Saturday's Dally.
A consignment of 500 packs of this
year's wheat crop, were shipped on the
Doat this morning to Portland.
Seven carloads of prime beef cattle
were shipped to the Union Meat Co,
this morning bv their buyer. Bee
Grimee. The cattle were purchaeed
from French and Gilmore, of Gillam
county.
This mornine: Miss Irene Adams met
with a painful accident by being thrown
from her wheel. She was riding down
. from the hill at a rapid rate when her
wheel struck a sandy spot in the street
throwing her violently to the ground
Her face struck on a rock and an ugly
gash was inflicted in her lower lip and
chin. No bones were broken and she
will be around again in a few days.
The destruction of Bemis & Son's
ebingle mill, at Castle Bock, Wash., was
a serious loss. The building and
machinery, as well as 300.000 shingles,
were destroyed. The watchman of the
building is unable to tell how the fire
originated. Twenty-five men were
. thrown out of employment. It is not
known yet whether the mill will be re
built. In some way the report'eot circulated
last night that Walter Dickey, one of
the volunteers of Co. L from this city
bad died at Manila of Malarial fever.
And his numerous friends and school
mates were much concerned about the
rumor. The flag on the high school was
placed at half mast and many feelings ot
sorrow expressed that our young towns
man Ehould fall victim to the dreaded
disease. Liter it was learned that the
report was untrue and accordingly the
latest word received he was on a fair
way towards recovery.
Up to the hour og going to press tqday
nothing definite was learned concerning
the launching of the Begulator. A ru
mor got afloat that an' unsuccessful at
tempt was made this morning, but the
ways broke down and left the boat on
the rocks in as bad a shape as she was
before they started to work on it, a few
weeks ago. This report lacks confirma
tion, howeter, and It is thought there
is no truth in it.
The insane -man who was captured
near this city Thursday night, was in a
calmer mood this morning than he has
been since he was lodged in jail, and he
was able to tell more concerning him
self. He said that his name was Frank
Hesey and that he was from Texas. He
stated that he did not know his age,
more than that he was over 20, bat is
apparently about 25 years of age. He
is light complected, smooth faced, and
weighs about 125 pounds. ' He was ex
amined by a physician this morning and
adjudged insane. Sheriff Kelly took
him to the assylum at Salem today.
A meeting of the water commissioners
was beld last night, and the subject of
improving the present water system was
discussed. Mr. Olney, the maker of in
surance rates was present, as weli as all
the members of the commission. It was
decided that another 12x16 incn main
would be laid from the reservoir to
Front streets. From this mains
would run down Front, ' Second
and Third streets, being so connected as
to form a circuit and in this way greatly
increase the power. Another meeting
will be held next Wednesday to more
fuHy consider the matter and niak ar
rangements to begin the improvements.
- .A lively scuffle occurcd last evening
between the night watchman and an in
dividual wearing a wooden leg and a
"skate." He went into the Baldwin
reeturant and raised a disturbance and
was thrown out. Nightwatchman Phir
man proceeded to arrest the drunk who
resisted in a rather peculiar way. He
eat down on the sidewalk and raised the
wooken leg which was a very formidable
weapon and whenever anyone came near
be wonld strike viciously. . Mr. Phirman
attacked tiim in the rear when he was
not looking and beld him until some by
standers lent a hand in putting him in a
meat cart and lodging him in jail. - This
morning be was brought before the re
corder and fined $2.50,
Monday's Dally.
The Dalles Commission Co. will ehip
another carload of prunes to St. Paul to
night. "'
Today Mr. Jensen, of Klickitat county
delivered about twenty head or fine beef
cattle at the etockyards for Chrisman
Bros.
A large rattlesnake worked its way
nnder the bed of Almoh Baker, a Klicki
tat countr farmer. Mr. Baker did not
discover the snAe until he was dressing
the next morning. He lost no time in
dispatching the rattler.
H. S. Turner, of the Dafar Dispatch,
arrived yesterday from Spokane, wheae
he has been attending the Press
Association. He. like all the other
guests who were present at the associ
ation, speaks in flattering terms C n
cei n'ne the reception accorded them by
the hoepitable people of that city.
