Saturday's Dally. Patrick and Thomas Bolton are in from their farm on Tygh Ridge today. Tbey aay that farmers are very anxious to be gin plowing in that section, bat the con tinual rains which they have been hav ing for the past week bas prevented them from so doing. Residents of Wallowa county report a run of salmon which began within the past week. - A ran of salmon this late in the season is very unusual in that county. The fish are large and have deep red sides, and have other unusual characteristics. They are headed for Wallowa lake and are very plentiful. F. S. Gunning, secretary of section 1857, Endowment Rank," K. of P., this . morning received a check for $2000 in favor of Mrs. Carrie Johnston, widow of Cbaa. W, Jobnston,.who. was killed on the O. R & N. in . November last.. . Sec tion 1857 has been in ezistance for about four years, and thiq is the first death amongst the Dalles knights' since that section has been introduce.' This morning the Antelope and Prine ville stage did. not leave until after 9 o'clock, owing to the large amount of mail which had to go to those : places. There were in all tweaty-three sacks, and the regnlar stage could not be used, they having to substitute a Bmall farm wagon. At present. there should be four horses on the stazes on this line, and much better service would be given Besides no passengers conld be carried today on account of the poor accommo . datione. - ' Cedar Circle received a dispensation from its grand guardian to admit appli cants until January 1st for $1.50. It ac cepts any lady of good character, or any Woodman in good, standing in bis camp. Is a beneficiary order that is able to pay every death claim in full, having paid for this year, insurance from $500 to $2000; furnishes a $100 monument to every deceased lady benefit member; graded assessment plan, same as Wood men have. It bas nearly 5000 members ; organized April 1, 1807. The Circle bas made rapid growth and is a substantial order. ; Mr. Byers, whose flouring mill was burned in Pendleton some time ago, baa made a proposition to the Commer cial Association of Pendleton that it shall take the matter in hand of dispos ing of a quantity of his realty, and thereby give him money sufficient to pay for building his flouring mill. It is the idea to sell $31,000 worth of land. The matter ie now in the bands of a committee. Colonel Boyd, of the com mittee, baa written to people at Portland relative to the proposition of forming a stock company to purchase the property and expects a reply in a few days. - - The following officers have been se lected by. the board of directors of the .Dalles Commercial and Athletic Club, to serve during the ensuing; year:. Presi dent, E. C. Pease: vice-president, G. C. Blakeley secretary, H. M. Beall; treas urer, W. H. Wilson. Of these gentle men, Mr. . Wilson -baa been treasurer since the club was organized, and this is Mr. Beall's second term ' as secretary. In selecting Mr. Pease and Mr. Blake ley' excellent judgment was also shown, as both men have done a great deal tow-1 ard "' the advancement of . the club. Judge Bradshaw, the former president, being out of town so much that he could not give strict attention to club matters, for that reason he declined to serve the second term, . ... . " Monday's Dally. ' Born, in Portland, ' Saturday, Nov. 11th, to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Heppner, a daughter... The happy father was a former Dalles boy, and bis friends here extend their congratulations to "Hep." The boom in the1 cattle- business ap pears ' to ' be running away with itself. Stockmen are paying from $10 to $12.50 for calves, and one wonders where tbey will get off at when they come to market such '..blooded stock as S-year-o!ds. Union Scout.

