da valley promises well. The seeding
is well nnder way. and in many of the
fields the plants are already up. Geo.
Austin, a Utah sugar beet expert, says
. that the Grand Ronde valley is the ideal
borne of the beet. It would be well to
give Wasco county's fertile soil a trial in
beet raising.
Thursday A. A. Jayne returned from
Prineville, where he has been attending
court. The present term of court will
be very short, as "no indictments were

It is stated British and German busi
ness interests at Manila are greater than
those of the. Spaniards. Of the thirty-
three principal trading houses only five
are Spanish. Of the remainder, four
teen, including four Swiss, are German,
twelve are English, one Dutch and one
Belgian. Of-the thirteen large factories,
- only six are Spanish. .
In less than two weeks the state en
campment will be held in this city, and,
if hard work on the part of the commit

the best encampments ever held in the

everything has been done to advertise
' the encampment thoroughly. The Van
couver and tb Dalles bands and Prof.
Birgfeld's orchestra will furnish the
ma sic. A committee of The Dalles, best
best entertainers will have charge of the

campment will be a very - enjoyable
event. "
One of the iargest packers of salmon
on the Columbia river estimated yester
day tbat this season's pack would be 20
per cent less than last year. He stated
that as last season was an exceptional
one, be is of the opinion that 1898 will
be an average year. The run of fish still
continues very light, and it is thought
there will not he much improvement
nntil after May 15th. Most of the fish
taken are now sold to the ' cold-storage
shippers.
Cleveland Donaldson, 14-year-old son
of Joseph Donaldson, of Tillamook ac

for his sister, who is sick. As he did not
return search was made, and at midnight
his body was found about balf a mile
from home. The charge of shot entered
bis left armpit, ranged upward and came
out at bis neck. It is supposed he tried
to draw his gun over a log by the muzze!,
when the hammer struck and the weapon
was discharged. v
W. M. Rudio, a merchant and leading
cattle-grower and dealer, of Lone Creek,
Wednesday started ' a band of 100 fine
beef cattle for Pendleton, from which
point tbey will be shipped to Seattle, en
route for Alaska. Mr. Rudio will per
sonally superintend the shipment of the
cattle, which be estimates will cost him
something' over f 10,000, delivered in
Dawson. He expects to reach the
northern .city in August, barring-accidents.
This band of cattle comprises
the largest and best steers that could be
purchased in Grant county, and are said
to be worth $65 and $70 per bead in the
Oregon market. Mr. Rudio is accoin
pained by a corps of experienced stock
men, and being himself a thorough cat
tlmian and . nsed . to the hardships of
frontier life, departs with every prospect
of a Miu-essful trip.
Wednesday night' shooting affray at
La Grande, in which Jim Parkerdid the
shooting, resulted more eeriously than
was at first supposed. Parker succeeded
in hitting both men, slightly wounding
Stewart in the breast. Bender, Ste
wart's partner, was more nnfortunate. a
bullet striking him in the lower part of
the neck, passing through and coming
out below the shoulder blade. Parker
waived examination before Justice - Van
Buien, and was held to appear before
the grand jury in $1000 bonds. He was
nnable to secure bonds', and is now con
fined in the county jail at Union.
Deputy County Clerk Walter Ruble,
of Whitman county, has bet n cited to
appear in the superior conrt Monday to
show cause why be should not be pun
ished for contempt. The order states
tbat Ruble is custodian cf probate rec
ords; that an order was made in
structing the torning over of $5l)0 be
longing to the Wieely estate to the
wife of the deceased, and that he kept
of this sum $125 for Lis own use. Ruble
says the charges are false and has sued
Judge McDonald for " $125,000 damages
for slander. He says ' that the Judge
McDonald made the order in retaliation
for efforts to prove him unworthy of
membership in the Christian church,
because of wine drinking.
For some time, past, says the Oregon
ian there has been an indictmant hang
ing over I. H. Taff. in the United
States court, containing three counts:
First, for endeavoring to corruptly iu
fltnce Jurror Bratton by giving him his
written obligation in the sum of $2500,
with the express understauding tbat said
Bratton was to stand for a large verdict
against the government in favor of Taffe;
second, attempting to influence Juror
Killfether in the same manner, and
third, for Daring Killfatber $10 to in
fluence bim to bold out for a large
verdict. To this indictment Taffe had
entered a plea of not guilty, bnt evidant-
ly desiring to have the matter off -hisi
hands and the slate wiped clean, he yes
terday appeajrd before Judge' Bellinger
and though Richard Nixon, bis attorney,
withdrew his former plea and entered a
plea of guilty to the first two counts,
and not guilty to the third count. The
third count was dismissed, and Judge
Billings sentenced Taffe to pay a fine of
$1000. This is the maximum fine pro
vided, but to it might have been; added
one years imprisonment, so Taffe cannot
consider tbat he was harshly treated.