Senator McKeavy, of Mason county,
chairman of the state eenate committee
in fisheries, is investigating conditions
at Bellingham bay. It is said that his
report to the legislature will recommend
further protection to the fishing industry
by the establishment of additional hatch
eries and the enactment of a law prohib
itinz the dumninii of refuse into the
Sound.
We are rerjuested to announce that
the public schools will open in The
Dalles on Monday Sept. 12th. All
children who have the intention of at
tending school this year should com
mence on the opening day as it is not a
good idea to enter after the classes have
began the years work besides it makes it
difficult and disagreeable for both pro
fessors and scholars.
The bowlers at The Dalles Commercial
Club have proposed a scheme which is
meeting with much favor among the as
sociation bowlers, and will probably be
carried out. It is proposed that the
clubs, by subscription,- procure a silver
trophy, to be bowled for once a year,
probably on Thanksgiving day, to be
known as the Thanksgiving Day trophy,
The team winning it is to retain posses'
sion for one year, and three winnings, or
two winnings in succession, to give per
manent possession. This will make t
very popular contest. The Arlington
Club, of Portland, now has a similar
contest, which is an individual event,
the prize being a fine gold medal, which
is bowled for on Thanksgiving day and
Washington's birthday, annually.
Joseph Corvinus.s woodchopper, com
mitted suicide at Woodland Friday by
shooting himself in the mouth. On a
page of a notebook found in his cabin
were these words: "Grievously, wrong
fully accused of a crime, an innocent
man." Several years ago a man named
Huckley was murdered. Corvinns was
suspected, but there was no evidence
against him. Corvinus never recovered
from the blight of suspicion.
The cool weather today is certainly de
lightful, and will have the effect of driv
ing home the campers as well as those
who are at the numerous summer re
sorts. This morning it threatened rain
which caused no small amount of uneas
iness to be felt for the grain which is
stacked in the field awaiting to be
threshed, or that which is sacked and
lying in piles without any great amount
of covering to protect it in case of a
heavy rain fall.
Bowling at the club alleys last week
was equally light as it has been during
the summer months. Scarcely anyone
bowled and no high scores were made.
At the Umatilla House the bowlers were
as enthusiastic as usual and scores were
made as follows : On Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thureday Maetz made
64, 67, 64 and 65, Friday N. J. Sinnott
made 73, on Saturday McFadden made
64 while on Sunday Harry Esping
wound up the weeks scores with another
64.
Industrial Agent B. C. Jndson com
menced this week to put up an exhibit
of Oregon Products at the Portland Ex
position which opens September 22d.' It
is predicted that the display will be the
most artistic ever seen in this state and
will surpass Oregon's exhibit at the
Worlds fair. Two young Walla Walla
ladies engaged to do the decorating are
natural artists and students of botany.
Included in the exhibit will be many
variatiea of grasses and grain harvested
at the Walla Walla experimental farm
this season as well as many other Ore
gon products from the different sections
ot the state.
What was probably the last excursion
of the season from The Dalles to points
down the river was taken advantage of
by- an unusually large crowd of our
townspeople yesterday. Fully one hun
dred Dalles! tea went down on the early
morning train and the Spokane local to
Hood River, Cascades, Bonneville and
Multnomah. As nearly all of the camp
ers will return this week, there will not
be as many people take advantage of the
cheap rates in the future, since many of
them go to spend the day with friends
at some of the numerous camps along
the line. Both the 5 :20 and n:ght trains
were so crowded with returning excur
sionists that it was difficult to find seat
ing room.
The report which was current Satur
day about an accident in the launching
of the Begulator , and that the boat was
again on the rocks, was without foun
dation. The ways did not break and
the only trouble was that the hydraulic
capstan with which they were drawing
the boat into the water did not work
rapidly enought to take np the slack in
cable when the boat started to take the
plunge, and after sliding about half its
length it lodged on the ways. As soon
as thecable is properly arranged the Beg
ulator will"' be pulled into the water,
which will probably take place this af
ternoon or tomorrow. . The bull has
been patched up, and as they have an
abundance of barrels In the hold, it is
impossible for the boat to sink, even if
it does contain numerous leaks, which is
considered doubtful.
