Even a boy should realise that it is a great wrong to inflict unmerited punishment upon a dumb brute which merely circumstance makes him the master of. One having such a disposi tion is either tUoughtless or brutal, and so laws are made to hedge against the vicious and the ignorant. There is a k in Oregon against cruelty to ani- atle, punishable by fine and imprison Mt, and the youngster in mind would ict look near so smart behind the bars m whipping the horse that others may see him prance.

Our firemen are practicing with com mendable zeal every evening. They make splendid time and expect to win one of the prizes. Twenty-five dollars a ton can be real ised for bay after paying freight by dipping to England, according to the ftcific Rural Press. D. C. Herrin has lately taken a num ber of instantaneous views along the Columbia while aboard the Regulator, which are very good. ( lias. Liuier will ship today a carload of fruit and vegetables to Tacoma, Wanh. Mr. Latier is our largest fruit dealer. The goods are all of the choicest and will be dispatched quickly by re ffiKerator car. Mesnrs. Saltmarshe A Co. shipped from their stockyards laxt night two cars of mutton sheep to Truutdale, which were brought In from Klickitat by Mr. Chaa. Kruen. Mr. Wui.Keys brought in from his range 100 heud of fut cattle last even ing and shipped them from the same yards to sound markets. This lot filled seven cars. Next Monday the election of the new board of directors of the Wasco Inde pendent Academy Is to take place, and as it Is one of the most important elec tions evor held by that institution, it behooves every stockholder to be pres ent. Several important questions will be discussed at that meeting that is of vital Interest to this city. The electric power works engine ar rived this morning direct from the hops in the east. The engine is a Ijine A Bodly Corliss and Is 225 horse power. The ponderous fly wheel baa a diame ter of 15 foet and a face of 29 inches, and weighs several tons. The main haft from which the dynamos receive their power is 10 inches In diameter. The works are expected to be completed nd in operation about the 1st of Oc-tuber. Fonr families from Nebraska Messrs. T. Houston, John A. McKellar, Rev. Meeker and Mr. 1'otts, with their fami lies, arrived a few ihtys ago and will make this section their future home. We are Informed lh.it fifteen or twenty more families will follow these person within the next sixty days. Those who have arrived are very much pleased with what they have seen and think Oregon, especially this portion of it, is superior to Nebraska or Kansas in most everything. Here they find there are no cyclones, no hall storms, no blizzards, but instead a land of plenty, health, and all the comforts that would make life enjoyable. 1 lilirwlay 'a Daily tilr Walter Itnlrlirh uwd hl rout 'lu kt' bin fair nllill dry; K hrhad llvisl tml.y ht n lUht tlavo us4d bin Mumiuer Itu. There is a greiit scarcity of sacks to handle the wheat crop, and they are very high. A reduction in wages from (2.50 to 92,'J.j caused the drillers at the Cascades to quit work recently. Forty-seven car loads of peaches were sold at auction in Ikiston on the 17th for a song. "Silver Threads Among the Gold." A number of towns in eastern Oregon have recently been visited by fakirs and a number of the unsuspecting class have been taken in. Wm, Miller ol Lane county pnt the first bops of 1H!3 on the reurket. They were purchased by Meeker, Saturday at '5 cents er pound. The river routo is the most popular one to Portland this season. The Steamer Regulator is carrying a large passenger list both ways daily. J. Folco has presented Tin CutoMixE with a case of excellent soda, manu factured by himself. There is "nothing the matter with it," and its effervescence is as lively as a Chicago zephyr. The howling and yelling which occurs every few nights in the main part of the citv np to 12 and 1 o'clock, keeping peaceable citizens from needed rest, is disgraceful, and should lie summarily stopped. The Vetoran Volunteer Firemen's Association, of Portland, w ill start for The Dalles Hunday evening. September 3d, to attend the firemen's touruament. The boys decided to go In full uniform and take their old band engine. Several more were caught on the pin racket this forenoon. They had seen the article about it in Tuc CmtoNiixe, but there was no possibility of tbeir being caught ; and in fact were very merry about it until some one pulled the string. It has been decided to go ahead with the asylum and reform school additions. The bid of J. A. Hazel (40,(H8 for the ad ditions to the reform school, and of H. C. Liebe $21,344 for the two cottages and the congregated dining ball at the asylum, will be accepted and the work will proceed at once. Salem Journal. CAUGHT BY AN INDIAN. A Tramp r.unrt la Paaeeaeloa of Bar Ktariaad Article.. 