doubtful. :
Judge Bellinger has denied the in

A bad wreck happened yesterday after
noon just this side of the summit. The
engine drawing train No. 24 went into
the sand and with its tank got off tbe
track. The wind was blowing a large
sized gale and the sand drifted around
the derailed engine in such a way that it
was a very difficult matter to extricate it,
The summit is one of the worst places
on the road for sand drifts and the com
pany are put to great expense in keeping
the track clear.

eral times yesterday and whether or not

ment papers to be made out and tbe
county jail will receive another occupant.

and Hulda McCoy to J..N. Jennings,
conferring all of the b?, sec 25, tp 2 n,
r 9 e, W. M., containing 160 acres.
If this delightful weather keeps up,
The Dalles can make claims ns a sum
mer resort. The days are as cool as the
crankiest of people could wish. The
wind from the ocean comes laden with
moisture.
The season of fires along the railroad
has now commenced and in the last day
or two several have started. This morn
ing the grass and timber between here
ana Mosier were on fire in four places.
Wasco county is going to have a new
town, as surveyors are laying out a site
at 10-Mile, near Mr: Smith's place. a A
store is expected to be built and the
other adjuncts of a town will doubtless
follow in time. Just what the reason
for the new town is doesn't appear, but
may be well known to the projectors.
Jailer Fitzgerald's wards are increas
ing fast, as there are now seven inmates
in the county jvl. Lane Mahaffy, who
has been bound over to the grand jury to
await the charge of attempting to obtain
money under false pretenses, was re
ceived yesterday. Z. P. Jones has been
released on bonds till the grand jury

Tne first of a series of new Zenda
stories by Anthony Hope, author of
'The Prisoner of Zenda," will appear in
August number of McClure's Magazine.

