We understand that among . other
things to be considered by the city coun
cil tonight is a proposition from the
Parrott Lighting Company to illuminate
the city of The Dalles. It is claimed
that a light superior to the electric light

the cost of electric lights. This remains
to be seen ; but we hope that the pro
posed lights are all that is claimed for
them. , ' '.-' 1 ' ''

The price of wheat in The Dalles is
about the same as the price in Portland,
and is considerably higher than at any
other point. This is due largely to the
river competition, which compels the
hauling of wheat at the.verv lowest
rates. The old stand-by, the D. P. & A.
N. Co., has brought about this condition
ot affairs, and the producers of the In
land Empire should not forget it.

a long illness. ? Miss Krehbiel will be
remembered as a woman of unusually
fine education, aud one whos broad
-sympathies the communitv where she
moved can illy afford to lose.
An excnange says: '"ine letter in
which President McKinley introduces
our new minister to the Queen Regent

amiable words: ' 'God' preserve vour

doubts the importance of correct punc
tuation, let him fancy the period miss
ing after the work Majesty. And it is
for attending to this sort of thing that
the editor of a country weekly draws
such a lig salary."
. .Lawrence 8. Coe Dead.
Lawrence S. Cue, brother of Captain
Henry Coe of Hood River, died at San
francitco yester.lay, tie was a pioneer
steamboat man on the Columbia, and
one of the originators of the O. R. & N.
The Oregonian gives the following brief
resume of his history :
"Lawrence Coe citne to Oregon from
New York in the early '50s with his
father, Nathaniel Coe, who was the
first- government official of the postal
service in the Northwest- Those were
the days of the rugged history of Oregon,
and there are now comparatively few
left who lived in the territory when the
sturdy pioneer and his sons came from
the distant East to the wilds of Oregon
to found new homes.
"For a number of years Captain Law
rence Coe made his home on the old
homestead at Hood River, and engaged
in the transportation business on the
Columbia river. He first started in
business with the running of sailboats
between the cascades and the dalles,
and afterward built the little steamers
Mary and Wasco to ply the water of the
Middle Columbia river.
"Later with R. R. Thompson he built
the steamer Venture at Cascades. It
was intended to steam the vessel up to
the dalles and then take it overland to
Celilo for the purpose of running on the
Upper Columbia and Snake rivers. The
trial trip wps to be made under the
management of Captain Coe, but
through eome n.isunderstanding the
lines were cast off before the engineer
was ready, and the Venturer went over
the cascades. Afterward she was sold
her najie was changed to Umatilla
taken to eraser river during the mining
excitement of 1858- and earned a large
amount of money for her owners. The
loss of the Venture in no way discour
aged Captain Coe or R. R. Thompson
They immediate! v built the steamer
Colonel Wright, after receiving the con
tract to transport army supplies to Fort
Walla Walla and other interior posts
Previously such supplies were carried
from the mouth of the Deschutes to old
Fort Walla Walla, now Wallula, in
Hudson's Bay Company battens, and
other craft, propelled by sail and oar,
'The Colonel Wright was the first
steamer to navigate the waters of the
Columbia and its tributaries above the
dalles, and after she had gone into such
eervice her owners joiued the combined
companies, and on December 29, .1860,
formed the Oregon Steam Navigation
Company, more familiar under . the
abbreviated name O. S. N. Co.
Last Night f the Bazaar.
Although the attendance at the bazaar
Thursday night was not so large as ex
ptcted, yet there was a goodly number
present, who were generous in their de
sire to help the cause along, and so the
booths were very nearly emptied of their
cohtents, a good many articles being
auctioned at the close.
The chance booth seemed to be the
favorite resort, and much amusement
was caused as some young man would
walk away carrying a doll, or a young
lady would be the happy possessor of a
shaving case.
Mrs. Goo. Brown, who considered her
self lucky in getting a chance on a beau
tiful ring, set with turquoise and pearls,
for one cent, was surprised when num
ber one was announced as the winner.
The program, which consisted of vocal
solos by Misses Mamie Cuahing and
Myrtle Micl.cll, and Dr.' Lannerberg,
while Prof. Birgfeld gave a violin solo,
beside several selections by the orches
tra, was extremely fine.
The bazaar was a euccess in every way,
and it seems that no matter how often

societies of our city, they always respond

NOT- WHITMAN'S BONES.
A Survivor of the Iaacre Says the
Missionary W Tomahawked. '
Mrs. Catherine Sager Prlngle, a sur
vivor of the Whitman massacre, near
Walla Walla, and a member of the
Whitman household at the time, is con
vinced that the remains of the martyred
missionary were notin the grave recent
ly opened, from which the bones were
removed and exhibited at Walla Walla.
Mrs. Pringle lost her parents on the
long journey to Oregon, and was adopted
by Mr. and Mrs. Whitman. Atthough
child when the awful massacre took
place, she has a vivid recollection of its
horrors. She writes to the Spokesman
Review under date of October 25, as
follows :
"There is an old proverb that says
'Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be
wise.' I was forciblv reminded -of this
when I read the description of the skulls
taken from the grave of Dr. Whitman
Had the grave remained undisturbed,
the public would never have known but
that all the remains of the victims re
pose there?. . I have always, had my
doubts on the matter, knowing all the
circumstances, and so expressing myself
whers applied to years agd for my con
sent to moving the remains to the cam
pus of Whitman college.
"I am thoroughly convinced now that
none of the skulls found belonged to Dr.
Whitman, for none of the wound marks
answer to those he received a toma
hawk wound on the back of the head
and a gunshot wound in the throat.
'I should eoonei think that skull No.
1 belongs to Crockett Bewly or Amos
Sales, who were murdered in their beds
on the 13th day of December, 1847, as
they were thrown out. to the floor and
dragged by the feet to the door, where
they were thrown out. I saw the
Indians strike them repeatedly with
their tomahawks.
"The skull of the man who appeared
to be about 60 years old is probably Mr.
Marsh, the miller. One probably -.is
Hoffman, and one Gillian, the tailor.
"As there was only one woman killed,
it must be, as the learned doctor says,
that of Mrs. Whitman if it is that of a
woman. I have my doubts. It may be
that of one or the other of the Sager
boys." . -
A Suggestive Gift.
This office has received a contribution
partly literary, but principally sapona
ceous, the combination consisting of five
pounds of soft soap and a small dodger
extolling its merits.
As we arrived home from the mount
ainous regions of Baker county Sunday,
with plenty of grime and mineral stains
on our hands, the presentation of a
wash house supply of ' soft soap was
offensively euggestive; but when we
read how it would cure dyspepsia, stop
coughs, relieve rheumatism and furnish
not only clean hands, but a contrite
spirit, we felt that no offense was in
tended, but that the owner ot the soap
desired simply to place his goods where
they would do the most good.
The soap is made by Mr. Way of Port-
