The parties engaged in killing deer
about the forks of the river are doing so
deliberately, knowing it to be against

when the next grand jury meets every

can lie procured will be prosecuted.
The deer are poor, unfit for food, and on
account of the deep snow are helpless.
Thoir killing is wanton cruelty and will
no doubt be punished as it should by
tho guilty ones being sent to jail for
from six months to a year. Glacier.

CUT A CHANNEL.
Tha lUg-alator Eocooatara Troable
with am tea Garg-a.
The sound of the steam whistle on the
Regulator was a welcome one yesterday
morning, and a short time later she
steamed down the river. Arriving at a
point just below Klindt's, and this side
of where the Baker is anchored, a huge
ice floe was encountered, triangular in
shape, the base line being marked by
the east and the apex closing up to the
west shore of the river. The crew, with
axes, chopped off sufficient for a pae
sageway, and the Regulator arrived at
the cascades without further event.
Returning, the same point wa reached
about 5:20 p.m. The river was again
found to lie closed, and it was decided to
convert the boat into a battering ram.
Chunks of ice as large as the boat itself
were detached in this way, in each case
the mass rising a matter of two feet with
a buoyancy showing that the depth was
tremendous. Where narrow strips were
cut, the width was shown by the ice
turning on its side. These chunks were
about 15 feet through. After six hours
of fighting for a passageway in thi man
ner an entrance wa finally effected and
at 11:30 the Regulator steamed up to
her dock, none the worse for her ex
perience, other than the effaccment of
some paint off her forward hull.
This morning she went below as usual,
the gorge having all gone down in frag
ments, as a result of the loosening near
the point.

Tha Koplta.
The wrecked steamer Bon its, which
was carried down the Columbia from
Bridal Yeil by the ice last week, was se
cured a tew mile below that point and
safely moored to the bank, where she
will remain for the present. The Ockla
hama, which went out to save the de
relict, was caught in the ice, and the
Reed had to go to her rescue. In the
meantime the Bonila drifted in shore,
and some farmer in that vicinity put a
line to her and hauled her in. The
wreck will eventually be brought to
Portland and the upper works removed.
The engines, boiler and smoke stack
were brought down soon after the wreck,
and i towed away in the boneyard.
Tha Medal Canteat.
Another Demorest medal contest
takes place tomorrow night at the court
house. These entertainment are of a
high class and are awakening wide
spread interest all over the country.

great educator and the end ia view is
purely charitable. The receipts will be
used for the benefit of the free reading
room of The Dalies, an institution which
lessens dissipation and crime by remov
ing in a measure temptation, substitut
ing for cards and drink healthful litera

Arrangements are being made this
spring to set out a large number of acres
of Italian prunes in the vicinity of The
Dalles. This for several reasons: First,
there is no better climate or soil on the
earth for prunes. Second, Easteru Or
egon prunes are preferred in eastern
markets to any other prunes. Again,
because It pays better than any other
crop, and there is no dunger of over pro
duction, for there is about 100,000 tons
consumed in the United State every
year and only about 18,000 tons raised.
Nearly, if not all of this production is
raised on the Pacific coast, and now is
the time to set out prune orchards for
the coming summer. The ground will be
full of moisture, from the abundance of
snow and rain that we have had this
winter. Another thing of importance
must be taken into consideration. Young
prune trees have never been as cheap as
they are now, and may never bo again,
for the nurseries In the Willamette val
ley had an over production last year and
can be got very cheap. Every acre in
Wasco county suitable for fruit should
be set out as soon as possible, for there
will always be a good demand for good
fruit. Rim Rock,

Charles Tipton and James C. Taylor,
from Liverpool, Eng., are at the Colum

where they will work on the ranch of
Mr. Fletcher. They were eleven days
on the voyage across the pond. On the
supposition that a chickling appears
strange to a duckling as a duckling to a
chickling the reporter asked: "Do you
not notice a difference in dialect since
coming west?" "Well, not much, just a
bit of a twang, you now."

man. The boys were all glad to get
back on the work train. They say
Viento is not the most desirable place
on earth to live, but they prefer it to
work on the Sandy.
Engine 547, which was wrecked at
Reed's geyser some time ngo, is out
again. She made her first trip the mid
dle of the week, manned by Engineer
Evans and Fireman Garson. She ia a
noble looking engine, and to look at her
you would not think her to all appear
ance a total wreck so short a time ago.
This completes the list of passenger
engines of the same build on the flowery
division, well equipped and well manned
with as noble a set of fire boys as you can
scare up on any road.

