Miss May Enright left for Portland

in the railroad suits.
Judge Webster is crowding the court
work ahead as last as possible, sessions
being held each night. If the railroad
cases were out of the wav he would clean
the docket.
Young Wiley whom we mentioned
yesterday as starting on another tour
around the world it seems only went as

Mr. John Pashek has jast received a
nice lot of new samples of spring and

The passenger arriving at midnight
was loaded with snow. There are about
six feet of the beautiful on the Blue
mountains, and a tremendous snow - fell
yesterday and last night.
Sufficient snow fell early this morning
to whiten the ground. The first time
for the winter here, though the hills
around us have been covered with the
"congealed element" several times.
Three car-loads of cattle are being fed
here today, arriving from Hunington
this morning. The cars had a foot of
snow on then when they arrived, which
fell in five hours while coming through
the Blue Mountains.
We have it from reliable authority
that the railroad commisary here, has
been ordered to lay in extra supplies, and
that a much larger force will be put on
here for the purpose of having all the
reparing in The Dalles rather than Al
bina. The Boston Shoe & Leather company
sent their agents out last week and
already the orders are pouring in. The
brief financial troubles of the company
have all been settled and the factory will
be kept running steadily, and the force
increased as fast as required.
Seven timber claims located on the
head waters ofHood River will be the
subject of final proof in the land-office
here today and tomorrow. This means
1120 acres more taxable property for the
county, and it also means that Hood
River is to have additional sawmills and
that speedy and permanent growth
which necessarily follows.
Mr. B. S, Hubbard agent for Gast the
8t. Louis'lithegrapher was in the city
yesterday securing orders for work that
should be done here. Its all right, but
people who send east for their printing

for their supplies. It is the privilege of
the free bom American citizens in both

A few days ago the traveling men were
put out soliciting orders for the Boston
Shoe and Leather Company and they
are meeting with excellent success. Mr.
Robbins got one order for six cases of
goods from one firm in Oregon City and
all the way up the valley he is meeting
with like success. Mr. Fraser has been
to Pendleton and one or two other points
and has secured good orders. Work has
began, at the factory on the goods and
they will be pushed right through to
completion. The agents of the company
find they can undersell eastern factories
and furnish a better shoe. The factory
will soon have a large force of employes
at work.
TO BEAT TRAIN'S TIME.
go Around
Now that the portage railroad bill
seems in a fair way to become a law our
delegation at Salem should give the water
and charter bills some earnest attention.
We have long since outgrown our present
charter and between the city charter and
the present water bill affairs are decid
edly complicated. It is now shown that
the money in the fund will not be suffi
cient to complete the work and the pass
age of the water bill and new charter is
an absolute necessity if the works are to
be finished.
Willie Wiley Starts out to
the World.
Willie Wiley the 12 year old boy, that
conceived the idea of going around the
world in eighty days, and got as far as
New York, and was sent home to his
parents a couple of weeks ago, has taken
up his logbook and started out again on
a proposed trip, this time, he went west
on yesterday morning's extra, it he
could be put before the mast of a sailing
vessel, probably there would be some
efficacy in a restraint that is required in
such cases.
A VALUED CORRESPONDENT.
A Word From a Resident of Thompson's
. Addition Beet Sugar, Etc.
Editor Cuboxiclk: Though Thomp
son's addition failed to get the shoe fac
tory it still offers greater inducements
to home seekers than any place we have
seen, not excepting North Dalles, here
we have a deep rich soil, an abundance
of the purest water by digging from ten
to forty feet. The surface is practically
level, sloping to the north, while the
river which stretches away to the west
and northwest is unsurpassed for scenic
beauty, the soil is well adapted for rais
ing all kinds of fruits, berries and grapes
without irrigation. Some two thousand
trees, mostly Italian prunes have been
set out this last season ; fifteen buildings
have been erected the past year, many
of the lots having been sold to parties
who bought merely to hold for specula
tion.
While traveling down Five-mile hill
recently we noticed that it was very
rough, and we thought what a fine time
it would be to fill up the low places and
make the "rough way smooth" while
the ground is moist enough to pack and
while the farmers are idle and have the
time to do it. Call them out Mr. Road
Supervisor and get the blessings of a
grateful public.
While reading of the grand success of
the sugar beet industry in Nebraska,
we have been thinking that it would be
worth while to investigate the subject in
Wasco county. We believe the soil and
climate is well adapted to the culture
of the sugar beet. Try it farmers, the
seed will be furnished you free by the
The Hunt Road.
Parties from the east recently called on
the Northern . Pacific management and
settled all of the claims of that company
again Bt George W. Hunt, taking up all
the latter's notes. We learn the above
from reliable authority, who is also
responsible for the statement that work
on the road from Hunt s Junction to
Portland will be commenced in earnest
next month, at or near The Dalles, at
the Junction and at Portland, and that
the work will be crowded as fast as possi
ble. The gentleman who gave us the
above information is now in Mr. Hunt's
employ and expects to be here in charge
of the work inside of a month.
THE
I
WORLD'S FAIR, '
The House at Salem Appropriates Fifty
Thousand Dollars.
The house Tuesday refuted the charge
that it was composed principally of
mossbacks, and passed a bill to appro
priate 150,000 for the world's fair. The
bill was that introduced by Moore, of
Benton, as amended by the committee
on agriculture. It provides that (10,000
shall be appropriated this year, $20,000
in 1892 and $20,000 in 1893. Judge
Moore said he had favored a larger appro
priation, but bad become convinced that
no more than $50,000 would be appro
priated by this legislature. Several op
posed the bill because the amount was
not large enoueh, ana one member
moved to refer the bill to the committee
on ways and means, who have still under
consideration the bill of the state board
of trade, which appropriates a much
larger sum for the same purpose. Minto
said he was in favor of a Iareer appropri
ation, but was satisfied it could not be
passed. The people of Marion county
whom he represented, did not favor a
large appropriation. A good display
could be made with $50,000. It might
not do much advertising, but it would
make a fine display. Jennings intro
duced a remonstrance from 80u citizens
of Lane county against a larger appro
priation than X50.UUU. The motion

