Poeti.axd,, July 20. Max Pracht,
former collector, at Sitka, throws some
light on the Chilcat Indian troubles in
Alaska, arising from Unlicensed and nn
controlled methods of fishing employed
by the white canneryinen who have lo
cated upon streams previously fished by
the natives, which might have been pre
vented if congress had provided means
for carrying out the provisions of its own
actsby the appointnientof a special agent,
now tardily provided for in the eenate
amendment to the sundry civil bill, to be
on the ground to enforce the provisions
of the act relating to the barricading and
obstruction of salmon streams in Alaska.
Ho could, and no doubt would, by re
moving such causes for bad feeling, have
prevented bloodshed. The absorption
of every available stream carrying
salmon by the caunerymen is sure to
lead to more disturbances unless imme
diate preventive measures are employed.
These Chilcat Indians have a powerful
eettleineni on the Chilcat river, about
four miles above its confluence with the
Lynn canal, have and for years com
plained of the encroachments of white
rishermen upon their salmon fishing
grounds and of the establishment of traps
and nets in that part of the canal leading
from Pyramid island to the eastern shore,
a distance of about three miles. There
has been "considerable friction, and a few
personal enconntere. Twice the United
States naval vessel stationed at Sitka,
has found it necessary to go to the head
of the canal, and, by its presence and by
councils with the chief men, has patched
tip a truce. The Chilcats are, of all the
Alaskan tribes, the most fierce, and war
like. Their arrogance was in no wise
-decreased- when, in 1891 , after the arrest
of one of their chiefs for attempted mur
der of a United States deputy marshal,
Mb liberation on bail followed. This
proceeding was protested against by the
government, the United States marshal
:ind other civil officers, his bondsman,
being a lieutenant of the United States
navv. Not this onlv. but he was carried
back to Chilcat bv the United States
rteamer Pinta. His imiKrtance among
his tillicums, or tribal family, became so
much increased therebv as to lead to
more aggression.
Kulogy on Archbishop Irelunil.
akw Yohk, July 20. rhe pope, re
ceiving the pupils of the propaganda,
delivered an animated eulogy on Arch
bishop Ireland yesterday, praising his
many virtues, his vigor as a thinker and
energy in action. The archbishop he
said, was a true republican and a genu-
ine democrat, and since leaving Eome
had done good work for the church In
Paris. His remarks were received .with
enthusiasm by the pupils. They have
made a profound impression as showing
the archbishop has the confidence of the
holv lather.
The Monterey and Mlantonoinau.
Sax Fbaxcisco, July 20. Irving M.
ticott, in speaking of the Monterey, said
the coast-defense vessel would not be
completed for some time. He said
that all of the armor plates for the
Monteryhad arrived with the exception
of one side plate, which was now on the
way. Last week the armored ventilators
and smokestacks arrived. The finishing
plate for the Monterey and Miantonomah
was the first lot of armered plate ordered
by the government made in this country.

name for the new seedling gooseberries
on exhibition at the N. P. R. ticket office,
in Portland. It is said they are of such
magnificent proportion as to make even
a web-foot inquire what they are. The
berries are as large as plums and of ex
cellent flavor. They were grown on the
trial grounds of F. L. Posson & Son, on
east side. This firm has adopted a novel
way to name 'and advertise this berry.
They promise to give $50 to the person
who shall suggest the best name for' it,

three prominent citizens.' Samples of
the berries may be had at Posson 's seed

THK ml CIS OK WHEAT.
The Keeeaatty of the Time Demand That
rompt Meaiinrea be Taken.
The last years crop of wheat in the
Inland Empire has been nearly all dis
posed of. But few lots are now held for
sale. The last lot purchased changed
hands at C4 cents, which is equivalent
to 77 cents in Portland. In the Willam
ette valley, between Portland and Har
risbnrg, there is still held probably 250,
000 bushels. Of this, 175,000 bushels in
the hands of half a dozen persone. The
lot could be bought np for 84 cents per
bushel, but dealers are offering only 78
cents. Some desire is expressed to get
the grain moved, to make room for the
new crop, but millers have n large stock
on hand, and are not anxious to invest.
As showine how the farmers in the In-;
land Empire are handicapped, for want
of an open river, we have been at con
siderable trouble to ascertain the differ
ence against them in the matter of trans
portation. Duluth is 1519 miles from
New York city by way of the lakes and
the Erie canal The Dalles has a straight
river stretch, with the cascade locks and
canal open, of but 188 miles to the sea
port of Oregon Astoria.' - But our grain
is carried to Portland, 88 miles by rail,
at a cost of lSj-g cents per bushel. There
it is stored nntil convenient to - ship it,
or lighter to Astoria for shipment; when
another tariff is taxed upon it. With
the river open at the cascades, many
vessels would come to The Dalles and
load here direct for Liverpool. It is a
fact that wheat 'is carried from Duluth
to Liverpool bv water, at 21i cents lets
per bushel, than The Dalles shipper
pays by railroad to Portland. Here
are the actual and indisputable facts.
Preserve them for future reference.

