. P. A. Bounds, of North' Yakima, was
. v. - I A r t j
ase which he was riding. As be fell, a
Tope attached to the saddle wound
round bis arm, and the cayuse running
away. Bounds was dragged several
hundred yards and badly bruised. -
P. J. McGrail, of Nansene, was in the
city yesterday. He informs us that the
farmers in his neighborhood are begin
ning to harvest their crops and states
that the assertion that this year's crop
will be folly as large if not larger than
any in the history of the state is no ex
aggeration. . ... ,
An error was made in veaterdav's is
sue concerning the death of Minnie
Bondeaa. Her age was given as seven
Tears when It Bhonld have been fourteen.
This was no fanlt of the paper, however,
as it was almost impossible to get any
information whatever concerning the
subject.
If e T TT L K...:AM
al drill man, began operations in earnest
on the Kelsay place near this city and
in four months at the outside he can say
wbeiher or not there is any coal to be
found in the vicinity of Chenoweth
creek. Mr. Kretser is a man who has
bad much experience in this line of bus
iness and will raeb tbe work as fast as
possible. The discovery of coal beds in
this vicinity would be . the making of
The Dalles, and it is hoped that the ef
forts of Mr. Kretzer and the others in
terested in tbe scheme will be crowned
with succees. .
The. men woo are pushing to success
the Oregon Industrial Exposition are
enterprising and unselfish. They are
working bard to bring together a credit
able collection of tbe products of the
great northwest, and their labor of love
is intended for the1 benefit of all and
will result in great good to a great
number.
Monday night Deputy United States
Marshal Boberts arrived in the city
from tbe Warm Springs with an Indian
who is accused of having attempted to
rob the United States mail between
Wapinitia and tbe agency. Tbe Indian
was taken to Portland where he will
have bis bearing. There seems to be a
clear case against him and he will prob
ably go over the road. .
Yesterday evening that well known
character "U. P." Sam arrived from bis
valley trip - and drew a large crowd on
the corner of Second and Court streets.
The present war furnishes him an
abnndance of material to sing about and
be furnished his audience with a contin
ual round of amusement. Sam is get
ting old but his age does not seem to
effect bis ability to make rhymes. -
Some idea of tbe vast importance of
the wool industry in Yakima county
may be bad when it is remembered that
there is now stored in the warehouse of
Wiston & Bagger, at Proeser, over half a
million pounds of wool from last year's
clip, and all grown and sheared in that
portion of the county. As a wool grow
ing district, Yakima is far in the lead of
any portion of the state, either for
bounds produced or length and quality
ot fiber.. '
Sunday's Oregonian gave an account
of the death of Washington M. Darrow,
chief musician of tbe Tenth cavalry, U.
S. A., who was wounded in the battle
of Santiago July 3d, and died at Atlanta
a few days later. Mr. Darrow was a
fine musician, and in 1893 was leader of
the Marquam orchestra in Portland.
In 1888 be was stationed at Vancouver,
in which year he. married Miss Emma
Brant, who now resides in Portland,
bat . who for some time lived with her
sister, Mrs. Sutton, in this city. ; War
grows to be more of a reality as the
days go by and we bear of the death of
those with whom we are personally ac
quainted, having fallen while fighting
under the stars and stripes. -'".
Last week H. Maetx held the board at
the Umatilla House alleys every day,
although some of the best bowlers- in
the city were striving for honors. His
general average for the week was 62 2-5,
while bis daily scores were as follows :
Monday 59, Tuesday 61, Wednesday 62,
Thursday 66, Friday 65 and Saturday
60. This is an exceptionally good score,
as there are few bowlers who can bold
the records for an entire week without
falling down.
The great council of the Improved
Order of Bed Men was held in Portland
vesterdry in ' Bed Men's hall. Many
delegates from the different lodges in
the state were present,-and much busi
ness of importance was transacted. The
program for the session includes an ex
cursion up tbe Columbia and a banquet
last night. Delegates were present from
Baker City, Sumpter, Bourne, Union,
La Grande, Pendleton, The Dalles, Mc
MInnville, Oregon City and Astoria.
Last night Horseshoe bridge.'located
aboat twenty'niiles west of Huntington,
wastotally destroyed by fire. - The
bridge -is 200. feet long, and it will re
quire two or three days to rebuild the
same. In the meantime passengers
will be transferred across the stream
and traffic will not be suspended. It
baa been hardly three years since a
bridge over tbe same stream was burned.
The cause of the conflagration is un
known. A large bridge gaog has gone
up to repair the damage.
Tbe managers of the D. P. & A. N,
Co., have decided to leave the Begulator
where it is at present located until the
water goes down when it will be
launched. It is not ezpected that tbe
damage to the boat will be great, bow-
ever the loss of the craft at this time of
the year will be considerable. The
Dalles City is being put in shape . as
rapidly as possible and will be on the
route again about the 1st of the month
On account of delay in the. shipment of
the machinery for the Inland Flyer the
new boat will not be ready for service as
soon as was expected.
At a meeting of the members ot tbe
Congregational church of this city held
last evening, it was voted to extend a
call to Bev. E. V. Polling, of Albany,
to become pastor of the church in The
Dalles. The Congregational Bociety
here has been without a pastor for some
months, while the matter of a choice
has ..- been carefully and - prayerfully
weighed. They are to be congratulated
that they have chosen so well, as those
who have heard Mr. Polhng.and know
him personally have no doubt that he
is the man for the place. A strange
coincidence is that three former pastors
of the church here were called from Al
bany Prof. Thos. Condon, W. B.
Butcher and. D. B. Grey. It is to be
hoped . that the one just ' called will
prove as successful and be as much be
loved as the former three. His pastor
ate will probably begin the first Sunday
in September.
Thursday's Dally.
Phil Brogan returned Tuesday evening
from a business trip to Antelope. He
reports harvesting In full blast in that
section. Bye and meadow bay are short
this year, while alfalfa yielded an un-
cnusually large crop. '.
Producers will please remember that
their exhibits wilL be taken to tbe Ore
gon Industrial Exposition free of charge.