Register and Receiver, The Dalles, Or.
Siks : By act of congress approved
Seotembr 29. 1890. the grant to the
Northern Pacific railroad company, by
act of July 2, 1864 for that portion of its
main line lying between Wallula, Wash,
and Portland, Or., was declared forfeited,
the same having been unconstructed at
that date, and the odd-numbered sec
tions of land within the limits of the
withdrawal therefor, which took effect
Aue. 13, 1870, excepting a moiety of
those lying within the limits established
pursuant to the definite location of the
Cascade Branch of its road, were, under
the terms of the forfeiting act, resumed
and restored to the public domain. As
the limits established for the branch
line overlap the limits of the main
line, the forfeiture act provided that
only a moiety of the odd-numbered sec
tions lying within the overlaping limit
was affected thereby, and the railroad
company pursuant to instructions from
the Secretary of the Interior, called on
to designate which of the alternate odd
numbered sections it would elect to take,
that is, whether it would take the sec
tions uumbered 1, 3, 9, 13, etc., or those
numbered 3, 7, 11, etc. The company
has elected to take those numbered, 1, 5,
9, 13, etc., with certain exceptions.
These exceptions are of lands iu the
alternate sections numbered 3, 7, 11, 15,
etc., which the company has sold, and
in lieu of which it has surrendered lands
in sections 1, 5, 9, 13, etc. A list of the
lands in the numbered sections to be re
stored which the company has furnished
as having sold and which it wishes' to
retain is enclosed herewith, and opposite
the tracts, descriptions . of the surren
dered lieu lands in the numbered sec
tions the company elects to take, are
giveD. 1 also enclose tor your miorma
tion and guidance copies of the instruc
tions under the forfeiture act which were
prepared with the approval of the Secre
tary of the Interior, and have to call
your attention particularly to that por
tion thereof relating to the second sec
tion, and defining who are entitled to
second homestead entry under its pro
visions.
In order to carry the restoration into
effect, you will at once, cause to bo pub
lished in some newspaper of general cir
culation in your district, a notice that
the lands (with the exception above
mentioned) hertofore withdrawn for the
Northern Pacific railroad company, have
been restored to the public domain and
will be opened to entry upon a day fixed
by you, not less than thirty days from
the date ofthe notice and that all per
sons who were actual settlers in good
faith upon any of the restored lands, on
September 29, 1890, the date of the ap
proval of the forfeiture act, and who are
otherwise qualified, will have preference
rights of entry, to be exercised within
six months of such approval.
The forfeited and restored lands are
subject to disposal only under the home
stead law, as provided in the act of for
feiture.
In the over-lapping limits of the main
and branch lines, only the alternate odd
sections numbered 3, 7, 11, 15, etc., will
be restored, and the notice of restoration
must contain a copy of the list hereto
attached, of the lands in those sections
the company has sold, and which will be
excepted from the restoration. The list
also contains the lands surrendered by
the company in lieu of those sold as
aforesaid, and will be published as in
eluded in the restoration. , ;

