"'is year's crop, on condition that they
agree to pay him a bonus of $1500, or

He says with a plant at The Dalles he
could afford to pay at least a fonrtb ot a
cent a pound more for prunes than he
conld pay if he shipped them green, at
it takes three tons of green prunes to
make one of dried. Mr. Smead esti
mates that The Dalles will have 300 tons
ot prunes to dispose of this year, and
possibly 400. Without a dryer the
greater portion of thtae will be allowed
to go to waste. An effort is being made

succeed. There appears to be no doubt
that Mr. Smead has control of all the
money be may need for handling fruit.

members of the 20th Kansas and others

store that afternoon, sent for F. B
Bearce who testified as to what Ogden
said and they gave him his choice to
apologize or take the consequences. He

would have had a mighty rough time if
he had not. This is a patriotic town."

and would present the matter to the as
sociation and be ready to announce their

favoring the holding of the convention
in Portland and extending a cordial in

The expense of getting up such an ex
hibit for the Portland carnival as will
do justice to Wasco county is considera
ble, and the local Elks who are manag
ing the affair and who have no more
Interest in the exhibit than any other
class of citizens, apart from farmers and
fruit men, will ask the businees men ol
The Dalles to help them bear part of tbe
burden. This is only fair and reasona
ble. We understand that a committee
of tlks will, at an early date, call on tbe
citizens for help in this important work.
John Koberg should hang out his
ingle and advertise as an expert sur
geon, says the Hood Kiver Glacier.
About two months ago three of his fine
ertey calves tix months old were
caught on the railroad track and each
ad a leg broken by a passenger train.
The bones of their legs were broken
lean off and their legs were dangling.
Ie immediately went to work to set
the fractures, and with the assistance of
is wife, succeeded on all three. After
three or four weeks the bandages wero
removed, and now the calves seem to be
11 right.
It is a shame and disgrace that the
fruit men of this section do not bave
tome organization lor the purpose of
marketing their fruit. A Mill creek
ruit man got the returns yesterday from
ten boxes of pears that he shipped to
Portland about ten days ngo. They
netted him lees than five cents a box.
The commission man w ho handled them
a not necessarily to blame. They were
hipped to a glutted market and the
hipper had no means of knowing what
e was doing till it was too late. With
properly conducted shipping organir.a-
lon a case oi this kind need not occur.
It would be the business of the organi
zation to know the condition of the
market before a shipment was made.
But these things happen here every day
in the week. Car load of peach plum
and prune were thipped from here last
year that were never heard from. Five
or tix carload of peach plum are said
to have been thipped thit season, the
returns from which amounted, practic
ally, to nothing. No wonder fruit men
get ditcouraged. Any business con
ducted as the fruit business It often con
ducted here, would go to the dog in no
time.
Brome grass experiments have
aroused more interest among the agri
cultural classes in the Northwest than
anything tried in that line before. This
grass was introduced in Oregon and
Washington by R. C. Judson, industrial
agent of tbe O. R. A N. Under the di
rection of the traffic department of that
railroad, Mr. Judson has made a nuin
her ol tests upon the eiperimenta'
farms. These experiments proved tha
it would grow upon semi-arid lands
that it was a good feeder ; that it would
serve to bind sandy soils together, and
possessed other qualities which made it
specially fitted for the soils of the arid
section of the Northwest.
A good illustration of what a small
irgmuiaie expeuuiture ol money may
sometimes eueci in me saving of prop
erty from destruction by fire is furnished
by a little incident that happened at an
early hour yesterday morning. When
gentleman, who is employed down town
most of the night, reached his home on
the bluff he noticed a fire that had
broken out In a lot of rubbish back of
the postofUce. He immediately rang up
the Seufert A Condon central office and
la two or three seconds the little red
light at Nielsen's corner told Night
watch man Alisky that th re was some
thing wrong. In about as short a time
as it takes to tell it Alisky was at the
fire and bad it stamped cut. In this
particular case the tire in question in
volved no great risk, but then it might
bave been far otherwise. A little
judicious expenditure ot money on a
new tower, and a new bell on the bluff
might, too, effect a great saving some
day.
George P. Higlnbotham, a prominent
citizen of Moro, Sherman county, today
shot a man named Jenkins, the ball
entering Jenkin's breast a little below
the heart. Tbe shooting took place four
miles from Moro. A Moro physician was
called to attend the wounded man whose
injury is supposed to he fatal. Higin
bothara was arrested. The trouble arose
over a division of grain. Such is the
meager informatitn received at 2 o'clock
this alternoon over the long distance
phone. Higinbothan is presumed to be
a warehouse and livery stable man of
Moro. He owns a farm about four miles
from Moro that he had rented to a man
named Jenkins. It is known here that
Higinbothan has been quarrelling with
Jenkins all summer and wanted to get
him off his place. Higlnbotham is said
to he a quarrelsome stubborn man.
The local lodge of Elks are making
praiseworthy efforts to have Wasco
county well represented at the carnival
to be held in Portland from the 4th to
the 15th of September. They will spare
neither money nor effort to make the
horticultural and agricultuial exhibit
from Wasco county a credit to the coun
ty and, if possible, tbe beet tbe county
has ever made. At a meeting held at
the club rooms last night the following
committees were chosen to procure ex
hibits and in a general way help to pro
mote the object in view : Emile Scbtn
no, chairman and general manager; II.
T. Johnston, of Dnfur; E. L. Smith, N.
C. Evans and J. E. Davidson, of Hood
River; C. R. Smead, of Blalock ; F. C.
Seufert, O. D. Taylor, A. 8. Bennett,
N. Whealdon, Pete Stadleman, The
Dalles; Charles VanDuyn, Tygh; A.
Sandoz, Mill Creek; George Cooper,
Dry Hollow, and A. Stewart, of Mosier.
George A. Young and J. M. Russell
were appointed a special committee on
wool, and John A. Douthit and Hugh
Gourlay to represent the press. The
Portland carnival committee bave
offered to give Wasco county any amount
ol apace In tbe "agricultural palace"
that may be considered necessary, from
50 to 150 feet. The O. R. A N. Com
pany offers to carry the exhibits to Port-
and without charge. It is earnestly
hoped that the f'uit men and farmers
will co-operate with the committees In
their effort to make an exhibit that will
be a credit to Wasco county as well as
to the state. We have the stuff to do it
with. Let us show the outside world
what we have got.

