seven feel three Indira. Mr. Korlck
lay It beat any rya crop be ever taw.
Circuit court opened here thi morn
ing with a light docket. There are only
two criminal cates, that of Kobert
tiarduer for assault with a deadly
weapon, and that of William VanTell,
who I accused of horse stealing. The
civil casva are few and unimportant.
Mr. (1. V. Ciuinther, of thla city,
who ha been quite 111 for nearly is
month, yetterday morning lubmitled
to an operation by Dr. f eieendorfler,
which it I hoped may afford ultimate
relief. The patient rallied from the
operation satisfactorily and I now a
well a could be exected.
A good deal of the wool from lb ceo
Iral and southern part of thl county Is
being hauled to The Dalle thi year on
account of the excessive freight rate
charged by tb O. ft. A N. Co. between
Arlington and that place. The team

The third section of The Dalle ex
curtlon train wa delayed last night three
mile east of Cascade Lock, on the re
turn trip to I'ortland, about 7:30. The
arch pip in the engine drawing the train
wa broken, totaJly disabling the loco
motive. The train c tuie to a standstill
in a desolate locality. A meeaaga wa
sent forward lo Cascade Lock to notify
tb chief train dispatcher. The twenty
cotclie waited until locomotive ai rived
from Tbe Dalle.
Rev. Adelhelin Odermatl, O. 8. B.,
officiated yealerday at St. Peter' Catholic
church and during the sermon announced
to the congregation that at h wa now
a parishioner of St. I'eter'a If the ciops
at Crate' Point (arm, which bad been do
nated lo the Dsnedictlne by Mr. Vogt,
torned out a good a tbey now promne
to do, ha would do all lo bit power to
help the pailshloner of 8t. Peter'l to
wipe out their church debt.
The experiment that have been car
ried on by the O. K. 1 N., with Drome
grass and on the arid land In tbe vicinity
of Teloaaeet, tooth of I'nion, have deter
niited that the new grass will grow lux
uriantly on the dry and almost barren
bill. A considerable quantity of seed
will be town thi year and it I expected
that great thing will result from the
planting of this new grass in converting
desert place iuto pasture land.
Jane, wife of William Key, died at
Mayville, Gilliam county, May 20th,

After the dose that The Dalles demo
crats got from the two mlddie-of the
roaders, they can congratulato them
selves, if report be true, that Texas
Rridley failed to connect. At Condon
Uradley announced himself a chairman
of the populist state central committee
of Texaa ami made such a thoroughly
out and out populist speech that when
be wa leaving next morning the only
one In the town that appeared to bid
him good bye wa the republican post

The attendance at the graduating ex
ercises faturday night tilled the Vogt
opera house tu the door. The claas con
sisted of twenty. one members, tome
thirteen of whom read short paper of
more than nsual ex.'eilencH. The di
plomas were presented by Klate fnper
liileniieiil Ackerniun at the cloae of a
speech In which he paid a hl'h coinpli
liieut to the t-achcrs of Tbe Dalle
schools, alleging that he bad yjlcn else
where held up The Dalle schools at
model of flllcieney and good woik. He
complimented the graduate on the high
character of the paper they bad j ust
read, ami expressed the hope that in
their and their country' coming future
they would each occupy an honored
place at the head of a family trained in
the duties and responsibilities of good
citixeuahip.
There la no mistaking where Dr. Mad
ison C. I'eters, a prominent New York
Ituptlat divine, 'nds on the question
of expansion. Al one of the American
Baptist missionary mas meetings, held
in lMroil the other night, the doctor
aid : ".Nations ought not to stand atill
wheu Uod says Hio forward.' Hpain
thoroughly deserved a good, found
thrashing, and I thank God our nation
wan chosen to administer It. We found
ourselves, after Dewey' victory, where
we never intended to be, but, God help,
ing as, we'll never retreit from the o'u
lles thin laid upon n. We would
be trillion to the flig and enemies to the
cros?, did we leave these people to ret
regretslon and (avagury. We do not
want these territories for ourselves, but
to give these people free schools, free
Institution and free churthct."
Uncle Sam will inaugurate rural de
livery of mail from The Dalle to Slier-
ar't July lAtb. After that day the old
time (tage coach drop out of ase from
The Dalle south. The writer of thi
paragraph, tay 1). C. Ireland in the
Sherman County Ohaerver, saw It es
tablished way back yonder in tbe
palmy day of Canyon City, Boise
"basis," etc., Juat before Henry Wheel
er wa bot off the boot by the bullet of
a redfkin. The stagecoach never build
beyond a certain statu It could bav
made a city of Astoria fifty year ago,
but never could make a city of The
Dalle. Now that Shaniko ha taken
lb stage coach away from it wa expect
to see Ihe natural . resource! of The
Dalle unfold, in spile of it "conierva
live" cllixen element. Unlet they go
to deep on tbe proposition that Ibe gov
ernment is going to do something for an
oen Colombia river.
The conductor' excursion yeiterday
wa the biggest thing of Ihe kind that
The Dalle ever bad anything to do
with. Five thousand even hundred
ticket bad been (old, and allowing that
probably a many a 700 person dropped
off at way towns, not far from 5000 per
son made the through trip. There
were people from many of the valley
town a Ur a Albany and Corvalh.
Hundreds came in from the country ad
jacent to The Dalle to ee friend that
bad advised them of their coming. In
tome, perhaps In many Instance!, the
friend were unable to find each other
in tbe crowd. It took three train and
lixty-on cart to bring tbe excursioniit
here, and the crowd would have been
till larger if more cart could bare been
obtained. Four brat band accompa
nied and discoursed excellent music all
the time they were here. The weather
wa fairly well behaved, although it wa
a little too cool and windy for comiort.
The Dalle wat a revelation to many
who Imagined they were visiting a one
horse country village. It wa a orderly
and well-behaved crowd at ever wa
seen in thi town.