Commissioner.
EEVIFW OP THE LOCAL MABKET.
There is not many changes to note in
our review of the market for the past
week.' The great anxiety felt about the
successful passage of the portage railroad
bill for the Cascades, has absorbed
everything else at the expense of all
kinds of traffic and as a result there has
not been much done in business lines.
Freight rates have been discussed
thoroughly ; also the condition in which
the producing classes are interested.
The high rates charged by the railroad
company on grain from the interior of
Eastern Oregon to the sea board and the
increased rates on ocean tonnage of
vessels to foreign markets has put a
different phase on the situation and now
as a result the greater part of the wheat
is going east by rail, instead of west to
the metropolis, thereby realizing more
for the grain laid down in Chicago, net,
than at Portland. The present freight
rate on wheat is V) cents per bushel,
and were the rates reduced to 7 cents
per bushel, our farmers would realize
59 to 60 cents instead of 56 or 57 cents.
An open river from this point to the sea
would remedy the evil as far as inland
transportation is concerned.
In the. present condition of the local
wheat market here, there are no changes
of importance. The European markets
are up and down just as often as cargoes
are re pored off the coast, and the quota
tions are correspondingly the same.
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are as fluctuating as formerly,
with no encouraging features to report
Chicago's May delivery quotation is
97; New York, 1.04.
Portland's market remains unchanged
with a firmer tone. Its quotation is
unchanged. Valley is quoted $1.25
1.26j; Eastern Oregon, $1.151.16J.
Dalles market has no change to report
since last week .56 for No. 1 ; .54 for
No. 2.
Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations with
an upward tendency. We quote, extra
clean $1.50 per cental and inferior $1.35
1.40 per cental.

Millstuffs The supply is quite suffi

Special and Exclusive Agents for
northwest, demanded big prices, think
ing that tney coma get almost anything
they asked. Ships have been chartered
here this season as high as 50 shillings
per ton. ims is an outrageous price.
"it is claimed that they can carry
wheat to Liverpool at a profit of 30 shil
lings per ton, but if they had been satis
fied with even 40 shillings ships would
have been taken readily and but little
wheat would have gone east, but owing
to the excessive prices asked lor charters
a lot of wheat has been sent to San
Francisco bv steamer and shinned there.
and the rest from the Inland Empire is
going east.
Mr. E. C. Michener, manager of the
Pacific Elevator Company, was seen by a
reporter in regard to this matter. He
said:
"We are shipping a great deal of wheat
east, it goes to Kansas City and is dis
tributed all over the north and south
This movement is the result of an ab
normal condition of things. Shipown
ers demand too high prices tor charters,
and there being a scarcity of wheat east,
it was more profitable to ship there.
The consequence is the railroads are kept
busy, and there is no wheat coming
here lor ships, and by may there will be
ships here begging for cargoes, and there
will be none for them. There is a scarcity
of wheat in Kansas, Nebraska and some
goes to Wisconsin. It goes south to
Texas, Tennesee and Alabama, in fact
all over the country except the eastern
and middle states. What wheat there
is here has been provided for, but there
will be more shipped here from the in
terior. If the shipowners had been
reasonable in their demands the wheat
crop would have been shipped from here.
They thought there was a big crop and
they couia get big prices lor charters,
but they found there is another way of
eettine rid of our wheat."
.being asked if this sort of thing would
occur again, ne replied :
"It is likely to occur at any time when
unreasonable prices are asked for char
ters. A great deal of wheat was shipped
east year before last. Last year there
was not so much shipped that way, but
it is liable to go that way whenever
will be done on Short Notice.