This is a. poor indication that the farmers , are desirous to hold their grain over until spring for higher prices, otherwise they would not haul it over the roads in their present condi tion. '. ' Saturday a man named Carlyle was arrested by Constable Hill on a com plaint made by Dick Brookhonse charg ing Carlyle with the larceny of a dog, valued at $10. He is having his heannz today in Justice Filloon's court, Fred W, Wilson appearing for . the defense, while A. A. Jayne is the attorney for the prosecution. Eight members of Dr. Grants', com pany arrived from Goldendale today, af ter a hard trip, with one upset, in which they were all treated to a genuine roll in the mud. They say that considering the size of the town they did a very good business every night they played there. From here tbey go to Heppner by way of Wasco.1 ' ' ' The trial in the circuit court in Dallas Tuesdav over the ownership -of a hog between neighbors was quite an attrac tion thirty witnesses were examined and it is said the expenses will reach into the hundreds. The only way for the winner of the hog to get even, will be to take it to Klondike, where pork commands a high price. Prof. McEwen bad a splendid class of oyer a dozen suDjects isaturaay mgm, and the largest audience of the week. Nearlv all bis. specialties were new and as amusing as they usually are. He made his subjects believe tbey were in India taking in the sights and viewing the doings of a Hindoo fakir.' lie then transported them across from this coun try to London in a balloon, and termin ated their ride by allowing them to fall into the Thames, where they were swim ming for their lives when woke up. He also made them engage in a baseball game, which was mgniy amusing. A report comes from Hong' Kong 'that William Dunbar, who was implicated in the notorious Nat . Blum opium-smug gling cases, and who about three years ago surreptitiously left here for China to evade the penalty attached to bis offense, is coining money in the Orient in legitimate commerce. This, how ever, is no great surprise to' those well acquainted with Dunbar, for he always was regarded as one of the best business men in Portland, and bad be not per mitted himself to be misguided into the giganticopium-smuggling scheme which wrecked bis legitimate ' business, lie would have successfully thrived ' here. Oregonian. xesterday while the blasting was going on in the cut across Mill creek, Mr. Healy, who was coming down Fourth street, across from M. Z. Don nell's residence, beard a whizzing sound in the air and instinctively ducked his head.' As he ' did eo a rock weighing three pounds passed not over six inches above him and imbedded itself in the bank near by. ' From the place the rock struck to" where the blast was eet off was fully a quarter of a mile, and this, proves the danger of passing in that vicinity when the blasting is going on. There is no doubt that bad the rock struck Mr. Healy he would not have lived to tell the story, since it was going with the force of a cannon ball. Tuesday's Dally. Weather: Tonight and Wednesday snow and colder. ' -. i . - Another' carload of fine fat porkers were shipped to Troutdale today by Roe Grimes. 'Yesterday a marriage'' license was issued to John E. Obrist and Miss Flor ence B. Wolfe, both of this county. B. F. Drake, former proprietor of the Salem iron works, made an assignment last Saturday for the benefit of his creditors, naming' F. E. ' Rizer as as signee. The assests are given as amounting to $1376, nd the liabilities to $4213. . . Nothing bas been ' heard of William Teller, who left : on a bunting trip near Tongue point a few days ago, says the Astorian. His skiff was picked op near Knappton and was brought over by the launch Triton yesterday. It is thought certain that he was drowned. " . Earl Wheeler, thecattle "rustler" who was arrested on Lower Powder river last October, after a hot battle with a sher iff's posse, was found guilty, in Baker City, .last Friday, of stealing a cow. In the case of Charles Sally; charged with shooting at Ida- Gilmore, the grand jury returned "not a true bill." - . .. A private letter ncaived from Dr. Sutherland, who is at presence in Albu querque, N.' M., states that he is getting along nicely and in' a short time will move to the sanitarium' in1 Ashville, N. C, where be will be under the care of a specialist. " His many friends in this city hope to see him back in the near future, completely cured. . Yesterday afternoon Richard Carlyle, who had his preliminary bearing in the justice court for larceny -of a dog, was bound over under $200 bonds to appear before the grand jury, and as he bas not as yet secured a bondsman, be is at pres ent in the county jail. This seems to have been purely a piece of spite work. He bad a grudge against Dick Brook- bouse, the owner of the dog, and in order to get what ,be probably thought would be satisfaction,:? he went nnto Brookhouse's yard, put a rope on the doe. tied it down in a canyon near by and killed it. Before he gets out of this trouble he will in all probability come to me conclusion iuhi. uih apue was v" 'w too far, as be is charged with a peniten tiary offense and has a good chance of being convicted. - . Rev. M. A, . Williams, the pioneer minister of the Roeue river valley, died at bis home two miles 'south of Medford, Sundav. He was 86 years of age, aud had lived in Southern "Oregon since the early fifties. He' was one of the best- known pioneers of this part of the state, and was one of Jackson county's most honored