The committee appointeJ to interview
the citizens regarding the purchase of a
chemical engine and putting in a fire
alarm ivetem, report very favorably,
il'00 of the reduction in insurance
which will be thus gained, being already
oromifed. If alt accede to this request .
this is about two-thirds of what will be
obtained.
We learn from Dr. Logan that our
wspiciens regarding the death of Chas.
Ross in Portland Sunday are confirmed
by railroad nun in this city who have
received word to that effect. Ross was
rioorer by the work train near Senfert'a
recently, and taken to the hospital for
treatment. At last reports he was doing
well, but "tetalus" or lock jtw, finally
caused his death. Roes was 32 vvtars
old and was a man well liked among his
ueociates.
It i quite the rage at present among
our professional, as well as amateur
photographers, to obtain a collection of
Indian pictures, and each is vielng with
the other in the attempt to secure the
best subjects. Lo has gotten over his
soperititious prejudice, being persuaded
b; the offer of a few cents to pose as
gracefully as the white man. The finest
specimen of an Indian picture we have
jet seen id that taken by Mr. Gilford

Clark A Falk's drug store window.
"Rain in the Face" or "Stand in the
Window" or whatever he may be called,

Reports from the Atlin mining dis
trict are anything but flattering, and
will probably cause some Oregonians to
wish tbey had rema'med where the
golden opportunities are numerous. One
man in Hpeaklng of Atlin says the peo
p'e who camo out from there last fall
miiat have been looking through glasses
nliich minified a thousand limes. One
prospector who is located close to the
famous claim w hich Capt. Sperry sold
at such an etiormous price, sunk a hole
seventeen feet deep and made a cleanup
of $2 CO. In the mining regions of Ore
gon a sharp prospector can clean upeev
eral times that much by merely looking
at his claim.
Articles of incorporation were filed
yesterday by tha Gold and Silver Mining
Company of Antelope. The capital
stock is $150,000, divided into shaies of
1,500,000, par value ten cents each
share. The principal office will be at
The Dalles, and the incorporators are
V. N. Wiley. R. E. Saltmarshe and
J. B. Croseen. Five mines have already
been included in the incorporation, and
as it will be seen that it is virtually a
local affair, will no doubt receive the co
operation of many and prove a succees.
Although in extremely poor health,
Mrs. C. E. Haight has determined to
attempt the trip to her old homo and
relatives in Connecticut, hoping thereby
to receive benefit, or at least to spend
her last days with ber own people. Her
friends here have deeply regretted the
serious illness of so longstanding, which
the estimable lady has been called upon
to suffer and while they also regret part
ing with her, it is with the hope that
she may improve thereby. Mrs. Haight
desires Tub CUbosiclk to express her
thanks to bet many friends for kindness
shown and to say to them that while
she will be unable to receive them be
fore her departure (some time during the
early part of next week), a card receiver
will be placed at her parlor door, In the
building over Pease & Mays' store, and
she will be very glad to receive tho cards
of any who may desire to leave them.
School Superintendent Gilbert has for
the past week been making it a point to
vleit the schools near the city, and yes
terday made a trip on his bicycle to
Chenoweth creek. Upon returning,
when about a half mile this side of the
school house, his wheel struck a large
rock and Mr. Gilbert was thrown about
fifteen feet onto some rocks. He was
rendered unconscious for a time, and
when he came to, found that his hip and
back were so badly bruised that be was
unable to assist himself. As no one
happened along the road he lay there
from 1 till 4 o'clock, when a boy appeared
on (he scene, and immediately went on
to the school house and informed the
teacher, who procured a team and came
to his assistance. Ho was then brought
home and has since been confined to
l.iabed. Mr. Gi bert s health has not
been the best for some time, and the ac
cident is particularly unfortunate as re
will probably be laid up for several days
at least.
Although not a largo crowd, it was an
appreciative audience that listened to
the violin recital of Elmore Rice last
evening at the K. of P. hail, and ap
plause was frequent as number after
number was perfectly rendered bv the
artist, for such he must be who, unaided
save by the splendid accompaniment of
Prof. Birgftld, enterlainsan audience for
almost two hours. The reporter feels
wholly itcompetent to criticise the work
of a violinist J but at the same time wo
know what pleases the ear and what ap
parently held-otherlietenersspell bound,
and such was the case last night. Better
violinists have perhaps visited our city ;
but 'tis seldom we have such an artist In
onr midst. Each selection was well
chosen and many were so sweet and
touching as to almost bring tears to the
eyes; but the effect when Mr. Rice
stru k the familiar strains of "Kentucky
Home" and "Puwaneo River" was
electrical and tho encore at the close
told of the appreciation, and the ail
dienca was repaid by that ever-pleasing
selection "Tramiierel." Mr. Kice left
today for his homo in Olympia.

