Saturdays Dailjf "Not a true bill" was returned by the grand jury Thursday as to young Clem mens, who shot and instantly killed Paul Duclos near Dayton on January 29th. Five, splendid French merino rams were shipped through this city to Cbas. Cunningham, of Umatilla conuty, on Tbnreday. The five weighed 1200 ponnds and cost $600 in Sacramento, Cat. A party of four men arrived in Sisters, Crook' county, recertly, having crossed the mountains from the west by the Mc Kenzie route. They passed over eighteen miles of snow, the deepest place not ex ceeding five feet. Yesterday afternoon the 7-year old daughter of Harry Mahear, of 8-Mile, fell from a horse and broke one of her arms. She was brought to the city last evening and the fracture was reduced, eo that she is resting easy today. Counsel for the defendant desiring to make some further arguments in the case of the United States vs. I. H. Taffe, an action having for its object the con demnation of certain lands belonging to Taffe, near Celilo, Jndge Bellinger yes terday con-fnted to give the counsel an audience Monday, April 4th, at 1:30 p. m. Work on the new water main was finiehed this morning, and Marshal I.auer has men at work today raking the rocks that have been thrown up by the excavating, off the street, and put ting the entire street in good shape. It would be a decided improvement if-he ' were to have the rctks ranked oft all of Second and Third streets, and alsp the - principal side streets. It would not only make it pleasanter to drive and ride over those streets, but also would . be of great benefit to our people as far as wear and tear of vehicles is con cerned. Last night a man giving his name as Arthur Edie. gave himself np to Night watchman Wiley, staling that be was ' from Clarke county, Missouri, and was wanted there for the attempted murder of his cousin two years ago. . He showed letters and other proofs that what he said was true, and at present he is in the county jail waiting actil Sheriff Driver finds ont whether or not the an - thorities of that state want hiin. If they do, be wi'l be kept in jail in this place until he is sent for. It looks very much ' as if he were working the authorities for transportation to Missouri. A serious and what might have proven a fatal accident occurred near the Sum mit last evening. Gus Heilburg and a . fellow-laborer named Canfield were en gaged in blasting at the fisb wheel owned by the Chinaman known aa Pete. As far as we conld find out, the two men . were putting in a blast at the time of the explosion, and Heilburg, it appears, was handling the powder for the same, when it exploded, burning bis face in a horrible manner, and severely injuring both his eyes. One of bis arms was also badly burned. He was brought to the city and Dr. Hollister attended his in juries. The doctor despairs of saving one of bis eyes, bat thinks he may re gain tb6 sight of the other. Canfield . was also burned about the face with the powder, but his injuries are not serious. Monday's Dally. v Three carloads of bogB were unloaded and fed at the stock yards yesterday afternoon. Two carloads are from Isl land City, while one ia from Weiser, Idaho. The high scores at the Umatilla Honee alleys for the past week were as follows : . Maetz, Monday, 63; Nichols, Tuesday, 55; Maetz, Wednesday, 51, Thursday, 60, Friday, 57, Saturday, 66; C.Schmidt, jr., Sunday, 63. The annaal'election of the D. P. & A. N. Co. took place-Saturday evening, and resulted in the old board being retained, the only change being the secretary. L. E. Crowe was chosen ;to succeed Charles Phillips. - Six pairs of fine new blankets belong ing to an Indian by the name of Kieho wak, were stolen from the East End feed yard last night. In all probability they were taken by tramps, but as yet no clue to the perpetrators of the crime ' have been found. The high scores at the club alleys for the past week were as follows : Blake ley, Monday, 55 ; Hostetler, Tuesday ,63 ; Ogden, Wednesday, 60, Thursday, 59, Friday, 52; Hostetler, Saturday, 55; Bennet, Sunday, 61. On Tuesday Miss Redmond scored 38, and on Friday Mrs. Will Condon held the ladies record for the day with 39. On Saturday, April 2d, Mr. Charles Waltber and Miss Mary Klllendank were united in marriage. The cere mony was performed by Rev. Grey, of the Lutheran church; at his residence, and was attended by, but a few of the intimate friends of the young couple. Both are from Cbenoweth, and they left yesterday for their home. ' . . Today diaries J. Gienger accepted a position with the Snipes-Kinersly Drng Co. in this city. Mr. Gienger has worked for a number of years in Wake ley's Drug Co. in San Francisco, and is certainly a competent pharmacist. He speaks German fluently, which makes it very