here.

We learn from Prineville papers that
wool men, in that neighborhood, are
hauling their wool to the Willamette
valley and realizing 20 cents a pound for
it. If this is true, and it cannot with
reason be questioned, as names and dates
are given, it argues something wrong in
The Dalles market.
We are sorry to learn that the two-year-old
child of Mr. Andrew McCabe,
who lives between Five and Eight Mile,
was kicked Wednesday by a sucking
colt, badly fracturing its skull. The ac
cident occurred at Polk Butler's place

ied by his wife and child. While getting
ready for the road, this morning the

Mr. W . J. iiarnman, whose place is
on the timber line between - Five and
Eight Mile, left a sample of fall wheat
at this office which contains its own
proof that it pays to farm well. It is
Little Club and measures four feet and a
half in height, and is a fair average sam
pie, Mr. Harriman says, of a two-acre
field of summer fallow, sowed in the fall,
The sample speaks loudly of the neces
sity of summer fallowing in order to ob
tain the best results. Every whit as
much grain can be raised on half the
ground in cultivation, if summer fallow
ing is practised, and with much greater
certainty of a crop on that which is cul
tivated and with less labor and less ex
pense. It is a curious fact, but fact it is, that
the bird that is more widely distributed
over the earth and better known to man
than perhaps any other, has no distinc
tive name. We refer to the barn-yard
fowl. To call them chickens is to use a
misnomer, unless we refer to those of
them which have just emerged from the
shell. To call them fowl is equally in
exact for the best usage of this term is
much more comprehensive. To call the
male bird a rooster is to use pure . Amer
icanism ; to call the female a hen is to
use a term equally applicable to the fe
males of many other species. The fact,
however, that all this is true, does not
make a chicken fry or roast a whit the
less savory.
A Family Reunion.
The Dalles can boast of having an old
fashioned family as far as size is con
cerned. We refer to that of Deacon and
Mrs. E. P. Roberts of this city. Last
night for the first time in three years
the whole family of thirteen persons
gathered under the roof tree. Mr. W,
J. Robert lately returned from from Bos
ton had the pleasure of meeting his two
brothers, D. H. and T. M. from the
state university at Eugene City, and
with the whole family sat down to a
home dinner. The father and mother
have lived in The Dalles since 1866, al
though their post office has been at this
place since 1862. Death has never in
vaded the ranks of the family and all
are reasonably well and happy. The
children have all been well educated and
are coming forward in a way that makes
happy the declining days of the honored
old father and mother, who- are them
selves loved for the good they have done
in this community. - May they all live
to enjoy many more happy reunions.
Mrs. Poorwan's Assailant
Put Under
1,000 Bonds. -
Al. Lawson, the man charged with the
criminal assault on Mrs. Poorman was
brought before Justice Doherty this af
ternoon at two o'clock. Lawson waved
examination and was bound over in ttie
sum of $1000 a sum so ridiculously !
small that it is only justified by the fact
that neither the justice nor Mr. A. R.
Thompson, who appeared for the state
believes that it can be prpcnred. Quite
a crowd was gathered around the office
of the justice as the marshal marched
Lawson from the jail and it was perfect
ly evident that it only wanted a leader
to have dealt roughly with the prisoner.
Mrs. Poorman was able to ride down to
the office in the sheriff's buggy, and the
sight of the poor old lady, with her ear
and face bearing the marks of having
been bitten by the brute, and her broken
arm in a sling, was enough to melt the
stoutest heart.