A Kote for Cattle Men.
The first cattle that were brought into
the American colonies were landed at the
James River Plantation, in Virginia, in
the year 1607. They came from the
West Indies and were descendants of cat
tle taken to those islands by Columbus
on his second voyage, in 1493. - In 1610
several cows were landed, and m 1611
about a hundred head more were brought
to the Plantation. This was the origin
of the cattle business of America. In
order to encourage the cattle industry to
the fullest possible extent an order was
passed forbidding the slaughter of any
animal of the kind under penalty of
death. Under restriction the number
of cattle increased to 30,000 in Vir
ginia alone by the end of the year 1639.
The first cattle brought to New Eng
land arrived at Plymouth in 1624.
They were imported from England by
Oov. Wiusiow. three heiters and a bull
made the party ; in color, the old record
says, they were black, black and white,
and brindle. In 1626 twelve cows were
sent to Cape Ann ; in 1629, thirty more.
in ltfcsu about iuu were imported for the
colony of Massachusetts Bay. During
the years last above named 103 cattle
had been sent from Texel, Holland, into
New York : so that by the year 1630 there
were a good many head of horned cattle
in the colonies, from lttfi to 1633 a
large number of cattle for those times
were brought into New Hampshire from
Denmark, these were large yellow
cattle, Taking all of there cattle together
they were the foundation from which all
the common native cattle of our country

THE WORLD'S FAIR
A New Feature Proposed by a French
Chicago, Feb. 9. One of the features
proposed for the world's fair, news of
which reached here today, is a scheme
for dropping a projectile-shaped car
from a thousand-foot tower into the
water, in order to give the occupants of
the car the sensation of falling a long
distance without dangerous consequences
in stopping too suddenly. The idea is
that of a Frenchman, Aristicle Begres,
of the Paris polytechnic school. The
details of the project are being worked
out by Charles Carren, an engineer at
Grenoble.
A Story of a Man That was Thoroughly
Happy.
There lived long ago a king who be
came very sick.
"I will srive half of my kingdom to
quotation, anybody who is able to give me back my

Then all the wise men of the country
met and consulted with each other how
they might be able to cure the kin?, but
they could not find a remedy.
une ot them, however, explained that
he thought it possible to restore the
kin? to health.
If only we can find a happy man." he
said, "we will take his shirt and put it
on the King, who then will regain his
vigor."
The king sent out -messengers, who
were instructed to find a happy man.
They traveled through the whole country,
but could not nnd the one they sought.
There was not a single man who was sat
isfied and happy.
One was rich, bnt sick : another
healthy, but poor ; a third one was both
rich and healthy, but complained of wife
as others did of their children. All of
them had unaccomplished wishes.
One evenine the kinz's son passed bv
a low cottage and heard somebody within
say :
Bless the Lord, now 1 have worked
myself tired, finished my meal and am
allowed to go to bed. What more can I
ask?"
The king's son listened to the words
with joy. Ordering the shirt to be
taken from the man, who was to be lib
erally rewarded, the messengers were
commanded to carry the shirt to the
kine.
These, as soon as possible, ran into the
cottage to the happy man and intended
to draw off his shirt. But he was so
poor that he did not have a shirt, Leo
