Wheat is bringing a better price here,
without any apparent cause for it, as the

corresponding ratio. The Wasco ware

this morning announcing the death of
his brother Thomas Martin, at Pan
Francisco ycBterday morning, of heart
disease. Mr. Martin reeided in Oregon
from 1S80 to 18S8, being in business in
Portland most of that time, and was
well known throughout the Northwest,
Having been in the best of health his
death was entirely unexpected.
Water was turned into the Bull Run
pipe line at the head works at 10 a. m ,
Monday, at about half the full volume.
As there was a considerable quantity of
water already in the pipe, it was ex
pected that the water would reach the
Mt. Tabor reservoir lust evening. An
examination for leaks has been made
along a portion of the line, and it is
probable that a more critical examina
tion will be made as soon as the lull
pressure is on, and all leaks found will
be attended to before the water is allowed
to run into the reservoir at full head.

A somewhat curious incident lately
happened at the power house of the
Electric Light company in this city. Of
course a large quantity of oil is used on
the bearings of the powerful 250-horse
power machinery. The wastage of oil,
being run off, has by chance settled on
top of the water in an old well, and if
was discovered that about two barrels ol
this oil, after being filtered, could be
used again on the machinery. In fact

The case of Fredenhurg against Fran

of the state against Wm. Williams was
argued this morning and the motion
overruled. Williams was then sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary. Judge
Hradshaw was strictly impartial, giving
him the same sentence that Egan, bis
partner got.
Last night was the coldest of the sea

FORTY CAliS OF WOOL
WHAT A IIONTON NfrWHI-ArKIt
KAY OK IT.
II. Khrr.ir AfttonUliee lloatun l'..le
With attl of Wa'
County Wocil.
Very rarely, if ever, has there !oen so
large a lot of wool exhibited in one on
pile in Boston as It has been cur privi
lege to examine this week in ti.e ware
house of Messrs. Denny, Rice it Co. in
Boston. Certainly it may be truthfully
said that never had a line of Oregon wool
of such magnitude been on sale In any
one exhibit In-fore, and this great quan
tity of wool nearly three-quarters of
1,000,000 pounds arranged and dis
played upon a single floor of a warehouse
designed exclusively for wool, constitute
a sight which probably could not be wit
nessed in any city of the United States
except Boston.
This wool is most remarkable for its
superior condition, its length of staple
and strength of fibre, and is an example
of what may be done under proper and
favoring conditions in our great sister
state of the Northwest. Much of it is
combing wool, not to be. surpassed by
the best grown Australian.
WKI.I.-HHKI) wool..
For all characteristics which manu
facturers appreciate, except of course
extreme fineness of fibre, we do not see
how this wool can be excelled by the
produ.-t of any wool-growing section.
Perhaps we have been too apt to regard
the wools of Eastern Oregon as lacking
in "blooded qualities" (which term those
will understand who are familiar with
wool), but an examination of this line
will dissipate any prejudice one may
have had in this respect.
This shipment of wool belongs to J.
H. Sherar, Esq., of Sherar Bridge, Wasco
county, Oregon, one of the pioneers of
that section who went there in early
dnyg when Indians held almost exclu
sive possession, who by his energy and
enterprise has done much to develop the
country, and ti forward the wool-growing
industry of the Northwest.
CAKEFIL l-EESONAT, EXAMINATION.
Mr. Sherar's own clip of nearly 100,
000 forms a portion of the above de
scribed line. The balance is all of care
fully selected clips purchased by him.
Following the shipments East each
season (this year comprising some forty
cars) Mr. Sherar makes the trip to Bos
ton, where he gives peisonal and most
careful attention to the different clips as
they are opened. Not a bag passes the
grader's hands that he does not see, and
in this way he is able to report intelli
gently to his constituents as to the
merits or demerits of their respective
shipments, and give them the best in
formation to be obtained as to how to
make their wool most acceptable to the
manufacturer.
This lot of wool is the product of con
siderably more than 100,000 sheep.
Previous to the recent tariff agitation,
this wool would have brought in a
scoured condition, (2.1a'S65c. for fine,
G0:"t2c. fur No. 1, and 55(iI57cfor No.
iouay, tiiese graiJes range at an
average of 35c. per scoured pound. A9
this reprs??'Hs an average decline of
about 25 cents per scoured pDund, and
the 800,000 pounds or mora in the grease
represents about 300,000 scoured pounds,
it follows that the growers must accept
$75,000 less loi this lot of wool than
they would have received before the late
decline in prices.
the sheep's natural habitat.
The section of Oregon from which
this wool came is unsuited for miscella
neous agriculture, and is a normal habi
tat for sheep. Hence Mr. Sherar is
naturally a republican and protectionist,
and not lriendly to the doctrine of free
raw materials, and sees in free wool
only destruction to wool growing indus
tries In the United States. Neverthe
less, in the hope of a speedy return to
the protective policy, he will stand by
his sheep and w ill increase his flock by
raising all of his lambs the present year.
Mr. Sherar leaves next week, with his
wife, who always makes the eastern
trip with him, for his extensive estate
near The Dalles.
For Adjutant General.
Lieutenant Charles E. Roblinof Salem,
is mentioned as the probable successor
to Adjutant General Mitchell. We have
no acquaintance with Mr. Roblm, but
have no doubt that he is tlie upright and
capable gentleman his friends claim him
to be. In spite of this wo do not believe
Mr. Roblin will get the appointment.
Geography is against him. Salem has
the governor and that ought to be
be enough. Besides we have up here in
Eastern Oregon a man w ho was and is
evidently intended for that office ; a man
who saw years of active service, who is
thoroughly posted on military matters
and one whom Eastern Oregon almost
unanimously pushes foiward for the
place. That man is Capt. John W.
Lew is, and we defy the "Iird" to find
a better.
William. Found Guilty.
The jury in the case of the State
against Wm. Williams, w ho was charged
with stealing 110 penknives from the
store of Mays & Crowe, brought in a
verdict last night of guilty, but recom
mending the prisoner to the mercy of
the court. The testimony was to the
effect that Williams was seen on the