were obtained a few yean ago from a
Mexican wno itopped lor a night at a
farm bouse on Tygb Ridge. The prod
act of these was carefully eaved until
beardlesa barley ia now very extensively
lown for hay. For thii purpose many
consider it far tuperior to wbeat bay.
Besides it yieldt larger return! to the
acre of either hay or grain, and In addi
tion the giain it laid to be tecond to
none for brewing purpose. A well
known Tygb Ridge farmer tavi he hai
a field of beardless barley, of fall lowing

John Phillips, a thoemaker who baa

It it an open and notoriout fact that for
montht and yeart Indiana have been
able to obtain In this town apparently
all Ihe liquor they wanted. Phillips
hat long been inspected, and more than
impeded. Yesterday the sheriff and
marshal secreted themselves in Crandall
A Burgett' undertaking rooms and
watched Phillips enter the little shop
opposite, where be hat been doing odd
jobt of work lately. He waa followed
by old Wasco Charley, and both passed
into a back room. In a minute or two
Wasco Charley came out on the street,
where lie wa met by the sheriff, who
ordered him to fork out "that bottle of
whiskey." Charley handed the sheriff
a quart bottlo full of alcohol, which he
admitted be got from Phillips. Both
men were arrested and placed in the
county jail, where they remain pending
the arrival of an officer from Portland.
After Wasco Charley bad been a little
while in the jail with Phillip! he changed
hi tune and laid he found the bottle of
alcohol. Thii avail Phillip little, bow
ever, ai a number ol wltnesset of the
highest character have been summoned
that will prove till guilt beyond a shadow
of question.
Campbell A Wilson will tell their line
of millinery, trimmed and tintrimmed
hats, flowert and children' hat, at
greatly reduced pricet for the next

ASKS FOR A FAIR DtAL.
What is Onnii f,r Ihs Itubsrta Goose
Ought Not to Be Had fur tb
Kiifur (lanil.r.
To tiik KurroK :
It seems to me that tl.eie it too much
ink being used In tbe democratic organ
of Wasco county on tbe record of Hon.
A. H. Robert!. It don't deserve o
much attention. Space tlionld be di
vided with the record of Hon. K. B.
Dufur, who voted "aye" to every quel
lion that the Mountaineer it giving
credit lo Mr. Roberta for.
Don t yon think, Mr. Editor, It would
be a good Idea to look up the journal
and state that Mr. Roberta wai ably
backed by Mr. Dufur in the normal
school bilIT that Mr. D. voted for the
amendment to make, two schools In
stead of oue, and voted for the bill?
Don't you think that while our fiieud,
the Mountaineer, it giving the credit of
the bill that increased the talary ol onr
school superintendent to $14i)0 to Mr.
Roberts, it would be well to look a little
after Mr. Dufur't interest! and tay that
that act wat a "tenate bill," considered
on teveral different days ; that it wat
tontidered by the tenate acting as "com
mittee of the whole," with Senator
Michel! in the chair and Senator Dufur
on the floor?
Are you going to lee Senator Dufur
lote the honor of having the talary of
the school superintendent raited when
be wat on the floor and the only repre
lentative of Wasco county In a position
to act w hen the bill was considered by
sectiors? Are you going to fail to ihow
that when thii act, carrying the in
crease of talary (which was the act re
vioing the entire school law) was
brougnt into ti e house, it would have
tacriliced the whole law for .Mr. Rob
erta to have amended it on salary? Are
you going to allow Mr. D. to lope the
honor of putting our county, with some
thing over 4,000 pupils, above every
county in the stato except Multnomah,
on school superintendent's talary, and
within $100 of that county and it! 24,000
pupils?
I do not believe Mr. Roberta should
be allowed to steal Mr. Dufur't thunder
In thii campaign. I think Tin Ciikom
CLE, at a republican paper, it entitled
to tay to Itt reader that there it no act
credited to the late leeialature bv the
Mountaineer in which Mr. Dufur did
not, by bit vote, back Mr. Roberta and j
bear his full thare of the honor. W
do not believe Mr. Dufur it being treat
ed fairly by the Mountaineer. He ii a
man of nerve and modesty, nerve
enough to allow hit party paper to con
demn Hon. J. N. Williamson for tbe
"apportionment bill," and too modest
to come forward and itate Ibat be bap
pened lo be ontside the tenate door
when the vote was taken and did not
thirtfore role agnintt it.

