JOUBERT DIRECT ING MOVEMENTS Boers Command Every Exit to the City nud Kqo the British Strength Heavy Flbt at Ladysuiitb. London, Nov. CO. The pre nt week, according to the dispatches from the front, ought to see a change In the de fensive tactics hitherto maintained by the British in South Africa, It Is said the task allotted to General Cleary, that of relieving I.adysmiili, will teat his generalship to the utmost. The Boers are developing a groat deal of strength in the neighborhood of Kstcourt, and General Jouliert is reported to be moving Southward himself in order to direct the movement to repul the British advance, after, it would seem, attempting to isolate Estcourt. This latter movement is already in progress. The Boer practically sur round the town. Another small force was discovered at Willow Grange, south of JNteourt yesterday (Sunday evening. Major Thorneycroft, with a detachment of infantry, made a sortie and engsged the Boers, but with no in a: er nil result. The so-called Boer attempts to rush Estcourt on Saturday were apparently merely a reconnaissance resulting in the Boers obtaining the information which they desired, nnmely, that Estcourt is fairly strongly held and has naval guns in position. The Boers then withdrew out of danger, but remained at points 1 commanding exits from the town Terrific Battle TbursJar. London, Nov. 20. A special dispatch from Estcourt, dated November 20, says a report has reached there ol a battle at Ladysmith Wedneaday, Njvember 15, lasting from daybreak until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Many Boera are said to have been killed, and many are reported taken prisoners. The British losses are reported to be much less. Another battle is said to have occurred Thursday. It Is described as the heaviest yet fought. The Boers' dead, It is added, nirnher hundreds, while the British losses were comparative ly small. Attack Delayed Too Long. Naw Yoart, Nov. '.0. A dispatch to the Tribune from London say: Estcourt has remained tbe center of interest for 'be last twenty-'our hours, since the D i'ch allies are attempting to carry out, al the last moment, the tactica which might have leen most fT-ctive a fort night ago. The w ar ofli?e bulletin during the forenoon tended to miniurxt th earlier report of a Boer repulse by the garrison. It was a slight outpost affair, with a single shell fired from the naval gun and a hasty retreat after small fire ol theenemy. YOUNGSTERS ARE TOUGH Rao Away From Reform School Went to Thieving. and Sai.iw, Nov. 19. Harry Brown and Walter Bradley, two boy about 10 year old, who escaped from the reform school Wednesday, were recaptured by Sheriff Durblo and Deputy Sheriff Colbath, about three mile south of Salem, this morning. Tney bad established a camp In tome heavy timber and were carrying on thieving operation In the neighbor- j hood, entering houses at night and sleep ing during the day. They had stolen a I horse and a large number of articles of I rn!l value, which were fonnd at their I camp, showing that they had taken full ' advantage of their brief liberty. Brown was sent to tbe reform school ! from Jacksonville. Bradley wss former ' ly a charge of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, In Portland. Both boys are ' tougb cl aiacters. Mho flNall Kealster, and How. A settler writing to tbe Oregonisn concerning tbe registering question re ceives tbe following answer: "The law requires that every voter In the state (hall register. If a yoter lives at a great distance from tbe county seat be can register with a justice of the peace or a notary public. A book con taining the registration of all tbe voters In the county alii be prepared, and from tbla smaller books will be made, giving the list of electors In each precinct. There will be plenty of time for every voter to get registers'), a the books will be op n for registration from tbe first Monday In January, 1'AK), In S p. in. May 15th. Thera are provisions where by a person who has ten unable to register may li allowed to vote, but they Involve much trouble, and It will be ailvia.ible for every voter ti register. Any person who fraudulently registers more than ore, or under any but hi true name, or w ho shall Htt-mpt to vole b personating another, shall le pun ished by Imprisonment In tho peniten tiary not less than one year nor nure than three years, or by fine of not less than 1100 nor more than '.WO, or by both mill flue and Imprisonment. Uuder Ibis l.iw, the old style of voting 'early and often' will be done away with." A FRIEND WORTH HAVING. Tbe T.lerani A rrlat.a Tbe Dalits ami I ocltr.liuiK the Mluallou. While uiauy of tbe small papers throughout Eastern Oregon and Wash ington ate continually endeavoring to sound the death knell to The Dalles and give the Impression that it is a doomed city, tbe largest and moat inllueutial publications in the state realise just what the true situation is in regard to our city. As is its wont, the Portland Telegram sees matters just as they are, ami without flattery or undue credit, sums the situation up In an editorial which our citiaens will greatly appre ciate, coming aa it does, from a paper whose inll.ience is so far renchirg. That Dulles people already hold the Tele gram lu great regard Is evidenced by its large subscription list here, and by the fact that th midnight train, whic'i drops it at the "Gateway City," alaays finds a number of our leading cllirens waiting to read It before retiring. The kindly words which it Seaks for us w hen so many are intent on criticism, will do much to Intensify this friendly feeling and gain many friends for tiial popular j ourr.al. Tho article referred to says : "l"nlitiely and fortunately located. Dalles City has been for nearly half a century a prominent point in Oregon, and, notwithstanding some hard knocks it is today oneof the richest and prettiest towns in the Pacific Northwest. Prob ably no other town In tliis region has done sj large a business In proportion to population, and In none has a greater proportion of business men prosiered. The construction of the O. K. A N. railway was a bard blow to TheDalli .. as It Is popular! called ; the removal i the car shops to Alblua was anotl ; and on several occasions (Ire has '' stroyed a considerable portion of the business district; but through all The Dalles haa held its own, ami is now one of the most prosperous towns iu It " state. This baa been largely due to its I -cation at the bead of navigation ol th river, after the completion of tl.e rail road, ajnd at a point to which a very large region of country is geographically tributary. For a hundred miles or more southward everybody bad to come to The Dalles to come "to town," ami do yet ; and that region now ontainsa great number of farmers as well as of stockmen. "The building of the Columbia South e rn railroad, hicb tome day w ill traverse the breadth of Oregon, is on the surface somewhat inimical to tbe business in terests of The Dalles, as It joins the O. K. & N. a c msiderable distance above that city ; and tbe business men of The! Dalles are planning ways snd means to retain the trade of the region through which the railroa I passes. This they may not lie able to do to quite so great an extent as they have done heretofore, buf as th region around Th Ihilles de velops and fills np, the loss on account of the bnlldingof the Columbia Southern wiil be more than mad up. "there will scarcely be any town away from the river to rival Th Dalles, and a bile It is Important for its boeinee men to be alive and active, yst they have no great occasion to worry about the future. The Dalle will be a good, prosperous, growing town a long as tbe Columbia flow past it over it sandy bed, snd s long as the eras grow green each spring on the thousand bills? and the grain upon the extended prairies, by which it is surrounded." After all that has been said and the trouble which has arisen from the sale of lienor to Indiana, no sflort seems to le put forth tc stop It, and nearly every day arrests are made of drunken and qnarrel'ome Indians. Last night two old offenders, Jim Walser and bis son, John, made their appearanc I at Skibbe's bar, In an intoxicated condition and de manded liquor. The bartender re fused and a row ensued, when the young fellow drew a wicked looking knife. The bartender grabbed a piece ol garden hose lying near and strnck the fellow In the face, when some nne near gave needed asiistance. Nighlwstchman Phlrmsn S'on made his apearancn and th dis turber were arrested and spent tbe night In the city jail.
