Spokane, Jnly 18. There is'nothing
startling from the seat of war. The re
turn of non-union miners still goes on.
A great many arrests have been made
and the striking miners are loud in their
condemnation of the way the law is ad
ministered. The. profess to be confi
dent that the mine-owners will operate
the machinery of the law to suit them
selves, and, right or no right, punish
them without mercy, when the arrests
were made at Burke the prisoners,
.heavily guarded, with their wet clothes
and gum boots, were inarched two deep
to the depot. They were not allowed
even to partake of dinner. In reply to
their loud talk United States Deputy
Marshal Hulliimii. informed them they
were seized by the iron grasp of the law
and were his prisoners. They are re
solved on having revenge, and it is ru
mored thev will next attack the root in
stead of the branch to remedy the evil
They confess to lighting the non-union
ttien in oiien con-flict in self-defense and
disclaim any connection with the Old
Mission affair, which they say were per
petrated by outlaws, who took advantage
of tke occasion for the purpose of rob
bery. Half the miners of the Tiger and
I'Oorman mines arc now in custody.
Among those arrested are Justice of the
Peace Frascr and Postmaster Marsh,
both sympathizers. A very prominent
member of the union says : "The influx
of non-union men means the commence
ment of a gnerrilla war. Our men have
Khown that they are fearless and de
termined. They have not hesitated to
destroy valuable property when they
knew that it jeopardized life, and they
are reailv to do it again. We are the
men who have made this country."
Van. B. PeLiishmutt, the mine-owner,
informed the -Associated" press corres
pondent yesterday that most of the non
union men, driven outof Wardner, have
returned and it is quite probable the
Hunker Hill and Sullivan mine would
be started up again this week. DeLnsh
mutt ways the Sierra Nevada at Ward
ner will' start up. with nearly the same
force as before the trouble. The Gran
ite miiiers, ho were last to be driven
out, lid not go far, and nearly all have
..return;! and will go buck to work today.

Spring grain is generally rather light.
The ferrvman of Corvallis says that

The Corvallis carriage and wagon com

A good force of men are making pro

Besides the large 3-story hotel that is

Your scribe went up to the O. A. C. a

exmple of our late President Arnold,
will become a patron of husbandry.
A dwelling house caught fire very mis
iteriously last Saturday and gave the

to show their good training, which they
did in a way to awaken admiration.
I understand that Chas. Stragger the

