The river is slowly coming up the last lev days and stand at present close to the 23-foot mark Recent sales of sheep at Heppner aggregate 116,500 head. The sheep will be driven to Idaho, Nebraska, Wyoming and North Dakota. Yesterday men were put to work rak ing the rocks and trash off the priori pal streets and hauling the same away, This is a good move, and the. clean streets, with neatly decorated hoases, will add much to the appearance of the city daring the encampment. Yesterday evening N. J. Sinnott, of this place, left' for Wasco where he will deliver an oration at the patriotic cele bration which will be held at that dace today. The exercises promise to be very entertaining and will be attended by people from all parts ot the country Three carloads of bogs were unloaded . and fed at Saltmarsh & Co.'s yards yes terday. They were shipped by Mr. McCnlly, -of LaGrande, to the Union Meat Co. They were in good shape, be ing large and well fattened and will bring 5 cents per pound in the Portland markets at present. William Lake and son arrived Satur day from Kansas, hav ing come all the way overland by team, says the Condon Globe. Mr. Lake has traveled about 3000 miles by team daring the last two years looking for a location, and when' he struck Gilliam county he concluded that this country suited him and that be would locate right here. ' Walter L. Tooze spoke Thursday at Moro to the largest crowd that has gathered during the Wasco silver cornet patriotic music, and was unbounded. Mr. - ranch for the Republican ticket in Sher man county. His arguments in favor of toe single gold standard is masterly, and he does not find any one able to refute it. Word come from Canron Citv that Jack McDonald, a prisoner in the county jail, committed suicide Tuesday night, by taking carbolic acid. McDonald was arrested several months ago for.asBauIt- ing Unlnaman with a deadly weapon He was sentenced Tuesday to two years in t.hR npnitpfltiflrv. find immftrtiatAl v after, on being . taken to his cell, he swallowed a half-ounce of carbolic acid, expiring ten minutes later, So far this season there has 'not been enough fish caught in the Columbia to pay for the expense of ' running the traps. Reports from the lower river state that the outlook is more cheerful - than it was a week ago, bat as yet there is nothing particularly encouraging for the fishermen and cannery operatreo. They hope, however, to do better dur ing June and July, which months are usually the best for fishing in the Co- Iumbla. Word has been received from F. , X Schoomaker, who was obliged to return East some time ago, on account of tfbe sarious illness of one of his. daughters, that he will likely return to Oregon next week. Webster Davis, assistant eecre tary of the interor department, will reach Oregon next week, and speak at Silvertan, Marion county, on Saturday evening, May 21. These will probably be other Eastern speakers provided withm the next few days. The women's edition of the Times Mountaineer will be out about next Tuesday, and will" be placed on sale at - all the drugstores, at the women's head quarters in Mrs. Briggs' old stand, and at the Times-Mountaineer office and at the different bookstores. . The ladies have labored bard with this edi tion, and we-hope the. public patronage will be as readily given in the matter of purchasing papers as it has been in advertments, etc., so that the ladies can . procure more oookb ana mate oi toe li brary what they wish. At 3 nVlnrfc VAafpr-fav attarnnnn b flr - alarm was turned in and in a very short time the entire department turned out. The fire started in the roof of the steam laundry, in the west end, and was dis covered before it had gained much bead way. As there was a hose in the build ing, the workmen immediately turned on a stream, and before the firemen ar rived, bad the flames under con trol. Slight damage was done to the roof and the carts were injured by being drawn over the rough streets so rapidly. As everything is as dry as tinder at present, everyone honld ' endeavor to guard against fire as much as possible. A large1 crowd of young men of North Yakima met Tuesday ' evening at the armory. Forty signed the enlistment rolls and organized another company for service. A petition to Uovernor tfogers asked that the members be at once mustered into the Washington National Guard, as infantry,' cavalry or ar tillery, as desired,' arid requested that if another call for volunteers be made that they be given the preference, Dr. E. E. Hegg was elected captain, F, K. Hiscock first lieutenant, and F. T. Leggett second lieutenant. The mem bers think the company can easily be recruited to the maximum, as North Yakima,, is very enthusiastic. On Saturday, June 4th, the Dufur As sembly of United Artisans will give a grand picnic in the Dufur grove near that city. The people of Dufur have al ways been remarkable for their hospi tality and ability to entertain their guests and we can assure all who attend that this picnic will be a most pleasant affair, as all picnics at that delightful little town are. Since all are invited to attend' there certainly will be a large concourse of people present from The Dalles and the surrounding country. There promises to be a man famime in Umatilla county when harvesting begins next July, says the Pendleton Tribune. It is estemated that at least 400 men tnat usually work in the harvest fields have left the county for Alaska and the war during the last few months. There is little likelihood of their returning be fore the next harvest begins, and there are none to take their places. All told there are 2000 men given work here dur- ingthe harvest season. -Four hundred have left, necessitating 400 others taking their places, leaving the market ot farm hands departed. And there seems no remedy. The Inland Empire and the entire West complain of a. similor condition. Sunday's Dally. A new opera house is beingbuilt at Moro, Sherman county. The North Yamhill women are talk ing of organizing a brass band. During the last 24 hours the river is coming up rapidly and at present it stands at 25 feet. Yesterday D. P.