Excckb agaiiifct tile' Wasco farmer. '
A gentlemen who has carefully in
quired into this subject, taking one year
with another, estimates that since the
farming interest of the Inland Empire
has taken precedence farmers have been
needlessly taxed an amount on wheat
alone fully equal to the total cost of
lnakyig the Columbia river open and
free to craft of every class, to compete
for the carrying trade of the country. .
How much longer
Must the people submit
To this system of extortion?
Capt. J. AV. Lewis shows that in Was
co, Sherman Gilliam, Morrow, Grant
and Cook counties there are 4,327,370
acres surveyed, and 371,800 acres un
surveyed lands.' A total of 5,660,179,
acres, available to settlement. Last
year thejnlaml Empire shipped 23,000,
000 bushels of wheat alone, in addition
to other cereals. There wece also ex
ported from the river in the vicinity of
this improvement; over 1G,000,000 lbs.
of wool, together with a, great many
other productions in proportion. To em
phasize this matter, let it be understood
that there is not a bushel; of grain ; nor
a pound of wool ; nor any -other pro
duction ' for shipment from the
Inland Empire; which does not
have to pay its proportionate in
crease to the above figures as the
distance increases bevond The Dalles
It is therefore plain to be seen that it
high time the people were awakened to
a sense ot the necessity ot timely action
that this improvement may not be do
layeu one hour by tne influence ot any
one man or combination ot men. it is
of much greater importance to the
people of Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton than tne election of a president.
Brooklyn. July 20. The combina
tion of wall street capitalists and whole'
sale grocers that are to compete with
the American sugar refinery, has been
completed in accordance with the reso
lution to double the capital stock. The
promoters of the project have proceeded
with the work from the first and have
nearly completed an immense establis-
ment in the eastern district of Brooklyn,
covering an entire block. The main
building will be ten stories high. An
extensive system of piling is being con
stracted for docks and wharfs. At the
start two new refineries will have a ca
pacity of 2,000 barrels a day ; but now
that the capital stock has been increased
several millions, it is thought the-out
put will be greatly increased in the near
future. Spreckles are in no wavs inter
ested in this combination.
Yellow Ferer Bases. .
San. Fkancisco, v July 20. Reports
say the yellow. fever scourge continues
unabated at Vera Cruz and the rate of
mortality is alarmingly large. Hun
dreds of people are leaving the city
Among the former residents there have
been many deaths, and those who could
escape quarantine regulations have' left
their homes and escaped to the citv of
Mexico or other interior parts of the re
public. W. W. Apperson, United
States consul at Vera Cruz, . is among
these. He has just recovered from an
attack of yellow fever. The terrible
malady is having a serious effect on the
business . and commercial . interests of
Vera Cruz. Every precaution is being
used to prevent the fever from, spread
ing, tne government having established
strict quarantine regulations. There is
no yellow fever thus far at Tampico.

