M. haatwood An exchange says it's a wise stock that knows its ovrn par just now:. Tho mills all over the country are get ting down to actual work. Senatorial windmills should accept the pointer. Before our American editors abolish the English house of lords they should practice a white on the United States senate. Forest fires in Wisconsin are said to cover over 200 square miles, and nearly $K,Ci)0.tH)O worth ot standing pine has been destroyed. Hundreds of homes bave been destroyed and families made destitute by the fire. When the glamour of newness wears itself out a little the Cherokee strip will be peopled by an industrious and intelli gent bodv of men. the sharks, thieves and g-Jtnblers will be eliminated, and the country will rank alongside of the older parts of the commonwealth. tension Commissioner Lochren's an-'-nual report shows that there are nearly a million pensioners on the rolls, the exact figures being 966,012, and a net increase during the year of 9,94-1. If all of these are securing pensions wor thily, there can be few left who deserve one. A few parsimonious ones are crying that to deport the Chinese will take a - great amount of money. Suppose it does. If they remain they will send out triple the sum every year, never to re iarn. A part of the 30 a head it takes tu export them stands a good chance of . returning, and the entire sum it takes for conviction finds its way readily into circulation. The Louisville Courier-Journal asks: " -'What are we to do with the overflow of - Anglo-i-axon land greed, now that the Cherokee outlet about the last arable lot of public land in this country is overrun by claimants from five to ten ieep?" The Louisville Times in reply suggests that we "tackle Africa, the Arctic and Antarctic cirjles, and finally tuke possesion of Symrnes' Hole.'" The Philadelphia Times notes that train robbing as a business pays best . Len carried on by small gangs. The twenty men who robbed the Lake Shore train at Kendallville bad to share a $20, 000 prize, while the four men who cap tured the train in Northern Michigan had $70,000 to divide. But there is an advantage in large gangs that the Times overlooks. A large gang is less likely to get caught. How softly and imperceptibly summer glides into autumn! A single day car ries us over from the hot indolence of August into the cool, tranquil repose of 8eptember; and then, though the heated days may return, the irrevocable Rtep has been taken, and we are in the realm of early autumn, which Keats called so aptly, "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness." It is unquestionably the intention of the ways and means committee of the present house to reimpose the duties on sugar, tea and coffee. The adoption of each a policy will furnish the national jtovernment with nearly 18,000,000 of revenue, but every dollar will be just that much added to the cost of living of the people. Not a pound of tea or cof fee, and very little sugar, is produced in the United State, but all are necessi ties and the reirn posi tion of such a tax will come home to every fireside in the land. In a short time, says the Albany (N. Y.) Journal, another mammoth locomo tive, similar to the Empire State Ex press engine, will be turned out of the . in , enops ai v esi Aiuany. inc worn oi i constructing the new engine is under : the supervision of General Foreman Watson and Chief Draughtsman Buch anan. A corps of twenty of the lst mechanics employed at the works are continually working on the engine and it is expected it will be completed be fore the winter. It is of the Buchanan tye, with water arch boiler of heavy Bessemer steel. It will be equipped with the latest improved apparatus, and will be equal, if not superior, to the Empire State Express engine No. S9-), now being exhibited at the world's fair. From a I-ouJon letter the following is gleaned anent the English house of lords: "It was to be expected that the feebleness ol age would be promineut in such a house. It was not that. It was the senilty of youth, the wreck of mid dle life, the tottering imbecility of dis sipated age that stood out all over the t riet u re. The presence o! suen intei- ilectual giants as Salisbury, Kosobery, and Day fair served but to furnish the contrast between hope and despair. The great majority of the puppets of in herited greatness would excite no emo tions beyond pity and disgust if en countered anywhere save in such gro tesque masquerading as this. English and American readers are familiar with the current caricaturing of the average British peer as a repulsive creature, with a sloping forehead and retreating chin. No general opportunity was ever offered for putting the indictment to the test until this week. It must stand. It is abundantly proved that a composite photograph of those members of the house of lords who hold their seats by inheritance, not by appointment, would be the personification of weakness, men tal, moral and physical, self-indulgence, selfishness, bigotry and intolerance." The Telegram says : Oregou woolgrowers should remember that Oregon wool never brought a better price than in 1870, when there was no protection on wool, but when there was unlimited silver coinage. After silver was demonetized in 1S73 wool began to go down, and now a protective duty of 100 cents on the pound would not bring it up again until silver is fully restored to its place as money. Tariff duties avail nothing when there is no money with which to buy the product. This would be a beautiful argument if it were true, but alas, the Telegram man is full of prunes. The highest price wool ever reached in The Dalles was in 1S76, when it brought 5.3 cents a pound. In 1S70, "when there was no protection on wool, but when there was unlimited silver coinage," wool was down to 18 cents. The St. Lonis Post-Dispatch calls at tention to the fact that a large wall paper concern in that city is about to go out of business in order to deliver its trade to the National Wall Paper com pany of New York, a newly organized trust. While it is admitted that these deals are in restraint of trade and con trary to public policy, they are becoming a rule under the present administration. The attorney general has a tender side for all trusts, and has held in the past that laws against them are unconstitu tional. With such a man occupying such a post the iniquitous trade com bine may be expected to flourish like a groan bay tree. A few of the eastern mills and mann-1 factories that have started up during the last ten days are the Bridgeport (Conn.) corset factory, Amsterdam (N. Y.) broom manufactory, Bristol (Pa.) wall paper mills, West Superior (Wis.) wagon and carriage works, Lowell (Mass.) woolen mills, P.ichmond (Ind.) nail works, Oscoda tMich.) saw mills, Mead ville (Col.) miners and the New Phila delphia (O.) wire and nail works. Alto gether this gives renewed employment to 10,000 men. THE MARKETS. ContllMoua Generally Improving The Wheat Supply of the