As soon as i.eace is declared, there will be no end to good business, and even now Manila does twice as much business as Portland, with only two or three ports open. A proposition is being considered in Biker City involving the connection of that town with Pendleton by means of a railroad line running from the present terminus of the Washington A Colum bia River railway.

Rev. Geo. Leslie, of St.raul'a cbcrch, dy received a copy of a ublication of which he is author. It Is a "History of me American Diocse 0( Colorado," containing complete tistory of tie Episcopalian cLnrchs, parishes aud missions id tbat state from ISO! notil Juneol the present year. At Its iccep- uod in ISol, the diocese inc'.aded not on'y Colorado, but Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, and tbe work covers ali tbe many changes since that time.

Railroad tumors in every quarter are thicker than dust on tbe streets of The Dalles, and fi 02 ever? direction come a different report regarding some new scheme. Tbe following dispatch from Goldendale Sunday to an exchange says : "W. W. Ames, tbe well known fruit grower of Columbus, while visit:og Goldendale today gave encouraging re ports of the Columbia A Dalles Railroad, in progress of construction. Paul F. Mobr is reported to have been iu The Dalles yesterday, where he was met by Engineer J. W. Strack and driven over the work on the north side in tbe vicinity of the fisheries. Another rumor in con nection with the road now being con structed from Co'.umbus to Tbe Dai lei is that a spur will be extended from Columbus in a northerly direction to Goldendale, tbence easterly to the town of North Yakima, and then to a point on the Colombia river above Priest rapids, where a connection will be made mith the bot8 lfcat win con:e ,rom tLe mining section of the Okanrgin.

Dufor is now in Portland, w here be is attorney for the plaintiff in a case where R. H. Boyd seeks to secure from the Portland General Electric L'ght Company foOOO damages caused to bis son at Woodiawn in 1897, whtn be was injured by a broken end of a live electric light wire striking hiui. The p'aiotiff alleges carelessness on the part of tbe company. The boy, by bis father as guardian, brought a former action ai;ain U the defendant, which was tried in March, 1S9S, three months after the accident occurred, and recovered a verdict for the full amount sued foi, $5000. This tbe court reduced to (2500, ,nd . ,ppeal WM uken t0 the eDpreme court, where the case is still pending. This case is brought on a different ground, for the benefit of the father in stead of the son, on the grounds above stated. It is also alleged by the plaintiff that since tbe former trial tbe boy, in consequence of the ii juries received, has bad fits, and gone into convulsions and become peevish, disobedient and quar relsome, as be had not been before; tbat be will continue to grow worse, and bis parents will not only lose bis services in fatare but will be required to con tinually nurse and provide medical at tendance and medicines for him ; which condition and circumstances were not known at the time of tbe former trial.

The little steamer "Klickitat," which bas been plying between Hood River and White Salmon, was taken down to Vancouver yesterday to take the place of tbe Vancouver ferry boat, which is being repaired. Although much better results would have accrued had the state fair been held later in the season so that more farmers could have attended, the finan cial result was quite satisfactory and a surplus of S81.4l was realized. Homer Davenport attended the trial of Dreyfus, and baa been making some comparisons of tbe heads of Dreyfus and Mercier not much to tbe Utter a credit. The pictures indicate that Dreyfus is a gentleman and Mercier a brute. The horse which was stolen from E. C.

It was minus esuuio miu aod no clew was obtained ss to hew it got here. The Regulator was very late in reach ing the dock last night, the delay being caused by loading cattle at Lyle, which were bought by Woid Bros, from A. Bertschi of that place. When going up the gangway some of the cattie took a notion to take a bath and thus he'd tbe boat back nntil they were got out 01 tue water.