WORD OF COMFORT.
As with saddened hearts we rather,
Round the form of oue so dear;
Rudely taken from our circle,
W hat has left our hearts to cheer.
Kindly words In vain are spoken,
Mingled tears assuage not grief;
Lovely dowers and sweetest mublc
To our hearts brtrif no relief.
For we see our loved one lying
Hlent iu death's cold embrace;
And where 'ere we look with sadness,
We behold his vacant place. ,
In oar hearts one vital question,
Which with words we dare uot frame;
On It all our hopes are centered,
(Shall we ever nieet again?
Who can answer this great question,
Only oue, our heart replies:
He who burst death's bands in sunder,
lis who reigns above the skies.
From the book by God inspired,
Come these words our hesrts to cheer;
Mnrvel not, the hour Cometh,
Wheu the duad shall ail appear.
For our Iird will come in triumph,
And the trump of (iod proclaim
Liberty for all earth's captives,
Life for those whom death has slain.
Then the dead in Christ 'tis written,
Shall be rniei no more to die;
And with those who have longer waited,
Meet their Saviour In the sky.
Fledge of (iod, a resurrection.
This alone our hearts can cheer;
And we hall with Joy the tidings,
That the day is almost here.

that such an enjoyable evening would
not occur twice in a life time.
TRIAL8 OF HOMESTEADERS- '
A C'aaa Deterring f Hympathjr aaxft
Aaalataaaa.
"Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us
all a farm," but to many homesteader
the blessing is a dubious one, and too
often a deserving man, overcome with
the burden of supporting a family, at the
same time expending. his energies in de
veloping his place, fencing, clearing and
plowing virgin land, sowing, tending,
reaping littleor nothing the first harvest,
money constantly outgoing, credit ex
hausted, nothing coming in, too often
the burden proves greater than he can
bear, and he succumbs to a dire fate that
in the beginning promised so much.
Bright prospects of a happy home,
shaded with beautiful trees, well-filled
burns, stock grazing on the hillsides,
children swinging in the orchard, all
fade as a dream before the present reality
that he has failed, has devoted his best
energies to naught, poorer than when he
began !
Last fall a family consisting of bus
band, wife and child, Custer, by name,
came from Astoria, and settled on upper
Mill Creek, about nine miles distant
from The Dalles. When the family ar
rived here they were spoken to by Mr.
Fisher. Asked by him whero they
would stop he was told that he did not
know, that he was destitute of means.
Mr. Fisher invited them to his house,
where they stopped previous to moving
to their homestead.
Nothing was heard of them, until in
midwinter, when the cold and snow was
at the height of its fury, Mr. Custer ar
rived in town, his feet being clothed
only in gunnysacks, and appealed for
aid to Judge Blakeley. His tale was
pitiful. His family were destitute, and
for want of sufficient food, his wife and
child had first become poor, then weak,
and were now actually starving. Im
mediate help was given and for several
weeks and up to the present time, but
not perhaps sufficient. The poor woman
is now in a deplorable condition. She
is sick from the treatment he lias under
gone, and connot recuperate until she i
supplied with proper food and medicine.
Custer has been unable to find work,
here, but states a willingness to do any
thing. Here is a case deserving of aid, and
no doubt our kind-hearted people will
see to it that the family will have no
further need of the necessities of life.
The Dalles people are noted for their
charity.
Degenerated.
To one who does not occupy a judicial
position it would seem to be good com
mon sense "to make the punishment fit
the crime" in the case of those selling
