- The annual school for farmer will open
atPallman Monday. 1; will -continue
two weeks. It ia expected that 300
farmers will attend.
The last of the furniture and records
of Snohomish county were removed from
the old county building at Everett to
the new building Monday, and now all
county officials are transacting business
at the new location. The new building
is very substantial and commodious,
. This afternoon a football game was
played between the high school team
and.a picked eleven. Qnile an amount
of excitement prevailed among some of
the yonnger element who take a great
interest in it, and trie game was un
doubtedly hilarions throughout. At the
time of going to press it was not fin
ished, so we cannot give Jthe result.
No better proof could be desired as to
the piofit in advertising than was of
fered by A. M. Williams & Co.'s'store
today. Yesterday they advertised their
big glove sale, and today their clerks
were inadequate to wait on the large
number of patrons lined up along their
counters to take advantage of the re
duction in prices of those articles.
.The same drunk who' was before the
city recorder yesterday morning was re
arrested yesterday afternoon about
o ciock on me same cnarge. tie was
bronght before the recorder again this
morning and fined $25. As he had
no money the fine was set at twelve
days on the rock crusher. The chances
are that when his time has expired he
will be strictly temperate.
Warren Blagden.who was an early and
respected citizen of Klickitat county,
died recently in Goldendale. He . was
born at Einden, Me., in 1824. In 1848
be was married to Miss Lydia Topper,
at Sycamore, 111. There were born to
them seven children, of whom but three
are living, namely : Dr. A. D. Blagden,
of Sycamore, Til ; Fred W. Blagden, of
Canyon City, Or., and Mrs. H. J. Mar
shall, who lives with her aged mother in
Goldendale. Mr. Blagden was well
known for years as Goldendale's chief
hotel man. While a resident of Illinois,
. be was a personal friend of "Abe" Lin
coln, and heartily sympathized with the
Union cause. He was a life-long Re
publican. A report was current this forenoon
that a shooting ecraoe occurred at 8-
Mile, and npon investigating, ail the re
porter could find out was that one of the
inhabitants of that section bad shot off
bis mouth and . in consequence got a
. thorough thumping for his trouble by
the one at whom the shot was aimed.
Both will recover, as they were out of
danger when last beard from.
Assistant Adjutant General W. N.
Morse, of the G. A. R., and wife are in
the city today. Mr. Morse comes to at
tend the meeting of .the G. A. R., which
- will be held tonight in order to arrange
lor the encampment. , It is a settled
fact that the encampment will be held
here in April, and, in all probability, it
will be the largest and best tbat has
ever been held in this state.
The feasibility of a railroad from The
Dalles to Dufnr is becoming more and
more apparent as the days go by. The
building of a new railway line from
Biggs to Wasco and eventually to Prine
ville, renders the building of a railroad
further south than Dufurin this direc
tion impracticable from the present
traffic standpoint. Thus Dufur will be
come a distributing center of no mean
proportions. Dufur Dispatch.
The rock crusher has been doing
Bplended work in turning out' crashed
rock for the brewery bill, and the job is
almost done. Since it has been in use as
high as fifty-five loads a day have been
crushed. From five to seven loads an
hour is the average amount turned but.
The roads as far out as the city limits
will be in excellent condition as soon as
the rock settles down, and there is a
ebort piece the other side oi the limits
which needs fixing.
Todij a crew of about twenty Japs are
working .on the railroad track at the
eastern approach .to the new bridge.
They make better workman than Chi
nese, but at a glance a person can see
thei? inferiority m comparison to white
labor. Work is progressing rapidly in
the cuts below town, and the only draw-
'back to the speedy completion of the
whole work is the' lack of timber for the
bridge. On account of the required
kind being hard to get, it will take some
time before trainB can run .over the new
structure. j .
Although the price of wheat in New
York, Chicago and other great grain
-centers has been fluctuating and in
clined to raise considerable the last few
day 8, this condition has had bat little
effect on the local markets, and it stands
firm at 70 cents for club and 72 cents
for choice blue stem. Were the roads in
condition so that grain could be hauled
in, much would change'hands at present
prices. There is, however, little in the
warehouses tbat is unsold, and conse
quently, but few sales are reported.
The city council of Prineville has
raised the saloon license from two hun
dred to four hundred dollars a year; the
brewery license from forty to one hun
dred dollars. DrusHiores moat pay a
icen'se of one hundred dollars for selling
liquors in quantities less than one
gallon. Existing saloons are allowed to
take out license at the old rate of two
hundred dollars until j'.rxt September.
Venders of cigarettes are charged one
hundred dollars a year, which practic
ally means the prohibition of the sale
of them.
Some time yesterday evening a couple
of mischievous bova threw rocks at a
large Chinese lantern belonging to Hong,
one of the best-known ceit-suais in tne
city, and as their aim was good, they
succeeded in kn icking the lantern into
cocked hat." It was quite a valuable
concern, being worth about twenty-live
dollars, and Hong is making all kinds of
efforts to baye the guilty parties brougb
to iustice. He sars that he knows the
boys who did it, and if he can get any
proof to substantiate his statement
will be likely to go bard with the lads.
It would be well if some of the boys who
perpetrate such acts were be made an
example of, and there is no doubt that
others would profit by the same. In this
way much of the meanness that is prac
ticed would be stopped.