- Tuesday's Daily.'
Today Maya and Crowe received a
carload of the celebrated " Bushford
wagons also a carload of buggies, spring
wagons and hacks, from Bacine, Wis
consin. They are having them hauled
from the depot to their temporary ware
house next to Hansen and Thompsons
planning mill on Third street.
The vault of Mays and Crowe which
passed through the recent fire has been
removed to an adjjining lot in order to
have it out of the road of the workmen
who are excavating for the foundation of
the new building.
The Columbia' Southern received
new combination coach this week, to
take the place of the wrecked one. The
latter, we understand, will be burned on
the ground. Everything is a total loss
except the wiodow lights, all of which
remained in tact, and the trucks.
A La Grande railroad brakeman lost
(30 in a crap game the other night. His
wife learned of his doings, and forth
with inaugurated a single handed cm
sade to compel the city officers to enforce
the ordinance against gambling by clos
inz every game in town. The crusade
is still on and the games are still open
After this date the O. B. & N. train
No. 17, leaving The Dalles at 3:20 p, m.,
on Sundays, and train iSo. IS, arriving
at The Dalles at 1 :30 p. m., from Port
land ou Sundays, will be discontinued.
This discontinue the Dalles-Portland
accommodation on Sundays . only, the
week day trains running as hereto foie
Jnet as Will Taylor finished threshing
for W. N. Wiley, at Cold Camp, TueS'
day, the cap blew off the smoke stack of
his engine and the sparks set fire to the
straw stacks. It was only by hard work
that the entire crop of bay was saved,
and Mr. Wiley considers himself fortu
nate in onlv having lost twenty tons of
straw.
We are informed that parties are now
engaged in the experiment of running
logs down the Deschutes . river to the
Harris place. It is hoped that the ex
periment will prove successful, as it is
the intention to build a large saw mill
at the Harris place if they can success
fully land logs there, and the benefits of
a mill at that point are apparent to all
in that Bection,
A Eugene paper says that the engine
which exploded on a farm near that
city the other day was blown bodily into
the air and over the separator, that it
landed at a point 150 feet from where it
started, and then rebounded a distance
of ninety feet, making the entire dis
tance of ics flight 240 feet. They have
some enterprising newspaper men" in
Eugene.
In speaking of the wool sales today an
authority on the subject informed us
that between one third and over one
half of the wool clip which is stored in
the warehouses in The Dalles has al
ready passed out of the hands of the
producers. What has been sold has
brought a good price and it is doubtful
if that which is being held for higher
prices will bring more than that which
has already passed into the hands of the
buyers.
Sheriff Kelly has had the. county jail
pot in better shape than it baa been
since it was built. When he assumed
the duties of sheriff the walls of the jail
were in a bad shape and covered with
writing, so that it was a rather un-
cheerful looking place. He has had the
different cells kalsomined and thorough
ly whitewashed and other necessary re
pairs made that gives an air of cleanli
ness throughout and makes it more
pleasant and healthful for the inmates
than it was heretofore.
Quite an amount of talk has been
caused in bowling circles by Mr. Zan
making an average score of 52 in eight
games during the tournament at As
toria. This is not eo remarkable when
we consider that H. Maetz, of this city,
made in ten games one day last "week a
score of over 55 and the following day
made a trifle over 56 points. Mr.. Maetz,
we consider, is not only entitled to be
considered the champion ot the north
west, but of the world either for single
scores on his averages in any number of
games.
The Baker City iron work and foundry,
recently destroyed by fire, is being re
built and will be hurried t6 completion
as rapidly as possible in order to meet
the large demands constantly made on
it. Mr. Geo. McLynn has purchased
the interest of his partner, Mr. French,
and hereafter conduct the business
alone. The enterprise is a great con
venience to mine owners and others in
that section, enabling them to get neces
sary repairs made to machinery witbont
the great expense of sending to Portland
or San Francisco.