Boyle, aged 62 years, mother of J. M. Babington, ot Stevenson, Wash died in this city Saturday, May 14th. The funeral will take place at the church of Christ today at 11 o'clock A. M.

A second trial resulted in a verdict of murder in the second dezree and he was sentenced to 19 years im prisonment. There is a strong feeling against Symes in Adams ' counsv. At the time of the second trial there, a mob. largely composed of Adams county men, assembled, intending to lynch Symes, Fears are entertained that if be is taken to Rilzville he will be lynched. Tuesday's Daily. The river is coming up rapidly. . Yes terday it stood at 25.4, having come up 6 of a foot in twenty-four hours. .

Smiley Our best wishes go with the boys, and we hope to see them all return when they have served their country well, The high daily bowling scores at the Umatilla House alleys for the week end ing Sunday, were unusually high, the average being 67.3.

A runaway occurred, yesterday morn ing, but fortunately no serious damage was done.. A freight team started from Pease & Mays' warehouse and ran as far as the Columbia Feed Yard.' In mak ing the turn on Second street they came near running into Mays & Crow's glass front, but fortunately missed it and con tinued their way down the street until they were stopped at the feed yard A number of farmers in the vicinity of Walla Walla who have been holding wheat.made up a pool of 150,000 bushels and forwarded samples of their Brain to Chicago dealers. It costs 33 cents a bushel to transport wheat from Walla Walla to Chicago, and it is very doubt ful if they will receive an offer that will Teachers' Educational Sleeting;. the tournament is. mandatory anf) the, directors have no power to change the iU8tify tilem ia snipping their grain by-laws.