tion, Portland, Oregon. :
Dr. A.' Detricb, of Dafur, being in
need pf rest,' will for tbe next three
months torn over bis practice to Dr. H.
C. Dpbbs, of Wisconsin. Dr. Dobbs is a
graduate of tbe Detroit ' Medical College,
and comes highly recommended. Dr.
Detricb. intends returning in the fall
and continuing his practice at Dufur.
We note that Portland is advertising
California melons for tbe last week.
This is nothing worthy of mention,
since tbe people of The Dalles have had
an abundance of watermelons during
the last week which were raised not in
California, but: right bore in Wasco
county. In fact they are so plentiful
and common at present that the largest
in tbe market retail for 25 cents each.
The home office of the Caledonian In
surance Company, at Edinburgh, Scot
land, have requested na to ascertain, if
possible, the whereabouts of one Robert
Edwards, who was born in Staffordshire,
England, in April, 1856, and who has a
brother, Albert Edwards, now living in
London. Mr. Edwards was last heard
of in this country in April, 1S95, since
which time no trace of him can be
found. Should our readers have any
knowledge of such party, any informa
tion which they may be able to convey
to as will be highly appreciated.
Yesterday was tbe hottest day of tbe
season in Tbe Dalles. During the after
noon the thermometer stood at 65 until
about 5 o'clock it rose one degree higher.
From tbe manner that everyone noticed
the beat yesterday it is plain that 96 de
grees is plenty hot and if tbe thermom
eter runs much higher tbe city will be
deserted, as all kinds of threat of leav
ing for tbe seacoaat or mountains could
be heard yesterday. '
Tbe admirers of fine arts should not
fail to see the two oil paintings which
are on exhibition at Blakeley & Hough
ton s drug store, one of which is
view of Mt. Hood, while the other is the
familiar scene of Trout Lake with Mt.
Adams in tbe background. They are
the work of W. W. Armstrong, of Oak
land, California. Mr. Armstrong, who
is well known by many of our towns
people since his last trip to the city, is
second to none as a painter, as his work
shows too plainly. The painting of Mt,
Hood will be raffled this week, while
tbe picture of Trout Lake will be sold
One of the last steps in the settlement
ot the affairs of the estate of Henry L,
Yesler, the father of Seattle, was .taken
in Seattle Monday, when an order was
presented, signed by Judge Moore, and
filed confirming the last of a series of
sales, at which the real property belong
ing to the estate has been disposed of to
pay the debts of the estate and claims of
the dead pioneer's heirs. The sales
were forced sales, tbe creditors having
united in demanding that the estate be
closed up" at once, on the ground that
tbe expenses of the administration were
each year greater than the income, and
would ultimately eat op the -entire
estate. : -

. Patriotic music, home melodies, class
ical productions, everything musical that

Grader 8 on the C. S. By. extension are
now in Moro finishing up the work for
1898, followed by the track layers. The
length of tbe new portion will be seven
teen miles'. Mr. Ly tie states that trains
will be running from Biggs to Moro by
the first of October. -
Yesterday Mrs. Price, of Hood Eiver,
was examined by Judge Mays and Dr.
Sbaw and pronounced insane. She will
be committed to the insane asylum.
Mrs. Price is well known in the city and
is a highly, esteemed lady. - She has
served as teacher in the public schools
and is a lady of culture and refinement.
Her many friends will be grieved to bear
of her misfortune.
Watkins cave, so named last week for
tbe discoverer, Frank Watkins, is situ
ated in Pine Hollow,' thirty-five miles
from Moro. "The discoverer- and Art
Barnaul entered it and fonnd the first
room as old as ice, about feet ceiling,
12x12. They na n0 appliances for de
finite observations, but from what seen
and felt they are quite sure. that an
abundance of ice may be secured there.
Charles Young, while attempting to
climb between two cars at Wallulu
Sunday night, -fell under the wheels,
and his right foot was badly crushed.
He was taken to Walla Walla Monday
evening, and bad to lie at the O. B. &
N. depot several hours before medical
attention could be secured. He was
finally removed to St. Mary's hospital

