' Wheat seems to come in faster than
ever, and the great drawback at present
in this place and Portland seems to be
lack of storage room. As ships are not
coming into the latter place fast enough
to take it away .this seems to have some
thing to do also in keeping the price
down. . December wheat rose two cents
in Chicago Yesterday, but it still stands
the same here, seventy-live cents.
At 5:45 o'clock Saturday evening
Charles Dobel, standing in the carriage
house at his home on Chestnut street in
Walla Walla, placed the muzzle of a
Smith & Wesson revolver to his head
and fired a 38-cahbre bul'et through his
brain. Beyond a slight indisposition
caused by a cold, he was in good health,
mentally and physically, and as far as
known bis business was in good shape.
Therefore his .- friends can ascribe no
cause for the rash act. ' . -

Secretary Alger has sent to Lieut.
Col. Randall, commander of tbe United
States troops at St. Michaels, an order
directing him to make use of reindeer in
Alaska for transportation' of supplies
and relief of sufferers. Secretary Alger's
idea is to establish a regular line of rein
deer . communication under military
management. Meanwhile advices have
reached the war department from pri
vate sources to the effect that there is
more food along the Yukon than is gen
erally supposed, and that no man need
be hungry if he cares to travel for food
Altogether there are about 1200 tons of
provisions within thirty miles of Daw
son along the Yukon. . ,
We understand that it is the inten
tion of the Commercial Club to lower
the membership fee from fifteen to ten
dollars. This is a very wise move, for at
present there are quite a number of
young men who can scarcely afford to
pay fifteen dollars, but at the same time
are anxious to join and enjoy the bene'
fits and pleasures which the club rooms
afford ; and as this would enlarge tbe
membership, it would also enlarge the
amount coming in monthly. Every
respectable young man in the city
should join the club, and this will be
the most opportune time, as the rooms
ae being enlarged, remodeled and put
in shape for a much larger number of
members.

The foundation for tbe new school

Farmers from the country south of
here say that the rain we had some
time ago brought up the fall sowing,
and the indications for a good crop of
fall wheat was never better. .
Today while blasting - was going on

- Inactivity in the hop market continues
at Salem. -A few purchases are reported
by buyers, at prices ranging from twelve
to fourteen cents. Tbe purchases that
have been made, however, are few, and
the quantities limited, and tbe market
cannot be said to have opened. .
George Blakeley, W. H. Wilson and
E. C. Pease returned last evening from
Portland, where they have been getting
furniture for the club -rooms. A very
fine lot of furniture has been purchased,,
but as the money on hand was somewhat
limited, all that was desired could not
be purchased.; , However, there is suffi
cient for all present ases, as the mem
bers will see when the rooms are re
opened.- ' - . ,; '.

Tbe blizzard which commenced Mon
day night in Colorado lasted till yester
day morning. . It not only caused dis
comfort, but also caused eevere pecuniary
loss. The streets in Denver were piled
high with snow, broken telegraph poles
huug in mid air or peered from snow
drifts. . Not less than 300 miles of line
are down. The blizzard reached Kan
sas Tuesday night, and the roads in that
state are blocked. Snow piows are vain

A trip to California for twenty-five
cents is not frequently offered to the
people of The Dalles. On Saturday
evening, October 30th, at tbe Congrega
tional church, Miss Helen Kelleber will
present tbe scenery and beauties of our
sister state, and if any reliance can be
placed upon the statements of those

eopticon illustrations, no one can afford

tbe lecture go to the treasury .of the
church.
The public library opened last even'
ing at Blakeley & Houghton's drugstore,
Hereafter it will be open on Wednesday
nights from 7 ti'l 9 and on Saturday
afternoon from 2 till 6, the only charges
being 25 cents per month, which will be
need for purchasing new books. This is
a brilliant idea and should be supported
by everyone who has any literary . taste,
Nothing is more necessary than a pub
lic library, and if we do not have one
that will be second to none in the state,
it will be our own fault.

wheat in Pendleton last Saturday, and
received coin nf the realm in exchange
for about 9,000 bushels of tgraih, irhich
he raised on reservation land. - Mr.
Duncan has been an industrious farmer
for a good many years, and deserves his
share of the prosperity that the "sons of
the soil" are' now enjoying. He was
settling up some old scores Saturday in
Pendleton and seemed to like the pro
cess of throwing off the burden. . .MK
Duncan received 70 cents per bushel for
bis wheat. : It was contracted at 77
cents, but tbe redaction was 'made on
account of damage by rain.

for L- A. Laneriat. The were sent by
his agent, T. A. Shane, of Bakeoven,
and they will be nsed tox driving horses,

horse-raisers, and indicates that they
may yet find a good market for horses
that they would at present be glad to
-:nd to tbe cannery at Linnton. -

