, Lee Git, the Chinaman accused of
murdering Lock Woo, was arraigned
this afternoon before Justice Davis, but
on motion ot the defendant the hearing
was postponed till Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock. It is said a vigorous defense
will be made by the defendant to the
charge. .
The city schools will open September
2nd, and the indications are the attend'
ance will be very large. Every room is
in perfect condition for the reception of
scholars, and the different buildings pat
in good condition.
The baggy which went into the water
at the Lower Cascades when the flat car
broke away and went tearing down the
incline, has been fished out and brought
to The Dalles. It looks rather dilap
idated and the worse for wear, but
new coat of paint and some repairs' will
restore its tormer looks.
Mr. John O'Leary, who has just re
turned from Mt. Adams, says there are
many forest fires in the neighborhood of
Trout Lake. A great deal of timber is
being destroyed and some good grazing
lands being burned over. A heavy rain
in the mountains would save much val
uable timber from destruction.
- Telegraph dispatches today say that
a writ of habeas corpus has been issued
at Omaha and will be served upon
Officer Owen. As it is a week ago today
Bince the officer and Mr. Taylor departed,
It is possible they may have reached
Saginaw by this time, in which case the
issuing of the writ would do little good.
Fifteen cars of horses, bound for the
cannery at Linnton, passed through The
Dalles this morning. It is said that no
borse meat is being canned in the estab
lishment, but that the horses are being
kiljed and used to make a fertilizing
compound. This will please those of a
fastidious taste, to whom the thought of
eating '-'old boss" is unpleasant.
The iron work for the new fruit dryer
arrived by boat last night and will be
taken immediately to the place of opera'
tion. The builders have been waiting
some time for the iron to come and now
will hasten the completion of the enter
prise. The drver will be of the latest
patent, and its ownersjhave faith that it
will be of great benefit to the fruit-growers
of this section.
The Regulator took on 600 sheep at
Lyle yesterday morning and took them
below. , The sheep were bought by Mr.
Ketch um and taken to the Trontdale
meat packing works. This morning it
was expected to stop at Lyle again and
take on a load of 400. There are 2,500
sheep to go, and the boat will be busy
for several days. The sheep have been freight from Portland
pasturing on the grassy bills of Klicki
tat county, and are in good condition
for shipment.
- Six-horse teams are a common Bight
on our etreeta. Every day wagons loaded
with wheat, both this year's and last,
pass up Second street from the ferry
landing to the warehouses and the mill.
Most of the grain that has been received
so far comes from Klickitat though a
considerable quantity has been brought
in from farms near The Dalles and some
from Sherman county. Everyday will
see the number of wheat wagons that
come to town increase from now till the
height of the season. . . -
At the last meeting of the school di
rectors the resignation of Miss Brydolph,
who bad been elected a teacher, was
read and accepted. There were a good
many applications from which to choose
a successor. Alter some discussion the
board elected Miss Anna Elliot of Coun
cil Bluffs, Iowa. Mies Elliot was noti
fied by telegraph of her selection, and
will undoubtedly accept the position.
She is considered an educator of ability
and experience, and those who recom
mended the lady say the board has
made a wise selection. Miss Elliot
will arrive in time to be present at the
opening of school.
John Elindt, who lives by the Ninth
street bridge, brought down town this
morning some samples of plums raised
on his ground. The number ot plums
upon a single branch was prodigious
They were nestled as close together as it
was possible for frnit to 'get and were of
large size. On one of the twigs,' not
over a toot long, there were over iuu
plumB. The fruit was clean and free
from imperfection and would be a splen
did specimen of Wasco county fruit to
send to the Portland exposition. Wasco
county took the first premium once over
all counties in the state and there is lit
tle doubt but what it could do it again.
The latest version of the Chinese mur
der Tuesday morning is that a woman
was at the bottom of the trouble and she
either instigated the killing or was the
indirect cause. This woman is a con
spicuous character in Chinatown ' and
has stirred up . considerable contention
among tne Uhinamen. Home or tnem
want her driven- from town, saying that
before she came with, her bewitching
ways, there was peace and contentment,
but now everything is topsy tnrvy and
there are prospects of more trouble. The
Chinamen are a good deal like other
people, when they cannot find any other
good excuse they blame their troubles
to a woman.
Frank Williams, who was taken to
Portland yesterday morning for hospital
treatment, stood the trip fairly well
The ride from the cars to the hospital
was harder on the invalid than the trip
to Portland, and when he was taken
from the ambulance bis vitality was too
low for an examination to be made. As
Boon as bis strength increases an opera'
tion will be performed by the hospital
staff of physicians. The condition of
Mr. Williams is very serious, and the
chances for recovery are somewhat
against him. A large amount of pus has
gathered, which it will be necessary to
remove. Dr. Hollister and Henry Wil
Hams, the father of the yonng man, ac
companied bim to Portland. The doc
tor returned last night.
Two homestead entries were made be'
fore the land office today. One was by
Joseph L. Glaze of Crook county and
made entry on the ej of ne and swj
of nej, nw of sej of sec-19, tp 12 s, r
12 e. . The other filing was by Theodore
W. Dodson of Gilliam county and en
tered on the nej of sec 17, tp 2 s, r 21 e
The filings do not come into the land
office so rapidly as in some former years
because the country has been greatly
filled by settlers, and the bard times
have prevented extensive immigration
The present year, is, however, much bet
ter than the preceding one and the land
officials are kept busier. Within the next
two years much land that is vacant
in this district will baye been taken, but
there are still many broad acres await
ing settlement.