county, brought in two young badgers,
about six weeks' old. He captured them
when they were quite young, and they
are perfectly tame and would make very
pretty pets.
The rise in the Columbia is very
gradual this year. At present it stands
at a trifle over1 the 21-foot maik, and is
coming np a few inches daily. As the
weather has been quite warm during the
last few days, a more rapid rise is ex
pected. The Columbia Catdy Factory yester
day underwent a thorough course of re
pairs. The paint brush was applied
freely, which gives It a more cheerful
appearance, while a new and large stock
of candies, cigars and tobaccos are being
put in so that it will be one of the most
cheerful and commodious resorts in the
city. Everything in the way of refresh
ments will be served in the best manner
possible by the new proprietor, Mr.
Ballard.

Athletic Club will Uke part in the tour
uaoaent to come off in Portland on Fri
day May 13th. It will be impossible

places, and it is thought a strong team
will represent the club on tbat occasion.
In yesterdav'a issue we stated that
Lawrence Manning, the vocalist, would
give a ' concert here nnder the auspices
of the Elks', lodge. This statement was
premature, since no arrangement -had
been made with the Elks, at the time
he gave as the information, and that
lodge requests that the mistake be cor
rected, since no such plans have been
made.
Dennis McAuhffe, one of Grant coun
ty's wealthiest residents, died in Canyon
City Wednesday.of cancerof the stomach
at the age of 71. He was a native of
Irland, and came to Canyon City in the
early '60s, daring the great gold ex
citement. He ran a small merchandise

, Yesterdav a band of fifty head of
horses was taken across on the ferry and
will be driven through the Ellensbnrg

tra high price in this part of the country
aut if the venture proves successful the
owners of the horses will have money in
abundance.
A large colony of Russians arrived" in
Colfax Wednesday. They left their
native land March 18. They are deligh
ted with the appearence of the county
and the warm spring weather, which is a
greater contrast to their own country,
which was covered with four feetof snow,
and the weather was intensely cold when
they left. They will eettle in Whitman
county and engage in farming.
In Yamhill county, says the Newberg
Graphic, a finer prospect for a big wheat
crop has never been seen at this time in
the season. There is scarcely a poor
piefce of fall-sown wbr-at in the country,
and the acreage is unusually large. The
weather has been fine for spring sowing,
and farmers have been improving the
time. It looks as if the farmers ' will be
able to make a clean-up this fall that will
put them on their feet and leave them
with money to spare.
A dispatch from Tacoma, Wash., says :
"About 20 per cent of the members of
the National Guard companies thu3 far
examined by the examining surgeon at
Camp Rogers have failed to pass on
acconnt cf physical disability. Thurs
day night at a.meeting of the line offi
cers of the regiment an expression was
given by some of the company com
manders that, if the same percentage of
their men was refused, they would take
their companies home and make no at
tempt to be mustered in. ' 'The officers
also agreed upon a telegram, which was
sent to Washington today, asking that
the examining and mastering officers be
instructed to admit the line officers of
the regiment without subjecting them to
the physical examination."
'". The Pacific Circle, Women of Wood
craft, is forging to the front. Note this :
During the time between April 4th and
May 2d, the grand clerk at Leadville,
Colorado, registered the names of 509
benefit members. The Pacific Circle
now pays the amount of $2000 on one as
sessment. There will soon be eight or
nine $100 monuments erected to the
memory of deceased benefit members.
The last fraternal insurance policy of
$2000 was paid by the Circle within five
days after the proof of death had been
handed to the grand clerk. The Circle
has no sinking or reserve funds except
the reserve of neighborly love and acts
of kindness and friendship for its , mem
bership.. It knows no cliques nor creeds,
bnt is trnly a good order for the poor
woman who desires to leave a legacy, at
the time of ber death, to those she loves.
Any Woodman who wants additional
insurance shouid call on Cedar Circle,

