valuable statistics and daily observa
tions. W. r. Ready, P. H. Crim and Thos.
Burns, mining men from Portland, left
this city today for the region near Prine
ville which is now attracting much at
tention from those interested in mines.
While we teem to know little concern
ing the developments in that section
there is much outside enthusiasm man
ifested, and everyday mining experts
pass through the city on their way to
these new mines.
J. D. Flenner, who was formerly pastor
of the Methodist church in this city, and
who is now editor of the "Capital" at
Boise City, accompanied the remains of
the late Major McConvillefrom Portland
last evening, and remained over in the
city till tke night train. He will again
join the party and attend the funeral at
Lewleton. It has been nine years since
Mr. Flenner visited The Dalles, and the

the city, it was with difficulty be located

At a meeting of the Columbia River
Fishermen's Union in Astoria the price
of salmon for the opening season was
set at 5 cents a pound. A member of
the union said that the setting of the
pries at 5 cents was a mere formality,
as it was generally understood among
fishermen that this price would be paid,
or even more, While the fishing season
does not open until next Saturday, fish
ermen here are of the opinion that this
Is to be an exceptional year, the river at
present seeming to be lull of fish.
The Telegram this morning was teem
ing with all sorts of railroad rumors,
prominent among which was an article
regarding the Columbia river road. The
Lyle-Cioldendale road is also receiving
.,,,,.!. ..ivprtlHlnir: but those who are In
a position to know assert there is as yet
nothing definite concerning the road.
One thing certain, the Columbia South
ern Is making Itself felt, an.I ll plans
for Its extention are carried into effect,
which ther ill most likely be, some
body hereabouts is bound to find it out.

I B. B. Herbert, editor of the National
Printer-JournalUt, of Chicago, is the

. Those whose duty it is to see that the
streets of our city are kept neat and at
tractive and it should be the duty of
everyone need give themselves little
concern io the future, a train of circum
stances having arisen or rather de
scended which will aid much in thede
sired result. We refer to the trains
which have been brought in by our dry
goods merchanls and which every lady
who la up-to-date will supply the
power to keep in motion. These are a
most efficient means of street sweeping
and as one might as well be out of the
world as out of style, no doubt The
Dalles will have them in abundance.
Last evening the body of Major Mc
Conville, who was killed at Manila
during the severe fighting on Feb. 5tb
and brought over on the Scandia, passed
through the city, accompanied by Adju
tant-General Weaver, Colonel Kinport,
of the governor's staff, together with A
J. Sherburne, representing the Grand
Army post at Lewiston. His widow and
son, who was with the major at Manila
also accompanied the remains, which
will be met at Riparia by Governor
Stunenberg and at her state officers who
will attend them to Lewiston, where the
funeral will be held Friday. The brave
major' remains will be buried with all
the honors of major-general.
Messrs. E. Jacobsen and C. F. Bar
tbolema, who with another traveling
man, J. Gurnee, started out with
swell tour-norse rig some weeks since
to make a trip into the interior, arrived
home at noon today. Their trip did not
prove all sunshine, but with it was
mixed a snow storm or two, which add
ed a little spice to the journey. In the
first place, when they reached Fossil
Mr. Gurnee took sick and was compelled
to go back to Portland. List Thursday
Jacobsen and Bartholema started from
Mitchell to Prineville and encountering
six feet of snow, got stuck therein and
but for the help of some miners would
probably have been there yet endeavor
ing to extract their rig from its clutches
A gentleman who was going over the
same road was compelled to abandon
his horse and the coyotes benefited
thereby. These gentlemen have little
to say concerning the wind storm today,
hut are happy to again reach home.
Litest advices from Roseburg stale
the bodies of Fish Commissioner II. I)
McGuire and Senator A. W, Reed have
not been found. It is reported that the
boat which was used by the unfortunate
men had been found tour miles below
where the accident occurred, and that
Mr. McGuire's coat had also been found
twelve miles below at a bridge. Neither
report has been confirmed, but both are
lielieved to be true. The searching
parties continue their work, and are be
ing added to by friends of the unforlu
nute men It is the opinion of many
who know the character of the stream
that neither body will be found for sev
eral days. If they do not become en
(angled among snags in the river, they
will likely rise to the surface after nine
davs. unless they were swept on to the
ocean, which is hardly probable.
Several candidates are already in the held
for the place made vacant by the death
of Fish Commissioner McGuire.
Last night about 11 o'clock the Prine
ville stage had a slight mishap, which
but for the presence of mind of the driver,
John Marlin, might have resulted more
seriously. The road was very dark as
they reached Davis' place on the other
side of Des Chutes, and the light carried
being the one (hat "failed," the horses
were nnahle to keep Ihe road. Going op
a slight grade the horses veered to one
side and the stage was upset, throwing
the passengers, composed of three men,
two ladies and two children, to the
ground. Mr. Marlin immediately grabbed
the reins and prevented a runaway, thus
avoiding a more serious accident. As
It was, the men werelnjnred slightly.one
on the forehead, and the other on the
thigh; while the ladles and children es
caped any harm whatever, although
much frightened. During his many years
of staging this Is the first accident Mr.
Marlin has had, and he Is to be congratu
lated that it turned out as fortunately
as it did. .