World. Tuesday, September 20 There is a marked improvement in business; in jobbing lines there is a better inquiry. The grocery and provision trade has assumed its usual activity with enlarged orders from the interior, and dealers are wearing a smile instead of the blanched countenance of the past few months. Prices continue steady in merchandise, and also in groceries and provisions. There is no change to note in country produce. Eggs are scarce still and the market is firm at 18 to 20 cents per dozen. The market is stocked up with all kinds of vegetables and prices are nominal with the exception of cabbage, which were told yesterdav at one cent per pound. The fruit market is steady and de liveries are large for shipment to Sound and mountain markets. The Earl con signments were unsatisfactory to ship pets and they are resorting to other means for disposal which is meeting with more favor. The grain market has undergone no change that has given any encourage ment to the producer. The published reports which has been accorded to agricultural bureaus that the world's product was the shortest known for years, now seems to be all a great mis take and really the harvest for 1893 is large, and the reported deficiency to be made np is not well founded. Those who seem to know of the true situation of the world's supply and demand, say there is no reason for bullded hopes for an advance above nominal quotations on the present product of breadstuff's Just as soon as a firm tone is cabled from Europe a slight advance is experienced in American markets and in every case buyers have subsided to some shady nook, there to lie in wait for a decline, which follows in quick succession. This has been the result and is expected to continue so in a measure, during the season. Notice. All persons are warned not to purchase one check for f W to my favor through French & Co. Steve Majak. AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION. Mteelunarlea uf fne Movement Forth lit Tha llallae. Hold A mass meeting was held in K. of P. hall Sunday evening for the purpose of organising a branch in The Dalles of the American Hallway Union. This organ isation is only three months old, but on the Union Pacific system alone extends from Omaha westward to this point and it is designed to rompleto it to Portlaud. The missionaries of the movement are Mr. James Hogitn, of Ogden and Mr. U. W. Howard, of Chicago. The formor is a voung man of pleasing address, years old, who precedes Mr. Howard in speaking, telling of tho primary pnn clples of the organization, and intro' ducinz the veteran Howard to tho audience. Mr. Howard has held posi tions in the railroad employ from the lowest to general superintendent, and possessing a bright mind and retentive memory, has gleaned all there is to glean from a thirty years' continuous service, His lecture last night was over two hours long, and so entertaining is he that not the slightest restlessness was manifested hy any of his audience, those who went out before he concluded being compelled to do to to take out the 11 o'clock pass enger train. He pointed out many irregularities in the existing brotherhoods, and told how they were obviated in the American Itai'way Union. The union favors the initiative and referendum method of legislation, and includes in its niemlier- ship everyone drawing wages from railroad company. The organization has been pronounced the nearest to perleir tion of any of its kind by such men us T. V. Powderly, Eugene V. iH'bs, be sides some senators and representatives, including Mr. Voorhees. A lodge was organized at the close of the meeting and Messrs. Hogan and Howard took the train for Portland early this morning. Tramps or IneendiarieaT Mr. James Johnson reports that w hile coming in town Monday he passed the smoking ruins of Mr. Kuykeudall's house and barn, burned at an earlier hour. The Kuykendalls are absent from home and it is presumed it is the work of tramps. A fence about midway between the dwelling and a smaller building, about 20 feet distant from either, was not consumed, which gives rise to a theory that incendiaries started the fire in each building at the same time. The loss to the buildings is total and will be in the neighborhood of 1,000. A mile nearer town our informant ob served that the windows in the Floyd schoolhouse were broken, the stove 1- molished, and the contents of the build ing, consisting of a Webster's una bridged dictionary and various books, scattered in tlie roadside. As yet there is no clue to the outrages mentioned, but if the culprit is discovered it should be made tropical for him. Hood lilver fair. The citizens of Hood Kiver are going to hold a horticultural fair Friday, Sept. 29th. From indications the fair prom- ises to be a great success, and great i efforts have been nude iu that direction. I Hood liiver can raise plenty of nice things to have a successful fair all by itself, and The Dalles sends its best wishes for the success of the undertak ibg. Many of our citizens will doubt less attend and we shall expect the citi zens of Hood Kiver to reciprocate when our fair is held. Kemeuiber the date, Oct. 10th, and we also hope that the Hood Kiver fair will send its exhibits here, so that those of us who can't see them in Hood Kiver may still have a chance of beholding the wonderful fruit of Hood Kiver valley. It is expected that the Kegulator will reduce rates for the occasion. Creatiing Hock. The rock crusher was started up Mon day afternoon with Mr. M. M.Sayre, for merly of the Union Pacific shops, as engineer. The machine is a very power ful one, and the process of crushing is quite interesting to observe. As it will continue working uninterruptedly for a long time to come, curiosity seekers may gratify themselves by taking a walk to where it is located, on the hill above the brewery. Crushing is done by means of two powerful cast steel jaws which are forced together twice at each revolution of the wheel, or 320, times a minute. As it will masticate half a cubic foot each time, it will readily appear that it will not take long to pave a mile of road. There is now a force of six men en gaged in getting out rock and there is a pile of it on hand about six feet wide, three feet deep and 200 feet long, amount ing to perhaps 1,000 tons. If the crusher were removed it would not take long to open up some of our streets for travel and this should be done. Couldn't Look a Nhaep In the Face. A man looking for work, in Ohio, said to a farmer : "Can you give me something to do?" The farmer said he had some sheep to shear if he could find a man who knew how to do it. The man said he had learned the business and considered himself an expert. He was told to go to the barn where lie would find shears; and to commence shearing. After a while the farmer went to the barn to . . ..1 - The unveiling of the juvenile banner on Saturday ufternoou was quite largely attended and the exercises were a cr. ibl to tho children of the temple.

