During the speech making that was
had Mr. Sutro presented president
Harrison with a handsomely Morrocoo

of the letter written by Sebastian
Viscayno from the bay of Monterey,

Mri. Dr. Tucker la Drowned In Mill
Creek.
The city was plunged into sadness this
morning when it was learned that the
estimable wife of Dr. Geo. F. Tucker had
met with an accident resulting in her
death. It seems that Dr. and Mrs.
Tucker last evening went up Mill Creek
on a fishing trip. About six miles from
the city they got out their tackles and
went at the sport. The doctor finally
told his wife that he was going up the
"REVIEW Of iEOOATUlMlf,

There are quite a number of strangers
on the streets who seem to be very much
interested in the city and the surround

. Mr. Frank R. Taylor has sold out the
city market to Messrs. Levi and Frank

place in good style.
Said .Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas:
"The alliance plow is strong enough to

The attendance at the Academy is
first-rate for the last term and the stu
dents are doing good work under Prof.
Ingalls and his corps of teachers. This
institution will graduate three young

. Reports come in from the country that
within the past week more or less rain
has- fallen and that all kinds of vegeta
tion and grain are growing finely and
t hat the outlook was never more encouag
ing for a very large yield of farm pro

Large numbers of California oranges
are imported into this city and state,
and a good many have the scale on them
that has proved so ruinous to the South
ern California orchards. If the insect
scale obtains a foothold here ' it will be
disastrous to Oregon fruit interests.
The reporter noticed today several
wagons loading and unloading at the
- Wasco warehouse. Mr. Schmidt in
formed him that he purchased one
round lot of 3000 bushels of wheat pay
ing 72 cents per bushel, and that it is
being delivered at the warehouse daily.
George Herbert and . family left this
city Tuesday for the brisk little city of
Hood Kiver. Mr. Herbert has leased
the leading hotel there for a period of
two years. . His popularity means suc
ccbd and we most cordially extend to him
our benediction and assure him and his,
that The Dalles will miss their genial
presence.
We saw today at the Moody warehouse
an elegant finished wagon for' the "S.
B. ".medicine company of Dufnr, anyone
that sees it will be convinced that the
1 "S. B. company" "get there." We im
agine Mr. Brigham knew what he was
about when he got up the design and
had it put up, for its arrangements and
finish are unexcelled.
We are pained to learn that Mrs. James
Force, one of the few surviving 1842
pioneers, is lying very low at her
daughters, Mrs. D. W. Edwards, in this
ico. It is addressed to the court of
Spain, and states that he (Viscayno)
had taken possession of this country for
his majesty. We now know that the
opinion expressed about California, at
this early date, was quite correct, for he
says : "The land is thickly peopled by
Indians, is very fertile, and its climate
and the quality of its soil resembles Cas-
loading j tile, and any seed sown there will give
Wasco warehouse I'1" ie original oitius letter i louna
in hunting through the archives of the
DeLos Indians at Seville, Spain. At the
j date of this letter queen Elizalieth was
still on the throne of England, Ixhiis
Quatorze, of France, was not lrn yet,
and the Pilgrim Fathers had not yet
landed on Pilgrim rock. Little did Sebas
tian Viscayno dream that within three
centuries this far distant land would be
counted as one of the best, if not the
best portion of the domain of a nation,
the most enlightened, progressive and
powerful on the face of the globe. In
connection with the history of California,
it is a curious fact that the early navi
gators Sir Francis Drake, Cabrillo and
others for two centuries sailed by the
bay of San Francisco without discover
ing it. It was left to an overland expe
dition, undertaken in the year 17t9 by
the Franciscan fathers from San Diego,
to discover the bay of San Francisco,
which they at first supposed to be an in
land lake. I he entrance to the hay
from the ocean, or the Golden Gate, was
not discovered until five vears later,
December 4, 1774, by another expedition,
sent out from Monterey by Jnniiero
Serra, the founder of all the missions of
California. Theodore Hittell, the his
torian, speaks of this event as follows:
'They arrived December 4, 1774, at Point
Lobos, where they supposed themselves
the first Christian visitors. They erected
a cross upon the summit of the hill look
ing down upon the jagged points of the
seal rocks on the one side, and on the
deep precipices of the entrance into the
bav on the other.' Mr. President, we
are glad they found the Golden Gate for
otherwise none of us would be here to-
dav. We are also glad that you will
todav behold it in all its natural gran
