Travelers in January last found on the

jars of fruit put up in Buffalo, N. Y., by
the Erie Preserving Co., and noticed the
same goods on sale in many of the ba
zars. The following statement from Mr. W.
B. Denny, a well known dairyman of
New Lexington, Ohio, will be of interest
to persons troubled with Rheumatism.
He savs : "I have used Chamberlain's
Pain Balm for nearly two years, four
bottles in all, and there is nothing I have
ever used that gave me as much relief
for rheumatiflm. We always keep a hot
tie of it in the house." For sale by
Snipes & Kinersly.
The abundance or rather auper-abnnd
ance of fruit, in this section this season
makes it imperative that some organized
effort should be made whereby better
shipping facilities and a better market
should be obtained. There ought to be
a good thine in this business- for some
smart energetic business man who would
buv fruit for shipment or act as a com
mission agent for the fruit growers
man who would not want the earth
ought surely to make eood waxes at it.
PThe wife of Mr. A. B. Manly of Albina
formerly of Wapinitia in this county,
reported as again suffering from injuries
she received to the little finger of her
left hand, some nine weeks ago, which
b&dlv shattered the small bones of the
member, and caused ' a very painful
wound which had to be reduced twice
by the attendant physician. The hand
again became in named a few days ago
and it Is feared she will yet have serious
trouble with it. Mrs. Manly is
daughter of Mr. Hampton Kelly of Wap
initia.
In almost every neighborhood : there

