The trial of Quong is going on this

Chinese case is the most unsatisfactory
to attempt to try of all.' The primary
trouble is to get an interpreter thitt can
talk and understand English. The
next diffculty is to induce them to tell
what they know through the inter
preter, and finally all that they tell is
apt to be -false.
From data collected it is evident that
the Oregon hop crop will be about 50,000
bales, or one-half of the 1895 crop, says
the Oregon Agriculturist. California
and Washington data are not definite,
but the yield will probably not exceed
40,000 bales in the former state, and 20,-
000 in the latter, against 52,000 and 28,-
000 bales respectively in 1895. The re
duction in Oregon has been greater in
proportion than in the other states.

No one has yet had temerity enough
to allow his imagination to wander be
yond the possible completion of the
locks, bnt now that it seems assured
they will be opened to traffic no later
than November loth, it occurs to us that
there is no provision for operating the
locks when they are ready for the pas
sage of boats. It will take a force of
bout six men to handle the gates, and
a soeciul line of work requiring ex
perience and- intelligence. Thus an
other straw image is invigorated with
the breath of life. ' " v
"' There is undoubtedly gold where Mr.
Cradlebaugh and party are mining in
the Mt. Adams country, for he has a vial
of it which he is exhibiting to his
friends. It ia coarse gold and there are
one or two nuzgets among it as large as
a pea.. There is about $25 worth, of the
yellow metal in the bottle and about $10
worth of platinum, a much rarer and
more valuable metal than gold. Plati-'
num is worth about $54 an ounce, while
gold is about $18.50. Platinum is used
by electricians. ' It is very ductiie. A
wire can be made of it so fine as to be
invisible. Mr. Cradlebaugh believes if
he can find the place where; the gold is
washed from he will uncover half a mil
lion dollars. , - .
TWO CARS OF FRUIT -
Lea a The Dalles Tonight for the East
The Crop Normal.
This is now
the midst of the fruit-
shipping season. Two cars leave to
night, one shipped by The Dalles Com
mission Co. and one by the Oregon Fruit
Union. The shippers interested in the
car shipped by Mr. Piokham are A. J.
Linton, Wm. Floyd, Wru. Taylor, E.
Cooper, Marshall Hill.M. D.Tarrington,
W. H. Hasbands.A. H. Jewett and Fred
Paddock. This car is entirely of prunes,
the varieties being Hungarian, Silver
and Italians. - '
The car shipped by The Dalles Com
mission Co. was comprised of the follow
ing: A. H. Jewett 348, Marshall Hill
38, F. P. Taylor 13, Geo. Snipes 13, J.
H. Stadleman 124, E. Lane 30, A. S.
Bennett 250.
We are told that for the ensuing two
weeks there will be an average of one
car a day sent from J. he Dalles. 138 1
year 30 carloads of fruit were shipped
for the season, and it does not seem as
though the supply is going to be less the
present season, not withstanding the frost
and cold weather scare early in the
spring. The growers themselves have
under-estimated their output in nearly
all cases. Those who have ptomieed 50
crates on a certain time bring in 100;