3. H. Bennett, who lives at the mouth of the Des Chutes river in Sherman county, lost a number of articles on the 17th, by the bouse being burglarized. The burglar, evidently fearing capture, concealed himself and his stolen property in an unused scow and yesterday, put ting such as he could carry in a sack, started in the direction of The Dalles. In the puck was a gun, the muzzle of which sticking out, attracted the atten tion of an Indian who at once struck him for a trade. It so happened that the Indian had frequently been at Ben nett's bouse, and knew Bennett's things almost as well as be did himself. When the sack was opened the Indian thrust his arm in and was rewarded by cutting his hand upon a stolen butcher knife. The Indian then noticed a violin, pair of shoes, hair clipper, halter and bridle, all of which he knew was Bennett's property. The thief supposed the In dian merely wanted to trade, but not so. As soon as possible he informed Sheriff Ward, and at 10 o'clock last night Deputies Pbirman and Jackson walked np the track and met him coming in, when he was promptly nabbed. He looked quite crestfallen, aud it was ap parent that he was no more looking for officers than he was bis great grand mother. Other articles stolen were a set of car penter's tools and harness, but these had been disposed of in some way and their whereabouts are not at present known. When the defendant was arraigned this morning before Justice Sohutz be gave his name as Thoa. Gilbert, and said he bad no home. He is very seedy and has every appearance of tramp. He was not represented by an attorney and was given a chance to make a statement. He said he went aboard the scow on the 13th and found the articles contained in the sack there. He let them remain un til yesterday when lie took them to where the Indian met him. Said he passed Bennett's house and was told the telegraph operator lived there andthat he had been robbed and a murder com mitted. The above statement seems wholly irrelevant to the case, and will do but little to establish Gilbert's innocence. He was remanded to jail and the case will come before the grand jury. MOSIER MUSINGS. 4'ampmeetl.g Vail Klaat Other Mew. Nate. (i round hunting is good ill the mount- ains farther back. Caiiipineeting will probably hold out 'till the early 'ti3 chicken is no mure. Geo. Sellinger has shipiied 1,000 boxes of peach plums here, w hile A. Root has sent out 1,H00 boxes to eastern markets. The prune crop is exceptionally good. There will be tons of this fruit dried and shipiied from this plae. Testimony was being taken here last week in the school district division case, lawyers Bennett and Huntington from The Dalles being present. "Hsppy on the way," are the new re cruits which are being gradually mus tered in at the carapmeeling now. Dotted here und there in a beautiful grove on Mosier creek a short distance above the county bridge are the tents of the campers. Here, saint and sinner may meet and clasp bands, for this is neutral ground for all. A platform and benches near by for the benefit of those who expound and those who listen to the scriptures are erected. Morning, afternoon and night the speakers earnestly invite those forward who will come to "partake of the water of life." The old melodious campmeeting shout, the hallelujahs and hosannahs reverber ating 'mong trees and hills causes a feel ing of reverence to come over the most indifferent, due a Creator just and good. Rev. C. M. Aleridge, evangelist, is here and laboring earnestly for the cause he champions. Twelve years ago Mr. Aleridge could not read his primer, much lees read and expound the scriptures. Those, twelve years have made a man of him. Earnestly, fluently and fearlessly he presents the cause for which he labors. His pathos move many to tears, his earnestness prove him a good man, and his fluency prove twelve years of hard study and practice. J. W. Rigby, pastor of the church, is lovingly working for the cause be thinks right. Who could do more? Evangelist Mrs. Golden, Rev. Frank Ireland and many others are also "in the harvest field." While your correspondent cannot believe .in the doctrine of destruction and damna tion, we like these people because of their earnestness. However, we believe in a Creator, just and good, who will make all things right when "the miBts have rolled away." ' Sub. Tba Government Win.. Judge Bellinger's opinion in the O. & C. forfeited land claims begins with a careful resume of the case in hand, and shows how the dispute arose, going back to the original acts passed by congress. In the next to the last paragraph of the opinion the following statement was made : "The terms of the granting act in this case are unmistakable. They provide for a continuous grant or single line of road from Portland to Astoria, with a second or branch line from a junction at Forest Grove to the Yamhill river. The theory of the government as to the continuity of these lines cannot be ruoie explicitly stated than the act states it." The final words of the opin ion are: "I conclude that the lands in the quadrant are included in the lands forfeited to the government by the act of January 31st, 1685, and such will be the decree." Judge Williams and District Attorney Mays argued the complaint for the gov ernment, and Fen too aud Bronaugh for the defendant. The defendant will probably appeal to the United States court of appeal. Caa't Get the Faper. A week ago the Moro Observer spoke of the difficulty of getting the Mount aineer and The Ciikonici.s. We did not notice the item locally, believing there may have been an excuse some how, but the Antelope Herald this week says : . "One of the best changes in post masters we know of will beuiade at The Dalles some time this fall. We do not know who will apply for the position yet, but most any one could find won derful room to improve over the present management. About once a week The Dalles Mountaineer and Chronicle (dailies) come