deur, perfectly preserved as Junipero's
soldiers saw it; for no modern cannon
nor extensive earthworks have been per
mitted to mar its pristine beautv. Mr,
President, we all thank you for having
come to see our beautiful land, ana per
mit me especially to thank vou for the
honor of your visit to Sutro heights,
Cl'TTIXU WOOL RATES.
The Union Pacific Said to Have a Cinch.
East Oregonian.
The Union Pacific is accused of mak
ing a sensational cut in wool rates. Just
how deep the cut in has not yet been
learned. Comtitors have learned of
one consignment which could not have
taken a higher rate than 75 cents a hun
dred from the Missouri river to Boston,
and another taking the same rate to
Philadelphia.
In any event the Union Pacific is said
to have a cinch on the wool business, its
competitors being unable to secure a
pound at anv where near the tariff rate
of $1.20 from the Missouri river to Bos
ton. The wool traffic from Colorado,
Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska is an
immense one and the Union Pacific
competitors will be made, if necessary.
to secure a share of the business.
Prepare for the President.
Would it not be a good plan for the
board of trade to make some arrange
ment for the business houses to close at
least a part of the forenoon of the day
that President Harrison and party are to
be here. The band boys want to come
out and as many of them are business
men or clerks they will need some time
to get into their uniforms and get ready
for the reception. A move should be
made soon. The children of the public
school should all be marched down and
gi en a chance to see a real live presi
dent. There will be no time for long
speeches but fitting exercises should at
least be had. If the business houses
could be closed from 10 until 1 o'clock,
everybody could be on hand to take part.
Some months ago the Oregonian inad
vertently, or in a joke, to say the least,
gave Governor fennoyer a political
prominence, which decidedly spoiled his
excellency in this, that he presumed on
his greatness, which was thrust upon
him unawares, and that Kaiser William
warnot compared to him in the role of
autocrats. The result is his remark
that President Harrison in etiquette,
should call at his executive mansion
and pay hisrespects," has given Oregon
another Cronin advertisement and the
governor uncomplimentary illustrations
and squibs in eastern papers, giving him
an unenviable position through his own
indiscretion. Certainlv the saving that
'uneasy is the head that wears the
crown, is quite verified in this instance.
It is to be regretted that Oregon through
such sources and mossbackism, has the
reputation of being the least among the
many. -
alone with the body with no one to help
him get her home. As soon as he real
ized that his wife was dead he rushed to
a farmer's house about a half mile away
and procuring a team brought her to the
city.
ihe theory is that -Mrs. .tucker was
' standing on a rock and the rapidly run
ning water caused her to become dizzy
and she fell forward and striking a
rock was rendered unconscious and
drowned before her husband reached
her. There is a small mark over the
left eye and quite a considerable contus
sion which must have resulted from the
fall.
Mrs. Tucker was about 31 years of age.
She was the daughter of Rev. Carpus
S perry of the Baptist church of Browns
ville in this state. She leaves two child
ren, Carl and Nellie, aged respectively
about 12 and 10 years of age. With her
husband and family she came to The
Dalles a little over two years ago, and
has made very many friends here by her
lovely christian character and sweet life.
Her body will be taken to Brownsville
by this evening's train, where she will
be buried.
Dr. Tucker has the sympathy of the
entire community in his deep bereave
ment. Mrs. Dr. Tucker leaves a sister at
Hillsboro, Mrs. Dr. J. E. Adkins.' Be
sides the lady named she has sisters as
follows: Mrs. Elias Hill, Brownsville;
Mrs. Dr. W. F. Skiff, Portland; Mrs. E.
S. Warren, Oregon City; and brother,
Mr. William O. Sperry of Brownsville.
She' was born at Healdsburgh, California
and was married to the doctor October
20, 1879. It proved a happy marriage
for all concerned, and their lives grew J
brighter and brighter as the years went j
by. She was a t rue christian, a member
of the Baptist church here, and
much beloved-bv all who knew her.

The farmers on Ochoco are about
through their spring seeding. The fall
grain on the ranches iooks healthy, and
shows no indications of having been in

The increase in the price of coffee fully
offsets the temporary decrease in the
price of sugar. We say temporary de
crease, because it mav be ancentea as a
foregone conclusion that the article will
be cornered riy capital before the roses
are blown. Indications pointing in that
direction are already observable. Right
now is the time to buy cheap sugar.