Scenes in toe BeantiM '
VALLEY OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER.
At The Dalles of Oregon, and Grand
Dalles in the New State of
Washington.
From the KuA'alo Sunday Kxpreas. Jane
13. 185)2.
The Dalles, Or.,. May 24. On the
Oregon shore of . the Columbia river,
eighty-eight miles east of Portland and
188 miles from the Pacific ocean, the
historic and picturesque town of The
Dalles partly climbs one of the Wasco
hills and overlooks a scene of which it
might be truly said :
"There is not in the wide world a valley bo sweet.
As that vale In whose bosom the bright waters
meet." - .
The mythical "Vale of Avoca" could
scarcely offer charms more alluring than
those which nature here presents to the
astonished visitor as he climbs the hill
behind the town and beholds for the
first time the gorgeous panorama spread
out before him. It is the soft magic of
mellow sunshine and bright blue .sky
smiling down upon vine-clad hills,
sparkling waters, magnificent orchards,
meadows, broad fields and distant forest,
climbing to the mountain summit, that
encircle the homes of a happy, prosper
ous and contented people and make this
beautiful valley one of the loveliest spots
that can be found on the face of the
earth. . .
The days are few throughout the year
when the sun is not shining at The
Dalles, while the soft Chinook winds
tempered by the sea current and vapor
ings of the ocean sweep daily through
the Cascade mountains and up the valley
of the Columbia, producing a climate of
remarkable serenity and a vegetation of
marvelous richness. Under these
favorable conditions and with a soil
capable of growing anything within the
temperate zones, all kind of fruit, grain
and vegetables luxuriate to a degree of
perfection that is elsewhere unsur
passed and excelled by no. other land in
the wide world. '.'.-.
If the traveler happens to visit - The
Dalles during the ripening season and
takes a walk into the country ''in;. any
direction, he will pass, on almost- every
hillside, orchards and vineyards bending
beneath their load of marvelous fruit
age, while far down in sunny slopes may
be seen acres of strawberries, some of
which occasionally attain a size so large
that one of them cannot be put into a
tumbler or common drinking glass. This
statement may appear beyond the bounds
of truth to a great many people,' but it is
nevertheless a fact. It is in this sheltered
valley that such fruits as apricots,
peaches, pears, plums, grapes, prunes,
cherries, apples and strawberries attain
the greatest degree of perfection. The
writer, while traveling through this
section last year, came across some pears
that were on exhibition, and which were
so large that he verily believes that one
of them could not have been put into a
gallon measure ; that is, a gallon meas
ure would be neither deep enough nor
wide enough to have contained a single
pear. -Had anything like this been told
to him a year ago he could not have be
lieved it, and as there are many to
whom it may seem' impossible, he can
only invite the skeptic to visit this won
derfully fertile land or else write to some
one here that he may know and thus
convince himself of its truth.
These fruits nna a ready market in
Portland, the towns lving along the
Pugel Sound, and in Idaho, .Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Straw
berries as a rule begin to ripen about the
first of May, cherries from about the
10th to the 15th of May, and from then
np to late in the fall the other fruits
afford a continuous supply. By reason
of favorable climate and other natural
advantages, the orchardist here is
enabled to get his product into market'
from two weeks to a month earlier than
his competitors iu other localities and
thereby to reap the benefit of early
prices.
While driving over the. bunch grass
region, with its hills and sloping ter
races rising sometimes to mountains of
considerable altitude, onr attention is
frequently drawn to great herds, of
sheep, cattle and horses which not only
thrive throughout the ; year on this
native pasturage, but have a peculiar
vigor. We involuntarily, remark:
"There are some fine stock ; those horses
and cattle look sleek and fat and well
fed. They must have had excellent care
last winter." But the remarkable part
of their existence is that they never saw
the inside of a stall or a barn, their only
protection having been the canopy of
heaven, and for food and drink, the rich
bunch "grass and sweet waters of the
valley. ...
Sheep raising and wool, growing liei
closely akin to stockraising,' and many
ranchmen are - extensively ' engaged
therein. , This is the largest primary
shipping point for' wool in the United
States, there having been shipped from
here- and the near vicinity, in
1891, ten million pounds, or one
thousand car loads. When it is
known that this industry is rapidly in
creasing from year to year, as additional
capital and enterprise are embarked
therein, it will be seen that the benefits
to be derived by The Dalles through her
wool and sheep shipments will in no
small measure contribute to her general
wealth and prosperity. Thus, with
horses, cattle and sheep, much material
is offered for export trade while supply
ing an ever increasing home consump
tion.
Salmon fishing is on industry which
bos here grown to gigantic 'proportions.
It is earned oh by both Indians and
white men, bat with profit scarcely alike
to each. There are some men who have
become independent out of these fish
eries alone. The Indians on the other
hand, caring nothing for ambition or
wealth, fish only for; the pleasure it
affords them and are contented with the
bare necessities ' of .life. Over on the
Washington side of the. Columbia, and
just above Grand Dalles, some of the
Yakima tribe have a village on the
property of Mr. O. D. Taylor. It is a
picturesque place in its way, the family
mansion consisting of a pole wigwam
covered with skins or mats, with a col
umn of smoke ascending slowly upward
from a small wood fire outside, and over
which a pot may be boiling, is an object
to which distance lends all the enchant
ment. If barking enrs and dogs of high
and low degree, and ponies, and pap
pooses, and dirt would count for any
thing, these bookless sons of the forest
won d indeed be rich. In the fishing.
season they come here from their reser
vations to catch salmon and dry it for
their winter food. A few days ago, the
writer, in company with several visitors
went up the river to Mr.' Taylor's fisher
ies, and although a number of Indians
were there with scoop nets, one man
who occupied a favored position on a
boulder that projected into the current
seemed to be having , better hick than
the rest, as he was scooping up two fish
at every dip and as fast as he could put
his net into the river, great fine salmon
about two feet long.' When the people
here go fishing, they are not in the habit
of taking a bag or a basket in which to
carry home their fish, but they go with
a two horse wagon and when they re
turn, their friends do not ask: "How
many fish did you catch?" but
Hour many TOJiS did yon catch?"
There are now ten fish wheels in the
vicinity of Grand Dalles, and as soon as
the snow begins to melt up in the Blue
mountains and the far off Rockies, the
river rises and these wheels then run
night- and ;day scooping up fabulous
quantities of the most valuable salmon,
varying from five to seventy pounds in
weight. When it is remembered that
this fish retails nt from 15 to 25 cents
per can, and when an average fish will
fill twenty cans, it is not difficult to see
how some men have accumulated vast
wealth out of salmon fisheries.
Comparing equally with the wealth
that comes from the river and the sea,
the orchard and the farm, may be placed
the product of the forest. The vast ex
tent of timber land tributary to this
region has created an industry of large
proportions, the lumber being unsur
passed in quantity or quality.
Greater, however, than all the;e are
the' vast areas of rich mineral wealth
that abound in this vicinity. Samples
of these rich minerals were sent to the
eminent chemist Dr. F. I. Vanden-
burgh, of Buffalo, N. Y., who pro
nounced them genuine and made a most
favorable report thereon. large de
posits of Gevserite or pure Silica of
superior quality for glass making have
been fonnd, also other deposits of the
essential requirements for glass and
pottery industries. As one of the re
sults of Dr. Vandenbergh's analysis, a
company capitalized at $250,000, will
erect a factory at Grand Dalles, Wash
ington, and begin the manufacturing
trade. The fruit-jars and bottles sup
plied to the Pacific coast are now ob
tained from Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Buffalo, Indiana and other distant
points, while the window glass is im
ported from Belguim, with a small
quantity coming from Pittsburg. The
expenses of transportation together with
enormous duties and breakage greatly
increases the cost of these commodities,
so it may be safe to conclude that the
Columbia River Glass Works will event
ually be considered a decided advantage
to consumers in- California and the
Pacific Northwest.
Thus with elements which enter into
great manufacturing enterprises, and
with unlimited resources in fisheries,
orchards and vineyards, agricultural
and grazing lands, this part of the
country is possessed of structural
material without limit. Above all, the
advantages are here which add zest ' to
the acquirement of wealth and pleasure
to its enioyment healthful and agree
able climate, the finest and grandest
scenery under the canopy of ethereal
blue, unlimited opportunities for diver
sified enjoyment, and all the benefits
that can be obtained from advanced
educational, social and political institu
tions. What more can man desire?