SEE WINDOWS. appeal bas been taken from tbe decision to tbe snpreme court of the state. H. H. Biddell is attorney for the plaintiff and Da for A Menefeefor tbe defendant?. Capt. H. L. Wells, of Company L. has been delivering a lecture throughout the state regarding experiences during tbe Philippine campaign and particularly those of . Company L, which bas been greatly appreciated and well spoken of j by the papers. Dalles people will be glad to know that the captain will vieit our city on the evening of Oct.5tb and speak in the Vogt opera house. He will bring with him a stereopticcn and g:ve views which will add much to the in terest of the lecture. Among the stereoscopic views of the Philippine campaign" is one especially interesting to Dalles people. Sitting up on tbe embankment f the fifth trench at Malabon is E l Lmison, looking as natural as life, but gazing complacently at two dead Filipinos lying in tbe trench. The picture is a perfect one, and gives an idea of tbe horrible scenes which become to familiar to soldiers. Earl Sanders is agent for these views, and will begin delivering them tomor row. Misfortune seems to be following Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Johnson, who are now in Portland, Mr. Johnson having been in the hospital there for some weeks. Sunday their little daughter, Irene, who is about 3 years old, was playing at the window in the second story cf Mrs, Johnson a aunt's leeidence, when sbe fell cut. Sbe was very badly hurt, ber face being severely bruised and her arm broken in three places. It is not how ever, thought that sbe has suffered any internal injury, but that she will get along all right. The shock to the parents was very great, especially to Mr. Johnson, who is just able to walk about a little. A cannon was shipped to this city, from Portland, last night, and will be placed in position under tbe direction of Mavor C. P. Bishop, today, to be bred in honor of tbe arrival of Admiral George Dewey, on American soil. The govern or's office will receive notice, by tele graph, from New York city, the moment Admiral Dewey sets foot on land, and, upon a signal from the capitol, the can non will be fired in an admiral's salute seventeen guns. Jt is expected mat tne reception to the admiral (and be will land at tbat time) will take place to morrow, aod not only New York city, but tbe capital of every state, and all the large cities throughout the United States will celebrate bis landing at that time. Salem Statesman. f-haniko is a sure go, and articles of incorporation were Died toJay in tne clerk's cfiico by W. II. Moore, li. f. Langhlin, E. C. Pease, D. M. Frencli, W. Lord, II. A. Moore and J.

The ol j-rt, among other thinjrp, Is the acqairing, platting and laving out of one or more townfites In Wscco county; constructing and maintaining water works and electric liht plants; the carrying cn of Insurance agencies etc., And now as to the name of the new tjwnsite, abo'it which much bas already been said. While Mr. Scherneckan was a respected cit z?n of thi section for some years and a very popular one also, it would seem that as J. H. Ward, lather of Tom Ward of our city, was the second oldest inhabitant of that plce, having settled there in '03 and remained seven teen years, it would have been better to N. B. We arrf still giving one of those ele gant Watches with any Suit or Overcoat. call the new town Ward. But, "what's in a name?" County Cleik Kelsay basjust returned from a trip into the Antelope country, and through Sherman county. He visited the famous Silver King mine, on Trout Creek, near Antelope, and tells us things are lively in that section. At the little mining town of Aehwood they are balding a two-story hotel, have bank, a general merchandise store and saloon, beside many houses, barns, etc., which go to make up such a town. At the mine they have a large amount of ricn ore on tne dumps and are shipping it out by six-horse teams to More. A great deal of machinery for operating tbe mine has been purchased and is now on the way. Prospectors are numerous in tbat section and while prospecting is yet in a crude state, everyone bas rea son to feel encouraged. About twenty-five of tbeir most in timate young lady friends were invited by the Misses Ruch to spend last even ing with their sister, Mrs. Sutherland, at their home on tbe corner of Fourth and Court streets. With music and guessing games (he hours were very pleasantly paesed, Miss Alma Schmidt carrying home a pretty umbrella plant aa a proof of ber superiority over tbe others when it comes to ber.'aptness in suiting tbe names of trees to the an swers given. Afterjrefreehniects, an amusinggame was played which brought the initials of the guests names into prominence and pozsled tbeir wits to answer the questions with only words which began with those letters. Some of the combinations were comical in tbe extreme, particularly tboee in answer to the question, "What is your opinion of woman's suffrage," and it was remark- aoie to note the number of young ladies who seem to have no tendencies in that line. It is said tbe gentlemen friends of tbe ladies played even by enjoying a stag party at tbe home of one of their number, but as we have heard no ac count of broken furniture or arrests in consequence, we judge tbe social function was postponed. Friday's Dally. W. R. Meneiee, of Dufur, was ap pointed a "notorious public" by the governor Wednesday. Tbe Thirty-fifth regiment now in quarters at Vancouver barracks, will till on Monday, Oct. 2nd, for Manila.

