wrench, io four counties in this state,
one county being Wasco. He expects
to return here in about a month and
put the tool on the market.
It is stated on what appears to be
reliable authority that the two trans
ports bearing the Oregon regiment
were siKLted off San Francisco bay
yesterday afleroooo. If this is true
they should be at the mouth of the
Columbia by next Wednesday or
Thursday. , .
E. R. Cary, the Prlneville hotel man,

weeks.
The exact date when the Oregon
troops will arrive will be determined
soon, hence it is, time for The Dalles
to begin making preparations for re
ceiving them. Nothing ehort of a big
banquet and a reception at the Vogt
will be good enough for the Dalles
boys when they get home. Let the
citizens begin n.aking preparations at
once.
Last Saturday Governor Geer par
doned Lee Gett, who was doing life
sentence io the Penitentiary. He was
sentenced from The Dalles in 1895 for
the murder of another Chinaman. He
was pardoned on the condition that he
be d-ported, and was delivered over to
the custouyof U. S authorities when
released from the pen.
Secret societies and lodges wishing
to be represented in the decoration
of our steamer Dalles City by Earnest
Jensen will have to take immediate
steps . as the y time is limited. The
Dancer "'will cost $3.00 complete, and
after tbe retui n of the volunteers each
lodge will be given their banner. This
is no money making tcheme, the
object being to represent all tbe peo
ple of The Dalles in the welcome.
Deputy- District Attorney Ed. Mays
was in the. city today looking after
Johnson, the counterfeiter caught
here last Friday. When taken before
U. 5. Commissioner Huntington,
j Johnson was ready to plead guilty, for
I he acknowledged o having had the
i counterfeit coin, but insteal was ad
vised to waive examination and was
held to the U. S grand jury. He will
i be taken to Portland where he will be
put in jail to await the sitting of the
grand jury.
will have changed hands in The
Dalles than on any day during the
entire season. At nooy one buyer
had purchased seven clips and al
though it was impossible to learn what
the numerous other buyers had secur
ed everthing indicated that they had
also invested deeply. The season is
getting late and the producers are
feeling somewhat doubtful as to the
outcome and seem to be of the opinion
that the best thing to do is to sell
when they can get as high as 14 cents
for good wool.
Dr. W. W. Oglesby, of Junction
City, and Prof. H. J. Powers an ex
pert mineralogist from Chicago were
in the city last evening en route to Dr.
Oarlesby's mine near Prineville. They

an other mining expert of consider
able ability and an investigation will
be made before so thai tho necessary
financial assistance can be secured io
develop the mine or the same may be
placed on the market.
The open season for deer hunting
begins on the 15th instant, but hunters
must nut sell any venison, under a
penalty of f 100 to $500. Game War
den Qulmby has deputies out among
the hunting grounds, and these have
orders to prosecute all violators to the
full extent of tbe law. Mr. Quimby
has already succeeded in convicting
four persons of killing deer out of sea
son, ana tms ne imoKs, win nave a
salutary effect on the other would-be
violators. He is especially pleased
with the conviction of Ole Oleson, at
Rosehurg, as be says this man had a
gang of eight assistants, who slaugh
tered Ceer by wholesale just for their
hides. He thinks the present law is
ample to permit the increase of deer.

Excess of receipts. $ 3.041 93
In March 1899. the cits made a tax
levy of 6i mills on the dollor, the
levies for previous years having been 5
mil's: so that In order to compare the
results of the different fiscal years,
this, extra H mills should betaken
into consideration. This extra tax of
H mills has ud to June 30, 1899
brought in $739.63, which leaves
total amount of income over expend!
tures for the past fiscal yerr at a 5 mill
rrtn of $3,041 93, less extra 1 mills tax
$739.63, : or an excess of $2,302.30 I
receipts over expenditures on a 5 mill
basis. '
In conclusion tbe following is
comparison of the present fiscal years
For the year commencing July 1, 1896,
and ending June 30, 1897, the amoun
of expenditures over amount incom
was $42.16. For the year commencing
July 1, 1867 and ending June 30, 1898,
the amount of expenditures over
amount of income was $58.73. For the
past fiscal year exsess of income over
expenditures was $4,041.93, and at 5-
mill rate of levy it would have been
$2302.30.
By virtue of our late charter, it
required that at least $1,000 shall be
put away by tbe city on or before
May 1st, of each year, for the purpose
of creating' a sinking fund for tbe
future payment of the city's bonded
obligations amounting to $57,000.
As this sum was borrowed by the
city about six years ago, the council
a few months ago transferred $6,000
into said fund from the city's general
fund, making $1,000 for each of said
six years, so that this should be taken
into consideration as s qualified ex
penditure; $1,000 of this sum was, by
terms of the charter, required to be
put'lito said fund; and in considering
the future expenditures of tbe city's
money It must be remembered that it
is imparatiye on the council to take
out of the city's general fund at least
$1,000 before the first day of May, each
year for a long time to come.