EVIL EFFECTS OF FIRE-WATER
Especially When Sold to Lo, the Bila-
rlona Siwaahe.-
-Monday some Yakima Indians, who
at present -live at Turn water, on the
' Washington side, came to this place and
succeeded in purchasing some whiskey,
They then started on their return trip,
but before reaching home they became
thoroughly soaked a'nd seemed bent on
taking some scalps. The first person
they met was another Siwashe, and he
was left badly beaten and in an uncon
scious condition. Another Indian fell
into their path and received tbe same
treatment. ' :
By this time they reached the Indian
village, and the squaws . and children
were the objects upon which they
showered tteir cruelty. One of them
tied a rope to tbe stake of a wigman in
which were a number, of ' women and
children, and then ran his horse around
the same at full speed, tearing it
down and severely injuring some of the
inmates. While he was thus enjoying
himself bis companion was . throwing
rocks into a neighboring shanty j and
succeeded in striking a squaw a terrible
blow on the side of tbe head, rendering
her unconscious.
They then turned their attention to
one of tbe larger bouses, in which a
wake was being -held over a dead pap
poose, and in a remarkably short lime
the inmates were forced to. take up tbe
dead child and go elsewhere to wake it.
The two braves continued their ca-'
ronrsmg until tbe effects of the fire
water died out, and then they . were as
docile as. any other si washe.
Some white men, who were fishing
near the place, were called, and found
the ' two Indians who had been first at
tacked, in a critical condition, their
heads being beat up terribly with a
weapon which might have been a dull
hatchet, and if they pull through they
will be lucky men. . .
Tbe white men inqaired as to There
the whiskey had been bought, and
found cut that a certain saloon in this
city frequently furnishes Indians with
wbhikey, and if the proprietor does not
hear more from this, be had better con
sider himself luckier than most 'men.
In this case it is a saloon, not some poor
hobo, that furnished the liquor, and
those are just the people whom the au
thorities want. ' . ':
A Bulkhead Break.
. A terrible accident happened at Ore
gon City at noon yesterday, causing'tbe
death of two men and injuring five oth
ers. -
A gang of men had been .working
night and day for a week to remove a
bulkhead, expecting to finish the work
this afternoon. Tbe bulkhead was sixty
feet long, and extended from tbe power
station on the east to tbe east wall of
the boat canal on tbe west. At the
lower end of ' the new extension of tbe
power-house another bulkhead had been
constructed, and it was the intention to
take out the old one, in' order to let the

' : It is not as cheap as some others, but is better than all
others. This is a broad assertion, but examine the wagon
and you will agree with us. It is constructed . from carefully
selected material, and it is ;the aim of the manufacturers to
make the best Wagon on the market.
It has more improvements and points of superiority
than we can enumerate here. If you are thinking of getting
a new Wagon, examine the "RUSHFORD." before buying. ..

water into the new section for the tur
bines. . '' :
Thewoik gave way and a flood of
water rushed in upon the workmen,' fill
ing tbe section. At first it was supposed
that every man Was drowned. An alarm
was given and the water was drawn from
the canal as soon as possible, as it was
found that the work of removing the
broken timbers and recovering the
bodies of the drowned men would be fa
cilitated by floating the mass of debris.
'After this was done a count of tbe men
in the gang was made, and it was found
that two men, George Stouch and Ja
cob Macomb, were missing.
' These t wo men were evidently drowned
and are no doubt beneath the pile of
broken timbers, which a large number
of workmen are now engaged in remov
ing. . Stoucb is an unmarried man and
Macomb leaves a wife and children.
; Among the five injured men, the most
seriously hurt are Carl New burg, whose
bead was severely cat and bruised, and
Harvey Little .. whose left arm was
braised and whose head and face was
badly cat. ' ,
The three men who escaped uninjured
were : Jacob Weidick, Alvin Richard- ;
son and Jacob Keane.'
Thomas Smith had bis spine hart and
William W. Smith had one bone of his
right leg broken. '.-.-
, Tbe accident waslowing- either to a
miscalculation of the weight of the water
behind tbe men or the strength of the
bolts and timbers. Upon the giving way' -
of the wall the water rushed into the
lower section with terrific force carry
ing the timbers and all before it. , The
men who escaped fought their - wav
through the floating timbara and finally
reached a point where they received as
sistance. " -
The Kemalna Removed.
Last Thursday afternoon Marcus
Whitman's grave, at Whitman mission,
seven miles west of Walla Walla, , was
opened, preparatory to the erection of a
mausoleum of brick and granite thereon
by the Whitman Memorial Association..
President Penrose, of Whitman college,
a few students and newspaper men only
were present, besides the contractors.
Near the surface of tbe mound in one
corner, four skulls nearly intact were
discovered, also a number of minor bones.
The skull of Dr. Whitman was recog
nized by the gold filling in one of his
teeth and a tomhawk wound at the base
of the skull.
Dr. Whitman, bis wife and eleven as- .
sociates, massacred, fifty years ago, are
supposed to be buried in the grave. .
The bones were taken to Walla Walla,
to be classified by physicians. After be
ing placed in a glass case for inspection
for a few days, they will be returned to
their resting place, and a mausoleum
of brick and granite erected oyer them.
