the spring rise of the Columbia has
reached a point that will make the fish

Thk Beet Sugah Industry. There
are no changes in the line of staple gro
ceries, locally speaking. Sugar, to out
side points, has declined somewhat, but
the market here is not affected. Port
land dealers are growing accustomed to
the present state of affair9 and look for
no change, as far as the Western sugar
refinery is concerned. The matter of a
local refinery is still in the hazy distance
but will probably be consummated in
time. The Chamber of Commerce has
been in communication with E. H. Dyer
& Co., who are putting up a 350-ton beet
sugar mill at Lehi, Utah, with reference
to es ablishing a similar establishment
here, but the matter has not vet come
to issue. Dyer has a contract to put up
a 350-ton refinery at Marshalltown, la.,
canal purposes.

The appeal of the Italian government
to the other European governments to

It is believed that Germany will refuse

Undoubtedly there is some violation
of the fishing laws judging from the
numerous trout brought into the city

fish traps on the creek. If so, they
should be distroyed.

of oppression of the people of this section
of the country has been struck and the
future of The Dalles-and its tributaries
is bright.
The postmaster of The Dalles has
heretofore been lenient with delinquent
boxholders, but as the rent for all boxes
rented must be accounted for by the P.
M., on the tenth day of each quarter, all
boxes will be declared vacant if the rent
is not paid promptly hereafter.

Death of a Pioneer.
Mrs. Lucretia Force, was born Novem
ber 29, 1816, in the state of New York,
and died in The Dalles on May 11, 1891,
at the residence of Mrs. D. W, Edwards.
She was married to -James Vanderbilt
Force in Michigan, March 6, 1838.
With her husband and young child, in
cempany with a younger brother of her
husband, John Forte, now deceased, and
her brother, Aaron- Townea, also de
ceased, started across the plains to Ore
gon in the spring of 1842. After travel
ing a far as Green river with wagon and
team they abandoned their wagons and
came the rest of their journey on horse
back, reaching Salem on October 7th of
the dame year. After living in and near
Salem until 1863, she came to Wasco
county, where she has made her home
ever since. She was a kind and affec
tionate mother, and ber memory will
ever remain dear to the sorrowing and
bereaved family. Those who feel most
keenly this sad bereavement are : Mr.'
C. O. Force, of Crook. county ; Mrs. A. F.
Adams, wife of Rev. J. A. Adams of East
Portland, and their three grown daught
ers, Mary L., Ida A. and Maggie E.
Adams ; and Mrs. M. L. Edwards, wife
of Mr. D. W. Edwards, of The Dalles,
and their young son Walter.

Gradually the cultivation of the beet
is becoming of primary importance on
the coast. The Western Beet Sugar Co.,
founded and managed by Claus Spreckels
and his sons, will, at their Watsonville
sugarie, begin the season's campaign on
September 15. The capacity of the es
tablishment is 350 tons per day. They
propose to use 30,000 tons of beets, which
will approximately yield 3000 tons of
sugar. The Alameda Beet Sugar company
will have a capacity of 250 tons per day.
They will draw their supplies from 1000
acres planted in beets, but they want
the products of 2000 acres. The product
will be approximately fifteen to twenty
ton 8 of beets, and from them one and a
half to two tons per acre in sugar. This
will give, at the lowest computation,
loOO tons of sugar.
The produce market is of a better
tone. Good potatoes are a little stiffer
in price and are not quite as plentiful,
while inferior are in abundance
at a decline. Garden vegetables
are rather abundant and our
markets are well supplied at nominal
prices. Home strawberries are in mar
ket at .25 to 30 cents per box. Good
ranch butter is freely offered at quota
tions, a poor quality only being 35 to 40
cents per rol 1. Eggs are less plentiful and
have advanced. Early spring chickens are
in good demand. A good inquiry is had
for chicks large enough for bro'l at fair
prices.
The Dalles wheat market is steady at
80 cents per bushel with a lower future.
Oats The oat market is in good sup
ply with more frequent offerings at quot
ations. We quote, extra clean $1.50 per
cental and inferior $1.35 per cental.
Barley There is no offering of
barley, as there seems to be a scarcity.
Quote $1.10 per cental sacked.
Floue Best brands $4.25$4.75 per
barrel ; extra brands $5.75$6.2o.
Millstcffs The supply is in excess
of demand. We quote bran and shorts
$17.00 per ton. Shorts and middlings
$20.00$22.50 per ton.
Hay Timothy hay is in good supply
at quotations $17.Q018.00. Wheat hay
is very scarce and is in good demand at
an advance. Quote, $14.00 per ton.
Potatoes Good potatoes are in better
demand and are rather short of supply

most important public works on the
continent. His escort would take him
out of the cars to see Mnltanomah Falls
and Taffe's fish wheels at Celilo but
there was no time to see the Locks.
Can it be possible that the reason for
this lay in the fact that the officials at
the Locks have commenced to fill the
excavation up again. A gentleman who
was down there yesterday says they have
built a tram-way reaching out across the
canal, and are hauling loose stones and
gravel on train cars and dumping the
stuff into the canal. They have it filled
up nearly the whole way across, near
where the middle gate is to be. What
their intention is no one seems to know
unless it is to spend the money so as to
retard the work. Loose gravel and rocks
are not fit material to make a dam, even
if a dam were wanted. We presume it
is another kind of a dam altogether they
are after. "

