Yesterday the Regulator took 500 sacks
of wheat to Portland. Nearly every day
more or less wheat is shipped from this
place, as the preaent high prices are in
ducing the producers to sell the wheat
they have beld over.
The report of the injuries sustained by
J. Too my in the Ollie Woodman mine,
who was said to have been fatally Jn
jnred, was much exaggerated. Mr,
Toomy was only stunned by the powder
explosion. The mine is in Baker
county.
The remnants of the old cannon that
exploded at the depot in Baker City last
week, with such fatal results, is on ex
hibition In that town. The cannon was
of cast material and bad been in use for
a long time, but to all appearances was
perfectly safe.
At present the river ' is beginning to
drop slowly and from all indications
there will not be any high water this
year. Mach of the snow has already
melted in the mountains, and no matter
bow hot tbe weather is in June, the
freBhet will be slight.
Tbe bop prospect in Yakima is bright,
The fall acreage is being cultivated this
year, and the outlook for a good crop
never was better. A few contracts tor
special lots have already been made at
ten cents, which is a very cheering sign
so early in the season.
There isn't a more patriotic city in
Washington than is Yakima, says tbe
Yakima Republic. One fall company
bas gone from there to the Philippines
and forty more men and officers bave
formed a second. Here's a city of 4,000
with two companies already formed.
One of tbe finest pop corn and peandt
roasters that bas ever been need in the
city is that of Andrew Keller's, which he
received yesterday. It is set on wheels
like a baby carriage so that it can be
moved easily and on tbe whole it is the
beet in every regard we hare ever seen
in a tew aavs J. u. uross will move
bis place -of business from the present
location to tbe corner store m the Vogt
block. On- account of tbe increase of
business and the additional stock which
. . v
do is rorceu to carry ne Unas it neces
sary to move to more commodious quar
ters. - .
. Last evening A. B. Estebenet arrived
in this city from Skaguay, where he has
been for several months. .Although we
did not get an opportunity to interview
bim, we presume that since the bottom
bas dropped out . of business in that
boom town, be has concluded that The
Dalles is to be preferred to Skaguay.
Strawberry pickers are reported very
scarce in the Hood River country. The
berries are ripening fast and as they are
selling for a good price, pickers are in
CRASH SUITS

IN
demand and receive a good recompense
for their work. Anyone desiring to pick
berries should go to Hood River at once,
and thev will have no trouble in secur
ing emplovment. -
Prof. P. G. Dout, the scientific opti
cian, will be in Dufur on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday of next week. Any
one troubled with weak eyes, defective
vision, or, in fact, anything in this line,'
should consult him, as be comes here
60 1 from tbe East with tbe best of recom
mendation, and will make The Dalles
his headquarters in the future.
Mr. Herman Maetz crowned himself
with fresh laurels yesterday afternoon
at the Umatilla House bowling alleys by
making the remarkable high score of
503 pins in ten consecutive games, or an
average of 50.3, which, be claims, not
only entitles him to tbe championship
of The Dalles, but of tbe Pacific North
west, as well as tbe wager made by Mr,
Donoboe.
Yesterday the case of W. L;. Wheal
don vs. R. G. Brooks was before the cir
cuit court. The case was an action to

the city jail,' pending investigation as to
their connection with tbe killing of
saioon-Keeper m lacoma. .Tbe men
were arrested at tbe fair grounds in
Salem, where they had been banging
around "the Adventiet campmeetiog,
begging. A delegate from Tacoma fur
nished tbe officers with information
that led to their arrest. ',

Yesterday a carload of mutton sbeep
were shipped by Wm. ' Ketchum to the
Pacific Meat Co., at Tacoma.
Yesterday morning nineteen carloads
of cattle en route from Amity, Oregon,
to Cut Bank, Montana, were- unloaded
and fed at tbe stockyards in this city.
The Good Intent Society had a very
pleasant meeting with Mrs. C. E.
Haight yesterday afternoon. Tbe busi
ness of tbe society was - transacted,
after which a social time was enjoyed,
and a most delicious lunch was served.