convenient for the German patrons of this popular firm. Yesterday evening those interested in the performance of "King Hallabahoola II," had. their beautiful large sign stretched across Second street from Bonn Bros.' store to the Chapman block. The sign is very catchy and will be an excel lent reminder of the splendid entertain ment that will be put on at the Vogt on the 12th. ' . j Arthur Eddie, the man who gave him self uptojtbe. authorities Friday evening stating tnat he was wanted in Missouri to answer for the attempt to commit murder there several yenre'ago, was turned looso yesterday. It was found that his principal aim . was to have the authorities give hiui a free pass to Missouri, but in this attempt he failed singularly. ' At about 8 130 yesterday morning an alarm of fire was turned in, and it was found that a small blaze had started in the rear of the building owned by Max Vogt, which is occupied at present by Mrs. E. E. Briggs. It is not known how the blaze originated and it is fortu nate that it was discovered so soon. Be fore the firemen had time to get their machinery in place, a bucket brigade had the flames extinguished. . The patrons of the D. P. & A. X. Co. will be sorry to hear that Captain Waud, of the steamer Regulator, has presented his resignation as captain of that steam er in order to accept a position offered him by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Co. on the Yukon. Of the various cap tains that the D. P, & A. X. Co. have employed. Captain Waud is probably the best swift water captain, as well as a careful pilot. This is no doubt the reaeon that be has received the hand Eome offer from the Canadian Pacific. He has a contract with that company to run a boat on the Yukon for a year, with a salary of $200 per month, and will leave about the 15lh inst. While Capt. Wand has been on the Regulator he has made innumerable friends, who will miss bis genial presence, which made everyone feel perfertly at home while traveling, on that line, as well as safe with such a captain at the helm. Tuesday's Dally. A party of seven from Davis creek, in Lake connty, passed through Lakeview recently on their way to Alaska. They have two wagons and eighty head of horses and will go overland as far as they can. Five hundred feet of new hose have been purchased by the committee on fire and water, which is a very com' mendable move, since the fire depart ment had not sufficient hose in case of a serious fire. v ' The two tracklaying crews on the As toria & Columbia River railroad com pleted the all-rail connection between Astoria and Portland at a point near Clatskanie at 4 :30 p. m. Sunday. Sev eral hundred citizens of that place, headed by the Clatekanie band, were present to witness the driving of the last spike. Today the work of putting the tin roof on the Wasco warehouse was begun by Maier & Benton's tinners, and as soon as they have finished this work, which will take but a few days, the bnilding will be ready to receive the large wool crop which will in a short time begin to roll in at the rate of thousands of pounds a day. William C. Kaufman, who owns a farm on the banks of the Columbia river about sixteen miles from Wilbur, was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Arment last Wednesday on the charge of having assaulted Sarah M. Nee, an Indian woman living on the reservation, with intent to kill her. Some think it is a put np job to get Kaufman out of the way and then jump The Republican county convention for Crook connty was held last Satur day and resulted as follows: ' Delegates to the state convention Dr. V. Gesner, B. F. Allen,' J. C. Cartwright, J. H. Oakes. Representative J. M. William son. Sheriff J. H. Grev. Clerk Ves Belknap. Treasurer B. F. Nichols. Commissioner H. B. Stewart. As sessor Shone. Surveyor C. F. Smith. School superintendent H. B. Kibble. Coroner Gus Lipman. . Today's bulletin does not bring forth any new-developments in the war ques tion further than that the president's message is ready and will be presented to congress tomorrow. It also states that Uncle Sam is not looking for medi ation, and that if there is any backing dawn done it will be by Spain. . Pope Leo hopes to avert war, and has offered suggestions to both "countries. The United States will stand firm on the Cuban question, and Spanish atrocities mast stop immediately. - Yesterday a a call -was' made on the long distance line from Walla Walla, for a party by the name of Louis Kinney, who some time ago came to this place to accept a a position as a laborer. The call was made by. his wife, who said their children were sick, one of them? being at the point of death.