He brought with him a sample of granite found on his place. It is certainly a fine looking specimen, the! granite being of a drahieh shade and just suc'.i as would make rich looking tTinir- mftnnmAntM. etc Mr. Winana s.,ys there is a mile of this same quartz in that section, and be believes be bas ii .vvllkiniiiii it lljtn 1rW,t FT r. ! re ceived a diploma at the exposition last year when he exhibited a sample there, and this year expects to place a monu ment on exhibition. Hood River bas a new son, bo:n yesterday. Ii'e a lively one, too, from the way it starts out. Is of tbe right kind of type, perfect in foru, and is already declaring its intention to be Re publican in politics: believes in expan sion, and will therefore grow fast enough to vote for the right man next election. With such intentions, and under the efficient charge cf S. P. Shutt, it can not fail to be a shining light in Hood River valley. We welcome tbe Hood River Sun, and have already added it to our exchange list, hoping Its rays will brighten our path as we peruse its columns. We have some idea of what it means to be entertained in Spokane, having had some experience in that line, and there is no invitation we would rather accept than that which requests us to be present at the exposition on editor's day, October 7th, when tbe Spokane Press Club a ill take in all wanderinit journalists and treat them as tnlythat club can. Tie walking is all right, but there is a "tied" in the affairs of a newspaper reporter, which, taken at Its flood, leads not to Spckane. Consrqnent Iv, as tbe invitation translates the R. 8. V. P. at the lower left hand corner, and says answer P. D. i , we are compelled to txpritt our sinccie ngrets by mail. One of the most pleasant feature cf the Mavs golden wedding yesterday was a reception of friends, who culled to ex press concratuhitlons ; in the afternoon ; I also the telegrams and letters of con-1 gratulatiou received from the city and abroad. Another feature which greatlv pleased Mr. and Mrs. Mays was the thciiihtfuiness ol ttin band in giving them such a delightful serenade. This happy thought of the members of the band will ever be cherished by them, particularly so as Mrs. Mays' invalid condition prevents her enjojin; their music so often as do thoe who are in goo 1 health. No doubt thn sweet strains will resound in her ears for many years, and lighten ber hours of suffering. Capt. Scott, a bo is Intereste 1 in the White Collar steamboat line, is in ton Furs. ir. Furs. Pease & Mays today, and made a call at Tub Chro.m cls office. The captain carries a cane which isacovel affair; the more so be cause it was carved by a convict in tbe stato penitentiary a fellow who former ly was a deck hand on the boats of tbe White Collar line. It is made of maple, carved beautifully, and sketched on it in India ink are the faces of the heroes of tbe naval battles in the late war. The fellow claims tbe entire work was done with a laige needle, sharpened to a fine point. He has sent several out and re ceived pay for them, so that ten his release comes in a short time he will have aoney enough to take him home. A lively altercation caused some ex citement on Second street, near tbe r: . . i .1 - i 1 wuiuii in-ei luugmg nonee, mis morn it ing. Louie Lawler, an old man familiar ! to all a bo have occat-ion to frequent the business streets, was a little bit ont of "gear" this morning, when a tramp blacksmith, who has been about town some time and was also celebrating Dewey's return in a dewy manner, be gan abusing hiui and finally attack irg bim threw him down and was beating; him.

A bad accident happened at tbe Nicolni-Cameron saw mill last Saturday.