Cheyenne, July ' 21. Judge Blake
yesterday decided on the motion for a
change of venne, and selected Laramie
county as against Albany, in which he
lives, for the trial of forty-three men
who went, into Johnson county April to
annihilate the rustlers, and who did kill
two men. The judge says he is satisfied
that in his county the feeling of the
populace is so intense against the raid
ers that it would be necessary for them
to prove themselves innocent, instead of
having the prosecution adopt the course
of establishing the guilt of the accused.
He adds that, in Albany county, fully
300 of the 1,200 citizens eligible for jury
service have disqualified themselves by
voting for condemnatory- resolutions at
indignation meetings soon after the
rustler war. The prisoners are highly
elated over the outcome of their first
legal tilt in Cheyenne. They have many
friends who will work hard for them.
Unless a special term is called, the case
will go over to the November term. In
the latter event an effort will be made
to have' the men liberated. Johnson is
a small county of limited resources, and
is already alarmed over the expenses of
the prosecution. They have paid at
torneys fees of 110,000 so far, and other
items at hand in prospect are appalling.
Cattle stealing goes on jest the same.

hearing in the case of Burgess McLuckie,
of Homestead, under arrest for partici

this morning, and the prisoner released
on $10,000 bail. Judge McGee held that
McLuckie'a offense was not murder in
the first degree, therefore was bailable.
Counsel for the defense sought to- have
the bail of those for whom warrants were
out fixed, saying they would then sur
render themselves. - The judge declined
to fix the bail, saying soma of the men
wanted might be guilty of murder in the
first degree.