McDonald Brothers of the East End
saloon -were yesterday brought before
the recorder, charged by Mrs. Rebecca
Williams with "permitting women to
sing and dance and perform as musicians
in a bar room and drinking shop," con
trary to ordinance No. 8 of this city. A
S. Bennett appeared for Uie city and W.
H. Wilson for the defendants. The fol
lowing persons acted as jurors : Emit
Scbanno, J. S. Fish, H. L. Kuck, E.
Jacobsen, B. McCully -and- H. Knight,
The witnesses for the city were Harry
Hampshire, Con Howe, W. T. Jones
and Rebecca Williams, none of whom,
save Mrs. Williams, was willing to
swear that he knew . anything of
women being in the place, during the
time comprehended in the complaint,
and Mrs. Williams-would only swear
that she had heard their voices, in the
place. McDonald Brothers introduced
no testimony in defense, and after the
case was argued at length by the lawyers
it was submitted to the jury which,
after aboutjhalf an hour's consultation,
brought in a verdict for the defendants,
There is a very melancholy looking
brindle cow and calf impounded in the
Saltmarsb calaboose under the indict
ment of having stolen or otherwise sur
reptitiously grand larcenied Deputy
United State Marshal A. G.- Johnson's
garden valued at about $20. She waives
examination and Is fully committed for
trial before his honor Marshal Gibbons.
What makes the matter possess a touch
of deep pathos, is the fact that the edi
tor's cow is there "too, though- under
what charge we have not yet learned.
We are fully prepared how .'ver, to certify
as to her previous good character. As
to the brindle, Mr. Johnson says she is
an old transgressor, well known for ber
theiving propensities in the Garrison
neighborhood. When she comes np for
trial Mr. Johnson will prove that she
can open a garden gate, no matter how
it is latched, slicker than any cow he
ever saw in his life. he can- eat corn,
without a question. She has now four
or five hundred yards of A. G's, sweet
corn concealed on ber . person, or had.
when she latched the garden gate after
her. -'
It would appear that the Union Pacific
has added to its other crimes a case of
daylight robbery and mean contemptible
theft in the matter of the shipment of
the forty-three cars of wool belonging to
Mr. J, H. Sberar, which was shipped
from this place about a week ago and
routed in care of the Northern Pacific j
at Wallula Junction, but which the
Union Pacific diverted to their own line,
against the' traffic agreement be
tween the two companies and the
positive shipping instmctions given
by the shippers at this point.
The Union Pacific bad fixed the rate on
wool in sacks at f 2.65 per hundred
pounds, in car lots, between this city
and Boston. Mr. B. B, Wilson the trav-
I savuix to Uie prouuccT
! ton. This reduction,
Northern Pacific, enabled
, jforthern pacific enabled Mr. Sherar
phip hi(J lmmen6e woo( clip at R
consid
erable Baying and he at once made a con
tract with the company to this effect,
The wool was loaded in the Union Paci
fic company's cars, in consequence of
special promise of the U. P. officials,
deliver the cars at Wallula Junction for
transfer to the N. P. lines. This the U.
P. company preferred to do, rather than
haul the X. P. empty can from
allula to The Dalles which they are
obliged to do under the traffic
agreement already referred to. Instet.
of delivering the wool at Wallula, ac
cording to agreement, the V. P. took
to Umatilla and from thence transferred
it to their own lines, and it is now
the way to Boston by way of the Union
Pacific and North Western, This
simply stealing and nothing less and the
case has all the more interest for tl
people of The Dalles because it show
that the Union Pacific company is de
termined that no other company shall
come here and offer us competitive rates,
It all the more loudly swells the demand
for an open river and a portage around
the Dalles and Celilo. As a breach of
faith, as a violation of a plain contract
the act of the U. P. would be contempt
ible in a twenty-five cent horse trader.
and wo shall be surprised if the N
does not make them sorry for it.
Mrs. J. H. Covington of this city has
plan for exterminating squash bugs and
cabbage and tree lice, that she com
mends to the attention of all whose gar
dens are infeated with these pests,
is simply finely ground cayenne pepper,
used as a powder or in a solution of five
gallons of water to a pound of pepper,
As a powder, fhe appiles it to the squash
leaves and. around their roots, by a com
moo insect bellows which can be bought
at any of our drug stores. The solution
she applies by either washing the leaves
or when convenient dipping the infected
branches into a vessel containing the
solution. Mrs. Covington pronounces
this remedy a complete success. It
her own discovery, she has thoroughly
tested it and never found it to fail. The
solution no matter how strongly made,
will not effect the trees, or plants.
Messrs. Jesse Crandall, W. H. Loch
head, E. Jacobsen and Dr. Hugh Logai
mounted the merry-go-round last night,
Lochhead and Jacobsen seating them
selves on two fiery chargers, and the
doctor and Jesse modestly taking a seat
in one of the cushioned carriages. As
they were all located in one spot the
weight proved too much for the machine
and it tipped over and broke something
which caused a stoppage of fifteen' or
twenty minutes. Of course the boys in
sisted on having out their ride and at its
close Messrs. Crandall and Lochhead
were two of the sickest lads we ever saw,
It was worth going a mileo see Ernest
Jacobsen on one of the little bobby
horses, with his long legs folded like a
shut umbrella and his feet in the stir
rups.

The wool movement was quite brisk
the fore part of the week, but a decline
in Driw"S has strain checked it. The
warehouses are quite clear of bales
the sales and shipments have near,
cleaned out the large amounts on stor
age, and the ontside buyers have nearly
all gone. Prices range from 13's Ja 16j
with few offerings on the part of either
buyer or toiler.
Ol'B WRSAT MARKKT.
The rejwrts of the previous week on
the wheat prospects and probable mar
ket, is being confirmed daily. American
harvests are realizing expectations in all
sections, except in some localities where
damage has been sustained by heavy
storms.
European and Asiatic reports are still
coming in of a discouraging nature to
those countries, Cablegrams from Odessa
Russia, indicate a shortage of 50,000,000
bushels of wheat and 360,000,000 bushels
of rye, which is the bread of that coun
try. In sown portions of India, the
drouth has devastated the famine dis
tricts, and as a whole her exports will be
only nominal. It is doubted whether
she will be able to export a bushel. In
Prussia, there is a shortage, and already
fears are entertained that outside mar
kets will have to be depended on for
their difficulty.
Present reports from England indicate
good crops, but taking into account the
difficulty in France, Russia, India some
of the Bulgarian provinces, there is
probability that all of America's surplus
breadstuff's will be required to meet the
demand, and that being the case, prices
will be higher thau for the past twelve
years. Market quotations in Europe
and. the east, are inactive at present
but are steady and indicate a firmness
with an upward tendency. Futures
deliveries for 1891, have advanced three
to five cents per bushel within the past
ten days.
California buyers are offering an ad
vance of five cents since last week, and
in Eastern Washington and Oregon are
freely contracting on futures, at 66 to
cents per bushel f. o. b. at station for the
1891 crop.

