FRIDAY, APRIL 10. 3891 LOCAL AND 1'IBSOKiL. . C. H. Southern, of Boyd, was in town ; Tuesday. Hon. E. O. McCoy was in the city Monday. . , Portland wants "an open river to the ea" to carrv off the mirolua water, Mrs. C. H. Ilaynes of Hood River was in the city Monday and returned Tuesday morning. . A large amount ot treignt tor the in- teror is constantly arriving at the Wasco Warehouse. - Boyd Ashbv and m. Hinkle, of Antelope, brought in Tuesday a car load of horses which thev shipped this morning to Portland. Key. A.. Horn of the Lutheran church of this city, spent last Sunday at Hood River, at which place he held verv in teresting services to a large attendance. t This office has still a limited supply of - sugar beet seed from the Oregon Agri cultural Experiment station at Corvallis which it will distribute gratis as long as it lasts to all who may call. Mr. Abel Erskin of Erskinville, Sher man county was in the city Tuesday. He gives goo J reports of his section, and says Sherman countv will astoniuh themsel- Y ves on the wheat prediction for 1891 During the past three days there were shipped from the stock yards eight car loads of cattle, one of hogs and two of sheep. The sheep were from this county. The hogs and cattle were for ttaker City. Stephen KLtiier of Tygh Valley has sold out his interests there and will leave Thursday - for Portland, where he and his young wife intend to make their future home. The Chbosici.k wishes them many happy days. The funeral of the late C. R. Patterson took place today from the undertaking rooms of Mr. Michell. Rev. Mr. Brown , officiated. He was interred in the city - grave-yard and the funeral was under the auspices of his railroad friends. Winans Brothers are making exten sive preparations for the fishing season on the other side the river. They will pot in four fish wheels and are now using a steam drill in blasting out the rocks for putting the wheel in place. A Georgia man has been found who has never been to church, has never rid den on a train nor never been in a city. But for one fact he would make a splen did juryman for a murder trial in Ore gon. He sometimes reads a newspaper. .'. Sheriff Fell, of Malhuer county, in ' making a tour to the southern part of lis county, traveled in three states and - five couniies to get to the place he desir ed to reach. The reason of this was that that section of that is destitute of roads and bridges. At the election held in Goldendale . Monday the license ticket won by six majority. John Snover was elected mayor, and Ike Darland, James Leverett, Chas. Marshall, Chas. Morris and Fay Fenton, councilinen. The Goldendale ' people won't have to take it in back alleys any more. It is, however a blue election for the Goldendale stage. The ' demijohn business will soon end. A. J. Wall of Eight Mile is going to make a . sensation at the next district fair that will undoubtedly do much' to advertise both him and it. Wall has a Polled Angus bull calf about a year old, . that he offers to enter in a "go a as you please" half mile race for $500 a side. The oner is open to any bull calf in Eastern Oregon. - O. W. Elkins of Prineville left that city on Monday evening last and made the trip to this city, 12o miles, arriving at 4 p. m. yesterday. He immediately telegraphed to Portland to ex-sheriff Coombs, of the illness of that gentle man's mother, and Mr. Coombs arrived in The Dalles last night and left for his home this morning. . The verdict of the jury in the inquest over the remains of the man Patterson was that the deceased came to his death ' Jiy an overdose of morphine, adminis tered by his own hand. It appears he must have taken about 12 grains, where as to j a grain is a snnrcient dose. Whether he intended his own life or not nobody knows. