An army of harvest bands' has mobi
lised in Walla Walla, awaiting the open,
lug of the season's work. . It is estimat
ed that there are at least 1000 indie men
there who bave come from points as far
distant as Montana and California, nn
der the impression that harvesters were
scarce and good wages conld be secured.
Reports to this effect, they say, were
published in the papers of Montana,
Oregon and California. There has been
no anticipation of a shortage in the sup
ply of labores Bince June 1st, when they
began to arrive, and there are more men
there now than can possibly obtain em
employment. Everywhere on the out
skirts of the city camps are scattered,
and the cheap lodging houses are filled
to overflowing. A great many bave
means sufficient to support themselves
in a frugal manner, bat there are large
numbers who are penniless and live by
begging and foraging from the different
market gardens in the suburbs. -Otherwise
they are a well-behaved class and
have given the police comparatively lit
tle trouble.

months ago after the long trial in Sagi
naw, Mr. Taylor was found guilty of
obtaining money nnder false pretenses
and appealed to the supreme court with
the above result. This will be quite a
pleasant surprise to Taylor's friends as
they had little hopes that such a de
cision would be given by the supreme
court of Michigan.
The wheat crop of Umatilla county is
ripening very rapidly, and within ten
days harvesting machines will, be seen
in operation in every part. ..Various re
ports are coming in and estimates being
made as to the probable yield of fall and
spring wheat, but even the lowest fig
ures place the crop equal to and above
that of last year, and much better than
in many preceding years, says the Pen
dleton Tribune. .
From arrivals from Antelope we learn
that Mrs. Thos. Condon, daughter of
W. N. Wiley, of this city, and ber little

while attempting to escape. Mr. Con
don lost something like $100 in coin,
which they bad in their room. Outside
of this, no serious accidents are re
ported. ' :
- Yesterday Drs. Belle C. Beinhart, Lo
gan and Sutherland held an autopsy
over the remains of the late Geo. Mor
gan, in accordance with a request made
by Mr. Morgan a short time before biB
death. In the course of examination it
was found death bad resulted from blcod
poisoning caused by the failure of one
kidney and the intestines to perform
their functions. The right kidney was
almost gone while the intestines in the
lower part showed much adhesion and
an accumulation of pus. ' The whole
trouble was caused by an attack of ap
pendicitis several years ago.: .

on the program were 'enthusiastically

already evident that - this will be the
greatest Chautauqua assembly ever held

THE REGULATOR STRIKES
A ROCK AND IS BEACHED
During a Heavy Gale the Trim Little Vessel of The D. P. & A. N. Co. Meets With
a Serioas Accident in Which Her Hnll was Badly Damaged Two Hundred
Passengers and Large Amount of Freight Were Safely Removed.
News reached the city shortly after
noon Tuesday that the steamer Begu
lator bad been sunk a short distance be
low the locks. As it was difficult for a
time to gain particulars, quite an un
easiness was felt for the passengers and
erew but later news stated that no lives
were lost and that the damage was com
paratively light.
It appears that the Begulator was
making the ron across from the Wash
ington to the Oregon' side below the
entrance to the locks. A very strong
wind was Wowing from the Washington
shore at the time,. and this along with
the swift water and large load of freight
and passengers made it hard to handle
her. . When the boat eame close to the
Oregon shore the wind and current
caught her and before anything could be
done the trim little craft was driven
with terrible force against the rocks on
the shore near the end of the old port
age. At first the passengers did not
know that any serious danger threat
ened them and not nntil the lines were
oat and Male Alden called "All ashore !"
did, they realize the true etate of affairs.
In less than twenty minutes from the
time the rocks crashed into the vessel's
side all the passengers were landed and
the deckhands were busily engaged in
getting the freight and livestock ashore,
which they succeeded in doing to a great
extent before the water came over the
lower deek.
' From the time the lines were ran out
nntil the lower deck was submerged the
boat continued to eareen, and for a time
it was feared she would upset. She is, .
however, considered to be in a compar
atively safe position, and can easily be
raised as soon as proper contrivances
can be' secured.
The accident was one that could not
possibly be averted, and the action of
the officers and crew was commenda
ble. They were cool and collected and
did splendid work in getting the two
hundred passengers off without a single -accident.
" '
Over one hundred of the passengers
arrived on the 5:20 train last evening,
the others remaining over until the
night train and today's boat. On ac
count of the enormous traffic over the
D. P. & A. N. line at present, the tem
porary damage to the boat will cause
great inconvenience "to the company.
The Begulator is certainly one of the
strongest and best vessels on the Col
umbia, and as it is a Dalles boat in .
every sense of the word, everyone re
gretted the accident.
THE DALLES STEAM LAUNDRY
An Industry Which Is ProTtugr a Sne
.' ecs Number of Hands Em- -ployed--Work
Done. .."
v A "-few months ago when the Bteam
laundry opened under the present man
agement, many of our people tbonght
that it was a venture that would prove
anything but a success. In this, how
ever, they were mistaken,- since" the
laundry has proven by the amount of
work secured, as well as the splendid
manner in which it is done, that it will
be successful in every regard and con
tinue to gain the patronage not only of
the people of this city, bat also of the
smaller towns in Eastern Oregon and
Washington. " . .
At present ten hands are employed In
the laundry, and at times additional
labor must be put on in order to do the
work. '; ': -.'
' People who bave patronized Portland
laundries for years have changed and
given their work to the -home plant
and say that it is satisfactory in every
regard. It could scarcely be otherwise,
however, as their machinery is as good
as can be found anywhere, and the bead
lady has had years of experience in the
business, understanding it thoroughly.
The people of this city are anxious for
home industries, so that many who are
at present out of work can gain employ
ment and that the monthly pay rolle
will increase. Unless this industry ia
patronised, there will be little induce
ment to start others, and the proper,
stimulus is the undivided patronage of.;
