Yesterday when Ibo Regulator reached
the locks she had but littlo trouble, in
going through, allhongh the canal was
frozen over and the boat had to cut her
way through tbe ice. However, today
the ice has packed in and closed some of
the valves and it la doubtful if our old
reliable will be able to reach her harbor
of safety tonight. If she does it will be
lale, but it she is unsuccessful she will
attempt it again tomorrow and in all
prooatHitty tie ready to leave here as
usual Monday morning.
Frown and Wilson who were sentenced
to lerve eight years in tbe penitentiary
were taken to Salem this morning by
Deputy Sheriff 8exton and City Marshal
Hughe. The guards took no chances
with the horse thieves, and they pro
ceeded on tbeir way well shakled and
handcuffed. By the time tbelr sentence
expires they will probably have decided
that it is better to keep in tbe straight
nnd narrow path, than to wander in the
highway of lawlessness.
Telegraph, telephone and electric light
companies have appealed to the author
ities of Pendleton to protect them from
the tin-sign lackers, who persist in de
facing thefr property by tacking their
advertisements on the poles In the street.
t would be a good thing for the com
I'snies in The Dalles to emulate the ap
peal made by the owners of property in
our eisier ciiy. The polos in our streets
are covered with tin signs, posters,
cards and advertising matter of sundry
"id divers kinds, that is anything but
beautiful although we suppose it
answers the desired purpose for it
surely attracts the eye.
1 his morning Alva fSimm ons wr.s r
'signed before Judge Bradshaw upon
the charge of larceny In a store, he being
(he man aroused of stealing some articles
from Tims. Itiirireaa at Ilaka Ovnn.
Himtnuni pleaded not guilty and his at
torneys, unnuegton & vtilsoncied a
demurrer to tbe indictment. The ques
tion is an interesting one as it involves
in a measure the procedure under the
new law allowing the district attorney
to file information against suspected
parties iostead of baying them iudicted
by the granJ jury as formerly. D. J.
Malaiky, of Portland, is assisting Dint.
Atty. Jayne.
In case of fire of course all should do
tueir oesi to eoouue me mines or give
their help in any way necessary. How
ever, firemen as a rule go immediately
to where their apparatus is boused a.id
place themselves iu readiness to lend as
sistance. When yesterday's alarm was
sounded a on ruber of the firemen belong
ing to companies bti'ow the bluff g t a
team an i rau to the Mt. Hood Hose
company's house, got out their cart and
went to the tcene of the confutation
without even a member from the com
pany mentioned. Quite a number of
the boys were laughing about the in
cident and remarked they remembered
hearing "Better late then never" but in
this instauce the Mt. Hood company
was well, "out o' sight."
People of The Dalles are contemplating
tbe establishment at that point of a
wool-scouring mill, and tbey are likely
to have it erected and in operation before
Portland people get a woolen mill started.
Even if tfley do, there will be plenty of
room and opportunity in Portland for a
big woolen mill. The Dalles is a most
suitable location for a wool scouring
plant, and it would beof'u.ucli benefit
not only to that city but to the many
woolgrowers who annually haul some
10,000,000 pounds of wool to that point
for shipment. It would save paying
freight cn some 3000 tons of dirt and
grease, amounting to over f 100,000 a
year. Telegram.
After holding the attention of the
court yesterday afternoon the case of tbe
State vs. J. II. Preston, charged with
larceny in a dwelling, came to an end
this afternoon when the jury returned
a verdict of not guilty. Preston was
indicted for the larceny of some clothing
from tbe room cf E. Jacobsen, and the
case attracted considerable attention.
Yesterday afternoon was taken up with
the introduction of testimony, and in
the evening District Attorney Jayne
began the argument for tbe state, being
followed by Ned II. Gates, who made
the opening speech for the defense
This morning Fred W. Wilson made the
closing argument for the defense, while
Mr. Jayne closed for the state. The
iry retired at 11:15, and at 1:45 re
turned with a verdict of not guilty.

forged check at the Umatilla House,
and was sentenced to one year in the

Saturday, when tbe sewer question was
discussed relative to tbe assessment
Tbe coun.-il adjourned to meet again
Wednesday evening.
During the cold spell our streets were
in splendid condition but since the
weather has moderated and the melting
of the snow yesterday, we are again
compelled to begin wading or lose our
identity with the creation of man
Yesterday morning many of our resi
dents were surprised on arising to find
tbe ground covered with about an inch
of snow. However, during the day tbe
weather moderated and before evening
all traces of the "fleecy" had been
effaced.
Wm. Hastings who lives in Liberty
district was unfortunate yesterday in
losing bis home by fire. A good share
of the household effects were saved,
nevertheless the loss of a home at this
season of the year is felt more keenly
tban at any other.
Sheep are selling now from
3.50 to
$4 per head ; how comes It that they are
assessed for less than one-half their
value. Cattle likewise are assessed for
much lets than they are worth. The
attention of officials is called to this
matter so that it may bo remedied.
Harney County News.