Last Monday, says the Arlington Re
view, word was received Dy Mrs. iiutcn
er that her little grandson was burned
in the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Bates, who lives about eight
miles from Blalock. . She left immedi
ately, to render what assistance she
could in consoling the parents in their
sore affliction. The origin of the fire is
unknown as there had been no fire in
the bouse since morning. Mrs. Bates
had gono to the garden, leaving the boy,
who was only fifteen mpntbs old, asleep
in the house.' Mr. Bates and Mr. Fahr- j
enbecker were in the barnaard unhitch
ing their teams, but arrived at the house
too late to do anything. .'

Bemedy in my family for years and al

children we find it especially effective."

AN EPISODE IN THE PHILIPPINES
Sergeant J. SI. Bartell Relates a Visit to
. the Insurgent's Intrenchments.
A letter from Sergeant J. M. Bartell
was received by one his friends in this
city Thureday, and with the permission
of the said friend we publish a few nar
ratives from the same. They are as fol

Cavitb, July 27, 1898.
The third expidition came in Monday,
July 25th, but every thing is quiet. The
California boys moved across the bay a
a few days ago and they felt quite
elated to think that they ehould precede
the Oregonians, but if they knew that
we were going to be landed from the
war ships and that we are reserved with
the regulars, they would not feel so good.
Five of us non commissioned officers
crossed the bav last Sunday to seethe
the native soldiers, and we prowled
around until our curiosity was aroused
to see a battle between the Spaniards
and insurgents. There was a little fir-
ug going on when we got started, and
when we got witbiiva few hundred yards
of the intrench nun ts they commenced
firing and the bullets flew all around us.
We stood a few minutes and reconnoi
tered, but having come eo far we con
cluded we would see it through, so we
ran ahead and got behind the insur
gent's intrenchments for about twenty
minutes, during which time the fire was
so heavy that the twigs of the trees were
falling all around us.
After the fire had subsided a little, we
moved around to the flank, where the
natives were with a cannon. After
helping them fire thg cannon a few
times we concluded we would go back,
but retreat was not as easy as advance,
for we were exposed to the fire of the
enemy for at least a mile, and as there
was no telling when they would stop and
as we bad to be back for retreat roll, we
broke out into a brisk - trot. It was
amusing to see the boys dodge when a
bullet came near them, and as I was in
the rear, I commenced making fun of
them and they kept denying that they
dodged, so they said that tbey would
prove it by taking turns in the rear. I
would not do that- so they all stopped
running and we walked the rest of the
way. -
It does not look as if we . will have
much trouble witn the Spaniards. Up
on the arrival of the Monterey they will
probably surrender.
When we get into Manna we are go
ing to have swell uniforms white shoes,
white suits and white belmets.
All the Dalles boys are well, except
Walter Dickey, who has been sick ever
since we came on shore. He now looks
quite bad'y, but I hope he will pull
through.
EASTERN OREGON WHEAT.
The Yield Placed at 18,000,000 Bushels
This Season..
The wheat yield of Eastern Oregon is
given as 18,000,000 bushels by A. M.
Jennings, editor of the Pendleton Trib
une. He said:
It is conservatively estimated that
the twelve counties of Oregon east of the
Cascades, commonly known as Eastern
Oregon, will this year raise 18.000,000
bushels of wheat, or within 2.000,000
bushels oi the yield of the entire state in
1897. This is 5,150,000 bushels more
than last year's output in Eastern Ore
gon, but reports from threshing already
done justify the assertion. . Imagine
outputs of fifty to sixty and even sixty
two bushels to the acre of wheat, and
yields of forty to forty-five ' so common
as to be considered only fair.
The first report of the season, which
came in about a month ago, was an av
erage, if I remember correctly, of forty-
two bushels to the acre. This was con
sidered an exaggeration, as in past sea
sons the average of the best grain has
been from thirty to thirty-five bushels,
but succeeding announcements that
even forty-two was far under the best
brought the conclusion that 1898 was
going to lead all history of that remark
able district.