A HUMAN MONSTER.
. Midnight Assault on Poor Old Lady
Poorman Her Arm Broken in Strir
ing to Hare Her Honor.
The most damnable outrage that it has
ever fallen to our lot to chronicle in these
pages was committed last night, in this
city, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o'clock, on the person of Mrs.
Poorman, an old, feeble, widow lady of
seventy-two years, who lives by herself,
in a small house at the head of Liberty
street. The brute who is charged with
the perpetration of the infamous deed is
one Al Lawson, a drunken vagabond,
well known in the city, where he used
to work in the company's shops, and
who lately was employed on the ranch
of Jack Easton, of Dufur.
The marshal is perfectly satisfied that
Lawson is the same man who committed
like outrage on Mrs. Poorman last
summer and again made another at
tempt last fall. At the attempt' last fall
Lawson tied his horse to a neighboring
fence and both the horse and its owner
were identified by the marshal so that
the moment he heard of the last outrage,
at six o'clock this morning he promptly
said to his informant Mr. Norman, "I
know the man who did it."
Two and a half hours afterwards Law-
son was in jail and the chain ot evi
dence proving him to be the miscreant
was complete. When Lawson broke
into the window of the old lady's dwell
ing last night, Mrs. Poorman grasped a
pistol and fired one shot at him. A
struggle ensued during which .Lawson
became possessed of the pistol, every
thing was turned upside down in the
room, the old lady's wrist was broken
and the damning outrage perpetrated.
Lawson took 'the pistol with him and
soaked" it for sixty cents' worth of
liquor at the bar of the Columbia hotel,
where the marshal found it with one
chamber empty.
Both Mrs. Poorman and the lady who
gave her the pistol have identified the
weapon and the bar keeper of the Col
umbia hotel identifies Lawson as the
man who pawned the pistol. The shoes
of Lawson
fit exactly into the tracks
leading to Mrs. Poorman's house and at
the window and there cannot be the
shadow of a reasonable doubt- of Law
son's guilt.
Excitement i uns high in the city and
the citizens express themselves very
freely as to Lawson's deserts. The mar
shal has removed him to the county jail
from the less secure cells of the old
court house. Marshal Gibons has done
a good piece of detective work on this
case and deserves great credit. Dr.
Doane is in attendance on Mrs. Poor
man who is doing as well as could be
expected.

WOOL SITUATION'.
The" wool market has been quite active
during the week and more movement is
noticed than at any other time during
the season, partly for the reason that
there have been more buyers and a
yielding tendency on the part of sellers.
who have held for extreme prices for
their clip. While there is a disposition by
large wool growers to hold, their are
those of smaller pretentions, who
are selling, as their m financial condi
tion does not warrant them in re
fusing to sell; and such are let
ting their wool go at fair rates
which range from 13 to 17 cents, accord
ing to shrinkage, we are reliably in
formed that some wool growers of the
southern portion of Eastern Oregon are
hauling their wool over the mountains
to the Willamette towns and selling it as
valley wool, realizing valley prices, the
buyers seeing no difference in quality or
staple, between this and valley wools,
If this is the case, why is there a dis
tinction between Eastern - Oregon and
valler wools? Certainly Eastern Oregon
grades are as high or higher than Will
amette valley grades.
In the produce market there is not
much to report save it is well supplied
with all kinds of fruits and vegetables
and prices are less firm. Strawberries
are sold in the city at o to 8 cents per
box. Cherries are at their best and sell
at 5 to 8 cents per pound. Raspberries
and all other kinds of small fruits are in
light demand. Turnips, onions, carrots,
peas, string beans and beats are in over
snnnlv. New potatoes have taken the
place of old and are selling from 1 to
cents per pound.
MISCELLANEOUS MARKET.
The market is feeling the scarcity of
eggs, and some dealers are paying zz
cents per dozen in cash and 25 cents in
trade. Good, fresh, ranch butter is in
less supply with an upward tendency,