During the last three days Mr. Maetz
bas made in ten (fames scores of 465, 503
and 492, or an average of 4S to the
game. - Mr. Maetz is one of the steadiest
bowlers in tbe city, and is bard to beat
when it comes to making high records, as
the above shows.
Tbe Campbell & Wilson millinery
parlors wish to call the ladies' attention
to their line of novelty veilings, chiffons
and sailor sashes ; also a large line of
hair goods. Have just received the
latest novelties in millinery and ribbons
from New York, the center of fashion.

owners of wheels and traps on the upper
river have not caught sufficient fish to
pay expenses. They are not discouraged
however, as their richest harvests come
in June and July. Tbe canneries have
not pat up any great amount of fish so
far, and the celestials who assist in the
work have have the easiest kind of a job
with nothing to do but hit their pipes
and wait tor the fish to come in.
At present the employees of tbe ware
houses are kept busy handling the large
amount of wool that is coming in daily.
Much of tbe wheat has already changed
hands, and the market bas virtually
closed. Yesterday there were no sales
made, so that we are unable to give the
quotations for the day.
Yesterday a man named George Ran
ger was examined before Justice Filloou
by Dr. Eshelman and pronounced in
sane. He seems to think that be bas a
large fortune coming to him. ' It is not
known where he lives, but in all proba
bility be is a tramp. Constable Hil' left
with him this morning for tbe assylum
at Salem. .
Dad Butte has just returned from an
extended trip through Southern Oregon
points. While on this trip he has taken
occasion to examine everything in the
way of business done, facilities tor mills
and factories, real estate, etc., and today
is more than ever convinced that Tbe
Dalles is more prosperous than any town
on the coast according to the population
It baa more advantages and is on a firmer
business foundation.- He bas the same
fine bargains, and more than ever. today,
and as be makes real estate dealings a
speciality, you should call on him at the
office of Dufar A Dufar, and learn some'
thing lo your interest, if your desiring
to purchase or locate here. . No trouble
to show you the list or drive yon around
and show you tbe property.
Friday's Dally.
Cast . your vote for Robt. Kelly for
sheriff and yon will never regret it.
The river is slightly on the decline,
being at present about 28 feet above low
water.
In A. M. Kelsay as county clerk tbe
people ot Wasco county have a man they
may well fell proud of. Give bim your
vote on June 6th.
Yesterday quite a large number of In
dians left for Hood River to engage in
straw Derrv picning. nckers are very
scarce In that vicinity and for the time
being there is employment for all who
ppiy.
The eagle will scream in Oregon this
year as it never screamed before. Near
ly every city in tbe state is arranging
for a Fourth of July celebration, and we
hope The. Dalles will make as good a
showing as any.
The Republicans of Wasco county will
show excellent judgment in reelecting
A. M. Kelsay for clerk. ' His past record
is sufficient recommendation.
Yesterday was exceptionally breezy,
especially on tbe river, so that for a
time it was impossible for the ferry to
cross, in a little while, however, the
machinery will be placed in the new
ferry and no farther trouble will be ex
perienced in this regard. It did not
look safe when the 'waves were breaking
over the side of the scow which is need
for transporting the wagons and live
stock across. '
Yesterday one of Johnnie Hampshire's
friends saw that something was wrong
with bis favorite dog, - Billy McKinley,
who bad gone out for a morning stroll.
The friend informed Johnnie of Billy's
condition, and he Immediately repaired
to where hie pet was and found that be
was suffering from some kind of a fit.
The dogs wanls were .administered to
and be baa almost recovered, to hia mas
ter's great satisfaction.
Daring bis term as deputy eberiff
Eobt. Kelly lias proven bis capability
to fill the office of sheriff, and we bope
to see him go in with a rousing majority
on June 6th. ' '
A better friend of education or a more
suitable man for county superintendent
has never filled this position than C. L.
Gilbert. He deserves the heerty sup
port of the people of Wasco county.