THE RELIABLE FIRM.
outside of the etore early in the morn
ing, one witness testifying that he
heard him say to the man on the msido
of the store, James Egan, "For God's
sake come out of there, you will get in
trouble; people are going by here all
the time." Williams claims that he is
a cook; that he met Egan up country
and they came in on a freight train to
gether; that they separated, and after
an hour or so, as it got daylight, he
came down town to see if he could strike
a job at some of the restaurants; that
in passing Mays A Crowe's store he saw
Egan helping himself to the knives in
front of the w indow, and that he spoke
to him as the witness described, and
that he had nothing to do with the rob
bery. Egan, who pleaded guilty, corrobo
rated Williams' testimony, and the
jury's "recommendation to the mercy of
the court" shows that some of them at
least hud doubts as to his guilt.
Dr. Wallace Under Oath.
Rev. George B. Wallace, of the First
Congregational church, has been sub
penaed to appear before the grand jury,
it is understood, to give evidence in re
gard to gambling and gambling houses.
In his sermon on "Gambling in Port
land and the Parties Responsible for It,"
delivered lust Sunday, he stated that a
gambler in prison said that District At
torney Hume had selected him out of a
party of three or four for conviction,
simply because he had fought Hume at
the recent election. He also stated that
he understood the gamblers pay $3,500
per month into the hands of a gambler
named Williams, who turned tho "pot"
over to some one, who guarantees them
protection. He also wanted to know if
the district attorney or any other person
has the right to make new laws to pro
tect gamblers.
It is probable that Mr. Hume is de
sirous of procuring the authority for the
alleged information possessed by Rev.
Wallace in regard to gamblers and gam
bling, and to ascertain who the prisoner
is who made such a grave charge
against him. His object seems also to
bo to ascertain how much of the broad
assertion made under the shelter of the
pulpit can be substantiated on examina
tion under oath. Oregon Ian.

PERSONAL MENTION.
The cuse of the State against Win.
Williams was on trial this morning,
with H. H. Riddell for the defense.
James Egan was arraigned this morn
ing to answer to the indictment against
him charging him with stealing pocket
knives from Mays & Crowe, and entered
a plea of guilty. He will receive his
sentence Friday.
In the case of Peter Godfrey against
W. S. Myers and T. J. Driver, the de
fault as against Driver was let aside and
he w as allowed to appear and answer.
The case of the Portland Savings
Bank against P. T. Sharp and others
was on trial before a jury yesterday
afternoon. The jury brought In a sealed
verdict giving plaintiff judgment for S0,
attorney's fee, which was really the
only mutter in dispute.
The grand jury yesterday evening re
turned two true bills, one against James
Egan, charging him w ith stealing and
carrying away 140 pocket knives from
Mays & Crowe's store, and the other
against William Williams charging him
with the tame offense.
In publishing the list of bills allowed
by the commissioners court hist week,
we made a slight mistake. The bills for
witnesses before justice Fligg in the Root
case, about a dozen in number, were put
over until next term for tho reason that
the law only allows eight witnesses.
The commissioners were willing to pay
all the law allowed, but as they did not
know which ones to pay, the w lio.o mat
ter was returned to Justice Fligg for correction.
Wednesday
Mr. Henry Troh was in the city yess
terduy, coming from Camas Prairie.

Mr. J. P. Wehnrg of Salem leavas to

stock ranch. His family are on the way
East over the Canadian Pacific, to viBit
relatives at Osceola, Indiana.
Near Nanaene, Nov. 6ih, 1894, Mrs.
Mary A. Harris.
She was born in Marion county, Ten
nessee, in 1821 and came to Oregon in
1875. She lived a consistent member of
the Free-will Baptist church for 67
years. Her husband survives her, and
three eons and two daughters are left to
mourn her loss.
Among the charitable societies in The
Dalles, which are all doing a noble
work, perhaps less is known of the efforts
of the Women's Relief Corps than of
the others, as their work is along a dif
ferent line, though accomplishing the
same ends. They are at present busily en
gaged in preparing a box ot comforters,
clothing, literature, etc., to be sent to
the soldiers' home at Roseburg, and
yesterday about sixteen members of the
Corps met at Fraternity hall for the
purpose of having an old-fashioned
"quilting bee," onli tarrying in their
work long enough to enjoy a lunch at
noon. The box is to be sent in care of
Mr. Varney, which will no doubt reach
its destination safely, unless the Salem
ites put an injunction on it as it passes.
Yesterday Dan Malotmy and Frank
Clarke got in mi altercation, winding np
with Muloney making a savago attack
on Clarke anil dentin;; him badly.
Clarke had a warrant issued for
Maloney's arrest, but up to date it hag
not Ix-cn served on account of his keep
ing out of the way of tlie officers. We
do not know w hat the row started aliout
but as we hear the story it does not re
dound to Maloney's credit. The trial of
the case may bring out the full particu
lars of the affair, but at present no one
seems to know an) thing concerning the
matter, except that Muloney gave Clurke
a cruel ami brutal leating.