STOCK OF
Colombia Fish-wheel.
Portland Evening Telegram.
A Dalles paper states that there are
sixteen or eighteen fish-wheels between
that city and Celilo, all waiting for higher
water and the expected run of salmon.
One wheel last year caught as much as
three tons of fish in the space of twenty
minutes. Twenty tons a day is no un
common record for one wheel, and as
high as fifty tons a day have been caught.
These are of course exceptional runs, but
the business with several, if not all, these
wheels is a big one. The price obtained
for these fish, while small in the abstract,
is, to some of the wheelmen, very large
in the aggregate.
This business is certainly one for
proper consideration and control by law.
The governor has taken the position that
this species of fishing should be prohib
ited altogether ; and if, as is now gen
erally believed, these salmon bound up
stream contribute to the next year's
supply, it certainly should be regulated,
it not altogether restricted.
These fish go to spawning grounds far
up the river, and, if allowed to do so,
would contribute incalculable numbers
for future seasons : but they are thus
caught and indiscriminately destroyed to
serve the selfish greed of a few fish-wheel
men, who are yearly diminishing the
supply, and hastening the time when the
Columbia will be devoid and destitute of
a great source of wealth for the state and
for the northwest.
The fish-wheel lobby have been able to
manipulate legislation in the past, so far
as it affected their share of the business ;
but it should not be permitted to do so
any longer. The interests of the state
and of the northwest should be of para
mount interest to those of a dozen or
twenty men who have taken advantageof
nature to gain a fortune, and plunder
not only the present but future genera
tions. " . "
"The next legislature should banish the
fish-wheels of the Columbia.

CATCH THE DESERTERS.
Walla
Soldiers Supposed to be the
Walla Lynchers Escape.
Colonel Compton of the 4th cavalry
stationed at Walla Walla has tele
graphed to this city that four of the men
supposed to have been implicated in the
lynching scrape have deserted. The
following telegrams were received in this
city yesterday, and are self explanatory :
Walla Walla, Wn., May 11, 1891.
To Sheriff or City Marshal or Constable
or Postmaster, The Dalles, Or. :
Private Joseph Reissman, troop C,

Such la Believed to be the Charleston's
Mission.
Sax Fbancisco, May 10. From an
authoritative source, says the Examiner,
it is learned that the Charleston's course
will lay south, and that instructions
from Washington contained au injunc
tion to keep a sharp lookout for the Itata.
The hope of overtaking the runaway
rebel craft is not entirely abandoned, as
the Itata did not have so much of a start
as was supposed yesterday. Information
from the Mexican and Southern Califor
nia coast shows that the itata did not
start for home immediately on leaving
San Diego, but lingered outside nntil
the Robert and Minnie could get out and
transfer her heavy cargo of rifles and
cartridges. I he transfer was not com
pleted until late criday afternoon, so
that the Itata's is cut down to thirty
six hours, and about 500 miles distance
If the Charleston does not pick her up.
her orders are to keep on nntil Admiral
Brown is encountered in Chilian waters.
These orders have a business ring that
promises active service for the American
fleet, especially the Charleston, as the
Itata is bound to loose a day or more at
Cape San Lucas, transferring the coal to
iismeraida, sent by the rebels to convoy
the steamer and her stores to the starv
ving base of operations. Should this be
the meeting point a fight is the most
probable thing on the card. The rebels
are desperate. They have no authority
to answer to. and unless the Esmeralda i
crew proves to be composed of rank cow
ards, the Charleston s attempt to seize
the Itata will be followed by some warm
work. The American vessel has the
better of it in speed, men, coal and pro
visions and navigating talent, but the
Esmeralda has guns of greater caliber,
and only slightly less modern than the
Charleston.
New Phase of the Bljrthe Case.
San Fbancisco. May 11. James Pye
writes from London to Judge Coffey that
he is able to produce the father of i lor
ence Blythe, whom he claims is not the
daughter of the dead millionaire. One
of the attornevs for the Blvthe company
a corporation composed of the Liverpool
claimants, filed an affidavit today in sup
port of a motion for a new trial. It declares
that many of the Williams' exhibits in
troduced during the trial were forgeries.
The Columbia river is the natural
channel of the commerce of the great re
gion drained by it. Even railroads are
beholden to the river for the avenues it
has opened for them through the moun
tains. Cheaper rates for much of the
freight of the country can be had by the
river than by any line of railway, now or
hereafter. The country should avail it
self of this advantage, and the time has
come for such expectations of the future.

SUMMONS.
for
Rumored Railroad Bttlldlns;.
A rumor in Pendleton has it that a
railroad is projected from the Fossil coal
mines to Arlington to connect with the
main line and the Heppner branch of
the Union Pacific, and also from Hepp
ner to the Butter Creek coal mines,
thence to Camas prairie and to the
Greenhorn mining section. Whether
there is anything "in it," remains for
the future to prove. East Oregonian.
The Dalles Chbonicle is desirous of
knowing why the work on the Cascades
portage railway is not begun. The in
quiry is natural and timely. If we can
not nave tne road from l he Danes to ue
lilo, we at least can build that at the
Cascades. The people of The Dalles and
tributary country expect this to be done
in time to help move their crops next
harvest, and they should not be disap
pointed. Telegram.
The Dalles Chboniclk heads an article
with "Portland Must Wake Up." Just
wait till we are inoculated with the I vm nh
of consolidation, and yon '11 think by the
way enterprises are pushed that our citi