citizens. The funeral services will take place from the Presbyterian church at Jacksonville today. Jack Splawn drove 1000 goats to winter quarters on the Nelson place, near the Natchez bridge, last week, says the Yakima Herald. They are Aneoros, and every one is a beauty. ' Early in the spring they will be taken into the Klon pike country, and marketed there, this stock having been selected ' for the veil-' ture because of its hardy nature. On the way they will either carry packs or draw sleds. '-.' . . . , , William Herbert was on Wednesday acquitted by a jury in Colfax of the charge of stealing a gelding. He was fii6t charged with, horsestealing, but the information was pronounced fatally de fective by Judge McDonald, and a new one was drawn up. The acquittal of Herbert is said to have; been due to the presence in the CDurtrooin of his beauti ful wife and pretty baby. He was re- j arrested on the cborge of attempted rob' bery, and is still in jail. William Guess O'Neil, father of Wal ter and George O'Neil, of Prineville, in Crook county, and C. C. O'Neil, of Mud dy, died a week ago last Sunday at the residence of his son, George, at the ripe age of 85 years and 3 months, lacking one day. Death resulted from the in firmities incident to old fige,! and has been expected' almost any time since a general breaking down'of the deceased's health, about three . months ago. Mr, O'Neal was born in Green county, Ten' neseee, September 6, 1812. ". h A lively runaway occurred in the East End this morning.- Wood Bros.' cart was standing near the depot when the horse became frightened and started to ran. At the time the driver was stand ing alongside of the cart and as be held on to the lines he was dragged to Wors- leys corner, at which place he succeeded in getting into the cart ana stopped the horse, a few blocks this side of where "the runaway began. Quite an amount of meat was in the cart at the time, which was scattered along the line, but outside of this no serious damage was done. TWO SUCCESSFUL Another One Attempted, Bat ,. . . Was Stolen.. ... ROBBERIES Nothing; At about 11 o'clock Saturday morning someone broke into ' the house of an old Chinaman, by the name of Let, who has a Vegetable garden at the foot of Washington street, on the north aide of the O. R. &,N. track, and stole about $90 in money. No one was around the place at the time of the robbery, and as the officers ' have very poor grounds to work on, it is doubtful if the mis creant will be brought to justice. Another attempt at burglary was made last night, the scene of this being the Diamond Flour . Mills. An effort was made to force the lock on the front door, after which failure ' the robber broke a bole in the office window large enough to reach through and unfasten the catch, when he raised the window and entered. All the money and valua bles were in the safe, and as yet noth'' ing has been missed. ' Another robbery was committed in the Farmers' Hotel yesterday afternoon Someone got' into the room of Mr. Co bart, engineer at the mill, and took articles of other BOYS' AND GIRLS' AID SOCIETY. Blr. Gardner In the City in Behalf of That Charitable Organization. '" W. T. Gardner, superintendent of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Port land, is in the city today transacting business in behalf of the society. He brought up one little homeless girl, which was adopted into the family of Mr. Matthew Thorburn of Kingsley.and before returning he intends to call upon, or inquire concerning the twelve chil ' dren which are adopted into families in this section, and see that they are treat ed right, and that tbey want for nothing. During the last five years over twenty homeless children were taken from this county, and at present' nearly all of them have good bomes. Among them was the little Gibson girl, whose parents were opium fiends and lived out by tbe company ice house. She is adopted into a family in Portland, and is getting along nicely, being au exceptionally bright little girl. Dollie Howard, whose mother was a woman of bad repute in this section, is in Southern Oregon at present, and is in good hands, who will train her up in a virtuous manner. The 1 three Graham children, .whose "mother is . dead and their father - nnable to support them, are also in good circumstances, the girls being adopted by people . who will take the best of care of them, while the boy is at the Indian school at Chemawa. One of the Wolfort'h "children is taken on indenture by parties living near the home, while the 5-year-old boy is still at tbe home, and on account of his robust-appearance is known by everyone as "Punch." - ""..'". 1 ; - : ; Mr. Gardner will take six children back to the home with him this trip. The three Atkins boys,' who are some of those who were a short time ago arrested for stealing articles from the stores and other places around town, and the' three Howland children, whose mother is dead and whose father was sent to the peni tentiary a short time ago. -- ' J They will be taken good care of while in tbe home, and as soon ' as possible will be given to families who wish to adopt thenar .. " . '- '' . 4 While" here Mr. Gardner will accept subscriptions from anyone who is chari tably inclined and who desires to give something, no matter bow small, to belp the home, and anyone giving money to aid such a cause may consider tbe same well spent. , ; Employment Wanted. A widow with several children would like to move to The Dalles to give her children schooling, and desires employ ment, chamber work preferred. - Ad dress j. - Mas. Wk, Sharer, Chenjweth, Wasb.l j pair of shoes and some clothing. 