The sheriffs, police, constables and
-ity marshals of the' entire northwest
re keeping a careful lookout for a little
girl named Alma Gladys Miller, who was
. stolen from her home in Summerville,
Union county, Or., September 2d, pre
sumably by a straying band of gypsies.
I. W. Miller, the father of the child, has
. cent circulars out to every detective
agency and all the general authorities
have been notified to search for the
bild. Alma Gladys Miller is d years
f age ; has light-brown closely shingled
hair, hazel eyes, and is three feet nine .or
ton inches tall. Among other distin
guishing features are: A small scar on
the back of her head, a small scar on the
nose, which is visible when the little
girl is either laughing or playing, and
ahe has also a scar on her left hip caused
hy a burn.
On the day of Alma's disappearance a
-traveling circus of small dimensions;
ananaged by a crowd of gipsies, gave
how at Summerville, and Alma went
with a lot of other children, to see it.
As she was a very bright child, the at
tention of the gypsies was naturally di
jected toward her, so when they started
to leave they had no trouble to induce
the little girl to take a ride in a red
wagon, brass mounted, with gaudy pic
tares painted all over the bed. The
gypsies numbered 15 peop e, four men,
three women and eight children.
- From Summerville the band went to
Moscow, Idaho, to which point the anz
ious father traced them: but at that
point Alma was transferred to another
band of gypsies, who were traced to
Pataha. Wash., some time later. Since
then no trace of the party has been
secured, but it is believed the original
band will attempt to recover possession
f the child at an early date. Sheriff
Wa4& is in receipt of a circular dated
If ovemher 30, and will have all his deou

A Train-WreeUer Captured.
Los Angeles, Dec. 2. A tramp giv
ing the name of F. R. Warner has been
arrested on suspicion of having' caused
the wreck of the overland train on the
Santa Fe road near Monrovia a few days

that Warner placed a rock on the track

complices intended to wreck the over-

Owe a Reparattoa.
Fossil Journal. It is amusing to read
in the Portland dailies descriptions of
. the terrors Cal Hale, Geo. Zacbary et al
are to the inhabitants of Eastern Oregon.
We didn't know that we were living un
der a veritable sword of Damocles, and
always looked upon Hale as a good,
' peacable, law-abiding citizen, and on
Zacbary as -about average. Seriously,
we think the Oregonian and Telegram
have had Sullivan turning the crank and
grinding out the copy which exalts him
self at the expense of belter men, long
enough. They should now cast the
thief-catcher adrift and let the other
side have a turn. These papers have
done a number of innocent men a great
wrong. It may have been unintentional,
but they owe a reparation to the injured
'parties just the same.
After Hoim Thieves
Fossil Journal. Last Sunday morn
ing three strangers" started from Lone
Bock with about twenty head of horses
which they had gathered in that vicin
ity, going towards Haystack.- Frank
Crawford met them and cut out of the
bunch half a dozen of his father's horses,
also four head belonging to Mr. Wick.
More of Wick's horses being missing,
Squire Clark issued a warrant for the
arrest of the thieves, and Otho Ward,
Dud Flynn, George Perry and several
wtners startea out w capture mem.
.They came up with two of the men near
Haystack, viz., Gid Rains and a German
aamed Murphy, and placed them under
.arrest. They said that their companion
had gone on with the horses, and part
of the posse, armed with Winchesters,
at last accounts were on the trail.