Quite a lot of excitement was caused
Sunday evening, by a horse running
away with a 12-year-old boy named
Dell Haywood. The boy got on the
horse on Fourth street and some young'
sters scared the animal by throwing
rocks at it. It -took a spurt up the
Methodist bill and from O. D. Taylor's
residence turned west as far as the Bap
tist church, where it was stopped. The
boy was not hurt although badly feared ,
and what might have been a serious ac
cident turned out lucky for all con
cerned. .

Sunday. While here he renewed his
acquaintance with Fen Batty and his
other friends, on whom he made short,

pleasure he took in meeting the Dalles
boys, he returned on the first division
of the excursion train, while' it is unnec
essary to say that Fen was at his post as
night clerk promptly at 6.

As is tbe case on all such accasions, a
number of tough characters were among
those who came, but there were were
also a number of the best people of Port
land among the excursionists. Fault
was found by" some of our citizens for
not having a brass band and other means
of receiving and entertaining tbe guests.
However, the Portland people bad all to
do with tbe preparations and our people
probably overlooked this matter. Tbe
visitors were granted all necessary priv
ileges in order that tbey might enjoy
themselves, and no fault can ' be found
with tbe hospitality of tbe people of this
city. The two sections of the train

ARMY REGULATIONS TOO SEVERE
Officers and Men Disappointed at Num
ber Passing; MusterNothing Heard
From -Company G.
. While the .officers and men of the Na
tional Guard expected to be subjected to
a severe physical examination before
muster, the result of the first day's work
of the United States 'examining surgeon
and mustering officer was a disagreeable
surprise to all of them. Fully 40 per
cent of the men examined Thursday
failed to pass muster, most of them be
cause they weighed too much or too
little in proportion to their stature.
Thirty men were rejected from Captain
Heath's crack company from McMinn
ville. Company A, of Portland, Buffeted
a like fate. Not a jot or tittle was abat
ed from tbe strict letter of the army reg
ulations, and when the labors of the ex
amining officers are com pie tea there
promises to be little more left of the
First regiment ot Oregon volunteers than
was left of the Light Brigade after the
charge of Balaklava.
It was clearly evident before the ex
amination had proceeded very far that
the officers of the Guard were, dissatis
fied. When strapping young fellows
with iron constitution and muscles like
blacksmiths were refused because tbey
failed to weigh enough pounds to the
foot, there was a general expression
that the regulations for the Standing
army in time of peace were a little too
stringent for volunteers, many of whom
had left lucrative positions to fight for
their countrv.
Captain Kendall, however, was firm in
adhering to tbe regulations, and finally
Governor Lord, who was at tbe camp
all day, became jmpatient and wired to
the adjutant-general to ask that the reg
ulations be somewhat modified if pos
sible; It was a very unhappy crowd of vol
unteers who filed back to their company
tents after the fatal sentence "rejected"
had blighted their hopes of serving their
country. "
A few of them left camp and went to
their homes, but the great majority
remained about their coin puny head
quarters in the hope that enme -modification
of the rigorous physical require
ments would yet give them en opportu
nity to enlist.
It soon became noised about camp
that a heavy reduption was being made
in the regiment, and -men began to fear
tbe examination as a schoolboy fears an
encounter with bis teacher when kept
after school. The result of each succes
sive examination proved that these fears
were.well grounded, but there was noth
ing for it but to take their medicine like
men, and they proved tbat they were
men by doing so with the best grace
possible under the circumstances. x .
As yet we have not beard tbe result of
the examination of our boys in Co. G.
There is one thing certain, however, and
tbat is that tbe treatment tbey received
since they left Tbe Dalles was exceed
ingly shabby. ,
So far there has not been a single com
mission granted to anyone in this com
pany, and the other companies of the
3rd Battalion met with about the same .
treatment. '''' '
Much co.nment is made also concern
ing the Hag presented to the boys by the
Elks.. Tlii flig belonged to Co. G, and