4 It is a calamity that . the burglar, or burglars, who are committing all these. robberies cannot be caught. Tbey are very smooth and succeed in evading the authorities, leaving' no' clue' to their identity. However," no 'stone will be left unturned by the police force in the way of ridding the town of such pests There is one thing that our city lacks, and that is' sufficient police force at night. It is impossible for a single man to take care of a town of tbe mag nitude of this, and as a gang of thieves seems to be operating successfully at present, another night-watchman should be put on by all means. THE NEW LIGHTSHIP LAUNCHED, No. 70 Makes Her First Dip From Wolf & ZwickardVXard. - Lightships No. 70 was eucces'fullv launched from the ways at Wolff1 & Zvickard's yard, at 11:30 Saturday morning, and is now moored at the contractor's wharf to receive her boiler, masts and spars. Three thousand peo ple, standing on the. East" Water-street elevated roadway, the roofs of surround ing buildings and the Madison and Mor ison' street bridges, saw her enter the water. Not an accident nor a hitch marred tbe event. . " An hour before tbe time set for the launching the drenching rain which had been pouring all the morning ceased, as if for tbe occasion, and the sun came forth 'and shown warmly down till noon, This started crowds of people across the bridges, and soon every available space on the platform' about the ship was taken, and the spectators overflowed on the river banks and into the torpedo- boat sheds, every crossbeam of which on the side toward the ship was swarmed with men and boys. Shortly after 11 o'clock, Miss Dorcas Merrell, who had been requested by the contractors to christen the veesel, mounted the platform at the bow, ac companied by ber mother anJ father, Commander John P. Merrell, inspector of the 13th lighthouse district. F. Wolff, president of the-Wolff & Zwicker iron works, and a number of invited guests were also on the platform. . Taking the champagne bottle, which was suspended by a red, white and blue cord from the starboard bow, In her hand, she made ready for the moment 'when the ship should start. " . i "Meanwhile, both ax and lever had manfully been plied," and in a few mo menta those cn board felt tbe vessel shiver a little and then by watching stationary objects, saw that ebe had started. - When she was a yard out of port on her first voyage, Miss . Merrell. held it high above her head and cast it energetically at the retreating ship. It was shattered into a thousand pieces and. tbe lightship war "numbered." ' A brief summary of ber dimensions and equipment follows; .Length over all 125 feet; beam 28 feet 6 inches;' depth, 13 feet 6 inches; dis placement, 589 tons. Tbe vessel will be provided with a single condensing en gine, capable of developing 300 horse power, ' driven by a 12x12 corrugated firebox boiler.; There are also two . don key boilers to furnish' power to the en gines for the dynamos and wince, whent the ship is at anchor. The large boiler and tngine will be used only to move her from place to place and to bold her head to the nind during a gale. Two electric lights of 1000 candle power each will be p'aced at her masthead." They will flash five seconds- in ' fifteen, and in clear weather can be seen for seventeen' miles. Oregonian.

The water reached the Allen cottage on the shell road and the Estes cottage on the county road. All the high part of tbe beach is covered with driftwood, which knocked down the fence at the bath houses." Elks' Greeting-. . . To Those to Whom This Greeting May Corner ,- ... : . Prof." McEwen has, during the ,week just past, given a series of 'hypnotic en tertainments in The Dalles. His ap pearance bas been tbe cause of large at tendances, and those who witnessed bis exhibitions express themselves as satis fied that Prof. McEwen is an. acknowl edged master in the art to which he .has given much study and attention.' . . On last Saturday night Prof. McEwen, who is a member of the Salem lodge of Elks, was invited to attend the regnlar meeting of Cascade Lodge in Tbe.Dalles, and while there gave an informal enter tainment : before, the . members, which was surprising to a remarkable degree. His - feats of - legardetnain and mind- reading interested and edified those present till all were . willing, to, declare istas an artist he is surpassed by none. His entertainment was. so remarkable that it was the concensus of opinion of the -Elks' present that a . testimonial should be prepared and presented . to Bro. McEwen expressing to him their pleasure and , obligation t for so kindly contributing to the ; enjoyment of. the evening, and to that intent these words are written,. In their acquaintance with Bro. McEwen the Elks of Cascade Lodge have found him a gentleman in' every respect, honest in his statements and sincere in his' devotion to what is un doubtedly a marvelous problem of science. . - .. This statement is a spontaneous ex pression r n the part of. Cascade Lodge, and is done without Bro. McE wen's knowledge or consent.. He has made a pleasant impression on .those whom he has met, and the, Elks do not believe they are hypnotized when the,v,make this voluntary testimonial. Whenever Bro. McEwen returns to The Dalles he may be assured of a hearty t ceptipn by the Elks of this city. . ; By order of Catenae Lodge, B. P. O. E. Jcdd S. Fish, Exalted Ruler. Feed W. Wilson, Secretary.