at
the time that Gen. Schofield and his
young bride paid the vessel a' visit also,
Whether it was in honor of the general
and Mrs. Scofield or of Mr. and Mrs,
Filloon, John is not clear, but just
that time the band on board the Sprit
struck up the "Star Spangled Banner,
and the guns thundered a salute
fifteen rounds. If the demonstration
was in John's honor, he cannot for the
life of him guess how they knew
he was there. That is nothing,
however. The same thing,
something very similar happened
to the writer seventeen years ago as he
arrived from the east in the good ship
Oriflamme, in the twilight of a summer
evening. - There was no band music,
is true, but the guns on shore made
racket, the like of which we never heard
before nor Bince, and the little boat
swain of the Oriflamme, to let Portland
know we were on board, it appeared
answered by firing off a mortar .while we
stood almost touching it, the report
which so surprised our off ear that
has never since recovered from the
shock. Of course the envious few said
that the Balute was in honor of General
Sheridan and his young bride who were
on board but we were quite satisfied
that this version was true.
The brothers are gathering in the cows
to the pound in fine style these days,
As many as fifteen to twenty five stray
bo vines and horses have been coralled
and two or three of our citizens bave
had their cows impounded twice. The
melancholy brindle that harvested A. G
Johnson's corn is still in durance vile, as
she is the property of William Chambers
now of Albina, and' was tenderly placed
in the care of Sheriff Cates, when Mr,
Chambers moved below. Owing to the
absence of the sheriff she has not yet
had her trial, but so many charges are
made against her that we fear it will go
hard with her. If they are all true she
ought to be sent to the penitentiary for
life.
Mr. C. J. Van Duyn, better known
"the mayor of Tygh Valley, has sent
to this office a sample of timothy ears

the Wamic settlement, which used to be

measure nine inches and were plucked
from a meadow, we judge to be thirty
acres in extent, on which the grass
stands as "high as a horse's back." By
the way the place is for sale, as Mr. Van
Duyn has made arrangements to go into
business in the town of Heppner, we
believe, and from 6ur own personal

Comparisons are sometimes odious
but here is one, if possessing this char
acteristic, that has the virtue of afford
ing material for some solid and profit
able reflection. The Northern Pacific
has a piece of road 146 miles in length
from Portland to Tacoma. ' The Union
Pacific has another .88 miles in length
from Portland to The Dalles. On the
U. P. road first class faeight is 45 cents
a hundred, second class is 45 cents, third
class is 42 cents, fourth class is 40 cents
and fifth class is 37 cents. On the N. P.
first class is 25 cents, second class 23
cents, third class 20 cents, fourth class
20 cents and fifth class 18 cents. Read
this paragraph over again and see if we
don't need an open river.
We are credibly informed that the
Union Pacific company last year over
charged Mr. Sberar some two hundred
dollars, on. his shipment of wool and
notwithstanding the. fact that the com
pany acknowledged the justness of Mr,
Sherar8 claim, they have never, to this
day settled with him. When the com
pany learned that Mr. Sherar contem
plated shipping his wool this season by
the Northern Pacific the general freight
agent of the U, P. offered to settle the
bill, on condition that the wool should
be shipped over his road, and actually
threatened to repudiate the claim if the
wool was shipped by the Northern
Pacific.