Yesterday morning the case of the
State of Oregon vs. Thomas Dissender-
fer was tried in Jastice Bayard's court,
Dissenderfer was charged with assault
and battery, tbe action growing out o;
an accident that occurred on Mill creek
last Sundav, in which tbe defendant
drove into tbe carriage of John Filloon,
occupied by him and his wife. Dissen
derfer was dismissed on a demurrer to
tbe complaint. A. A. Jayne appeared
for the state, while N. J. Sinnott was
the attorney for the defense.
Headers are running at fall blast in
the interior, and by next week much of
tbe crop between The Dalles and Dufur
will be in the stack and ready to thresh.
Owners ol threshers are getting them in
shape for a big season's run, and ly
next Monday their busy hum will be
beard at various points in tbe interior,
while in . Sherman county the massive'
combines will ' be uti'ised to cut and
thresh the rich harvest as rapidly as
possible. 'Although the weather is ex
tremely warm, it is fine for harvesting,
and the farmers will take advantage of
it to get their grain nnder cover.
Tbe Salem Statesman says : We learn
from a private source that there is some
danger that the new beet sugar factory
at Union will not be able to handle all
tbe beets raised thereabouts to supply
it. Tbe acreage was based on the pro
duction of Utah lands ; and the Grande
Bonds valley lands are so rich and so
well adapted to the, cultivation of sugar
beets that there may be a surplus, a
tonnage beyond tbe capacity of the fac
tory." . , ; ,
Prof. C. V. Piper, botanist of the Pall
man agricultural college,' after having
carefully estimated tbe coast gives it as
bis opinion that it will necessitate the
expenditure of $10,000 to eradicate the
Russian thistle from tbe wheat fields of
Umatilla county, . If the matter is post
poned two years $ 100,000 would not be
enough to do what the expenditures of
f 10,000 would accomplish next- spring,
iuio ia a serious matter ' to toe owners
of wheat land throughout the entire In
land Empire. :

residing in the pines on the hill, south
of I. J. Norman's property, that was
afflicted with scarlet feyer. Tbe fami
ly was promptly quarantined, The par
ties afflicted are named Eastburn, and
live in a small house where they have
no means of caring for the sick, though
as yet tbe disease has not appeared in a
malignant form. Every precaution will
be taken to isolate them from others,
and there is little danger of the disease
spreading. -

Marie Is Unfaithful to. Her Soldier Boy.
In publishing tbe following touching
poem we would advise the young ladies
of Tbe Dalles to be more cautious in
their choice oi hiding ' places for tbe
numerous epi6tles which they may
in the future receive. However we are
loath to believe that any of our brave
boys have bad occasion to pen such
lines to a Dalles girl, for they are ever
constant (although among the boys was
poet ot no mean ability.) If any
young iady visiting oar city recognizes
the poem, she can obtain the original
manuscript by calling at this office:
I am lying In my tent, sweet Marie,
And my soul with rage Is pent, up In G,
For I know almighty well you have caught an
otnerieii., . . .
And yonr thoughts no longer dwell love with
me. -
When we kissed a last good-bye, tearfully,
' You but worked a girlish guy off on me.
Oh, you sweet, bewitching jade, what a clever
game you putyea, . - -
For your tears were ready made, Sweet Marie.
8weet Marie, list to me; list to me. Sweet Marie,
While I whisper to the winds you're N. Q.
You were loyal, ycu were true, I was all tbe
. worm to you,
When my cash for you I blew, Sweet Marie.
. When I donned the soldier blue, Sweet Marie,
Like a picnic wood tuck you stuck to me;
And tbe smile you used to wear was as full of
gleaming glare
' As a sunbeam on a tear, Sweet Marie.
How you're cunning head you'd lay, lovingly,
On my bosom while you'd say things to me;
There you'd rest in loving pose, right beneath
my nose.
Swiping buttons from my clothes, Sweet Marie.
To the Philippines I go, Sweet Marie,
Where the tropic sun will glow over me;
And Til wander thro' the dells with the brown
Manila belles,
Who are dressed in beads and shells, scantily.
There your face I'll soon forget, Sweet Marie;
I'll be-frisky, you can bet, as a flea;
I'll be giddy, I'll be gay, I'll sing the hours away,
Ta-ra-ra-ra boom de-ay, Hnlly gee.

of six over last year. In membership
the increase is about 500. The receipts

Saylor showed that the membership of
tbe order in the United States is nearly
160,000, and that over $1,500,000 was ex
pended during the last great sun for re
lief.
The degree of Pocohontas waa also re

There is only one council in this reser
vation, but it ia expected to institute
one each in- Astoria, Baker City, The
Dalles and Pendleton during the next