not to the United Slates government,
and if this company is broken op and
new officers put. over our boys after the
rightful officers have been rejected or
given positions as privates or non-commissioned
officers, the flag should be
taken back. When the flag was pre
sented it was given to Co. G as a sou
venir or remembrance of the Dalles Elks
and friends at home, and to allow such ft
token to be given to a company cop slat
ing principally of strangers and com
manded by men that are also strangers,
is certainly wrong.
BAD SHOOTING AFFAIR
John O'Leary Gets Into a Qnairel With
Fred Walker, and Beceives a Se
vere Wound.
Aserious shooting affair occurred at
Grass Vallev Sunday afternoon. Word
was sent in that John C. O'Leary had
been shot, but the seriousness of the in
jury was not stated, and the evening pa
per was misinformed as to Charles Paine
having committed the crime.
The shooting wa.s done by a young
man named Fred Walker, who is about
21 years old, but the cause of the shoot
ing has not been learned more than that"
it was over some business transaction.
Walker used a Winchester rifle and
the ball struck. O'Leary in the leg, shat
tering tbe bone badly. As he is a man
advanced in years and will in all proba
bility have to have tbe leg amputated,
somewhere below the knee joint, it
will go hard with him. He will be
taken to St. Vincent's hospital today for
treatment.
After the shooting Walker mounted
bis horse and rode away, and, althongh
a possee has been searching the country
for him, he has not yet been found.
Walker is about 21 years of age, five
feet ten inches tall and weighs one hun
dred and fifty pounds. When last seen
he way riding a dapple grey horse, and,
probably under tbe impression tbat he
has killed O'Leary, he may make a des
perate fight before he will surrender. -
Mrs. O'Leary, who lives in this city,
left for her husbands bedside Sunday
evening and will accompany - him
to Portland today.
THE FOREST RESERVE.
Another Letter From Supvrlntendant
Ormtbj on This Important Subject.
Yesterday Fred W. Wilson, secretary
of the Oregon Wool Growers' Associa
tion, received a letter which we publish
in full and trust that it will be of in
terest to Eastern Oregon sheep raisers. .
The tract and the boundaries of which
art- given on the last lines of Mr. Orms-
byg letter refer to the closed area and
means tbe land where no sheep can be
pastured around Mt. Hood and has been
determined by the department of the
interior. We are at a loss to determine
the exact date when sheepmen can cross
the line going in,.as opinions differ to
much from Jane 15th to July 1st. It is
understood, however, that on account of
the dry weather they should be permit
ted to go in earlier than they otherwise
would. The following is Mr. Ormsby's
letter:
' Salem, Or., May 6, 1898.
Fred W. WiUon, Sec'y Eastern Oregon
Wool Growers' Association,
The Dalies, Oregon.
Deab Sib : A recent order from the
general land .office directs that all per
sons desiring to pasture sheep on the
Cascade range forest reserve will make
application to me stating, 1st, owner's -name
and postoffice address, 2nd, num
ber of sheep, 3l, number of bands, and
4th, location of range. It is desired tbat
the applicant state also whether the lo
cation selected has been previously oc
cupied by him or is a new location. A
strict observance of the rules and rego-
lations governing forest reserves will be
required. No grazing will ' be allowed
north of the Barlow road and west of the
summit of the divide or east of tbe east

THE NEW STEAM LAUNDRY.
Was Started Sonday New Machine
ry Will lie Urd and Good Work
Will Be Dune.
In a few days a new industry will be
started in bar city in the way of a first
cl3ss steam laundry. The best machin
ery tbat could be purchased will be nsed
and first-class work can be guaranteed.
This is an enterprise thathoa!d be pa- -
tronized by everyone in the city, as the
people employed in this work will
'be Dalles laborers and" tbe money-
paid out for it will be kept at. home.
' Our people are anxious for home in- '.
dustries and if tbey do not patronize '
them when tbey get them, they cannot
expect such enterprises to spring op in
the city. The pay-roll for this institution
will be increased or diminished accord
ing to tbe patronage secured, and we .
hope and trust that they will receive a
liberal support, as this fact will aid
much in inducing other enterprizes to
locate at this poict, and thereby famish,
employment to oar townspeople.