Having criticised Mr. McKinley yes
terday for sending troops to China, a
certain Bryan oigan says today he
would better hurry up and eave Ameri
can lives. This is a real anti-expansion
idea. Uphold American honor, but

When the treaty with Spain was
pending Mr. Bryan made a trip to Wash
ington to advise hit party friends in the
tenate to vote for its ratification. He Is
now running for president on a platform
opposing the policies necessarily result
ing from the approval of the treaty.
Senator Hoar makes an exceedingly
serious charge against Mr. Bryan In thia
connection. Tbe senator says: "I
knew from the opponents of the treaty,
with whom Bryan labored and who la.
bored with him just what he said and
did at that time. lie just put bis sup
port of the treaty squarely on the ground
that it was better to keep the issue for
tbe presidential campaign." It was
wholly on I arty grounds. Senator
Hoar asserts that Bryan appeared at
the capital to influence votes for the
treaty, hoping that it would involve tha
country in such difficulties that the ad
ministration would be ruined and tha
path made easy for the democratic nom
inee of 1900, who, as Mr. Bryan knew,
would be himself. Corvallis Gazette.

Wednesday's Dally.
A young man named Barnett Stien-
bolt, some nineteen years of age, waa
brought up from Mosier Tuesday after-
noonjby Deputy Sheriff Woods, under a
warrant of arrest charging him with
larceny by bailee. A short time ago
Stienholt bought a buggy for $80 from.
W. A. Johnston, on a Bixty days' note,
giving as security a mortgage on tbe
buggy and a span of work horses ha
claimed he owned and was working in a
logging camp near Mosier. It was since
discovered that the boy had never
worked in any logging camp nenr Mosier
and owned no horses, bnt, on the con
trary, that tbe horses he exhibited to
Mr. Johnston as his own belonged to a
party at Mosier and had been hired by
Stienholt to be brought here and shown
to Mr. Johnston as bis own in order to
secure tbe buggy. And to complicate
matters still more the lad bad given his
name as Uharles t. tirown and bad
signed this name, instead of his own, to
the note given to Mr. Johnston. When
it was learned that Stienholt had sold
the buggy to Mr. Husky and was pre
paring to leave tbe country, he waa
promptly placed under arrest. Even as
late as yesterday be came here and
secured the bounty on a lot of coyote