Work is almost finished on bridge 144,
near Hood River, and it is rumored tbat
in a short time the pile-driver will be

coming through the yard, a half grown
lad attempted to swing on to one of the

chance tbat be was not thrown nnder
the wheels and cut to pieces. ' This
should be a warning to lads who are in
the habit of swinging'on trains in motion
Besides, if tbe city marshal catches
them indulging in this dangerous prac
tice, he will place them under arrest.
About 1 o clock Sunday morning an
individual who had drank too deeply
the flowing bowl, made the rounds of
number of residences and demanded
stay all night. When sent from one
place be would proceed to another and
so on until he had gone to three or fou
places. Tbe authorities were informed
by telephone of his action and succeed
ed in finding him, and it was only by
force that be was persuaded to partake
of the lodgings tbey offered him in the
city jail. He was quite a rugged indi
vidua, and gave Sheriff Driver and
Mr. Wilev a considerable amount of
trouble. This morning he was brought
before the recorder and fined $10. .

was held at the high school building for
the purpose of levying a tax for the

The attendance at the meeting was net

THE CASE GOING SLOWLY.
Counsels In 9eufert Bros.' Case Sparring;
.All Day.
Saturday's Dally .
The case of the United States vs. Seu
fert Bros., to condemn right of way for
the proposed Celilo boat railway, is not
progressing as rapidly as might be ex
pected, from the amount of experience
it has had in being, tried. Thursday the
entire day was occupied in taking tbe
testimony of two witnesses and in squab
bling over what parts of their testimony
eiiooia oeaamitted, and what-questions
they should and should not be allowed
to answer.
ine nrst witness was A. Wmans, who
has a fishery on the north side of the
Columbia opposite Seufert Bros.' fishery.
His testimony was to the effect tbat
Seufert Bros.' fishing privilege was'
worth $150,000, and that after the boat
railway was built it would be reduced to
only $75,000. Tbe second witness was
Thomas A. Hudson, a real estate dealer,
of The Dalle9,whose opinion was that the
construction of the boat railway would
damage Seufert Bros.' property ,$100,000
or more. Lionel Webster, counsel for
the defendants, insisted on asking Hud
son questions which counsel for the gov
ernment insisted should not be asked,
and the continual sparring over this was
very trying on the patience of the court,
who finally peremptorily refused to al
low some questions to be asked or an
swered. Just how long the trial is like
ly to last is what no one can find out.
. The defense is seeking to introduce
evidence to establish heavv damnppp.
while the government is making every
effort to have it excluded upen the
ground that the jury, having examined
the premises, is a competent judge. It
is feared by the United States district
attorney tbat the testimony of witnesses
favorable to the interests of the defend
ant will have a tenlencv to influence
the jury to award .higher damages.
the condition that tbe building commit
tee will employ mechanics to correct
some mistakes made by the contractors,
putting it in a condition so that it will
be fully in keeping .with the plans and
specifications. The committee has ac
cepted the building, paying the full
price of the contract, and also a liberal
price for all extra work, and now they
will have the errors corrected, and the
new Lutheran church will be as strong
and substantial as it is neat and attract
ive. D. W Pierce &"Son of Goldendale
have .received the contract for placing
the furniture, anil they have already de
livered the .altar, pulpit, reading desk
and hymn-boards. This part of the fur
niture is really beautiful, and the pews
will no doubt be of the eame quality.
The church will probably be ready for
dedication in six or eight weekB.

RESULT OF A FEUD.
One Yamhill Coonty Farmer
Another.
Kills
Paul Ducleos, a farmer living in the
Webfoot neighborhood, about ten miles
sontb of McMinnville, was shot and In
stantly killed at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning by Fred Clem mens, 20 years
old. The trouble was tbe result of an
old feud that has existed between tbe
two families for a long time. Coroner
Benton, of Dayton, and Sheriff Henry, of
McMinnville, were hastily summoned to
tbe scene. The coroner's inquest dis
closed facts as to the cause of the killing
which are corroborated by the residents
of the neighborhood.
Yonng Clemmens was summoned, and
in reply to questions told his story in
substance as follows:
;'I had known Paul Ducleos in life. I
saw him alive, this morning about 10
o'clock, and know the causeof hisdeath.
I started to go hunting this morning,
going through the field to the line be
tween our place and tbat of Mr. Mackey.
I then went down tbe bill by L. Baker's
place. Here I saw Ducleos approaching
from tlkfi sarr.e direction that 1 had come.
When he was within about 50 yards he
began to abase me, qnd .still came
nearer, swearing and threatening to kill
me. , When he was close to me he palled
off his mittens, or gloves, ' and began to
draw his gun. '.When he had raised it to
about the range of my head I fired." .
Trouble had existed between tbe Du
cleos and Clemmens families for a long"
time, and it nearly reached a climax,
last fall during harvest, when Clemmens,
and his father and the two Ducleos boys,
came near fighting. Since then the bit
terness has been more intense, and the
Ducleos boys have promiscuously threat
ened the lives of the two Clemmens
men'. Duclocs' gun was found by his
side in full readiness for shooting.