one who promised 100 brought in 230,
As regards prices the effect, of Calif
ornia competition is beginning to mani
fest itself. On August 28tb, returns for
a car of Oregon fruit amounted to 80
cents. A carload of plums' from the
Grande Eonde sold in Chicago jester-
day at 4050. This latter will result in
a slight loss to the grower. There are
markets, however, which have not had
any Oregon fruit this summer. Among
these in the West is Omaha. Pittsburg
and other cities of the tar East will be a
good market for Oregon fruit, as little is
shipped so far, and prices at the present
time are high. -
Republican Speaking.
The state central committee is busy
arranging dates for the speakers who are
to stump the state in the interests of
McKinley and Hobart. The campaign
will be an effective one, and every i art
ot the state will be visited by men who
thoroughly understand the questions of
the campaign, and who can show voters
for which candidates it is to their inter
est to cast their ballots.
Senator John H. Mitchell will make
his opening campaign speech at Wood
burn tomorrow night. The Republicans
of Marion county are making great prep
arations for the event, and delegations
of Republicans from Salem and all along
the line will be present. His date in
The Dalles is October 2d.
The early appointments are :
Hon. John F. Caples at Salem, Septem
ber 8th. .
Hon. M. C. George at Hubbard on the
9th.
Hon. S. M. Yoran, Republican nom
inee for elector, will speak at Marshfield,
September 8th; Myrtle Point on the
9th ; Coquilie Cny on the 9th, and Ban-
don on the 11th.
Mr. J. W. Ivey expects to make a tour
of Eastern Oregon during the campaign,
and will probably speak in every county.
Mr. Ivey has stumped Eastern Oregon
before, and met with great success. He
is an effective campaign speaker, and
his coming will be eagerly awaited by
Eastern Oregen Republicans.
Ought te Have It.
Mr. Meeks, the veteran Mosier farmer,
is in the city today trying for a pension.
The old fallow should have one, whether
his services to the Union were valuable
during the war or not. He is 84 years
old, in full possession of his mental fac
ulties, and has a homestead which he
keeps in better shape by his own labors
only than many a farmer only a third as
old. He has kept out of the poor house,
pays his bills and makes his own living.
The other day be appeared before the
'deputy Bheriff to pay his taxes. He had
a $10 piece and there was about $4 to
come to him out of it.' One could tell
the way he fondled it that $10 golden
eagle is harder to earn than it used to
be, and especially hard is it for an old
man 84 years old, yet he appeared as
usual, paying his taxes on his meagre
bit of property. The republic was young
when Mr. Meeks was born. 'He has
lived through three of its four great
ware, to say nothing of the dangers to
frontiersmen from Indians and reckless
American characters. Many a man has
gone to the poor house before reaching
bis age. He ought not to be compelled
to-work any longer. He has already
performed more than his fair share. By
all means-give the octogenarian a pen
sion. Even Gladstone does not surpass
him in point of years.