Saturday night they had ing occasional drops of rain fell: iust a ePlendid rn in the country south, of enough to arouse the hopes of everyone, About 10 o'clock it began to rain bard, but it lasted only a short time. It is to be hoped that the shower extended far into the country, and was heavier than in town. Fred Clark returned last evening from camp Mc Kinley, he being among The Dalles boys who failed to pass ex amination. He states the majority of our boys passed the examination. He and F. S. Fonts of this place being the here. At Salt Springs he says that it wet the ground for a depth of two inches, This will certainly do a great deal of good to grain of all kinds, and as the fields were very dry, it came at a good time. People from all over Sherman county were present at the patriotic meeting to celebrate Dewey's victory which was held at Wasco Saturday. The meeting was openeti by an address of welcome by Mayor Crossfield. Rev. Spalding fol- only ones rejected so far. The former lowed a patriotic tali, after which lacked six pounds in weight while Mr. Fonts was rejected on account of heart trouble. xesterday morning sixteen Dalles young ladies, under1 the care of Miss Jeseie ' Fisher and ' Miss Cassie M. Cheese, boarded the Regulator for an excursion to the locks, where they remained until the Dalles City was ready to proceed to The Dallea when they returned home, All enjoyed the outing immensely and are anxious to join in a like trip at any time. Company A, Third battalion, Oregon National Guards, met last night, after several months' inactivity, and effected new organization. Captain V. C. Brock, who was the first captain of the company, was again elected. William Henricks will be first lieutenant, and B. L. Taylor second lieutenant. It is a course ot considerably gratification to the people of Sherman county to see the boys begin to awaken to the realization that the country mayweed their service. Whitman county officers yesterday re ceived a request from the court officers of Adams county for the immediate re turn of A. J. Symes to the jail in that county. Symes is in Colfax awaiting a decision on his appeal to the supreme court. He was convicted of manslaugh ter last December, and sentenced to 18 years in the penitentiary. He was tried for the -murder of Constable Conlee in N. J. Sinnott delivered the oration, and as is always the case, he held his aa dience spell-bound during the entire time that he was on the platform. The Orezonian says the woman's team from The Dalles played in the hardest luck of any of the teams, and but for this would have scored much higher than they did. The greatest individual sufferer was. Mrs. Blakeley, of tbat team, who was compelled to bowl an uphill game throughout. She did fine work at Multnomah, but had to contend against an almost unprecedented run of centers, which cut her score much below what she realy deserved. Sunday evening the victorious Dalles teams returned from the bowling tourn ament in Portland. In the first games they played in Portland they did ad mirably well, but Saturday evening the majority of those in our teams were tired out from bowling so much and did not come rip to their usual records. In speaking of the tournament our teams are enthusiastic in their praise of the members of. the Road Club who ten dered them- every courtesy while they . were at their club rooms. Mrs. A. C.

Gilbert, was a marked success in every respect. The day was an exceptionally fine one, The attendance, including many teach ers from far and near, was even greater than expected. lhe following are the names 'of the teachers who were present: John Gavin, Miss Roberts, Harry W. . Kelly, Mamie A. Driver, The Dalles ; Aaron Frazier, Dufur; W. H. Walker, Lelah Driver, Rojinia Campbell, Mrs. Wheeler, F. A Beaty, Roy Decker, Wamic; " P. P.

Institutes or educational meetings are to the teacher what school is to the child, and in order that a teacher may keep up with the new and improved methods of teaching, or in other words, keep the moss off their backs, or have removed what is already there, he can not attend too many of these meetings, They bring teachers into contact with each other, new ideas and methods are advanced and discussed and the result ia the old methods by which many teachers were taught twenty or thirty years ago are displaced by the newer or better ones. These meetings are not only for the interests of teachers but parents also, and all parents who have children to send to school should not only attend but should take an active part in them Mr. Gilbert has .always fostered these meetings, and parents and fellow teach ers, if you appreciate bis efforts you will nave cnance to prove it in the near future.

"I regret much that the discharge of other duties compel me to deny my- sell the pleasure of accepting the invita tion so cordially given. I have met with your comrades at their annual gath erings on -numerous occasions, and from, their courageous defence of right and liberty, have sought to instil lessons of patriotism into the hearts of the pres ent and coming generations. "At no meeting ince the close of the war, have the eyes of the country rest-' ed upon you so intently as now. The lessons taught by your life, your devo tion to country and flag,' your patience under suffering, your courage in danger, your willingness to yield life, and limb it needed, to defend your couutry and her Sag, and to preserve the blessings of liberty and union for y ourselves and your children, were never so needed and so inspiring as now.

Mr. Kelly has been a life-long Repub lican, and has worked earnestly in the interest of his party, although this is the first time he. has ever run for any elec tive office. For the last four veara Mr. Kelly has been the man who has at tended almost exclusively to the busi ness of the sheriff's office, and he has many times received compliments for his ability as a first-class accoutant, as well as a fully competent and accommo dating man. He is certainly the man for this office, and we feel sore that he will receive the undivided support of the party. - G. A. II. Order of Parade. Birthday Tarty.

The laddies felt somewhat timid 'about playing on a strange alley and with such good bowlers as the ladies of the Road Club. , This morning they are to play the Astoria team, and it. is hoped they ill have as good luck as they bad last night.