together, and the rest of the time one comes and sometimes none at all. Very often the papers that are mailed in The Dales office do not reach us for over a week. This is unmitigated carelessness, and whoever is mixing the mail like this should be fired out in short order. Put someone in that will attend to his business properly and promptly." Foreat Fires. Section 4 of the laws of Oregon reads as follows: "Any person or persons who shall willfully set fire to any wooded country, or forest belonging to the United States, or to any person or per sons, shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and upon conviction before a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by both such (ine and imprisonment; provided that nothing herein contained shall apply to any person who in good faith sets a back fire to prevent the extension of a lire already burning. flouad Over. Richard Brookhouse et ai. were held under $200 bonds to appear before the grand jury on a charee, preferred by Horace Rice, of driving one of his horses more than ten miles from the range and claiming such animal as their property. Tentimony was given on the part of de fendant Unit he attempted to separate the animal In question from the herd in w hich it was being driven and, failing in this, tlroie it to a corral, where it was finally turned out with other animals not belonging to defendant. Naurhty Soil' Some of the naughty big boys who frequent that portion of the sidewalk in front of Sam Klein's have worked a practical joke all day to their unbounded amusement. They fixed up a dry goods box in a most inviting way for the way farer, and then maliciously engaged him in conversation, taking a most unac countable and sudden interest in his do mestic or other personal affairs. Parties they have not spoken to for a week would be hailed to share in their conversation. The secret was easily explained to each upon taking the silently proffered seat, for like truth, they would rise again, and very quickly, just as if they had just thought of the letter their wife gave them to mail ten days ago, and with a movement toward their hip pocket to see if it was still there. The action was the same, but the mo tive was different, for a pin had been in geniously inserted in the box with the business end up and its presence was al ways mora quickly felt than seen. All took the joke in good part and then waited for the next victim. Strange what makes boys so devilish. Mew Gam Law. The new ;ame law, now in force, pro hibits the sale of any part of the deer at any time. On page 91 of the Session Laws of 1893 the new law can be found. In reference to this matter it reads: "Every person who shall at any time after the passage of this act, sell or offer for sale the b'e or horns or meat of any deer, either in a fresh, salted, dried, smoked or jerked condition, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." The law also fixes a penalty for the violation of this act as follows : "Every person convicted of a violation of any provision of this act shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than 300, or im prisonment in the county jail of the county where the offense was committed for not less than three months, or both such fine and imprisonment. Half of such money collected for fines for viola tion of the provisions of this act shall be paid to the informer, and the rest into the county treasury of the county in which the offense was committed. Klaahed and Kicked. "Hon." J. E. Cottingham (the title is given all who bave been in at Salem) was sentenced for thirty days by the recorder for being drunk and disorderly. If the prisoner receives no severer pun ishment he may thank his lucky stars. According to the testimony, while in Wiseman's saloon last night, be attacked "Rocky" Chenoweth with a knife, mak ing several distinct slashes in bis coat with the weapon, but fortunately for both not drawing blood. Cottingham was in fact Incorrigible, for while being arrested he managed to deliver a vigor ous kick upon tne person oi Aiarsnai Maloney. He was finally landed behind the bars, and was brought before the recorder this morning with the result as stated. Mora Mew. Mrs. Strong has been very sick, but is better now. Mr. Damon will move into his new residence ibis week. Mr. L. Moore is building a residence for Mr. Buckley at Grass Valley. Johnson and Adams commenced head ing M. D. Adams' grain yesterday. Heading is progressing nicely and some of the threshers will start up this week. Mr. Peddicord moved Into his new home yesterday, and the Slater Bros. have commenced work on J. B. Mowry's new residence. Mr. J. W. Peddicord's new residence is completed and makes a very pretty appearance located among ine trees in the trove west of town. The Slater Bros, know just how to finish off bouse to make it look pretty and ar tistic. Mowry's header finished harvesting for Mr. Garlick Saturday afternoon. He also harvested Mr. Boyd's and Mr. Strong's grain, averaging over thirty acres ner dav on the three crops. He is now cutting his own grain. While Frank Mowry, the 12-year-old son of J. B. Mowry, was riding after the horses yesterday, his horse stumbled and fell, throwing him off and bruising his head and side quite seriously. The shock blinded him for quite a while so he was unable to see where he was going. He is getting along nicely and will orobablv be more careful next time. Don.