The suit of the United States vs. Seu
fert Bros, was resumed iu the United
States circuit court Saturday.
Frank A. Seufert, one of the owners of
the property involved, was the principal
witnees examined.
According to his testimony the prop
erty, as it now stands, is worth at least
$300,000, from which is realized an nn
nual income of from $30,000 to $40,000
He said his company "handles and ships
over the O. & N. road from 160 to 180
carloads of freight each vear. As the
property now Etands freight is loaded
and unloaded directly from the cars on
the Seufert property, but on construc
tion of the boat railway all tbe freight
would have to be transnorted across
ts track, and it would be impossible for
the proposed railway to be constructed
without causing tbe owners of the prop
erty great inconvenience and additional
expense.
Mr. Seufert stated also that natnrally
there would be a' great deal of damage
ansa through the interruption of busi
ness while the work of construction is
going on. It is impossible to specifically
outline such damages, but if tbe work
was carried on during the run of salmon
it would necessarily be great.
The evidence so far introduced for the
government fixes tbe damage at $12,000
to $15,000.
A Successful. Kevlval Closed.
The revival meetings, which have
been in progress at tbe Christian church
during the past four weeks, terminated
Sunday. The pastor, Elder Boltz, has
proven himself to be an untiring worker
in behalf of the claims of holy writ;
likewise a forceful and logical expounder
of Christian principles. Tbe commodi
ous church building has been crowded
at each service by deeply interested aud
itors, and the visible results of the meet
ing were forty additions to tbe member
ship of the church twenty-two by con
fession and baptism. At the close of
the service that evening each of the new
converts was presented with a neat
copy , of the discipline of the Christian
church, which proved to be nothing
more nor less than the New Testament.
This cbnrch, which has been without
a paetor for tbe past eight months, has
seemingly taken on now life and vigor,
and, it is believed, will in future be an
important factor in the effort to elimin
ate error and sin from this community.

The. long-orawn-out trial of the case
of tbe United States vs. the Seufert
Bros. Co. promises to come to annd
today. This trial has now occupied
nearly a week, and the two former trials
were nearly as long. Tbe last witness
in rebuttal gave bis testimony yester
day morning, and before noon argument
was commenced. -
Owing to the importance of the case,
yesterday afternoon did not iffer suffi
cient time for the attorneys to finish
their arguments of the case, and Seu
iert'e attorney had to put off his closing
argument until this morning. After be
has finished, the case will go to tbe jury,
and it may take them come time to come
to a decision. '
This morning while Deputy Sheriff
Kelly was engaged at his desk he noticed
that one of the prisoners was exceeding
ly cheerful, and strode from one side of
the jail to the other, singing songs and
making-as much noise as he possibly
could; at the eame time trying hard not
to arouse the suspicion of the sheriff.
Although Mr. Kelly was very busy with
his books, he could not help recalling an
incident that occurred three years ago.
when a prisoner became equally mirth
ful and made a like play while bis con
federates were making an attempt to
dig their way out of jail.
While he was thinking this matter
over, John Fitzgerald, the jailer, came
in, and he was asked to go inside, and
see if everything was ail right. Mr.
Filzgerald did so, and npon entering
soon saw the cause of all the singing.
One of tbem had secured a piece of iron,
which had been broken off from a shut
ter in the cell, and with its aid had com
pletely removed one of the br'cks from
the wall and loosened the mortar around
several others,' to that it would haye
been an easy matter to remove tbem.
However, the sheet-iron, which is placed
between tbe bricks in the wall, made
their efforts' to gain their liberty futile.'
Thev made a bold attempt, and had not '
Mr. 'Kelly suspected w hat they were
doing, they would, at the very least,
have made a thorough investigatiion as
to the structure of the jail wall, if they
did not succeed in gaining their liberty.
As a consequence of their folly they
are now confined in their respective
cells. .
Little Alice Wells Drowned.
Tuesday Mr. Wm. Michell received 'a
telegram from H. W. Wells which said
that his little daughter, Alice, was
drowned at Prosser, Wash., Monday;
also that they would arrive in this city
with the remains this morning.
Tbe family of Mr. Wells had made
The Dalles their home until last fall.
when they, moved to Proseer that they
might be with Mr. Wells, who was there
superintending the. care of his sheep.
No" particulars of the accident were re
ceived, but its announcement alone waa
sufficient to sadden tbe hearts of tbe
many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wells in
this citv.
Little Alice was a pretty little girl of
about 6 years, particularly bright and
vivacious, and being tbe only daughter,
her loss will be doubly felt.