crat, aod Ralph E. Moody, of Portland,

About 3:30 this afternoon the barn
belonging to Mrs. Hart, on J adjoining
her residence on the east hill, was
burned to the ground. The need nf a
fire alarm system was fullv demtn:trat d
on this occasion.
Mrs. C. E. Haight !s much worse tc
day, and although she has prepared to
start for the East early next week, her
triends feel sure she can never attempt
me trip. Indeed she may laet but a
few hours longer.
Tonight is the date set for the closing
exercises of St. Mary's Academy. The
doors will be open at 7:."0 o'clock, pro
gram commencing at 8. An admis

children under 7 will be admitted.
Frank Collins, who was arrested
Wednesday uiglit for disposing of horBes

ricks, and appropriating the receipts, is

go to press.
The war department changes its mind
as often as do some individuals, and
now it id a question whether the soldier
boys wi.l mutter out at San Francisco or
come on to Oregon, e nly landing at San
Francisco. Anyway they'll "get here
just the same."
Although the avorage price paid for
wool this year is eleven cents, every few
days clips are sold for 13 cents. This
morning Pat Welch, of Antelope, dis
posed of about 20,000 pounds at 13;
Reddy A, Patterson of Mayville, also
sold tb'.'ir clip at that price.
Meetings will bo held iu the various
city wards this evening for the purpose
of nominating councilmen and water
commissioners, and should be well at
tended. The first "Warders" will meet
in the council room ; Second at the
circuit court room, and Third at the
county court room.
Prospecting parties leave The Dalles
every lew days for the mining districts
in Oregon. Yesterday Messrs. E. S.
Brooks, Can Dinsmore and J. Bowers
formed a party of prospectors, and this
morning L. L. Hill and brother started
out for the country along the John Day
and Crooked rivers as far as Canyon
City.
We have heard of all kinds of thieving,
but the latest is that of last night when
a horseless carriage, us-ed for conveying
Infants about our city, was deliberately
taken from a residence In the central
part of the ctty and removed, to the East
Etui, where it was discovered later.
Look out for the babies; they'll be the
next to bo "swiped."
. Houghton, Baldwin and Schmidt again
won tho bowling medals last night. If
they are equally successful next week,
they are theirs for keeps. A team com
posed of Messrs. Honghton, Bradshaw,
Schmidt, Kurtz and Nolan w ill leave for
Portland in the morning to bowl at the
Road Club tomorrow night in the con
test for the Feldenheimer trophy.
One of the iri&st elaborate coninienca
ment programs we have seen is that of
the state normal school at Monmouth.
The class colors are lilac and cream and
the program combine the two shades in
a oeaiililul uppigti. Among me names
of the graduates we notice that of Miss
Annie B. Thompson of this city, who has
worked arduously during the year and
graduates with a splendid record.
What's become of our fruit evapora
tor? Surelv it has not evaporated, for
at last reports from Mr. gchanno the
subscription list was becoming larger
each day. Mr. Julson, who passed
through the city a few evenings since,
inquired concerning its progress and in
formed us that number of families
have signified their intention of settling
on fruit lands adjacent, when the evap
orator is aseur'-d. ,
YesterJay's Oregonian gave notice of
the marriHge of Miss Gladys Jones,
formerly of Portland, to Mr. John M.
Thomas, of Niles, O.. at New York last
Wednesday. About year ago Miss
Jones left Portland to continue her vocI
culture In New York and at the same
time she accepted a position as leading
soprano in a Congregational church in
that city. She lias many friends here
who will wish her well.
The river ss it stands now, at the 3H 5
mark, is almost a mile wide at this
place, and often have we heard the re
mark, "Oh if it were only at Its present
stage during the entire year, how much
nicer it would be." The upper rivers
will rise iap!dly for flvo days, and the
Columbia stand at 41 Wednesday. II
this prove true, it will cause the rail
road some trouble above and below this
city, the swash effecting the track.