Dissolution Notice.

between J. C. Meins and J. W. Koontz,
in the fruit drying business, is this day
dissolved by mutual consent, J. W.
Koontz buying J. C. Meins' interest in

PETITION OF STOCK MEN.
They Ask to Hare the Reserve Thrown
'pen Signed by Everyone.
A petition is being circulated today,
addressed to Senator Mitchell, looking
to the opening of the Cascade forest re.
serve to me pasturage or stock, it is
being signed by everyone to whom it is
presented, as the prosperity of this sec
tion depends upon the prosperity of the
stockman, and if they are to be prohibit
ed from pasturing their - stock in the
mountains during the summer time, it
will be a great and unaccustomed hard
ship.
in this connection the news comes
from Portland that on petition of United
States Attorney Murphy, Judge Bellin
ger yesterday granted a preliminary in
junction, commanding Joseph H. Sherar,
of Wasco county, to remove his bands of
sheep from the Cascade reserve forth
with, and to cease trespassing thereon.
and he is allowed 10 days in which to
appear and show cause why this injunc
tion should not be made permanent.
Mr. Sherar is one of the persons arrested
a few weeks since for trespassing on the
reserve, where he has had some 3S0O
sheep pasturing. He promised that be
would take his sheep off the reserve and
so was allowed to give bonds in the sum,
of $300 and go home. Special Agent
Dixon found his herders on the reserve
and ordered them to get off. They
started and had driven their Sheep some
distance when Sherar sent a man to
them to tell tfiem not to leave the re
serve. On this account the injunction
has been issued.
In this city the above action has
caused considerable indignation. There
seemed to have been a tacit understand
ing that the issue was to have been al
lowed -to lag and possibly die from neg
lect, and the attitude of the government
in crowding the sheep growers to the
wall is received bitterly. The move
does not seem to be inspired by neces
sity. The sheep are doing no damage
either to the timber or the range.
On the contrary the sheep are bene
ficial, having saved many millions of feet
of timber through their habit of making
trails, thus preventing the spread of
forest fires. At this season of the year
the'ground is thickly strewn with dead
pine needles. Ihe sheep running
through make numerous trails or path
ways about a foot wide, obliterating
everything inflammable the width of the
trail. Cases have been noticed where
fires have ceased to spread by burning
up to one of these trails. The sheep
harm nothing, as. they refuse to browse
the young fir and pine growth under
any circumstances. Neither the' govern'
Vment or the people are being harmed by
this great natural range, which has done
the same duty for years, furnishing sus
tenance to the herds which feed upon it
in the summer time.
Big Indian Pow Wow.'
The citizens of Enterprise and vicinity
are alarmed by reports that Indians are
gathering in Wallowa with the inten
tion ot massacreing the inhabitants, to
avenge the death ot the Indian recently
lynched at Asotin for outraging a young
lady of Enterprise. Miss Olive Richard
son, the young lady who was outraged,
has returned home. It is rumored that
the Indians now encamped in that vi
cinity are seeking her life, and threaten
to shoot her on sight. It is estimated
that over 2,000 Indians from the Nez
Perce and Umatilla reservations are now
encamped in the Wallowa valley. Yes
terday Indians had a barbecue and pow
wow at their camp at the mouth of
Trout creek, this being the- time for
celebrating the death of the Indian re'
cently lynched. A number of promi
nent Indians were present, besides the
family and relatives of the dead man
The settlers have taken necessary pre
cautions and warned everybody to stay
away from the meeting, as they might
thoughtlessly cause trouble, as the In
dians will no doubt be worked up to a
great frenzy, and, with the assistance of
whisky, some of them might resort to
violence.
A Chinese Bow.
The Chinese of the city had a lively
celebration last evening of some event
peculiar to themselves, which wound up
with an infraction of the law and an ar-4
rest. Some distinguished Chinaman
from abroad, high in the order of
Chinese Masons, was present .and a
merry making ensued on a Front street
resort iu Chinatown. During their fes
tivities ihere. entered a Chinaman

liked by the majority of the guests pres
ent for being a friend of Yung Quong's,
the latter in bad odor among Chinese for
not paying h; wage debts. Quong was
the boss Chinaman - at Seuiert's.
Whether Joe Say was to blame or not.
the fact is that a row occarred between
him and the other Chinamen, resulting
in his arrest by Nightwatchman Wiley
for being drunk and disorderlyand the
recorder fined him $10 this morning.
The more serious part of the trouble
consisted, in the fact that Quong, who
was angered at the treatment received
by Say, called in one of his assailants or
defendants, as the case may be, and at
tacked him with a revolver. Quong was
then arrested for assault with a deadly
weapon and his case set to trial
before Recorder Phelps. Later the case
was transferred to Justice Filloon, on
a charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon. .

Dietzel lived a consistent, npriuht lit,
and was known by all who knew him as
the onl of honor ami honesty. In mat
ters of religion his views were liberal.
He was not a member of any church,
and did not bold to any particular creed.
but his life was such as might well in
spire the emulation of any good citizen.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence in this city on Satur
day the 5th inst., at 2 o'clock. The fun
eral services will be held under the
auspices of the Masonic order, of which
he had been an honored and respected

John Gavin of this city was recently
admitted to the bar by the supreme
court at Salem. There were seventy
four applicants, including forty-one
seniors of the law department of the.
Oregon University. Ihe examination
was wholly written. Forty-nine ques
tions weraon the list and four hours
time given for the writing of the answers.
Mr. Gavin received a certificate en
titling him to practice. He received
bis instruction through the Sprague
Correspondent School of Law, 114 Tele
phone Building, Detroit, Mich. This
school enables students to study law in
their own homes by the correspondent
method. Itis quite remarkable what
this school has been able to accomplish
with its students scattered as they are
in every state and all the instruction
given by 'mail. Any young man or
young woman unable to attend a law
school and desiring to study law at borne
will be profited by writing the school for
particulars.