"The best yield threshed thus far be
longs, I believe, to a man named Nelson
near Weston, who is credited with get
ting sixty-two and a half bushels to the
acre from a quarter section. Other
yields of from forty-five to fifty-five
bushels to the acre in fields of from one
hundred and sixty to one thousand acres
are common. - . -
"There has not been much wheat sold
n our district; but what has been dis
posed of has been sold has brought from
fifty to fifty-three cents. This is about
ten cents below the qotations of last
year. -
"The acreage of Eastern Oregon wheat
this vear exceeds bv probably a tenth
that of 1897, in Umatilla county there
being 200,000 acree, against 180,000 last
year.
"The actual output in dollars of the
grain fields and stock and sheep ranges
in 1897 amounted to $332 for every man
woman and child. .
Obituary.
' Mrs, William Parent died at the resi
dence of her brother near Kingsley, on
Tuesday, AuguBt 23d. Mrs. Parent was
born in Canada twenty-nine, years ago.
her maiden name being Agnes Mahew.
""' About four years ago she was married
and shortly afterwards her health began
to fail. Last spring, . n company With
her husband and family, she came Ore
gon in the hope that the change of
climate would benefit her. Her case
was hopeless, however, since consump
tion, for that was the malady from
which she suffered, had too firm a hold
to be cured, and although all that med
ical science could suggest was done, she
failed rapidly, until last. Tuesday when
sue paeeeu peacetuny away at the resi
dence other brother, Earnest Mahew,
at Kingsley.
Mrs. Parent was a splendid example
of a true American woman; a sincere
christian, and a good wife and mother.
She had a host of friends wherever she
was known, whose heartfelt sympathy
will be extended to the bereaved hu
band and his children.
Besides a husband and two small
children, she leaves a father and mother
and several brothers and sisters. The
interment took place at the Catholic
cemetery near Kingsley, Wednesday.
THE LAST SUNDAY IN CAMP.
Pleasant Sunday Spent at the Locks and
How We Spent ItSociety Per
sonals and Items.
An unusually large number of Dalles
ites epent last Sunday at the various
points down the river, knowing that in
another week many of the campers will
have returned home, and took advantage
oi this last opportunity to spend a Sun
day in a quiet but nevertheless the most
pleasant manner in which it could be
spent.
The writer was fortunate enough
to have the kind invitation of the pre
siding officer at Camp Sam peon and took
the morning train for that place with a
host of others who were bound for the
above camp, as well as Camp Tomale,
Camp Hobson and Cushing'a camp, and
numerous others in that paradise of the
Cascade range.
We were met at the train by. numer
ous representatives of the various camps,
who accorded to us a welcome which,
on account. of its warmth, was certainly
symbolic of the hospitable people of our
city. We were immediately taken in
charge, and on arriving at camp were
served with hot coffee, cake and other
delicacies to refresh us after our dusty
ride.
The forenoon was spent by the differ
ent ones in numerous ways. Some were
satisfied with laying on the moss in the
shade of the trees talking or reading,
others hunted in hopes of finding some
large graine, others visited the Begulator,
while a few of the more infatuated might
be seen strolling over the shady paths
with "the one," this however, was none
of my affairs, being a married lady and
mother of three children and will re
frain from further discussion of the sub
ject since it recalls remembrances of
yenthful days.
In the afternoon numerous visitors
called at camp, and they with the pleas
ant company already there, made it any
thing but monotinous. .
In the evening, Hatty, "the medium of
the Cascades," called at the camps and
told fortunes, furnishing a fund of
amusement to all present. Singing of
national anthems was next indulged in
About 9 o'clock everyone was startled
by sweet strains of music in the imme
diate vicinity, and the skillful manner
in which it was played betrayed the fact
Prof. Ryan and Messrs. Parkins and Al
den, of the Alpha Mandolin and Guitar
Club, were giving a serenade. They ac
cepted an invitation to join ns and from
that time until the train arrived on
which we returned borne they furnished
us with an abundance of music.
On leaving for the station " everyone
whispered a iarewell to Camp Sampson,
since it was the last Sunday that the
campers would be there and the last
that we could spend in that delightful
spot.
CASCADE LOCKS ITEMS.
Miss Echler, of Portland, visited her
sister, Mrs. Tolmie, and spent Saturday
and Sunday at Camp Tamale.
Harry Morse, of Portland, visited D.
L, Cates Sunday.