Forty thousand wheat sacks came np
on tbe .Regulator Saturday night.

portion was taken immediately by farm
ers who were in need of sacks. The con

Mr. IT. "Whealdon handed Mr. Her-
bring today, a check for $2,000 which
was in payment of the insurance taken
m the Oerman-American Uompany.
The premium was npou the Herbring
opera ' bouse in Spragne, which was
badly damaged in tbe great fire at that
place.
Frank Williams was strong enongh
Saturday for an operation to be per
formed.' The staff of surgeons of the
Portland hospital performed tbe opera
tion, and, although it Is too soon for tbe
permanent result to be known, the im
mediate condition of the patient is much
better. The doctors hold out hopes of
Mr. Williams' recovery.
At the meeting of the MethdtiiEt
church members, it was unanimously
decided that the Spokane conference be
asked to return Rev. J. H. Wood as pas
tor tor ine .Danes during tne ensuing
year. . The call was enthusiastic and the
conference committee will undoubtedly
comply with the request. Mr. Wood
has proved himself a very acceptable
pastor and the church has greatly grown
under bis ministerial charge. The peo
ple of The Dalles, irrespective of religious
affiliations, hope to see bim returned,

A Needed Improvement.
So much has been said about the road
leading from the foot of the Klickitat
hills to Rockland, that the necessity of
fixing it has become firmly impressed
upon our business men. The directors
of the boat company, which more than
any other institution has aided in the- -
upbuilding of The Dalles and Eastern
Oregon, have been" especially active in
considering how best tbe road could be
improved. Yesterday S. L. Brooks and
A. e. McAllister, went acioss tbe river
to view the land and see what steps they
could recommend for the improvement
of the road. In company with J. T.
Rorick, they went over the ground and
looked at different routes, which were
proposed, for a new road. The present
highway of travel is in bad condition.

to unlock tbe door, and let the animals

people from town ran to the scene to be

had made each .headway that nothing
could be done. Many people did not
hear the ringing of the bell. It is al
most marvelous that greater damage was
not done, as the large flume and about
2000 cords of wood were but a short dis
tance from the burning shed. A chicken
honse in the adjoining lot took fire and
burned.' The loss is estimated between
$2500 and $3000.
The Dalles Lumbering Company bos
been very unfortunate in the matter of
fires, as several years ago their mill,

fire, waa burned to tbe ground, destroy

morning was believed to have been of
incendiary origin, and, upon the com
plaint of Mr. Johns, a warrant was is

son of C. W. Denton, with setting it on
fire. The officers arrested Mr. Denton

about midnight and the papers were
served upon Mr. Taffe. He waa allowed
to go upon his own recognizance.

which Mr. Taffe was to arrive, has been

The new route would start up the river
and wind back of tbe old shoe factory

distant from the aand. The expense of
laying ont the new ' route would not be
large and Mr. Brooks and Mr. Me-'
Allister are confident the outcome
would be satisfactory. The trade of
Tbe Dalles with tbe Klickitat valley
is increasing every year, but this city
will have to provide better facilities for
teaming in order to have the increase
continue. This year the people across
tbe Columbia are going to have a large
harvest and the major portion will be
sold in The Dalles. This city provides
the beet market in Eastern Oregon, and
if we also give the farmers good roads
there is no reason why The Dalles can
not hold the trade. A committee will
seek subscriptions for bnilding the new
road at an early date.and the accustomed
liberality of our people will show itself.

Mr. F. Drews has returned from Mt.
Hood, bringing with bim some speci
mens of silver and gold, which he found
near the mountains. The specimens
are very fine and it doesn't take a prac

the rock. The ores will -be sent to Port
land and be assayed by an experienced
minerologist. Mr. Drews has long been
of the belief that the country around
Mt. Hood was rich in minerals and has
spent much time in exploration. That
he has hiade a find, there is no doubt,
and if the extent is sufficient the dis
covery is a rich one. mere are other
parties prospecting near Mt. Hood and
it would not be surprising if some rich,
ledges were discovered.