In your issue of yesterday, vou pub lished an extract trom the Antelope ller ald which does me and The Dalles post office an injustice. . Supposing that The Dulles dailies ar rive in Antelojie at the irregular times stated, r which I doubt) neither the Her ald or Chronicle have anv right to as sume that the fault is in this office. This is not the first time that the Herald, without reason, has referred un favorably to this office ; nor the first by a long ways that the Chronicle has done so. And 1 deire now to state that in none of the cases mentioned by either of these papers, was tlioioast blame to be attached to this office. The thing of unfair criticism of this office has assumed the proportions of a persecution, and in order to determine who is in the wrong, I hereby defy the Antelope Herald to substantiate a single word of its adverse criticism of this of fice and demand of the Chronicle, if it believes these charges or any of the numerous other ones that it has pub lished concerning this office; that it make a formal complaint to the chief postoffice inspector at San Francisco. If any of these criticisms are made good by an impartial investigation, I agree to apologize and amend my ways. If these papers fail to make complaint or an investigation shows that this office was censured without reason, I should expect an apology from them if they were imbued with any of the instincts of gentlemen. Yours Respectfully, M. T. Nolan. We are glad to note the fairness of the postmaster as indicated throughout his letter, though feeling that there is no call for a challenge. We are not responsible for what the editor of the Antelope Herald may write, and as for anything Tub Chronicle may have said in the past, we are prepared to substantiate any assertion made, whenever the item shall be specifically indicated, so that we may intelligently proceed. It has been a great seurce of annoyance to The Chronicle for months past that sub scribers have failed to receive their papers. Every precaution has been taken in our office to render the packages secure and the addresses legible. Yet complaints have been made by the same parties several weeks in succession, which sometimes results in the loss of the subscriber or the benefit of "speak ing his mind." The Chronicle knows one thing there are irregularities and non-delivery of papers t various places on the stage routes. We make no com plaint of points touched by rail, only sujh places as Antelope, Endersby, etc. If the country postmasters are derelict, they do Mr. Nolan a great injury in directly, an additional reason why they should not be permitted to retain their positions. Firemen of Oregon. The firemen of Oregon will bold their next annual meeting in this city on the 4th of next month. The occasion will be a memorable one, and no pains is being spared to make it one of the most enjoyable of events, in which the public generally may share. All the sports will be first-class, the games and races hotly contested by the very best men in their lines Oregon can produce. In the morning there will be a parade through the principal streets of our own and visiting firemen and the mayor and prominent citizens will take part. Hose races, ball games and various sports will consume the entire day. The firemen will have a grand banquet at the con clusion of their annual meeting. A ball will be given in the evening at the Uma tilla house, and a general invitation is extended to all of our citizens to be present. Sherman County Wheat. RuruB,Or.,Aug.21, 1893. The first load of wheat of this year's crop for Sherman county was received here today from N. W. Thompson of Monkland. No price was offered and the wheat was stored with the Farmer's Co-operative Warehoiise Association. The berry is good, much better than last year, but not so plump as that of '90 and '91, though the crop is reported much larger than ever mifed in this county lcfore. Conservative estimates place the crop at 800,000 buchtls but it is placed as high as 1,000,01X1 bushels by many. This is, when the size of the country is taken Into consideration, a very large crop and the farmers of Sher man county will bo busy till the holi days. W. H. News. Notice.