A number of our Democratic citizens
were much disappointed today, the late
ness of tne afternoon train preventing
thoir going to Portland to attend the
banquet tonight.
McMinnville has had a siege of re
vivals, John Naegle, the Methodist
evangelist, and Elder Holt, formerly of
the Christian church In this city, having
jint closed series of meetings there.

Word was rcived yesterday, by her
friends iu The Dalles, that Miss Bessie
Rowland la dangerously ill with pneu
monia at her borne io Missoula. We
hope, however, that the next news
rtonved w ill be that she is improving.
Browning A Garrett, mining men of
Spokane, Wash., are io town talking
mines. They are largely interested in
the Syndicate Gold Mining Company
whose claims are located in Idaho. Both
parties are gentlemen and seem to
understand milling.
The passengers from yesterday after
noon's train arrived in the citv about 6
o'clock this morning, the wash-out a
Rawlins having caused the delay. To
day No. 1 has been annulled, and tl
passengers who should Lave reached
here at 2:55 this afternoon will probably
not arrive nntil tomorrow about noon
The difficulty today is caused by wash
out on the Platte river at Laramie, on

Captain John W. Lewis, who recently
delivered an interesting lecture at the
O. N. G. armory, in response to an in
vitation from the school board, yesterday
afternoon gave brief talk to the pupils
of the high school. The lecture was
largely devoted to personal experiences
during the civil war, and life in Lib by
prison. The closest attention was paid
to the speaker, and all who had the
privilege of hearing him considered the
lecture a rare treat. Telegram.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Schanno returned
last night from Salem, where the former
went to attend a meeting of the horti
cultural board. Mr. Schanno reports i
good meeting. It is intended, be says
to move the office of the board from
salem to Portland. While the con
tinued showers during his stay prevented
much investigation of the fruit orchards,
Mr. Schanno thinks from all he gleaned
while there that the injury to the fruit
n the Valley is more serious than in
Eistern Oregon.
The latest scheme to swindle farmers
being worked is the collection of a "war
tax" from the ignorant class of agri
culturists. The swindlers travel singlv,
and when they have selected their
victim they present their authority,
consisting of printed blanks, receipts
and a printed copy of a purported
revenue law requiring farmers to pay
a certain per cent on the value of their
property for war tax purposes, after
which they proceed to collect whatever
amount they are able to get from the
farmer.
There is one sort of rubbish which
even the long sweeping dress trains can
not succeed iu ridding our streets of,
and that is the scraps of paper which are
contiouHlly thrown broadcast through
out them. As we have repeatedly said,
it is these small matters which give
city such an untidy appearance, and
which caused visitor to our town re
cently to say: "Somehow vour streets
and buildings look dingier tban tbey
used to." we cannot anord to cause
such remarks to be made, simply be'
cause we are careless in the little things.
One of the prettiest and most suitable
sites imaginable foi cemetery is that
of the Odd Fellows cemetery, and it is
each day becoming more nearly what
such place should be a veritable bed
of flowers. Up till this year the .water
supply has hardly been sufficient for
the need ; but yesterday the water was
turned into a new two-inch main, with
1 4 inch branch pipes leading through
out tue cemetery. I here is now no
reason why each lot should not be kept
in perfect trim, and the place be made
a garden Instead of a tomb.
Since Supt, J. D. Lee took charge at
the penitentiary he has devised a way
of giving fresh air and exercise to the
three female piieoners. On fine days
the three women accompanied by one
guard, are permitted to spend a few
hours walking outside the stockade,
these rambler, thus far, having been
taken on the board walk between the
prison and asylum. Twice have the
female prisoners enjoyed this privilege,
and as the weather improves, it will be
accoided them oftner. This is as it
should be. The sun shines for the tin-
ust as well as the just. If 'twere not so,
how few of God's creature would en
joy the warmth of Its rays. It seems
terrible to contemplate these female
prisoners having been so long deprived
of outdoor exercise.
With a persistence which is unac
countable, theold Chinaman each year
plants a vegetable garden on the beach
at the foot of Washington street, and al
most as often, just about the time the
vegetable! get to the old fellow can
make something off of them, old Colum
bia creeps up and swallows them down
as if they had been planted to appease
his hunger. No amount of persuasion
will convince him that there is any
other spot on the globe for a gnrdon.
At present he is accosting all his friends
with "Vou tinkee high walla?" and
most of them serm to "tinkee."