A disastrous blaze started in the Com
mercial club room in Moro yesterday
morning and it was throngb eheer good
lack that the entire city was not de
stroyed. Along with the club room the
building in which Attorney Hosford's
office is located, as well as bis residence,
was destroyed, a'so his entire law li
brary. The flames spread so quickly
that scarcely anything could be saved
from' the burning buildings.
Yesterday Douglas Allen and William
Cantrell, ot Dufur, were in the city to
make arrangements with the Dalles
band to play at the picnic which will be
held at, Dufur on Saturday, June 4th.
The people of Dufur are saving no ex-
pense or trouble to make tbe picnic
grand success and deBire to bave every
one present who can possibly attend,
There is no reason why a large number
of our towns people should not be pres
en t, .for there is not a better place to
bave an anjoyable time than at Dufar,
Yesterday afternoon the Emergency
Corps began with a membership of fifty
persons. The meeting beld at tbe ar
mory last night was well attended and
much enthusiasm was shown in the pro
jected work. All ladies who bave taken
work from tfae armory will please re
turn the finished articles to the office
formerly occupied by the Dalles Nation
al Bank before six o'clock p. m. today,
Tbe - prompt action on tbe part of tbe
Dalles ladies is certainly, praiseworthy
and a sufficient proof of what patriotic
American women will do in a time of
need.
Although tbe attention of our people
is greatly taken up with tbe present war
they should not neglect to have a fitting
celebration of July 4th. These are times
when Americans should show their pa
triotism, and there is no more fitting
way to do so than by a proper celebra
tion of our nation's birtbdav. Much
smaller towns than this bave a very
creditable observance of the day and
why cannot Tbe Dalles bave the Bame
It is not because our people (jo not want
a celebration, bat because no one cares
to act as leader in this move. We sug
gest that the matter be taken in band
and properly attended to by' tbe Com
mercial Club.
We' are informed by a correspondent
that the new grade from Wamic to Tygb
Valley is about finished and heavy
teams are beginning to travel over it.
Tbe action of the Wamic people in build
ing this very much needed grade is
commendable, lhey.bave set an ex
ample which every settlement should
follow. When a road is needed, let the
settlement benefitted by it go to work
as these Wamic people have done and
build it. - This new grade is nearly one
and a half mile long, from ten to fifteen
feet wide and would cost about $1000.
Tbe combined energy and labor of these
determined and progressive farmers bas
opened op this public, highway without
the use of any red tape whatsoever.
Industry and self-reliance is the surest
guarantee to success."

OREGON EMERGENCY CORPS.
An organization Will Be Perfected In
The Dalle Thli Afternoon.
The following letter, which need no
explanation, was received bv Mrs. T. S.
Lang from Mrs. F..C. Louneuury, secre
tary of the Oregon. Emergency Corps :
Mrs. Young has just handed me your
letter to answer. We are now at the
Armory busily working like bees. On
account of so much to do and lack of
time our by-laws are very imperfect. A
committee will meet tomorrow to recon
struct them. However, as you are all
ready to organize, I am glad to give you
what information is necessary.
In the first place, it has been decided
that all membership fees and dues must
com'e to these headquarters to make you
an auxiliary corps to the Oregon Emer
gency Corps. What is meant by mem
bership dues la. the regular admission
fee of 10 cents per member. All mem
bers must wear badges, and they cost
20 cents, thus making the total cost of
membership, 30 cents. Organize with as
many members as possible, elect officers,
president, vice-president, secretary and
treasurer. Send all names here with
the 30 cents for each name. All funds
raised outside the membership and
badge fee can be retained by your own
organization.
We are deeply grateful for the interest
you are manifesting in the good work.
There is no need of any one being idle
who bas the welfare of our soldier boys
at heart. A letter from Ran Francisco
yesterday appeals to the Oregon Emer
gency Corps for help. They have ad
vices from Manila that it is necessary
for each man, upon reaching there, to be
supplied with a flannel bandage and
nightcap of eider-down, the latter to
keep the wind, sand and insects from
tbe ears. Thousands of volunteers un
provided with these necessary articles
are pouring into Frisco. The ladies I
there find, on account of the vast nam
ber, they cannot supply all; therefore
their appeal to this corps. The ladies
responded at once, and sent the follow
ing telegram : .