- Search was made for Kinney, but he could not be found. It is said the family is without means of support. If anyone knows of the where abouts of the party tbey will de well to report o the Oregon Telephone Co. In speaking of the price of admission to "King Hallabahoola II" in an issue of a few days ago an error was made. It should have been 75 cents for tickets, no extra charge being made for reserved seats. The box office wiil open at 9 a. m. next Friday, and at that time seats can be reserved. No eeats can be re served before hand, and the first to be on hand will have the choice of seats. No partiality will be ehowo to any one, and in order to prevent any dissatisfac tion,' no person will be allowed tore serve more than five seats. The Eastern Oregon Land Co., through its attorneys, Huntington & Wilson, of this city, has. commenced thirteen more actions in the United States circuit court to dispossess eettlers of Sherman county who are considered squatters, or trespassers under its construction of congressional grants, 'upon its lands. The settlers a flee ted by these euits are Herman . Rickman. Robert Jones, A. Gosser, Henry Dyce, ' J. M. Powell, James Mack en, Thomas Macken, Uriah Serviss, J. N. Coyle, L. V. Moore, A. Perrault, Henry Smith and Hattie L. Smith, his wife, and John Fulton. Jae. Macken, Thomas Macken and Uriah Serviee, having already proved up on their claims and obtained title from the government, the actions as. to. them are brought in . the equity department to have-the patents canceled. MR. BETTINGEN'S FUNERAL. The I-t Rites Took Place From the , Catholic Church This Morning. Today the remains of the late Albert Bettingen were laid to rest in the Catho lic cemetery. At 9 o'clock the services at the church began, and the number of friends who attended showed in what high esteem, the departed was held in oar city. A requiem high mass was Eung by Rev.' Father Bolla, assisted by the choir, while Rev. Bronsgeest, in a lengthy ad dress, paid fitting tribute to the life and character of the deceased member of his congregatiop. - The services at the church lasted until ' almost 11 o'clock, at which time the long funeral procession termed and wound its way to the cemetery. The bearers of the pall were picked from old-time friends and associates of Mr. Bettingen. They were Ex-Governor Moody, John Bonn, Fred Lempke, T. T. Nichols, Eniil Schanno and George Liebe. Last ailght's Performance. It seems to be always the case that when a first-class performance is pot on a Dalles stage it is poorly attended, and last night only demonstrated the fact the plainer. - The performance of Dante (Eliason), was superior to any of the kind that has ever been seen in tbecity, His sleight-of-hand performances were clever in the extreme, and many.of his tricks were new, original, and certainly mysterious. His work in magic was wonderful, as was also the performance .of Mile Ed- munda counted not t? be surpassed. We can readily recommend this per formance to the public, and are pleased to state that Dilute will be with as again this evening. . We sincerely hope that tonight's entertainment will be better attended than was that of last evening, for it has proven itself well worth see ing. ' Don't TV orrjr About the Rooster. Yon remember the story of Carlyle and the rooster that crowed early in ttie morning. Carlyle complained and the owner promptly suppressed the rooster But still Carlyle didn't sleep. "It isn't the noise of his crowing that disturbs me now,'' be said, "it is lying awake ex pecting him to crow." We will allow you to make your own application, of this Etory. All Pease & Mays ask is that you look at their H. S. &' M. line before buying a new euit for Easter. The D. C. & A. C. Minstrels. The entertainment to be given by this organization on the 12th, will no doubt ba success. It certainly should -be, as the boys have given lots of time and hard work to its preparation. It prom ises to be a brilliant affair ; indeed we hardly see how it conld be otherwise, considering the number of beautiful hats that are being ' purchased of Pease & Mays by the ladies of The Dalles.

Saturday's Dally This morning's bulletin states that the president has given' np hope of set tling the Cuban matter peaceably and thinks at last , that war is ineve table. It was thought for a time that Spain was weakening', but her answer to the presi dent's request for the freedom of Cuba showed no such indications and is en tirely unsatisfactorily to our govern ment. Today President McKinley will be en gaged in preparing bis message and the same will be given to congress Monday. . It is rumored that Great Britain will support the United States in case of necessity. Russia is at present neutral, while France, Germany, Austria and Italy are in sympathy with-Spain. Blanco says "the president of the United States will either have to