a runaway on their way to Condon hist
Sunday, returned yesterday afternoon
none ihe worse for their experience,
which they consider a lucky escape. In
stead of occurring just as they reached
Banneman's the horses started to run
two miles this side of that place, and
scattered lawyers at intervale for some
distance, H. S. Wilson staying with the
hack until he found himself at the
bottom of a ditch six feet deep. E.
S. Weir, the merchant of Arlington, was
very seriously injured, having his collar

otherwise badly brnlfml. Being a large
man, he rnhred In consequence the

Today being Arbor day throughout
the state, appropriate exercises were
held this afternoon in the different
rooms of the public schools. A sufficient
number of trees having already been
planted In the various grounds, it was
unnecessary to observe the day in
the manner prescribed. However, the
children were taught the lessons for
which the day was set apart
A more delightful day tban we have
enjoyed today could not be imagined. It
was simply perfect. The recent rain
storms have much to do with the ba! mi
tt ess of the atmosphere. The rainfall
which was .33 of an inch was mostlv
confined to the Columbia river valley
and did not reach more than eight miles
nto the interior, except a slight sprinkle
at Moro. It, however, extended into the
the Klickitat valley on the Washington
side.
Yesterday Mrs. B. S. Huntington re

other tban that she passed away un
expectedly. They were married about
two years ago In Phoenix, and were
happily situated there. His numerous
friends here will deeply regret the great
sorrow which has come to Mr. Wiljon

Trnn.an Butler received a letter from

The search for the bodies of H. D.
McGuire and A. W. Reed continues, bat
apparently in vaiu. E. F. Walsh, who
is in the land efbVe at Roeeburg, says
that every effort is being made that la
posiible to recover the bodies. A re
ward of $100 has been offered for the
body of A. W. Reed by his brother, bat
it did not apparently increase the tise
of the searching party, which has been
a large one from the first. It is the
opinlou that the bodies will be very
hard to find. The North Utnpqua is aa
clear as crystal, but the water ia almost
too cold for diving. If the bodies have
not been carried below where the south,
fork of the river empties, there U yet
hope of finding them. The south fork
comes from a mining section, and la
very muddy. If the bodies reach the
muddy water they may never be found.
It ia the general opiuton, however, that
they have not gone that far down the
Stream.

The Condon Globe has the following
concerning Dr. Hudson, who is to take
the doctor's office here: "Dr. J. H.
Hudson returned Saturday from Port
land and The Dalles, where he spent
last week on a business trip. His many
friends here will be somewhat surprised
to lesrn that he has formed a partner
ship with Dr. Hollister at The Dallea
and will move to that city and teke
charge of his new practice within a few
weeks. Dr. Hollister is said to have
the most extensive and lucrative prac
tice in Eastern Oregon, and while we
regret to lose Dr. Hudson lioui Condon
we wish bim abundant success in hia

Mr. W. C. Kelman, the atsaver for
the Mayflower Mining Co., came into
The Dalles this morning, called to Port

deal, but just the same the May
flower Mining Co., of Portland, of which
W. P. Keady is president, deserve credit
for help in the time of need, which waa
extended to our fellow townsman,
Jacobsen. The Mayflower people hare
a smelter on tne Othoco which is turn
ing ten tons of $50 ore into one ton of
$500 matter, and can afford to ship the
same to the refineries, with a big profit
margin. In the persons of Keady A Co.
Crook county has a progressive com