In wide contrast with the conditioni
that existed four yeart ago it it a rare
thing these oVayi to find the ttreet
corners of The Dalles occupied by little
groopt of men ditcaseing nolitict. Tbe
people at a rule are too busy earning
big silver dollar, every one of wbicb,
tuankt to republican legislation, it at
good at tbe bett dollar under tb ttart.
Once in a while, however, two or three
old tiluriant come out of their holei and
vex tbe air with lamentationt regarding
the tendency of tbe timet to expansion,
or what they are pleased to call im
perialism. An old-line democrat, who
never voted a republican ticket in bit
life till four year ago, when he refused
to follow bit party on a platform of
anarchy and debased currency, ttruck a
imall coterie of these ancienia yeiterday.
Tbey were on the old tack and Ihe old
liner opened on them in tbia faahion:
"You measley lot ol blankety incnrable.
do you not know tbat we have expanded?
Do yon not know tbat Jefferson and
Jackson and Monroe and Pierce and
Polk, and every name that ii honored In
democratic history, were all expansion
ists? Do you not know tbat tbe ground
you stand on il ground won bv demo
cratic expansionists? Do yon not know
that everv foot of American aoil that hai
been added to the original thirteen
itatei from 1803 till 18, with the single
exception of Alaska, bai been added by
democratic expansionist!? Do yon not
know that when you talk of imperialism
yon are talking through your venerable
hats? Po you not know that you can
not scare anybody, talking about tome
thing you don't believe yourselves?
I raw I into your noies and die, will yon,
the whole measley lot of you, or come
out into God'i sunshine and learn that
it ii the world that is moving while you
are standing atill." And the Silurians
opened their venerable mon'hs in silent
and unfeigned astonishment as the old
liner wended hii way.
The candidate he kissed the babe
and rnhbed the heads of Sam and Sue;
he swore Ihe twint were beautiful, and
wished that he had two hut that don't
count. He asked about the corn bread,
which he vainly tried to chaw, and
forthwith bengcd for the recipe. Of
course that lickeled ma but that don't
count. But just before he b ft he
stopped and winked, clo-ed rp his jaw,
and slipping out behind tlm barn e
took a drink with pa and lhat'i what j
counts. Myrtle Point Kiiterprise. I

He was unconscious when taken home
and remained in that condition two or
three hours when he quietly patted
away. All that surgical skill could do
to save the young life wat done bat Ibe
injury wat so seriont that all effort!
re in vain.
The accident It a peculiarly lad on
and Ibe sympathy of the entire com
munity goet out in large measure to
Mr. and Mrs. Huntington in thit time
of deep affliction. Wilson was their only
child and the love and hope of the father
and mother centered around the young
life which had been such a source of
pleasure and comfort during the eleven
short yean that he had lived. Hit wat
an unusually tender and aQVciionata
nature. Hit teachers at school, one and
all, speak of his manliness and kindly
spirit, and the earnest way he nnder
took the taki before him. With hia
playmate! he was a cherished com.
psnion, eagrr to j iiu tr.e e ports of boy
hood but never forgetting his courteous
and gentlemanly behavioi. To the older
peuple he wat looked upon at a boy who
in the dayi to come would develop tboee
sterling qualities eo pr:zjd among all
men.
The writer of this article hat been
told many timet this morning what a
pleasure it afforded to note the affection
ate feeling that Wilson constantly dis
played towards bit parents, and their
lost and sorrow now ha for itt partial
solace the remembrance of tbe bright,
young life which came and bletsed them,
and left tucb a comforting memory.
Wordt are weak at a time like thit and
avail but little at ministration! of
comfort, bat in the dayt of looelineat to
follow it cannot be otherwite than that
Mr. and Alrt. Huntington will be
toothed and sustained by the knowledge)
that in every home in The Dalle there
ii deep sympathy flowing towardt them.

While in Peektkill Mr. Greeley waa
tilting on a hotel piazza, scanning tbe
columns of tbe Tribune, when a stranger
came along, glanced contemptuously at
the paper and remarked
"Fine sheet you've got here, mister !
I used to read it myself, but I've sub
scribed for a decent paper now, and aa ,
fast as the Tribune comes along I feed it
to my goat. That's all itt fit for."
Greeley glanced np over bit paper
with a quizzical smile.
"So yon feed your goat on Tribunes,
do you?" he asked in Ihe mildest of ac
cidents. "Yes, tir, I do," blustered the stran
ger. "All right, my friend, said Mr. Gree
ley, "keep right on reading tome other
paper and feeding your goat on Tribunes,
and I'll guarantee in three mouths'
time the goat will know a darn sight
more about what it going on In the
world than its owner does." Lippiu