ADVERTISE TUI DALIES.
The. Time Has Come When This City
Should be Puhed to the Front!
Nnw that there can no longer be a
doubt as to the. time for the completion
of the Columbia river improvements be
tween The Dalles and Astoria, it ia time
for the people of this city to "begin a
systematic work of letting themselves
and The Dalles be known abroad in the
land. One way of doing this has been
suggested in the shape of a pamphlet,
descriptive of The Dalles, and the sur
rounding country, in both Oregon and
Washington. None need be afraid to
tell the truth, about a location at the
practical head of navigation for deep
water craft on the lordly Columbia, only
180 miles from the sea, with an area of
country tributary equal to all of New
England, and the most productive of
any lands known to cultivators. Tell it
as you please, gentlemen ; to a crowd of
hungry millions thirsting for just such
information, ia some shape, and it will
have a very desirable effect.
Only ,
Don't put it off
Till after the crack of doom.
A firm in Houston, Texas, bas a very
choice way of advertising. They first
get a list, next send a circular, then fol
low it up with a home paper, with a
not. appended, telling1' the person to
whom it is addressed that the subacrip
tion has been paid for, asking that it be
read and handed to your neighbor. "It
will do yon good and possibly broaden
your ideas of Texas."
That is business.
The document is self-explanatory.
We commend the example of Houston
to the attention of Dalles City property
owners as one of the best ways to adver
tise and make people elsewhere convers
ant with the growth and resources of
this region. It would be easy for our
banks, merchants and others to prepare
a long list of persons who, on learning
that the paper had been sent them at
the instance of a friend here would read
it thoughtfully. "When that Dalles
paper comes be sure to put it on my
desk," members of large . firms that re
ceive many papers, would say, in order
that they might take it home for quiet
perusal in the evening. In this way
people in other cities would learn of the
general progress of the town. Special
articles could be prepared upon subjects
here, of which we have a superabundant
supply, and such information would set
live men thinking, and if they desired
more they would write for it, or come
here themselves. Reduced rates for
papers distributed in, this way would
enable everybody to aid in the good
cause. The town is now ripe to consider
the subject, and it should be attended
to at once.
MUST BI SETTLED SOME WAT.
The Olil Time War Against the 1'ilott
Again Threatened.
The. people of Oregon will never con
sent to pay the Columbia bar nor river
pilots, out of the state treasury. This
Columbia river bar business has for 25
years been run in the interest of Tort
land, and if Portland wishes to make a
deal with Clans Spreckels, let Portland
put up for the expense of it. The Dalles
will be compelled to take an unmistak
able hand in this matter at no very dis
tant day. Col. McCraken says there is
nothing in the way just now, if Gov.
Pennoyer will consent to the scheme
and recommend it in his message;
"then," says the Colonel, "we would
have no difficulty in giving Mr.- Spreck
els a guarantee bond, and then he would
immediately send up his tugs." The
attempts to hog the wages of the pilots
will meet an unexpected opposition in
the next assembly. One of their num
ber, Capt. Campbell, will himself be in
the assembly, one of his positions will
be this : "There is no state in the union
where pilots are handicapped as they
are here. The pilots of San Francisco
are an independent body of men who
are not subject to any corporation. They
receive their license from the state, file
their bonds, and whatever they earn be
longs to them. Let the Portland cham
ber of commerce examine the pilot laws
of every state on the Atlantic seaboard,
and they will find that what a pilot
earns belongs to himself, provided be
complies with the law. Why did the
Portland merchants sell the tug Pioneer?
The pilots should be entirely distinct
from the towage business and should be
at liberty to collect what the law of Or
egon allows the pilots for their services.
There should be no deductions." The
general sentiment of shipping men is in
accord with Captain Campbell. They
hold that the shipping of the Colombia
is now able to support an efficient body
of pilots and that these, pilots should
not be hired by any corporation or firm
but should be free to exercise their call
ing as are the pilots of all other ports.
They hold that this will be best for the
ship owner and the port. The pilots!
earn all that the law allows them. They
deem it nonsense to depend on the state
voting any money for pilotage. Theyi
simply want to be let alone, and to have
the same rights accorded them aa are ac
corded in New York and other ports,
where the most powerful companies that
pay thousands annually for pilotage are
not allowed to interfere with the pilot
system.
TENSION INCREASES.
Reckless Men at Hoiesteai Liaole to
Price a Conflict- V
THE MILITARY PREPARING FOR IT.
Another Regiment Has Arrived at the
Scene of Expected Conflict.
A DKVNKKX MILITIAMAN'S ACT.
Mysterious Departures of Leaders
- Both Sides The Hills Are All
Still Quiet.
Homestead, July 19. The tension be
tween the strikers and the military is
increasing. There are many irresponsi
ble, reckless men in town, mostly with
some sort of arms, and an nntoward
event might precipitate a conflict. The
military, while not expecting such an
outcome, are evidently preparing for it.
A large additional amount of ammuni
tion bas been received from Frankfort.
There are at least 250,000 rounds of am
munition here, and more is expected.
Another regiment was brought over the
river this morning, and it is understood
three others will be brought over day by
day. All is quiet at the big mills, and
there is no visible evidence of the inten
tion to start up. David Lester, a militia
man, while drunk this morning, ran
bayonet into Frank C- Calhoun, inflict
ing a wound which .will prove fatal
Two brothers named McConnell, Eng
lishmen, who worked as foremen in the
Homestead mill, have not been seen for
three weeks, and the locked-out men
believe they have gone to England to
engage non-union men to take their
places in the mill. A dozen of the best
educated and most conservative of the
locked-out men at Homestead left for
the east yesterday with great secrecv.
It believed they have gone to labor with
a lot of Belgians, said to be on the way
to take the places of amalgamation men.
The amalgamated lodge of workmen, at
Carnegie's union mills, yesterday morn
ing resolved to stand firm in the strike
and tendered the Homestead men both
financial and physical assistance.'
Beaver falls employes kept their threat
and did not go to work yesterday, conse
quently the mill did not resume. Things
are quiet about the mill.
But.
Astorian. The Spreckels,:; of San
Francisco, who are likely to send tugs
here, are men of undoubted enterprise
who take pride in promoting the inter
ests of p'aces with which they are con
nected. They would find good scope for
their abilities here. But: Col. Mc
Craken, of Portland, appears to have
queer notions of pilots' - rights. He ev
idently thinks the legislature will vote
money for pilots so that the Spreckels'
tug may be brought here to compete
with tho Union Pacific. We would like
to see the Spreckels' tugs here, but they
will find plenty of business to do with
out encroaching on the just earnings of
the pilots. The pilotage on the vessels
that will come here during the present
shipping year will support a body of
efficient pilots who will do their work
well on any part of the river.
Starts in KIght.
Telegram. Judge Thomas A. McBride,
of the fifth judicial district, who will
hold a special term of court here for
Judge Shattuck.'commencing August 2d,
ia evidently a man who will stand no
nonsense from witnesses. During the
past week he has been holding an ad
journed term at Hillsboro, and he
taught some of the witnesses a whole
some lesson. One man came to the
stand the worse for liquor, whereupon
the judge fined him $10 and ten days in
the county jail. The next morning the
witness appeared and testified. The
judge then, in consideration of the sick
ness of the prisoner's wife, remitted the
imprieonment and sent him home soler.
A Hoard of Arbitration.
Chicago Post. An Oregon paper sug
gests and urges that the labor troubles
at Homestead be referred to a committee
for peaceful arbritration, said committee
to be composed of Gov. William Mc
Kinley, republican protectionist; Gov.
Pattison, democratic free-trader, and
Terrance V. Powderly, labor man. Un
doubtedly arbitration by one means or
another is the way out of this weighty
trouble. But ' if the three gentlemen
mentioned are to form the committe
who will act as a board of arbitration for
them.'
Do Ton Keeognixe the Name.
, Baltimore American. Tyrotoxicon has
not apparently caused an alarming de
crease in the consumption of ice cream,
and the manufacturers of this cool, deli
cacy can rest content with the assurance
that woman's faith is too profound for
such a scientific trifle to.disturb.
An Elephant on the Beach.
Astorian. The whale which came
ashore 'on North beach is becoming
somewhat of an "elephant" on account
of the odor arising from it.
THK ROYAL CHINOOK.
A Very Successful Season on the Coloui
. . uia j:iTr This Year.
The sight of eighteen tous of salmon
caught in one day, and hauled across
the ferry to the cannery from Grand
Dalles, as was seen yesterday, leads to
thoughts of this industry. Years ago
the great hue .and cry was that the
river would be fished out. Perhaps it
would, but for the wisdom thathas pro
vided the hatcheries. And right here is
where the much abused fish commission
comes in for a duly earned mede of
praise for their efficient servicer. There i
is fish enough and to spare, this season, ;
to keep up the reputation of the Royal;
Chinook Salmon. in the markets of the j
world. ' Twelve million dollars' capital j
is engaged in the work of catching and
curing him, and the Columbia is til?
only known river where he is to be
found. The merits of Columbia salmon
are well known. It is richer and of
finer grain than any other. , It excels all
other salmon as a tenderloin Steak docs
a piece of sole leather. It is packed bj:J
hand with the greatest enre by canneries
of the highest standing,' which have
been in the business many years and re
gard the reputation of their brands as
part of their stock in trade. In Alaska
the salmon . is packed entirely by
machinery, and skin and tails are as
likely to be packed all in one ran as
any other portions.' Despite the re
ported shortage, and the near approach
to theclose of the season, the Columbia
river salmon will hold its own.