fight or back down, as the Spanish ministry will not comply with bis requests re garding Cuba." The situation looks more like war than evtr and it is expected that it will be declared before Monday night. IN SKAGUAY. Extracts From a Letter Written by George Kranss. - Skaguay, Aiaska, March 23, 1898. Three boats arrived here today. The' weather here is very cold, and the air is very keen ; consequently a person needs lots of good clothes. As soon as the sun goes down it gets awful ly cold,. and fhe mud freezes so hard that it will hold np a loaded wagon. A pereon can see all kinds of sleds here, which are drawn by mules, horses dogs, oxen and goats. The reports concerning the number of deaths here are unfounded. As far as 1 can learn there were only two deaths, occurred; one man was shot and one frozen on the trail. The health of the people is vary good. ' Mr. Walters and mvself are bunking over the store ; bat as we haven't any stove, we put all of our time in at the store. Walters is now. sitting on top of the stove, and says that is the best place be has struck since he came here. He is working in a tin shop. We expect to go into the interior, as there has been a new mine; discovered on Salmon river, just half way to Dawson City ; also an other on Welch creek. They are re ported to be very rich, and as soon as we can get money enough to go, we will try mining, as we do not make anything working for wages. The town is very, dull at present, and there is very little building going on. The carpenters are many, and for a time lumber was scarce, but now there is plenty of it. The lake, which supplies the town with water, is just east of ne, and is 500 feet higher than Skaguay. The ice on it is about two feet thick ; but the peo ple go to the lake to fish'. Sunday is just the same aa any other day in Skaguay. The theater is open every evening, and the admission is 25 cents. As yet we have not attended and do not intend to. ' Charlie Stone, wife and baby are here. T iey are going over the trail to Dawson C:ty. . Do not forget, I haven't any love for this country, but want to get back home as soon as God will let me. The coun try around The Dalles is a heaven com pared with tbis God-forsaken country. The Wasco Warehouse. The fourth annual circular of the Was co Warehouse Company, of The Dalles, now being sent to the woolgrowers of Eastern Oregon and Washington, is full of valuable information about the past and present, state of the wool market, the wool supply and fntnre proBpecte. The companies means of obtaining correct information on these points are second to none on the Pacific coast. It is gratyfying, therefore, to find the cir culars expressing the conviction that there is every prospect that wool will command a good and ready market at a fair price during the coming season." Attention is justly called to the vast superiority of The Dalles over every other wool market on the Pacific coast. Her terminal facilities, at the bead of navigation, places her in a position to command the best competitive freight rates west of the Missouri -river, while the 8,000,000 rounds of wool annually brought to her warehouses attract a large number of the best and largest wool buyers in the United States and secure the stiffen possible competition in the matter bf prices. The company calls attention to the fact that it has added a new two-story brick addition to its already extensive warehouse, which now gives it 100,000 square feet of floor room, all under one roof, making onebf the most comiiio dioas, best lighted, best equipped and best protected storage and forwarding The VOGT OPERA HOUS WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The circular, finally, with pardonable pride, refers to all who have ever done business with the company, aa to good, clean and honest service and reasonable charges. The company is doing a ettict ly warehouse business no merchandis ing nor manipulating, nor commission, and is now ready, as always, to make advances to woolgrowers, covering snear ing and other, incidental expenses; to pay all freight to teamsters, and to make reasonable advances upon wools stored in its warehouse to enable growers to bold for higher prices. THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. . A Very Successful Meeting Held Satur day at Bood ltlver. Hood River, April 2, 1898. Editob Chronicle : The local teachers' institute, held in the public school building Qt this place today under the direction bf County Su perintendent Gilbert, was a verv suc cessful one in every way. The attend ance of teachers and others interested in the welfare of the public schools was quite large, and the day was paseed pleasantly snd profitably. The exercises comprised papers and discussions upon the