with the charming Princess of Zenda,
Osra, and published under tbe general
title of "The Heart of the Princess
Osra.";
A new Jungle story by Rudyard Kip
ling, in McClure's Magazine for August,
will describe a remarkable stratagem
practiced by Mowgli and the wise python
Caa against the merciless Red. Dogs of
tbe Dekkan, and an - all-night fight
wherein the Red Dogs were vanquished
by Mowgli and the Free People the
wolves. Tbe story will be fully illustrated.
The militia boys drilled last nigbt in
the new armory. . With such elegant
quarters there should be another militia
company formed in Tbe Dalles. No one
questions the good of such an organiza
tion and there is plenty of goou material
from which to select a good company.
Besides the good resultant from military
discipline the social feature is also a very
pleasant one and with two companies a
good natured rivalry would exist which
would stimulate both ; companies' to
greater effort. The militia should have
a large part in the social life of the town
next winter.
The Regulator was loaded full this
morning and her appearance suggested
the flood days of last summer, when all
the business was done by water. Tbe
passenger list was quite large while the
lower deck was crowded with 150 bales
of wool and a large cargo of miscellan
eous freight, including fruit for Portland
and flour for way points. The baggage
and outfits of the campers added to the
amount of freight.
Mr. Hubert fiodeers of Portland is in
the city. He represents tbe great Brad'
street Commercial Agency and will
spend a couple of weeks in this vicinity
looking np the reliability of our business
men. Mr. Rodgers says The Dalles bus
a splendid standing with the merchants
in the larger cities and its credit is an
surpassed by any town in the Northwest,
The business men, he finds, prosperous
and quick to meet all obligations.
Keports trom Sherman county say
the yield will be better than anticipated
several weeks ago. The spring grain has
filled out well and tbe fall wheat has at
all times been good. Harvesting is
under way now and for the next month
the ham of the threshing machine will
be beard in the land. Last year Sher
man county raised, it is said, one-sixth
of the wheat crop in Oregon -and this
year the yield will be very satisfactory,
The wool season is about over, and
the receipts from now on will be nomin
al. There are a few buyers still in town,
but the majority have finished their
business and gone away. Most of tbe
wool in the warehouses is sold and will
be shipped steadily from now on
Trucks loaded with bales pass down
Second street at all hours of tbe day to
the steamer .dock, and the railroad is
hauling a good many cars of wool. The
present season has seen an immense
amount brought into The Dalles, but
next year the record will be still larger.
Many localities whose wool has gone
to Arlington and Heppner will be at'
traded to Tbe Dalles because 'of the
higher prices paid here this season.
Friday's Daily.
Sam Thurman has opened a lemonade
and fruit stand next door to' the old
Hood stable.
, Bert Hawthrone's fine was paid today
so be has been released from jail and
breathes the air of freedom once again.
, The warehouse of Mavs & Crowe is
being filled by a carload of Old Hickory
wagons which arrived yesterday. These
wagons were shipped direct from the
factory.
A sure sign that times are better is
seen in the increased number of shows
and circuses that are on the road. Tbe
Dalles is billed for a theatrical perform
ance July 20th.
The clouds are gathering in tbe sugar
war and there promises to be some live
ly times. People had better buy while
it is cheap for no one knows what the
morrow may bring forth.
Tonight is the social at tbe Methodist
church, . Tbe ladies are making prepara
tions for giving everybody a good time
so dont disappoint them with a small
crowd. Let everybody go.
The audience at the opera house last
night was too late in coming.' Many
arrived and took their seats at the ap
pointed time, but the majority kept
coming till a late bonr. The Dalles has
an unenviable reputation for being tardy
at performances and either the people
should come earlier or the performance
begin later so that all could come at the
samt, time.
The Oregon Fruit Union have moved
their office and storeroom from the first
floor of the Cosmopolitan across the
street to a portion of the building occu
pied by The Dalles Lumbering Co.
The piano used at the concert last
nigbt by Miss Minto was not a Hardman
as down on the' program but a rich toned
handsome instrument of tbe Ludwig
make, furnished by Jacobsen Book and
Music Company.
Harry Hampshire, Rocky Chenoweth
and J. W. Fisher came up on the Reg
ulator last nignt from Wind river, where
they have bad a camp for several days,
Their outing did tbem good and they
came back with all the signs of having
had a rugged outdoor life. The weather
was rather cool for outings tbe last two
qr three days, but otherwise the campers
had a good time.
County Surveyor Sharp is having
handsome cottage built on the corner of
Fourth and Federal streets, diagonally
across from the big stable. The frame
is up and most of the outside work
finished. The building is a very pretty
design and built of the best material
When done it will be one of the prettiest
residences in the city. This makes the
second new bouse built in that vicinity
this spring. Across the street is the
cottage, just erected by Henry Ciough
Several wagon loads of wool arrived at
tbe Wasco warehouse this morning,
coming from beyond Mitchell. Fifteen
sacks belonged to C. L. Pierson and the
teams hauling it were eighteen days on
the road. This is more tban double the
usual time, which is generally seven or
eightdays. The teamsters were hindered
by their horses getting away and much
delay was caused in catching them
The freighters came over the new Cur
rant creek road and report it yet a little
soft, but that by next season it will be
in splendid condition for heavy hauling
A considerable quantity of fruit is be
ing shipped from L,yle this season, a
consignment coming up on tbe Regu
lator last night. The large farm of Mr,
Balfour has been planted with a great
many varieties of fruits and berries, and
when7 the trees and vines get to the
bearing stage there will be a vast
amount ready for shipment. Mr. Bal
four's place can be plainly seen from tbe
(river and the passerby can tell on what
large scale operations are being con
ducted. Farther up the valley is some
fine fruit land which is just being de'
veloped and in a short time Lyle will be
one of the most important fruit shippirg
points on the river.
A Bala For Over 1 2,000 Today.
Oa the courthouse steps today Deputy
Sheriff Kelly offered for sale the two
farms known as the old Lair Hill and
W. H. Wilson places, on Mill creek.
The sale was a sheriffs one and done in
pursuance of decrees in the cases of J.
Flanders vs. O. D. Taylor, Sarah K.
Taylor, J. A.Johnson, Caroline Breese,
John Berger, T. C. Mitchell, and state of
Oregon . as trustee for tbe common
school fund - of Wasco county. The
amount ef the judgment, with interest,
against the two places was $8986.02 and
it was not expected that there would be
much active bidding, but in this the
calculations were wrong. J. C. Flanders
bid $4643.48 for the Wilson place and
$4801.64 for the -Hill farm. . C. W.
Dietzel and Mr. Wilson, as attorney for
Jos. A. Johnson, joined in the bidding
which became quite brisk. The final
bid for Mr. Johnson was tbe highest and
he became the purchaser ot both places.
Tbe Wilson farm selling for $6500 and
the Hill place for $6236. The money
was ready in French A Co.' bank to
make the payments and the matter soon
adjusted, satisfying the Flanders judg
ment. These two farms are among tbe best
fruit lands in Wasco county and well
improved. The price paid today repre
sents less than one-balf their real value.
Mr. Taylor has been the owner of both,
farms for several years. This sale is
one of the largest ever held by the
sheriff. ' :
A Kaw Industry.
In an interview with J. C. Meins we
were informed that measures are being
taken to establish a fruit drying plant in
The Dalles. It is proposed to put up a
first class dryer with all the appliances .
and tools needed to grade and prepare
fruit for drying and shipping. Mr.
Meins has just received from San Jose,
Cal.. one of the new prune perforator
and graders, a machine perhaps destined
to entirely supersede the lye dipping;
process used in preparing prunes.
The cost of the plant will be $1000,
$600 of which is already subscribed in
cash and the balance ought to be made
up by some of our enterprising business
men. As there are about 250 to 300 tons
of green prunes in this vicinity that will
be virtually lost, there being no facilities
for drying them, this plant would bring
a net profit of about $3500 to the various -prune
growers In the vicinity of Tbe
Dalles. .
TAKE STEPS
In time, If you are a suf-
ferer from that scourge Vr ,
of Humanity Known as
consumption, and you
can be cured. There is
the evidence of
hundreds of liv
ing witnesses to
the fact that, in 4
11 its earlyl
stages, consume-"
tion is a curable
disease. Not
everv case, but a
large percentage of
cases, ana we Geneve,
fully 98 per cent, are
cured by Dr. Pierce's
Golden .Medical Dis
covery, even after the disease has pro
gressed so far as to induce repeated bleed
ines from the lanes, severe lingering cough.
with copious expectoration (including tu
bercular matter), great loss of flesh and ex
treme emaciation and weakness.
Do yon doubt that hundreds of such, case
reported to ns. as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it They have, in nearly every
instance, been so oronounced by tne best
and most experienced home physicians.
who nave no interest wnatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to Denent a lime tor
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey.
and various preparations of the hypo
phosphites had also been faithfully tried
in vain.
The photographs of a large numDcr ot
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on
receipt of address and six cents in
stamps. Yon can then write to those who
have been cored .and profit by their ex
perience. Address for Book, World's Dispknsabt