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shearer have just returned from Huntington bringing Mrs. . Monroe Grimes with them in hope that the change to a somewhat warmer climate on the ; Deschutes river may prove helpful towards her restoration to health. Mrs. Grimes is still quite wet.k ut is gradually improving. Mr. Shear r reports that Mr. L. Tirril is still living and that the doctor has hopes of his recovery,' but he has been ill now since last November and is very low and weak, and a very slight relapse might carry him off tic any time. . F. L. Boynton of Kingsley brought up last night from Glenco, Washington county a stallion that competent judges of horses flesh pronounce it to be one of the finest, if not the very finest specimen of draught stock ever brought into East ern Oregon. He is Clyde and English draught and weighed about a week ago 2020 lbs. In color, he is dappled bay, stands IS hands high and was sired by the centennial prize winner Major Braces "Gleneld." He will make the season around the neighborhood of Kingsley. Mr. Boynton got him of A. Tongue, of Glencoe. , - A man named Patteson, about 35 yean old, who was formerly in the em ploy of the company as engineer and brakeman, was found Monday after noon lying in a stupified state among the hay bales in the Saltmarshe warehouse. The marshal was notified and taking him in charge the man was conveyed to the city jail where he was placed in a cell. Both the marshal and the prisoners in the jail supposed he was drunk and paid no attention to him till this morn- ' ing when he was found to be dead. A partly empty bottle of morphine was found on the deceased, which at the coroner's inquest held this afternoon, was proved to have been bought for Patteson by John J. Campbell of this jAty. - The inquest is in progress as we ;go ito press, but there can be no doubt i hat .death resulted from the effects of the morphine. - It is said the man had een suffering lately from neuralgia and way have taken the drug to deaden the pain. It is also said he has a wife and family living sear Ysqnina. i Mr. C. C. Bunnell, of Lewis ton, Idaho, brother of A. Bunnell of this city, arrived here this morning in consequence of the illness of Mrs. Bunnell. ' The Aitonan savs there is only one newspaper man in the state peniten tiary. How many ought to be there the paper does not say. - The sheep raising industry never had a brighter outlook in this country than at present. There were no losses dnring the winter, the clip this spring will be large and of tine quality, and the prices of both wool and mutton have an up ward tendency. A private letter from Kingsley to this office says : "They are all busy in" the fields here and either plowing or sawing. The nights are unusually cold and the grass is not growing. I am afraid we are going to have a backward spring. The ground is drying out very fast." Complaints are made at this office that persons who have trimmed or cut down their fruit trees because of their being infested with ' the fruit pest, very fre quently have the infested branches sent down to the river bank, to lie in the sun and breed more pests. W hy not, it is asked, burn them at once, and get rid of both the pest and the branches? Farming is encroaching .on the stock ranges throughout Wyoming, the Dako tas, Montana, Texas and in fact nearly everywhere, therefore the prices which meats will command in the future must be higher than they have been in past years. V ith this state of anairs existing. now is certainly a good time to engage in stock raising, and those who go into cattle and sheep raising now must derive profits from the business in the future. Ochoco Kevxew. The annual meeting of the Kellapie Lawn Tennis Club, was held last even- ' it f j - e i r t -r n ii ing at me resilience ui iur. j. ji. raner- raged justice. . Your streets are crowded with applicants to enter the forfeited lands according to the provisions of the forfeiture act which every school-boy of the land has read and understands. Among the provisions of said- act as every intelligent man knows is one giv ing the eligible applicant the right to purchase at $1.25 per acre not more than 320 acres, and make payment any time within two years from the passage of said act. Many have come from a dis tance, intending to enter their lands under this provision, not having brought the purchase money with them, as the law does not aek it and are very much surprised, on presenting their purchase applications, at having them refused on the grounds of not being accompanied by the cash. I assume that this is a des potic ruling of Captain Lewis, without a shadow of au excuse. All the instruc tions they have had on which they could possibly base their refusal of these applications are contained in a letter to the La Grande office which states "The presentation of a notice of intention to purchase under said section will not in sure the land from disposal." It certainly does not require more than a bushel of brains to