Table Fare and Affable Waiters.
-All
Treated Alike.
From Harper's Weekly.
"Talk about the tough element in
mining camps Creede, Col., knocked
them all out when it first started," said
W. H. Combs, a member of the Silver
King mammoth mining company, which
is operating one of the best properties
in that new region. . "Last January
there was but one restaurant in the
place.. It was a small log cabin, fitted
up with rough wooden tables and chairs.
The menu would test the staying quali
ties of any stomach on earth. The
waiters were recruited from the toughest
element that had floated into Creede on
the first boom. t They indulged in all
the picturesque slang of that region in
filling orders. One day a man ordered
pork and beans for bis dinner and get
ting tired waiting he told the waiter to
bring along the beans without the pork.
The waiter stuck hia bead through
little cubby-hole at the rear end of the
cabin and veiled to the cook : "Hustle
along a brass band without a leader.
And the customer ate bis beans without
a leader.
Another customer ' ordered beefsteak,
eggs, and coffee that was the entire
menu but he only got eggs and coffee,
and protested. The big waiter,, with a
dangerous brace of revolvers dangling
against his tray; Teplied,. 'WallT ye'll
take eggs and coffee, blank you, or ye'll
go somewhere else, see?" The customer
took his eggs and coffee without further
parleying, for that was the only restau
rant in the town. "Another customer
was an aged gentleman with long,, flow
ing beard and a great amount of dignit3',
who bad come in from the east. With
as much dignity as if he were giving an
order to the Auditorium, the old gentle
man called for a cup of coffee. The
waiter, being busy, yelled in a rough
voice to another: "Bring in a cap of
coffee for weak whiskers here!'' "If a
steak were brought in too rare and a
customer asked for it to be cooked sgain
the waiter would yell to the cook, 'a
little more hell on this steak!" Ex-.
Governor Cooper of Denver,, eat at a
table one day until he grew tired, and
he arose to leave when a waiter hallooed,
'Old man, jist sit down again and keep
yer boots on I'll hustle in the grub fer
ye d'rectly.' And the governor sat
down and waited while he brushed away
a drift of enow from the .table that had
blown in through the chinks of the logs.
That Creede restaurant was a great
leveler of humanity." At this noted
restaurant mince pies are all tested with
a steam gauge.