People along the Columbia have never
seemed fully to realixe j 1st bow much
virtue there really Is in the hot springe
which line the banks of the river, and
many make long expensive trips to
famous springs in other states when at
our very doors might be found the Jor
dan which if its waters were only tested
would accomplish the same healing pro
cess. For many years a few stragglers
have visited the various springs at
Cascades, Moffitt, Collins, and other
places, but little publicity lias been
given them and few know bow much
they are missing. The Oregonian Mor
day had an article which told of how
much benefit had been derived by Mr,
IIolman,of Portland, who had been in
poor health for some time and is making
prolonged stay at the hot springs near
the mouth of Wind river, about eight
miles above the cascades.
This is the same place where Mr. W
II. Biggs is staving, and he is loud in
his praises of the benefit be has ob
tained from drinking and bathing in the
waters, which are impregnated ' w ith
minerals of various kinds and which
come from the earth as hot as there is
any need of. Mr. Biggs says when he
first attempted to drink of the w aters he
found it almost impossible, but now he
can drink freely and feels the effects
greatly.
As the springs can be reached by boat
in a few hours they might become
favorite health resort; but at present
they are ow ned by a half-breed, who has
no means and no desire to improve the
property. They claim they can make
all thev want to off of them in their
present condition, and therefore no ac
commodations worthy of mention are
afforded. Parties have offored large
sums for their lease for a season at least,
but such have been steadfastly refused.
Amplo room, however, could be secured
for camping purposes, and no doubt will
be utilized when the healing properties
of the springs are fully known.
Much has been said of Bingham
Springs, which are no doubt all that is
claimed for them ; bu. we fully believe
that along the banks of the Columbia
may be found a balm fully as efficient.
Indeed, we question w hether the waters
at Glen wood Springs, Colo., which ap
pear to us to contain the same prop
erties, are more healing than would be
those right at our owu doors, were the
same amount of money expended on
their improvement.
IMPORTANT TO SHEEP OWNERS
Do
Mot Haatfin to Taka Your Sheep to
the Mountalna.
The attention of sheepmen is called to
tho following letter from S. B. Ormsby,
which is of especial import to them.
He says :
FirBt Sbeepowners are advised not
to be in haste to start their sheep for
the reservation. My advices show that
there is still an immense amount ol
enow in the mountains and it is not
possible for it to disappear from the
ranges before the 1st of July.
Second The eating out of the range
of settlers by sheep on their way to the
mountains, is becoming a matter of
serious import, and is being brought to
the attention of the department in a
manner that cannot De mucn longer
ignored. But tho department has no
authority in the premises outside the
rerervation, and when it does act its
action can only be the entire exclusion
of sheep from the reservation.
Third The attention of sheep owners
is called especially to one of the excepted
areas which is as follows: The east
half of townships 12, 13, 14, 15, IG and
17, 8. R. 9 E. Tills strip of territory is
excepted for the benefit of settlers sli'ng
the line of the reserve w hoso stock may
be running at large. While sheep may
be driven across this area to reach the
range beyond, no stock of any kind w ill
be driven ia and herded on this excepted
area.
Fourth Sheepowners are cautioned as
to the character of the men they have in
their service the coming season. The
owner is, himself, seldom on the range,
his interests are intrusted to others.
These should understand the terms cf
the contract the employer has made w ith
the department and should be men who
will faithfully carry out these terms or
trouble will ariee to the owner.
Fifth A large number of applicationr
are vet due from owners. These must
be forwarded without delay.

taken awav seemed hard to believe.
His mother, sisters and brothers have
scarcely left his bedside for the past few
weeks, hoping that some sign ot im
provement would bo given, but in vain,
and early this morning, when all
nature seemed to be calling to renewed
iife, he left them for the life beyond.
Nat, who was 26 years. 9 months and
21 days old, was a young man of whom it
might be sai 1 that he had not a bad
habit, but was quiet and one upon
whom his mother could always depend
in the work about the farm or in any
help needed regarding the business af
fairs which were left to her UOn the
death of her husband. The neighbors
and frieiuli who h ive seen him grow up
from infincy in their tnidtt, spending
most of his time at tho home place near
thecity, realizs as - uch as those out
side the home can, how much he will be
missed, and sympathize greatly with his
mother, brothers and sisiers.
His brother, Chancey Moore, of Col

fortunately arrived just in time to bid
him farewell.
Death from an Aecldrn.
Early Wednesday morning Charles,

In company with the hired man Char'ei

some wool at the Wasco warehouse.
On the return trip the hired man's

ENGRAVEN IN OUR MEMORY.
Although tha Writer of "KaauMrol Will
amette" II aa raaaed Away.
Sam Simpeon, Oregon's poet who died
in Portland Wednesday, endeared him
self to every Oregonian by that poem
which every school boy and girl, who
had their first reading lessons from lbs
Pacific Coast series of readers, has in
delibly engraven on their minds. When
ever Simpson's name has been men
tioned during his life our minds wonld
immediately revert to those lines, "On
ward ever, lovely river, softly calling t
the sea ;" and now that the soul that
conceived them has left its tenement of
clay, so often as these beautiful thoughts
are rehearsed by those who love them
will Oregonians remember their author
iu kindliest ttioughts :