enable any man to see that this has no bearing in the case whatever, and I challenge Capt. upward tendency and the Diamond mill will advance its price in a few days. The warehouses are almost bare of wheat and none offering for sale. Beef cattle are down a notch in price, while Al mutton is very scarce and up in price, and will find quick sale at the quotations. Veal is plentiful in market. The vegetable market is very well sup plied. Weed onions and lettuce and some raddishes are brought in. The grain market is inactive, a slight advance is noted in this market, but abroad, there is a steadiness and a firmer tone. Foreign markets are more firm than for some time, better prices are ex pected for the crop of 1891. Chicago quotations for May delivery is 1.032s. New York $1.13). San Francisco quotations is $1.55? per cental for the season. Portland's quotations is unchanged, though has a firmer tone. Quote, valley $1.40; Eastern Oregon, $1.35. The Dalles quotes 65 for No. 1, and 62i for No. 2. Oats The oat market is very quiet and offerings limited at quotations with an upward tendency. We quote, extra clean $1.60 per cental and inferior $1.45 per cental. Babley There is nothing doing in barley. Three hundred bushels of good seed barley was sold during the week at Lewis to produce any instructions which $1.10 per 100 lb. Quote prime brewing any reasonable individual can construe as a justification of his refusal. And further, if in his mental bewilderment he imagines he has a right to refuse these applications, he certainly does know he has no right to refuse to officially reject them, for the 66th rule of the Rules of Practice(a copy of which every land of fice should have)specifles2 that the "reg ister and receiver shall indorse upon son. The omcers elected tor the ensuing every rejected application tne date and vear are Messrs. N. C. Wilson, President ; the reason for rejection and note upon I. N. Campbell' Vice President ; L. D. Ainsworth, Secretary and Treasurer. The club court is in excellent condition, and the members are anticipating a very pleasant season. Isaac Joles has discovered and located, a few miles west of this citv and near the mouth of Chenoweth creek, a ledge of quarts that according to the opinion of old miners who have seen samples of the rock, gives evidence of very great richness in silver bearing qualities. Mr. Joles, today forwarded samples of the rock to Denver, Colorado to have it tested and assayed. We shall be pleased to find that West Dalles has added a sil ver mine to its other attractions. Alhany, in L.inn county, is nearly as far from Portland as is The Dalles, but wheat is worth in Albany 72 cents while in The Dalles it brings only 62l. cents. The difference of 7Ji cents will not i frequently represent all the surplus profit left to the farmer after all ex penses are paid, and is accounted for by the fact that Albany has what The Dalles has not, "an open river to the How Oregon Was Named. . At a banquet given in Portland the other night Barney Goldsmith said that the name Oregon was derived from an Irishman named O' Regan,' who first discovered this country and named it after himself. He said he first learned this fact from Geo. Knaggs, of The Dalles "a most truthful man who settled at The Dalles about the year 1530, who lives there yet, hale and hearty and as truth ful as ever," and who informed Mr. Goldsmith that he was a passenger in the ship commanded by Sir Francis Drake in the early part of 1579. Mr. Goldsmith further testifies that Knnggs came out to this country to hunt and fish and that while the early settlers were sometimes given tojexaggeration . Knaggs was not one of that kind, and is not liable to have made a mistake. All this may be new to the people of Portland but it is very old up this way. Once More to the Front. Thb Dalles, Or., April 7, 1891. The State Insurance company, of Salem, Oregon has been called upon to make a settlement of a loss which oc curred to my dwelling and contents on March 18th, the same being insured with them. Thev were notified of the loss and responded promptly by sending tneir special agent and adjuster who gave the matter nis attention, loday x am in receipt of their order for $545, which is the full amount of mv claim against the company and 1 wish to say that am peneeuv satisfied in the manner in which they treated me in the settlement of this loss.