From the Portland Dispatch.)'
The convict labor question will have
to be decided by the next legislature.
There are many employments to which
these men could be put and not. inter
fere with honest free labor, and one
the best suggestions we have seen is
pnt them out to make good roads. But
there is another important enterprise
which should be undertaken by the
legislature, and that is, the building of
the portage road from CehIo to Thi
Dalles.
The labor of these convicts should be
utilized in building this road, and the
state would only be out the material
This road is a state necessity, and the
people of that section cannot delay the
matter until the slow process of con
gressional appropriations will give them
relief. They have prayed for deliver
ance long enough, and they will expect
tbe next legislature to put some tangi
ble project in operation by which they
may secure an open river. The state
can furnish the labor, and it will be but
a small expense for the rolling stock and
otber material. .
From tbe Pendleton Tribune.
The Tribune acknowledges receipt
Of
a letter from Linus Hubbard of The
Dalles, together with large photos of
steamboats loading freight at The Dalles,
Mr. Hubbard is greatly interested in the
completion of the Cascade locks and
open river, and the concentrated action
to the people of the Inland Empire to se
cure cheap transportation to tide water
Mr. Hubbard says: "In view of the
certainty of the completion by contract
of the long delayed work at the cascade
locks, it seems very fitting that the
friends of an open Columbia and tribu
taries should speedily organize in some
manner for concentrated action, having
iu purport the bringing about of govern
inent legislation and appropriation
needed to open to navigation the Co
lumbia and tributaries east of the Cas
cade Locks."
This is certainly a very laudable enter
prise, and one affecting the entire com
monwealth of Eastern Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. , The Tribune will be
bappy and willing at all times to receive
and publish suggestions,. arguments or
plans that may be submitted by parties
to secure an open river.
The project should receive the support
of every citizen of tbe Inland Empire
and should receive a full discussion from
every one. The sentiment in its lavor
should be wide-spread and outspoken,
and the prime endeavor of our legis
lation in the future iu this section should
lie to secure an open river and chea;
water transportation from the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho to tide
water and thence by the ordinary cheap
steamship transportation to the world
Card of Thanks.
Wapinitia, Or., Nov. 29th. I desire
through Thr Chroniclk to thank most
heartily our good friends in The Dalles
who have surprised us with some very
beautiful lamps, which now ornament
and laminate our newlv-erected Indian
mission chapel at Sinnemasho. The
lamps were quite a mystery to us for
some time, as we had no idea from
whom they came. We have just learned,
however, that it was through the special
efforts of the Misses Clara and Florence
Sampson of The Dalles that the funds
were gathered and the lamps were pur
chased for us. With few of the friends
who aided in this matter have we any
personal acquaintance, except the two
named above, but be assured, dear
friends, you have given us more good
cheer in our work here than you may be
able to undrstand. We held services
for the first time in our mission chapel
on Sabbath Nov. 27th, when these lamps
together with some very beautiful
fiowers sent by Mrs. Sampson, added
very much to our comfort and pleasure.
The day was a beautiful one, the attend
ance .and interest good, the sermon by
Kev. J. Alter of the Warm Springs
Indian mission, most appropriate, and
all felt it was good to be there.
We. desire to extend a most cordial
invitation to the friends who have man
ifested their interest in our work and to
all others to give us a call the first op
portunity they -aay have. That these
lamps may long aid in bringing light to
this , benighted people, and that our
Divine Lord may bless yon all, dear
friends, is the desire and prayer of your
sincere friend J. A. Spebr.

of this kind adds emphasis to tbe fact
that all the territory north of that river
Should be annexed to Multnomah
county, to which it is contiguous and of
which it is. naturally, topographically
and commercially already a part. The
sentiment in favor of this is growing
steadily among the people living on
both sides of the present line, and es
pecially those south of it, who would be
the most favorably effected by the

deeply interested. : v , 4

Denver, Dec. &. Whatever railroad
fares may be charged to Chicago fair
next year, it is evident that the work
men and farmer are to be favored. ' As
low a rate as $3 for a trip of 458 miles for
this class of travel was suggested at the
meeting of general passenger agents Sat
urday and was received without dissent.
The suggestion was significant, coming
from the source it did, because passen
ger agents are not supposed to be philan
trophists. The explanation came later
when a member of the -convention re
marked that the wage-earners and farm
ers control legislation nowadays and
must be hauled cheap, regardless of
profits. While tbe ultimate charge for
transportation may not be as low as out
lined, it is cause for congratulation that
-railroad representatives are so obviously
aware of the public demand for reason
able fares.
The proposal to. eharge full rates on
eastern trunk lines for first-class traffic
is open to criticism. A passenger may
want to travel in comfort, and yet may
think himself unfairly treated if he is
charged the vld price when all other
classes- of travel have reduced fares.
That is a matter, however, that ' will
rijht itself. If the figures keep travel
on the nrst-ciass trains, rates will go
down. To the outside observer it would
seem that the eastern lines witb their
short haul and densely populated terri
tory could afford to make as low rates as
the Pacific coast lines with reversed
conditions. Yet Pacific . coast people
will have the round trip for one fare.
and that on first-class trains. Tbe con
vention had no power to act finally on
passenger matters. The various associa
tions have yet to promulgate official
tariffs. The success of the exposition
depends on those tariffs.
" In Striking; Contest.
Oregonian. A striking contrast and one
not entirely insignificant as to the reason
why the churches are in many cases
losing ground, has been seen the past
week in the presentment of religious in
telligence in the daily press. Side by
side in many of the leading papers have
been presented two articles of news that
came under this head. The one has re
lated to tbe Presbyterian church in its
dealings with ministers charged with
disloyalty, to the creed. The other has
concerned tbe Salvation Army and
its methods of evangelical work. A rep
resentative body of each of these two
organizations is in session. The busi
ness of the Presbyterian gathering in
Cincinnati is the trial of Rev. Henry
Preserved Smith of Lane theological
seminary, for heresy. I he Salvation
Army congress has interested itself in
such themes as these : "What shall be
done to increase and strengthen the
work in the smaller towns? How to
lessen the number of drunkards in the
country? How to ameliorate the con
dition of the poor in the crowded tene
ments?" There is as much difference
between these subjects under considera
tion as between darkness and light, yet
both organizations march under the
banner of the cross. No theologian is
needed to tell the world which of them
follows more closely the example of the
Christ who went about doing good, since
he who runs may read.