Last night Doc Brewster, a veterinary
surgeon who has lived in Tbe DalUs for
a number of years, died at Mrs. Rich

Some months ao Brewster was severely

taking patiors at 10 a. ci. tomorrow.
Tne smallpox patient, McDonald, w ho

and future possibilities. The delegates

undoubtedly do much to advertise and
set forth the interests of Oregon and
Washington. Their trip includes a few
days in Havana.
La la Saturday night one of the brick
chimneys nt the Umatilla house burned
out and made quite a blaze. However,
no one in the house was aware of the
fact except the employes who immed
iately got out tbe fire hose and attached
it to the stand pipe on the top of the
hotel and held themselves in readiness
should their services be needed which
were not. For a wooden structure the
Umatilla House is one of the best pro
tected of any on the coast. At least I
half dozen stand pipes are distributed
over the building, while fire escapes are
accessable from different points. The
proprietors have looked out for -the
safety of their guests as well as their
own.
One of the inmates cf the city jail
who has been held as a witness in the
Carey-Qtiinlan casewhieh Is beingtried
today, received some money from his
brother last Saturday and as he has
been a trusty since bis incarceration,
hied himself to a saloon and tilled up
with thb wine that cheers and inebriates.
He was assisted to the city bastile
about 8 o'clock and from that on nnlil
2 a. m. made the welkin ring with ap
peals to his maker and earsplitting in
cantations to his brother until those in
the neighborhood wished the fellow was
with the Boers or in the infernal regions
where he might cry out to his hearts
content and not disturb anyone but
himself, for in the latter place e.icb will
have troubles of his own.
Tuesday's Dally.

editor of the West Side. Mr. Crawford
ill continue the publication of tie
News.
Tho recorder's office has been very
quiet for the past few days, and the
judge has been nnableto furnish us with
at least a case of D. D. However, he
says it is a good showing for the city
and Is ample proof that The Dalles is a
good place to live and invest in.
Those who came down early this
morning were surprised at the unsteadi
ness of life and some had great difficulty
in keeping their equilibrium, for during
the night It had rained, then frcxen, and
when morning dawned the sidewalks
were as slick and slippery as an eei.
A number of tho members of Friend
ship Lod,?e No. 0, K. of P., left on the
afternoon train for Hood River, where
they go to participate In the anniversary
ceremonies which will take place to
night. A program lias been arranged,
after which a banquet w 111 be given.
Owing to the rain and snow for the
past few nays the streets have again
become quite muddy ; consequently the
authorities have teen fit to pat a man to
work cleaning the crosswalks, which in
deed is qui:e acceptable to the public
whose business takes them thiough onr
thoroughfares.
The foundation for the r.ew Mult
nomah Club buildiug, in Portland, lias