THE IJKEaDFII. DISEASE IN PA HIS.
Liable to Keach ChJcgd, and Then th
West Sea Board Quarantine
Must be Enforced. '
New York, July 19. The present re
appearance of . the cholera scare is en
forced by enough facta to give ground
for serious apprehension. Apparently
authentic reports indicate that the
dreadful disease has traveled far from
its home in the reeking towns of Asia.
It has progressed np the Volga, taken
Moscow and several other Russian cities
and entered the environs of Paris.
With this beginning there is no accurate
predicting what may be the end. A
very little encouragement in the way of
efficient quarantine and poor sanitation
is enough to send the plague throughout
Europe. There is some doubt as to
whether the cases reported near Paris
are cases of true Asiatic cholera or of the
much less fearful malady cholera nostras.
In any event, this is no time for the
authorities of France or for the quaran
tine officers on our own seacoast to de
fer to a doubt. The most careful vigi
lance is demanded of the health officials
in every American city. Even the very
remote contingency of the plague mak
ing a visit to this city, Chicago, or far
ther west, should inspire the local au
thorities to additional efforts in cleaning
the alleys and sewers, burning the .gar
bage and enforcing municipal cleanli
ness. There are other precautions to be
observed by individual citizens on their
own behalf, but invariably the first of
these is that relating to sanitary condi
tions and the traditional rules for keep
ing in good physical trim. Further,,
there is, of course, the trite paradoxical
precaution of preparing against cholera
by refusing to think of. it with appre
hension. There is certainly no rational
cause at present for a scare. Live care
full'eat regularly, boil your drinking
water and trust to the good fortune that
has shooed away' many scares without
giving them any foundation. A careful,
courageous watchfulness as to health is
one thing; a blind fear is-another. What
good one may do may be fairly nullified
by the other. '
Wilson The Demon.
Oregonian. Wilson ia evidently em
ploying the leasure and quiet of his so
journ at Salem in careful development
of hie theory of defense. It does not ap
pear that he has been given the benefit
of legal council as yet;: but he could
hardly lay the foundation for the de
fense of insanity more cleverly, with aid
of the advice of the sharpest trickster
that ever followed the trade of cheating
the gallows out of its lawful prey. His
conversations and confessions, con
tradictory and meaningless as they are,
show a plain thread of design running
all through their intricate web ; the de
sign is to convey the impression of un
hinged wits and to prepare the public
mind for the formal plea of insane irres
ponsibility when he shall be put upon
trial.
Fusion in Kansas.
St. Louis Republic By the fusion of
the democrats with the people's party in.
Kansas the electoral vote of that state is-l
hopelessly lost to the republicans.
The democrats and the people's party
in Kansas appear to be pretty thoroughly
fused. The democrats have formally
indorsed the ten electors nominated by
the people's party in June as the choice
of the democratic! convention for their
electors. The vote on the questioa was
practically unanimous, and if the rank
and file of the two parties are in accord
with their delegates this action will
make things interesting in Kansas this
fall.