AN OPEN RIVER TO THE SEA.
Bessie French Breaks the Proverbial
Bottle of Champagne Over the Bow
A Successful Launch.
Everything was in readiness for the
"Regulator" at eleven o'clock this fore
noon. An hour before the time an
nounced for the launch large numbers of
of the citizens bent their way towards
the foot of Washington street, and as the
boat was cut loose it looked as if half of
the city were present.
The ceremony was opened by a speech
from Mr. B. S. Huntington in which he
congratulated the people on the present
progress and hopeful outlook of an en
terprise that was but the first step
the solution of the question of an
open river. Mr. Huntington thanked
the directors on behalf of the people
for what they had already accom
plished and by anticipation for
the greater things yet to come. Three
cheers and a tiger were then given for
the first boat of The Dalles, Portland
and Astoria Navigation company." It
was now exactly 3 by the clock, and as
the mingling sound died upon the. air,
the voice of the foreman rang out, "One,
two, three!" there were a few knocks of
workmens' hammers, and the noble and
graceful boat,' like a thing of life
and beauty glided into the river,
At this moment Miss Bessie
French who was standing at the bow
broke a bottle of wine and pronounced
the mystic words that christened this
lovely apparition of forest, mine and
human genius "The Regnlator." The
launch was a complete success. Long
may she proudly wear the name, and
long may she deserve to wear it!
The Regulator is 150 feet in length by
twenty-eight feet beam and six and a
half feet hold. She will have a' maxim
um speed of seventeen miles an hour.
Her capacity is 240 tons. Her engine
has a sixteen-inch cylinder and six foot
stroke and has a force of from 300 to 350
horse power.
The following persons were aboard
the Regulator at the time of the launch :
D. M. French, A. S. Macallister, M. T.
Nolan, Orion Kinersly, Hugh Glenn, B.

THE CHIMB CALENDAR.
Brutal
Outrage to a Thirteen-Year-Old
Minnesota Girl.
Delano, Minn., June 21. The body of
Annie Brunder, aged thirteen, was
found a few rods from the railroad track
between Montrose and Waverlv last
nieht. She lived about a quarter of a
mile from Montrose. She had been to
school and was returning home Thurs
day evening when she was assaulted
Her parents, supposing that she had
passed the night with friends, were not
anxious about her until Friday evening,
when thev became alarmed and at once
instituted a search. When fonnd, her
bands were tied behind her, her feet tied
together, and her apron tied tightly
around her : face. Suspicion points
strongly toward John Maseue, a thirteen
year-old boy ot Montrose, and 11 it is
confirmed, he will probably never be
tried by a jury.

America will nenceionu uruuuce ner
own prunes, and French and Turkish
growers will have to take a back seat,
The annual consumption of this fruit in
this conntrv is about 100.000.000 Dounds
Last year California produced about
17.UUU.UUU pounds, irunes can be raised
in California for about 3 cents a pound
and sold at a profit at 4 cents. Turkey,
in my opinion, could not probably pro
duce them at 2 cents, which would be
necessary in view of the tariff of 2 cents
per pound. To this the cost of transpor
tation must be added. Moreover, tne
soil in Turkey and France is greatly ex
hausted, prunes having been raised there
for over a century, while in California
the trees have not been plan ted for more
than twenty years.
A Constable Holds Up a Train.
Pueblo, Colo., June 21. A constable
of the town of Eads, in Kiowa county,
held np the Missouri Pacific express for
three hours last night, ine salary 01 an
employe of the road had been garnisheed
by a citizen of Eads, but the company
had neglected to settle, and the matter
was placed in the hands of the constable.
When the express stopped at Eads last
night the constable boarded the engine
and served papers attaching tne same.
Nearly three hours were spent in tele
graphing the superintendent of the road,
who finally ordered the payment of the
money. ' A postal inspector was on the

Serious Trouble Threatened.
Los Angeles. June 22. The assistant
adjutant general today received the fol
lowing dispatch from Lieutenant Brett,
commanding the detachment in Ream's
canyon, Arizona, dated Arleba Village :
"Came to A re 1 Da to arrest several
Areibas who had destroyed surveyors'
marks and threatened to destroy the
schools. When we entered the village
we were confronted by about fifty hos
tiles, armed and stationed behind a bar
ricade. They openly declared hostility
to the government and a fight was barely
averted. A strong force should be sent
here with Hotchkiss guns, as I anticipate
serious trouble if the hostiles are not
summarily dealt with.