following topics "Opening Day at School," "Language in the Primary Grades," "Music," "Pen manahip," "Reading," "Number Work' and "School Room Decoration." Much interest therein was manifested by the teachers, and all felt benefited and strengthened by the opportunity thus given to exchange ideas and methods. One teacher said, "Conld we have such meetings oftener, there would be in creased interest in our school work." It is to be hoped that other meetings will follow tbis one in the near future. At the close of the morning session all partook of a delightful lunch, which had been' prepared by the ladies of Hood River and was served in one of the va cant rooms in tbe school building. It is needless to say that tbe repast was en joyed by everyone, and that all will hold in. pleasant remembrance, the kindly treatment accorded by these ladies, who knew, eo well bow to tempt and please the palate and supply the wants of the "inner man." By a vote of thaLks at the close of tbe exercises the teachers expressed their appreciation of the manner in which they bad been entertained by the peo ple of Hood River. In the evening an interesting and en tertaining program was rendered at the M. E. church. - There were short and instructive addresses by Rev. Dr. Hines, of Hood River, and Prof. Ackerman, of Portland, and music, songs and recita tions by local talent. It was a fitting close to the work of tbe day, and was en joyed by all. The following teachers and others were present from The Dalles: Supt. Gilbert and wife, Prof. Gavin and wife, Mesdames Baldwin and Roche, Misses Rate and Ella Cooper, Tena and Louise Rintoul, Charlotte and Emma Roberts, Nan Cooper, Salina Pbirmao', Melissa Hill and Lena Sue)!. . X. THE FOREST RESERVES. Communication From Blnger Hermann On the Forest Ueserves. The following letter was received by one of our townsmen in answer to ques tions concerning the torest reserve, and as it will ondeobtedly be of interest to many of oar people, we i ublish it. Tbe questions asked were suggested by dif ferent newspaper articles, as canbe seen by the communication : " Dept. op thk Interior, iior, ) FFICE, 5- '98. ) . General Land Office Washington, March 22, My Dear Sir t Your kind favor is just at band, in which yon call atten tion to matters connected with the Cas cade forest reserve: I am glad to re ceive your opinion aa to the proposed jarsdiction over that reserve. The complaint contained in the clipping from the Tacoma newspaper is without and Athletic Club, II. NEWEST SONGS, THE CAST. 40 THE CAST. 4tt COSTING S400. NEW SCENERY! Friday morning, April 8th, at 9 o'clock,, any foundation whatever; there is not au item of truth in it. No reservation baB any effect upon mining territory, nor does it effect any claim whatever, agricultural or otherwise, which have been initiated prior to the reservation or.itr. The clipping referred to states that its effect is to reeerve from settle ment and mining operations eighty-four per cent of Jefferson county. That can not lie true, since all such settlements and all mining operations are recognized under the reeerve. Any lands inside of a reserve more valuable for other pur poses than tor forestry can, under the law, as it now stands, and under oar regulations, upon a satisfactory showing, be excluded from the reservation. . The geological survey is new at work, under the large appropriations made by congress, making surveys of all tuch character of territory in the reserves. There has been a great deal of erroneous impression with regard to tbe natoieof these reserves. Yon also think that there ehonld be an order allowing any citizen, for a reasonable compensation, to go upon eaid reserves and take down any dead or other timber that is fully matured and wnicb can be removed without injury to the young growing timber. I have to reply that this is also permitted to be done under our roles ; and regulations. We are selling timber from reservations such as yon describe. Having been a long time in tbe West myself, I had much to de in the framing: of the reservation rules, and I made it my duty to make them eo liberal as well as elastic that no material interests should be impaired, while at the same time our great forests would be pro tected. I expect to realize enough money from timber gold from reservations to pay for the entire force required to pro tect them as well as to prevent fires.The question that is agitated now is as to whether stockmen going in onto tbe res ervation should be permitted to graze upon any specific portions, or whether they should be required to bave permits for a general pasturage upon any por tion, and whether they should also be subject to some compensation in order to recompense tbe government for pro tecting tbe reserve, v, .