Official Weather Keport. "
Portland, July 19. Eastern Oregon.
General rains occurred, on the 16th,
varying from .27 of an inch at The ,
Dulles, to .22 in Morrow county, .31 in '
Umatilla county, .11 in Baker county
and .18 in Harney county. The mean
temperature has been from WT to 75,
which is from two to four degrees below
the average. ' There has been an excess
of cloudiness. On the 15th brisk winds a
prevailed north of the Blue mountains ;
on the 1Kb a frost occurred in . Klamath
county which injured gardens. Harvest
is in progress in all of the Columbia
river valley counties. The grain is
yielding better than was expected.
Late grain was greatly benefitted by the
rains. Tho grain crop in 1891, in the
counties east of the Cascades, amounted
to five and one-half million bushels.
Corn is doing very well, though would
have better growth . with warmer
weather." Potatoes are not a good crop.
There has been an average stock of hay
secured and stock growers feel confident
that they will have plenty of feed for
any kind of a winter. There is nothing "
especially discouraging .in the wheat
prospects of the state, though they are
not as flattering as they were one year
ago, Dut are more so man tuey were in
July, 1889. ..
Western Oregon. The mean temper
ature has ranged from CO to 70, which
is from three to five degrees a day below
tho average. The weather has been
partly cloudy and the average sunshine
has not prevailed. Showers occurred on
the 17th and general rains on the ICth,
except in parts of Jackson county where
no rain fell. The amounts of rainfall
are, Clatsop county ' 0.83, Multnomah
county 0.57, Marion county 0.50, Douglas
county 0.27, Josephine county 0.11,
northern Jackson county from a sprinkle
to 0.05 of an inch. The rain was of great
benefit, especially to late sown grain ; to
corn and garden truck ; while in portions
of the coast counties it did some damage
to hay. A continuation of the present
weather will prove of great value to the
late sown grain. Early sown wheat is
being harvested and it is generally tarn- .
ing out better than was expected. The
oats crop is just beginning to be cut in a
few localities. The. wheat crop of 1891,.
in the counties west -of the Cascades,
amounted to eight and one-half million
bushels. Haying is about over and. a
grod crop has been secured. The first
Bhipment of peaches was made from
Ashland on the 16th, which was ten
days later than ueual. .
A Militia Department.
Oregonian. A movement is on foot to
have the adjutants-general of the var
ious states memorialize congress on the
subject of the creation of a militia de
partment in the war department, for
the purpose of bringing the militia of
the states more under the control of the
war department and increasing its
effectiveness and value.- . While thisu
could da no harm it would amount to
but little. What Is needed is a national
militia law, giving the organized forces'
of the states recognition, .as national
militia under the constitution, placing it
at the disposal of the general govern
ment when needed,., providing for uni
form organization, equipment and disci
pline, and appropriating sufficient,
money for this purpose. Such a militia
department as is spoken of would be
a necessary part of the bureau work in
the war department. The cutting bill,
already reported by the committee, pro
vides for this nationalization of the so
called national guard, and efforts to im-
prove the condition of the militia would
better be concentrated upon that bill.
Frefttable Fish Dealing.
Telegram. A gentleman, just returned
from, the fishing grounds on the Colum
bia,, says that quite a lucrative business
is- carried on by some fishermen, or
rather fish buyers, who sail down around
the-month of the river and boy salmon
by the fish and sell it to the canneries
by the pound. A fisherman receives
but $1 per salmon when working for a.
cannery, but the fish buyers will give
him,ashighas $1.75 for laVge Chinook
salmon, according to weight. These
fish are brought to the canneries and
sold at 4, cents per pound. Steel-head
salmon, which are not taken at the can
neries, are bought by these boats at 2d
cents each and shipped to this city,
where the fish are sold to the fish mar
kets at 25 cents each. The quantity
consumed makes up for the small profit
realized on one fish.

Well that beats all. ' The pure citizeufe'
.reform party of Portland need not say
anything more about a "boss" or a
"ring," or Sain Parrish, or Joe- Simon,
or Jim Lotan.
And so the whole of the citizens' re
form movement in Portland has resulted
in the exchange of Joe Sinen and Jim
Lotan for Ben Norden and Barney GolJ
smith. Verily the world at large, or at
least that part of it called Portland,
loves to be humbugged.
