From the number of wheat teams
ahicli have been constantly going up

not teem that The Pallea market is be
ing slighted by Klickitat farmers. It
has been said that Columbus li receiv
ing a greater amount of the wheat than
usual; bat thit It due to the fact that
there it an extra large crop, and there
is an Imint nse amount a hich goes there,
The Dalles also receiving a greater
amount in proportion to the increase In

HUUH BORTHWICK DED.
An Aerldrnt at Guide Catiaea the Heath
or a Man Well Known Here.
H. 15. Korthwick, who died Monday
morning in the hospital at Portland, was
very well known to Dalies people and
all along the Columbia river, having
i... t 1 .
, cMigayeu ia me luujoerirg ousiness
I for the past twenty years. Io the early
70's be came to the Upper Cascade! and
for veari was in partnership with Walter
Frame, until the mill burned in ISSS),
w hen he went to Goble, where be again
purchased a mill.
The accident w hich caused bil death,
happened ai follow! :
Mr. ISorthwick was engaged in mak
ing an inspection of a flume connected
with his mill, a hen he slipped and fell
a distance of twenty feet. He struck on
a broken spile with full force. On le-
i ing picked up be was found unconscious,
j An examination disclosed that one of his
1 arms was broUn in two places and it
j was further evident from his continued
I bleeding from the mouth that he was
! also injured internally. On the arrival
j of the train trou Astoria Mr. Birtl.nick
j was placed on board and taken lo the
hospital at Porlhind, where he died.
Tlie new s of the sad occurrence was tele-graphe-i
to Mr. Edwards, the loc.il agent
of the mill, who Immediately left for
I the ii.j ired man's bedside.
j Mr. U irtbaick was one of the most
enterprising lumberman on the Colum
bia river and had largely buiit np and
extended his business the past few yea; 1.
His death will be deep'y regretted along
the river, and none more than his em
ployes ic the null, all of whom speaa of
him in the highest terms.
All during the panic times, when
mills were compelled to shut down all
over the country, he kept a crowd of
hands at work at his mill, regardless of
the losses that be was sustaining. When
the better time came he began prepar
ations for an extensive business. A new
lug boat had just been completed for
him, and was to have been put in ser
vice this week. Many other improve
ments were to have been made at his
mill, and his death is not only a great
shock to bis friends, but Is a blow to
Ihe businrsi interests of the town where
he operated.
Mr. Rorthwiek'f wife died last spring,
leaving him without any family. He
has brother living in Canadit, who has
been advised of his death.
The funeral was held Tuesday and tlie
interment was in Riverview cemetery
at Port land. The Masonic order and
the Klks participated in the funeral
exerciser.

At 3 o'clock today at the home of the
bride's parent! iu Dufur, Harry It.
Richards and Miss Jetty Siarr wire
! united in mair.age by Rev. O. V. Wl ite
i pjstor of the United Brethren church.
The parlors were prettily decorated,
land quite a number of intimate friends,
as well as many relatives, were pre-ent.
At the close of the ceremony a
wed 1 1 fig dinner was spread for the gu sts,
which a as greatly er j yed as lively c n
versation and jest was engaged in. One
was heard to remark that Mr. Richards'
Star-gazing had a happy termination in
the possession of a Star; while another
said as Harry was constable of his
precinct, it was only fitting he should
have a Star. At the same time all
joined in hearty good wishes.

The prices have been red iced. The pro

Richards, of Fairview, and a very worthy
young man. He has indnstriously gained
for himtelf a competency and bosineea
ability which givei the young lady the
assurance of being well cared for and
having a desirable life companion. Miss
Starr is a very popular young lady, who

F. VV. VVllaon rirrlrd Councilman.
A short, but important adjonrned
meet i 1 g of the couucil was held last
evening at 7 :30 at the recorder's office,
when were present Councllmen Keller,
Clongh, Johns, Gunning, Stephens and
Kelly.
The object of the meeting waa to take
into consideration the bids for the ex
tension of Federal street from Fulton to
Clay. But one bid was submitted that
of W. K. Brown and C. T. Jones. For
ronstructing the same, not including
covering with gravel, their bid wat $&).
A separate bid for covering was 55 cents
per cubic yard. The ouccil delayed
the acceptance of tho bid, considering
that the expense was too great for the
city to bear unaided, and It was decided
'o give the residents a.ljicent to the
street an opportunity to assist, a leport
to be given in at the nxt meeting, on
October 17th.
A bill of C. J. Crandall'i for $25, (or
surveying and making specifications of
street, was allowed.
The committee on stieets and public
property was directed to sell the old
stoves which have been in use in tha
city jail and recorder's office.
Sometime since Councilman Michel
bach resigned, having taken up bia
residence in another ward, and last
night F. W. Wilson was elected council
man for the First wsrd. No doubt the
youngest member of the council will
prove n efficient warden of the city
interests.