But he has even assumed the authority to refuse to reject these ap plications which would place them on tile for thirty days with privilege of ap peal, consequently many parties are held here away from important work, on heavy expenses and puzzled to know what course to pursue. I claim this is an inexcusable and un just imposition on the right of settlers and the facts should be known to the public I will say further that Col. Lang, act ing in the absence of Capt. Lewis who is sick, has at all times shown a willingness to act in harmony with the original rul ings and in justice to the applicants, but j strict orders from Mr. Lewis prevents him from so doing. J. A. Soesbe. Another Version. Engineer H. Farmer, switchman M. G. Root and C. W. Hudson, yardmaster, have given us a version of - the accident that occured to Jim Blakney's team yes terday which places the matter in a very different light. They assure us that the engine was stopped three cars lengths from the team, and that engin eer Farmer waited, before moving, till he received a signal from the driver of the team indicating that he might back up. After Mr. Farmer started . the en gine he noticed that the team began to back again, when he promptly stopped the engine the second time, and waited until tne team and wagon hacked over the bluff; when the engineer, switch man and yardmaster went and helped to get them out. The truth is, as they as sure us, the driver, when the horses first began to back a little, . jumped out of the wagon but the lines got around the front stakes in such a way that the more the driver pulled the more the horses backed, because the driver was unconsciously pulling them back until they backed over the bluff. The Choni- cle, anxious to be perfectly fair, has giv en both sides of the story and leaves the readers to judge whether the trainmen were to blame or not. The Port ire Right of Way. The dispatches inform us that senator Dolph is tracing the history of the ap plication for the right of way over the government . land at the Cascades. Major Handbury had recommended that the government construct the road, pro vided tbe state would agree to transport over the road materials for the govern ment works. With the usual delay and red tape nothing has been done further than that one official thinks it would be all right, andi another thinks otherwise, and the boss of the red tape outfit and high chief cockalorum of the circumlocu tion office has gone fishing or something. The chief of engineers had recommended that the work be ordered done by the government but the assistant secretary of war in the absence of the secretary referred the matter to the judge advocate though the secretary had no authority, so the matter is now referred to the at torney general, or rather the assistant attorney general. Senator Dolph hopes for a favorable result. Meanwhile the circumlocution office, is drawing its sal ary, while the Columbia river is slowly rising every day. $1.051.10, feed $1.00ca 1.05 per cental, sacked.

Sen ator Dolph said today - that unless something of importance transpired to prevent it, the president would leave Washington for the Pacific coast the 14th inst., that he would like to be in Oregon when the president was there, bnt his arrangements were such that he could not be there ; that he had an engage' ment of long standing to attend a ban quet to be given at Delmonico's in New Y ork by the Protective Tariff League on the 29th of April ; that the senate com mittee "on our relations with Canada." of which he is a member, and arranged to take testimony at Detroit, beginning the 30th inst., and after that to take testimony at Buffalo ; that so soon after the committee had finished its work as he could make the necessary arrange ments, he would start for Oregon with his family. The senator also has several cases in the supreme court. Senator Dolph said that he had spent the day mostly in tracing the history of the application of the state portage rail road over the land of the United States at the cascades of the Columbia, and for the privilege of using the government road there. Major Handbury, - the en gineer in charge, had recommended to the chief of engineers that he be author ized to construct upon the government reservation out of the money appropria ted tor the construction ot the canal and locks a railroad to connect with a road to be built by the state on either side and to be used in connection with the state roud for commercial purposes, pro vided the state would transport over the road materials for the government work. The chief of engineers had strongly rec ommended to the secretary that Major Handbury thould be authorized to do this, but in the absence of the secretary the assistant secretary of war had re ferred the matter to the judge advocate' general for his opinion. He had held that the secretary had no authority to authorize the expenditure for the pur pose, and that the state must build the road and should be required to make application to the secretary for the priv ileges desired, and furnish a description of the right of way that the secretary might make the necessary regulations. The matter has now been referred to the attorney-general and is in the hands of rj rtuTu: x . . imgv ruuiipu, aesiumt utiuriiey-gvii- eral. Senator Dolph presented the matter fully to Judge Phillips and the attorney-general on behalf of the state, and believes that the opinion of the judge advocate-general will be overruled, and it would be held that the secretary had authority to authorize Major Hand bury to proceed and construct the road. The decision is expected soon. The Called Convention at Portland Take Steps to Form a Large Incorpora tionAction to be had at Once. DEPARTMENT MEETING. The O. A. K.