He Kerommenria Economy in Expenditure
; - and Some Important Improvements.
I Dalles City, Or., June 8, 1899.
To the Common Council of Dalles City :
i As Mayor of Dalles City it is my
duty at this time to recomesd the
adoption of such measures as I deem
expedient and proper.
The most important thin? for the
council to consider is the finances of
the city, ant to see how we can get
money into tbe treasury as well as out
of it. pnd that the money in tbe 'sink
ing fund is kept bearing interest con
tinually. The sewer proposition should be
taken hold of with renewed vigor and
pushed to an early completion.
I consider tbe city financially able
(with the present tax levy) to nrov'ue
street lighting and recom m nd the
appointment or a committee of your
body to see what can be done to that
end.
I recommend that the collection of
the road tax be continued until all
who are not exempt have paid the
same, as it is not right to collect only
from a few.
I call your attention to the fact that
tbe reprinting of the new cir.y charter
together with tbe ordinance to date
would be handy for reference, and if
it meets your approval, advise that the
same be printed in pbamphlet form.
Tbe vault in tbe office of tbe re
corder has been in bad chape ever
since the high water of 1894 inundated
the same. When the water so sud
denly, came into said office, it was
necessary to quickly move the records
to a place of safety in order to save
them from destruction, and in so re
moving them they were mixed to
gether and are not now in proper
order, and I therefore recommend
that said vault be overhauled and said
records be ro-arranged, and that all
old books and papers be conveniently
stored away in said vault in order to
make room for those that are to be
hereafter filed and preserved. And 1
finally recommend that you giye what
assistance you can to the board of fire
delegates in their efforts to get a re
duction in the rate of insurance by
providing the city with a chemical
engine and fire alarm system.
Respectfully submitted.
H. L. Kuck, Mayor.

HOSPITABLE ASTORIA.
The National Editorial Association Ad
mirably Entertained by Its Citizens.
As was remarked by a majority of
tbe delegates to the National Editorial
Association when thy visited Astoria
last Saturday, the Astorians have
their hearts precisely in the right
place. Never before were people
more royally entertained than the ed
itors were at the city by the sea.
When the special train arrived there
the 500 or more tourist9 were ushered
into the new warehouse of the A. & C.
R. R. where a splendid spread was
served, consisting principally of fish
in different stvles, while pretty
Astoria girls; dressed in pure' white,
flitted about the table attteoding to
tbe wants of their guests.
After lunch tbe visitors were taken
through one of tbe large canneries
j wbere tbey saw tbe process of canning
salmon demonstrated, then they were
taken to Seaside and permitted to en
joy an hour on the beacb. From Sea
side they were taken to Flavel. and
after viewing tbe splendid hotql at
i that place, were taken on board the
river steamer Baily Gatzert for a trip
down to the jetty. On the return to
Astoria the Point Adams life saving
j crew gave an exhibition drill, in
j which they overturned their boat a
number of times, though always com
' ing up in good shape. At Astoria
I the visitors were again fed by the
hospitable people, - who seemed de
termined to do everything possible to
make the visit of the editors a pleasant
one. Certainly Astoria did itself
credit on last Saturday, and will long
be remembered by tbe visiting ed
itors. Summer Fallowing.
; The experiment station In working
on for summer fallow on Eastern Ore
gon farms. For the Willamette Val
ley this question has been determined,
and corn, vetches and a dozen other
substitutes for cummer fallow have
been laid down; but on account of tbe
dryer climate and lack of soil moisture
in Eastern Oregon, tbe question for
that section is still unsolved.
By way of experiment the station
has secured a farm near Morrow,
which is being operated under dire&
tion of Dr. Withycombe. This farm
bas two fields in summer fallow; one
of coarser and the other of finer re
duction of soli particles, and a third
field is in peas. '
The effects will be tested from time
to time, during tbe season, and the
moisture of the soil under the three
treatments be measured. Tbe peas so
far baye only attained a height of
eight inches, and Dr. Withycombe is
of opinion that they will not be effec
tive for the desired purpose.
Where Will We -Spend Our summer
Vacation T
This is the time of year to think
about it, but before you decide, write
for an elaborate illustrated pamphlet
showing numerous , photo engraved
views of the many attractions at the
seashore and en route, and advantages
of tbe Columbia river beaches as
reached by the Astoria and Columbia
River railroad. Three hours and
thirty minutes from union depot,
fortiand, to your oeacb hotel in a
magnificent parlor car without change
or transfer is a convenience and luxury
few resorts can offer. Such is the in
itial attraction of this favorite route.