Tbe D. P. & A. N. Co. haye again in-
augerated daily service between this
point and Portland. The steamer Dalles
City, which has been undergoing re
pairs, has been thoroughly overhauled
and is in first-class condition. She will
leave every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday mornings, while the Regulator
will leave as usual on Mondays, Wednes
days and Fridays at 8 a. m.
Judgi Bradshaw did not only his die'
trict, but Multnomah county, a good
service when he sentenced the robbers,
Brcwn and Wilson, to eight years in the
penitentiary. The only way he conld
have done better was to sentence them
to even longer terms. But this will do
very well, considering the frequency
with which sentences ranging from one
to fi'e years are imposed in this state
on such criminals. Telegram.
A meeting of those interested in the
scouring mill proposition was held this
morning and the project was disenseed
in all Its details. However nothing
definite was done and an adjournment
was taken nntil this afternoon when
another session was held. We were un
able to learn exactly what was done but
we are at liberty to say that it is practic
ally an assured fact that we are to haye
a scouring mill end it will be erected In
time to handle a share of this season's
clip.
Miss Mamie Helen Flynn, the well
known Huntington musician and elo
cutionist will appear tonight for the first
time before a Dalles audience. She has
expressed her willingness to assist thb
ladies of the Catholic church at their
entertainment and will be quite pro mi
nent on the program. Miss Flynn has
during the past two years, won quite a
reputation all over the west, having ap
peared at Portland, Baker City, Salt
Lake, Denver and elsewhere, and win
ning high praise from the press. She is
a graduate of the Denver Conservatory
and College of Mueic and School of
Oratory.
News comes from Everett, Wash.,
that William G. Steel, of Portland, was
married to Miss Lydia A. Hatch, of
Everett, last Friday morning. Mr.
Steel is a well known young man and
exceedingly popular among those who
know him. He has attained consider
able prominence as a newspaper and
magazine writer, and is also an en
thusiastic member of tbe Mazama Mountain-Climbing
Club. The bappy couple
went first to Seattle on their bridal trip,
and are now speeding rapidly along the
country with the delegates to the Na
tional Press Association convention at
New Orleans, which they will attend.
LiBt Thursday and Friday the coldest
weather of the' winter prevailed in Uma
tilla county. Thursday night the ther
mometer indicated one degree above
zero, the lowest point reached prior to
that time was six degrees above. It is
feared that this hard freeze-up, coming
on the heels of a long period of unusual
ly warm weather, will result in serious
damage to fruit trees. Growers from
the Milton district, which is famed for
its floe fruits, say that the pioduct of
all varitirs and kinds is practically all
destroyed. Similar reports are coining
in from other parts of that county. It
is believed that tbe wheat crop has
suffered some injury, but to what ex
tent will not be known lor some time.
iThe effort to establish a crematorium
in ttls city, says the Telegram, will
meet with the favor and support of many
of our most intelligent and resprcted
citizens, though whether it would pay
as a business enterprise, at least for
a while, may be doubted. The argu
ments are nearly all in favor of crema
tion rather then interment of the dead,
but the custom of ages and the un
reasonable impulses of the bereaved
stand in intangible but almost impreg
nable opposition to the better way of
disposing of the dead. The brain ap
proves, but (he "heart" rebels, and In
such a case the "hert" will triumph.
Such is tbe situation at present, yet the
practice of cremation hns gradually
grown during the last decade or two,
and Is slowly becoming more common
and less repugnant to the people. If an
Incinerating institution were located
here many who have been opposed to
its use would gradually change thehr
views, and it would eveutually do an
excellent service for Ibis large com
munity ; but it is doubtful if it would be
rushed with business for years to come.
DEATH OF R. H. WILLIS.
A I'rureeeor Well Kaowa la The Dallei
Away.
There are a few old Academy pupils
still living here and in this vicinity to
whom the intelligence that 11. H. Willis
has gone from earth will awaken a tide
of memories. Not strange will it be if
some of these niemViei are of the nature
of unimproved privileges. Prof. Willis
was a most rare student, indefatigably
energetic in bis own work, his assiduity
iu requiring the same from those under
bis charge was unwearing. His own
education had been achieved with
limited means. He was graduated at
the university ot Virginia where he took
high rank from the first and won un
stinted praise from bis professors. His
vacations after beginning his chosen
work of teaching were usually spent in
attending courses of lectures at the best
universities, both in Ibis country and
Europe, with unflaging ardor taking r.ew
courses and advancing bis work on tbe
old lines.
During the time of bis stay in The
Dalles, his study was in the ancient
Sanscrit. While he was in Baltimore at
John Hopkins university, his work was
in the old Gothic, a language wholly of
tne past, and of which the only remains
are fifteen pages of one of ihe gospels
translated by Bishop Ulphllas, A. 4).
377. From this fragment the entire
language has been reconstructed thus
giving of great use in nnderstandiug a
key to the information of our own
language in the foui th century.
Dr. Willis held many posts of profes
sional honor, but tbe main part of his
work was in the university of Arkansas,
though for tome time before his death
he was in charge of the Episcopal school
for girls in Chatham, Va. The same
paper which gives notice nf his death
says that list term the rooms were en
tirely lull, and that by January 1st the
new building would be ready for use.
On the morning of that day Ids spirit
had taken its way to tenlmj where his
Insatiable desire for learning will meet
fullest satisfaction.
Dr. Willis left a wife a native of
Syracuse, N. Y. and two children, to
whom the sympathy of their friends In
The Dalles will be extended.
K- OF P. ANNIVERSARY.
Hall Crowded
Had i
With Vlattora
i Mart jr Tim.
The 3Gth anniversary of Pythianism
was celebrated last night in Castle hall
by FrUndship Lodge' No. 9. Many
friends of the order had been invited to
he preant and at 8 o'clock nearly 300
people were seated.
Tho first number on the program was
a quartette consisting of Messrs. Lun
dell, Simonton, Landers nnd Poling,
which was well received. The next was
a violin solo by Clarence Gilbert, ac
com pained on the piano by Mise Gilbert
This was followed by the quartette as
named above and the rendition of "The
Flag Without a Stain" brought forth
much applause.
Rev. Poling then addressed the au
dience on the origin of the order and
how it helped to cement the ties of the
North and South at the conclusion ot
the civil war. His talk was short but
very pleasant, and in closing, he dwelt on
the order of Ratbboue Sisters and made
a mention that to be a Knight in the
true sense of the word all brothers
should enter the bonds of matrimony,
for nearly all men who have achieved
greatness or made a decided success in
life had been influenced more or less by
women.
After another quartette tbe closing
number on the program, which was one
of the best of the evening, was rendered
by Miss Hazel Waud and Miss Lela
Kelsay. They sang a song in rag lime
and were so heartily encored that tbey
responded with a cake walk, which was
all that could be desired.
The floor was then cleared and thooo
who wished indulged in the pleasant
past time of dancing, tbe music being
furnished by the Baldwin orchestra.