. ADOPTCO BY SIOUX.
Thrilling Experience of Fonr
W Mta-
' Men Among Indiant.-
. Mrs. Grace Dexter, daughter of county
cle'-k Croesen, sends the following nar
rative to her father. As Chas. Mellette
was once a resident of The Dalles, the
incidents will be of local interest. It is
iu the form of a dispatch from Pierre,
South Dakota, July 10th and reads as fol
lows: "Fuller particulars of the cap
ture of a party of four, consisting ot
Charles Mellette, clerk of the federal
court and a son of Gov. Mellette; S. B.
Wallace, superintendent of Pierre street .
railway and electric light works, Nelson' 1
Gardner, foreman of th Wells Moreaa
river horse ranch, and a cow Iwy gnard
calllcd Broncho Bob, by the Indian
police, , were brought hem today by
special agent Thompson to the governor.
He is incensed at the treatment" accorded
the party, and especially us they had a
safe conduct across the reservation
signed by Secretary Noble. The party
started from Pierre July 2d, their desti
being Wells' horse ranch, 150 miles
northwest.
"AVhen the party reached the Chey
enne river on the reservation border,
where old Big Foot's hostile camp is
located, a party of painted savages
swooped down on them led by a uni
formed Indian policeman, Their, arms
and camp equipage were taken from,
them and the prisoners were bound and
confined in an Indian tepee nntil the
next day, when they started for the
Cheyenne river agency, 100 miles away. .
Mellette, who was badly sunburned
through being several days on the
prairie, was at first taken for an Indian,
bearing a strong resemblance to a hos
tile called Crooked Leg, but as he could
not talk Sioux the mistake was soon
discovered, and he then was the butt of
savage jokes.
"The. agency was reached after a se
vere journey and the four men were
thrown in a guardhouse and stayed there
over night, along with several renegade
Indians locked up for cattle stealing. .
Finally the case was brought to the at
tention of the agent, wholibernted them,
and they returned to Cherry creek to re
gain their wagon, hoi ees and property.
The pass that Secretary Noble sent came
by wire and was writteii on a telegraph
blank. It was regarded by the Indian,
police as so much useless paper, us they
knew no pusses except such as are made
out on agents' letter heads.- Gov. Mel
lette wired the secretary for the pass
and had no fears that it would fail to see
the party safely across the reservation.
A big Indian congress was in session,
at tire agency when the prisoners were
brought in. When their captivity was
made known to agent Frank Willibridge
he summoned twelve of the leading
chiefs who compose the supreme court
of the council of the Sioux nation, and
had the prisoners brought before them.
An interpreter explained who the pris
oners were, and on the information the
chiefs swelled with dignity and asked
for a pow-wow. - The spokesman,' Chief
Charger, said :''' ,
' The Great Father, by his treaty, has -given
us this reservation. He says we
can keep all white men from coming on
it or crossing over it. . It is the last land
the Sionx has left that he can call his
own. Not even the white chiefs, Nobie
and Mellette, can sav who can come on
our lands ; no, not the great father at
Washington, but we want no irouuie.
We will let these four go and will give
them the freedom of ourlands.?' A feast
was then prepared for the late prisoners,
and, according to Indian custom where
great friendship is to be evinced, Mel
lette, Wallace, Gardner and Broncho
Bob were adopted into the Sioux tribe
and let go.

Alt Klght Again.
Telegram. Congressman Hermann
exhibited fairness and liberality yester

or rather against an adverse proposition.
The vote stood 122 to 110, and Mr. Her
mann was one of the- minority, but, so
far as we can judge, his vole was cast
the right way.; There are occasions
when it is more., creditable and honor
able to be iu a minority than with the
majority.

them because it's helped thousands like
them. "Another patent-medicine ad

You pay your druggist $1.00 for a bottle.
Yon read the directions, and yon follow

willing to oe sick when tne remedy's
near at hand.