The banner was purchased by the temple, through the ell'orts uf the -ttper-iutendent, aided by the willing and hearty support of the children, Instead of being a present to the temple, as Stated in Saturday's Ciihonii'I.ic A Itlaokguartl Hheal. A contemptible little II y leaf known as the Goldendale Courier is striving to create bad blood between the two towns of The Dalles and (ioldendule. The fol lowing item convicts it : A Vancouver paper savs that rival teams were endeavoring to spike their hose before the run at the firemen's tournament, in The Dalles, Sept. 4th. The lioldendale visitors say that they were treated shamefully at that place on that occasion, and the only words of praise, for hospitality and favors in tended to visitors by The Dulles City that has been spoken or written, has been written by The lhtlles press. They think, perhaps, that self-praise is better than none. A very superficial reading of the above shows that the Vancouver paper does not say The Dalles team is guilty of the charge, while the Courier pronounces it 1 confirmation. It is no wonder that such an uoounnation as the Courier was forced to come out on the half shell, and then try and bolster up its circulation by trading it to unsuspecting farmers for wheat. To ascertain if the Courier man i?) knows anything about the tournament we will ask him what team it was whose hose hurst each time they Cold anil HlWar.

McArthtir, two of Antelope's young men, have re ceived at this point a phonograph, with which they will travel throughout this and adjoining states. The express charges on the instrument were 10. It is the latest improved and is a veritable mine of music and drollery. Their first work with it will he in the Prineville and John Day country. The Goldendnle base ball club conies out this week with a flaming declara tion of war. After a long preamble, re citing how cruelly they were treated, the document goes on to state thai the Goldendale club will consent to play their nngentlemanly (?) rivals for the sum of $100. The wording of the chal lenge is similar to some manifestoes of the anarchists. Our boys will deter mine today what action shall be taken on the matter. The runaway horses and wagon which were caught at Mr. Anderson's place be longed to Walter Semplo. He had stopped on the Mill creek road to see a sick child and while in the house the team started. By this time it was so dark that Mr. Semple thought the chase would be useless and, concluding that somebody would care for them, he started homeward afoot. The next day he located their whereabouts and was much gratified to find that no damage was sustained. The marine commerce of The Dalles was at its height last evening. Four scows heavily laden with cord wood sailed into port and, with one that was un loaded already, made fivealong the beach. The wind didn't rise till late and two of the scows came in about 10 o'clock. To those who stood on the Umatilla house porch and watched their white sails come around the jioint the sight was a pretty one. A ship under full sail is a beautiful picture and even a wood scow under a stretch of canvas is less beautiful only in degree.

Yesterday Uncle Bob Carroll met with an iicciilent that resulted in the dislocation of his wrist and a serious break of his arm between his wrist and elbow. He had mounted his riding animal, which was noted for Ids quiet disposition, Intending to ride to Mitch ell. He had gone but a few steim when the horse began to jump so wickedly it soon threw Carron to the ground, re sulting as alsive stated.

The first night a little dog rolled a burrul across the floor and a halter was tied on a horse with some mysterious knot unknown to any one except that one particular person.

George Ginstin brought into the Ore goniau sanctum Sunday a bunch of grasss and said they were the first to rieii in Oregon. The Oregonian printed the remark without comment.