questioning the stranger produced a
small Bible, in the back of which aha
casually discovered the name, "Pete Mc
Donald, Ti cjiiia." As soon as the au
thorities guLthis clew they felt that par
suit of McDonald was the surest way to
catch the burglar. The officers here
soon afterward learned that a man
answering the same description as the
one trying to sell the watches, had
stopped over night in tho Overland
hotel, in tbe North End. The chamber
maid had accidentally discovered be
tween the matresa and sprin.-s a large
quantity of jewelry, consisting of watches
and rings.
Before the officers were informed. th
man had taken his jewelry and de
camped. Infoi mation was gathered,
however, that he had gone to the Sound.
Sheriff W. W. Withers, of Lane county,
wherein Junction City is located, was
notified and Immediately placed himself,
in touch with the Tacoma police au

passed through the city for the Soond,
and it appears that the arrest was made
upon his artival there. McDonald 1st.

case, but so completely did he disappear
after his burglary that had it not hen
for the accidental tracing, he might
have disposed cf the plunder without
being discovered.
NOTICE.
To the Settlers on the " Overlap of tht
Sorthern J'acijie Railroad Company:
The Eastern Oregon Laud Company
hereby desires to give notice to all con
cerned, as follows :
That at the October term, 1890, of the
supreme court of the United States, the
cases of the Extern Oregon Land Com
pany against E. I. Mesrjingcr and John
D. Wilcox were decided January 8, lSJUO
in favor of this company; that any
further question as to the' title to the
lands included in the grant to the Dalles
Military Road Company, is Thereby
finally settled.
This controversy forced upon the com
pany through the'ruling of the interior
department of Ihe government, has been
long and expensive, both to the settlers
and the company, and has worked a
serious injury to all. We have under
stood that there Is as is quite natural
some anxiety prevalent as to the policy
that the company inttnds to purine.
In response to this feeling, we hereby
declare that it is our purpose to do)
exactly right to adopt and cany out a
policy that will afford no fair or honest
man the slightest pretext upon which to
found a grievance. No man who wants
to treat the company with justice, or
who desires to respect the laws tf the
land, shall have cause for complaint.
The Eastern Oregon Land Company
will make no unjust exactions or de
mands upon settlers who have hereto
fore filed upon the lands, but will deal
in a humane and liberal spirit with ail
who will meet us in a corresponding
disposition. The company will also nse
its good offices to secure, through Ore
gon's representatives and the company's
agents in Washington, to such of the
settlers as mav be entitled thereto under
tbe law a reimbursement of any
moneys heretofore paid bv them to the
government; and if to that end addi
tional legislation Is necessary, we will
exert our best endeavors to promote it.
Uur agent in Oregon, Mr U. w. He
Near, has been instructed that in hi
intercourse with the settlers and in the
adjustment of Ihe business relations
with them, the principals set forth here
in are to be absolutely observed.
lours respectfully,

BIBLE'S GOOD WORK.
It Led to tho Arreat of Its Owner for
Burglary.
From Tacoina yesterday came the
news of the capture there of Fete Mc
Donald, a man wanted for a wholesale
burglary of a jewelry store injunction
City, says the Oregonian. McDonald
came u this city ixmediately after his
crime, which wss committed January
20, and it was through information fur
nished by Detective Day and Weiner
that the arrest in Tacoina was made.
The accused man is charged with
taking between 30 and 40 watches, 65
gold rings and a considerable Quantity
of other jewelry, but nothing was heard
as to whether any cf it was recovered at
the time of his arrest.
Immediately following the burglary in
Junction City, January 20, the police
authorities here were notified and in
structed to keep watch. Shortly after

affair In a curious manner, through a
quiet effort he made in Salem. A woman

monial of Mr. C. D. Glass, an employ
of Bartlett A Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me.
He says: "I bad kept adding to a cold
and congh in the winter of 1897, trying;
every cough medicine I beard of without
permanent help, until one day I was in
the drug store of Mr. Hoolehan and he
advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and offered to pay back my
money if I was not cured. My lungs and
bronchial tubes were very sore at this

It according to directions and in one