Bert Barrett and Ed Jenkins called at
Camp Sampson Monday on their return
home.
Mrs. Barrett, one one Camp Samp
son's chaperones, took her departure on
the afternoon train Monday. Mrs. Bar
was an ideal hostess so she wilt be great
ly missed in camp.
One of the most popular camps at the
Cascade summer resort was Camp Ta
male. On Monday when Mr. and Mrs.
Tolmie made known that they were go
ing home on the boat, the young folks in
can,p declared that they would all - go,
for there would be no fun after the Tol
mies were away. -
The gnosis at Camp SampBon Sunday
were, Me'dame Crandall, Klein, Doane.
and Morgan; Mr. Gayin, Dick Gorman
and Victor Sampson.
Guests at Camp Hobson were Miss
Henderson, of Portland, and Archie Mc
Cully. - "
Guests at Cusbing Camp were Mrs.
Lyle, Misses Mamie, Mattie and Sybil
Cushing, AUie Lyle and John Weigle.
Mrs. Bprgett chaperoned a crowd of
yonng folks to the Locks Sunday.' Tbey
went to the spring back from the camp
ground to eat their lunch and epent a
very enjoyable day, returning on the
afternoon train. Those In the party
were Mrs. Burgelt, Misses Gosser, Min
nie Gosser, Christine Phirman, Jennie
Young, Will Van Bibber, Adolpb Phir
man, Chas. Burgett and Paul Paulson.
Mrs. Tolmie, Delia Michelbach and
Georgia Sampson, of camps Tamale and
Sampson, made a trip to Moffett Springs
on Thursday, returning to the Locks
Friday.
In one of the tents, the inmates after
extinguishing the lichts on retiring to
res t the other night, were surprised to
find the interior of their abode lighted
with a so't pale blue light, and on inves
tigating discovered the cause to be the
decaying root of an Alder tree, which
had become phosphorescent from ex
posure during the day to the rays of the
sun. On the neighboring campers com
ing to examine the discovery the follow
ing night, the aitistic nature of one of
the young ladies immediately asserted
itself in a practical manner by the per
sonal adornment of her hair with small
pieces of the glowing wood, and she
proudly stepped forth from the tent
compelling the admiration of all be
holders. A SERIOUS MATTER.
The Question oi Suspension of Gams
ment Work on the Columbia and
What It Means for East
ern Oregon and
Washington.
The controversy between Astoria and
Portland over the question of preventing
any further government aid. in keeping
the Columbia river open to navigation,
is attracting, widespread attention, and
will demand the consideration of the
people of the state.
A gentleman from Portland today
stated that it seemed very strange that
after the government had 6 pent $3,000,
000 at the Cascades; had expended
f2,500,000 on a jetty for the purpose of
deepening a channel, and cantemplatea
the expenditure of another two or three
millions above The Dalles,' that it should
now waste all this work in refusing any
further aid in keeping the channel open
that has already been made deep enough
oetween Portland and the sea for the
passage of even war vessels.
The interior of Oregon and Washing
ton connot afford to have the Columbia
river closed, which would result in the
further and higher taxation of farmers
simply for the purpose of supporting a
railroad built between ABtoria and Port
land for the handling of tourists.
The Astoria railroad is all well and
good, but Astorlans cannot expect it to
be maintained at the expense of the rest
of the state, nor can any but natural -business
means be employed to secure
handling of grain at the mouth of the
river.''
Ship owners make the same rates on
grain from Astoria as they do from
Portland, and to stop ships from going
to. Portland under the present conditions
wonld simply add another tax upon the
farmers of the interior.
Persons troubled with diarhoea will
be interested in the experience of W. M.
Bush, clerk of the bote) Dorrance, Prov
idence, B.I. He says: "For several
years I have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Bemedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme- '
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete '
relief from the affliction." For sale by

The true story of those 278 days of
Buffering by Greely's heroic little band

been told by General Greely himself, for
the first time, for the October Ladies
Home Journal. For years General
Greely has kept an unbroken silence "
about bis fearful experience and that of
his companions, as tbey dropped dead
one by one at his side, and it was only
after the greatest persuasion that the
famous explorer was induced to write
the story.