Red Cross Society,
ban Jfranctsco, Cat.,
Greeting : Count on ns : will send
1,000 bandages and 1,000 caps.
WKEGON EMERGENCY UORPS,
Tbe Armory.
They are in need of large numbers of
the above named articles. If von ladies
will go to work and make, say 50. 100 or
as many as you will, we will take pleas
ure in forwarding them with ours. Tbe
object of having these bandages is to
maintain an even temperature, which in
that climate, is necessary and prevents
dysentary and bowel complaints, which
almost universally prevail unless pre
vented by these bandages.
I have been asked by those in differ
ent portions of the state if the Oregon
Emergency Corps discriminated in favor
of any particular company of volunteers.
Most emphatically I answer, "No." We
are organized to assist tbe volunteers, no
matter whether tbey be on land or sea
or what portion of the state. All bave
fared the same al the hands of the Ore
gon Emergency Corps. We feel we have
been doing a God-given work, and do it
to the best of oar ability in every partic
ular. As soon aa our by-laws are completed
will send yoa a copy, which yoa will
have your executive committee, con
sisting of the first four officers and
others yoa may designate tq constitute
your executive board, sign them. As
soon as received here we will, in torn,
have them filed with the state military
board, thus constituting your organiza
tion an auxiliary of v the Oregon Emer
gency Corps. . .
I fully intended being at Tbe Dalles
during the convention, but as my son
was going to the front jast at that time,
I could not leave; besides the women of
the Oregon Emergency Corps bave hard
ly taken time to eat or sleep daring the
past three weeks.
Hoping to meet you in the near fa-
ture, I am
Respectfully Yours,

A NARROW ESCAPE,
Two Pleasure-Seekers Alnross
Their Lives in the Rapids '
' Above Town.
Xoaai
It whi rnlr y eheer good luck that
tbe nauies. of two more victims were not
added to tbe list of those who have lost
their lives in the treacherous Columbia.
Yesterday morning the 15-year-old
son of Mr. Kohler, tbe section foreman
at the second section above this city,
and Mr. Roach, the nightwatchman on
the section, went out boat riding above
the Tenino rapids. At that point "the
river is very smooth and a person not
accustomed lb the current would not
suspect any danger until thev' were al
most in the rapids. The bov was rowing
and was coining too close to be Safe,
when Fred Whilan, one of Seufert Bros.'
employees, noticed the danger into
which they were running and imme
diately called to them to tnrn back and
to make for the Washington side, where
the water was less rapid.
At this Roach took the oars and did
as directed, but it was almost too late,
and the boat kept sroiiiz down faster
than he conld pull it ahead.
Fortunately lor the two, a rock was
projecting out of the water directly be
low where they were and when tbe boat
etruik it they succeeded in jumping on
it, where they remained for several
hours until Mr. Jones Campbell and
another good oarsman pulled down to
the rock and rescued them from their
perilous position. Had they not ran the
boat against tbe rock it would bave
certainly went over tbe falls, and to
have done bo would bave meant almost
instant death to both.
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE
J. T,
Nugent Who Is Wanted In Van
couver has been Captured.
Tuesday . evening the officers in this
city received orders to arrest a man
named J. D. Nugent, who was wanted in
Clarke county, Washington, for the
crime of incest. The man's description
was sent, and although they made a dil
igent search they could not locate him
during the night. -
Yesterday morning Marshal Lauer
found his man as he waa about to board
tbe boat. At first be denied that be was
tbe man, bat as there was party a from
Vancouver present who was acquainted
with him and identified him as the right
person, there could be no doubt as 10
him being the person tbey were looking
for.
' He was placed in jail to await tbe
coming or the sheriff of Clarke county
who will take him below. -
' It is to be hoped that a man who is
guilty of such a crime will be pum&hed
to tbe full extent of tbe law, and in this
way be put in company with that class
ot people to which he belongs, that is
with like criminals in the state's prison.