.Business in mercantile lines has an
improved appearance, and a better feel
ing exists among our merchants. Fresh
supplies "of goods have replenished the
depleted stocks, and more activity is
n oticed with dealers, than a week ago.
Sugars are firm and are held at steady
prices, with an anticipated advance in
the lower markets. Meats, that is to
say smoked, are firm and an advance is
predicted. We append the following
from Wednesday's Oregonian.
The local market is very firm, espec
ially on provisions. Canned and smok
meats are high and firm, and will con
tinue to advance. There is no change
in the price of fresh meats, but that
there will soon be an upward tendency
is evidenced, by the rapidly diminishing
supply. When prices begin to advance,
which will be before the end of the week,
thev will necessarily continue on the
rise until the 1st of June, when grass
fed 'ieef can be brought in off the ranges.
Eggs are decidedly weaker. The rul
ing price yesterday still seemed to be 17c
though many dealers were selling for
I(ic. The large amount of eggs shipped
from the East to the Sound by reason
of discrimination in railroad rates, has
partially shut out the Oregon article,
and shippers have to depend upon the
home markets.
There is a fresh movement of wheat
in the market. Farmers who have held
on to their grain are realizing better
prices than those that sold last season.
The Wasco, warehouse is buying, and
75 cents per bushel is being paid. The
Diamond Mills are in the field buying
all they can get at the price above nam
ed. There are strong indications for
better prices for 1891 wheat, owing to
various causes which are telling on the
markets at home and abroad The Ore
gonian furnishes the following in rela
tion to wheat and the outloook.
The prospect of a foreign wheat short
age has caused a sharp advance in cer
eals this month. May wheat rose nearly
8 cents, and corn nearly 5 cents a bushel,
in both New York and Chicago. This
rapid advance recalls September, 1869,
when failing crops abroad forced up the
price of American grain. Since 1882,
when prices fell, they have remained
low, and the European supply from
other countries has increased relative to
our own. In quantity, our exports of
cereals have been one-half to two-thirds
what thev were in the years 1879-80
and the ruling price has been two-thirds
what it was then. The weather has
been favorable in our winter wheat belt
for the maturity of the crop, and a large
acreage of serine wheat has been sown
under the stimulus of high prices. Our
domestic wheat crop promises to be
large. There are very general and unan
imous reports of crop failures in France,
Germany and England, and an active
and strong demand from abroad for
wheat for earl v delivery. If this situa
tion is maintained, we shall have a large
wheat surplus for sale abroad at high
prices, which means prosperity to all
classes of trade.
Wool has begun to move, and already
was I several lots have been received at the
warehouse, while there is a prospective
large clip, and a very fine staple. Our
buyers seem to be' quite dissappointed
in the appearance of that already deliv-
i ered. Owing to absence of rain on the
grazing districts, the f eeces have gather
ed an unusual amount of dust and dirt,
which they say renders it less marketa
ble and consequently prices will rule
C. i lower accordingly. This will be a dis-
sappointment to our sheep men and the
I only remedy for this misfortune is the
! establishment of cleansing or scouring
work in this city which would be able to
put the wool on the market clean, and
thus save to the owner ou per cent, or
save paying freight on at least 2,000,000
pounds of dirt by so doing.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
Trunks of Tourists on the Northern Pa
cific Broken Open and Ransacked.
Minneapolis, Minn., April 27. A
daring robbery on the Northern Pacific
through passenger train, which arrived
here from Portland last Thursday night,
came to light today. The robbery was
kept a secret , but the facts, nevertheless,
came to the surface today at the West
hotel where the Raymond excursion is
stopping. There were twenty-six per
sons in the Raymond excursion party,
which left Tacoma last Sunday night.
Stopping off at Spokane for one day,
their baggage was checked through. St.
Paul was reached Thursday night and
Friday was spent in that citv. During
tne aay one or two trunks of the party
were opened, borne small losses were
discovered but were not' regarded as ser
ious. Saturday the excursionists came
to Minneapolis. Here all the trunks
were opened and notes compared. It
was found that nearly every trunk had
been ransacked by thieves. The North
ern Pacific officials were at once com
municated with, and W. H. Lion, who
is in charge of the party, together with
general passenger agent Fee, at once set
to work to run down the thieves. In
one of the first trunks opened, the tourist
owning the trunk discovered a sheet of
paper bearing the railway company's
print, on wnich was written some in
structions. The thieves carelessly al
lowed the slip of paper to drop into the
trunk while rifling it. There was evi
dently more than one connected with
the robberies, so the railway people
think, for one man could not have gone
through all the trunks. The loss by the
robbery will be several thousands of
dollars. Everything from California
wines up to diamonds, clothes and iew-
elry, was abstracted. Some of the party
are from eastern cities.

IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
Governor Pennoyer Make a Fair State
ment.
Portland, April 27. Governor Pen
noyer today handed the Associated
Press the following :
"The interviews relative to my recep
tion of President Harrison in Oregon, as
published in the press reports, was an
imperfect statement of a private conver
sation with a member and an ex-member
of the Oregon legislature, and was
not intended for publication. While I
insist with all deference to the opinion
of others, that my proper place to re
ceive the president is at the state capi
tol, and not at the state line, where he
will be met by a legislative committee.
yet I concede that if I had authorized
tne interview as published, l would be
liable to censure, which under the true
state of facts is unmerited."
